its easier to do the sexism if you begin it by making those distinctions

#

thats why language is gendered

sick olive
#

im so confused

#

why is their 72 genders 😆

serene dagger
sick olive
serene dagger
#

thats still wrong lol

sick olive
#

not really

#

science proves male and female exist

sonic glacier
#

how are you defining those?

dusty aspen
#

"male" and "female" are terms associated with gender identity, aren't they?

sick olive
serene dagger
sick olive
#

biologically your sex is either male or female

sonic glacier
#

hmm that isn't true though

sick olive
#

ah shit their can be like xxy as well

serene dagger
#

have u seen yours?

sonic glacier
#

indeed there can

sick olive
#

ok in that case well idk

#

maybe non-binary which covers anything else?

serene dagger
#

maybe just stop throwing people into boxes lol, i just like the box of "is person" for anyone that is alive and outside of the womb thats the only valid gender

sick olive
#

then were done

serene dagger
#

but then in vitro fertilization would be person on a petri dish pithink

serene dagger
#

even my labels dont work lol rip i give up
maybe person can be "autonomous alive human"

sick olive
#

starting to think this would work

sonic glacier
#

gender is typically considered a phenomenon observed in the world
it's one thing to say we should have a genderless society, but it would be inaccurate to describe our society as genderless

#

i want to go back to 2014 world cup

#

where world was great and fun and simple

cursive agate
#

lets just call people "it" so they feel objectified

serene dagger
static trout
#

or just dont refer to people smh

sick olive
#

or just dont leave your house and never talk to anyone

serene dagger
sick olive
#

i stg in like 5 years everyone finna be a fat ass mf who dont leave their house

cursive agate
#

if everyone calls themselves "it", then we also understand that the world is of importance too and objectification will be eradicated and "it" will become the universal pronoun where it encompasses all genders under one umbrella, be it animals, humans, toys, trees, and butterflies

ocean walrus
#

I've managed to make gta run on linux

sick olive
#

i use windows on vm for word lol

oak hemlock
#

I wish we could install JoyPixels on Windows

serene dagger
#

i think w11 looks p good actually pithink

ocean walrus
#

although people were saying that it does runfine

sick olive
sinful lark
oak hemlock
#

and it runs better than it does on Windows

#

praise Lutris and Proton GE

sinful lark
#

ive always heard linux is not very well optimized for gaming but could be false

oak hemlock
#

Most games will actually run better on Linux than on Windows

serene dagger
#

yeah the gaming is fine i just dont like the input stuff its super wonky to get my mouse tuned properly lol

sinful lark
#

ah

oak hemlock
#

The main problem is anticheats who choose not to work on Linux

#

but that might change in the near future with EAC and Battleye

serene dagger
#

ngl mouse input is super shit and inconsistent between distros lmao

oak hemlock
#

I've not noticed such a thing

#

Maybe between DEs, but I doubt between distros

serene dagger
oak hemlock
#

er

serene dagger
#

yeah DE ig

sinful lark
#

why is that do u think

#

is it delayed inputs?

serene dagger
oak hemlock
#

I bet it's just mouse speed

sinful lark
#

ohh

serene dagger
#

and the mouse speed is also all over the place

#

at least on windows i can tune my mouse properly lol

oak hemlock
#

the mouse settings are better on Wayland

#

everything's kinda better on Wayland

sick olive
#

idrk why im on linux tbh

#

someone told me it was cool lol

oak hemlock
#

What distro did you pick?

sick olive
#

ubuntu

serene dagger
#

never done wayland but all of x11 mouse stuff I've tried has been hell and i never got it to work how i wanted lemon_angrysad

oak hemlock
#

phew

#

you passed my sanity check

sick olive
#

yeah its good

sinful lark
#

yeah i use ubuntu too

#

i really like it

sick olive
#

only issues are compatibility

sinful lark
#

i am ordering a framework laptop soon, ill install ubuntu on it too

sick olive
#

other than that its nice

serene dagger
#

it feels better to game on a windows vm than dealing with Linux mouse settings lol

sick olive
#

however its impossible to close your vm when you give it 15gb/16gb of ur ram

#

my main is always like potato

#

gtg

serene dagger
#

i got it working with a script that closes vm on windows shutdown it was fine

#

but not coming back until mouse settings make some sort of sense lol

sinful lark
#

yeah i need my mouse to precise whenever i game xqcTF

ocean walrus
#

very smooth

#

Its rated gold on protonDB

cursive agate
ocean walrus
#

I have an i510400, gtx 1660 super, and 16gb ram

serene dagger
#

bruh i just install windows and click disable acceleration and the games feel good, idk what numbers and stuff to put on x11 mouse stuff

