wow I'm past my prime on this game gang
are you top 1% thm?
THERES NEVER BEEN A MAN MORE BANNED
Not sure
Practice: 0%
Brath I'm gonna get top 1% in THM and then come get a job from you
It's gonna be how we meet
I'm gonna say
you are asian right?
"I'm top 1% in THM", and then hand you a FUM
Plot Twist Brath is actually a goth baddie
if i was a girl id be a goth baddie yes
no ๐ซ
you are a boy so instead of being called a "goth baddie" you are "autistic"
what?
yessir! No practice mode for me
oh well
I am infact white
for now
to be honest if you want to work with me you kinda have to be schizo
we do really strange projects
i cant work with easily offended people
no i dont think you are but i dont think you a normie either
I just gotta learn IoT, OT, ICS and hardware, on top of some fundamental stuff and then I think i'd be able to do it
no good at it
but I bet I could figure it out lol
Damn i'm really going for the schizo vibe
jkjkjk
ngl neurodivergents could probably take over the world if they really tried
I am totally in
Good
Earth? more like ear th amirte?
How much do you know about electrical engineering
and nuclear physics
do you know anyone who is a physicist?
get them on board
how about trains huh?
I know quite a lot about eletronics and I can deal with maxwhell equations and their corolaries.
you ever wanted to travel the country on a super fucking fast train?
nuclear physics... uh... don't count me much on that, I know some
if we had that wed not have psychos in power
You think you could learn how to operate a nuclear facility?
I bet you could
me in the middle of the circle just posting memes
yes but I would swim in the radioctive waste
technically you're safe at the surface
Look at this meme bro:
oh wait you said waste, not pool
liquefy then swim
the blue pool is mostly safe as the energy is diffused in it
YOU INFACT SHOULD NOT SWIM IN NUCLEAR WASTE
love it
no idea where this is from
okay just a liiiiittle hacking
okay so
when enumerating a sql db like mysql
and you're trying to read local files
wait nvm
I figured it out
sorry
Do "santa" comes from like... "saint" ?
"saint" comes from "paint"
that's a possible timelines yes

if you divide timelines as permutations of a single letter in the word _aint
my favorite number

this can be made to be my favorite number using only linear transformations
another level that took too long to beat 
what game
geometry dash
ah classic
buy $4,000 computer, play free games or games from the 90s
wow this game is so much easier on steam
just yall wait until duck game
lol
Duck Dodgers! on the 24th and one half century!

wait, what?
yikes gang
i went from stereo madness up to blast processing without dying once
Complted Modules
-Learning Process
-Intro to Academy
-Network Enumeration with Nmap
-Web Requests
-JavaScript Deobfuscation
-Getting Started
I'm just starting out; I've completed these modules. Do you have any recommendations?
cap, you def died a bunch on clutterfunk
Feels like sesame street,
one of these things is not like the other

Go to the challenges on HTB and do only the Insanes one
only the Insane ones
that's the recommendation
lol
Honestly just do the rest of Information Security Foundations path
I spent days trying to scale to root
i meant in like an iron man challenge
Okey sir
๐
just do all the modules


๐จ๐จ
This is now a very PG13 chat
yay
๐
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
I forgot how much I hate this level
So that's what PG13 means
Just dried the entire pacific ocean to query this
paint can you still do heap exploitation
or you like, speedlearned it just to hit omniscient
then forgot
I am taking notes on your answer
i mean its not something you forget easy
the harder to learn the harder to forget is what you saying?
idk if i was hard when i learned it
sorry what?
๐คฏ
happy xmas eve!
Half the time when I'm coding I don't even know if my variables are stored on the heap or on the stack...
Try Rust
That's while coding in Rust 
always remember guys the end user doesnt care about your stack or heap
oh the FRONTEND developer is here
I will force him to care
We heckers do
just use javascript
Remember the recent heap overflow leading to RCE in fucking minecraft
usually the guys who care arent customers 
there's attacks for that too
browser pwn is a thing
i have only one issue with this
javascript doesnt scale on large systems
i learned it the hard way
typescript?
same shit
*ehem* php filter chain deserialization 
Oh this is not browser pwn
do you want to see browser pwn?
it can kill a man
Sure
not with that attitude
just use more threads, oh wait...
just use async, oh wait...
use go or java when on larger systems
Rust

