    So it’s basically to stop various glowware from calling home by detecting socks and bypassing it to use another network interface. Neat.

        When you describe something as “glowing”, you are implying some sort of government or law enforcement interference. It was coined on 4chan’s /g/ board and spread by /pol/ (as they often do) while they were in their infatuation phase with TempleOS creator Terry Davis, who was quoted as saying “The CIA n*****s glow in the dark, you can see them if you’re driving. You just run them over, that’s what you do”.
