Curtis weighs in on port security...
@scottalanmiller are we allowed to post
links now?Yeah, that was an MQ thing that doesn't exist any longer. No bashing, of course, but sending them traffic is fine.
Understood.

Good for a chuckle, I'm sure. I'm going to resist reading it myself.

For those out of date...
QoS was specified for telephony by the ITU in 1994.
Cisco SCCP (Skinny) was created in 1998.
This is like when Curtis told everyone he was "there" when the Internet was invented in 1998.
-
However, outside of telephony, in just TCP/IP terms, the first public QoS was introduced in RFC791 in September 1981, a full 17 years before Cisco SCCP.

I can never tell if he's trolling or serious. I think the general consensus is he's serious but I've been on the internet too long. He may just be an amazing troll

We did a reading of his interview live at MangoCon 1. It was one of the funniest things ever. Freaking hilarious.

I think both, honestly. He knows he's a huge ass, and he knows that he's lying. But he takes it so far that I can only imagine that he's truly insane and/or he's invoked the Jefferson Effect and has no idea of reality anymore because he's been lying about it for so long.

Sadly, no. It was insanely hilarious. One of these days maybe @Nic and I can do it all over again. Somewhere he has the longer version that was edited to make it not so embarrassing from what was originally sent in. I've never seen the truly embarrassing version and supposedly it is so much funnier.

@tonyshowoff thats where it was, yes.

There's a guy very similar to curtis in almost every way: asks questions, claims to know the answers already, and everyone is wrong, and not only that, but he's a total dickhead while doing it. I used to message people trying to help him to not bother. I wish I could remember his username, if it ever comes to me I'll post it here because he is weirdly rude out of nowhere.
Then there's other people who are just weirdly condescending for no reason, and just full of general idiocy trying to be masked as cleverness. Also these types of things are more common than they should be: ignoring the point, making some lame ass jokes about your abilities compared to their skyllz, and then accusing you of ignoring the point and acting like a moron.
Here's one example and I'm stressing the point in detail just because of how much of a braying jackass he is out of the gate: his biggest zing is repeatedly saying "no useful information" in response to, you guessed it, useful information, that or "no facts". It's baffling and confusing as it is stupid and immature. Not only that he didn't catch my point about Dunning-Kruger, that because he brought it up and thinks he's a genius by being condescending and rude like a mental patient, that it also applies to him as well: he thinks he's smarter than me, but he isn't, and I don't consider myself all that smart to begin with so he must be a real idiot.
How can I be sure he's not smarter than me? Because actual smart people don't feel the need to go around being condescending telling people they do not know, what information or skills they don't know or possess, what they can't do, and that they should stick to getting their A+ certs, and suggesting they're so damn skilled the other person was still in diapers while they were hacking the planet.
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/post/1691437Edit: I decided to remove his name, since it was about 7 years ago maybe he's less of a total dickhead now, but I really doubt it, we'll see if he ever shows up here and acts like a condescending moron and ignores my points, yet again. I was just talking about people who make idiotic assumptions about what you do and what you can do and it always shows them to be about as clever as a toilet seat. In case he does show up, I went to preemptively say that my post contains no useful information, no facts, and I'm still in diapers studying A+ while he's swinging his big CCNA around.