this is the only writeup in the whole internet so
nobody knows rust at large companies
Blooded by @long forum because fucking of course it was blooded by Pyp
and I know you just woke up Pyp
Happy Xmas Eve
does he know spanish?
no
chinese maybe
English and Python
meanwhile half the internet getting taken down cos some idiot left a .unwrap() in cloudflare
exactly no one knows rust at big companies
even rust newbies like me know to always use: unwrap_or() 
can't say fanboy without saying femboy eh?
๐ฉ
I couldn't care less if anyone uses the language, I use it cos I find it nice.
ok
lmao
so far i've avoided the plague; i shall not falter
click it Marcie

hello fellaas


Sorry, I was sleeeeeeping. It is tooo cold man here. Whats the matter 
It's 100 Fahrenheit here (33 Celsius)
Cold? How cold we talking about?
16 C I think at 6 AM when he messaged
now it is 30 C
๐
I was freezing at 16 and you are flexing minus 
Imagine having the central heating system turn on 
There is no stuff like that here ๐
It was freezing and the muscle soreness from yesterday's gym workout, damn.
You as well ๐ฅถ
lol
Now I wonder why Ryan might have summoned me ๐ค
To pull your leg
Funny at 6 AM 
cold world
and the integral of this other day is even hotter
is vro doing math
always
only one way to find out 
I summon you @untold fiber to know why I was summoned 
bro is limited by the timezones of his time
idk if he reached yet but he time travelling to the past.
Wait until you see 2200 uk
it was so much worse
haha
I guess you misunderstood. He was flying to the US
why would he fly to us
xmas
year end family?
ow i see
then he be sleeping
yet
whats petals plotting
i dont think u can stab with a saber
it's a hot stab
it is a concentrated beam of light
concentrated light can too
Damn that's true
Polariton superfluid is predicted to be a state of the exciton-polaritons system that combines the characteristics of lasers with those of excellent electrical conductors. Researchers look for this state in a solid state optical microcavity coupled with quantum well excitons. The idea is to create an ensemble of particles known as exciton-polari...
although, problem with the concentrated light theory: how can they block eachother
redundant wordings
because techno means application
and i will do it again
we are severely limited by theory
saying this as someone who actually studied and learned modern physics: Quantum Mechanics + QFT and General Relativity
We don't know shit
when will we know shit 
After the education revolution in 2087 things started getting a little better
once I get into physics
2087?!
are you in the future?
fuck
Theoretically speaking of course
by 2087 i will probably be dead
...
guys if i am here do some charity in my name
ok
I'd be 76
I'd be dead at 76?!
you died at 51
lmao why not
You should've been more careful with that lake
wait, so I was famous, no?
if he told you it wont happen
what lake
I never swim in lakes
I never drink water in lakes
๐
maybe at 51 a cirmustance will arise
when you have to do it
and thats when u will die
what circumstance
but here's the thing
MrPetals knows how I die
if you know then it wont happen
maybe he knows eveyrhting
Nah man, I just looked at your sheet
what sheet
๐ฅฑ
its like ur life report
from whom
everything u did and how u died
the govt
u can look up dead people and relive their lifes as movies
the government had files on me?
govt has files on everyone
means I was important
Ok so I am actually allowed to tell you guys about the 2087 wars on education
uhuh
we will be dead by then
rather tell us when is the water wars
bro he already told u
u die at 51
ur 14 now
do the math
Oh we solved that
bro, I'm in the far future
u wont see 2087
No Fusion though hate to break it for ya
loads of fission yes
ah, good
we already have fission
But not loads of it
not to the extent of 2087
true
i wonder how many kids i have when i die
Ok so around the middle of the century we started seeing those guys who were super obssesed with effectiveness of stuff, including learning itself.
good luck
@carmine pecan you know?
So they were optimizing everything and having sucess with that
uhuh
was I one of them
They had techniques and they were consistently showing they could learn 4 years of knowledge and skills in like 5 months or so
Bijuists is how we call then today
dang thats peak
yeah
so a uni degree in 4 months
They had some flaws, like being elitists
But here's the catch
they could do that, and they were trying to teach that
but no one would listen right?
so things got messy eventually
as they separated
true true
and some of then got violent
and you guys need to understand this
we are talking about people who learn 4 years of skills in 5 months
When those guys get violent
...
right
makes sense
a violent mess
So that's what happened
And now we have a whole different education system
that is mostly based on eastern ideals instead
what edu system
so which side won the elitists or the normies?
the elitists won
or was it a truce


