[eternal mango]

I don't remember the first games storyline tbh

so

SPOILERS MUCH

🤣

[molten bobcat]

i am talking about Oxygen not included ❤️

[eternal mango]

I blasted through the first so quick after release, kinda regret going so fast

Took my time with the second

[eternal mango]

Ohhhh

[molten bobcat]

I'm still struggling to understand.. gas pressures

[eternal mango]

Am I thinking of another game then... I was thinking of a game on a sub?

[molten bobcat]

on a sub..?

Barotrauma.

[eternal mango]

Like, underwater

[molten bobcat]

bad colors because HDR but this

[eternal mango]

Yrsh yhsy'd yhr onr

Uhhh... fingers, move one to the left

Yeah that's the one

[molten bobcat]

I was gonna say, fuckin, c'thulu pthagn alright

HE LIES IN ETERNAL SLEEP SIR

honestly me too

[eternal mango]

Ok yeah I've not played Barotrauma, so I must just be getting confused

💯 I was thinking of Oxygen Not Included as the one I played

[molten bobcat]

do you enjoy the large Pit of Waste I have

[eternal mango]

I try not to judge

[molten bobcat]

we call that "Future Drinking Water"

[eternal mango]

Everything has a use if you try hard enough

or something like that

[molten bobcat]

my plan is

the water is polluted water

polluted water can be turned into normal water with a sieve

this solves only one problem though

its potable now sure, but it still has food poisoning germs

the solution? You boil it 🙂

So I have to transfer the filtered water into a vat, boil it, bring it back to temp, return to water resevoir.

[eternal mango]

Massive drip

[molten bobcat]

far from a perfect loop

[eternal mango]

Damn it now I can't remember the name of another game from that time... something like "try not to do", or "please don't die"

Isometric cartoony graphics survivalish game

Robot n shit

I'll remember it at 6 am, don't worry

[molten bobcat]

hmm

[eternal mango]

Don't Starve

Damn it, yes that's it

[molten bobcat]

Yo cloud, do you have any tips on finding IOCs?

Or good threat Intel feeds?

[molten bobcat]

Do you ever investigate malware campaigns for your job or just investigate compromised machines?

[molten bobcat]

I do both pretty constantly

[warm dome]

any recommendations for github alternatives? thinking of moving to gitea atm, trying to move away from anything with telemetry/data collection

[worthy narwhal]

run your own git server

[warm dome]

was thinking about it, which was why was looking into a local gitea simply for that extra comfort for lack of words, havnt done a git only server before tho, do you just use the daemon with a vm?

[worthy narwhal]

personally i have a raspberry pi that runs 24/7 and i maintain my main git repo on there (with multiple backup drives). choose a distro, setup the server, and remote into that, push changes to that remote, nothing too crazy

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols

on my pi i just use ubuntu server LTS, then install the server, and its on my local network at all times

[warm dome]

thanks i don't really have a setup where i can use a 24/7 server atm but thinking i might setup a git server and possible have it backup to proton drive or something

[eternal mango]

AWS free tier

[warm dome]

been slowly reducing amount of data given out moving things over to more privacy focus'd stuff, but ideally i'm not liking how githubs going since microsoft ownership, same thing with things like vscode to much enforced telemetry

[worthy narwhal]

you can use a VPS too i guess, like a $5 / month Linode/Akamai node is more than enough

[worthy narwhal]

yeah or AWS free, i guess GCP too

[warm dome]

that could work to actually

[worthy narwhal]

just make sure you keep a backup of it, somewhere, often, because if your VPS goes down you are rekt out of everything

[eternal mango]

Free tier has plenty of resource to run a personal git server

[worthy narwhal]

you can use a second server somewhere else thats free and setup a script to auto-send a copy over scp once every day or so

[warm dome]

yeah ill setup an aws free tier for a git server, alternative was to use proton drive and backup local version control that way

[eternal mango]

Encrypt daily and push to a free GitHub LFS storage

Down the power

🤣

[warm dome]

since i pay for proton, same reasoning really haha

[molten bobcat]

oh torn i am on what to do

[warm dome]

githubs owned by microsoft now, so trying to move away from them, keep hearing things about data collection everywhere

[worthy narwhal]

yeah i pay for google so might as well, or icloud

[eternal mango]

Yeah I get it, but your backups would be encrypted

Just throwing silly ideas, so don't take me too seriously

[muted olive]

I generally stay away from stuff starting with "i" 🤣

[worthy narwhal]

run the server on US east 1, and run your backups on US east 1 as well 🙂

[warm dome]

nah i misiread it thats kinda hillarious actually

[eternal mango]

