Hey, always good to be proud

[hollow stream]

Not overly so, tis one of the seven deadly sins

My laptop is a MacBook tho

I know

sacrilege

[glass nest]

It's ok to have hipster tendancies 😄

[hollow stream]

I do like it though it is stable

And it has a lot of ram

[loud marlin]

yea... if you are ok with it then sure. just know it might be issues...

[hollow stream]

Macs don't support dualbooting from anything except for windows

For some reason

I was going to get an older laptop or one that was broken and fix itself

But I'm only gonna do that if I'm

Ya know

good

A VM is perfect for what I need right now though

[loud marlin]

might be better choice if you need mac as main laptop

[glass nest]

You're already good. And best way to learn to hands-on. If you can get a cheap laptop you think you can repair (and can afford it easily0 shrug. go for it.

[hollow stream]

I'm a uni student, so I don't have a ton of money atm haha

[loud marlin]

VM is 98% time goto

[glass nest]

Gumtree/Craigslist/Whever similar your country has

[hollow stream]

Ebay probably's best

[loud marlin]

just some local 2nd hand shop or so

[glass nest]

I remember when eBay was better. use to be a for-real aution site where people were getting rid of stuff. Now it's 90% ebay shops and dropshippers

[hollow stream]

Yeah I see what you mean tbf

I do use it sometimes

I sold an old wetsuit on it the other dayt

[glass nest]

Yeah, me too, very ocassionaly.

[hollow stream]

Yeah

[glass nest]

Usually to get a rough value on some old stuff I got 😄

[hollow stream]

"Is it worth selling this?" lmao

[naive violet]

Filter by condition: used

[glass nest]

pretty much. I got some old computer games and stuff

Annoyingly nothing rare

[hollow stream]

Anything rare you need to get on it asap

It'll go so quickly

[hot cairn]

I still find some good deals on eBay

It’s okay

Fb marketplace is leagues better now though, or Reddit

[sick lance]

I used to use eBay all the time, now I seldom do.

[glass nest]

Do your people call it Ebay eh?

[sick lance]

My fb marketplace is full of Flipper Zero scams.

[split compass]

E-Beh

[hollow stream]

ehbuh

[sick lance]

Although, this sort of stuff pops up from time to time.

[glass nest]

As much as giving bezo more money... Amazon is just too convenient

[hollow stream]

That's kinda sick

[split compass]

Also, our country only has three letters you have to remember to spell it. C-eh N-eh D-eh

[glass nest]

Oh yeah, I have an Amiga versiohn of street Fighter 2

[sick lance]

I loved Jungle Strike.

[glass nest]

Lemmings tho

Also Worms and Hogs of War. awesome games

[sick lance]

I hated that game.

The was the first game I got for the Playstation and traded it for Tekken.

[split compass]

And all, DRM free.
No online-activation codes to worry about with their servers being shut off.
Those were the days.

[hollow stream]

These games are all long before my time

I grew up with the Wii and Xbox 360

[glass nest]

Yah. i remember renting new games for a week

[sick lance]

Some Amiga games needed the manual.

Escape from Monkey Island came with 24 floppy disks and had a puzzle wheel to solve to play the game.

[glass nest]

Also Demo Discs from magazine covers. They were traded a lot in my school

[split compass]

I miss being able to spend $5 or $10 to play a game for a week, find out if it is something I want to invest in. Or just power through on rental.

[blazing granite]

wow a lot of save icons 😉 😂

[split compass]

I had Roger Wilco on I think 20ish 5¼"

[glass nest]

Captain Keen anyone?

I remember by 1st 'hacking' was messing about with Duke Nukem 3D levels

[blazing granite]

I know capitan crunch, pickard, etc but keen nop

[split compass]

They had such an easy/intuitive (IMHO) level editor

[glass nest]

and editing the settings text file 😄

[hollow stream]

I played a lot of uplink when I was a kid too

[blazing granite]

maybe before my time 😂

[hollow stream]

The Introversion game

[glass nest]

Geek :p

[hollow stream]

I knoww

I was also terrible at it

[glass nest]

GTA was the 'don't tell the parents' game

[hollow stream]

Whenever I went around to my mate's houses we always played COD:BO1

That was my "don't tell the parents" game haha

[blazing granite]

it sounds bad 😂

[sick lance]

Black Ops was an amazing game.

I lost many weekends to that.

[glass nest]

For the time, it kinda was

[hollow stream]

It was amazingly fun

[glass nest]

Speaking of losing weekends - Scrubs didja see my wooden pens?

[tardy hazel]

hey folks i need some advice from you if you are doing bug bounty

[glass nest]

Will we get a cut of the bounty?

[tardy hazel]

yes

[glass nest]

Ooer. What bug bounty site are you using?

[tardy hazel]

it's not technical issue brother

[naive violet]

@glass nest circuit boards are in the UK, but apparently won't be delivered until the 19th
Hopefully they'll just do it

[glass nest]

Careful, the fates are always listening

[naive violet]

Still waiting on a handful of bits from China but it's enough to get a working board

[tardy hazel]

This happens to me every time while playing CTF and doing bug bounty. I want to finish it as early as possible, which is why I don't give the required time for hunting. For example, when I'm hunting, there's always 'bounty, bounty, bounty' in my mind, because of which I don't enjoy the process. I know I should look for every request and response properly and be good for vuln, but I don't even spend enough time on the target. The same goes for CTF; I don't spend enough time, and after some time, I go for the solution.

how to overcome this mentality

[glass nest]

If you don't enjoy it, Maybe focus your time on something else?

[tardy hazel]

no i enjoy but i don't give enough time for target

can't focus properly

[glass nest]

Well, actually enjoying it is important to maintain focus. Are you only picking up bounties with high rewards?

[tardy hazel]

yes! xD

[glass nest]

See, thats one of the issues. 'If I get this i get $10k' is all thats running through your mind. Do some low-end ones to build up experience

As many other folk will tell you most of the things you'll find (at least at the start) will likely be duplicates

[tardy hazel]

or maybe with vdp only

[glass nest]

@sick lance You've done bounties - How do you keep focus?