by a lot
so that must mean you are en elitists cause normies are all dead
they actually have a position in the world goverment now
Yeah my granddad was I guess
I am just here to yap
I see lol
i see
back when AI was allowed and stuff
so, rn?
greetings earthings ๐ฝ i am the representative from the interdimensional lizard faction ๐ฆ
yes
no such thing
only the donut faction
@undone fossil quick eat him
resistance is futile
Petals, how many children do I have when I die
1
now that is a lie
no way I have only 1 child
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m__iJSvTIWQ i should really stop watching doomer vids ๐ญ
but this guy is too good at convincing me that "it gets worse" is the real deal
it does
we're in the terminator timeline for sure

Even though it's Pentest role
Maybe work on your work time

:santaclausbackflip:
i think (as someone still in highschool) the biggest apt comparison that made me wake up to my senses
was the fact that gaming companies primarily profit off of whales instead of f2p players
so companies might have their services just target wealthy 1 or 0.01 percent
this is true for most f2p games that operate off a gacha model
instead of the entire consumer america
most gacha games aren't made for consumer america
genshin mihoyo in general
they are imported from China
whats f2p
china number 1
free to play
china number 1
yup
@viscid sparrow those aren't generally marketed to the US; they are Chinese Games with a US market. Gacha is a big thing in CN
an den
it's why it's one of the default things whenever you see any CN based game
Chinese gacha is insane lol
just depends on how predatory they want to be
predatory
Still genshin is pretty fun even without paying
Bro china makes computer chips i wouldn't want to make them angry
They keep it fresh with new gamemodes and reactions
Ich habe nicht verstanden, was du gerade gesagt hast?
Taiwan mostly
nein ich de jaja
for example: 'Where Winds Meet' has a Gacha component on it that's primarily for cosmetics
Which is not a country ๐
lmao ok
perhaps
gee i wonder where you'd have seen them from
hmmmmmmm
were you banned from THM?
it takes effort to be banned from THM
yeah still haven't been told why when i had every insane room done
yup I know who you are
bro
my account is still in the top 9% lmfao
lol
I remembered your pfp lol
donut keep at it you will land a great job one day homie
I wish I had that much motivation when I was your age
it comes with side effects
source: experience

side effects ay?
i blame irc
I said nothing
I said nothing
lies, now tell me 
lol
why do we always crash out but never crash in
I can teach you to crash in
Just remember ohhh darn I'm out of scope by remembering

First do this pose

then apply torque to the head from chin to forehead
this will crash you in

This one crashed in

idk why it doesn't embed for me unless i gotta rank up
gotta become hacker
yes you gotta rank up
im trying ive been stuck on last resort for 98 hours
Nice pwn challenge
lol
i can get code exec and still can't find the flag lmao
tf
like it works locally but not remotely is what you saying?
yeah
Hey after Last Resort do Blinded
it found a random flag that wasn't the flag i was so confused and not the place holder flag
it's overranked, its more like Hard not really Insane
there's only 15 solves because people are easily scared
blinded is binary reverse engineering right
its a rop sploit i think
good luck
like i understand how to do it but when it comes to gdb and asm my brain goes numb
I know syscalls
so you just use strace?
that's peak man
But like this you can't do heap exploitation though
gotta level up
๐คทโโ๏ธ
like this you can only pwn stack
and format strings I guess
na i understand how to do it but it could just be the fact im doing it on debian
Port all the blackarch and kali tools then ur on super debian
You mean docker
lol
ever ran a docker inside docker

