Hello guys

[alpine nimbus]

Welcome, kratos

[turbid goblet]

im still not clicking these just get hacker rank brother

[meager kernel]

Theres a planet called "ur anus"

[turbid goblet]

yeah exactly lol

[alpine nimbus]

Let me phish you

Sorry, man - I wasnt being serious

I tend to just type whatever sometimes when my brain is fried

[meager kernel]

College exams today

[turbid goblet]

rip gl

[alpine nimbus]

Uni for me. Math is hard af and ethics isnt my strong suit.

[eternal mango]

I'm sure I recall reading some recent research in to potential large bodies far out but still within and an influence to our solar system.. but trying to find it when it's not in my history in the absolute slop out there is frustrating

Maybe I dreamt it up

[meager kernel]

Isn't college same thing as Uni

[eternal mango]

Nah

Well

In US maybe?

College and Uni in the UK are different

[meager kernel]

In my country its considered the same

[turbid goblet]

r u sure ur not referring to dwarf planets

[eternal mango]

Not sure how the term is used elsewhere

[iron galleon]

A HYPOCHRONDRIAC, I THINK OF YOU, BLOOD PRESSURE SPIKES

[eternal mango]

I'm very much not sure

[alpine nimbus]

Im at a higher level

[eternal mango]

I'm sure I read something a few months ago, but I Google is littered with references to our lizard overlords

[meager kernel]

My bad for bothering you kind sir, who is at a much higher level than I am

[jagged storm]

https://tenor.com/view/dalek-explain-doctor-who-gif-5490200

[eternal mango]

In 2016, researchers at Caltech announced their belief in what they call Planet 9 (or sometimes Planet X), while a proposal for a Planet Y came from Princeton in 2025. - yeah, as you said, Kuiper belt objects

[alpine nimbus]

Im at such a higher plane of understanding than you that I'm a skid while you're a hacker

[meager kernel]

Lmao

I should try for Pro Hacker when I get free

[jagged storm]

New ranks, tho

[turbid goblet]

planet 9 is a lazy name

[alpine nimbus]

Im 2 years in and the closest I got to learning my career is how to setup a tunnel in Windows XP

[turbid goblet]

if i found a planet im naming it my last name

[eternal mango]

Finally, there's one of them

(not a kuiper object, a meteor)

[meager kernel]

Wait so concept of hacker pro hacker is gone entirely?

[jagged storm]

Go check the site lol

[tough oyster]

@summer urchin gotta stay dedicated. Even in a fast foot restaurant hahah

[alpine nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-there-is-no-spoon-talking-kid-gif-17690655

There is no list

[meager kernel]

Larp larp sahur (jk pls dont ban me)

[turbid goblet]

rem do cicada

very fun\

[tough oyster]

Already done i think

[turbid goblet]

ah nice

[alpine nimbus]

@jagged storm

Two frames side by side.. either the plane was reversing very quickly mid air, or..

[jagged storm]

... what?

[eternal mango]

Suppose it could've been an iridium flare from a satellite?

[alpine nimbus]

I was asking where your new list was

[eternal mango]

Must've been, those were two ten second captures looking at the metadata. Way too long lived for a meteorite

[dusky jacinth]

Unfortunately I am not a physicist

[rose onyx]

It's often the most easily explained answer

aliens

[jagged storm]

What are you talking about

[alpine nimbus]

[jagged storm]

... what

[alpine nimbus]

Oh ffs nevermind

[prime heron]

ah yea

[rose onyx]

#📣-announcements ?

[prime heron]

am i goated or what

[alpine nimbus]

Thank you

[dusky jacinth]

Not even level 100

[prime heron]

balright

ts you?

[jagged storm]

Why would that be my list?

[dusky jacinth]

Who said my rank anything to do w you being lvl 100

[alpine nimbus]

You told kratos to go check the site for it

[dusky jacinth]

Get to hacking bro

[prime heron]

you said "not even lvl 100"

[prime heron]

you should

you have 15 boxes

get that up to like 100

[dusky jacinth]

You’re the one who’s not lvl 100

Get to hacking

[prime heron]

you're level 50

thats probably bad

[dusky jacinth]

Gramps

You’re the one not lvl 100

That’s all I’m saying

[prime heron]

we're both not lvl 100

[turbid goblet]

TE1M is a higher level than me wtf lol

[alpine nimbus]

Me who's LVL 1

[dusky jacinth]

I’m pulling your chain gamer

[dusky jacinth]

I do boxes and academy 🤪

[prime heron]

wtf lol

[turbid goblet]

we lost the plot

[prime heron]

ong

kami

you have to do more active shit probably

[dusky jacinth]

Go do all the easy boxes and the entire CPTS path

[alpine nimbus]

Well inactive boxes never counted, far as I know

[dusky jacinth]

Plus some medium boxes I got user on when I was bored

[turbid goblet]

yeah im slacking on academy

[prime heron]

exactly

[prime heron]

academy counting towards level would be interesting

[rose onyx]

they do now

[turbid goblet]

it does i tihnk

[alpine nimbus]

P2W

[prime heron]

especially if your level contributes to your "legacy rank"

yea thats p2w

lmao

omniscent = 500$

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah cause if you have a sub you get all academy answers no?

