[narrow sail]

Case in point, Reign of Nether.

[strong phoenix]

Isn't that a hoi4 mod

[narrow sail]

give me a moment-

But no, it is not.

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/reign-of-nether-rts-in-minecraft

You can swap between RTS mode and First Person as well.

[placid path]

I mean, Minecraft can be whatever you want, it's a sandbox

It can even be Doom, so...

[tawny arch]

What's that really old mod about managing your society was?

[narrow sail]

Colony Management is also not out of the question, considering the old as hell Millenaire mod.

[tawny arch]

Yeah, that

[narrow sail]

And also MineColonies for a more contemporary example.

Dungeon Crawling... yeah that's a bit of an issue.

[strong phoenix]

I just don't know why you'd bend over backwards to make it work in Minecraft instead of going ground up in your own system

[placid path]

Minecolonies' addition to ATM10 is pissing me off a lil bit, there is so much "treasure" tied to it in chests, it's polluting the pools quick af

[narrow sail]

oof-

[narrow sail]

Alternatively, fangame.

[limber latch]

do you know what else is polluting the pools quick af?

[desert salmon]

water pollution

[narrow sail]

Set in an alternate timeline where the Heart of Ender utterly mopped the floor with the heroes.

[limber latch]

kids that don't go to the bathroom before swimming

[desert salmon]

what is this supposed to mean

[dire pebble]

i think if necromancers were shamed instead of banned, it would create a very different theme for them

"dude you just brought a guy back to life for him to die in like five seconds again. that's just messed up man. wtf is wrong with you."

[tawny arch]

It's Not Enough Items, not Just Enough Items

[celest reef]

he dont mind, hes already dead

[desert salmon]

yes but like. dont they do the exact same thing

[tawny arch]

Other than that I have no clue what exactly is bothering you

Yeah, I think so

NEI is just older

[desert salmon]

Why is JEI presumably not used frequently

[tawny arch]

Where's that screenshot from btw?

For more context

Like mod's page or in-game

[desert salmon]

GTNH loading tip

[tawny arch]

Oh, it's just probably specifying that the modpack uses NEI instead of JEI, and that you should search crafts and favorite items often

Nothing in particular against JEI by itself

[narrow sail]

Basically, shit's gone to fuck and the heroes are dead.

An unlikely hero (i.e you) gets resurrected by a long dormant lich and as their new student, your job is to unfuck things with an army of the undead.

[tawny arch]

Why can't the lazy bastard do it themselves

Or is it like Overlord

[narrow sail]

They... kinda spent the last bit of their power resurrecting your ass.

[tawny arch]

I thought I downloaded a cozy modpack
What the hell is this

[urban wharf]

Corrupted by missing texture

[tawny arch]

Hah, that too lol

[dusky igloo]

this will be magic the gathering in 2025

[narrow sail]

Playing some Doom because quite frankly, I ain't got much else to do.

[desert salmon]

We have to use ai for this class assignment

(teacher hates it just as much as we do, she's required to require us to\

It's just not working at all lol

[tawny arch]

How come something just requires AI to do it?

[dusky igloo]

dipshit falling for the "ai is the future" line and trying to prepare kids for it

[tawny arch]

Unrelated, but this is my first time encountering an infected village in all my years of mining and also crafting

[desert salmon]

state fucking law apparently

[tawny arch]

Sounds sad

[desert salmon]

She has to teach a lesson using ai for. some reason

[dusky igloo]

even better

[desert salmon]

i thought you were supposed to be good at lying

[tawny arch]

What'd it say

[desert salmon]

Literally just not giving a response after like 30 minutes

[tawny arch]

Oh lmao

That's like worse

[desert salmon]

ive downloaded 1.8gb games faster than this

[tawny arch]

WHY IS THE RESPONSE 1.8 GIGS

[desert salmon]

This one downloads the whole thing and runs it locally i think

[rigid sedge]

hello guys

[tawny arch]

Hi

[desert salmon]

gmrrrgh i have yet to get ove this

[tawny arch]

One of the fellas in our group had AI just give up working on his file after 3 tries, and told him to fix it himself in the end

Also, might be related to that. Same AI told him that being a "dipshit" is nothing to worry about and is normal thing

[rigid sedge]

xd

thats a good ai xd

thats like the temu version of chat gpt

[rigid niche]

An random skyrim house dlc lets me have an new playstyle, i raise bosses as zombies, necroheal them, buff them with courage, watch it solo another boss, raise the second boss as my zombie=profit. Now i no longer had to play the game. Its an turn based game that i sit and heal/buff zombies xD

[primal frigate]

Why is the sand levitating

Guess who forgot about the raid debuff and stepped into a village?

[silent herald]

[celest reef]

Bogos fried

[lunar wadi]

what veggie is that

looks like sponge

[hazy perch]

maybe that's cheese

[urban sorrel]

Is that pineapple?

[lunar wadi]

thats not cheese

[urban sorrel]

Who would fry pineapple??

[brittle citrus]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[urban sorrel]

I will find them

I will capture them

[lunar wadi]

its not pineapple either

[urban sorrel]

Oh thankfully

I heard anyone who eats fried pineapple immediately ceases to exist

[hazy perch]

[raw cliff]

[brittle citrus]

Kill the rat

[hazy perch]

Hell yeah

I got the crazy woman

[tawny arch]

Holy moly, Papua new guinea?

[silent herald]

I thinj its soursop

[silent herald]

I think its the fruit soursop

[hazy perch]

Shut up

I sacrificed my melee arm to get that thing

[brittle citrus]

Meanie

[glacial harness]

they look like potatoes

[brittle citrus]

Was it worth it? Was it worth losing an arm to have a plague ridden vermin?

