Using apt on fedora is so cursed but I love it



yum 
Should I order another drink chat? I think I should maybe get more food or go to the gym today
dnf bruh get with the times old man
yum is lovely
red hat in 2026?
Memories
dnf is nice
you win
with CentOS at work a long time ago
damn
its the slowest package manager in linux
brew 💅
how to get beaten online 101
IBM speedrunning the destruction of anything they touch
Pizza for lunch yummers
Dnf dependancy resolution is excellent
That's what matters to me
for hacking stuff i just use containers
i guess thats why it takes so long
its actually slower than apt
i couldnt believe myself at first
cutting? just fold and eat
Real ones fold it like a taco to eat it
why do u need to cut it can u not just burger it
I hate apt as sth that controlls my system packages so i just use it in a container
I've reported you to the knights of pizza standards and practices
Getting Pizza shamed, 2026 edition
or do we not talk about his past adventures
Fine, thank you. How're you?
idk tbh
lets not dig deeper in the pizza wars
lol okay gramps
there is someone told me infromation security foundation then go to portswigger so I accept his idea
Indeed, it'll make me hungry
us hungry
I really loved linux really
@eternal mango
What?
I mean this in the sincerest way possible, learn to think in english instead of talking in your own language inside your head then translating that
security team at archlinux watching people release a LPE in twitter

that's not you?
It feels like everyday has been a 0 day for the past month
prolly 

Also arch users watching a hacker destroy their machine before they can destroy it themselves by running pacman
im mad this is true
The godess of time and destruction, reduced to a bunch of wallapapers on top of a glorified pip install
we dont talk about parrot? 🙈
It's kinda rude to talk about them
i actually like it abt arch users cause they never admit its archs fault they will always say oh yeah i prolly did some shit
and then there is ubuntu users even if they remove the boot loader they will say ubuntu broke itself
since u know we have goblin in chat and what not
not until new htb version gets released
I like that they default to mate DE though
new htb version? i thought that was already done?
does DE matter tho
so like its behind versions
as in parrot version
HTB version of parrot is just parrot with a new wallpaper
but v7 dropped and like #📣-announcements was all ike yo new htb edish
yeah lol and a few gtk sprinkles here and there
plus tun0 in the top bar
Me being here doesn't change anything, I am not a mod. Like parrot, prefer kali, urge for temple.. whatever works for you
nmm have to check out
LFG TEMPLEOS MENTIONED!
I wish they would have a pwnbox image
bro is not that dude
Thank you but still won't say ill stuff while in ur virtual house
Which dude
a mod?
its such a wonderful wednesday evening
You can say anything honest
yall thinking what i am thinking?
wish someone would actually try

Holy

That's a very healthy mindset
so wise
I'd have been banned 10x over for feedback alone
Yeah dropped mod when I left ages ago, and didn't want it back when I returned
wise man
With great power comes great respo
🙂↕️
i feel like they butchered the website
it's fine if they leave the old ranking system as is
Careful they might block you on linkdln
add whatever xp sys u like but don't del the og way
the new xp sys is great for generating income as it makes ppl want to do academy
i can dm the vid or you can google the yt for it, nsfw
but for employers wtf is a grandmaster
Very specific..
just say xyz th position amont 3 million hackers
A person who has too much time on their hands
Even that was butchered by a certain platform
top 0.1% kek
hey hey vader, long time no see
top 0.1
can we get g0blin's app merged into htb tho?
when everyone is top 0.1% no one is
its just missing that part
excatly
golam isn't
im not here for long just to say hi
golam is top 0.1% in our hearts
The shame of only top 5%
hope youve been well
have NOT been hacking lately, just taking break
But when top 1% THM?
breaks are good, took a break these past 2 days too

brutal
😭
Wrong one - my account was deleted more than 5 years ago lol
Care to offer us a reason for the deletion of your hardwork

Shit. i'll put it back on my CV then 
As well as my top 4% on THM 
Elite+
so thm is what i am missing in cv
you need to become number 1 ethical hacker like ryan montgomery
Probably b4 ur name
so what do you do
and u got it using ceh?
/s wasn't included in the past message sorry
but fr ceh is still loved by employers in someplaces
so if u can get it for free then go for it
cold world out there

May person too GRX? Happy birthday!

thanks but it's a recurring joke

that was a blessing
it gets messed up every other update
Neo4j literally takes the piss.
just keep ur stuff seperated
god I now talk like
I forgot his name
but he always preached about containarization
what was that suit of docker+venvs made for pentesting ?
yeah I've been meaning to but they could also just fix the damn tool xD
You can spend a weekend making your own for free bruh
@austere sinew
Hihi
Been in the lab all day… building and breaking
I’m so happy to not have to manage people anymore

you do sports?
sometimes
you should
you are right not denying that
but my brain says "consider the comfort and ectasy you will experince inside"
and I guess as my brain makes most of the decisions that I make it's kinda convincing
change that
I don't think I can buy a new brain
lmao didint mean it like that what i meant is change the fact you like staying in the comfort

