well yeah.

@da_667 that's exactly where my mind went. These geniuses are publicly outing themselves as incompetent because normies just see it as flex.

More likely to act as a fuse under high voltage.

@da_667 I got into it with one manager who abused the term a time or two.

I wonder if that contributed to me getting curiously laid off? Oh well.

@da_667 Tell me you don't know what an air gap is without telling me you don't know what an air gap is...

*GLARE*

@da_667 "Everything was completely air-gapped, except where it wasn't."

[becomethewaifu@tech.lgbt]

@da_667 Or even just unplugging the proxy when they aren't actively updating... I've gotten very tired of the "move fast and break things" movement convincing everyone to do rolling releases that happen "whenever." (aside from actually urgent patches that can't wait till patch Tuesday of course, but those are usually a lot less relevant to airgapped machines...)

if it told them they were wasting their time. they'd call it a hallucination

@catsalad @da_667 a well designed lairgap will take you a long way, but you eventually have to open it up to lob missiles at the rest of the world.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@rotopenguin @catsalad looks like you found my rimworld base.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@rotopenguin @catsalad "what's with the hole in the roof" oh, that's for the artillery and mortars.

[technicaladept@techhub.social]

@da_667 Oh stories I can tell you about airgaps. Like the time I sent an email to Vodaphone. I needed an asset register for the customer's workgroup LAN. So I decided to email to my account at Demon Internet, which is what they called Vodaphone in those days. So I took a floppy from my pocket. Which was the style at the time. Now, to send an email required a separate computer with a modem, and in those days, modems were rated in KBd because that was short for Kilo Baud. Gimme 56 KBd, for dialup you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an floppy in my pocket, which was the style at the time. You couldn't 128 bit RC4, because of the export controls. The only thing you could get was those ol' crackable 40bit ones...

[catboycody@tech.lgbt]

@da_667 What happened to the good old sneaker network?

Now I wonder how many people think that wifi, bluetooth etc. is still an airgap...

[benhm3@mastodon.social]

@da_667

It is an airgap of the MIND.

Or:

It's an ALTERNATIVE airgap.

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@da_667 They must think "airgap" means Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet.

[tehfishman@ioc.exchange]

@da_667 the environment they are describing is actually an air-gape, where they do the goatse spread at their competitors and AI slop attacks spew forth from the OpenAI butthole logo.

[fritzadalis@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad @da_667