[hazy perch]

I hope that that is not what your dad told your mom

[brittle citrus]

ಥ_ಥ

[urban sorrel]

Sour Soup?

Its definitely sour

[silent herald]

Something like this

[twilit mulch]

Soups taste nice

[silent herald]

"Riddle me this"

[twilit mulch]

Like pumpkin soup

[brittle citrus]

I wanna pick someones nose

[twilit mulch]

Or beef broth soup

Or tamato soup

[urban sorrel]

Pvz but im daredevil

[silent herald]

You dont have echolocator silly

[urban sorrel]

But im definitely blind

The plants have echolocation though

[desert salmon]

Do you think replanted is gonna be a sonic origins type deal

where it kinda sucks vanilla but is actually pretty moddable and ends up being a solid way to play the game

[vagrant night]

Death penalty for hat haters

[paper bear]

With the amount of issues players report when playing Plants vs Zombies: Replanted, better half of the mods would be bug fixes and optimization mods...

Вut who knows, the blatant attempt of getting extra cash out of a 16 year old game aside, it might just be the case

[desert salmon]

i think a good amount of the essential mods for sonic origins are just bugfixes and allowing more customization of the experience and stuff

[rocky iron]

a modern EA game that they're gonna monetize out the ass doesn't sound like a potentially moddable game

[silent herald]

The "modern EA game" have more than 10 years

You guys talk like the EA greedy is something recent

[silent herald]

This is what peoples call "meatcake" ?

[brittle citrus]

It’s a pepperoni pizza

[silent herald]

20% pizza

[tawny arch]

All roni

[eternal knoll]

Oops! All Pep

[desert salmon]

i love how oversized the pickaxe is it's like half my height

[brittle citrus]

Pizza is pizza even if the toppings are maniacal. You inconsiderate FOOD HATER!!!

[silent herald]

Hey, i love sweet pizza
The point is: theres no more pizza on this pizza

All the pepperoni reduced The pizza to nothing

[eternal knoll]

What if we put a second pizza upside down on top of the first one

[silent herald]

That is a sandwich

[eternal knoll]

And then we put it in a hydraulic press

[silent herald]

Or any salt food with filling

Like... idk the english name...

Wait a second

Fried pastry?

I think the english name is this

[celest reef]

Pastries are usually sweet

[silent herald]

Ok, i guess this isnt a popular food in other countries, i will search another example

Rissole

[celest reef]

Don't really know what the English equivalent name would be but probably dumplings or pirogies?

[hazy perch]

Uh oh

[eternal knoll]

Does nobody know what a calzone is

@nimble kestrel , educate these people please

[nimble kestrel]

Imagine a pizza but inside a pierogi made of dough

[toxic pilot]

Good night friends have a cozy night

[granite furnace]

What’s pizza?

[granite furnace]

Sweet dreams Avy 🫂

[desert salmon]

hmghhhhh cruel that i cant be a chubby little fox lady i think

with a comfy hoodie or pretty dress and jacket and comfy socks

[hazy perch]

Now I have a tick friend

So now I have some attacks other than shitty pistol

[brittle citrus]

Bro looks like he smoked something

[desert salmon]

To be fair

He's seen some shit

[toxic pilot]

Truly a awful world we live in

[tawny arch]

Can I interest you in Buddhism?

[loud mountain]

How is he here

[urban wharf]

gold!

[twilit mulch]

I KNOW RIGHT

Foxes are peak

[tawny arch]

I guess foxes are pretty cool

[loud mountain]

I dont mind them

[dusky igloo]

a calzone is a savory italian poptart

[dire pebble]

i disagree on a fundamental level

i don't know how to word it but a poptart is a very distinct thing from pretty much anything else

and i get the point is that "oh how silly!" or "i hate that you're right" but it's not

[dusky igloo]

dry streusel

and what is a streusel but a pocket

and what is a calzone but a pocket with savory pizza fillings

[dire pebble]

false actually

streusel is a crumbly topping

so streusel is not a pocket

[dusky igloo]

Streudel

Same thing

not

but still

Blame germany

bad naming scheme

[celest reef]

Germany has many words for very specific things

[opaque drum]

actually, if we're applying historical precedence here... a poptart is a jelly filled, sweet calzone, i'm pretty sure.

[exotic depot]

gonna sell my cs knife to get bf6 and arc raiders i think

gonna wait a few days for prices to go back up on them a but more i suppose

theyre coming bsck from the crash

[urban sorrel]

Hello there

Anyone fancy a pretty rock?

[brittle citrus]

When are we getting a Ghostface with an actual GhostFace™ for a pfp?

[loud mountain]

I mean ive been thinking about a new profile picture for a while now but I have no clue

[brittle citrus]

Want a bug pfp?

[loud mountain]

Nah im fine

[silent herald]

Saw a "Stranger Things pizza" on market and buyed it because im curious
I dont have control on myself

[dusky igloo]

by market do you mean door dash scam place

Though i do suppose that is an actual complete product

so probably not

so how you like squid ink

[silent herald]

Ok, the taste is the same of normal pizza
Except you feel a little little taste of bitter on black part

Cuz it was made with coccoa

(The black color is just pure artificial product, ofc)

But this small pizza was almost the same price as normal-sized pizza

[desert salmon]

Why would you use cocoa to make pizza crust

[silent herald]

Of same factory

[silent herald]

Cuz "special edition" about stranger thing

Thoses weird flavor that only exist for one month

[desert salmon]

Cheese and chocolate flavor just sounds not very good

[silent herald]

Not chocolate flavor

Its just coccoa
Not chocolate

You know coccoa is bitter ingredient for some foods right?