[blazing granite]

that's today's problem, everybody wants everything now, all the glitz and glory from the beginning at the very first second and with a big cheque 😂

[tardy hazel]

sad but true

i wanna overcome this mentality

[hollow stream]

I used RDP inside an RDP
RDP-ception

[whole yew]

getting through the tedious parts is what gets you paid. "drive for show, putt for dough" as the golf saying goes. The takeaway from that should be "attention to detail and proper set up is what makes you successful, not the showy 300m drive"

[glass nest]

It's good that you are having a go though. aim for some low-hanging fruit. Any successes will give you a boost

You are a wise serpent, juun.

[tardy hazel]

i have done it on past, i have already got my first bounty, which is for sure out of luck.

[glass nest]

Remember that high-reward ones are high reward for a reason

[tardy hazel]

is here anyone doing bug bounty currently ? i wanna ask few questions

[blazing granite]

I don't think much has change in the 5 minutes that you posted the same comment 😂

[boreal scarab]

Finnaly finished FTPS... I hate it so much

Can FTP just have a 1 click "hey secure me" button?

[tardy hazel]

haha okay cool, I will select low reward target and start hunting.

one more thing

should i prepare for cert or bug bounty ?

[boreal scarab]

Config was a bitch, had to ensure folders had correct perms.... like 3 hours learning it

I understood that reference

[sick lance]

I know that room,

Recovery

[hollow stream]

It's the Metasploit Exploitation room

[ember tartan]

I just started doing the Complete Beginner course.

When should I start playing in the "easy" rooms?

Cause I tried at the very beginning and found it way too difficult.

Is there a course I need to finish before I make another attempt?

[glass nest]

There are rooms recommended during the paths

[sick lance]

The rooms in each path use the skills taught in the path.

[hollow stream]

Ooh I like GNOME

It's got a cool UI

[mossy river]

Did you go straight in and start with the Complete Beginner path?

[glass nest]

Also, each of the rooms have a little tag on the bottom, so you can decide if you've learn that thing yet or not

[devout palm]

Does raspberry pi 4 come with a hard disk or something? Do i need to get an SD card as well?

[ember tartan]

At the beginning I did.

But during the Complete Beginner course it recommended 2 other rooms.

So I did those first.

And then I attempted to try one of the rooms. And couldn't figure it out.

It had to do with forensics.

[hollow stream]

You'll need to get an SD card and something to write it with IIRC

Some might come with a SD with Rasbian installed

[sick lance]

Raspeberry pi are about the size of a hard disk, of not smaller.

[ember tartan]

I'll check that out right now.

[sand trench]

well there are those super rare super small hdd:s that were used for cameras a bit before sd cards took off

[sick lance]

Yeah, but they won't be shipped with new pi's.

[sand trench]

true true true

[ember tartan]

The room I attempted was Disgruntled.

...the user installed a package with elevated privileges.

Yup.

Do I need to finish a course???

[split compass]

Web application I made for use by my team at work has a gif of Nedry saying this next to the password field.

[hollow stream]

Beautiful, I should've used it for my assignment

[shut hawk]

halfway through my assignment, 10K words 😢

[sick lance]

Rookie numbers. 😄

[hollow stream]

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[sick lance]

What's the max, do you have a tolerance, and do tables/appendices/figures count ?

[shut hawk]

no I've done 10K words and I'm halfway

it needs to be around 100 pages

[mossy river]

what are you writing?

[shut hawk]

my NEA

Computer science project

[sick lance]

So no word count, but page count?

[mossy river]

Unless you are also including your code, it should not need to be anywhere need that.

[shut hawk]

nah, thats pretty normal for the project

[shut hawk]

what about it?

[mossy river]

Disagree

[sick lance]

It's a question on the limit?

[shut hawk]

Oh, there's no limit lol

[shut hawk]

If you can find me an example where its less than 10,000 I'd agree, but everywhere I've looked its been a lot more

And my teacher says the same

Unless you are getting mixedup between the GCSE and A-Level version

[mossy river]

My friend completed Computer Science at A-Levels, no where near 10,000 words.

You are sacrificing all quality if you are A: required to write a certain amount of pages and B: are writing more than 10,000 words for an A-Level project

[chilly veldt]

This durum is sooo bad 💀💀

[shut hawk]

Did they do H446?

[mossy river]

I wouldn't do it, it's an NEA anyway

[shut hawk]

You have to....

It's worth 20% of the grade

[chilly veldt]

Like it's so thin that the bread is literally taking a whole trip around the durum💀 on top of the bread, so I get 2 layers of bread

[mossy river]

20% is nothing and you're not required to make a high quality piece of work. Ergo "NEA"

[shut hawk]

this is what the exam board is looking for, which is worth an A* - see how much it is?

[shut hawk]

Yeah but I can't get an A* without it :(

[mossy river]

Spoke to my friend he doesn't remember what exam board he did but he said he didn't need to do anything close to that and he got an A

I think you're being ripped off bestie

[shut hawk]

Idk. Every project I've looked at, and all my friends are closely similar

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mossy river]

I've looked at the spec, there's nothing irl they could get me to create that would require a 100 page report

I would waffle 90% of it

[shut hawk]

Once it's done, if it's allowed ill send you it to see what you think

[mossy river]

Do you have to write about government compliance?

I tried reading the pdf you sent but I have no idea what I am looking at

[shut hawk]

No?

[mossy river]

Testing table?

Design choices?

[shut hawk]

Testing table yes

Design choice maybe?

