hah yea brainfart but i mean theres a ton of places where you can get your stuff hosted that arent cloudy

unless my definition of cloud is outdated

"cloud" is complicated

like is cloudflare cloud? you definitely share a single pid with other users when you use that

is every aws service cloud? probably, and some of them are undoubtedly similar wrt pid sharing (s3, cloudfrot), and there's lots of general hypervisor/hardware sharing in ec2

is dreamhost cloud? you share a kernel and filesystem with other users (or at least you did back in 2005 when using reamhost was even a bit defensible)

are you mixing up movies with the cube? which was a great movie on its own

also, degrees and current jobs have very little to do with each other, if anything degrees can only prove that you can think in some capacity in a way some other people would like to see you think, but they don't necessarily qualify you for a role in a landscape of ever changing constants with continuous evolution of circumstances. especially in infused you're basically always hosed as a leadership person.

the above isn't defending the Equifax approach, they're hosed

lol sep management servers install with a self-signed 10yr cert by default and there is no mechanism to swap it out besides turning off TLS entirely and then pushing the new cert to clients once they're talking to absolutely anything in the clear and I bet you money there are no expiration warnings for people with old environments. total client isolation situation

yeah. i am in the same boat. i dropped out three and a half years into my BA in history (was aiming to be a teacher) and ended up working on securing corporate and industrial control networks. while funny, i don't judge her credentials. i do however judge her job performance

I had not seen her interview piece at the time, and I shared the image because it fed into an oft discussed topic in the 'pos regarding qualifications for individuals in tech roles, especially those in high ranking and/or critical roles, and the dangers of incompetence.


I thought the image was funny, but the quote just upset me as one of the potentially impacted people.

e: and it is likely indicative of the calibur of people that report to her.

EIT's facebook got hacked a few weeks ago and so they made a couple videos about it, that include weird hacking movies i've never seen:

e: Mostly the second one, but the first one's funny too so :colbert:

e2: should also probably tag it as :nws: since there's a fraction of a second of low-res VHS titties