Hey dudes… I learned a bunch today about the Cyber Resilience Act
It’s so much fun

and sorry about your headache
i had too much sugar at breakfast and its haunted me all day

it sucks being old
Eat more sugar
I'm sorry it haunted you. Mines due to having chronic migraines
Haha damn
At least he wasn't eating an alive cow? 🤔
God I hope not
i suppose
Eww no
Ever heard of steak tar tar
i dont eat meat no mores
Meat is amazing.
Beef carpasio 
Meat and fat. No carb or sugar.
i dont miss it
Even plants eat meat, bro.
Veggie burgers nom nom nom
im not a plant
Ever heard of carnivorous plants?
breh
Vege burgers are ultra processed
He has given up meat so we can eat more, no pressure
I'd rather just have regular burger
i wont preach my opinion on it its ok
best movies use real hacking
Is it just preference or some reason behind it not eating meat?
Like ethical reasons?
its my own morals i weaned myself of meat down to chicken and fish and finally took the veggie dive fully a couple months ago
My reasoning to going vegetarian is digestive health issues
Man, I hear the total opposite from experts and witness people in old age that look so young you can't tell their age
Meat and fats. No carbs or sugars.
Carnivore diet
hy
Like hell I'll give up carbs
Yeah but some carnivore diet people end up like Jordan peterson
Im not against the way anyone eats i dont walk there shoes

Vege you figure that bridge out yet?
I've stopped breathing because I just found out oxygen is toxic
Oxygen is euphoric

bruh play some counterstrike instead, play a real fps and not some slop 
If you're waiting for boxes to release each saturday, you can download and do vulnhub boxes in the meantime
Idk man
In exam are we allowed to utilize tools that are not provided by default ??
You should read my medium post on it
Yes????
csgo or lol? 
its uhhhh
i see
not the best but was useful for me
I just have my OSCP but I want something else bc its been 2 yrs since i got that
yeah gotta keep the skills sharpening

based
Bro play genshin
Collect waifus

nah i hate games similar like this or mmorpgs, cuz i I get addicted and can't stop playing
seems kinda sketchy imo, no github for source?
what do you wanna do
like any career endgoal in mind
or interest
oh it's a ROM hack.
I work for a IT MSSP right now as a mix of an IT Engineer / some cloud sec, but I really want to actually try pentesting professionally as a job. So, I am trying to setup my self a bit better as I am a bit rusty
PokeMMO is an emulator of several popular console games with additional features and multiplayer capabilities.
Id say it kinda depends on where youre weak because some pentesting jobs favor different skill sets
Some want web, some want everything (my job), some want AD
I think OSEP isnt bad but paying out of pocket Id say skip unless u rich
Not applocker. But yes to AMSI
I made a sliver implant awhile back that bypasses AMSI
You get way more from CAPE CPTS CWES CWEE OSWE OSED ODPC
that's alot of letters
Pokemonnn!!!
Prob will just start the CPTS path back up
Is a good fundamentals layer
If you get the CPTS can you confidently test for the OSCP?
Which cert teaches you how to catfish nerds as a cute anime cosplayer ?
osep got me good at fighting modern defender and applocker stuff
but im not nearly skilled enough for edrs yet so after osce3 gonna do odpc
ZUMI
Yes
That's very good to know - thanks :)
This one place im applying to rn has me writing essays
AI exists
I enjoy writing write-ups
U are weird
writeups are fun ^^
During this application process I agree to use only my own words. I understand that plagiarism, the use of AI or other generated content will disqualify my application.
Well for the write-ups, Im already taking notes in obsidian. I just take notes like im writing for someone then afterwards read it over and edit it
for a job
🤫
I like taking notes in triliumnext
never even heard of that. Im so obsidian pilled though
I use teco
its obsidian but a jabillion times better
😶
nuh uh
Still haven't found a replacement for obsidian
tell me about it :3
Teco
I like markdown. Then i can upload my notes to my website using Hugo
/verufy
its for Canonical (Ubutnu). I read their JD and it seems pretty nice but I've read on reddit just now that their process is notoriously excruciating xD
Trilium allows you to do everything obsidian can do and way more
It doesnt have the annoying affect of sticking pictures in the same folder. It renders weird code chunks correctly. It encrypts your files so defender cant nuke it. It allows you to link notes to each other to pyramid them. You can make templates. You can write your own mods. You can export and import from several different extensions. You can write in markdown or whatever way you want. You can color and customize icons. You can make your own themes. You can integrate ai. You can self host. You can just do nearly anything you can imagine with a note app
it renders videos and gifs in the page too
its hilarious kind of
Uhm I can do all that in obsidian
Obsidian does that 👀
except my buddy had his notes nuked by defender
Why do I need to self host text files?
luckily im free of WD 
So you can sync your files from anywhere from any work station
That's called git
lmfao
Self-hosted LiveSync community plugin
why not just use google drive? Doesn't it support it out of the box?
You can use google drive
Well the question is, how to make 420$ for 2 exam vouchers, I really wanna do CDSA and COAE before Aug
it sticks in a sqldatabase
it runs on CouchDB
Trilium is an open-source solution for note-taking and personal knowledge bases. Use it locally or sync with your own server to access notes anywhere.
My terminal markdown parser doesn't work on sqlite
If i couldn't have my notes on all of my devices i would have found something else
Self hosting it is great
Well idk it works for me and i dislike using obsidian or one note
I didn't like one note
both things im forced to use for work
use nano
oof
😄

