@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss Exactly

@Viss “customisable”

[seism0saurus@infosec.exchange]

@Viss

That reminds me of my youth reinstalling Gentoo every x weeks after "tweaking" my system to oblivion. But I learned a lot about computers and os

[viss@mastodon.social]

@seism0saurus i tried the 'compile everything' oses. i got tired of them very fast

[webhat@infosec.exchange]

@Viss @seism0saurus what I had a decade ago that made it manageable was a small compilation farm—made from perfectly good computes people had checked out—using distcc, which allowed me to compile things like the Linux kernel in minutes

Not into Gentoo at the moment, because I have children. And I like spending time with my children more than spending time with Gentoo

[viss@mastodon.social]

@webhat @seism0saurus thats wild. you setup a compilation cluster to compile for one system?

[webhat@infosec.exchange]

@Viss @seism0saurus no, using distcc I could also have the different nodes in the cluster be a cross compiler for different architectures I was currently supporting in my day job, I just leveraged what I already had to compile my other projects to do Gentoo too

[viss@mastodon.social]

@webhat @seism0saurus badass!

@Cali @Viss almost read “customiserable”

@Viss this is like the roofers across the street (and the other construction guys working next door) who have been enthusiastically using a nail gun at 8 AM or earlier every day for ... longer than I can recall now. At least I was gone most of last week.

@Viss (feel free to steal, it’s in my arsenal of memes)

[zarchasmpgmr@infosec.exchange]

@jpm @Viss yeah no. Instant but someone will take their 3% like the credit cards.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@cR0w there is if its so loud it wakes me up an hour before my alarm every morning for two weeks in a row, from five blocks away

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@zarchasmpgmr @Viss yep I'm keeping this one lmao (it's probably made by AI btw lol - edit: no it's legit, thanks for the confirmation)

[varx@defcon.social]

@Viss Oh yeah, this is a totally new thing because ai browsers....people totally weren't already using browser automation tools like playwright and selenium to automate skipping through those trainings. 👀

[viss@mastodon.social]

@varx leave it to gartner to be like 20 years behind the curve

[zarchasmpgmr@infosec.exchange]

@f4grx @Viss this predates gen A”I”, I’ve had it for about 6 years.

[zarchasmpgmr@infosec.exchange]

@Viss here’s another

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@zarchasmpgmr @Viss oh great, thank you very much.

@Viss Hydraulic breakers are most active in early morning when they search for food. You probably live close to their favorite foraging area, underground fiber optic runs.

@Viss

indeed. i haven't taken anything they said seriously in years.

at one point, i was working for a startup hoping to IPO and i didn't dodge fast enough, so got to be the pet techie for the analyst road show.

i was appalled at the lack of any understanding of the technology by these "experts". even scarier, i started noticing that, while i am no financial expert, their business acumen really wasn't much better.

companies would be better off getting cash from the bank and burning it to warm their offices than pay for these "expert reports".
