In an alternate timeline, The Sea Peoples are Romans sailing to England, the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans. Things became fuzzy when the English themselves became other civilization's Sea Peoples.

Seems to be a popular topic.

Historian Eric H. Cline has multiple books citing this time period, specifically 1117 BCE as the inflection point for the bronze age "collapse", defined by a deterioration of international shipping routes that weakened the nation-states of the era. I've learned about it recently because YouTube began recommending videos about it.

For example: https://youtu.be/choxcHXhZhE?is=t5lDwQQpqPsE2k5M

One historical event that Cline focuses on is a severe centuries-long drought. It's something the ACOUP article seems to omit. Cline does not focus as much on destruction of bronze-age sites although there is one port city in particular which is linked to the international trade of the time. Exactly who destroyed it appears to be a mystery but it could be linked to the migration theory that ACOUP dismisses. The migration may have actually come as a result of the previously mentioned drought.

For a video to _literally_ maximally drive a target brain region there would be fatal consequences - e.g. the plot of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest (1996).

>Many though have a policy of minimising Excel and rolling out formal platforms whether in-house or off the shelf, as Excel is regarded as a ongoing risk of in-accuracy as full editable at all times, lack of git/version control and so on.

Can confirm this practice in place at fortune 50 financial institutions. One in particular calls it "End-User Computing System Risk", meaning the end user created a business-critical "system" (i.e., a complex Excel file or Access database) on their own computer.

I wanna know if these techniques would be useful for Emperor: Battle for Dune (2001). It's the first 3D RTS by Westwood Studios, predating C&C Generals by just a couple years. It's popularity was hampered by intellectual property disputes and a introduction of a new faction that diverged from the book series lore. The gameplay, soundtrack, and campaign missions were awesome.

> I doubt that these 750,000 roles exist in the first place or that these companies offer salaries high enough to motivate workers to fill these roles.

>You're likely to attain more worthwhile knowledge by purchasing a second-hand wireless router, dumping the firmware, and finding a null-pointer dereference bug.

Let's keep in mind that a lot of these cybersecurity roles are for people who are meant to be cogs in a machine. Certifications can be useful for people who are new to the field, but for the jobs that require them, they're more like a screening tool than anything else. Unfortunately it means the tests are on the certification material and not the current reality. It's a pain when you know better, but likely better than a company being staffed with workers who don't know how to pass an exam.

It is impossible for open source software to be more elitist than proprietary software, especially if that open source software is distributed under a copyleft license.

I would like to see the configuration for SR-IOV. So far my experience has been that IncusOS is very rigid in it's configuration (in a good way!). I expect it's feasible to do with just Incus running on a general purpose Linux distribution like Debian with a recent kernel.

I've recently migrated to Incus and am enjoying it so far. Hopefully the good feelings last.

Roughly ten years ago, my homelab consisted of a dozen virtual machines running on SmartOS. I was not familiar with Illumos, and this was before it had a widely available web UI, but it was simple enough to use that these challenges didn't matter much. SmartOS was designed to boot reliably from USB flash storage, allowed me to use all my SATA ports for VM storage, and was my first "immutable" operating system. The primary focus on ZFS storage was another great quality of SmartOS.

Two moves and several years later, it was time to rebuild the lab, and I decided to go with Proxmox because it had decent ZFS support. Experience with Proxmox has been very good too. The GUI, many more virtualization features (in addition to the key ones I care about), and better hardware support through the Linux kernel have kept me on Proxmox for a long time.

Customizing my Proxmox installation always gave me anxiety. How could I defend my hypervisor from configuration drift? I wished there could be an immutable version of Proxmox.

Later on, I learned about govulcheck, which offers a novel dynamic/static analysis hybrid approach to vulnerability management. Nothing else out there does this (without teaming up with some huge company). I began to think that I should favor software solutions based on golang.

Ultimately, Incus (and IncusOS) fit this need very well. My IncusOS hosts excellent and I'm glad I can run Incus itself on most Linux distros - including NixOS!

I'll keep a small Proxmox host around for experimenting with new kernel features (Intel GVT-g / SR-IOV graphics) and old operating systems like Windows XP or anything else that needs special QEMU options.

Seems like a made-up distinction that shouldn't be necessary since M6 has not even released. I suspect this is a marketing ploy to meant to drive up both interest while also increasing prices for the next generation of Mac hardware.

I know very little about AI and game mechanics, but knowing how early Fromsoft games were (e.g., Kingsfield), a basic AI in Elden Ring is very unsurprising. That's not necessarily a bad thing!

My vote for "high tech game AI" would probably be this old mod for Fallout 4:

>PANPC (Pack Attack NPC Edition) is a unique scripted AI management system for Fallout 4. Rather than treating each enemy as an individual proximity-based reaction agent (basically, a mine with a gun), this system generates social feedback between NPCs belonging to the same or allied factions.

>Enemies factor the overhaul health and success of their “team” into their tactical decisions, adjusting their strategies based on their social and threat awareness. As a result, they will switch between ranged, melee, defensive, and offensive tactics based on their perceptions of team advantage and individual risk.

Awesome work! Overall this is a big win for IT at this org.

>The real gain is that my virtualization layer became text: versioned in Git, watched by an open-source stack I built alongside it, backed up with immutable snapshots that are my first line of defense against ransomware, and above all legible to my tools, including my AI agent.

All of that can be done on Windows Server today with PowerShell tho.

IMHO, the real benefits of Proxmox over Hyper-V are:

1. Access to special hardware features via the Linux kernel, like GVT-g and SR-IOV for graphics acceleration.

2. Much better support for network configuration, monitoring, and packet capture.

2. ZFS

But there are some real reasons to continue with Hyper-V too, like:

1. Better support for Sleep / Wake-on-LAN if you wanted to save power with unused hypervisor capacity.

2. Running and developing for Windows containers.

3. The org has a VDI or remote desktop gateway that leverages Hyper-V's VMConnect protocol.