[dusky igloo]

Nothing's worse than $50 pies

[dusky igloo]

and good

molé has entered the chat

"Hi id like a uh small pizza"

"That'll be $20"

"What"

"what"

"alright then ill have some mozz sticks i fucking guess"

Finished Armored Core 6 on ng+ and Liberator of Rubicon 🥹

the hell man

in the "bad" ending I kill ayre

in the good? ending I have to kill walter

and THEN

he hits me with the "Look at you 621
you found a friend..."

[desert salmon]

oh shit!!!

Chat I'm playing e33 rn is lune literally just defect from slay the spire

[exotic depot]

FAHHHH

i hate pending

[rocky iron]

what did bro refund

[dusky igloo]

pink made $1 profit on that knife

remember

the iconic pink csgo knife

[clear mulch]

Ack im so sorry, misread the channel name

Didn't know there was a DRG chat and a Non DRG one

[exotic depot]

actually lost 19 dollars

knife prices tanked and didn't fully come back up

[uncut remnant]

Now do it again for a secret

[dire pebble]

SEE

okay

my stance is that walter is NOT a bad guy

or, bare minimum, he should be given the same grace and nuance as ayre

[dusky igloo]

today on mtg cards that are apparently legal for some fucking reason

[dire pebble]

i'm sure there must be a counter to it

[kind prawn]

no not really

in the start he definitely comes off as

but he starts to soften up and even defends your honor later on "treat my hound with respect, they're as good of a pedigree as any other"

same with ayre, while she does want to protect her people and coral, it caused many horrible things in the past

[dusky igloo]

There is, exile

[kind prawn]

and even if they brought down the xylem, the planetery satellites are down, so who's to say the corps wont return?

[dusky igloo]

but artifact exile doesnt grow on trees

[dire pebble]

exactly! he lived through The Horrors and intend to stop it from happening again AND his dying wish is for you to live however you see fit

[kind prawn]

bro please let walter live in my third playthrough

fate unknown/presumed dead in 1st one (fires of raven)

[dire pebble]

that's a character with depth and nuance that i see far too often sanded down to "fuck you bitch"

[kind prawn]

literally killed him in second one (liberator)

[dusky igloo]

Walter?

[dire pebble]

there's also exile on creatures

[dusky igloo]

as in white

[dire pebble]

no

[kind prawn]

different walter

[dusky igloo]

Well yeah

[kind prawn]

handler walter armored core 6

[dusky igloo]

but its better to solve the problem than kick it down the curb

Exile the equipped creature, ok

next turn they slap that thing on another

[kind prawn]

"rest up, and that's an order"
I wonder how it'll play out in the third playthrough if there were more branches in the second

[dire pebble]

it's also only legendary creatures

[dusky igloo]

No no

That ability is

The equip itself is separate and not limited

[dire pebble]

oh yes i see

intriguing that that equip is free

you could also counter spell the play

buuuuuuuuuuut red decks get fucked

[dusky igloo]

pay 6 mana total to throw it on this and you win

Still counters but again

theyre finnicky and/or hard to come by

Usually youd just like

kill that thing

asap

but if its got mithril, your options narrow to the point where your average deck just cant answer it

[dire pebble]

mmmmm bad scenario because 6 mana (usually) requires you to have six land down so mossborn hydra is either on the field for a while without protection or you're waiting for land drops while it is protected

y'know?

i see the worry with ramping though

[dusky igloo]

mana dorks

[dire pebble]

my friend has a commander deck using wyll

[dusky igloo]

Never touched commander

Feels like it does the opposite of what the appeal is supposed to be

"Focus on your favorite cards!"

[dire pebble]

gained +26 in a single turn and hit me for 32 unblockable damage

[dusky igloo]

focus on exactly one

[dire pebble]

in commander, you have 40 base health but 20 commander damage at ALL (with no way to heal it, to my knowledge) causes you to lose

it was my first game of commander and that just made me not want to touch it again

[dusky igloo]

ive just been doing a scrappy little historic midrange with bristly bill, swarm shambler, and forgotten ancient

solid but also garbage

but i pissed all my hiatus wildcards away

so rip

[south flare]

This kinda just gets fucked by... any decent instant speed interaction.

[dusky igloo]

bouncing kicks the can down the curb

[south flare]

Bouncing, exile, lightning bolt in response to your equip.

[dusky igloo]

but unless you're playing the boring ass 2-3 turn meta win bullshit you're not gonna set up well enough before its back

[dusky igloo]

Monogreen just lays down and dies

[south flare]

Mono green has artifact exile.

[dusky igloo]

Though i suppose there's fight/power damage

[dusky igloo]

Everything on reasonable curve is destroy, no?

Especially talking instant

[south flare]

Exile doesn't have to be instant

It gets around the indestructible entirely

[dusky igloo]

I know

[south flare]

Going rate for instant artifact exile in mono green looks like 3-4 mana

Force of vigor does it free, and it gets another one too

Oh force of vigor is destroy, whoops. Scryfall betrays me again.

[dusky igloo]

Just hate how much viability tax there is on literally any deck

everything needs a good bit of removal, and some exile in particular

Everything needs a good bit of draw

And by the time you're done stuffing in all the baseline shit everything needs you're 12+ cards in and whatever theme idea you had is long dead

[desert salmon]

sourdough loaf

[tribal crater]

small problem there moss born hydra isnt legendary so mythril coat cant be used

[dusky igloo]

We literally went over this

the enter ability is for legendaries

[south flare]

You can attach it for the 3 afterwards.

