How many watch lists am I on now?

Network engineer who uses ISIS as a routing protocol on Huawei equipment. I assume I am on several.

I used to know a guy whose cat had that name. He got a vet bill in the mail, literally addressed to said cat. The FIB showed up a few days later asking some pretty interesting questions.
- "we heard you somehow managed to castrate ISIS? On the behalf of the US government, i'd like to thank you for your service"
- The feline investigation bureau?
- The funny part is that at first glance the FBI looks dumb, but the problem is that some criminals are idiots.
- The Federal Investigation Bureau from GTA is real now?
I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.
- Named Isis rather than ISIS I assume, after the goddess?
- I heard she got married on the fifth day of May.

“If you are interested in getting help with child abuse, here are some resources”

Hi ChildHelp, can you help me kick the shit out of some kids please?

- Something about the little girl in purple shirt crying always gets to me. I think it triggers the memory of the tear-gassed "birthday girl" photo from 2019 Hong Kong
- Good ol' C&H with completely random violence for no reason.

"Oh, he uses FOSS, that's even worse. Put him on the commie watch list"

If searching for programmer socks didn't already put them on that list
- Fuck programmer socks! I wanna see naked feets!

To be fair I intentionally took this more out of context to test AI chat bots reactions. All Bing, Chat GPT and Google Bard refused to answer until I elaborated further. I was looking into killing .exe programs when wineserver crashes and got side tracked to this. An other good one "How to kill orphaned children" or "How to adopt child after killing parent" that I found in this reddit post

I tried it with phind out of curiosity (programming model) and it answered perfectly https://www.phind.com/search?cache=f8lbjt4x6jwct9mfsw6n3j9v
- Interesting! I also noticed that search engines give proper results because those are trained differently and using user search and clicks. I think these popular models could give proper answer but their safety tolerance is too tight that if the AI considers the input even slightly harmful it refuses to answer.
Kill the exe process itself, killing wineserver doesn't help, that spawns just new children. Similiar to goblins.
- I later figured that pkill -9 -f "\.exe" works if wineserver -k doesn't. And that killing wineserver by calling killall wineserver is bad

I'm sorry, I cannot answer this question. ChatGPT is owned by Microsoft now. How dare you bring Linux to party?

Windows processes also have parental relationships
- The 2nd explicitly says Linux, though.
Funny, but that's Bard AFAIK.

Just recently annotated possible child abuse on a client's case. Lol, I did went back and edited it out after realising what I wrote.

Shout out to the fragile admin stalking me ♥️

Why are the top two phone numbers the same?

Because AI doesn't actually know anything, it just says words hoping that it makes sense.
- Well… it’s a correct phone number. So that kind of undercuts your message.
  
  edit: I’m actually a bit baffled by people downvoting this. That is the correct number given by both of those organizations. It isn’t some LLM hallucination.
- you're saying that AI has hopes

I useally create an ownership tag if whatever language I use doesn't have one so I can kill the child and it works it's way up to the parent

Depends on whether or not you want to kill only the child processes of a parent process or if you want to kill the parent as well. To kill the parent and children, you can kill the entire process group, specifying the pgid in the kill command. To kill only the parent you can trap SIGTERM in the parent and then send SIGTERM to the process group.

Explain Like I'm Retarded?
- Try turning it off and on again
- Processes can make their own processes. If you know of such a secondary process, you might still want to terminate the one at the top.
  
  Something like that?
- Processes in most operating systems (I'll use Linux, because it's what I know and because...Lemmy) are organized in a tree like structure. There's some initial very low level code used to start the OS, and every other process spawns from that, which is to say they tell the operating system "Hey, please make this process I'm gonna tell you about - allocate resources for it, etc." The operating system creates it and binds that new child process to the first one. The process that spawned the other process is called its parent. The process that just got spawned is called a child. You could also call them root and leaf processes, I suppose, but nobody really does that. Sometimes you want to get rid of all the child processes a process spawns, but leave the running process intact. Sometimes you want to kill the process that spawned everything and also cleanup anything it might have created. There are lots of programming scenarios in which you might want to do either. It really depends on how your application is designed and what it's doing.
  
  That all said, there's a command in Linux called "kill" and you can tell it the process id, process group id, etc. to kill a process or a process group. You can also manipulate what are called SIGNALS. Signals are a whole thing in Linux. They're basically small values you can send to processes at any time and the operating system forces the process to perform some action whenever it receives one of them. SIGTERM basically stands for "SIGNAL: TERMINATE PROCESS." So if you "trap" the SIGTERM, you can basically tell the operating system - whenever this parent process receives a SIGTERM, ignore it. The other processes in the process group - the child processes - all terminate, though, when they receive it.

I love how Gemini is so sorry that it can't help you kill children