[mossy river]

I see interviews on here, in Uni, unless it's directly specified, you can usually just write an improvements sections with all of that

1 page

[buoyant sage]

busted

[mossy river]

Half of this looks completely useless lmfao

I pray for your soul

[buoyant sage]

not iterally

[shut hawk]

It's so painful

[mossy river]

Whole pages with just code on them is disgusting

[shut hawk]

😴

[shut hawk]

I'm almost done with the Analysis & Design section

Once that's done, the Development & Testing will be a breeze and I can just copy paste code onto the pages

This has been my life for the past 3 days, eat write sleep

[mossy river]

Just wait until you get to University

[rapid merlin]

Now that has got to be the saddest thing I’ve seen for a while

[mossy river]

I didn't celebrate Christmas or New Years because of the sheer amount of assignments I was assigned

[shut hawk]

(to be fair, this was supposed to be done over a year but I left it till 3 weeks so)

[rapid merlin]

That’s unfortunate

[mossy river]

That's the University attitude 😎

[shut hawk]

I thought ur supposed to learn time management in uni smh

[mossy river]

My mother was very upset that I didn't go home for Christmas

[mossy river]

You do but their time management doesn't account for you having a job because they expect your Student Finance and Parents to pay for everything

I'm financially independent, if I didn't work I'd be eating dirt rn

[shut hawk]

oof

yeah I feel so drained and tired, can't imagine what it would be like in uni where the workload is 10x as much

[mossy river]

You should see my redbull stash

[crude stump]

Bless your heart

Get it

[sick lance]

Nah, I've seen worse.

[rapid merlin]

I feel bad for you, I cringed so hard when I read that dudes about me

[shut hawk]

Rats?

They drive me crazy

[mossy river]

And the workload isn't that much if you only do University.
Although my course could schedule it... a lot better..

My advice is just stick to a routine and do work when you can.
But enjoy it, first year was a breeze, go out and make friends

[shut hawk]

I have a feeling the first year will be a breeze

[boreal scarab]

Is it neatly stacked up like a pyramid?

[sick lance]

I made friends in uni.

I wouldn't give them answers to the exams and they stopped talking to me.

[shut hawk]

Not to sound cocky, but looking at the syllabus it seems a bit basic - but I guess its to get everybody up to scratch

[sick lance]

Over rated.

[shut hawk]

Things like learning to program, the absolute basics

[boreal scarab]

You have friends? I call BS!

[shut hawk]

Aren't you like 20 years older than most uni students tho?

[mossy river]

Most courses don't let 1st year count towards your final grade so I wouldn't stress about being perfect.
But ensure you ask plenty of questions about the assignment structure and all that for second year.

My course recommends you learn LATEX in the first year

[sick lance]

No, I don't..

They stopped talking to me, that's literally the point...

[blazing granite]

good riddance, who wants people like that in your life 🙂

[sick lance]

No, they're people in the course older than myself.

[mossy river]

Yes.
For someone who didn't come from A-Levels, if my course didn't do this, I would have been screwed on the first year because I didn't have the mathematics skill to pass.

[boreal scarab]

Huh, fair enough

Gives me time to prepare then, that's good

[mossy river]

I don't really have friends 🥲

There's people I talk to but I didn't really stick around in first year so I don't really know anyone

[abstract oriole]

can we bypass XSS if there is sanitization?

or should we try another parameter

[shut hawk]

depends on the sanitization

[mossy river]

[sick lance]

Probbaly best, some people just want their work done for them.

[mossy river]

You can bypass the sanitsation but it's not always possible

[abstract oriole]

yeah i read this also

[shut hawk]

@abstract oriole What sort of sanitization is it?

[mossy river]

Have you thought that maybe it's just not possible?

[shut hawk]

[mossy river]

I'm assuming this is a bug bounty

[crude stump]

Hopefully I

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/nod-kermit-nod-nodding-gif-24624072

[abstract oriole]

there are many type of sanitization i had found, some completely remove <>/ , some converts them to &% etc

[shut hawk]

that is encoding (the %)

[abstract oriole]

gotta

[shut hawk]

sanitisation != encoding

[abstract oriole]

can we bypass encoding?

or just stop looking for XSS if you found encoding

[shut hawk]

if it's URL encoding the input you give it, not that I'm aware of

[mossy river]

Try looking for a different input form and hope they didn't use encoding or sanitisation on them all?

[abstract oriole]

ok np i should try searching for encoding rather than sanitization i guess

[abstract oriole]

that's exactly what im doing xD

Now I'm following the docs, but first time ever setting up a mariaDB, so I am so damn lost

I reorganized my desk and now it feels totally new

great feeling

Hello

[jagged zealot]

I have problem

[devout palm]

What's up?

[crude stump]

What’s your problemo

Ight

I see i see

Very interesting problem idk if I have a answer

I’m baffled

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/bartlett-west-wing-head-desk-gif-6012433

[jagged zealot]

I am in my first introduction to cybersecurity course I have two answers to the choice between Offensive Security and Defensive Security. I responded by choosing the offensive security answer
but when I click send it tells me that your answer is wrong. What should I do?

[blazing granite]

it's OK, you almost there, you have it 😂

[boreal scarab]

Not if MariaDB doesn't even properly authenticate you...

[blazing granite]

that b*tch 😂

[naive violet]

It means your answer is wrong

[blazing granite]

try again and provide the right answer

[crude stump]

Usually you might have to read again to find the answer

[jagged zealot]

here is the title of the course chapter: What is Offensive Security?

[crude stump]

We can’t give hints here but if you go in #room-hints

[jagged zealot]

that's the title of the course:Intro to Offensive Security

[crude stump]

Oh

Woops

🤦‍♂️

Thought that was a question my bad

[buoyant tree]

....

[crude stump]

Did you figure the question out tho?

[molten sky]

is it asking what you should start with or something?

[jagged zealot]

yes the question is between the two answers:
Offensive Security
Defensive Security
what she will choose

[molten sky]

not many people go straight into offensive as a job

[crude stump]

Unless you really understand offensive security

[jagged zealot]

thank very much les amis vos reponse sont juste

[crude stump]

Your welcome

[jagged zealot]

Are There New certs with a modern Design?

How do i get them?

[chilly veldt]

[potent thorn]

hey how to join the voice channels?

i have got a freaking problem

i am connected to my school wifi

[potent thorn]

anyone pls?

[ornate cosmos]

Yeah But its the old one

Lol

[near hawk]

If you go into the path that you have completed, on the right side you can download the certificate

[simple shard]

but for some fucking reason i cannot connect to internet on vm, i can connect, but nothing loads except microsoft searches, all other websites dont reach the internet

[buoyant tree]

getting the old template also

the vm works perfectly on normal wifi
I disabled firewall, still nothing works
I also turned on vpn on my main machine but still nothing

[ornate cosmos]

Maybe your schools has a Firewall?

[sick lance]

New generation certs will be new style.