You get 2gb LFS for free on Github

Depending on retention and history, as you obviously couldn't do diff updates as it's encrypted, it could suit you fine for some time

Anyway, end of stupid ideas, for now

[warm dome]

yeah haha ill either go with aws or just backup the files with proton drive and setit up to a git diirectory

[muted olive]

Regex search is my favourite feature on Github. Last week I rediscovered 3 old CVEs from 2015 lol

I was like oh look, new vuln, but then found out all of them are already registered a decade ago

[warm dome]

tbh i wouldnt be surprised if they lead into other stuff where people hadnt updated things

people can be lazy when it comes to dependencies

[worthy narwhal]

damn i really want a new vape rn but it’s mad late ahhh ill just suffer with the dying vape and hurt my lungs for 1 night

[muted olive]

That too. You can search for known vulnerable versions of something

Although what I usually do is search for vulnerable code patterns

Like unserialize($COOKIE[session_data]) or whatever

Hallo Falcon

Heyo

[eternal mango]

Early vulns I found with fun WP "research" was by hand, but then I automated it with common unsafe methods and variables, and then later with AST for variable taint analysis to watch for plugin / template updates, and flag potential sources for manual review

It worked very well

[eternal mango]

[eternal mango]

Hey

All good? 😄

[static pasture]

Yea im good. Are you good?

[eternal mango]

I'm ok thanks. Been doing better with sleep, but today I've ended up down a rabbit hole of a stupid personal project

so couldn't sleep for thinking of what to do next, and now I'm doing it next

wups

[static pasture]

I noticed 😂

Hopefully you figure it out!

[eternal mango]

Oh I have

and it's so dumb

but so fun

I was trying to find a configurable ticker that supports currencies and tokens across a number of common trackers for Windows, that I could just have in the taskbar to keep an eye on

None of the ones out there were m aintained, and th ose that were maintained sucked

So I made my own... and then for SOME reason the memory of those old desktop pet apps from the 90s came to mind, Dogz, Catz, Oddballz... I thought it'd be fun to show some sort of interaction on transactions, but I wasn't about to go do some pixel art

so instead it now shows the ticker in the taskbar, and shoots off desktop fireworks styled and sized based upon the buy / sell transaction values

So stupid.. but it's been fun

[static pasture]

Should have some Tomagotchi like functionality

[eternal mango]

So....

You feed it, you buy?

You slap it, you sell?

[static pasture]

That works lol

[eternal mango]

Ok this is going off the rails, again.

All I wanted was a freakin market cap ticker in the task bar 🤣

[warped plank]

when the market is bullish it should have $ for eyes and when it's bearish it looks depressed

@bingbong9

[muted olive]

Interesting, did you download plugins and bulk to review it or was there some API involved?

[muted olive]

https://tenor.com/b1Pvg.gif

[muted olive]

https://tenor.com/bTU5e.gif

[eternal mango]

It ran off of the Wordpress SVN repo

So polled for updates and analysed the changes as they came in

[muted olive]

That's efficient

and fast in terms of finding new stuff

[eternal mango]

Yup, got a load of CVEs from it, not many with high impact / high usage, but some

Gave me good experience in responsible disclosure and the CVE issuance / verification process

[muted olive]

I've been meaning to try out this method where you scrape a lot of plugins and use AI to recurse through each of them and search for vulns. You'd need an MCP server, typically I'd setup Gemini since it's free, or I'd go for Claude Code if I'm willing to invest.

[eternal mango]

Claude using their Agent Skills feature would be best for that right now imho

It's very powerful

[keen pilot]

How can I use cURL to download a file please I need guide

[muted olive]

So I've heard

[eternal mango]

https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html

Like, what have you tried, did it work, if not what happened?

[muted olive]

👀 any 9-10 ones?

[eternal mango]

Plenty of no auth rce, file inclusion, sqli etc yes

[muted olive]

I've gotten just one CVE so far, but it took so long that I'm kind of lethargic to get into the whole process of finding another 🤣

[eternal mango]

They're all documented on the blog 😉

[muted olive]

Submitted it to MITRE and they got back in 4 months

[eternal mango]

Poor old ancient no love blog

4 months?! 😮 Damn

Was quite some time ago I last had to submit one, didn't usually take more than a few days for a placeholder

Things no doubt have changed, busy times and not enough hands

[muted olive]

No reply from the vendor either

[eternal mango]

🙁 that's sad

I only had a few times where the vendor / author didn't reply along my responsible disclosure policy

But I count my WP research as pretty soft

No way indicative of general research or disclosure process imho

Other work I've done that isn't documented has gone much, much worse.. stretching to over a year in one case

That was so painful, but as it was a bank, and the bank I actually used, I had to stick at it 🤣

Ended up getting lucky and someone had a contact that knew the person to speak to

...follow 6 more months of back and forth lol

[muted olive]

I mean, reaching out to the vendor was also challenging in my case. They had almost zero info on contact etc. I found their email through the patch notes of a really old repo and sent a disclosure request to that email... no reply till date.

