idk i feel bad for people who mock macOS in 2025, its basically the best OS by a large margin at this point.

Most games are windows only

dusky jacinth
#

Now am I upset I have to have a dedicated copilot button

#

But it’s still great

lime trout
#

But I don’t use macOS for games

west venture
#

Exactly

#

Which most games don't

dusky jacinth

Yeah i also just have a win11 gaming computer. i dont want games on my work computer. i would just get distracted.

Can I play Factorio in MacOS?

dusky jacinth

Like I just see hollow knight on my desktop

sharp shuttle

yeah factorio is supported

dusky jacinth
#

Calling my name

sharp shuttle
#

most games are supported on mac these days

#

and they run great even without a gpu.

dusky jacinth
sharp shuttle
#

the os debate is so stupid at this point, architecture is what matters

#

if you are on x86, im sorry bro

dusky jacinth
#

ARM >>

#

It’s the future

west venture
#

No

lime trout
dusky jacinth
#

Plus its syntax looks nice

lime trout
#

Same with phones

west venture
#

Arm is good for mobile

dusky jacinth
#

Arm is good overall

sharp shuttle
#

arm is just good

west venture
#

If u can cool well arm is pointless

dusky jacinth
#

Arm is fantastic

lime trout
sharp shuttle
#

but real homies use risc-v

carmine pecan
lime trout
#

ARM being RISC and not CISC makes it harder to do ASM

carmine pecan
#

RISC vs CISC hasn't been a real thing for a long time now

#

it's just a textbook "memorize this please" type of stuff

lime trout
#

im not low level person

dusky jacinth
#

I’ve been enjoying WSL a lot though

sharp shuttle
#

Remind me what ADM is?

frail turtle
lime trout
#

Assembly

sharp shuttle
#

ohhh

#

I havent ran into an issue with ASM on ARM

#

I program it all the time

#

it runs just fine

dusky jacinth
#

I mean that’s why we have IDEs no?

frail turtle
#

ASM is for that deep nerd

sharp shuttle
#

MacOS also has rosetta, which just supports whatever architecture tbf

frail turtle
#

the nerd of all nerds

west venture
#

Bro if anything arm assembly is easier than x86 assembly

carmine pecan
#

She wasn't refering to programming it manually

sharp shuttle
#

they are basically no different.

dusky jacinth
#

Why would I want it to be harder

frail turtle
#

typical Assembly nerd

dusky jacinth
#

Ong

#

Me in 2 years

sharp shuttle
#

once you learn one language, you know mostly them all. its not different with asm

#

its just instruction names

west venture
#

Yeah the core concepts is what matters

carmine pecan
#

Except Lisp

frail turtle
#

it's just ISA

sharp shuttle
#

you are still working in the world of bits

frail turtle
#

you know the ISA that is about 7000 pages in a Manual...that ISA

dusky jacinth
#

“If you want to be a good programmer, don’t be a bitch and start with asm” -ghandi

sharp shuttle
#

The ISA that I have a chatgpt model trained on? yeah

#

thank god for chatbots

#

i aint reading all that

dusky jacinth
#

Valid

carmine pecan
#

The only way to read a 7000 page manual

#

is if you use the Paul Erdos trick

sharp shuttle
#

if you want to be a good programmer just use C, idk why people make any other argument. its the middle ground for everything.

carmine pecan

I found something out dissappointing about MDE for Linux

scenic maple
solemn lichen
#

wait

scenic maple
#

how did aen go?

solemn lichen
#

I just realized it might be completely logical

#

And I might be stupid

scenic maple
solemn lichen
#

TLDR the only inbound action type for network logs on MDE for Linux is inboundconnectionaccepted, there are no other inbound logs

#

But for windows there are inbound logs for connection request etc

#

No

#

so I nmap scanned

gaunt gale
#

I had lamb chops, tofu, guacamole, and tuna salad for my meals today

#

tomorrow will make an actual stir fry with veggiee and maybe more tofu

#

lmao

solemn lichen
#

My train of thought is messy it's a long day kek

gaunt gale
#

I did hack the box today and circuit training

solemn lichen
# solemn lichen so I nmap scanned

And I couldn't see any of the connection attempts and I therefore cannot make an inbound scanning detection. I can make an outbound one tho

gaunt gale
#

as well as an hour and a half of gaming

#

and I definitely need to to rest up a little

but maybe in 30 minutes I'll do more Hack the Box

or highly unhealthy

sharp shuttle
#

140 lbs jesus

gaunt gale
#

that doesn't sound healthy

sharp shuttle
#

im double your weight broski

solemn lichen
#

sounds like me during my restrictive eating phase ngl

gaunt gale
#

I'm like in the 190s trying to get down to 170

#

like ya

#

and its good that I am making food at home and working out frequently

worthy cargo
#

I was 195lbs 3-4 months ago. Now I'm 162 lbs. 🙂

#

That's awesome for me.