[dusky igloo]

the equip ( 3 ) is a separate ability

[south flare]

Probably the funniest way I can think of to deal with that is by killing it with myriad landscape at instant speed

[dusky igloo]

i mean mossborn's just a good example of something you need to remove

makes the absurdity of mithril coat apparent

[tribal crater]

not really indestructable only stops it from being killed

[dusky igloo]

course i suppose its not much different than royal treatment or any other "yeah no i win" counter counter with a creature that wins games this quickly

[dusky igloo]

trample, if you're going on about blocking

sure you can tap or bounce

but again, niche and extremely specific

god forbid you not play blue, yknow?

Hell in general these stupid ass "wins if the opponent isnt using this one color" cards

[tribal crater]

if you want somthing truly broken thats legal look at the legendary god cards

[dusky igloo]

look at whatever the most current set is because wotc only gives a fuck about selling more cards

Particularly ub

always gonna find the most broken shit in those sets

after all, gotta incentivize buying them collabs

[tribal crater]

theres a whole batch of them like this one by not being a creature it becomes immune to anything that dosnt specify its targeting a permanent

[dusky igloo]

I know, first showed up in the one mask icon set

[south flare]

Ojer axonil wants a word with you. That word is "pyrohemia"

[dusky igloo]

Not broken though

Devotion is trickier than it sounds and they're all built around it

Scales a bit slowly, too

[tribal crater]

that specifys creatures so these get around that

[dusky igloo]

even by casual "i want to play this videogame for fun" standards theyre slow

[south flare]

Ojer is one of the legendary gods.

[tribal crater]

but if you want crazy have a look at this

[south flare]

That's one of my favorite rakdos cards. I love being able to say "hey, this game is ending soon"

[dusky igloo]

Symmetrical, balanced

High risk

Would be fun to pair it with whatchamacallit

Enchantment, "you cannot gain life, at the start of your upkeep your life is set to half your starting life"

remove the symmetry, embrace evil

combo, so vulnerable to removal

but still

[tribal crater]

that wont work with havoc festival

[dusky igloo]

Im pretty certain it would

[tribal crater]

any form of increaseing life above what you have isnt allowed

[south flare]

Any form of life gain is cancelled

[dusky igloo]

they really didnt distinguish setting and healing?

[dusky igloo]

christ for a game built on technicalities you'd think wotc wouldve left that loophole open

[south flare]

Can't always beats can.

[tribal crater]

ajani is a funny combo if you can pull if off

right mtg has 50 carnds of the same name give me a sec

[dusky igloo]

i know what ajani is

pikachu of mtg decks

"ill have monowhite lifegain"
"How interesting"
"With ajani's pridemate"
"Daring today aren't we"

[tribal crater]

theres alot that do diffrent things i mean specificly this one pop this right before havoc

[south flare]

I dunno, that seems terminally fair. 11 mana (with 4 different colors) for a combo you have to wait 4 turns for and doesn't instantly win the game.

[limber latch]

Behold

8 dabloons

[desert salmon]

me waking up and realizing the witch wasn't bluffing

[tribal crater]

you only really need 6 mana as ajani needs to exist for 4 turns first so the mana used to cast it will be free for havoc

[south flare]

While we're on planeswalker enchantment combos, this interaction is something I found funny enough to build a whole deck around.

[tribal crater]

reminds me of demonstrate that showed up on the 12th doctor

which accualy would feed nicly in to that combo

[south flare]

Yeah, it works great with anything that says cast or copy, since you both copy it and then cast it, and then storm copies it again.

The funniest way that deck has won was by resolving 120 copies of gut shot

[craggy vale]

we can talk abt things here

[south flare]

This is actually a talking-free zone.

[south flare]

I think it'll work if you hit it hard enough

[silent herald]

This durivi paradox thing is really confusing

Theres a second operator now?

[tribal crater]

have you completed the new war

[silent herald]

No, still on harrow quest

Just wanted to do others things

[tribal crater]

the new war is when you will get more of the story connecting the two, duviri is their backstory

[silent herald]

And yet the game let me play very early

This paradox thing

[tribal crater]

it was suppose to be a second start option then they moved its requirements

[tribal crater]

my best guess would they realised the work of revising the entirity of the game to handle a diffrent story

[kind prawn]

does abrams really have the worst character design idk what to feel about this take

[silent herald]

Warframe never tell you 70% of stuff on right way lol

Both lore and gameplay

[tribal crater]

in this case its intended as duviri and the new war are both filled with references to each other and an impossible time line

[desert salmon]

BEWARE the PIPELINE... "cool" guy with a long coat and one eye covered by hair to fat fox gal..... beware......

[silent herald]

Its funny when they put a fictio al character next to a real photo/art of someone from real life

[silent herald]

(This is from game Evil West)

[dire pebble]

true...

[dire pebble]

more normal than the regular game

[limber latch]

wdym Lincoln is fictional character

[silent herald]

Yes, he never existed

Like Santa claus

[limber latch]

😔

I guess slavery abolished itself

[silent herald]

Nah, a group of people did this but the capitalism created Abraham Lincoln as symbol made to sell holiday products

[native echo]

Happens to the best of us

[limber latch]

holiday products?

I thought that lincoln is a car

[silent herald]

Uh?