ocean walrus
#

I ran it through proton

serene dagger
#

actually linux is fine literally all my problems are with x11 lmao

ocean walrus
#

lmao

cursive agate
#

protonGE is bae

#

anyway fuck you windows for using chkdsk on my linux drive

#

if windows will corrupt the binaries again, imma nuke my linux distro first and once i graduate, i will nuke windows completely

oh yes. I just saw a Facebook post that a friend from a few years ago was arrested for stealing from unlocked cars

dusty quarry

Tell her "she is the person who you know the most"

sick olive

Give her a cookie

just ask if she wants to hang out sometime.

dusty quarry

Not "sometime" or it will never happen

true enough, pick a time

dusty quarry

Also don’t ask if she wanna hangout

#

novel hull
#

yeah, there's a big semantic diff between hanging out and a more date-ish kind of thing

kind horizon
#

I used to have that problem when I was high school, but at some point, I learned to just tell someone if I like them.

oak hemlock
#

I had that problem until I realized that I really should not be dating

kind horizon
#

The trick to getting away with this, is you have to make it apparent that if they are not interested, you are not going to be dramatic and incurably upset.

#

If you can transition from, "If you want to I would be interested in..." to, "Oh, no? That's cool, no problem."

#

You cant become sad puppy dog.

oak hemlock
#

I'm the type of person to just never say how I feel because I can never trust my feelings lemon_fingerguns_shades

#

Word. Well, being aware of that is pretty useful as well.

kind horizon
#

And it was armed robbery.

#

I used to hang out with that guy.

oak hemlock
#

oh my

#

yeah they found a gun on this guy

#

apparently he stole that too

kind horizon
#

He always had a problem where he would get drunk and get into fights. So I assumed it was that, like... I assumed he got himself in over his head like he used to when we would go out drinking.

#

But I thought, "Prison seems like a lot..."

#

You never know what people are capable of i think

oak hemlock
#

don't do drugs kids 😔

kind horizon
#

I dont know if it was that or not. It could have been. I havent seen him since I was in high school.

#

So there is no telling what direction his life went.

#

He's one of those people where everyone in the city you live in knows him on social media, and if you go out to a club or some place, every single person knows him.

#

It was so weird to discover that about him/

oak hemlock
#

I guess it's quite depressing that someone goes down far enough to do things like that

kind horizon
#

yeah

#

His job was working as a machinist, which isn't a terrible job. It's still a lot of work in shop with dangerous equipment

#

but it pays alright...

#

I would have to ask to know why and Im not gonna haha

anyone know how I can change my BIOS's shortcut
its f12 right now, I want to change it to another key

#

like to enter the BIOS during boot?

#

yup

#

where the config settings are @sick olive .

#

there is no easy way to do that

#

hmm

#

is there a tutorial

#

unless your BIOS has that somewhere in its settings, but I doubt it

#

You could flash another BIOS, but I strongly recommend against

#

that's a good way to brick your device

#

ye im not gonna do that

#

i remember trying to change my username and the whole OS decided to not work

#

you heard that right, never again.

#

im using DELL, Windows right now, is there a way to change my key shortcut to BIOS?