[turbid goblet]

guess ima go read some academy before bed

[prime heron]

something like that

[rose onyx]

wen /rank command? gotta flex that GM ||| lvel 110

[dusky jacinth]

I didn’t do that

[meager kernel]

I dont think the new ranking system affects HTB's content in any way

[alpine nimbus]

AND access to inactive boxes (WORTH POINTS)!!

[dusky jacinth]

I just paid for da one course

[meager kernel]

I still love the content

[jagged storm]

They're working on updating roles

[meager kernel]

HTB is considered industry standard, atleast where I live

[dusky jacinth]

Well you can just level up for free if you have an academy sub technically

[rose onyx]

over a third of the server is just going to be grandmaster

[dusky jacinth]

Which would be extreme case

[meager kernel]

If you have CPTS, you're pretty much guaranteed to get hired in India, since pentesters are not that common here, and you'll instantly get job offers

[dusky jacinth]

Cause those subs are not cheap

[jagged storm]

I don't think it's that much lol

[prime heron]

rich mgee

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah idk why that got deleted

[prime heron]

it will be prob

[dusky jacinth]

Go ahead and put this back on the right message too

[rose onyx]

I pulled all teh stats for my team 1/3 GM 1/3 master/prodigy 1/3 prof/skilled

[prime heron]

ask @alpine nimbus to as he was the original sender

[alpine nimbus]

Didnt think it contributed to anything. Was just a quick impulse.

[turbid goblet]

i better win the giveaway or ima scream

[meager kernel]

You could but it would be pretty stupid to just put all academy answers just for a level up, without actually learning the contents of the Academy module

[jagged storm]

But that's in a team. Way too many newbs on the server

[dusky jacinth]

Like I said. Extreme case, but it will happen

[prime heron]

if academy boosts your level, and your level contributes to your legacy rank, you can buy omniscent technically

or guru

by using htb services

[meager kernel]

Hopefully wont be that common

[rose onyx]

fair, but my points still stands

[meager kernel]

I do wanna get the green colored Pro Hacker

[dusky jacinth]

Prolly not cause they expensive asf

[jagged storm]

Gonna see some people downrank, too

[prime heron]

i was gonna grind for elite hacker

but you deadass need to do every active box and challenge

[dusky jacinth]

Me grinding this whole week for hacker

[prime heron]

hopefully this new leveling system balances it out

[dusky jacinth]

Only for me to be .45% short the day before a new xp system drops

Pretty upset

[alpine nimbus]

I think its great for the rest. Doesnt punish Academy time or blue teamers. I just think that making inactive boxes score points makes it P2W for leaderboards.

[prime heron]

yea true

[terse dirge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1481405169378791519/1492337134797852753/00c61e35-1cd8-406f-acd0-3d38f469e7be.gif

[prime heron]

you have to pay for academy too though

[jagged storm]

There. Are. No. Leaderboards. For. This. Rank.

[turbid goblet]

leaderboards is for season

[prime heron]

so your new xp level doesn't contribute to your legacy rank

[alpine nimbus]

You dont even know what Im talking about

[meager kernel]

I remember back in the day when doing all easy boxes gave you hacker rank 😂

[turbid goblet]

he does but ur misunderstanding lol

[jagged storm]

No, two different systems

[dusky jacinth]

I did them all 😭😭

[prime heron]

god damnit

so i still have to do like every piece of active content on this platform to rank up

balright

[rose onyx]

just to give you an idea how much acad and retired can boost

[dusky jacinth]

And I threw some coding problems at Grok

[meager kernel]

Use claude

[alpine nimbus]

What a vibe

[dusky jacinth]

Didn’t need to

[jagged storm]

Yeah, Marcie is jumping from script kiddie to master. Kypanz, too

[worthy cargo]

vibe coding is fine. just need to audit the code and make sure it's secure

[dusky jacinth]

Jus wanted to see if it could solve it

It can

[rose elk]

Thats your team members?

[jagged storm]

Which is good to see. People still mistake Marcie as new lol

[rose onyx]

Correct

[alpine nimbus]

Was honestly surprised to see skid rank

[dusky jacinth]

It’s how we get you

[alpine nimbus]

I'll miss the old rank names but system overall seems better as long as inactive box scores stay balanced

[rancid snow]

then which leaderboards exactly are you referring to?
(I actually have not looked into the changes at all and have no clue)

[turbid goblet]

overall doesnt matter this rank is equivalent to 1% on thm

dont lose the plot bros

[jagged storm]

The existing leaderboards that are unrelated to this rank in any way lol

[rancid snow]

did literally anyone other than blood chasers top 10 care about leaderboards anyways

[turbid goblet]

employers maybe

[jagged storm]

No lol

[rancid snow]

theres also the occasional "#1 in third world country after two boxes!!!"

