Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

"especially today"? What's today? Can you elaborate?

Den Nasjonale Runkedagen

Tidligere kjent som "Allrunk", navnet ble endret et par år etter TV3 våget å arrangere en aldri så liten "Allrunk på Grensen", noe svenskene var svært misfornøyd med.

Det gamle navnet og tradisjonene som hørte til er fortsatt gjeldende i deler av Vestlandet og i Trøndelag, men spesielt populært er det i Nordmøre.

There is a National Wank Day in Norway?

Everybody gets together on Runkedagen, it is where the English first observed the rumored circlejerk.
