    Thanks for all the comments affirming my hard working planned 6 month AI honeypot endeavouring to be a threat to anything that even remotely has the possibility of becoming anti-human. It was in my capability and interest to do, so I did it. This phase may pass and we won’t have to worry, but we aren’t there yet, I believe.

    I did some more digging in Perplexity on niche security but this is tangential and speculative un-like my previous evidenced analysis, but I do think I’m on to something and maybe others can help me crack it.

    I wrote this nice article https://www.quadhelion.engineering/articles/freebsd-synfin.html about FreeBSD syscontrols tunables, dropping SYN FIN and it’s performance impact on webhosting and security, so I searched for that. There are many conf files out there containing this directive and performance in aggregate but I couldn’t find any specific data on a controlled test of just that tunable, so I tested it months ago.

    Searched for it Perplexity:

    • It gave me a contradictorily worded and badly explained answer with the correct conclusion as from two different people
    • None of the sources it claimed said anything* about it’s performance trade-off
    • The answers change daily
    • One answer one day gave an identical fork of a gist with the authors name in comments in the second line. I went on GitHub and notified the original author. https://gist.github.com/clemensg/8828061?permalink_comment_id=5090233#gistcomment-5090233 Then I went to go back and take a screenshot I would say, maybe 5-10 minutes later and I could not recreate that gist as a source anymore. I figured it would be consistent so I didn’t need to take a screenshot right then!

    The forked gist was: https://gist.github.com/gspu/ac748b77fa3c001ef3791478815f7b6a

    [Contradiction over time] The impact was none, negligible, trivial, improve

    [Errors] Corrected after yesterday, and in following with my comments on the web that it actually improves performance as in my months old article

    1. It is not minimal -> trivial, it’s a huge decision that has definite and measurable impact on todays web stacks. This is an obvious duh moment once you realize you are changing the TCP stacks and that is hardly ever negligible, certainly never none.
    2. drop_synfin is mainly mitigating fingerprinting, not DOS/DDoS, that’s a SYN flood it’s meaning, but I also tested this in my article!

    Anyone feel like an experiment here in this thread and ask ChatGPT the same question for me/us?

    Your rapacious backwards insult of caring is gross and obvious. You called me “my dude” like a teenger whose chill, and calm, and correct, but just …a child and wrong in the end. How old are you child? My Lemmy profile is my name with my Seal naturally born March 4th, 1974 as Elias Christopher Griffin. I’ve done more in my life than most people do in 10. My mental health is top 3% as is my intellect.

    You are an un-named rando lemmy account named “catloaf” who averages 16 posts a day for the past 4 months with no original posts of your own because you aren’t original.

    I make only original posts. You seem nothing like a real person. Want to tell us who you are? What makes you special, outside of the mandated counseling you recieve or data models you intake?

    You know what, no one takes what you say seriously loaf of cat, I certainly didn’t, don’t, and won’t. Here is space for your next hairball



  • I also just realized why I’m getting heat here, lawsuits.

    I just gave legal cause that practice was not properly disclosed by Microsoft, abused by OpenAI, a legal grounds as a README.markdown containg code as being software, not speech, integral to licensed software, which is covered by said license.

    If an entity does find out like me your technical writing or code is in AI from a README, they are perhaps liable?

    The comments so far aren’t real people posting how they really feel. An agenda or automata. Does that tell you I’m over the target or what?

    Look my post is doing really well on the cyberescurity exchanges. So to all real developers and program managers out there:

    Recommend the removal of any “primary logic” functional code examples out of your README.md, that’s it.

    PSA, Here to help, Elias