I've heard WP is better at response times etc

[eternal mango]

Yup, feel that one

WP were pretty decent in my experience yes

Still gutted to this day the null byte injection thing I found in cURL wasn't considered CVE worthy

Not salty at all

😠

It was very edge case though

[muted olive]

Why not? 🤔

[eternal mango]

Honestly I can't remember

[keen pilot]

Please no disrespect

I don't understand this question:

To get the flag, start the about exercise, then use cURL to download the file return by '/download.php' in the server shown above

[eternal mango]

Post in #modules please, that is the correct channel. The module section will include instructions as to how to use the command.

[eternal mango]

https://g0blin.co.uk/php-and-curl-and-null-bytes-oh-my/

[muted olive]

I feel bad for the curl team though, for all the AI slop reports they get

[livid narwhal]

...

[eternal mango]

Hah yeah.. use AI to help discover issues, fine. But VALIDATE and DEMONSTRATE

Blip blap blop the slop helps nobody

[muted olive]

Or just copy paste straight out of ChatGPT 🤣

[lusty storm]

is this a finding on a pen test, that PMF is possible to be enabled but its not enabled?

[muted olive]

Would this not have worked if you had just done curl file:///etc/passwd?

(Trying to understand what the security risk is, I'm new to null byte injections)

[eternal mango]

IIRC it was more regarding an edge case where a plugin was performing filtering based upon schema

It wouldn't have accepted just file:///etc/passwd, but it would accept a string with http in

The issue was that you could terminate the file path in the file: schema early when passed to cURL using a null byte

so file:///etc/passwd was the same as file:///etc/passwd%00http, and they both were evaluated as file:///etc/passwd and hence /etc/passwd when passed from PHP to cURL

[muted olive]

I see, interesting

[eternal mango]

So yeah.. very edge case to bypass a very basic input filter on a plugin in order to use the file: schema to access a local file, while bypassing the filter looking for the string http in the path

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68089

[muted olive]

I think this is very similar to some other kind of vuln

CRLF injection?

Something like that

[eternal mango]

Not quite, it's more the string was being decoded and parsed as is, and the null byte when processed in PHP before being passed to cURL meant the string was being terminated prior to http

[muted olive]

Ahh, got it

[eternal mango]

Technically it could've probably have been taken further to some memory corruption or sorts, but I wasn't very skilled in that area at that point, so didn't try

It was an issue with libcurl IIRC, so not really PHPs fault

Anyway, that bug report above links off to the suggested and eventual patch in the cURL interface, along with a preventative change in PHP

[muted olive]

iirc curl can do other things as well right? such as transferring data

[eternal mango]

Yup

[muted olive]

you could leverage the null byte injection to read files, and transfer them to an attacker server

[eternal mango]

It suppots many methods and protocols

[muted olive]

you could essentially clone the victim's filesystem... maybe 🤔

[eternal mango]

Honestly I don't think there was any real danger past the edge case above

[muted olive]

of course, it takes time and is bound to be noisy, but in theory you could

[eternal mango]

Memory corruption wasn't really an option as cURL parsed the information correctly, it was that they were not ensuring the provided path was not equal to the end path

The logic before was to parse over the whole input string and decode it until it hit a null byte

The updated code changed it to parse over the full path string, breaking out if it ran in to a null byte with an error

[muted olive]

Yeah so, if you could read the file by inserting the null byte, could you transfer it in a similar manner? Make an http request to read file:///etc/passwd to a webhook with the null byte niserted

[eternal mango]

Uhhhhm, I don't know, I don't think so tbh

[muted olive]

My line of thought is that if its able to successfully retrieve the file contents, it might be able to also save those file contents somewhere (say, in a variable or something) and transfer it to a webhook

[eternal mango]

but if I were to find that issue today I would've definitely dug further

Ok ok, so

It's not about fetching the file contents

That was part of the app with the weak checking

1. Does the input have http or https in? Then it's a valid URL
2. Pass it to cURL to fetch the content
3. cURL terminated the string at the encoded nullbyte
4. cURL correctly fetched the file:// path