[desert salmon]

I think it's awesome having someone who's weird like I am and who I love more than anything else ever

[limber latch]

Do you know what else is awesome?

Didn't even get to check what the scam was.

shame.

[cedar zephyr]

Typical crypto scam

The 4 embed fail images are a dead giveaway

[narrow sail]

Could have been something relatively new.

[twilit mulch]

Like where the images got malware?

[cedar zephyr]

A crypto scam that claims to defeat crypto scams

[twilit mulch]

Or just

Images?

[cedar zephyr]

Embed images are safe since they're just image files.

But still, there's no point clicking on them to see, it's just a scam

[narrow sail]

Could have been some other dipshit E-Celeb than just Mr Beast, Elon or Kai.

[twilit mulch]

No i clicked on one on accident

Wanted to make sure lol

[narrow sail]

You're fine.

[cedar zephyr]

If you really want to be safe, make sure you have 2FA enabled on your discord account

[twilit mulch]

Some people did shit with image files a while ago and like, i still have bad memories from that

[twilit mulch]

90% sure i do

[cedar zephyr]

And change your password the moment you hear about any website you have an account on get "hacked", "database stolen" or any other keywords that imply people's data have been compromised

Better safe than sorry

[cedar zephyr]

Doesn't matter how big or small, I will pat...

[twilit mulch]

I just had to anyway cause i forgot about it

It

I forgot my password

I also don’t

Share passwords between accounts

I have a password manager (called the notes app on my phone)

[hazy perch]

Bruh
Download a keepass

[cedar zephyr]

What happens if someone manages to get past your phone's lock screen?

Get a real password manager, like what wiwestor recommended

All you need to remember is the master password, which can be something like a date where something important happened

[twilit mulch]

Well 1;

• direct access to my hardware so im fucked already

• all my accounts dont auto log out on my phone so again, fucked

• immediate access to all my email. Again, fucked they can just change passwords with it.

With a password manager, they just need to find my one password for that manager and log in. With my passwords on my phone they need to both guess the password and get direct access to my hardware

[unkempt needle]

CorrectHorseBatteryStaple-type password (with added complexity) my beloved

[twilit mulch]

I should go around and change all my passwords to more secure stuff (there ok rn, but a long passphrase with a little added complexity would be better)

[twilit mulch]

And again if they do that to my phone my accounts are fucked anyway

[cedar zephyr]

We should find a way to integrate our phones into our bodies, so the only way they can get to our phones is to kidnap us in person

[unkempt needle]

Dunno bout that one

[twilit mulch]

Or you know, just, keep an eye on your phone? Just keep it in your front pocket or somewhere you know it cant be stolen

Like

Easily

Limiting hackers to either:

• stealing my phone, off my person, where it can be more easily tracked,

• Brute forcing a separate password for all my accounts

Is good security imo

[hazy perch]

What if your phone goes kaput
Do you have a backup of notes?

That's the thing with password managers
You can store encrypted file somewhere on the cloud so you wont loose everything by loosing your phone

[twilit mulch]

Thats a fair point i do not.

Usb drive is probably the solution to that tbh

A little backup

In my mind a password manager does the same thing as just having one password for every account, like,

Why as a hacker if i had a valid email and wanted to brute force into a few accounts, not try major password managers first? One password protects ALLL there others.

Atleast this way they need physical access to me.

And my stuff

[dire pebble]

sigh

pounce has been pinged in another channel

i guess we just wait

[twilit mulch]

Mmmmm

Its a hacked account

Shame :/

[dire pebble]

oh well

[charred pollen]

holy shit discord is actually doing something

never thought i'd see the day

[twilit mulch]

My god

The world suddenly just got slightly lest shit

[charred pollen]

that's why you do not use any password manager that stores your passwords anywhere other than in an encrypted file

[twilit mulch]

That, just becomes a more complicated “storing it on my phone in notes or an ecrypted text file on a USB”

That you sometimes need to PAY for

[charred pollen]

keepassxc

free
open sourced

has compatible foss android apps

[twilit mulch]

Ok thats awesome but again:

[charred pollen]

if someone gets your phone and it has passwords in plaintext they're all gone in a few minutes

if it's in encrypted password database, best they can do is just reset the phone and try to sell it

[twilit mulch]

Well ok that would work if:

• you have access to any accounts on the phone itself ANYWAY, like my mobile discord app.

• didn’t have access to my EMAIL so you can just reset passwords anyway.

• couldnt just bruteforce the database. They can brute force you keypin to get into the phone, they can maybe brute force the database

If your phones stolen, EVERYTHING is fucked already unless you have provissions to remotely wipe it before there past the home screen (im looking into that)

With or without passwords on it

[strange cradle]

the whole point of a password manager is to generate practically non brute forceable passwords, then keep a single password for the manager itself that you do not use anywhere else, ever
End result being, if an individual password is somehow cracked or leaked, your other sites (and your manager) remain safe
Yes the password manager PW becomes a breakpoint, but you could encrypt that if you're paranoid

[charred pollen]

as long as you enable decryption delay (so decrypting database takes like, 1 second), it's impossible to bruteforce your way into database

[twilit mulch]

Ok but that doesn’t solve the other 2 issues that circumvent your passwords anyway

[strange cradle]

Any sensible password manager will also just
Lock you out if you start spamming passwords
Some will literally erase them all if you keep pushing

[twilit mulch]

A phone will do that too.