like it's made me think more than normal like I spent 3 days straight on it
and had to take a break
u found all the breakpoints im guessing
well actually it was 9 days and 11 hours and 49 minutes
yeah bro it's actually hard asf
so 9.5 days
This is not what my visual code say
i don't sleep i just go on standby
sleep is very important
it is, yes
Nice what jhana?
listen to clasical music it makes ur brain smarter i hear

ok now im root
reeee
good god that's a terrible thing to do
lol
well... if I did it was hidden from me
like the module/library did it for me
so
I think that's a no
It's more useful if you are doing Cryptography challenges
And it's part of my degree
But I was just wondering if it's ever useful in cybersec
sudo journalctl -u ssh -n 100000 | grep -Eo '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
who been trying to brute me boxes lardy dar
IF it was useful in cybersec, I would have studied it with more concentration
Yeah same lol
I also did Computer Science
I remember manually coding data structures in Java
and hating every second
c is goated
yeah C++ is great for cyber
Specially if you dive deeper into Windows stuff, which is also useful because Windows is everywhere
ever made a program in delphi well that's what it's like to drive a ford f-150
True
really?
Btw Petals what OS do you use
so my C++ skills actually come into handy?
Yes
lets gooooooo
if you wanna make video games enjoy diving deep into someone else's csharp code
NixOS and Exegol on laptop, and I have a Windows Desktop for hashcat and other stuff.
Microsoft will remove all c/c++ code from windows before 2030.
Nice
So Rust?
rust.
impetor you know that like
Yea it'll all be vibe coded no?
microsoft won't use nt configs in the future jk
There's code in Windows 11 right now, that is dating back from 1997 right?
probably yes
that would be windows nt sir
Yes
If Microsoft gonna vibe code stuff then I might as well just permanently move to Linux and delete windows partition
exactly
They were the original vibe coders man
oh some parts are much older. for example the headers for smb are from 1980
before AI
My experience yesterday with linux was fun
I really enjoyed the simplistic nature

Damn, and I thought my contribution to DVD drivers in Linux was old
They did it for the vibes and enjoyment, not for money or greed
according to the edge browser on xbox it says my xbox one is windows nt ๐
im confused
Why are you lurking
Go do something
NT LE
the deeper you go, the more you realize that this is effectively how windows is
Vro Im waking up reading your shit
Is that some sort of rock band
yes
Intel designed smb and released it at 1980
I learnt the protocol myself from the original paper.
you can see your rank here @solid aspen
@muted olive I tried out Arch linux yesterday baremetal, riced it a bit here and there
It was a fun experience
Would recommend to you too
NT LIVE FROM DOS ๐ถ ๐ธ
So this confirms SMB is a backdoor
Sure I'll try it
bruh you didn't connect your account with discord, you can't see
go learn who NLTE is
Also it's possible some NT kernel code is even older than 1980 since some of the code was ehm borrowed from VMS
lol
I โค๏ธ SMB
The B in SMB stands for Bitches&Backdoors
The guy that made task manager is pretty cool i like watching his videos
I'm not saying old code is bad, it's just Microsoft is hitting reality. New coders simply don't understand half of the code base.
oh so intel
so like... if I studied this right.
SMB stands for
Seamless
Microsoft
Backdoor
I liked the simplistic nature of Arch and the particular rice I used
Coming back to windows, I felt the entire settings and process of deleting apps has become harder and harder over the time
Linux felt more simple, everything was where it was supposed to be, no process was obfuscated
There was no "login into onedrive" or "create microsoft account"
NVIDA NO VIRUS INSTALLED DURING ALPHA