The TLDR is that the plugin was using a filter of http existing in the input path as proof of a valid URL, but through this bug we could remove the http string from the path through the premature null byte injection, meaning we could cause cURL to fetch a valid file path and have it returned to the app

I know, it's weird

[muted olive]

Ohh okay. Then redirecting that output would have to be part of the app's functionalities for any real danger, I'd imagine

[eternal mango]

Yes exactly, the app only made the request, or rather passed the URL to cURL to make the request and then processed the results

I suppose in theory you could have done some funky shit with a samba share URL

but that's a massive assumption

[meager kernel]

@lilac cipher summarise this in Fortnite terms

[eternal mango]

especially as the issue was only present in the file processor lib in cURL

[muted olive]

This brings up an interesting vector I hadn't tested with another bug I found

[eternal mango]

I didn't think to check the other protocol libs to see if the issue existed there at the time

[muted olive]

the file part

[eternal mango]

Spill the beans 😄

Damn, I wanna run cURL lib through this workflow now to see if it finds any weirdness

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpd2y053nleo

🤣

[muted olive]

Remember the XSS through the PPTSld frame in a Powerpoint presentation?

[meager kernel]

Ew

[muted olive]

That was happening because of the fragment and the javascript handler after it

like example.com/something.htm#javascript:alert(1)

[brazen crown]

job security tbh

[eternal mango]

Haahah wow

[meager kernel]

Vibe coders should grow some balls and do real coding

[eternal mango]

lol

Use the tools available to you, but never trust them if you can't understand what they do

[muted olive]

but technically, after the # in something.htm, you could insert an arbitrary protocol like http followed by a url, and it would load it into the presentation frame itself

you could deliver malware that way

[eternal mango]

I've coded for decades, but have found integrating AI in to some workflows very beneficial

[muted olive]

imagine, a victim clicks on a presentation link and is prompted for a place to save the file (the file being malware)

[meager kernel]

If vibe coders keep increasing, we will have more apps like Tea

[eternal mango]

Well yes

if they don't use the tools right

as in just trust what is given

You still have to understand what you have, how it works, audit and test

Shipping something vibe coded without those steps, ew

[brazen crown]

and really vulnerable code

[meager kernel]

That is what I meant

[terse dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/cs2-cs2time-cstime-csgotime-csgo-gif-3752132632744748688

[eternal mango]

Not always.. but yes, possible

[muted olive]

I thought tariffs would be the word of the year for sure

[meager kernel]

Vibe coding is not a good concept

[eternal mango]

That's why you need to integrate it in to your workflow

Not let it REPLACE your workflow

[meager kernel]

"oh yea let me just play some songs and tell this fucking AI clanker to do everything for me so I can be a lazy fuck"

[eternal mango]

lol

There's a difference between just saying "hey do this", and actually putting together a decent statement of work, paying attention to what the result is, testing it, auditing

There is nothing wrong with vibe coding, if using AI to aid in coding is done correctly

[meager kernel]

The former being the one what most people do

[eternal mango]

Most

[scenic maple]

some days i think ai can replace developers but today is not one of those days ~ average engineer using ai (everyday since 2022)

[eternal mango]

That's exactly it

MOST

Saying people who use AI in coding are lazy and wrong is just a blanket statement that is incorrect

Sure, someone could just make an app in 10 minutes and ship it

[meager kernel]

Lmao

[muted olive]

When I'm hunting bugs and using AI to help, I also typically redact sensitive stuff like URLs. Because as far as I've seen, one of the biggest AI/LLM risks of the year is to feed it sensitive data by mistake and have either the provider or someone else prompt inject it.

[meager kernel]

Personally, I like rawdogging my code

[eternal mango]

but someone who actually cares about what they are working on, and using AI to help them achieve will spend time understanding and correcting provided

Rawdogging

Bruh

[scenic maple]

altho we cant disagree that people who learned to code without ai are a different breed than people who had ai

[muted olive]

That's also probably why corporates ban chatgpt from employee systems lol

[brazen crown]

i litterally 20 minutes ago got claude to critique my code

[meager kernel]

I meant not using any assistance

[eternal mango]

I know

[scenic maple]

let me guess 6/10

[meager kernel]

Rawdog seemed like a suitable word

[brazen crown]

i think it is more because employees upload pii to it

[eternal mango]

But seriously, you should take some time to learn how you can effectively and safely integrate these tools in to your workflow

[brazen crown]

didn't ask for a rating, but prob kinda low

[meager kernel]

I should

[muted olive]

Claude gives you the least shit imho
"You're absolutely right!" ❌
"Your code sucks, fix it!" ✅

[eternal mango]

I'm not saying ship to production 10 minutes after you commit to git from GPT or Claude or whatever