[buoyant minnow]

What is cattcon ctf anyone know how to join

[rancid snow]

if you have to ask how to join a ctf then the ctf isnt for you

a lot of em are private or for certain events

[alpine nimbus]

https://app.hackthebox.com/seasonal?tab=leaderboard&season_id=13&leaderboard_type=players

[hoary dawn]

My vip ran out gotta renew it but challenges don’t need pwnbox so I did a challenge yey

[alpine nimbus]

If P2W have access to inactives for pts then they get an advantage

[eternal mango]

The XP changes do not impact that leaderboard

or any leaderboard

[jagged storm]

Seasons are unrelated to this rank.

[eternal mango]

Not currently

[alpine nimbus]

Oh thats what you meant

[rancid snow]

seasonal boards wouldnt count inactive

[turbid goblet]

[jagged storm]

They are entirely different systems

[turbid goblet]

he said that 3 times lol

[rose onyx]

There are 4 ranks atm 🙂

[alpine nimbus]

Ok, thats completely my bad then @jagged storm

[rancid snow]

oof

[alpine nimbus]

I was so focused on you not knowing what leaderboard was on the site lol

[rancid snow]

Turns out rat did in fact know the leaderboards on the site

[jagged storm]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-cringe-gif-26303769

[turbid goblet]

kek

[alpine nimbus]

What if you had a no AI CTF though?

If you still understand and know what to do then I think its fine IMO

[jagged storm]

I've only been here for like 5 years, and been a mod for like 1 year lol

[alpine nimbus]

But if you're nothing without the AI then you shouldnt have it 🔨

[alpine pumice]

dang i'm still a noob

[jagged storm]

You're not the lowest level mod, so you're safe

[alpine nimbus]

I didnt think you were stupid, I thought you were just going hard on fucking with me lol

[worthy cargo]

Just went to htb site, said there was a new update, i click reload page, and now this:

Take it Slow!

It seems that you have triggered one of our rate-limiting rules.

Note that crawling and/or scanning any part of the website is not allowed.

Your IP has been temporarily blocked.

WTF is going on with HTB

[tough oyster]

yea dude. doing something sketchy

[alpine nimbus]

So you really cant access the site anymore?

[worthy cargo]

I got in now

I think it was a temp ban

I emailed customerops, then tried to login again and it worked

[raven rain]

why did he print out and glue a screenshot of code on his laptop lid

[frigid mountain]

that's what real engineers do duh

[worthy cargo]

Again the same thing happend @tough oyster . Site said update available, I click it to reload, and nothing appears on page, network error

Again IP banned temporarily

Something fishy is up with HTB tonight

[tough oyster]

we are harvesting your information for our new AI company being built

[eternal mango]

shhhhhhh

[jagged storm]

They didn't even check for hallucinations before posting the comic that they had AI draw for them lol

[tough oyster]

oh shit sorry. 2 early?

[eternal mango]

Do you have a ray id?

[worthy cargo]

I'm a paying academy member. I can't have my IP banned

[eternal mango]

Unsure if I still have Cloudflare access mind

[worthy cargo]

I will DM it to you

[raven rain]

i'm the lowest ranked mod

this is madness!

[jagged storm]

Only you and wolo bug out on rank

I wonder what the cause is

[random aurora]

I saw the basics is important so much how I dare I skip it and I say just I can finish the job role pentesting

[turbid goblet]

same

[random aurora]

I will return and I will be durable for the pain always let the pain speaks I love the pain

[rancid snow]

Its there for your own benefit and usage. If it doesnt apply to you it doesnt apply to you. Its simply up to your own evaluation of your knowledge and skills

[random aurora]

it will apply to me if I have finished the information security foundation

And I apply what I have learned

[rancid snow]

You have misunderstood me

[raven rain]

from our last conversation, the infosec foundations path does apply to them

[turbid goblet]

A+ applies to them

[snow wraith]

Morning

[random aurora]

Okay wait let me translete what u say

[random aurora]

You mean I can I develop myself

[frail turtle]

damn man pages become a damn maze of types for syscalls

[random aurora]

Okay guys good night🤍⚡️

[worthy cargo]

HTB site is having major issues right now

Nothing is loading

[frail turtle]

to get the time you need to use time() which produces a time_t you need to take that time_t and plug it into localtime() to produce a tm you take that tm andp lug it into a strftime() to produce a date that's readable.

[rose onyx]

for you? all good on my end, dont jinx me bro

[frail turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/lost-gif-6594275936548682616

[mossy swift]

whats all the new ranks

wtf?