[ornate cosmos]

Ah ok

[simple shard]

what difference does it make if i use vpn 🤔

[devout palm]

Stop trying to bypass your school's restrictions.

[bleak dagger]

1984

[chilly veldt]

The reason why you get the old style is because you generated before the new layout was made, the new certificates you get (if you finish a new path) will be the new style, the certificate is only generated once and will just post the same image afterwards

[bleak dagger]

why should you not

[chilly veldt]

Now this may sound dumb, but is the network adaptor on your VM set to host-only?

[sick lance]

Why should you?

[ornate cosmos]

So only the ones that i never had will be New style?

[chilly veldt]

Yes

[shut hawk]

That's a shame

[ornate cosmos]

Thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #7 - 806)

[chilly veldt]

Either that or they reset everyone who has already generated a certificate and you can get it with the new style

[bleak dagger]

freedom is good

if, like me, you rely on your school or public libraries for internet access besides your smartphone then allways being watched and not having access to so much of the internet isnt nice

[glass nest]

If you are using a service that a company is providing for free (be it a school or library) why on earth would you want to take advantage of and exploit that?

[bleak dagger]

seriously the stuff they restrict & lenghts they go to track you is kinda surprising

[sand trench]

......äöäöäö......

[blazing granite]

that's the price to pay, their internet their rules, you don't like it get your own

[bleak dagger]

how so ?

[bleak dagger]

because i can just move out, get a job, buy wifi & my own computer etc etc

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/is-that-english-adam-engvid-are-you-speaking-english-what-language-is-that-gif-26135127

[glass nest]

Like - 'You can download and use this app for free, but you need to watch an ad every 15 mins'. Thats the cost. The internet you are using is free for you? But it's heavily restricted because the company that provides it downt want youi accessing questionable matieral

But the alternative is no internet, and you are free to choose that option.

[blazing granite]

that's the sad true, if it's free you can't complain and you have to play by their rules, that's how the world work

[shut hawk]

You must have agreed to an acceptable usage policy when joining the network

[smoky osprey]

You all just reminded me of Netzero

omg they are still around lol

[blazing granite]

I'm 1 not zero 😂

[glass nest]

Kevin has been typing for ages... Wonder if it'll be a rant on how it's unfair...

[smoky osprey]

Advertisement-based hardware is a thing now. There is a company called Telly that gives "free" 55-inch flatscreens that has a second mini screen with ads

But it has a damn camera watching you to make sure you don't cover the ads

And....they of course track everything you watch and sell the data. But...I think streaming sites all do too

[desert shuttle]

Crazy

[glass nest]

TV's did aswell. not as much info, but certainly viewing habits.

[blazing granite]

he's writing his biography maybe 😂

[desert shuttle]

lol

[buoyant tree]

does that apply for public wifis

such as mcdonald's

[smoky osprey]

You think most cable/satellite providers track viewing habits? I didn't think basic cable was responsive enough for them to see what you watch.

[glass nest]

I get it though. If thats the ONLY way you can be online, it can be freustrating to have heavy restrictions. But on the other hand, a smart person would find a way to make that work for them until they can get access to the stuff they're not yet able to

[shut hawk]

*it depends

Most times, yes

Normally comes up on the captive portal

[glass nest]

AIO - Generally, yeah. Thats what that webpage that appears when you first log on to it

[buoyant tree]

Hmm what if there isn't a captive portal

[glass nest]

Then you've likely agreed to it on a previous time.

[shut hawk]

👆

[blazing granite]

it's like that term of agreements that nobody ever reads 😂

[smoky osprey]

Small businesses will sometimes just share a WPA key without agreeing to anything

[glass nest]

Thing is, IF you be unethical and bypass it somehow, then you can't complain when it's restricted. Plus, It'll like say something like 'By using this, you are agreeing to this' so it won't make a difference

[buoyant tree]

hmm

[smoky osprey]

[blazing granite]

even that, some people just do it to feel good about themself so it's not completly selfless

[bleak dagger]

why would i tell people who dont care about myself

i want nobody to know about me

[smoky osprey]

I think true altruism does exist

[bleak dagger]

i hope to die alone & forgotten

[blazing granite]

don't worry the feeling is mutual 😂

[glass nest]

Oh yeah - Thats why I try to be nice. because it makes me feel good. Maybe thats selfish, but shrug. Always better to put good into the world

[rapid merlin]

How do I register for a CVE

[smoky osprey]

It's practically impossible to change your intentions. I don't think enjoying doing kind acts is selfish

[rapid merlin]

I’m pretty positive I just found a reflective XSS

[glass nest]

@bleak dagger I don't know if you were being serious, melodramatic or even joking, however - If this is truly how you feel, please get help. This is something that likley IS free but please call someone https://www.helpguide.org/find-help.htm

[blazing granite]

All this time in this life makes me believe differently but that's my experience so I have to agree to disagree

[smoky osprey]

Fair enough. It's a debate that's been going on for thousands of years.

[bleak dagger]

why would i need help

that is how i feel lol its normal

[glass nest]

Solely based on the comments you've typed so far.

At least save that link, or get a number in your country from there and have it to hand just in case. Feeling crappy for a long period may normalise it in your mind, but thats not the end of the line. Life is awesome, ups and downs - And I know, I'm old.

You can't always get what you want 😂

[glass nest]

not with that attitude

[chilly veldt]

I will not be able to walk tomorrow 🤣

[glass nest]

Haha, Leg day?

[pallid lotus]

Technically applies to all internet connections. Your ISP have an acceptable use policy for your home network too

[chilly veldt]

Leg day after cardio day

[glass nest]

ouch. don't forget rest is as important as the workout

[chilly veldt]

Did 4 sets of 5x60kg deadlifts

[glass nest]

just not too much rest 😄

[bleak dagger]

sometimes you cant

[chilly veldt]

I did rest, I rested for over 24 hours!

