@feoh @ActionRetro Honestly. It's probably an AI company that doesn't know it doesn't understand networking.

@ActionRetro How is this even a question?

@ActionRetro Just watched the vijeo over on [cat]videos.

As a genuine security professional actively employed in the industry...

9:20 ded. Thoroughly roasted.

I used "crowdstrike" as a verb at work today, to paraphrase: "CI is broken because github crowdstruck us with a bad rust compiler update". AKA: usable any time an automatic update from a vendor breaks your infrastructure.

All I'm saying is, if they didn't want this neologism, they shouldn't have ruined my flight home from Italy.

#crowdstrike

@ActionRetro That was fun. I hadn't really become aware of Arch until its wiki became an invaluable source for low level Linux docs and how-tos (the Arch and Gentoo wikis are indispensable even you use neither).

Install Slackware 3.6 at some point.

@ActionRetro I see all the usual great suggestions on here, but maybe the answer is to go with something extra buttoned down, like Solaris or SCO OpenServer.

@ActionRetro regarding your intro, for me, the funniest part about any P4 being outperformed by any PIII is that the Intel Core microarchitecture that replaced the P4 is an evolution of the Pentium Pro/PIII microarchitecture. NetBurst was a dead end, and it got outperformed by PIIIs at the beginning and the end of its run.

@ActionRetro It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

@ActionRetro You should cut an HDD ASMR short.

@ActionRetro I'm at 5:23 and this is looking disturbingly like my home lab setup. Except that toggle switch is hella cheating. My ATX power supply running a bunch of devices just has a paperclip jumping the two pins. 😂

@ActionRetro doing computers "right" is work. I'm definitely not here for _that_.

@ActionRetro Wonderful, thank you!

@ActionRetro Thank you, sir! I appreciate seeing the v4.0.13 in the corner.

@ActionRetro 13/10 very good boi.

@ActionRetro "Honey, we have an iMac at home."

iMac at home:

@ActionRetro Saw the video today. It's so good. You definitely need to do a follow-up, because RedHat 5.x is such an important moment in Linux history.

Buckle up, this is going to be a thread, and I hope some of this makes it into the follow-up.

IIRC, RedHat was the most popular distro at the time, and it was notorious for bad security practices. This was when the Linux community started to get their act together wrt security, and see it as more than just announcing patches.

@ActionRetro @frumble Is it bad that I recognized fvwm95 at first glance?

@ActionRetro I watched it this morning, and loved it. Re: dISAppointment: from the moment you picked up the front panel ISA card through the end of the video, I kept thinking about dISAppointment. DO IT.