[raven rain]

beginner, grandmaster, and everything else in between

https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/XP-Points

[mossy swift]

what does the community

think

W or L change

[summer urchin]

[frail turtle]

Ranks mean nothing to me, money does though.

money power information

dont let me have those ;c

im crazy don't listen to me

[raven rain]

the only thing of note for me is that VIP+ users can easily farm to Grandmaster with retired insane content since you can use walkthroughs for those

[mossy swift]

I like the active content only rank reflection or at least progress bar

the xp systems feels a little tryhackmeish

[abstract orchid]

hi guys i need help

Yesterday I was working on the sorcery machine and everything was working fine. Today I tried to continue and port 443 doesn't appear open. I've changed VPNs and restarted the machine several times, but the port still doesn't appear. Does anyone know if the machine is malfunctioning?

[raven rain]

is that pfp juju

[eternal mango]

Could be you need to give it some time for services to come up. Be aware, that's an active machine, so don't over share, and #boxes exists

[tough oyster]

Something like that

[raven rain]

hrm

[abstract orchid]

Alr thx

[raven rain]

it is juju

i was watching this anime on the plane ride yesterday

[eternal mango]

It works, just give it a few minutes after spawning

[dusky jacinth]

hey zumi

I need to get a KVM

have started hacking

wbu?

for when my server restarts 🫠

Oh damn

how's it going

is it still 24 hours for that one? (I can't remember)

heeeeell yeah

I've heard some say that one has come outdated stuff. What'd you think of the course?

mhmhmhm

soc and edr evasion would be more rto though, correct?

noice

you gonna go for the OSCE or just stick with OSCP and OSEP

[worthy root]

hey if i want to learn pwn and reverse for ctf what should i learn on htb

[dusky jacinth]

I was thinking of doing those after CPTS (same reason) cause I assume I'll probably start with doing some kind of appsec

[dusky jacinth]

Outside of HTB, Nightmare is really good I've heard. Their content has been interesting from what little I've done

and It's taught around CTFs

(and Nightmare is free)

https://guyinatuxedo.github.io/

Well you have a job so

mmmmm

juice

[alpine nimbus]

You're not in cybersec?

[dusky jacinth]

but it's like baby math

it's like f = 16 and that's it

and then you go

0xff

= 33

(hehehe)

mmmmm

[worthy root]

okeoke thank yall

[alpine nimbus]

You see it scrambled?

[dusky jacinth]

just throw that biatch in pwntools

make the computer make it easier to read

or don't (once again you have a job and I don't)

[alpine nimbus]

I just never got an exact description. Flip like right to left or just scrambled?

If you dont mind me asking

[eternal mango]

Characters jump about, focusing on reading some things you can kinda.. lose your place

It's hard to explain

Kinda how it works for me

[alpine nimbus]

Oh ok so yeah seeing code or hashes must be hell for you

[alpine nimbus]

You're dyslexic too?

[eternal mango]

Text with structure is fine for me, but repetitive things, things without a structure.. it's hell sometimes

[eternal mango]

Yes, dyslexic/dyspraxic

[dusky jacinth]

isn't the human brain funky

my brother has disgraphia

[alpine nimbus]

I believe that its called neuro-spice now 🧠 🌶️

[eternal mango]

First time hearing of that one.. my hand writing is literally never the same twice. All through schools, they thought I just wasn't trying

41 and it's still the same. Had to sign documents at a bank for a big transfer 5 times before they either gave up, or I got it close enough to what was on record

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah I didn't know what it was either (he didn't find out till he was like 12)

[alpine nimbus]

Yeah, mine is practically still what it was in elementary school or maybe early-mid high school

[eternal mango]

Only got diagnosed by chance when a family friend from America asked a couple of questions, then a few more and was like.. yeahp

[alpine nimbus]

They kept telling me to apply myself but even when I was....

Im not diagnosed with any of those dys' though

[eternal mango]

Man how do they not think to not just blame the kid not trying hard enough if whatever is an issue for so long, and instead think about the why

In this day and age too

It's not like it's a secret

Same old reason I guess, more work, putting the child first instead of the school 🤷‍♂️

[alpine nimbus]

I dont even know why. I've heard a ton of different explanations. That I wasn't applying myself, that oh its my brain thinking faster than I can write, motor skill issues, etc.

[eternal mango]

(personal opinion only, not saying all schools are like that)

[dusky jacinth]

feels like most are

[eternal mango]

mm

[alpine nimbus]

Its still shitty even today

[eternal mango]

Definitely mention it to your year head, or councilor or whatever at your place

[alpine nimbus]

Its about making yourself fit in a box, not helping you develop as you are.

[eternal mango]

Either they'll ignore it and keep saying you're not doing well, do something about it, or try to do something about it and just make it worse

[silver forge]

mention it the the lamp

[eternal mango]

Fitting in a box is what mainstream education is all about unfortunately

Those that are different seem to be labelled and used more as an advertisement for "inclusivity", and then the reality is nothing like what they say

I'm very salty.