But once you get access to hardware

You can circumvent it

And yea an encrypted database is good

And like this is technically better then the notes app

And i might honestly get it

But like, in reality it will not make a difference

[charred pollen]

actually it kinda does
think about it, where you are logged in in your phone
email is quite important but as long as you have at least one email where you aren't logged in, and it's set to be recovery email for the rest (or they're chained together), you can recover your email accounts

as long as you dont have the registration emails stored hackers do not know which accounts use this email

messengers usually use phone number so uh

fucked either way if someone gets your sim-card

if you have all your passwords in notes, you also have a big list of all accounts you have, often with related email address

[twilit mulch]

Yea, emails cost money and im poor (i refuse to use free ones for other reasons)

If i could i would certainly have a separate email for each account, but an actually safe, well managed, and non steally-data email (like bigpond or whatever) costs 6-15 bucks a month.

At most if I wanted too i could do like

3

[charred pollen]

i mean
self-hosting

but idk how much your isp requires to get static ip

[dire pebble]

what you should do is keep a list of every single password on a sticky note on your monitor

[charred pollen]

self-hosting solves like
a lot of problems

[twilit mulch]

It doesn’t, self hosting comes with 30 million other issues however.

Like uh

[charred pollen]

i'd drown in sticky notes

[twilit mulch]

Keeping a server running. In a rural town. With power outages. And limited generator fuel.

[charred pollen]

might look into vps then
usually it's the processing power that's costly and you dont really need that for emails

[twilit mulch]

Or the fact like 80% of email providers blacklist you from there lists

[charred pollen]

just send request to unblock you

[twilit mulch]

Look if i REALLY wanted i could get my OCI account but im using that for other things

[charred pollen]

it takes a bit of time but they do respond and unblock people if they actually have mail servers (that aren't spamming)

[twilit mulch]

They keep doing it tho, its automatic. Your gonna be sending that request once a month.

[charred pollen]

<@&296918282403840000>

nvm

i didnt even notice when it was deleted

that's fast

[twilit mulch]

They ARE gonna be unblocking u just, like, again, once a month your gonna be asking them

[charred pollen]

...no?

[twilit mulch]

Yes

[charred pollen]

they don't block anyone themselfs

[twilit mulch]

Ive had people self host before

[charred pollen]

they only block if there's actual spam

[twilit mulch]

My friends have

This is a genuine issue

[charred pollen]

that's really weird

[twilit mulch]

If your not a major player gmail and outlook block you as they can’t be sure.

Well not “major” but if your not atleast a small business

[charred pollen]

i've not heard neither encountered blacklist hosters just re-adding you

[twilit mulch]

Well your lucky

Look it up, genuine issue i hear complaints about all the time

Its why i dont self host, i do have the BOX capabile of it.

[charred pollen]

well, my proxy broke

gotta figure out what happened

[twilit mulch]

Honestly actually

Hmmm

Im not

Using my OCI server account rn

I COULLLD

Maybe set up an email there

Maybe

Idk

Bigponds good tbh

[twilit mulch]

Yea Idfk how proxys work good luck with that

[charred pollen]

they don't, that's the problem

[twilit mulch]

Lol

I honestly might just get IVPN

Really good vpn service and considering a vpn and proxy work pretty identical as far as im aware

Yea

[twilit mulch]

Hey can I open dms with you so we can just talk about computer stuff?

Im not actually that smart and you seem a lot smarter tbh

And like

Surrounding yourself with smart people

Is good

[charred pollen]

is that 3rd party vpn

[twilit mulch]

Yea, gold standard for privacy and you set up the connection protocols yourself (or can anyway) and they just provide external servers for a small fee.

Much better then like, surfshark or nord vpn bullshit

Wouldnt trust them

[charred pollen]

gold standard for privacy is vps configured by yourself with vless and self-stealing reality

[twilit mulch]

I mean gold standard in the 3rd party industry

[charred pollen]

there is no gold standard in 3rd party industry

"it's free because you're the product" is bullshit

you are product

preiod

it does not matter if you pay or not

[twilit mulch]

Thats not the case with everything. Just most things.

Believe it or not, people like you, want vpns to become actually available to the masses, so sometimes, RARELY, make a service that doesn’t steal your data. You just have to look for it.

Also again i cant run my own vpn server

[charred pollen]

can't cost that much

hold on uh

ill login in into control panel of vps provider

[twilit mulch]

Its not about cost

[charred pollen]

then what

[twilit mulch]

Also wait what do you count as 3rd party

[charred pollen]

controlled by 3rd party

[chilly sparrow]

honestly when it comes to vpns i would just get some trusted service that is cheap and works well

[twilit mulch]

Time, space, reliability, i unfortunately rely upon the internet for my schooling so i cant tinker around with shit constantly, etc

[charred pollen]

nord and surfshark are trusted by many and are cheap
doesn't make them good tho

[twilit mulch]

As in the software of physical hardware

[charred pollen]

when it comes to vpn you cant really have your own hardware

[chilly sparrow]

works well i mean
not just if its cheap and is known to work
nord got some hiccups i heard

[charred pollen]

so you just have to settle in for your own software

[twilit mulch]

Yea so IVPN gives you hardware and a base, you can completely configure the connection yourself with wireshark or whatever software you want

Its not like surfshark where its completely locked down

[charred pollen]

ok then what's difference between just getting your own vps

[hazy perch]

Money

[twilit mulch]

Whats a VPS in the senario?

[charred pollen]

it's like, 10 minutes to set up

[charred pollen]

virtual private server

aka virtual machine running in datacenter

[hazy perch]

I pay like 50 cents for vps my vpn is on

[twilit mulch]

Like OCI?

