Amyris of Sybaris

Amyris (Ancient Greek: Ἄμυρις) of Sybaris in Italy, surnamed "the Wise", whose son was one of the suitors of Agariste of Sicyon, at the beginning of the sixth century BCE. Amyris was sent by his fellow-citizens to consult the Delphic oracle. His reputation for wisdom gave rise to the proverb Ἄμυρις μαίνεται, "the wise man is mad".[1][2][3][4][5]

gollark: Basically:- messaging between computers within CC (via modems) is easy- adding security to that is hard- for messaging between servers, you need to use an HTTP server of some sort to relay messages- you can program one yourself or use an existing service- programming one yourself allows you to handle stuff like user accounts on the server, making security easier
gollark: ... do you want me to simplify my explanations, or something?
gollark: Plus, you can't get discussion between multiple people like this.
gollark: Yes, the different style of interaction is also problematic.