[scenic maple]

he says 6 usually not to hurt feelings 😔

[eternal mango]

But it's POWERFUL, and not just for coding

[meager kernel]

AI is an assistant
Not a master

[muted olive]

Agent Skills, the feature Anthropic shipped a while ago is freakin massive

[eternal mango]

Exactly

[muted olive]

"idk what im doing but pls do it for me"

master senpai AI daddy UwU~

[eternal mango]

Used correctly to accelerate, and enable rapid development under correct supervision and critique is massive

And Agent Skill, that feature

I've said it three times now, but if you haven't read up on it, do so

[brazen crown]

4.5/10 💔

[muted olive]

To be honest, I'd love to see more AI being used in other sectors, prominently on non-tech sectors

[eternal mango]

It's SO much fun to work with

and so powerful

[meager kernel]

Honestly I feel LLMs have taken away people's critical thinking skills
I think there was a study from Harvard or some big Ivy league uni which said that people who regularly used GPT had much lower critical thinking skills than those who did not

[scenic maple]

well ig he is honest now

[brazen crown]

`Why Not Higher?

❌ Data leakage makes all results unreliable (biggest issue)
❌ Misapplies scaling to tree models
❌ No way to actually compare which model is best
❌ Would perform worse in production than in testing
❌ Inefficient pandas operations`

[eternal mango]

If they have, that's their problem

Use what you have to help you work faster and think better, not to replace your freakin brain

[scenic maple]

blame python

[eternal mango]

Challenge what you see

Never accept truth without testing it as truth

[muted olive]

Recently someone came up with an AI system to detect students carrying guns. Which is a very good way to use it. It did have a lot of FPs (like picking up a bag of Doritos as a gun), but honestly training it the right way and using it the right way can solve a lot of problems like this one.

[brazen crown]

no way to compare which model is the best is a future i was already planning on implementing

[eternal mango]

otherwise we may as well just throw shit and git commit

[meager kernel]

Earlier, if you had some question, you had to search for it on Google, learn about the concepts to better understand the problem, which gave you a wider view of knowledge
Now, just plug the exact problem in AI, solution given, no challenge

I preferred the time when you had to search for the solution, learnt better that way

[eternal mango]

lol

What about before search engines

when you had to go and read books

[meager kernel]

Oh

[eternal mango]

What about before books

[cursive nymph]

Any hackers going to see tron ares 👀

[meager kernel]

You just wouldn't have knowledge

[eternal mango]

Technology and what we have available to persue knowledge and skills will always change

[meager kernel]

I'll sail the seven seas

[eternal mango]

bullshit, of course you would have knowledge

[brazen crown]

its prob more dependant on the user, like i really like learning more about the problem and actually understanding it even if i am using AI

[eternal mango]

How do you think we got where we are now

[scenic maple]

[meager kernel]

Nah, it's just that I'm lazy enough not to go out and ask people about my problem

[brazen crown]

[scenic maple]

nah thats actually a git convention https://gitmoji.dev/

[meager kernel]

I feel I would have a girlfriend and kids by the time GTA 6 comes out

[scenic maple]

issue with gpt is that it wont be able to answer new questions without SO

[eternal mango]

haahahah

[brazen crown]

yea i would rather use ai than dig through 20 stackoverflow pages

[muted olive]

You're wrong, it CAN answer them! Just that it'll be a hallucinated BS answer. 🤣

[eternal mango]

Well ok a fourth time, Agent Skills, tuning and enabling models through known datasets and programmatic interfaces to said data. When it was first released, Anthropic's Sonnet model didn't know how to work with the Agent Skill APIs

So I developed an Agent Skill dataset that taught it how to work with the Agent Skill APIs

[scenic maple]

i think in mu lifetime i have only got to the 2nd page of google a few times

[eternal mango]

Then used that Agent Skill workflow to work with the Agent Skill APIs to improve a workflow utilising Agent Skills

🤣

hehhehe, Google

[scenic maple]

but more links == better seo

[eternal mango]

I used something else

[muted olive]

Google is the best hacker tool

[eternal mango]

And NASA is an awesome target for practice

But yes, Google is great

[muted olive]

btw I got my third NASA letter yesterday

XSS again

[eternal mango]

Noice, I got a couple and one from some other gov org, can't remember which

[scenic maple]

yall hacking governments

that has to be illegal

[eternal mango]

The other gov org was an RCE

[muted olive]

I got one on SSA but I think it was either fixed, or I forgot to report it and too lazy

[eternal mango]

Nah

Many US gov orgs are under a wide VDP program

[scenic maple]

thats what cinzinga said

[muted olive]

There's a whole section on Bugcrowd which says "Hack the US Government"

[scenic maple]

i am just repeating

[muted olive]

the now-shutdown US government

[eternal mango]

Wait

It's still shut down?

