Resistant, but not guaranteed. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to encryption.
- Comment on Quantum Attacks on encryption will probably be feasible by 2030 3 days ago:
This is a great talk, but it’s ignoring the real issue in that it would need to be “on-line”, which is not anywhere near possible. They sort of address that, but are talking about the cyphers themselves mostly.
I think we’ve reached the cusp where we can exchange new derivative keys on the fly per request without making too much of a dent in speed, but that comes with all kinds of tradeoffs on session length and convenience I suppose.
- Comment on Could the internet go offline? Inside the fragile system holding the modern world together 4 days ago:
You seem to think the entire world is connected by fiber now. Not the case. 98% of long distance cable runs across the world are still air run copper. That won’t immediately impact high dollar facilities like datacenters or undersea cables that are interconnected, but everything else it will take a hit.
- Comment on Could the internet go offline? Inside the fragile system holding the modern world together 4 days ago:
The only thing that could take the entirety of the Internet for a bit of time is a massive EMF event that damages enough infrastructure to disable point-to-point communication between nodes. This means something like a Coronal Mass Ejection so large it cooks all satellites on its way in (on one side of orbit at least), then toasts a lot of other protected hardware on the ground.
The P2P nature of the internet would be hard to kill in totality with one event in any sense of the word. At the the very least, it would quick to get local infrastructure up within hours, assuming the entire DNS system isn’t destroyed.

- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 6 days ago:
You are not reading or understanding comments, child. That’s not what I said whatsoever.
You’re of the opinion that DevOps engineers can be automated away. I proved you wrong. Now you’re talking about the tooling, which is in my first comment to you. Automated tooling is NOT all DevOps is, and the fact you think shows me you’re unseasoned in whatever it is you do, have no concept of the role.
It would be people like you who would not pass the first round of interviews from answering a question about this topic exactly as you’ve stated, because you don’t understand the core function of the team, and you’re role in it.
You make some code, and obviously have no idea how to run it, let alone at scale. All the working pieces of a platform at large need to be understood and vetted by a DevOps team in order to make it run, and run well. That’s understanding everything from start to finish, in ways you wouldn’t be able to comprehend being one part of team that is building one part of a platform. You can’t make an agent that understands all the underpinnings of all the services or metrics, and why they fail, that then takes action on them, because it’s not something AI does. Case in point, the AWS outage and others I mentioned.
Now, you could make MANY agents that take actions on many things, but that doesn’t give situational awareness or comprehension to any singular agent, something AI also doesn’t do. That’s what DevOps teams do.
I don’t even need to keep arguing with you about this, because the down votes on your comments speak for themselves. I’m just trying to educate on your false understanding about how it all works so you don’t stumble through your career making the same comments and mistakes.

Been running Ops teams for decades, kid. Look at alllll the people agreeing with me, and disagreeing with you. You have the unearned wisdom of a struggling Junior Dev. If you had any experience, you’d know how embarrassing it would be to attempt to brag about working for “multi-billion dollar companies” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, those big, big companies are where ALL the good engineering jobs are at. Where all the interesting work is being done 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My GAWD, child. W O W 🤦

- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 1 week ago:
🤣
Okay bud, go and tell AWS, Google, Salesforce, and any other of these companies who think “AI” is an answer to everything, because they’ve all had very public outages due to this exact same thing in the past few months.
You have no idea what DevOps is or how it works if you think any of this is easily done or solved with these junk tools.
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 1 week ago:
No, it actually hasn’t. It’s also not any better than any other battery tech out there right now. Longer term but less volume storage is a trade off.
What happened to these Graphene batteries and capacitors we were supposed to have by now?
- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 1 week ago:
…noooooo, it most definitely isn’t.
While the job does deal heavily in automating things, it only automated Boolean things. Looking at a platform and seeing why and where it’s failing is not a Boolean thing, and never will be. It’s the same reason we still don’t have machines that repair cars over 100 years after their introduction.

DevOps cannot be automated away. So stupid.

- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 3 weeks ago:
Intel was one of the funding corporations for that initial APM codec work, so that’s not shocking at all.
- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, that’s how the codec game works. Most people or software don’t adopt until after the successor is in place. It’s more about the software side lagging to adopt though. Nvidia just got AV1 into their hardware processing pipeline in the last 2 years. I think AMD is even more recent than that.

- Comment on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks 4 weeks ago:
I’m going to call semi-bullshit here, or there is a major revisionist version or catch. If this were true, they’d be STUPID to not be working fast as hell to get full, unlocked Linux support up streamed and start selling this as a datacenter competitor to what Amazon, Microsoft, and Amazon are offering, because it would a entirely new class of performance. It could also dig into Nvidia and AMDs datacenter sales at scale of this efficient.
- Comment on Qualcomm unveil the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, the fastest and most efficient processors for Windows PCs 5 weeks ago:
Uhhhh, not sure what you mean about Linux and ARM. That’s very much a thing.
Windows is a different story because cross-compilation with the OS libs and utils is necessary, and Microsoft does not push that.
Running everything in compat mode with translators is kind of defeating the purpose. The way this gets more adoption is Qualcomm OPENING THE FUCKING INTERFACES TO EVERYONE, which they are notoriously against doing. They want everyone to pay a license for fucking everything. So stupid.

- Comment on Proxmox Backup Server VM crashes take down host - any idea why? 5 weeks ago:
You need logs, but I’m certain your OOMKilling the host. Pay less attention to what the VM is doing, and more to what the host is doing. Passing that amount of data through a VM on a host with only 4GB of RAM sounds like it’s destined to fail. Put a hard limit on the memory the VM can use and see if that helps, but I just don’t think you have the resources to manage this in the way you’re attempting.
A better question is: if you’re only running PBS on this machine, why is it in a VM?