Yes Linux is direct control and the more experience the more direct it gets
Unless you use snap, because in that case fuck you 
I haven't, yet
"You can't move this folder because it's in use by another program"
I like AppImage on Linux
Lmao yea windows experience

you know what keeps windows alive .exe
Wtf kratos
I'll try it out again today, hopefully all my games work
Windows has stopped responding
I hope they do as well
BSOD ๐
using windows is like having tax on your RAM
30%
Monke Tax
I'll daily drive it for 30 days, if it works without any issues, then I'll switch to it entirely
what, crumple zones in code?
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
testing some stuff; why do things gotta be complicated ;=; was wondering why this hash file was being dumb: turns out -> it was because of how i generated the file (windows powershell) it added a fuckton of spaces 
Ik LoL doesn't work cause of vangaurd
no macros on gen chat please
yeah
I switched in the 90s and haven't really looked back unless it's playing video games
Kernel goes vroom vroom
I told you this a couple of weeks ago and you told me I'm an idiot I don't know how to use ctrl C ctrl V I should use windows
awww ok
๐

so instead of testing path/to/file.ext it was trying to find path/to/file.ext
how do i make my powershell open with flask from my website heh
Which distro
how?
I switched after XP
everything since XP has been dogshit
so I dualed..til they forced updates
then it's been straight Nux
I don't man I liked Windows 9
Listen listen
Windows commits 8 GB out of my 32 GB ram for only it's OS
When I riced windows, it was using 15% CPU and 37% RAM ON IDLE
when I riced linux, it used 1% CPU and 3% RAM on Idle

