  • My response as a man, I agree that was 100% supposed to be a booty call.

    But I wouldn’t consider it inconsiderate, if the things he had to do the next day were that important he wouldn’t have come over whether it was sex or not. I wouldn’t take this miss personally, but I wouldn’t expect a second totally platonic overnight hangout sesh if I was OP either lol.


  • It would make sense to call yourself an engineer if it’s your job to engineer things, which by definition means to design any kind of complex system for some kind of practical use.

    “Engineering” is not itself a discipline (branch of study), but instead a category of disciplines. Civil, mechanical, industrial, chemical, and electrical are the core five disciplines that people typically associate with the term engineering, but you can engineer complex logical systems as well, like software or computer networks, and an infinite number of others.

    My point is that trying to gate by protected title “Engineer” on its own is impractical because it’s just a broad concept. It makes more sense for each discipline to create some sort of licensing system and protected title that conforms to that particular discipline.







  • CrowdSec isn’t really for protection against novel threats. It’s just a crowdsourced Fail2Ban that’s extensible with custom rules.

    If you and I are both using CrowdSec, and some foreign machine is trying to brute force into one of my services, then when it tries to do the same to you it doesn’t even get the chance to try. It cuts down on the load.

    You can also define your own scenarios. Most of the rules it ships with block IPs using a leaky bucket method but I have a custom rule that instantly blocks anyone trying to log into anything using usernames like admin, root, pgadmin, etc.




  • The conversation we’re having doesn’t involve the place of irrelevance you’re trying to pull it to.

    It’s not bitching about AI, it’s a conversation that’s different from the one that you’re trying to have.

    I’m not trying to shame you, I’m just letting you know that the weird semantic sidebar you’re trying to start is irrelevant to what’s being discussed. We don’t have to stop what we’re doing and explain this to you just because you’re demanding it.









  • Sure you can. Because in this case Pandora’s box is something which exists solely through a sustained, inconceivable amount of money being continuously funneled into it without any guaranteed long term benefit to the people who do so. It’s a technology which isn’t sold as a product as it exists in its current form, but a theoretical future form.

    If the bottom were to fall out from under it tomorrow, it couldn’t even continue to exist as it is now, it would disappear entirely as there would be no financial incentive to keep it running. Individuals could still run what we have now offline, but its value and usefulness would degrade rapidly as time went on, because it relies on mass-scale power consumption and data theft to remain up to date, much less improve.
