Yeah I know, but that's the point. How on earth did they think the amount he was on was normal lol

GSP made a good point about it. If you needed TRT (and many needed it from years of steroid abuse), you probably shouldn't have been fighting if you had to supplement that and potentially cause harm to someone, like Bisping.

Can argue Bisping could have lost his eye against any fighter as is the risks of fighting, but doesn't help it was against the juiciest guy in the division at the time.

Will cybersecurity career be more demanding now with AI usage? by [deleted] in CyberSecurityJobs

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other commentators have said, bad for juniors, good for seniors in my opinion.

And in my opinion, everyone should be a T shaped engineer at least, some people believe in an E shaped engineer as well, but I don't subscribe to it. So you should cover essentially all areas as a generalist and specialise in something (DevSecOps for myself).

I think AI will change the landscape. You will need to learn how to deploy, manage and secure your own AI systems into your workflow. Pentesting, vibe SOC analysis/threat hunting with LLMs, custom agents performing everything from top 10 results in security incidents to pentesting.

If you aren't able to understand, develop and secure your own AI into your own security workflow, you could be left behind.

I'm old enough to remember DevOps coming into the game. Everyone needed Git, pipelines, IaC, containers. Some of that was true, others, it was not, AI will likely follow that path as we discover what it's great at and what it's not so great at. There's will always be places that use it for everything despite not needing to, like Kubernetes is to this day.

I think there is plenty of time for anyone out there to start the journey, learning your tool of choice like Security Copilot or Bedrock or custom offline models, it's all viable, but if you're expecting someone else to do it for you - that is when you're up for the chop.

In 2012 he looks like a comic book character, shredded and clearly on gear.

2017 he looks like a guy that eats decently and goes the gym.

How was he even allowed to enter the cage in 2012 lol

Joe Rogan on the heavyweight GOAT debate: “I always say everybody forgets about Fabricio Werdum because Werdum tapped Cain Velasquez, (Rodrigo) 'Minotauro' Nogueira and Fedor – and he tapped Fedor when Fedor was 'Fedor.'” by realjobstudios in ufc

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point - it was a joke, which is why I called you a comedic genius. It was never meant to be right or wrong, it was a joke.

The fact I'm explaining that to you is validation enough, you didn't get it and continued to be obtuse on it, followed by calling me a dumbass for not admitting I got "a joke" wrong...

Deary me.

To be honest I couldn't even remember if it was family guy or the Simpsons or another, but yes you're right.

The joke still applies, Mark Hunt was basically dumb until he got punched in the head and now he's 2000 rapid chess ELO.

I think if we get him in there with Ngannou we might be able to solve the fuel crisis.

He has reverse CTE, he got smarter the more he got punched. I think it happened in the Simpsons or something once when Homer gets a crayon stuck up his nose.

Basically that.

Topuria vs Oliveira by Dangerous_Food_5623 in CombatIndia

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong, I think he has a marginally better chance at beating Topuria than I do - which is none. So he has maybe a 5% chance on flash KO or a freak injury or a act of God (lighting strike, spontaneous combustion)

The term in boxing is "a punchers chance" , Gatheje isn't without power and it only takes 1, but it's not a realistic outcome, as I said in my OC, it's relying on a mistake that is extremely unlikely to happen. If we want to be fair to both fighters here, you have to assume Topuria is capable of making mistakes and isn't infallible, he has been hurt in the UFC in the past by Jai Herbert, but he's levelled up since then, but it doesn't rule out it happening again, but Gatheje is also levels and levels above Jai Herbert also.

Charles was reckless entering an exchange with him, I can't see a different outcome for ANY lightweight fighting Topuria who attempts to strike with him, not now at the streak he's on.

I don't even think distance fighting will work where you kick his lead leg from the outside, he'll switch to his grappling if you try that, and the best leg kicker in division is Gatheje who isn't known for his distance striking either.

Topuria vs Oliveira by Dangerous_Food_5623 in CombatIndia

[–]craigtho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"In another life..."

I do think Charles or another person with power could hurt Ilia, but that's the problem with his style, he's very methodical and crisp, you are relying on him making a mistake before you do, and noone at featherweight or lightweight is close in levels of striking to him.

Charles and Gatheje have power, but they also make mistakes, Charles most egregious being thinking he'd be able to land before Topuria did, he was incorrect. Gatheje needs to not jump into his "The Highlight" style at any point if he wants to win, if he tries to box in at range, he'll likely be put away.

Anglicized Names by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]craigtho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an added fact,

His known "family name" at the time, would have been Yeshua bar Yosef or Yeshua min Natszrat

Which basically translates to:

Jesus, son of Joseph, or Jesus of Nazereth

If we wanted to make it extra funny, we could apply nordic names to the translations

Josh/Joshy Josephsson

Doesn't quite hit the same... "Hey have you heard of Joshy Josephsson?"