#

from f12 to something else

oak hemlock
#

I've discovered another Discord Mobile discrepancy

#

``````

#

if you see ``````, then you're on Discord for Desktop...
If you see `\` then you're on Discord for Mobile

oak hemlock
#

There's not going to be way unless:

  1. You remap the key physically on your keyboard (which very, very few keyboards support)
  2. You replace your whole motherboard because IIRC that is where the keys are defined

Woops, I needed to call using LinearAlgebra first (like run it seperately)

#

Thanks @solid prawn

solid prawn
#

np

oak hemlock
#

How exactly does this fix any problem

#

I'm very confused

sick olive
#

this wont really work but hiding where the real shortcut key is will somewhat help + long password

oak hemlock
sick olive
#

im unsure what he did but it needed access to BIOS

oak hemlock
#

Reset the password or reset the computer

#

because a vulnerability like that definitely isn't supposed to be possible

#

There's nothing Windows-specific in the BIOS

#

you can't mess with the Windows unless you have access to Windows

#

I have my doubts.

sick olive
#

He used an external OS to do this btw

oak hemlock
#

The situations are:

  1. Your computer is flawed
  2. You don't know the whole situation
  3. Your uncle is some hacker
sick olive
#
  1. most likely
  2. based
oak hemlock
#

Deleting those messages is quite annoying, frankly

sick olive
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

oak hemlock
#

but what you're asking to do isn't going to be possible

#

Even if you disable the shortcut

#

there are plenty of other ways to access the BIOS

sick olive
#

its still possible to access theBIOS

#

yes im aware of that

oak hemlock
#

and that's not accounting for the fact that all your data is on a hard drive

#

and it won't spare you of anything

#

I refuse to believe that what you say is reasonably possible

#

Access to the BIOS will do you next to none because it's not even required for you to be able to install another OS onto the hard drive

#

that can be done with just the one time boot menu

#

Windows isn't going to let you just reset the password with some magic access to the BIOS. It's my bet that your uncle simply reinstalled Windows by wiping the drive

sick olive
#

all the data was intact

#

no data was lost, the drive was encrypted.

#

2 accounts, admin, user.
dad used user but forgotten the password to admin

#

@oak hemlock

#

he bypassed it, unsure how

oak hemlock
#

A reset of some kind would have had to have been in place

#

and it was likely just resetting the admin user

sick olive
#

could you elaborate how that works :3

#

that seems very likely

oak hemlock
#

all the data is on the user account

#

the admin account is just for running things with elevated permissions, for the most part

sick olive
#

how did he change the admin account tho

#

and how can i not allow that to happen to my laptop?

oak hemlock
#

My guess is that it wasn't changed

#

simply reset and/or deleted and replaced

@solid prawn you have become a mod

solid prawn

thank

sick olive
#

im guessing that he changed the admin privileged account?

#

istn that a vuln

oak hemlock
#

Frankly, if you're this worried then you can just encrypt your hard drive

sick olive
#

imagine not encrypting your hard drive

oak hemlock
#

What you're trying to do won't help you in the long run

sick olive
#

the PC was encrypted

oak hemlock
#

You're definitely a bit over paranoid about the wrong things

sick olive
#

ok nvm, i realized my mistake

#

even if he changed the admin account, he cant access my information on the main user account

oak hemlock
sick olive
oak hemlock

So I don't know if I should use SQLAlchemy or manual database operations like a big girl

#

SQLAlechemy or SQLite is good enough

#

ready made, tested, used irl

sick olive
#

I mean, you could swap the password store

sick olive
#

but I really doubt your BIOS can do that

#

if it is encrypted it is 100% impossible

oak hemlock
sick olive
#

very based, thanks guy, never thought i could have this sort of convo in a p.language server

sick olive
oak hemlock
#

but if it's encrypted, then you have the assurance that even if they try to read the data... they're not going anywhere unless they have the decryption key

sick olive
#

IMO everyone should encrypt their hard drive

#

whenever it is password or physical key based

oak hemlock
#

tbh I didn't encrypt my drive because transferring stuff from Windows was becoming a pain

sick olive
#

well, just boot into linux and mount the Win drive

#

that's the easiest way to do it

oak hemlock
#

can't do that if it's encrypted

sick olive
#

also you can still encrypt it, although it takes a hot minute

oak hemlock
#

unless I'm misremembering what happened

sick olive
#

its possible just unencrypt it

#

decrypt it when u need it**

oak hemlock

Makes me wonder if you really want a thread in this instance

doesn't make much sense to me

pine vale
#

dont wanna make a whole new channel

oak hemlock
#

then what's the point of the thread? lol

pine vale
#

?

oak hemlock
#

because it almost sounds like that's exactly what you'd want

#

Threads are kind of meant to be spontaneous and have the same sort of permissions throughout all of them

deep heath
oak hemlock
#

having a constant thread with different permissions is probably not an appropriate use of them

#

and would be better suited towards a channel

pine vale
#

hmmm so u can't set any perms in threads itself
ok

deep heath
oak hemlock
#

personally I have no clue. If it's not obvious, then my guess is that it's not possible

Even if it was, I'd not suggest that format

is it? I think here they use a DNS specific field

sick olive