[alpine nimbus]

Not necessarily new. Even Einstein criticized it and he was a bit older than me lol

[eternal mango]

Of course not new

Just ranting

Just a shame things have not moved on more.

[alpine nimbus]

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

[eternal mango]

Like even a private school we tried for our daughter totally failed her

[alpine nimbus]

What was her issue?

[eternal mango]

an their whole shpiel was about accomodating kids with needs

ADHD/Autistic, bit of a mix, likely same as me lol

[alpine nimbus]

Also a dis-?

[eternal mango]

She's diagnosed at least, I'm not

[alpine nimbus]

Both are/can be hereditary so very possible

[eternal mango]

yarp

[dusky jacinth]

Do you guys think we're becoming modern day mentats

like from Dune

[eternal mango]

haha

[dusky jacinth]

What if we're like the initial evolution

[alpine nimbus]

I havent read the books yet lol

Just the new movies and game

Love it tho

[eternal mango]

I've an opinion on it all, but each time I share it it feels like I shouldn't

[dusky jacinth]

I also have a not so popular opinion on it

[silver forge]

https://tenor.com/view/paul-rudd-i-love-lamp-gif-10458184

[alpine nimbus]

I miss the days where people could disagree amicably

[dusky jacinth]

Such a good movie

[eternal mango]

I've not gotten fl ak for it

It's more be being overly critical of myself

[alpine nimbus]

Well just spit it out

I dont say that often so

[alpine nimbus]

I wasnt sure if you were referencing that blurry lamp story lol

[eternal mango]

Coping mechanism, evolution, whatever

Evolution probably not in such a short time and generations

Diagnosis and awareness has made knowledge and diagnosis sky rocked of course in recent decades

[silver forge]

our central nervous system was developed to eat mushrooms in a dark cave. not be bombarded by attention seeking information 24/7.

[alpine nimbus]

I kind of disagree on that view of it but I'm no doctor so I just repeat whats on the google

[eternal mango]

but I can't help but think with all that information, constant vying for attention, constant need to try and focus, again most likely just a coincidence and I'm drawing conclusions

it's just a feeling I have

Doesn't mean it's right 😄

I had more in depth posts elsewhere, but I'm not in those servers anymore

[alpine nimbus]

Last I had checked it they said it was exposure to toxic substances in youth and then hereditary. So like if you were around lead as a kid

But our brains literally dont produce dopamine or at least not normally so that is a real physical thing

[eternal mango]

Yeah, I get the medical reasoning behind it and all that too, and don't disagree with it

[alpine nimbus]

So both can be true that either A, people with ADHD were always around but simply didnt know about it or B, it became a thing due to plastics + chemicals

[eternal mango]

Just my little theory

For my next trick, I'll pull a hat out of a rabbit

[alpine nimbus]

Poor rabbit

[eternal mango]

That's just it, that's a causal relationship as well, just as my thinking

More plastics and chemicals, more cases

More information and attention overload, more cases

Anyway

[alpine nimbus]

Nothing wrong with being curious lol. How else would we learn anything otherwise?

[eternal mango]

Everyone can have their opinions, I'm not arguing or dismissing yours 🙂

High five? 🫸

[alpine nimbus]

Neither am I, man

[silver forge]

instructions unclear, ated the rabbit

[alpine nimbus]

Makes for a good stew 🍲

[alpine nimbus]

What about your opinion on Dune that you were afraid to share

[alpine nimbus]

^

[eternal mango]

Oh, no I didn't have an opinion on Dune that I was afraid to share

Dune is awesome.

[eternal mango]

I was replying without using threads

[alpine nimbus]

Oh, I thought thats what you were talking about here

[eternal mango]

My bad

[rapid badger]

One cannot ignore the financial part of things. ADHD meds are a big business and I have no doubts some docs are getting kickbacks.

[eternal mango]

https://tenor.com/bPRqO.gif

[alpine nimbus]

Yeah, vyvanse is pricy. Always a pain for refills for me too because they think Im about to abuse it at any moment

[eternal mango]

No doubt, here in the UK it's pretty cheap, for kids it's free, as an adult a yearly payment of like £100 or so regardless of the number of prescriptions is the most efficient way

Some meds from private health care are outside the coverage of NHS mind

..but that's for special cases. Even some "irregular" meds NHS will cover and order in

I fear the day the NHS is axed / privatized. Feels like it's inevitable

[vital current]

what's going with the internet guys

Notion and HTB just went dark

[eternal mango]

It's DNS / Cloudflare

(HTB works fine here, UK)

[rose onyx]

It's always DNS

[vital current]

I am about to finish

[alpine nimbus]

In Canada we have 'free' healthcare but if you dont also pay for private you're dead nowadays

[eternal mango]

..and Notion

[alpine nimbus]

And that doesnt cover meds

[vital current]

the last part of the module!