[glass nest]

Perhaps, but I like to stay positive if I can

[bleak dagger]

i did everything one billion percent correctly and got nowhere

ill keep trying

but i know i might get nowhere

[chilly veldt]

I got 15 minutes until the gym closes, so I gotta get the last few sets in

[pallid lotus]

... maths aside

[glass nest]

Somtimes you can make all the right choices and still fall short. thats not failure, thats life (paraphrased from Jean-Luc picard)

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/do-or-do-not-gif-19616599

[shut hawk]

doesn't apply here clearly 😂

[buoyant tree]

hmm but public wifi's with no captive portal don't require any AUP's

I should probably read AUP's when I cant sleep

[glass nest]

But by using the service, there will likely be a tacit agreement.

[blazing granite]

sometimes you win, but you always learn 🙂

[pallid lotus]

They do, just whether they pass that on to the consumers of the wifi is another matter

Would be interesting to see how that stood up in court

[glass nest]

Yeah. From the viewing gallery.

[buoyant tree]

interesting loophole tho

[pallid lotus]

Nah, either way you'd be in trouble for your own actions, so there's no loophole there

[bleak dagger]

when everything is subotimal... i was going to say something positive but i feel physically sick when i think of things that are 'suboptimal', it is disgusting.

[pallid lotus]

Just whether there are consequences from to ISP to the business offering the public wi-fi

I'd suspect not, honestly. No chance they actually care

[glass nest]

Shrug. Would be impossible for everything to be 'optimal'

Cos then there'd be nothing to compare it to

[sand trench]

dohackme as there is no tryhackme

[glass nest]

Yeah, we got offered a public wifi thingy fo our shops. Part of the package was getting the persons details for our marketing, which the user had to agree to befire using it

[pallid lotus]

🤮

[glass nest]

Wasn't really worth it for us though. People are in the shop for like 15 mins

[shut hawk]

No WiFi....for 15 MINUTES?!

That's a lot to ask, Esqy

[sand trench]

the reason shadow has so many blu rays and dvd:s is for when the internet goes poof for a few hours or days

[bleak dagger]

i allways find myself in these toxic spirals thinking about how suboptimal and disgusting things are, it controls me. ive thought about this before & it is possible, it is simply perfect. relative to what ? doesnt matter

[glass nest]

And THATs why I recommended that site.

[blazing granite]

I still remember life before wifi, but nowadays we can't be without wifi for 15 minutes 😂

[glass nest]

If you can call it 'life'

[bleak dagger]

no for real i had no data so i couldnt message my friends & i was outside alone today : /

i wish my parents could just pay on time

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, the world sucks.
Up to you how you approach that though. You want to sit around wallowing? Fine, but you'll find it a lot easier if you push through and find something to engage yourself with.

[bleak dagger]

it wont fix anything

[sand trench]

shadow remembers the old days of when swedish tv 4 channel sent cartoons and anime on tv from 06:00 to 10:00 on saturdays

good times good times

[glass nest]

You'll be surprised. Help is out there. All you have to do is make contact.

[pallid lotus]

Also, yeah, go speak to someone who's dedicated their time to listening to this stuff. They'll do a much better job of it than random people on the internet

[bleak dagger]

i cant escape it, you dont understand my entire world is inside of it dude

[blazing granite]

instead of wishing do something about it, complain and wishing doesn't solve anything

[glass nest]

I'll post it again --> https://www.helpguide.org/find-help.htm

Even if it's just to rant with someone to listen.

[bleak dagger]

if i even mention aything related to money it ends up bad, trust me

[glass nest]

i just rant at Muiri. Much easier.

[pallid lotus]

Of course I understand. All of our lives are inside of it smh. Literally just a case of whether you stick your head in the sand or stand up and look around you. There's a lot of shite in this world.
That doesn't mean you have to collapse on a couch somewhere in a dramatic implosion of sentimentality

[sand trench]

....

[bleak dagger]

ranting is bad, bottle it up & take it out on future children 😉

[pallid lotus]

You can accept that the world is shite and still move forward 🤷‍♂️

[sand trench]

reminds shadow that they should contact their psychiatrist again

[glass nest]

That sarcasm tells me that you know the truth. I take this stuff seriously, man 🙂

[blazing granite]

when I was a child in Argentina TV started at noon and finished at midnight 4 channels only 😂

[bleak dagger]

ill give this a look

[glass nest]

I bet it wasn't even in English too!

[sand trench]

well the tv was off between midnight and around 06:00 so yeah

[glass nest]

Thanks kevin, I appreicate it.

[sand trench]

with that shadow means no sending on said channel

[bleak dagger]

i mean i have many times before but never actually tried it lol maybe i should

[blazing granite]

nobody spoke English at that time, I went to a private institute, and we were like 5 or 6 in the class 😂

[sand trench]

so much learning english from gba games

[pallid lotus]

I didn't say anything about simplifying stuff 🤷‍♂️
Go speak to someone who's qualified to deal with this.

[sand trench]

and runescape

listen to muiri.... he might not always be sane but when it comes to seeking help from qualified people he is sane

[bleak dagger]

i didnt know you were just saying to do that

i thought you were saying to like move on

[pallid lotus]

There is no moving on 😆
You said it yourself -- shit is everywhere.
The only bit of that you control is how you respond to it. You can collapse in a heap of self-pity and complain about it, or you can find something to focus on and push your way forward 🤷‍♂️
Either way, speak to someone who's qualified to deal with it

[glass nest]

This is all pretty deep for 11pm 😄

[bleak dagger]

i dont complain i think

[bleak dagger]

gmt too ?

[pallid lotus]

Tell me about it -- I've got dishes to do, a dog to walk, and work tomorrow 😆

[pallid lotus]

... last ten minutes aside

[bleak dagger]

i know

[glass nest]

Can't neglect the dog, Muiri.

[pallid lotus]

Honestly, she's going to be much more pissed off with me for taking her for a walk than she would be if I just left her in her bed 😆

[blazing granite]

even more deep it's 1am here 😂

[chilly veldt]

I got thrown out of my gym, lol

[crude stump]

How

[bleak dagger]

the dog can walk itself, cant it ?

[glass nest]

I guess Dogs do become like their owners

[pallid lotus]

What, old and cranky?