[muted olive]

which is why I'm not expecting fast responses atm

[muted olive]

yes

[eternal mango]

Wow

[muted olive]

[scenic maple]

they locked me in a room

I recently actually found a password exposed on a Bitbucket repo in NASA. Turns out it was a duplicate :(

And yeah, I've seen those Gitlab repos

[eternal mango]

The repos was where I found the RCE 🤣

[muted olive]

Gitlab and Bitbucket are the most common ones they use

[eternal mango]

NFI how it was still there after so long

[scenic maple]

why dont they use github

[eternal mango]

I've got some custom tooling for osint on domains which helped too, helped to connect the dots

[muted olive]

Lol I don't doubt. I've found inactive API keys and stuff there

[eternal mango]

Oh man, some of their APIs.. WEIRD right

But yeah, very good practice

..and legal

[muted olive]

I found credentials for a service account actually

It was crazy

[eternal mango]

Haaahah oh man wiat

I hope I noted this down

There were some docs I found, with a guy leaving hints for himself for his password

One was something like... "that funny russian word nobody knows"

[muted olive]

Thing is that file wasn't really there! But it was there at some point of time, and while it was there, Google indexed it. So the search result returned the base64-encoded password in the blurb. 🤣

[muted olive]

could be just about any word

[scenic maple]

dang didnt have the full meme

sadge

[scenic maple]

did you read the full conditions of getting cubes for referrals?

[rustic carbon]

Yeah

They have done "Intro to academy"

[scenic maple]

well if all that is done please wait some time and if you still havent gotten them contact support

[rustic carbon]

Okay,thanks

[eternal mango]

They must also complete the onboarding questionnaire

[rustic carbon]

Where?

[eternal mango]

When they have registered?

It's like, the first thing they see

https://help.hackthebox.com/en/articles/7992318-friend-referral

[rustic carbon]

They have done this

[eternal mango]

Then be patient I suppose, or reach out to support

[obtuse fern]

requires at least 2 friends to recieve rewards

[rustic carbon]

Okay

[rose onyx]

two friends?

[gaunt gale]

Had job interview today but they are gonna invite me to another one which will be the last interview phase

[obtuse fern]

rewards are at 2;5;15 and whenever a friend you refer completes a tier 2 or higher module

[rustic carbon]

I’m Linux user,I don’t have friends

[obtuse fern]

the t2 one though doesn't apply if they're using the student sub

[eternal mango]

Yup, don't worry though

They know that already, they read about it

[gaunt gale]

I’m hopefully gonna have an entry level job in e commerce soon, which can lead into other jobs like IT ones

[eternal mango]

[gaunt gale]

Probably full time we’ll see

[eternal mango]

oooo cool, good luck!

[scenic maple]

i will be one

but who is the 2nd one

What's your role in HTB rn

[alpine pumice]

He's the janitor

[eternal mango]

mmm

[rose onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-scruffy-janitor-the-janitor-break-gif-22791578

[eternal mango]

special projects.. involving mops

My role was CTO, but I'm moving away from that role while still being involved with the departments I managed to focus on other tasks that contribute to HTB, and allowing for some mental health recovery.

Co-founder, also

and yes, janitor

[rose onyx]

egasp, moving away from cto?!

[eternal mango]

In tital, but I'm still involved mostly in what I did before

Just changing reporting lines and focusing on what I can best provide as benefit to the company, and as I said, allowing for some mental health recovery after a personally difficult few years (not due to HTB)

[meager kernel]

Wait COFOUNDER OF HTB??!!??

[obtuse fern]

yes

[alpine pumice]

g0bs is a legend

[obtuse fern]

him and d4rk combined beards and made htb

@eternal mango you are Nikos Fountas?

LUKS is when you set up with encryption so...

[supple plume]

You'll know when you use it

[rose onyx]

what have you been up to?

[meager kernel]

Arch users are like the swifties of Linux community

[obtuse fern]

but idk why you @ me about it

[worthy narwhal]

yep, i remember on 6.1 i believe there were some LUKS issues that you told me i probably didnt need to use LUKS unless i was paranoid xD, but it just feels kewler typing in two passwords

[obtuse fern]

until you forget and brick your system and need to reinstall

[hoary nebula]

work work

[obtuse fern]

and then reinstall ALL the tools again

[worthy narwhal]

i will never forget my super sekrit password which is the first license plate i ever had + the make of my dream car

seriously

that symbol

Must include syntax and capital lettering upon 8 characters.

even if you see it in plain text you wouldn't think it's a password

If I <= string ?