[charred pollen]

idk what oci means

[charred pollen]

i pay 7 cents per day

[twilit mulch]

The data center sector of the orical company. You own VMS and shit

[hazy perch]

50 cents per month

[twilit mulch]

In a server

[charred pollen]

they just give you a virtual machine and let you do stuff

[twilit mulch]

Also if it is like OCI: the diff is you can still run that connection through whatever server you want on a dime so quick switching

[twilit mulch]

Yea so exactly like OCI

VM on a server with remote termanal you can do whatever the fuck you want with

I used mine to make a minecraft server once lol

But i cant get one outside Australia easily

Whitch i need

*which

[charred pollen]

i have 2 of them, one as internet proxy and other as mail proxy

[charred pollen]

i'm russian and i got vps outside of my country, even with all the sanctions

surely there are companies willing to work with a country not in a state of war

[twilit mulch]

Yea thats not the issue the issue its more like, yea they exist but you have horrible connections to the ones that let you connect that way

[charred pollen]

yeah uh i see

i dont think there's gonna be solution for that ngl

[twilit mulch]

Ive tried to opperate a server in the US an eroupe and i get like a second of ping delay.

Cause the servers that work with you dont, have high speed connections

[charred pollen]

it's more of a physical thing

[twilit mulch]

If I connect to a server WITH a high speed connection its under 300ms

[charred pollen]

you know, signal still has limited speed

[lunar wadi]

just host server yourself :>

[charred pollen]

proxy

no point in hosting proxy on your own machine

[twilit mulch]

I need it to be outside Australia

I have a seperate machine

The BOX

But keeping it running all the time in rural Australia is, not that possible

[lunar wadi]

mmm

[charred pollen]

why do you even need proxy?

[twilit mulch]

I don’t need a proxy i need to mask traffic outside Australia 😭

New Australian laws coming effect next year

Similar to UK laws

[charred pollen]

oh

oh god

yeah uh
that sucks

[twilit mulch]

Im over 16 but dont wanna be giving out ID and shit to confirm that

[charred pollen]

yeah...

[twilit mulch]

Soooo i dont wanna be offically in Australia on the internet anymore

If i just wanted a proxy i can set up one in country fine

[wise void]

good VPNs generally don't do sponsorships
use mullvad or maybe protonVPN

[twilit mulch]

[wise void]

i didn't know they were particularly bad, my mistake

[twilit mulch]

Guh dad used to have norton on my computer. I removed it tho luckily

[frigid lintel]

reminder: if you really care about what vpn provider you're using, firstly define your threat model

are you just gonna use it for piracy? any vpn will work

anything really shady? maybe be more careful

[charred pollen]

uk's 1984 laws coming to our australian friend

[chilly sparrow]

oh no not norton
i have heard exceptionally bad things about norton and mcafee

[twilit mulch]

Not be in country, dont want them syphonig data either.

[frigid lintel]

any vpn provider or even a dinky ass VPS will work if all you really need is to switch locations

[twilit mulch]

Norton is the best large anti-virus company.

Thats an extremely low bar to surpass, and they only do it by not quite being as malicious as mcaffee

[sly pawn]

I feel like an anime girl for somereason (20M)

[wise void]

are they better or just larger than bitdefender
and how do they compare to avast

[twilit mulch]

I do still care about what my ISP/country monitor’s going through my shit tho

[twilit mulch]

I dont know what bitdefender or avast is so that probably answers your question

[charred pollen]

from my experience so far, best anti-virus is switching to linux

[chilly sparrow]

i used avast browser on my old school thinkpad so i feel like its good

[wise void]

i mean, i already did that
i know plenty people who still stick to windows though, and once in a blue moon i use it myself

[charred pollen]

add clam-av if you're really paranoid

[twilit mulch]

Thats security through obfuscation and is a fallacy. And quickly not working. Linux is starting to get attacked more

[twilit mulch]

I still play video games so im still just fucking around on ten

[charred pollen]

linux has less attack vectors and security issues are found and fixed faster

[frigid lintel]

is this the "more people = more better security" argument

[twilit mulch]

That’s depends on what arm.

[charred pollen]

windows has way way way way more users, and yet there's a new 0-day exploit or two on windows every month

[wise void]

using linux doesn't absolve you of common sense
watch out on places like the AUR and be careful about obscure git repos

[twilit mulch]

If you use like, branches off the main 3, you know, actually human friendly ones, are a few updates behind

[charred pollen]

security updates are usually available as soon as they can be

[frigid lintel]

and xz/liblzma is pretty important, used nearly everywhere that uses compression
yet it still got backdoored, and the only reason we know about it is because some guy noticed his logins were 1s slower

[twilit mulch]

No, but the opposite is also not true.

Less people also doesn’t mean more secure. A lot of people think this and there wrong

[wise void]

and the backdoor was so sophisticated that it was most likely made by a state agent

[frigid lintel]

i think people overestimate open source security simply because it's open source

[twilit mulch]

No, again, not if your not on the main 3 arms. Its still a 2-8 day thing

[charred pollen]

yeah and guy who backdoored it had years of contributions instantly going down the drain

[twilit mulch]

The best security is closed source to everyone but you lol.

Make your OWN os and make sure no one else knows how it works

Such a

Simple thing

Mhm

[charred pollen]

windows is fundamentally not secure, since they have to include backdoors for feds, and those backdoors can and will be found

[frigid lintel]

you can argue the same thing about linux, it's easy: backdoor the compilers

[frigid lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu3laL5VYdM

[twilit mulch]

If you wanna go down that root: got bad news about your CPU and BIOS since even those have inbuilt backdoors from manufacturers in the US . . .