[eternal mango]

That's the way I see it going here in the future 🙁

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[eternal mango]

Heart thing a couple of years back, had to wait like.. around a year to get cardioverted

..a 15 minute procedure

[alpine nimbus]

We had a kid die in the ER this or last week at the local hospital here. Asthma and no help for 4+ hours

[eternal mango]

Should've just gone private instead, but then I feel that's just perpetuating the problem. Not that the NHS needs more pressure, but the more it's not used, the more it'll slip away.. I think?

Again, maybe not a popular opinion lol

[alpine nimbus]

So you get taxed to shit for 'healthcare' but you'd die on it if not for also having private

[eternal mango]

Every time I've used private, I've had to wait for a referral from the NHS anyway

It's so dumb.

TAKE MY MONEY AND FIX ME DEAR DR

[alpine nimbus]

Im not sure what NHS is, I'm not from the UK

[eternal mango]

National Health Service which covers health care for residents of the UK

Funded by tax payers, and the gov if they feel like chipping in

[alpine nimbus]

Oh so I guess like RAMQ here if we sign up for it

Helps covers costs a bit?

Reimburse?

[eternal mango]

Prescriptions are mostly all you pay for with the NHS

And those are free for kids or people in various circumstances

Everything else is free.. it's just the wait times to see someone that is the kicker right now, and it's only getting worse

[alpine nimbus]

Sounds like us right now

[eternal mango]

Like...

Just wut

Why I've not bothered

I'll just nick my daughters meds instead

(A JOKE!!)

[alpine nimbus]

I was fortunate enough to be prioritized higher when I was in the ER but thats literally because it was a chance I die from it. So while most people here need to be on a wait list for 2-4+ years for an MRI, I got through in a week or so

[eternal mango]

Good that they got you through quick. Sometimes it goes that way here

[alpine nimbus]

A 3 hour diagnosis? Well that changed a lot

[eternal mango]

Sometimes they call back after 3 hours for a suspected stroke and say "Do you still need the ambulance?"

Then cancel it even though you said yes..

(was for a friend a while ago)

Maybe I've just been unlucky, apart from the mental health care side of things, had a mostly bad experience with NHS

[alpine nimbus]

Here, they'll come but its a $200 fee for the ambulance ride

[eternal mango]

Maybe it's where I live, but honestly they are stretched so thin, and paid so poorly

Thanks gov..

Wait, no politics

[alpine nimbus]

Yeah, I dont mean to be rude but Europe... doesn't seem to be going in a great direction right now 😬

[silver forge]

years ago I had an allergic reaction which caused the ER to think I'm not getting oxygen.. severe allergic reactions can do that.. I have never moved that fast in any hospital. in 45 minutes 6 doctors had examined me, had both tests done and results back, and new medication.

[eternal mango]

Oh, yeah.. Europe

[alpine nimbus]

Oh whoops, my bad

[eternal mango]

We're not that anymore

😄

That was a whoel thing that happened, and all the promises fell through

and now we're moving back to alignment with EU to regain what was lost

Freaking good job

[alpine nimbus]

No epipen?

[silver forge]

I think it was a dose fit for a full grown horse of cortisone

[eternal mango]

😮

So, rocket ship oclock

Well again, glad you were seen quickly.

Shit can go sideways quickly

[silver forge]

things mostly work around here tbh

[obtuse fern]

You could say you were as healthy as a horse

[silver forge]

also pretty much as smart

[obtuse fern]

Horses are pretty smart tbh

This is accurate it seems. Matches df -h. 34GB used

But btdu seems somewhat off

[exotic scarab]

the best firts certification ?

I was told btdu is more accurate

This most likely represents allocated but unused space, which could be reduced by running a balance on the DATA block group.

that sounds like a success to me

Hello everyone!
Is there anyone who can give me little explanation how this guy has website and links tied to pdf using github account?

[eternal mango]

By... making a website with links to the PDFs?

Github Pages

[shrewd heron]

In github?

[eternal mango]

pages.github.com

[shrewd heron]

Which section can you tell

[eternal mango]

Oh github.io yes

That is the domain that pages are hosted if they are not hosted on a custom domain

[shrewd heron]

Hmm I never knew we can host website on github

[eternal mango]

For free you can do so for public repos

For paid accounts, it supports private repos

For both you can use Github Actions to run a build process for static sites etc

The pages are then simply presented from the defined root path on the repo pages config

[worthy cargo]

I use gitlab.

Private repos for free.

You have the perfect fork opportunity with your bishop and knight

[warped plank]

Part 2: Oh no, I'm down material again...

[sturdy thistle]

morning

[warped plank]

Mornin

[azure remnant]

Not into chess a lot but thats a blunder

[warped plank]

forced mate in 5, but I got it in 2 cos they didn't bother with all the checks on my king

[azure remnant]

If he moved the knight away it wouldnt be mate ?