That's good

not sure what you mean by IP header

#

IP is an addressing scheme, not a transfer protocol

serene dagger
opaque finch
sick olive
#

can you spoof that?

opaque finch
#

I mean, I guess you could send whatever you want.

sick olive
#

sounds like things would break if you do, no?

opaque finch
#

It's just that the OS usually does it for you

sick olive
#

hmmm

#

that's interesting

opaque finch
#

This seems like it's the standard approach in DNS reflection

oak hemlock
#

wait this confuses me... How do servers know where a request came from and that it's not fake

oak hemlock
#

is it not possible to fake like every single aspect of a request?

opaque finch
#

That's why DNS reflection works

summer robin
#

That's the problem: They don'.t

opaque finch
#

It's your PC sending the IP header in the first place

summer robin
#

Seems like a standard amplifications attack?
Hello: here's 10 bytes, this is return address.
Response: Okay I'll send 450 bytes to return address.

oak hemlock
#

So I could totally say that a request is from 0.0.0.0 even though it's not... and there's no way to verify that

#

crazy

sick olive
#

pretty much

#

assuming there is no router in the middle that will detect it is false

#

also that's why mTLS is a thing

opaque finch
sick olive
#

and why you get rickrolled if you try to access the pydis infra

#

well, it would know this route doesn't have access to 0.0.0.0, so it doesn't make any sense

opaque finch
#

Apparently something routers can do is do a routing table lookup on the source IP when a packet arrives, and if the arriving packet didn't arrive on the correct network interface, it's dropped.

#

But I guess this would slow traffic down?

deep heath
# sick olive Y mean phising kinda attack?

That would be dns spoofing, which would lead to giving wrong website for correct url, thus allowing spoofing.

As people above your message already said, it's "writing the wrong return address of a letter". Sending dns requests (which are small) with other source address, so response is sent there instead of the attacker. That's why "dns reflection attack". And dns requests are small, while responses are bigger - that's why it's also called "dns amplicitation attack" (you use dns to amplify your ddos bandwidth)

deep heath
sick olive
#

yeah i mean thats what they do in phishing no? make a small letter change which is usually unrecognizable by user and they just become middle person and serve the website but take data when a request is made and then just make requests with same data to actual site.

0.0.0.0 is actually mapped to a machine

#

Same for 127.0.0.1

#

In case someone mess up really bad

sick olive
deep heath
sick olive
#

The ARPA maps subnets that should be private to blackhole servers

opaque finch
#

It'd be hard to do effective DNS reflection if a high percentage of routers in a network applied source address validation.

sick olive
#

Used to be blackhole-1.iana.org and blackhole-2.iana.org, but people messed up their config too bad and they had to create AS112

sick olive
#

the blackhole servers generally answer thousands of queries per second
lol

#

I stand corrected though, they don't serve 0.0.0.0

sick olive
#

DNS servers can handle that load

#

They are made for that

sick olive
#

just request data changes

opaque finch
#

Looking forward to your novel, Nicky!

deep heath
# sick olive yeah i mean thats what they do in phishing no? make a small letter change which ...

Phishing is in general just saying "I'm from [bank], something happened, give me your data" and hope person doesn't verify it.
It can be connected with other attacks. But it doesn't have to be. And as I said, DNS reflection is NOT the same as DNS spoofing.

Spoofing basically means putting valid but not yours thing somewhere.

Reflection is purely DoS type of attack (generating unwanted traffic that slows down or blocks the service) that involves spoofing in its execution - on the packet level, you spoof (change) source address.
But it's not dns spoofing because you don't spoof dns, you ask a real dns to do something for you (but tell it you're someone else).
Hence wrong return address on a letter analogy.

DNS spoofing is basically as if someone asked you for third person's address and you knowingly give them a wrong one. They have no reason to not believe you. So they themselves write to what they think is that person.

A: "Hi, my grandma's name is [hostname], what was her address?" B (which is a fake dns server or mitm sniffing packets and answering before real dns can do it) answers with wrong IP. -> DNS spoofing
A writes to "grandma".
"Grandma" ask for money -> phishing involved

A sends "hi, I'd like to get address for person [hostname], please write back with info" to lots of (real) DNS servers but puts B's address as return address.
Those DNS servers will send their replies (bigger than A's original messages) to B. -> packets are 'reflected' to different person, hence "reflection", there's also more data than if A just messaged B directly, hence "amplification". Using DNS servers and DNS requests, hence "DNS reflection/amplification"

Yes, but in the 70s when they first connected a few universities it wasn't a concern.

There were no business interests that even had access to the networks.

Right.

12:49] Nicky | xe/xem they/them | ᓚᘏᗢ🌈: It's because people who created the Internet were idealists and it was originally a research network... No need to falsify anything when there's only research info or talking. It probably became different when for-profit stuff started appearing

For a fully standalone distribution, you can distribute the launcher with your application appended, bundled with the Python “embedded” distribution. This will run on any PC with the appropriate architecture (32 bit or 64 bit).

