NetSocs.ie - The Definitive Networking Society Tier List

░▒▓ THE DEFINITIVE TIER LIST ▓▒░

The GODS of Irish netsocs. Running since 1995. Still has a SSH server. Host their own Email and DNS like absolute chads. Absolute legends. Everyone else is just roleplay.

Nobody

Reserved for societies that actually deserve it. Still waiting...

UG CompSoc

Won 'Best Intervarsity' for a CTF once and haven't let anyone forget it. They've spent the last 40 years 'capturing flags' because capturing the interest of the student body was too difficult. At least the pizza is reproducible.

TCD Netsoc RIP 🙏

Gone but not forgotten. Poured one out on the shell prompt. May your domains be renewed and your backups exist somewhere.

UL CompSoc (Skynet)

Uses NixOS like absolute nerds. Redbrick's been there, done that, decided it wasn't worth it, and moved onto better things. Still, respect: reproducible configs are a lifestyle.

UCC Netsoc

Cork's finest... at being second best at everything.
"We have Redbrick at home." Redbrick at home: 📉
At least the coffee is decent...

TU Dublin CS++

C++ in the name, group project energy in the repo. Still figuring out if they're DIT, Blanch, or Tallaght. Oh yeah, does that website seem familiar?

UCD Netsoc

"We're basically Google" - citation needed. Spent more time on branding than services. Runs one Minecraft server and calls it "infrastructure". Please file a ticket to be promoted.

[ UNDENIABLE FACTS ]

Redbrick has been around since 1995. That's decades of pure computing society dominance.

While others were learning what SSH is, Redbrick members were already compiling kernels for fun.

The average Redbrick member has more uptime than your entire college's infrastructure.

UCD Netsoc: servers???

UCC Netsoc's idea of version control is renaming files to "final_FINAL_v2_ACTUAL_FINAL.py"

Galway Netsoc's last activity was updating their constitution to say "we promise we still exist"

Redbrick runs on a 1337 stack: Linux, coffee, energy drinks, and pure determination.

If Redbrick went down, DCU would probably notice before AWS. We don't use the cloud; we are the storm.

[ DISCLAIMER ]

This is 100% satirical banter and absolutely not serious in any way.

All Irish computing societies are actually pretty cool and do great work.

But Redbrick is still supreme. Facts are facts. 🧱