Opens the way for the second rock

[warped plank]

if he moved the knight I'll just take it

like Ne7 Rxe7

[austere sinew]

Remind me to never go against you in chess thank you

[warped plank]

Mind you I suck at Chess

I just suck less than most people

[austere sinew]

Yeah that black queen is a bit irritating there

[warped plank]

yeah but I'm checkmating him in the back with my rooks

[austere sinew]

Wait

Nvm

Yeah

You have the bishops protecting

I’ve only had 3 hours of sleep forgive my lack of chess

[warped plank]

my bishop is hanging, he can give a check, my king is cornered, but I'm still winning

[austere sinew]

I’m so impulsive I’d eat that rook with the bishop giving the justification that WELL IT’S NOT PROTECTING BOTH OF THE ROOKS I ONLY NEED THE WHITE ROOK PROTECTED

[heady sage]

This is real btw

[warped plank]

huh? you can't eat any of the rooks with the bishops...

[austere sinew]

You can in two moves with the white bishop

[austere sinew]

I also see a nice fork if you manage to eat the pawns in the way

With a bishop over castle and king

[warped plank]

you know it's mate in 5 right?

he's guaranteed mated no matter what

[austere sinew]

I KNOW BUT IT’S FUN TO SEE OTHER WAYS TOOOOOO

I LIKE BEING GREEDY WITH PIECES

[warped plank]

But... just win the game

[austere sinew]

Actually is it not mate in two

[warped plank]

yeah 2, forgot it was my move

[austere sinew]

Eat the black rook and move up

[austere sinew]

Yeah

[warped plank]

check first then eat

[austere sinew]

He cant move anywhere other than left thanks to your white bishop

[warped plank]

he can move the knight and rook protects backrank if you don't go straight to check

[austere sinew]

Ah I see

Dammit

[sick gate]

Take note, dale Earnhardt

[austere sinew]

I dont get that reference I dont like nascar 😔

@warped plank continue continue

[warped plank]

gotta go straight with the rook on the right to check

he blocks

then just take with either rook

[austere sinew]

Yesyes did you finish sir

Continue continue

[warped plank]

yes that's mate

[austere sinew]

Yippee

Next game

i mean what other choice do u have?

[warped plank]

just not having it...

current state:

the writeups themselves have a proper nav bar but I'm debating one on the frontpage

[bronze lion]

its already too long why not group it into the diffuclty level(the writeups)

[azure remnant]

Fire 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🥵

[bronze lion]

maybe it would look way too clean

for functionality? html links and a lot of css animations

uk that

you know that

[warped plank]

eww line wrap

[supple plume]

Horizontal scrollbar is sign of bad quality

[supple plume]

I don't like it either

[warped plank]

what about for code blocks

[eternal mango]

Bring back <marquee>!

[supple plume]

I went with the breaklines...

Maybe there are other solutions idk

[warped plank]

horizontal scrollbars look fine on my code blocks though IMO

[supple plume]

It's a matter of taste after all

If you like it like this like golam says you can't make everyone happy

[eternal mango]

You could trim and have ellipse with hover over for full text?

Not very mobile friendly though

Meant for the nav

[warped plank]

Ohhh I do like the linebreaks for the nav though

[supple plume]

Yeah see

This is better

[eternal mango]

Perhaps a little left padding on the breaks to separate it from the same level as the other menu items?

Helps with keeping each menu item appear separate when groking

[warped plank]

Might be mis-interpreted as a sub heading too though

[eternal mango]

mm I suppose

[supple plume]

That's what I was thinking

[meager kernel]

hello

@eternal mango i like the new XP system personally

i always wanted a unified academy + labs system and ive asked for it in the past too

@eternal mango yo one more thing, turns out, all pentesters in my company also use HTB, i contacted one of them for guidance recently on AD, and he recommended me HTB itself, and then we had a whole conversation about HTB and other certs and all.

he recommended that CPTS is the best for jobs

[eternal mango]

Niiice 😄

[meager kernel]

cpts has taken precedence over oscp nowadays

which is good

[tough oyster]

Good

[tawdry sorrel]

The waiting time is way harder than CPTS exam lmao

Specially when you see people who submitted after you getting their results and you aint

Could be those are retakes that required minor changes following feedback

Is it expected any time soon to have discount on the subscription for HTB Labs?

[jagged storm]

I don't believe they have ever done this

[bronze lion]

weird ass behaviours seen these days

[strange gulch]

They had it back in 2024 / or 2023 for either Black Friday or for New Year, I don’t remember now, but they clearly did have

[jagged storm]

Did they? I remember a discount on the annual plans just as they came out, but nothing else. I don't do the main platform much, though.