Arch, riced
Mac's can't get a virus remember when people said that then ssh backdoors happened
Look who is adverticing arch
MonkeOS
So you're becoming a loyalist dog to the arch users I see.
See I've always admitted that Windows also has its shortcomings
Lmao
Nah I just liked the experience
Windows has shortcomings and Linux has bigcomings is that right
I like the particular rice I used
I used Niri with DankMaterialShell, it's a quick shell
can we get a bios made entirely out of javascript plz
I'm not saying a person needs Arch..but...at this point, many forms of Linux are perfectly fine
I like Niri more than Hyprland
Hyprland is tiling window manager
Niri is Scrolling window manager
Scrolling is way better
Genuinely
You can get Windows of old usage out of so many forms of Linux and you'd maybe need like 10ish commands max to learn to really take it places
how bro felt writing that
I've seen enough
Good thing about Windows is stable video driver ABI. The rest is pretty much either trash or stolen from actually innovative companies.
Ubuntu, Mint, cinnamon, Budgie, Parrot, all that
Use gentoo it's better for you
Gen2
All those are stable and you can use them like Windows, even make them look like Windows
I used to run breakme for couple years, and it was just insanely good
Before Gen2 there was Gen1 (FreeBSD)
they function like Windows except for the inherent Linuxness, which again..10ish lines really makes or breaks you
I bricked an xbox with gentoo once
@muted olive dude one more thing
My UNBLOATED windows uses 200 GB SSD storage
My BLOATED arch linux uses 20 GB only
if you can sudo apt update/ sudo apt upgrade, those 2 are really enough to survive until you have a problem
the remaining 8ish theoretical lines of Linux are for those who can
20 GB?
I tidied once Windows XP to use only 30 megabytes of disk space.
thats a bit high tbh for arch
edge://quit now make this work before load as soon as the browser renders and set it as the home page for ethical research
Yea, after ricing and installing some shit
ah
That's why I said bloated
It was bloated
Cause I was trying out packages
Tux the Linux's mascot is fat
Pretty sure you can tidy up Windows 10 to use less than a gigabyte in total, but the next Windows update just re-installs all the bloat
why does odopen://open open one drive
this is a reference to bloat
But still only 20 is impressive considering for a windows user
tfw i found an easier way to fix the lines but i'm already at the sunk cost fallacy of doing it in vi
you mean vim
I had a laptop that died...shop put Budgie on it, it came to life
same difference
windows is why we have vm escapes the more you know
I put mint instead of budgie, it stayed alive
long story short: fuck windows adding spaces
so vm escape is just windows escape?
eventually laptop died from age and what not but like..Windows stopped caring at a point..and yet Nux got the job done at bare minimum reqs
I BLAME DNS !
UTF-32?
Blame Kratos
Tf I do?
global warming is the problem ๐
I will make it colder for ya, prepare yourself
yes; though the tool dos2unix did the heavy lifting of converting it to a unix friendly file
yipeeeeee
You yap
True
yapping is strictly prohibited on this chat
Nono, go UTF-256 to be future proof when the aliens take over
guys what happened to adobe shockwave flash player?
long story short; i should have just used
cat hashes.txt | awk '{print $1 " " $2}' > fixed.txt
Adobe stopped. There are still tricks to get the old versions running.
instead of trying to unfuck the long lines
UTF-512 for when the aliens take over the previous aliens
the only other thing i had to unfuck was windows truncating the lines
DirectX
UFO-512
No one codes flash games anymore ๐
but i fixed that in vi with: :%s/\.\.\.//g
UTF-96
but I got it down to 0 files failed :D
just had to deal with pesky spaces
nano
What do you prefer
i like a challenge so nano
Ew
all this bc i'm thinking of installing a fresh parrot VM instead of upgrading, so file transfers
Fair
Vro VIM
actually before nano it was piko
I use VS codium if I'm writing a big program
Vim when it's just small text editing or making minor changes
atto was before pico
fun fact: if you use vim mode in Obsidian, you can use the 'sed' commands (:%s/x/y/g)
30k lines of text one error but it looks good oh u misspelled something bruh
I like VS Codium rather than VS Code cause it's un-microsofted
You can use a vim extension in codium btw
Ik
honestly
sed helps so much
i enjoy vim mode purely because I can do more stuff that i would otherwise need to install a plugin for
pushd /tmp for later
hello
(there's a regex find/replace plugin, but it feels better in vim mode)
Guys I am doing it right now, I am coding UTF-48
I could probably write a whole thing on using obsidian atp with how much i've messed with it 
mermaid diagrams are lowkey goated
UTF-48?!
thats like 57 hours behind me
https://mermaid.js.org/ this thing
UTF-1 
Has anyone here ever tried Spotify TUI?
ye, it's in obsidian
I wanna try it but I'll like some reviews of it from others
I think obsidian is great
Try WTF-69
use rot13 encoding more better bro
I would read it Marcie
it's being integrated into stage 2 of phase 1 of my note rewriting; stage 1 is note condensing
ty this is really cool
so instead of having 20 files for one module; i condense it down to a handful so 1/3 in most cases
Taking notes is a skill that I envy people that have it
i'm using the subheading of modules as the delimiter; for example (Linux Fundamentals)
title - Introduction
# Linux Structure
# Linux Distributions
# Introduction to Shell
good good
That looks like godbolt decompiler
fun fact you can recolor the points in a mermaid diagram :) I'm going to be unifying a LOT of stuff. Including my canvases that I use for the practice labs
I have a color schema I like; so I'll be sticking to that
soo.......... pink
Yes I use pink theme
:) at a glance I can see what is informative; what is a flag; and what is an exploit/escalation path
Is it because you (for some reason) need to see the disassembly? Just wondering whether there's a specific reason honestly
(this is my canvas for the Getting Started - Nibbles sections)
This is great I will need to learn mermaid diagrams better
this isn't a mermaid diagram
I seriously doubt we would have designed the UTF as it is if we didn't have to build it on top of US-ASCII. Especially the ability to create illegal runes which break 99% of the parsers bothers me.
I am a low-level nerd and I care about the assembly
being generated
and I will often optimize other's people code to avoid execution unit pressure
I'm going to use this in tandem with a mermaid diagram on the main page that links to it to simplify the flow
or atleast try
Honestly same, I like doing reverse engineering challenges a lot 
I prefer binexp
This looks great, but how much time does it take to create it?
so instead of all the details it's simplified to:
- Scan
- Identify open ports
- Check for vulns on ports
- branch if needed
- Exploit
- Post-Exploit
- Priv-esc?

