A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
If it’s referring to something like a mother/daughter circuitboard, I’ll use that. If it’s a host/client connection, I’ll use that. If it’s a primary/backup redundancy situation, I’ll use that. And those are just a few examples. There is rarely a good reason to use master/slave nowadays, since most situations already have better descriptors to begin with.
Remember when we thought being overly politically correct to absurd levels was a bad thing? That said, Dom/Sub, I'd be down for that. Same meaning, different wording, and now it's also a sex reference.
We're using server and agent, but im also a proponent of "captain" and "crew"
Eh it's just words and they are more common than just computers every time I work on my cars I sometimes might have to bleed the slave cylinder or fill the master cylinder when doing brake work
well, i didn't know that computer hardware could be consenting and engaged with with the BDSM community at large.
Personally i just like master/slave because it's really fucking obvious how things are supposed to work. Outside of that there are some more specific terminologies that work better in specific applications. Leader follower is pretty cringe, but mostly gets the point across. Main and sub is already established lingo in the electrical field from what i understand.
I prefer to use Main/Sub terminology. It also works without needing to change any acronyms.
Main/secondary
Prime/secondary/tertiary etc
Not more wokism! Next they'll be demanding we stop talking about executing a child!
But why master and slave would be a problem to begin with. I'm still using it in git. I think people that have problem with it must have serious issues. It's a US American thing. Makes no sense.
It is changing, albeit slowly. In git the default branch was changed from master to main.
In high availability we use primary and secondary, or many other versions of the same idea (main/secondary, etc).
Not sure how disks are handled these days but I haven't seen the master/slave terminology in those since my first CD burner