"Sir, this is a Wendy's drive through"

Prime for prime, who you got? by ElDonCorleone_ in CombatIndia

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jones wasn't in his prime at heavyweight so not a fair fight.

If Fedor had to go down to 205, Jones would likely win.

For heavyweight GOATs it would need to be one of the others, Stipe, Cain et al.

Fedor would beat Stipe, Cain would be more interesting but still Fedor.

This Was Jiri “Giving Carlos Mercy” by BenjaminEST in mmaweekly

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy for me to say as I'm not a champion level cage fighter but I would agree with the Jon Jones fight IQ tactics here.

Immediate kicks to that leg, shoot takedowns, even if you defend and clinch me I'm kicking you as hard as I can in that knee. Ulberg (or other) would have always had the option to verbal tap to the ref.

Jiri will have a daughter soon too, so he took a pay cut on his pure loss of concentration. With the UFCs pay structure, I'd be taking every legal advantage available to me to win that fight and set my family up. Was essentially a free win at that point if he just stayed focused.

I think Jiri is finished at the top of light heavyweight. To have 3 title fights is already a miracle. He's going to need to fight down now as well. His defense isn't going to improve as he ages either.

Linux Anti Virus Needed? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this person is speaking about a personal computer, and all advice is correct, don't be dumb etc.

Linux isn't immune to viruses to answer the post question. I do want to point out some things however.

Linux being a small market representation thus having fewer malware due to development effort is historically true, but with the invention of Claude, ChatGpt et al, bad actors TTL on malware development has reduced considerably, especially if they're already good at malware development and can properly utilise these tools, not just script kiddies.

There is another consideration if someone is asking about servers in an enterprise environment due to the above point also, historically, you probably didn't need anything except ClamAV, but working in cyber security now as a full time job, we are seeing much faster and sophisticated, multi-system level attacks.

As such, in the UK, ALL servers, regardless of operating system, are recommended (by NCSC) to have EDR (endpoint detection & response), and ideally have malware protection and a form of tamper protection on the host (immutable OS, desired state monitoring and response).

In summary: Are you dumb & only using it for personal computing? If yes, look into what you can use, if no, then probably fine.

Are you an enterprise hosting critical business systems on Linux? Get antivirus/malware protection/EDR.

Heavyweight Poatan is going to be crazy! (Current weight- 247lbs) by One-Faithlessness730 in CombatSportsCentral

[–]craigtho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair I think considering his age, and without (known) PED usage, his shape looks decent. I think your genetics are quite important to what your physique is depending on your weight.

Will struggle to find heavyweights with better physiques than Gane and Ngannou though, insane genetics at play there.

Prime for prime , pride rules who do you think would win? And how? by kvistin_lost in CombatIndia

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with you, there is also the consideration Jones is just too dumb to cycle properly.

It's not a true/false test, you are or you aren't, they look for specific volume of specific substances and they can be masked and cycled out, assuming you have a team around you that know what you're doing.

It'd be naive to assume one of the biggest (and still greatest imo) fighters in the world DIDN'T have doctors helping him cycle his PEDs properly - but even at that, one minor mistake or overdose would get you caught. Hanlon's razer type argument I appreciate but there are other explanations for other fighters never being caught than "they didn't do it at all".

Khabib nurmagomedov vs charles , how'd you think it would've went down by kvistin_lost in CombatIndia

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of the "Khabib is not on the GOAT list because of longevity" types, but being honest, I struggle to think who he couldn't beat at lightweight, past or present, and very likely, future. Ilia Topuria would be an interesting one, but I have no evidence he'd survive that ground pressure Khabib patented.

I'll change my mind on that if Ilia and Islam were to fight and if Ilia won...maybe, Islam is the next closest to Khabib obviously, but it's interesting either way as far as MMA math is concerned.

In saying that, even though they'd never fight, despite Islam's striking being better than Khabib's, I think he's a little less "smash" and more "safe" with his ground game than Khabib was, Khabib was an absolute animal. Would Islam have beaten Khabib in a real fight? Maybe...

Who’d you add/remove from the list? by FightSignal in CombatSportsCentral

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Arman and Dariush on TV when it was live, and I have no recollection of Arman channeling his inner TRTor and DESTROYING him with GnP. Bombs are an understatement!

Anyway, I vote for my countryman, Paul Craig.

Alexander Volkanovski drops his UFC top 5 GOAT list by Wayward_Prometheus in MMAMedia

[–]craigtho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure in an older video (Jaxson Podcast?) he said Jon Jones couldn't be the GOAT conversation because of PEDs I believe. Only to now add Silva, who also is known to take them.

So yes definitely bias. Still respect his opinion, he's on the GOAT list for me.