gaunt gale
#

you are an inspiration

worthy cargo
#

I didn't even have to work out or exercise! 🙂

gaunt gale
#

better to lose weight slowly so weight change can last and not rebound

worthy cargo
#

Just dieting.

gaunt gale
#

ya ok

solemn lichen
#

doing it healthily and sustainable is important above all, as long as you're doing that

worthy cargo
#

But now that I've lost so much weight, I can start working out

#

I couldn't even do a push up at 190

gaunt gale
#

wow ok

#

interesting

worthy cargo
#

now at least I can do push ups

gaunt gale
#

ya losing weight helps you lift your own body weight

#

that too

solemn lichen
#

Idk just be careful with losing so much weight so quick

#

can do stuff to your head

gaunt gale
#

I'm trying to lose 20 lbs over 5 to 9 months

#

maybe 30

#

over 5 to 9 months

#

rushing it is crazy

#

like your body needs to adapt first of all

#

and starving yourself just causes a rebound effect

#

that's why

#

and I'm taking turmeric and berberine capsules

#

every day

#

both natural supplements

#

help with appetite

#

but needs to come with diet and exercise

solemn lichen
#

I can't diet restrictively/really structured I'll get insane with it

gaunt gale
#

and be willing to cook your own food most of the time

#

so when you eat out its not as big of a deal

#

I mean can a hacker be healthy?

#

in terms of diet?

#

I'm serious

#

million dollar question

sharp shuttle
#

diet sure, but other parts take a toll

solemn lichen
#

So yum

gaunt gale
#

I know sleep is an issue

solemn lichen
sharp shuttle
#

yeah diet is the easiest to manage

#

its what you put in your mouth.

gaunt gale
#

I mean what parts really take a toll?

sharp shuttle
#

much harder for a "hacker"

gaunt gale
#

sleep obviously, but what else

sharp shuttle
#

most of the folks i work with are either morbidly obese or so thin i could snap them with 20 minutes of labor

gaunt gale
#

so ya makes sense

#

what about in terms of everything else besides diet? what about overall?

#

reason I ask is in terms of the stereotype is a very unhealthy person and a lot of the hacker community is that way

#

I mean look at how they eat at 2600 meetings or hackerspaces

sharp shuttle
#

like i said, 90% of "hackers" i work with are unhealthy, im one of them

solemn lichen
sharp shuttle
#

its a taxing job.

gaunt gale
#

who are the other 10%?

sharp shuttle
#

becasue some people take their health seriously

gaunt gale
#

I think there's a study that should be done on this

solemn lichen
#

Besides, health is an individual thing. You can't just base someone's health off weight

gaunt gale
#

ya alright

sharp shuttle
#

i define healthy as someone who is fit, mentally stable, gets enough sleep, is fulfilled in life, and has proper nutrition. id say 90% is a low number.

#

97% is probably more accurate.

gaunt gale
gaunt gale
sharp shuttle
#

yes, i can count them on my fingers

gaunt gale
#

got it

terse dirge
sharp shuttle
#

at most companies ive worked with, there is ONE dude who is healthy.

solemn lichen
#

I'm out

sharp shuttle
#

scientific? not a real thing

#

there is always some fudging of numbers

#

especially today

gaunt gale
#

I mean, there should be a study on this

#

multiple studies

sharp shuttle
#

anecdotes are always better than "studies"

#

talk to people in the industry, get different perspectives

#

who fucking cares about studies

gaunt gale
#

ok but like there should be a scientific measurement

#

because health impacts everything else

#

like everything from performance athletically to academically

sharp shuttle
#

scientific research is nearly always funded to provide deception on things that are harmful

#

please dont tell me you didnt know that

terse dirge
#

idk, I'm not that healthy and I still get shit done at work kek

gaunt gale
gaunt gale
sharp shuttle
#

yeah someone who is healthy tends to have much more energy.

gaunt gale
#

like are healthy people disqualified from working in cyber?

sharp shuttle
#

and for the most part, yes

#

this industry takes from you

#

you give parts of yourself

gaunt gale
#

ok

sharp shuttle
#

that is also most jobs though

gaunt gale
#

ya ok

sharp shuttle
#

the only job where that isnt the case is a nepo baby living on daddies credit card

scenic maple
#

i know exactly who that is Kappa

sharp shuttle
#

work is called work for a reason after all. in cyber, we sit all day, drink caffeine, and get majorly stressed when events happen