[supple plume]

no

this

[meager kernel]

What

[frail turtle]

I am ao fuckrd

[hoary nebula]

both break up

[supple plume]

the problem is this

[meager kernel]

Why are you cheating though?

[frail turtle]

Relationship problems

[meager kernel]

Break up?

[frail turtle]

I havent seen my girlfriend in almost 30 days

[meager kernel]

[worthy narwhal]

this is WILD

[supple plume]

Vro you need to install Arch asap

[meager kernel]

Istg.

[frail turtle]

I am on the latest kernel of arch

[ivory burrow]

Yeah you can declare this twice with if is_numeric<= sing
Then sing = parts in idfk fix this gpt

I think right

[cerulean bloom]

goodness

[worthy narwhal]

she is not your girlfriend anymore LMAO

[obtuse fern]

i mean if they're having a rough patch and taking time apart i wouldn't say that tbh

[frail turtle]

Were not taking time apart

[obtuse fern]

also not seeing != not communicating

[frail turtle]

Thats correct we still communicate

Daily actually

[obtuse fern]

like you way overread what Hall said

[ivory burrow]

I can't code that good but I try

[worthy narwhal]

but cheating

my gf would end me if i didnt see her after days

[supple plume]

cheap discord therapists are not going to uncheat his relationship

[frail turtle]

Due to albeit almost unbelievable reasons... i cant see her. like my whole mess is fucked it's honestly hard to talk about

[obtuse fern]

you're way overreading things

but eh

Cheating is never right to do

[green kite]

Unless you're playing wiezen, right @hoary nebula

[obtuse fern]

and you should just break up with your girlfriend @frail turtle instead of cheating on her

[frail turtle]

I am not endorsing it at all. But i need intimacy like Im in here in my apartment alone every god damn night

[obtuse fern]

ok and? that's no excuse to cheat

[green kite]

yeah I agree with Marcie

[worthy narwhal]

never right, but the irony that the girl they're cheating with is also cheating with on her own boyfriend break up with his girlfriend and get with the other girl

[hoary nebula]

secs

bro just say sex

[frail turtle]

Me too man i spent two years without getting laid

[obtuse fern]

like... your needs don't override the feelings of your girlfriend

[obtuse fern]

intimacy isn't just sex btw

[supple plume]

you can't say some words bc automod

[green kite]

get a few kids, then wait and see how much intimacy you get

[frail turtle]

No by intimacy i mean an actual fucking connection

[obtuse fern]

then that sounds like there's a breakdown of communication between you and your girlfirend

[hoary nebula]

women ☕

[frail turtle]

We barely talk but the loyalty is there for some reason

[green kite]

When we talk nowadays its usally avbout the kids

[frail turtle]

She wont let me go i wont let go

[green kite]

like your first role becomes mom/dad

[obtuse fern]

just because you speak every day, doesn't mean you're actually communicating

[green kite]

not boyfriend/girlfriend

[hoary nebula]

vro is keeping her as a backup

[frail turtle]

Sigh

[green kite]

but yeah

try to have a chat with her hallicon 🙂

if the ship is sinking anyways, better to know and get out in time

[scenic maple]

omster 😔

[obtuse fern]

have you actually communicated any of your needs to her, or are you just assuming that she knows what you want

[frail turtle]

I did twice already i told her exactly how hurt i felt and all

And she tells me i have to understand her situation, and I do but im the one putting any effort

[obtuse fern]

then break up

point blank

break up

[hoary nebula]

point blank

[obtuse fern]

it's gonna suck

[hoary nebula]

🔫

[obtuse fern]

but like

[gaunt gale]

I was reading this and about to recommend breaking up

[obtuse fern]

@worthy narwhal that passed the line

[hoary nebula]

what did he say

I missed it

[green kite]

I am breaking up with you

[meager kernel]

Man.

[green kite]

now marry me

[rustic carbon]

u know, ive been the cheater before, but at least i admitted i was a douche 💁

[gaunt gale]

Lmao

[scenic maple]

very sad to inform you guys sparkling and qeuemark are no longer dating

[obtuse fern]

but seriously Hall, if neither of you are able to move forward positively in the relationship -- then it's time to break up and move on instead of cheating on her. because ultimately that will make it 100000000000x worse in the long run

[meager kernel]

I have been cheated on, and tbh it hits you like a bunch of bricks

[green kite]

is she the same girl you were talking about a while ago when she went clubbing with her friends?