I refuse anything that's not markdown.
nano = GOAT
Im glad you like it! sounds similar to obsidian tho 
I convince all my homies to switch to obsidian and arch (at least try to
)
Version control for notes seems silly to me x3
Why
arch is ok, I don't like its init system and the AUR tbh
AUR has too many unmaintained packages
my handwriting is shitty
Hm this is fair. However i've always found a workaround.
I also use voice notes lol I get lazy
systemd?
I boot using systemd x3
Im not familiar and ive not noticed any kind of bottlenecks due to it
What you reboot 20 times a day where that 10s matter?

The whole point of swapping to linux was so I don't have to reboot 20 times a day 
you'll just notice speed changes tbh
Oh right arch user always breaking something
lmao actually runit is very good and it's on void linux
arch doesn't officially support it
Vim 
Only when hyprland pushes a new update 
that's a super big skill issue tbh
6am
You must have a Nvidia card
i use arch btw
i should post my femboy outfit here
nuh uh you use cachy
with arch on it
I arch use btw
That's ma buddy
same thing
ha. actually i run wayland/hyprland on my lenovo yoga laptop and X/i3 on my nvidia desktop
Hyprland ?
x11
erm actually nuh uh
No love for slackware or Gentoo?
Wayland is so problematic
It's handy, at least for me
works great for me
yeahhhhh..... Im considering switching to sway
Source based distros are a pain in the ass
It's not
how does one break hyprland?
every update
Nvidia
It so is. Xmonad doesn't work on it 😄
it breaks ur configs
Bro my back is burned as hell
makes sense
every time i update id get a million broken configs
I’m cooked
yeah i feel that
just fix them, it tells your what's wrong with it
I know. i do haha
yes i love spending two hours fixing config files
its annoying though. That's why im considering sway
on x11 u update and it jus works
Arch it self breaks a lot, but the key is arch users are troubleshoot experts cuz they have fixed thier own machine 1000+ times before
I'm enjoying X/i3
I couldn't ever get my games to land on the right monitor thus breaking mouse
Its an issue with hyprland, not wayland though
yea wayland ok
With hyprland
just not hyprland
I'm looking for a terminal emulator that can save sessions and open tabs with what was already in them when I shut down and restart
Any ideas?
Zellij
zellij as a tmux can
I disagree. After several years it was just user error at the beginning and packages that break
Oh you said emulator, crap what's the w one
normal arch is fine its really only hyprland thats ever fucked me
Yeah. Sway is stable.
Though -- the config changes they are making are good
Konsole is fine for me 
its just so unstable
Keep it simple
Wezterm @worthy cargo
I love kitty terminal emulator - not sure if it has all dat tho
Currently I use urxvt + Xresources to manage my sessions.
It's cool, yet it feels like a femboy shit
How 😭
Kitty, bruh the name itself
why? Isn't X11 deprecated now?
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.1: A|stoned-desktop
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.2: B|TSAProxy|ssh -D 1080 stoned@t
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.3: C|C|ssh root@c
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.4: D|Server3|ssh ubuntu@or3
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.5: E|SD
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.6: F|TextGen
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.7: G|shell
URxvt.tabbedalt.tabcmds.8: H|shell
URxvt.tabbedalt.session: A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H
When I start urxvt, all my tabs open and connect to different things and run commands. I'm looking for something as simple as that
How did hyprland" fuck" you?
Fact: Some cats have tiger claws like Azomax
No. It's here to stay for a long time
If you don't need session persistence then kitty, ghostty, or wezterm
It would be nice to have persistence
lots of stuff has moved over to wayland tho
Curious what you’d use that for
Just showed you
Then slap zellij or tmux on it. Since you don't like how tmux works give zellij a spin
Oh I was distracted by X being deprecated
My current terminal
shift+<- and -> switch urxvt tabs.
ctrl+ <- and -> switch GNU screen windows
I want something as that
Zellij
Multiplexer
yeah only tmux comes to mind
it's a thing @frosty thistle uses and opens up 100+ terminals
Yes
I need 1 million terminals
broken configs
making me waste time fixing them
The only terminal emulator that can just do it that I'm aware of is wezterm
That's what claudius said when I asked it
claudius
thats what i call it :3
I call it a bucket of bolts and make no mistakes
I like That 70's Show
more like buckets of water
Robits aren't made of water
robutts are not
Roberto
How many browser tabs is too many tabs?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I try my best to backup the default config files
Just in case I do an oopsie
Use git.
you should try tree style tabs
That's about 80 tabs, normal use for me
Nah. I like multi row. Tree you have to scroll up and down.
we were talking about how hyprland updates break configs
I have everything I need pinned
And I use auto tab discard
So all tabs are discarded after a few minute of inactivity
that's what you see in red
green are active tabs
that a firefox extension?
nvim*
That's why I use Waterfox
how does that compare to librewolf? -- if at all
default firefox its pretty trash
Why would you keep a discarded tab around?
thanks! Ill try out waterfox and take note of that :)
In case I need them again, but don't want them taking up memory
Get more memory
64GB is plenty
I could use more but no monies
🙁
I can put in 2x32GB more, but I need money
Has 64 too and I don't close any
I also have a lot of VMs running
And 64 GB is not plenty
Only one of those is running
why does bro need so many vms?
Because!
I have a mini PC for other carp
bro just use containers for everything and VMs as a last resort
virtual box? why not vmware if on windows?
ong
oap gubarz put clown emoji