#

its pretty brutal on mental health

gaunt gale
#

ok

sharp shuttle
#

the amount of times i have been called dead in the night or while i was trying to get my rocks off with a girl to be pagerdutied into a fucking false alarm while working blue team almost killed me

#

i have respect for blue teamers who take their job seriously

#

its no joke

gaunt gale
#

ok

terse dirge
scenic maple
#

they always choose friday afternoon or 3am tho

sharp shuttle
#

like ive said before, blue team is significantly more stressful than red

scenic maple
sharp shuttle
#

and people need to understand that

gaunt gale
scenic maple
#

cause you dont get called in the middle of the night

gaunt gale
terse dirge
sharp shuttle
#

because you have a time table, scope, and resources. blue team is always on call and when things go wrong, you dont get paid overtime

gaunt gale
#

got it

#

red team on the other hand is not on call all the time tho

sharp shuttle
#

red team engagements are scoped out

gaunt gale
sharp shuttle
#

you have periods where you work

#

and there is no penalty

scenic maple
#

imo dev roles are still the best kind of job
if you can get into a company that has a lot of money and doesnt move well
you can just do standups and get paid basically

#

also the funny thing I noticed in Belgium was almost no one buys the candy and hard liquor although they are for sale. it was actually pretty rare to see that stuff in the checkout lane while waiting for your turn

#

I guess it's subjective, seeing elsewhere people buying massively more

vivid flower
#

Netherlands has a liquor called schelvispekel which sounds like its some kind of pickling agent but is actually just hard liquor. Its speculated the dutch named it that to get wives to stop bothering their husbands about their drinking

silver forge
#

I don't do much traveling as per go somewhere and sit in a tourist resort. I always want to rent an apartment with a kitchen, and go to the local grocery store, see what other people buy, buy the same stuff and go to the apartment to figure out what to make... You get to see an other angle of the place, and also do something actively.

I too noticed it

I didnt really find that to be the case in the netherlands. Most bruincafe were still pretty pricy

This economy really sucks. It costs 14 dollars to get a footlong at subway

I dont think anyone has a good time eating out these days unless they have such a good job they don't even feel it. Which is not the case for the majority of people

im too dumb for thise art

I'm always off center for some reason though, I blame having to wear glasses and the steam fogging em up 02kek

#

-# In reality I just have bad depth perception

sturdy thistle
#

which machine u have

warped plank
#

only thing is gotta mitigate a bit with the low pressure on the steam wand with more time under steam

sturdy thistle
#

and what is your matcha reciepe?

scenic maple
sturdy thistle
#

i could do an iced matcha latte

warped plank
#

There is a scale there but I rarely use it, only when I know I gotta serve to real coffee buffs

sturdy thistle
#

my shot is still weird for grinding the amount etc

warped plank
#

I guess I've made enough to get a sense of how much matcha I need based on how much stays undissolved and the taste & color

sturdy thistle
#

i use 4 g and 60 ml

warped plank
#

is that just the water or you adding some milk on top of that?

sturdy thistle
#

water

#

i also have the fancy matcha brush

torn cedar
#

Is matcha expensive? I've been meaning to try it, seems like an interesting drink

warped plank
#

I don't have a fancy brush

#

Hey anyone have any app builder platform recommendations? Like quick apps, minimal coding

Microservices

#

Are nuts

#

Imagine being able to trace user input as it crawls it's way across like 30 services.

#

Couldn't be me

#

I found what's likely an SSRF vulnerability in a frontend API and like, it throws it's response to another microservice lol.

#

And then that one throws it to another

#

And then that one does another

#

And I'm like I'm on a merry chase to just get my s3 bucket callback URL 3 services deep

Could active academy sub can access letsdefend course in the future while active vip+ could access letsdefend SOC simulation 🤔 on letsdefend

did you check the modules with the lifetime subscription? they go way way way beyond dll injection

like ETW session tracing

or process hollowing

i havent, but can you fill me in on what they entail? I just finished a ios phone hacking course doing dylib injection and rop chains, and it felt novel

but again

same shit different day

proud moth

they go way over my head, i just completed the basic modules and still have to start those, but each one is completely crazy and ultra difficult

this one for example

PPL bypass and LSAIO

sharp shuttle

interesting

#

alright ill rescind my statement that does seem new

proud moth
#

it's a nightmare and it gets worse near the end of the course, i honestly don't even know where these guys found some of the stuff in malvdev, but i do realize it's a very niche topic honestly and maybe only useful to extremely high levels of red teaming