[worthy narwhal]

gud it crossed the line, so, no repeat

I had to reinstall grub from a live usb image. Just hell.

[hoary nebula]

which one

did you write any php there?

[green kite]

great show

[worthy cargo]

I got my system back. I'm not fscking with it anymore. I'm fine on 22.04 until 32.04. That's how long ubuntu provides extended security support

via ubuntu pro free for 5 devices personally

[supple plume]

Vro

I don't even need to say it

[worthy cargo]

I'll have to migrate my ZFS volumes

I'm also on BTRFS

/ is on btrfs and /home is ZFS

[worthy narwhal]

so basically you tried to clone one partition with ubuntu to another partition on the same drive, but did not remove the boot entry of the original partition?

why did you not just upgrade your original ubuntu instance? o_O

[worthy cargo]

Because it can't be upgraded, too many custom/package depends problems. I've tried like hell.

[scenic maple]

bro is not fscking around anymore

[worthy narwhal]

ohhhhhhh okay

[supple plume]

hey about btrfs, I always use ext4, is there a real benefit on btrfs?

[worthy cargo]

It's okay. Eventually I'll get around to reinstalling everything. np

[scenic maple]

faster compression

[supple plume]

that's all?

[worthy cargo]

Its a COW system copy on write, meaning instant snapshots

[supple plume]

ah

[scenic maple]

thats what sold it for me

[worthy cargo]

That's how I was always able to get back to my original system using snapshots

[supple plume]

good

[scenic maple]

echo you use arch right?

[worthy cargo]

I try an upgrade, it fails, broken package, so I restore from snapshot

[supple plume]

vro

[worthy cargo]

it's instant too

[scenic maple]

if you use the aur let me show u a trick

[worthy cargo]

literally takes seconds, because you just switch to antoher btrfs subvolume

[supple plume]

ok

[scenic maple]

https://old.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1d6zij6/small_tip_to_speed_up_aur_installs/

this will make compressing huge packages lot faster

hence package installs a lot faster

also you could run pacman in parallel so it would download 5 packages at once or so

[terse dirge]

When you install chromium and find out the download size:

Hello moon

[scenic maple]

yeah on this potato

[scenic maple]

nice dance ceald

[scenic maple]

never knew you originally from asia

[worthy narwhal]

how i remember it is that btrfs keeps track of the original volume and then keeps track of the changes sort of like a git tree, but ext4 is journaling and keeps track of file by file changes. yes btrfs is faster for instant snapshots, but, if the system grows a lot i guess theoretically keeping track of all those changes could become slower at some point. btrfs is more complicated to resolve errors in though... unless you really know what you were doing on your system.

i use btrfs cuz im constantly at risk of bricking my shit, and ext4 is just slower

[scenic maple]

first time I installed linux I went for ext4 bc I was (probably still) a beginner and I didn't want to overcomplicate and never went back to research what's good about different file systems

[scenic maple]

comparison is thief of leisure time

[supple plume]

comparison is king of learning time

[worthy narwhal]

it only came up for me after i installed parrot and i had to understand wtf it was. tbh, i don't even bother with snapshots often, i have a repo where i keep all my essentials and i just install everything in that repo whenever i reinstall

[scenic maple]

we should compare js libraries like american psycho

[worthy narwhal]

its only beneficial if you absolutely cannot just reflash lol

[supple plume]

same I keep a gh repo with bash scripts to get Arch as I want it for whenever I try to install nvidia drivers

[worthy narwhal]

F i should have done that now that i think about it

[hoary nebula]

fuck nvidia drivers

[scenic maple]

have you tried archinstall with custom config save?

[supple plume]

you start thinking about it when your system crashes more than 30 times and you don't know better than reinstall

[supple plume]

I know but that is just part of it, so I do that manually and then I run my script

[hoary nebula]

Arch has problems with multiple monitors where one is vertical

[supple plume]

also nowadays I don't have to reinstall the os very often luckily

[scenic maple]

old days were different

there was chaos

[burnt mauve]

I thought that was just a DE specific issue

Didn't realise it was arch as a whole

[scenic maple]

it probably is that

[worthy narwhal]

yep, im getting to that point now as im setting up a permanent linux machine as a C2. its a daunting task though to really get a system to spawn the way you want

[supple plume]

1 monitor was enough for torvalds to make linux

i need to rewatch the ninjago series at some point

[burnt mauve]

I've only seen the shorts of it, never watched it

[obtuse fern]

it's honestly really fun

beyond it being a lego show, it's actually well written with good serious moments that aren't undercut by the goofy moments

[burnt mauve]

Nice

[obtuse fern]
