From a quick look both DH and F2B use only local data and nothing is shared where CS has
>"and if you allow it, sent to us for curation, before being shared in the community to protect everyone.".
Now I can't find where they are shared to but I also didn't dig deep but it would seem that attack issues might be stopped quicker across multiple site attacks than everybody on their own.

This looks interesting, esp in use with SocNet's.
GitHub crowdsecurity/crowdsec: CrowdSec
https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec
>Crowdsec is an open-source, lightweight software, detecting peers with aggressive behaviors to prevent them from accessing your systems. Its user friendly design and assistance offers a low technical barrier of entry and nevertheless a high security gain.
>
>Processing is done in 5 steps:
>
> Read Data sources (log files, streams, trails, messages ...), normalize and enrich signals
> Matching those signals to behavior patterns, aka scenarios (*)
> If an unwanted behavior is detected, deal with it through a bouncer : a software component integrated into your applicative stack that supports various remediations such as block, return 403, and soon captcha, 2FA, etc.
> (ONLY) The aggressive IP, the scenario name triggered and a timestamp is then sent to our curation platform (to avoid poisoning & false positives)
> If verified, this IP is then integrated to the block list continuously distributed to all CrowdSec clients (which is used as an enrichment source in step1)
>
>By detecting, blocking & sharing the threat they faced, all clients are reinforcing each-others (hence the name Crowd-Security). Crowdsec is designed for modern infrastructures, with its "Detect Here, Remedy There" approach, letting you analyse logs coming from several sources in one place and block threats at various levels (applicative, system, infrastructural) of your stack.

>(*) CrowdSec ships by default with scenario (brute force, port scan, web scan, etc.) adapted for most context, but you can easily extend it by picking more of them from the hub. It is also very easy to adapt an existing one or create one yourself. -

>Would you recommend not learning on the fly?
That would very much depend on the person and how they learn.
In the pre-internet days I taught myself from books and doing, now it is the internet and doing. Most of my programming knowledge has been self taught either from books or getting snippets that are close to what I want and then modifying them to fit what I need.
Some people need classes, direction and someone to ask if they have a problem, I can usually figure it out on my own or on the internet.
The main problem I have with many of the programing classes that I have taken is they rely on a common formula of teaching me stuff I will likely not use or use very little but they need to be complete learning. I don't need to know 50 different ways to show a number, I just want to show the number.
One of the first things I had to learn for this project was PHP sessions and using bcrypt module for hashing and checking passwords and how to set a session timeout. It took me all of about 15 minutes to get something functional and 30 minutes to make it look pretty. I can only guess in a class situation this might be in [check site] an advanced class.
In the end, if you learn best by doing, then maybe learning on the fly will work. -

Having been through something similar in the very distant past (auto department of store closed while store stayed open), most floor employees will be let go while some will stay on for things involving the closing, returning items to vendors/customers, etc. then they will be let go as well.

>The message says in part,
>
> “After nearly 36 years in business as the one-stop-shop and online resource for high-tech professionals across nine states and 31 stores, Fry’s Electronics, Inc. (“Fry’s” or “Company”), has made the difficult decision to shut down its operations and close its business permanently as a result of changes in the retail industry and the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company will implement the shut down through an orderly wind down process that it believes will be in the best interests of the Company, its creditors, and other stakeholders.
>
> The Company ceased regular operations and began the wind-down process on February 24, 2021. It is hoped that undertaking the wind-down through this orderly process will reduce costs, avoid additional liabilities, minimize the impact on our customers, vendors, landlords and associates, and maximize the value of the Company’s assets for its creditors and other stakeholders.”

That gets old real quick, guessing no OT due to salary pay?
At one point in my past, management got tired of hearing about being "short-handed" so we started calling it being "T-Rexed", not sure if they ever figured it out.