diet pi vm is kinda crazy tho xD
I run pihole in a dietpi VM
point all my machines to it
Don't have DNS resolution unless pihole is up
thats a choice
Full on ad blocking
Mods scatter
same but i use a raspberry pi and tailscale for all devices so i get adblocking remotely too
I have yet still to understand all the various use cases for tailscale
I have tailscale
I just don't know when to use it for what
Not how, but when/where
i run docker containers on my vps only accessible via my devices connected to it
I see
I could run my matrix bot on my VPS, and have it talk to the stable diffusion API on my home desktop
Without exposing it to the public
my router doesn't let me configure that :<
pi hole i mean. I watched a video about tailscale awhile ago
I am behind CGNAT on my ISP. Tailscale gives you a 100.x IPs for all you devices, in a mesh, so all your devices are connected together in a network only accessible to each other.
ill look at it tmw
isn't 100.x in the public ip space?
It is. I don't know exactly how tailscale works
Is there a way to understand APIs? Each explanation hasn't been great lol
like web apis?
Just in general how they work, what they do
they do things
Each API is different, just gotta read the docs for each one
How do they work what do they do? How do they allow 2 apps to connect
theyre ways we tell computers to do things
Programs
I've already lost the plot
There's no definitive rules and protocols for an api
I've lost my sanity
Are .dll files a form of API?
No a DLL is a library
No
no they're libraries
Oh yeah
They are Dynamically Linked Libraries
Dynamic Linkd L that
Common functions
An API is just an interface that one program can use to interact with another
Used by various apps
you can define api calls from dlls tho
meow
an API endpoint is essentially one program listening on a particular place, it's usually documented by the developer of the API. Another developer can read this documentation and send messages to the API endpoint. I.e. 1 app is listening, 1 app sends a message. What it does exactly depends on the implementation
@frosty thistle hi
bro changed his pfp
Whats up bro
hewwo
MEOW
@frosty thistle hi
when did i do that
Instead of every app containing code for everything, they use DLLs which are common functions apps can use without including every bit of functionality in the app itself.
meow

Ceiling fan
Wby
idk
meowwww
How are you
Thank you that helps
i dont remember changing it
An application that contains all the code to run everything standalone is called statically compiled
i think ur high bro
an AC vent bro
Bro when did static compilation enter the plot? 
I dont like studying for college
I'm telling him the difference between dynamic and static 🙂
what class
when did dynamic enter the plot 
tell him the difference between chungus and chonker
I thought we talking APIs
2nd year
DLL question
He asked about DLLs

what class u studing for tho
@frosty thistle i reported vulnerability of college website, got marks as reward
Imagine asking about APIs only to then ask about DLLs... 
dih
Advanced maths
Who marked u for death
Finally
congrats btw you big dumb nerd
Probability statistics linear programming
Idk how to describe more
someone who says maths instead of math. Mathematics is a plural. So Maths. Not math! About damn time
Myself
ooo
dlls and apis are related
welll can be
Not directly 
Thnx
yeah that sucks to study for bro.
so they probably said that cuz they saw an api call be defined from a dll

like the sussy amongus macro vba win32api definitions
Kernel
I should get a blanket tbh
Corn
Syscall is just the Kernel's API
Interrupts