[strange gulch]

Yeah, it was back in the days when there also were VIP and VIP+
I have been waiting for long to have it again but I guess I will just have to buy without. If I am not mistaken the whole 2025 till now was without discount for the labs. In August 2025 I grabbed the discount for Academy when they launched CJCA but I wanna get one for Labs too

Possibly they may have this year around Black Friday / New Year but it’s a long time to wait

So just wondering whether anyone knows anything

[jagged storm]

That's plenty of time to study academy

did you see my tag @ you about my headphones having a 3.5 -> 6.35 jack?

[frigid mountain]

i did not

that seems...unusual

[obtuse fern]

it's got 2 input jacks (one on the left ear and one on the right ear) too; it's super neat

[supple plume]

I'm waiting for feedback so hard that feels like I'm carrying every minute in my [REDACTED]

[frigid mountain]

which model?

[obtuse fern]

one for the 6.35 connector, one for the 3.5 jack

[supple plume]

feels weird saying unhinged shit when you're here

[frigid mountain]

idk the size by my AIAIAI TMA-2 are modular and each ear cup has a smaller connector

[supple plume]

but without mod powers 🥀

[frigid mountain]

but idk the size

[supple plume]

I want you to warn me

I like the 3.5mm side too because it's got a lock mechanism so it can't just accidentally fall out

[frigid mountain]

Are they interchangeable or it has 2 cords dangling?

[obtuse fern]

2 different cords

one is a 3.5 -> 3.5
One is a 3.5 -> 6.35

[frigid mountain]

gotcha so you can switch out what's connected?

it's kind of cheese but I like it. I have a gold USB for my tracks too so I put it on there and I"m DJ-ready at all times

[obtuse fern]

the worst feeling is thinking you have the right adapter or cord and realizing you didn't pack it

[frigid mountain]

should probably talk to my doctor about it

yeah...thankfully most modern DJ gear have both inputs

er, outputs

[obtuse fern]

i almost thought i didn't have an audio thing for my laptop (framework) and i was like I KNOW I ordered one with it... looked past it like 5 times

[terse dirge]

Have an eggerclear vision bro, like tommygainz

[frigid mountain]

i want a framework. But I have 3 laptops currently and can't justify buying another

when it's time to upgrade I'll get one

wonder what I could sell a 2011 MacBook Pro for?

$200?

All these remakes and sequels - where is our hackers sequel

[rose onyx]

Uh the technical sequel that's not a sequel exists 🙁

[jagged storm]

No, we need a real one

[rose onyx]

Let's not touch perfection

[jagged storm]

You can't call it perfection unless you had DHB 929 burned into your CRT as a kid

[rose onyx]

Plus back then it was the wild west, culturally underground, and a little scary. Now it's scams, ransomware, and bug bounty. I don't see how it would play out today unless you back to the 90s

[jagged storm]

Have it be a commentary on surveillance state/ai slop

[rose onyx]

Flock you

Maybe if you mix deviant and darknet diaries stories together to make something similar I might watch it.

[rare hemlock]

is anyone else having an issue with their seasonal rank not updating? Even my number of flags isn’t changing

[rancid totem]

It'll get updated

It takes time

Your number of flags will not change if you've solved the retired machines

In the season

[rare hemlock]

I solved Silentium lately and i believe it's active, no?

[eternal mango]

It only counts when owned during the week after it was released

(for season ranking)

[rare hemlock]

ohhh got it thx

[vocal tundra]

Hey guys so I've been studying cybersecurity for a week now. I've set a goal for myself to get the cjca and the cpts this year as well hacker rank.

I'm thinkjng of this strategy, maybe it's worth it to complete both paths, then grind on the labs, then take both exams close to each other, when I've already built a solid foundation?

What do u guys think

[meager estuary]

br?

[vocal tundra]

Sim eai

[meager estuary]

don’t speak in Portuguese, bro eng only

[jagged storm]

They're kinda opposed in nature. What do you want to do in the future? Red team or blue team?

[vocal tundra]

Looking for to get purple team knowledge but red team is more fun in the long run

[supple plume]

Careful with that symbols you can end up getting negative 0 in javascript

[jagged storm]

Purple team is somewhat of a long term goal. You'll probably be better off starting on one path, and integrating the other later.

[eternal mango]

Also, don't rush through the paths

Take notes, learn, practice

[vocal tundra]

So you mean the cjca is more focused on defense? I've seen it's supposed to be an entry general level for other paths

[eternal mango]

It's not a race 🙂

[vocal tundra]

Yessir I'm always prioritizing actually learning

That's the most important

[jagged storm]

Nono, I was thinking CDSA. I don't know much about CJCA.

[eternal mango]

https://academy.hackthebox.com/preview/certifications/htb-certified-junior-cybersecurity-associate

[vocal tundra]

Oh nah I don't plan to take cdsa soon

[jagged storm]

If CJCA is a 'both' kind of fundamentals, then I guess that's fine, but do you have fundamentals down yet?