^ for the mermaid diagram
i mean it's quick if you do it as you go
The pain of wanting to optimize this but knowing premature optimization is death
most of my coloring was done after the fact
canvas is a way for me to write out my process on a posterboard
bah but it can't matter SIMD wouln't help because branchs? and I assume this is all cmovs in the assembly.
fuck it isn't
kill me
Makes sense, so you document your boxes through these diagrams? The screenshot isn't mermaid, what do you use mermaids for
simplified processes
mermaid is a way for me to step back from the low level, and diagram the process at a high-level
also mermaid is a cool name
so instead of all the details I can go from:
start -> scan -> vulnerability -> exploit -> priv-esc
it's a habit i'll need to grow into
what is thist
So for each box you do, there's two diagrams in your Obsidian for it?
But why? Do you find it beneficial to take this extra step of creating a second, abstracted diagram? Sorry but I am just trying to figure out why that lengthy documentation makes sense
this is just a scrape of wikipedia
No, Elon finds WikiPedia too left-leaning. So it's a modified scrape 
reporting; and helps me to make sure I understand the process and can describe it to a layperson
can you describe it to your grandma?
i.e. does mr c-suite understand that a -> b -> c
whereas canvas is more like technical documentation
it is not a scrape. it's scrape + auto-editing by grok
this is wholly for myself. I really don't expect too many people to use mermaid diags themselves
Grok did good
so it's not a rock, it's a boulder?
yeah and many pages are actually much more informative and give a more balanced view on the subjects - it's higher quality in overall than wikipedia
thanks Petals, i knew someone would get my ref
yeah there's some subsects in Wikipedia that are... terrible to put it mildly
higher quality on average
i've seen some subreddit threads of people talking about how they had VALID EDITS with SOURCES get reverted
Oh their article on Buddhism is still shit
well, wikipedia allows people to "own" a page and patrol it for changes adding information they dislike. so many pages are extremely biased
yeah, it sucks, it's also INCREDIBLY difficult in some instances to get a wikipedia page made. like for an influential person
or a micro-celeb type person
not a hollywood celeb or at the least like a c- or d-list celeb
Grok who was MarcieLee
was an American hard rock and melodic rock vocalist, born male in South Bend, Indiana, renowned for a powerful tenor range that propelled her to prominence as lead singer of the 1980s bands King Kobra and Signal before fronting Unruly Child in the 1990s
By age 15, MarcieLee began performing locally as lead singer and drummer in a band he co-formed, developing self-taught vocal abilities characterized by a powerful, melodic range suited to rock styles.
the point of encyclopedias was that someone who doesn't have any skin in the game gathers and presents a balanced view on all the subjects. when wikipedia allows people who care too much about the subjects (separate topics and pages) to be masters of those pages, things go awry. some people have tried proving for decades that wikipedia is high quality because fact checking every sentence there yields true. no, that's just utter bollocks. on encylapedia what is not on pages matters more. you need to include all relevant information even if you disagree with it. and thus, wikipedia is a cess pool, always has been.
@obtuse fern this true?
Grok said it is
Grok Said it, so fuck it may just be true
exactly
lol
honestly my favorite subgenre of tweets is when people try so hard to get Grok to agree with them 
I see you offer mentorship and tutoring
been offering for well over a year; it goes beyond the hints and pushes in #modules :3 (it's also another reason why i'm rewriting/reformatting my notes)
I see
but it paid 
I don't have money
same
MarcieLee taught me how to build my own nuclear weapons and now I own the world 10/10
maybe I should do the ctps test some day.. I'm just a sloth 
and I am just a purple tree
yet I'm buying CPTS exam lol
yet we live
At least the benefit of me being a mod; I can take the exam at my leisure
leisure
atm; i have no leisure, or a suit... and fuck i'm not even Larry
I did the ctps path, I have just final lab undone. knowing I should focus on something for couple straight days probably is not very enticing. lol
Laffer 
I just want to ask your opinion on something: does the CPTS path teach you the things you need to know to pass the exam?
Oh yes it does. Every single thing you need.
did you take the CPTS?
I have been too lazy to take the test. Maybe one day.
impetor is the creator of CPTS this is why his role is purple

gonna be so real with you; don't worry about getting EVERYTHING in AEN - focus on a path forward first, any extraneous flags that are outside the main path will be asked. Just try and capture flags that would be in the 'usual suspect' spots (i.e. C:/users/username/desktop/flag, C:/users/administrator/flag.txt, /home/user/flag.txt, /root/root.txt)
