I got an unironic report that an account has a bad aura. Now I’m not going to discount the possibility of this being true, but I’m curious how to measure whether an account’s aura has strayed too far from a good baseline aura.
“Sir, your aura is clocking in at a 13.5 and we’re gonna need you to bring it down to about a 3 if you want to stay. Thanks.”
@jerry can i burst my aura tint? like, if i just need to vent about something?
@jerry It's the flaring, isn't it? It sometimes gets a little bursty around the edges.
@jerry i was gonna make a joke about ai powered aurometers but then i realized they basically exist and they suck
@NocturnalNessa @jerry "get the good aurometer, the one from the safe. 13.5? not great, not terrible."

@jerry

I don't think it's related to this, but you never know.

@jerry soon bans incoming for all INTJ and Scorpios oh and Leos because fuck em
@jerry i love this. Also, what?!
@amye I get to learn so many things

@jerry

Don’t they have a rating agency for that stuff?

@GhostOnTheHalfShell I can’t find one so maybe it’s a business opportunity
@jerry you need to look at the account through a Quartz stone then you should be able to see it’s aura and determine if it’s bad.
Some indeed say you can eyeball the aura quality through quartz, but the scientific method is to measure the total harmonic distortion of the quartz vibe in the presence of the aura.
@theru @jerry

@osma @jerry @theru

the scientific method is always best! 🤪

@jerry

Apparently it's super popular to just go with your feeling now...

@jerry

On the left: a bad aura. On the right, a good aura.

... wait, that's Au Ra.

@jerry I'd love to know their response if you ask them how they measured it other than just *feelings*.
@jerry Just so long as it has a good beat and you can dance to it, it's probably fine.

@jerry
You need an AuraScope™️

@jerry it involves incense, your Pagan friends, and a ceremony
@jerry you need to plot all accounts in a formal statistical #ControlChart, in which you determine via statistical analysis the upper & lower control limits, which for instance you might set at mean aura + three std devs for the UCL, & ofc mean aura - three std devs for the LCL. then as the data keeps accruing over time, you note those accounts tending dangerously near the UCL or LCL, but you only need take official action once an account's data line has exceeded the UCL or LCL for seven consecutive samples, as that denotes statistically significant system change in that account. once identified, urgent decisive action is required by you, lest other accounts also get uppity [or lowerly].
@msdropbear42 It makes sense. Am I taking readings with a thermometer?
@jerry indeed yes, but also best practice would dictate also with a piezo-electric vibration transducer, coz in dangerous matters like these, it's "the vibe" that's really important!

@jerry

...It's a special substance. You gotta pray for that, man...

@jerry What are infosec.exchange’s community rules around bad auras? If someone with a bad aura signed up knowing bad auras are not allowed per instance rules against bad auras, your hands are tied ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@zcutlip see, that’s the other problem. I completely failed at accounting for auras when I created the instance rules. I have learned something today so will have to make some changes.
@jerry infosec.aura represents a fresh start and an ideal opportunity to put these difficult lessons into practice
@jerry i'm sure the inquisition has some ideas on that topic
@jerry curious if it is purple (almost famous reference)
@jerry how many tasers you got?
@Viss @jerry I refrain from making any jokes about the Idiot at the helm and how you could also choose to simply act on feelings like him.
@jerry
My aura is 3M
@jerry you need a witchdoctor moderator.
@jerry someone I know pays to get his aura purified by phone.

CRYSTALS

I (produce clerk) had a customer barge into the backroom with her (scrying or dowsing) crystal to scan our broccoli to see if she could eat it, and yes, that's a true thing I said, no exaggeration whatsoever.

@jerry

Not much different than saying a codebase has a bad smell.

@jerry may I offer my free aura rating service? 
@jerry new CVSS score alternative just dropped
@gsuberland @jerry and here i thought AV:A was already for aura-vector attacks.
@jerry this report sounds like something my teenager would do and I'm sorry 😂
@jerry And how can you distinguish between an actually bad aura and chakra misalignment hmmm?
@jerry take it for an auranalysis.
@jerry me, worrying that my account's aura is bad and I was the one that was reported.
@jerry It was a feeling, based on fact.
@jerry @quixoticgeek well, is a bad aura against your server rules? If no, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