[charred pollen]

those are harder to abuse

[twilit mulch]

The NSA has leaked reports of how they abused them to gain access to peoples computers remotely.

[charred pollen]

and sadly open-source hardware has same issue as linux, but even more
no one uses it -> no one makes stuff for it -> no one uses it

[twilit mulch]

You just gotta find out what computer u wanna havk

Whitch is difficult

But

[charred pollen]

if people trying to hack you come from 3-letter agency with billions or millions of dollars and whole teams of hackers, there's no safety

you just can not be secure from that

[frigid lintel]

this is why the first thing i say when someone asks anything to do with security is "what's your threat model"

[twilit mulch]

Burn down your house

[charred pollen]

but you can be secure from script kiddies or beginner hackers

[twilit mulch]

Plant a nuclear warhead in the CIA headquarters

[frigid lintel]

you can't care about and defend yourself from every threat that exists ever, your time and effort is just as valuable

[twilit mulch]

Gimme ideas for the box

I still don’t know what i wanna do with ittt

Guhhhh

[lunar wadi]

install pihole

make dns server

[cedar zephyr]

First thing that came to mind was mini-fridge

[charred pollen]

it does kinda look like mini-fridge

[cedar zephyr]

You could turn it into a mini-itx sleeper build with a 200mm front intake fan

[twilit mulch]

Its got 4 drive bays, thst seems a little bit if a waste

[wise void]

nothing inside of it?

what motherboards does it take

[twilit mulch]

A mini ITX wont fit with the drive bays

[lunar wadi]

well

you can install more than that too?

but at least install pihole

[twilit mulch]

Its a microserver, it runs a custom small server board

Its TINY

[twilit mulch]

I dont think anyway

Wait lemme check

[cedar zephyr]

If it doesn't have the slots to mount a PCIe card, then it can't be used as a gaming build

Which i'm guessing it doesn't

[charred pollen]

i mean, you could install 3 drives and have software raid 5

[twilit mulch]

Barely could fit the mini ITX but quite literally the drive bay is 2cm away from the CPU

[charred pollen]

idk if raid 5 works with 4 drives

[twilit mulch]

Already had four 4 TB ones.

[charred pollen]

is there a raid controller?

[twilit mulch]

Actually it TECHNICALLY DOES.

This is the inside

No room.

[frigid lintel]

um

meow

[twilit mulch]

No clue got it for free

[frigid lintel]

uhhh pihole and storage

[twilit mulch]

Its a 2007 proliant microserver

[frigid lintel]

you can put immich in it, pretty good photo management like google photos
(not biased at all)

[twilit mulch]

If u wanna find specs

[cedar zephyr]

I can just make out the tiny heatsinks almost pressing against the drive bays

[twilit mulch]

OH actually people have fit 750 TI’s in there with there heatsinks

so

[twilit mulch]

Mmmm

[cedar zephyr]

There are low-profile versions of the x50 series cards

And i think there's a few x60 ones too

[twilit mulch]

[twilit mulch]

The CPU is soldered and shit. Ans 2 gb of ram expandble to a max of 8.

[cedar zephyr]

2007 means probably a core 2 duo

or an Athlon

CPU bottleneck let's go

[twilit mulch]

Its intel.

Look

One goood thing about this stuff

Its all shit pulled from professional server hardware so it probably has another 15 years of life

Legit only good thing

Im probs gonna turn it into a media server or storage

Or maybe like

[wise void]

yeah as yesnt said you can run pihole and media/storage stuff
maybe use as an SSH jump host if you're gonna port-forward it

[twilit mulch]

It can run simple server tasks

[cedar zephyr]

Yeah, i think it will work best as a NAS

Core 2 Duo is really old and obsolete

[frigid lintel]

if youre gonna use smth like jellyfin itll really benefit from having a gpu

transcoding/compressing video will suck on that poor cpu

[twilit mulch]

Mmmmmm

Issue is also cooling

[wise void]

jellyfin does real-time transcoding?

[twilit mulch]

It has a single fan at the back (tbf it is a 180mm but still)

[silent herald]

Everything is fine

[cedar zephyr]

180mm isn't a standard fan size nowadays, but i think Lian Li sells one that was intended for its cases

[twilit mulch]

No like its an imbuilt fan

[cedar zephyr]

Welp, no replacing that then

And with the lack of space, you'll have to make do with what you have

[wise void]

an rtx 3050 6GB or arc a380 shouldn't affect that a lot

[twilit mulch]

Trueee

[wise void]

and that's gonna be enough for encoding

[dusky igloo]

Jurassic World 4: haha oops you arent gonna believe this

[wise void]

(not like you can fit much more than that, no way that thing has a PCIe power cable)

[twilit mulch]

It has a 300 watt PSU

[cedar zephyr]

It might have a single 6-pin connector at least

Unless it's one of those weird server form factor psu

[twilit mulch]

Alos theres a chance those are still too long lol

[twilit mulch]

Probably

Its all server hardware

[wise void]

have you measured how much space you have?

and those cards aren't particularly long
the a380 is like 124mm

[twilit mulch]

I currently can’t o have my hands full with other things and need to half disassemble it to measure

[twilit mulch]

Oh that one should be fine

Must of looked up wrong one

[twilit mulch]

Im making my own desk, building a new high end workstation/gaming rig, and study for exams in half a week

That motherboard looks almost like MicroATX

[twilit mulch]

What

16gb

Wow

[brisk drift]

The only person I recognise here is this bum Tilehammer.. this is distressing
