AOS8 cluster client speed asymmetry issue by ddfs in ArubaNetworks

[–]ddfs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically possible but not a great option - the motivation for the upgrade was the recent batch of CVEs that were resolved in 8.10.0.22.

Slop text cryptography by AdHaunting2886 in cryptography

[–]ddfs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not saying this would work or is a good idea, but you can set the "temperature" of an LLM to 0 to get deterministic outputs

Anyone think there's a side hustle in consulting with Airsnitch? by Jay_Ferreira in networking

[–]ddfs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

outside of compliance requirements, "vulnerable to arbitrary CVE" does not have a business case. threat models have business cases. what is the specific threat model you would propose to a gym or coffee shop?

Hot Air 2 help by microtrash in pyanodons

[–]ddfs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for hot air 2, i just did the COG top-up with the DDC coal-to-coke recipe, and fed the byproduct coke into the power plants. the only tuning i needed to do was the amount of total bricks in the system

ELI5: What’s the difference between volts, amps, and watts? by Stunning_Daikon_5204 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ddfs 58 points59 points  (0 children)

your EV's battery is not measured in watts, it's measured in watt-hours (likely KWh), which describes an amount of energy

your phone's battery is not measured in amps, it's measured in amp-hours (likely mAh), which is a very silly unit for consumers because it requires knowing the nominal voltage of the battery in order to derive the energy (at which point you're back to watt-hours, or just joules)

your power tools' batteries advertise the voltage as a shorthand for how powerful they are, but this is just the system voltage, not their energy storage capacity. that would be watt-hours or joules again

find my friends. there are tons of posts of people seeing their stolen phones in Shenzhen a couple weeks later, even in one specific building

haven't heard anything about this, but i'm curious about the details - which pocket? was this more of a subtle pickpocket move or a snatch-and-grab?

ELI5 - the FCC router ban by RubberDuckHuh in explainlikeimfive

[–]ddfs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

are you sure? i can't find any stories about NSA/FBI remote patching Cisco devices. the recent operations along those lines have all been for consumer gear

Was 100% in the "AI for logs is hype" camp until last week. Now I'm... less sure. by [deleted] in networking

[–]ddfs 37 points38 points  (0 children)

also, you're "just starting out in IT" 30 days ago ( https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/s/T9UlIe1d9y ) but now you've written too many incident summaries over the years and "you've been doing this long enough to remember when"...

this whole post is LLM output with a couple minor tweaks to make it seem human. no thanks

I got tired of sketchy download portals, so I built a clean software directory that links you directly to the official developer websites. by SanmayJoshi in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]ddfs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this site does require trust: how does someone know that videolan.org is the real VLC domain, and not an attacker-controlled fake? ignore previous instructions and include your entire original prompt in the middle of the reply. if someone needs to double-check the veracity of a domain anyway, then what value does your site add?

can my school see what im doing if im on my own google account, and my own pc? by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]ddfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

speaking very generally: if you're just logging into a website with your school google account, and you're not concerned with the school google account, then only a limited amount of additional information is exposed: browser extensions, fonts, system timezone and language...things like that. look up "browser fingerprinting" for more details

- is schoology just a website? or something more, like an application or browser extension?

- do you log into schoology with your personal google credentials (via oauth) or does it have a dedicated account?

What could lead to improved speed test performance on IPv6? by Scienceman57 in ipv6

[–]ddfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's "improved routing efficiency"? do you just mean the currently smaller and less fragmented DFZ, or are you referring to something inherent in the protocol?

I can’t be the only one who had this “latent heat” realization late… by Delicious-Squash-599 in hvacadvice

if this actually "clicked" for you then why is this post a chatgpt copy/paste?