pale mesa

whatchu building hon

oak hemlock

Just wanted to test if I can use zipapp to make a standalone .exe

#

it's not going terribly well

#

although the launcher did compile

pale mesa

o

oak hemlock

I thought you literally just combined the files into one lol

some wizardry I thought

pale mesa
#

the thought of python with anything .exe terrifies me

#

i usually just use c# for stuff haha

#

hassle free

sick olive
#

oh no

ocean walrus
#

Python runs on clr now

#

Pyjion

#

Its a drop in replacement for 3.10

#

So with that, wouldn't exes be much easier

#

And it supports c modules too

#

Like cython or numpy

clear root
#

so the launcher just runs Py_Main with the zip+exe file

oak hemlock

wait did I do it backwards

ocean walrus

Pfft

exe, then the zip file is the correct format I think

like somethimg screwy with sys.prefix, or where the exe is located (which can influence where it looks for its libraries I think?)

but I have no idea how this works

so, I mostly got it to work, IDK why it doesnt work on your end, I did it with the py launcher, but python doesnt seem to recognise the zip as a zip and complains about the exe not being a proper file

must I really abandon pyenv

I mean like

Hello, world!
pliant canyon
#

#

what are u doing again?

#

Converting a Python script to an exe without external tools

#

I doubt this one is standalone

#

but idk how I'd test that lol

pliant canyon
#

send it to someone without python

clear root
#

yeah, this way it is not standalone

#

it relies on python3.dll on path

#

if you want not that, I think just placing the final.exe into the embeddable zip next to the .dll there should work

oak hemlock
#

Would I not be able to just... add the dll to the exe like I did with the .pyz?

clear root
#

no, the dll also has links to the other files python needs

#

even pyinstaller just is a self extracting archive

oak hemlock
#

right

#

yeah slapping it into the embedded Python folder works

vapid reef
#

hello

oak hemlock
#

but I'd still like to be able to make a self-containing zip app with this method

#

unless I misunderstood the zipapp page

#

For a fully standalone distribution, you can distribute the launcher with your application appended, bundled with the Python “embedded” distribution. This will run on any PC with the appropriate architecture (32 bit or 64 bit).
This part specifically

clear root
#

yeah, that's that

#

appended, and bundled with the embedded zip

oak hemlock
#

so there's not a way to make a single exe out of this?

clear root
#

to my knowledge no

#

except making it a self extracting archive

oak hemlock
#

and what are the caveats to that?

carmine egret
clear root
#

it is slow to start up

carmine egret
#

would the executable have to contain the zip archive in a data section?

#

might be easier to not zip it

oak hemlock
#

well

#

The interesting thing is that I have made a program that I could distribute without someone needing to install Python

#

granted... I'm basically making them install Python to a single directory in a loose way of speaking

#

I guess packing it into a single .exe wouldn't really help with that

#

other than to make it look nice lol

ye, that's the hard part of a team project

carmine egret

I'm thinking how this can be possible without writing some C (or go, or rust)

clear root
#

well, you need to interface with the python C API somehow, unless you go the embedded zip route and just use python.exe

carmine egret
#

python would have to be initialized, seems like, and be told how to find the stdlib modules?

#

the embedded zip route means the finished product isn't executable without a python installed, i guess

clear root
#

the embedded zip route means shipping python with your app

#

then you could just do

@ECHO OFF
REM run.bat
path\to\python -m my_module
carmine egret
#

seems like if you allow a directory for distribution, you could have python.exe be your entry executable, and add the calls to your main module (and whatever else) by adding a sitecustomize.py

carmine egret

yeah, you could also add a .pth file to the proper location IG

modify the browser, basically lol

Has anyone ever taken a real stab at updating the Jargon File after 2003?

sorry was on a call
i'll add that you don't have to do college right after hs either, or ever, at all if you don't want to
have you taken SATs/ACTs?

They all just want to be done with school

ok - i'd advise not to just 'go with the flow' and follow what your classmates do or don't do. make sure to do the research of whether a college education would benefit you specifically

#

and your goals

#

I guess it's hard because I really do not know what I want to do and frankly I'm demotivated when it comes to just about everything

#

it's just annoying because once upon a time I did have a bunch of goals

rough marsh
#

you don't have to share if you don't want to, but what happened to them? and were they short term or long term?

#

let's say long term is.. 1+ years

#

and whether someone realizes it or not, they are already on some sort of trajectory. so your actions or inactions now will compound and further you on that trajectory as time goes on

#

that can work both for and against you

#

I guess I just started doing terrible in school around the time COVID hit and over time I just didn't see any interest in much of anything after that

#

I was forced out of the school I was going to because of that

#

idk, I can't really say for sure what my goals were a few years ago... I just know that I've already burnt myself out trying to reach them

#

sorry to hear that Sad_BC but you're still in some sort of hs at the moment?
