Meanwhile, in Germany

Edit: TIL it is intentionally Berlin, not an accident. See post below.

@noodle @eblu What does `--berlin` actually stand for?

@fell @eblu
I always assumed it was the time to 'berl', as in berl in %n seconds. And assumed berl was an acronym. I was wrong. It is literally named for the city, nullifying the joke. Source comments below.

/*
* The name for this option may look quite strange, here is the story behind
* it:
* During the CCC2007, 10 august 2007, we (hirte, Mister_X) went to visit
* Berlin
* and couldn't resist to turn on airodump-ng to see how much access point
* we can
* get during the trip from Finowfurt to Berlin. When we were in Berlin, the
* number
* of AP increase really fast, so fast that it couldn't fit in a screen,
* even rotated;
* the list was really huge (we have a picture of that). The 2 minutes
* timeout
* (if the last packet seen is higher than 2 minutes, the AP isn't shown
* anymore)
* wasn't enough, so we decided to create a new option to change that
* timeout.
* We implemented this option in the highest tower (TV Tower) of Berlin,
* eating an ice.

@eblu the "innit yeah innit" episode of Time Bandits (ep7, IIRC) made me laugh well above the expected level.
(Which I understand has very little to do with your post but I felt like sharing)

@eblu This just made me audibly laugh in a Teams Meeting. I forgot to mute myself.
