I refuse to believe that RAM prices up 400% in a quarter is some market fluctuation. This is a supply-chain heist.
Every bit of hate directed at AI companies is justified and possibly, milder than it should be. It ought to be 100x more.
Every extra dollar you spend on a simple DDR5 kit is a direct subsidy for a tech-bubble. So a bunch of crybabies sitting in silicon valley can push out a hallucinating machine, scam some more VCs, help create the biggest unemployment hysteria in modern history, give multi-millionaire CEOs an excuse to lay off hard-working employees?
Burn it all down.

@selzero Is that a non-edited, REAL version of that slide?
Fesshole 🧻Went on a business trip to Scotland a while ago. When I got there I called my wife from the hotel room to ask her if Orinj, our cat, was missing. She said yes & our daughter is looking for her. I said don't bother, here's here in Scotland with me. The dumbarse got into my bag.
@dazo Thanks! For me, the process itself becomes a bit of an anchor. Run the plays...trust the tools...the calm follows the routine, mostly!
@drscriptt Cheers!
Don't get me wrong, netstat's a legend, for sure and got many of us through the trenches. For ss, it's mainly that it tends to be a bit lighter on its feet on busy systems (being kernel-side via netlink) and often gives the info more directly, sometimes saving an awk or grep dance.
That being said, at the end of the day, if your trusty toolkit gets the job done, that's what matters!
@mkj Yes, /var/spool/cron and especially those atjobs are classic hideouts. Good shout!
mkj@phoenixx You might well have that in your list already, but I would include also /var/spool/cron (particularly /var/spool/cron/atjobs) in the list of directories to check for signs of persistence.

@johntimaeus Absolutely! Honoured it could serve as a good exercise. If it encourages more students to get their hands dirty with the fundamentals, that's fantastic. All the best with the class!
@cybervegan You're spot on. IIRC, ss is like netstat's leaner, meaner cousin from the iproute2 suite.
Parsing /proc manually? That is proper old-school dedication, especially on a stripped Slackware box! Built character, I bet. Root cause traced back to that build script, yeah. Seemed it got enhanced with some uninvited features. Always the way, isn't it?