[grizzled crystal]

I can relate

[glass nest]

you aint old, Muiri

[pallid lotus]

Tell that to my brain

[chilly veldt]

I took too long too late, so they closed mid set, and announced people had to leave

next time start running and play catch me 🙂

[crude stump]

I find football un amusing

[bleak dagger]

duo is his name

his name is duo

[loud marlin]

my neighbor (from Germany) have cat that they named she Adolf... which is funny when she calls cat around house and so =/

[blazing granite]

I never got the duolingo thing, I tried once and it was boring and not helpful at all

[loud marlin]

well... not funny but funny

[bleak dagger]

the pokemon vocab is optimal ofc ofc

[chilly veldt]

There weren't any employees

[blazing granite]

has a funny moustache? 😂

[loud marlin]

damn... will be funny at last to do so 🙂

[pallid lotus]

Esqy -- I'm thinking about building a sideboard thing for my sofa with a hidden vertical drawer to house alcohol. Going to put runners along the top to keep it in place. Was thinking casters on the bottom to make it easy to move but might be a bit heavy. You used roller conveyors before?

[bleak dagger]

i dont like duo but my spanish teacher still reccomends it to the classroom as a supplement which i think is suboptimal

[loud marlin]

nah... just expensive cat for competition thing...

[crude stump]

Kitler

[bleak dagger]

thats funny because youre not allowed to find it funny

[glass nest]

It'd work Muiri. If it's a longer unit, you can just put 6 wheels on it. that being said, can you see yourself moving it a lot?

[pallid lotus]

... it'll have alcohol in it -- what do you think?

[loud marlin]

special in netherlands... is not funny, but funny

[pallid lotus]

My issue with just adding more wheels is the weight. It's going on LVT and I'd rather not damage it if I can avoid it

i.e. distribute the weight as evenly as possible

[blazing granite]

the Spanish was atrocious and the sentences didn't make sense, a friend was trying to learn Spanish with duolingo 😂

[pallid lotus]

Although, yes, will be a good 1.6m long

[glass nest]

Yeah, thats true. Could jus use those felt pads. Will protect the floor a bit more. Or if you really need wheels on the bottom, just get rubberised ones.

[pallid lotus]

Definitely needs to be easy to move

I also don't want to be using wheels with too large a diameter -- cuts down on the alcohol space

Sofa arm is about 90mm high and I want to match that. Already going to be losing 10-15mm of that with the storage and outlets I'm sticking in the top

[bleak dagger]

rubber wheels can still cause damage, my room has wooden floors with dents from those office chairs with thin rubber wheels

no, im not obease

[pallid lotus]

Thinking if I'mreally creative with the layout of the pull-out section, I can probably just about get two rows of bottles into the remaining space

... which at 1.6m long might just be enough to house the alcohol collection

[sand trench]

and narnia and harry potter and donkey kong country

[glass nest]

I mean.. For the drawer, you can always use counterweights. Or a small jack with a motor and a remote :p

[pallid lotus]

To do.. what?

[glass nest]

So the bottles can rise from the unit.

[pallid lotus]

LMFAO, do not tempt me to build a whole system to retrieve bottles

Vending machine style

[umbral bay]

Almost Superbowl time 🇺🇸

[pallid lotus]

Select your liquour on your phone and it just rises to the top of the cabinet

[glass nest]

Muiri. Cmon. You're in a community with me and James. this is VERY do-able.

[pallid lotus]

That's what worries me

Like, I genuinely could do that

And now I'm actually tempted to try

[bleak dagger]

if you want to get really creative build a vertical carosel thing

[blazing granite]

@glass nest and the seed was planted 😂

[pallid lotus]

Thinking two layers of horizontal carousels right now

[glass nest]

I've seen some really creative solutions, but a 'scissor' style jack is a good one. Stays hidden, and looks like it mysteriously rises

[bleak dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/eve-light-bulb-gif-26352829

[pallid lotus]

Then have a lift system that interlinks them + rises to the top

[crude stump]

James said you were looking to give woodworking a pop. something like this is a great 1st project.

Oh, I've done woodworking projects before

Fine with the woodworking side of it. The electronics would be an experience though

What I really want to get into is metal working though

[glass nest]

Hidden speakers that chime an angelic 'Ahhhhh' as it rises?

May aswell buy the Arduino/pi now. It's gonna happen

Funny you should say that. I've been playing around with smart lighting recently

then to the doom music

[pallid lotus]

Do not put it past me to add in dry ice and/or a smoke machine with some white LEDs

[pallid lotus]

I already have some Wemos chips spare...

And three spare Pis, for that matter

[glass nest]

Depending on the bottle that rises... Get some Loch Loman on for the Whisky

[crude stump]

What is a pi

[shut hawk]

Might as well make it a whole disco

[bleak dagger]

what if you just cast a a spell instead of wasting your time faking this

[pallid lotus]

Nah, not my style

Whole house is a combination of modern sleek and scandinavian sleek

[glass nest]

kevin - It wouldn't be too hard. Just get on of those 'Harry potter' wand remotes

So lots of greys, whites, and oaks

With some dashes of wine red and bottle green thrown in 😁

[glass nest]

Mine is a combination of mad science lab, workshop and mess

[crude stump]

[glass nest]

Oak is expensive 😦

[shut hawk]

Okay, but for the music I have a great suggestion

https://tenor.com/view/20th-century-fox-logo-intro-cinema-studio-de-production-gif-10513829

[pallid lotus]

Tell me about it. Still not sure what the plan is for this unit

[crude stump]

Is 1 dollar enough

[glass nest]

you know to get wood other than Oak or Pine, I gotta go to a specialist timberyard in Somerset

[pallid lotus]

Thinking probably an oak veneer over plywood to avoid spending thousands

[shut hawk]

https://youtu.be/fFPHaHmt8I0?si=F69hyT4CiYbYRX0i

[glass nest]

never been a fan of veneering. gets to finicky. and smelly

Wood and stain, thats how I usually roll

[pallid lotus]

I mean, if you've got a better idea I'd love to hear it

Other issue with straight up using oak planks would be depth. Not sure if I can get them thin enough to avoid taking up half the space

[glass nest]

Yeah. and would double the weight of the unit

[pallid lotus]

This literally just needs to go between the sofa and the wall -- it's about 30cm width by 90cm height

Yeah

[bleak dagger]

i like modern composite materials, natural ones too

hemp's applications are limitless

the cost is insanely low

and i bet you can make it look cool

like forged carbon fiber

[glass nest]

Muiri - I got this lovely wood lkast time I was there. I've used small bits before, but got a plank this time. Called 'Purpleheart'. Naturally purple, it's gorgeous but a 6.5ft plank cost me like £70

[pallid lotus]

Oooooh, we do love some purple

[glass nest]

It's more dense that oak. Feel like imma blunt a few blades on it 😄

theres a pen made of it

Was gray when I cut it, but is isopropyl alcohol and 20 mins in the sun... Boom.

Thats what it was like when I got it. That second one - Wenge...The grain polishes up amazing

[crude stump]

Esqy do you have a lathe?

[glass nest]

Yup 🙂

[crude stump]

Those scare me

[glass nest]

they scared me too at first 😄

[bleak dagger]

why how

[bleak dagger]

live leak...

[crude stump]

The middle one is beautiful

[glass nest]

i've had it a year, and kinda wanna upgrade to a bigger one. The one I got is fine for spindles and pens, but it struggles with bowls

The Wenge? one sec...

[sand trench]

a lot of the time shadow don't get why people are recording things

[sand trench]

so many stupid tik tokers on hiking trails

[glass nest]

Thats what it looks like now 😄

[crude stump]

That looks sick

It reminds me of one of those rocks with the stripes

[glass nest]

Merci 🙂 Lathe makes sanding and polishing a breeze

[sand trench]

a belt sander also makes sanding a breeze

[bleak dagger]

my screen is monochrome its all gray lol

[glass nest]

Hehe, but you see the contrast in the grain, right 😄

managed to do 2 more pens today, one in wenge, the other.. I dunno what the wood was. Just found it in the box.

It was black, so might have been ivory or palm

[crude stump]

Do you sell them on your site you sell your 3d printed stuff on

[glass nest]

Ivory is a pig to work with. chips like plastic.

[sand trench]

ivory???

[bleak dagger]

ivory a black wood ?

[glass nest]

I sell them at certain festival-style events

Kevin - Yah, not elephant tusk, thats bad

[bleak dagger]

or like the stuff safety razors use as 'ivory' ?

[sand trench]

ivory is from elephant tusks or animal teeth

[bleak dagger]

elephant tusks are animal teeth

[glass nest]

Grand Pianos are traditionally Ivory wood

[sand trench]

the black wood esqy is thinking about is probably ebony

[glass nest]

Yeah, Probably Ebony

[chilly veldt]

My body hurts already

[glass nest]

I think I was excited about the Pink ivory wood I got. Only a small bit but is super pricey, and I just wanted to see what it's like to work with before I commit

ooh. bad photo. these are the two I made today

[sand trench]

does the ebony pen sink in water???

as some of the different ebony woods sink in water

[glass nest]

i'm not putting them in water to test 😄

[sand trench]

oki

[glass nest]

but yeah, they are heavy. For pens

Anyway, on that note - work tomorrow. Peace out, y'all

[buoyant tree]

u carved them yourself?

[sand trench]

sleepy sloopy esqy

[bleak dagger]

why cant i react to messages

[glass nest]

AIO, on a lathe, yes.

For me, woodwork is good for my mind, body and soul. No screens, no distractions. Bliss.

[buoyant tree]

tried out woodwork once

almost cut off my hand

[sand trench]

you need to verify with the bot first

[buoyant tree]

then got a nasty cut which got infected quick since it wasn't exactly sanitary equipment I was using

[sand trench]

uh oh

[buoyant tree]

yea dw my hands fine now

[molten sky]

amateur immunte system

[buoyant tree]

although shouldn't have been trying that when i was like 11

quick question, which email provider should I use right now for a new account

[molten sky]

gmail

[bleak dagger]

guys here is my discord token:

[molten sky]

don't post it here

[bleak dagger]

im kidding lol

[molten sky]

some people do lol

[buoyant tree]

time for my about 6th gmail account this time

[molten sky]

i have a few dozen if you include organizational domains

[bleak dagger]

whats wrong with proton mail

and other privacy focused ones

[buoyant tree]

eh sites don't trust it a lot

[sand trench]

depends on if you want to pay with your data or pay with your money

[molten sky]

proton just has no real advantages privacy wise for the average user

[bleak dagger]

really ? how so ?

[buoyant tree]

eh data

[buoyant tree]

A few sites just flag it as suspicious and don't allow u to make a account

[molten sky]

proton can also theoretically be a honey pot 🤷‍♂️

[bleak dagger]

its nicer however, google is a pain imo

[molten sky]

depends on your threat model for that tho

[sand trench]

gmail
hotmail
yahoo
not sure if microsoft has free but pay with data plan

[molten sky]

eh, as an admin google is actually quite simple for small companies
that much i'll give google

[molten sky]

ew hotmail and yahoo

just get aol

[bleak dagger]

nah i dont think so ive already formed a strong enough parasocial relationship after watching enough interviews

[molten sky]

in the end, there is no way for anyone to know -- just blind trust in an organization

[bleak dagger]

jokes aside

yeah

[molten sky]

obviously the same thing we do elsewhere though

[sand trench]

yeah would normally not recommend either but they provide emails for the same price as gmail

[buoyant tree]

does anybody use yahoo now a days even

[bleak dagger]

my mom

[sand trench]

scam/spammers yes

just have to look in shadows spam folder

[buoyant tree]

someone choose a artist randomly

[molten sky]

cher

[buoyant tree]

from the image i sent

[molten sky]

those are imposters

[blazing granite]

I have a yahoo account 😂

[bleak dagger]

old old old

jk but why does it get so much hate

ive never used it myself idk much about yahoo

[blazing granite]

I also still have a hotmail account created before hotmail was owned by microsoft

[buoyant tree]

its different for people who have crossed the boundry of 100 years old, jk

ok now thats old

[molten sky]

haven't seen lindsey sterling pop up in ages

[loud marlin]

i have jabber account/mail from days of pidgin msg

[buoyant tree]

[buoyant tree]

don't even know what that is

[loud marlin]

waaaaay old stuff

[sand trench]

nah pidgin is not old

irc is old

[buoyant tree]

how old are you?

[molten sky]

at least 13

[buoyant tree]

eh irc is still used now a days

[molten sky]

i still use irc

[loud marlin]

back in my days we used pidgin with jabber account to have private convo with pidgin OTR plugin

[buoyant tree]

but i haven't even heard of the name pidgin

[loud marlin]

pidgin not. jabber is fair old

[buoyant tree]

you are making up words now

[sand trench]

it is a message chat system aggrigator

[loud marlin]

nop... you just young 🙂

im 36 btw

[sand trench]

and still in most linux repos

[blazing granite]

but it's not the same, nothing like those days of bitchX connected to undernet and efnet 😂

[buoyant tree]

still making up words

[loud marlin]

pidgin messenger had OTR (off the record) plugin that you can encript your convo. jabber.org mail was used to login into pidgin and use it as contact

[bleak dagger]

nvm

i should sleep now gn guys

[blazing granite]

I guess I'm the older here 😂

[loud marlin]

juun, hydra and others knows jabber days for sure

[sand trench]

yeah have been around computers and things a long time

[blazing granite]

I know pidgin I've never use it myself

[sand trench]

same never had to use it

[loud marlin]

fun days

[chilly veldt]

👀👀

[sand trench]

have used irc a few times on and off

[buoyant tree]

how old were you when you started using a computer

[sand trench]

just kinda annoying with no message history for shadow

[sand trench]

5-7

[blazing granite]

I was 10 🙂

TI99

TI= Texas Instrument

[buoyant tree]

isn't that a calculator

[sand trench]

accidentally burned hands on a uncharging laptop shadow was allowed to take appart around 9 years old

[loud marlin]

it's oldest model of terminator 🙂

[sand trench]

taught shadow not to mess with lithium ion batteries

[cobalt lintel]

Anyone here that can track a phone number? Please reply 😭

[blazing granite]

The made computers and also calculators

[buoyant tree]

good lesson

[sand trench]

texas instruments make a decent bit of weird things

[loud marlin]

acid burns are hard pain 😦

[buoyant tree]

My first experience with those was a iphone exploding

[chilly veldt]

@mossy river

[mossy river]

why

[buoyant tree]

so did you use a calculator or a computer with a keyboard

[blazing granite]

the first computer I had at home it was an XT with a processor NEC V20 🙂

[buoyant tree]

Not referring to calculators as computers at the moment even though they technically are

[blazing granite]

the computer with a huge monitor black and a blinking green cursor, the computer was called TI99

[buoyant tree]

oh k

[sand trench]

was around 15 when shadow started programming seriously due to wanting to make minecraft mods

[buoyant tree]

was it a crt?

[sand trench]

messed around a bit before that too

[buoyant tree]

i tried making those but failed miserably

[loud marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-leave-gif-5785321051025239919

[buoyant tree]

then learnt game dev isn't for me

[loud marlin]

CRT monitor

big fat long thing monitor

[sand trench]

misses crt tvs fun static fuzzy feeling if you brushed your hand along the screen when they were turned on

[buoyant tree]

yea I have seen CRT tv's but haven't seen a CRT monitor

[rapid merlin]

Flip?

[loud marlin]

same shit, different package

[buoyant tree]

Heck my grandma has 2 which I have to just plug out and in to fix

[rapid merlin]

They are a death trap if mishandled, especially during repairs and maintenance.

Part of the challenge I guess.

[sand trench]

oh haha yeah

[buoyant tree]

eh they don't break easy tho

[sand trench]

was not allowed to take appart that tv before we sent it to be scrapped

[rapid merlin]

Luckily

[blazing granite]

it was heavy as hell like an old TV huge monitor but small screen

[rapid merlin]

Good, because CRTs are the last thing you want to deal with when it comes to repairs.

[buoyant tree]

btw do you have a ifixit toolkit

[sand trench]

nope but definitely want one

[chilly veldt]

Did someone say iFixit 👀

[molten sky]

crts are easy to work on -- you just have to be aware of the caps

[boreal scarab]

I love IFixIt

[chilly veldt]

Same, I don't leave my house without it basically

[molten sky]

as long as you're somewhat competent it's easy to not die

[rapid merlin]

For sure, I just don't want to mess with them. Let someone else do it.

[blazing granite]

@buoyant tree

[boreal scarab]

Saame! That and an ethernet cord

[chilly veldt]

Yup

[molten sky]

nothing wrong with benig wary of it ofc, would rather people opt not to than get zapped by one of those things

[rapid merlin]

10000%

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab did you saw my negraving time lapse video ?

[boreal scarab]

Nope, I haven't

Or didn't

[loud marlin]

one sec then

[boreal scarab]

English hard

[chilly veldt]

My friend got hers taken at the airport, so that's why I always bring mine in a checked bag

[loud marlin]

it's late and i didnt sleep 3 days =/

[sand trench]

if it was not considered bad practice in sweden shadow would maybe carry around their lock picking set everywhere

[molten sky]

when discharging caps like that I tend to wear gloves for once, lol

just as a safeguard

[sand trench]

but for now it is a stay at home and have fun with here and there hobby

[loud marlin]

[boreal scarab]

"Sorry, we can't allow you to bring a screwdriver on board, it can be used as a weapon"

Yah and so can my shoe. And my hoodie? Like breh, what's that excuse?

[molten sky]

picks? what country were they taken in?

[sand trench]

a screwdriver is easier to stab through the windows or plane walls then a shoe or a hoodie

[rapid merlin]

Haha, I never touch them for that specific reason. When I build my/a computer, I literally don't bother with that bracelet. It's overrated, especially if you discharge yourself properly. But CRTs, yikes, they're a whole different story (gloves and so on).

[chilly veldt]

iFixit kit

[sand trench]

know of a guy that knows a guy that built some tesla coils to play music

[molten sky]

ehm... that's a different thing too
you wear a bracelet (theoretically) to prevent yourself from damaging the components. if you wore a bracelet while working with caps you're just making it more dangerous

[sand trench]

never got to see them live

[molten sky]

they took that? tf

[rapid merlin]

I'll be honest, I never even thought about static electricity when building computers. I just dive right into it without much consideration.
