[crude stump]

Have fun

[hardy copper]

😎

[pine stratus]

im sure u will be an advanced persistent threat someday

Goodluck:)))

[hardy copper]

I'll do this just to learn something new, as I dont persue cyber security as my career

but it sounds super cool and I need to test my servers 😄

[pine stratus]

okay ! it will be handy goodluck again

[hardy copper]

😎

[pine stratus]

THM NEEDS TO ADD PAYMENT METHOD IN RUSSIA , ESPECIALLY AFTER SANCTIONS

[hardy copper]

and they need to add regional pricing 😭

haha

[molten sky]

regional pricing in difficult to enforce and even more difficult to maintain profitability with, unfortunately

[hardy copper]

yeah thats true

thats why, discord got rid of it this month 😭

whats the discord token for?

[molten sky]

on your thm profile?

[buoyant tree]

good movie

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/dum-dum-dumb-dumb-moai-moyai-greycity-gif-9397592557777937503

Oh I love the movie

[buoyant tree]

Monkey time

[quasi plaza]

not really

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-night-at-the-museum-gif-21374689

[quasi plaza]

is there any way to get black theme for the web page?

[desert shuttle]

What is going on here

[loud marlin]

for now there is no offical dark thm theme. you cna use dark reader

[crude stump]

for now is crazy

shouldve been the first thing they implemeted tbh

[loud marlin]

yea

[crude stump]

ik shadow doesnt mind

lmao

[sand trench]

if so there should have also been the option between light and dark themes to help the visualy impaired as then contrast is important

[crude stump]

facts

just my opinion but i feel like people who makes the websites should also take into consideration the people who are visualy impaired too. very few websites that actully do that

[sand trench]

yeah and it meeping sucks

then again shadow is not 100% sure how the visual impairment tools and helps work for websites and stuff

shadow has more experience with how hearing loss and deafness works

[rapid merlin]

can i change my country in tryhackme ?

[sand trench]

well yes

[rapid merlin]

how

where

[sand trench]

@rapid merlin ⬆️

[rapid merlin]

i mean country

does also change country

[sand trench]

yeah that changes what country it thinks you are from

be sure your ip says you are in the right country for it to work

[rapid merlin]

so if i'm in the USA ill use VPN to change into UK

right

[sand trench]

yeah if you use a vpn that makes your ip look like you are from the uk it will change your country to uk

[rapid merlin]

yeah thanks

[crude stump]

mind if i ask why?

[rapid merlin]

to me?

[crude stump]

yes

[rapid merlin]

i was curious

[crude stump]

stay curious

[rapid merlin]

xd

what do i get in the end

some certificates?

[crude stump]

for completing a room?

or a path

but yes

rooms have certificates

[rapid merlin]

xd

[crude stump]

i mean paths

[sand trench]

the certificates from completing tryhackme paths have very little value for job searching if that is what you mean
make sure your full name variable is set on your profile or it will use your username instead for the certs
also some rooms give badges

[rapid merlin]

badges* you mean

ig

[crude stump]

well badges too

[sand trench]

well the advent of cyber rooms have certificates

[rapid merlin]

yeah but it got functionality as certificates

[crude stump]

tbh the certificates dont matter

just a cool lil thing

to show you completed it

[sand trench]

which makes shadows slowness in completing all the paths annoying

[crude stump]

im doing the soc 1 path right now

and im having a blast

tho for one of the tasks its making me sign up for phish tools to use there tool.

[sand trench]

shadow was doing offensive security

[crude stump]

i dont really wanna sign up for it

[sand trench]

then they got distracted by intro to docker

and all the room testing

[crude stump]

oo

is it fun

[rapid merlin]

[sand trench]

to be 100% accurate you never need phish tool for any of the tasks on that path as far as shadow has seen

[crude stump]

ight

[rapid merlin]

gophish

[sand trench]

go fish is such a fun card game

but something strange is going on

as you are finding the kings and queens and guards in the water

[molten sky]

someone entertain me

[crude stump]

completly forgot how to play go fish

[molten sky]

uno

[crude stump]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-laugh-smile-anxious-jester-super-bowl-gif-16197383

let me get my joker fit on r

q

[sand trench]

anyways it is 02:03 in sweden so shadows is gonna go meep moop to the beepity boopity beep boop for sleep sloops

[sinful moon]

I use PhishTool all the time to ingest phishing emails that are submitted to us outside of our normal phishing reporting system.

I can not recommend PhishTool enough and use it nearly daily at work

[molten sky]

sweden isn't real change my mind

[molten sky]

phishtool is very convenient

[sinful moon]

Seen so many that appear to be Gmail sender but actually spoofing that with *.onmicrosoft.com sender

First glance would tell you to block the Gmail sender but nah, that's what they're counting on

[sand trench]

well if you only count sweden or only count finlands populations we amass to around 1-2% of the world population meaning we are a potential error margin

[sinful moon]

It's pretty brutal for 2023 Tax Return phishing, them pretending to be a normie on Gmail, targeted at CPAs

Gotta love the client I'm thinking of, they are more than aware of these threats and even report suspicious but False Positive emails with "This is one of our clients, but..."

lol to the random client they had trying to send a direct link to their 1099 that only they could view via their account on the linked .gov website. Email was titled "I found this online" 🙃

[crude stump]

bruh is there a way to stop gifs at a certain frame. i cant see what they are doing because the gif changes so fast

[sinful moon]

Not as far as I'm aware unless it's a built in feature of the site. You could do that with Flash but lol

[crude stump]

might just take a screenshot

[sinful moon]

Could always bring it into Photoshop or something and break it down frame by frame

[molten sky]

hey @sinful moon

[sinful moon]

Heya!

[molten sky]

found a good role for ya

[sinful moon]

lolol

We were considering a solution on a call with the boss today and he cursed when he was it was bought out by Kaseya... just like another long time product we use

[molten sky]

saw a few places adding escape clauses into their contracts with certain vendors just in case they get acqed

[boreal scarab]

Guessing by the hatred in that message, Kaseya is bad?

[sinful moon]

btw you may enjoy to hear we're full steam ahead with new RMM and moved foward with a contract

[sinful moon]

Look up their security track record

[molten sky]

nah they're lovely

nowhere better

[sinful moon]

Right up there with SolarWinds, indeed lol

ah solarwinds123, only the best passwords

[molten sky]

@boreal scarab if you want an idea... r/msp post

it's a recurring theme for them, not one off

[boreal scarab]

https://www.npr.org/2021/07/05/1013117515/scale-details-of-massive-kaseya-ransomware-attack-emerge

[sinful moon]

btw if you all have any Exchange servers left, they need to be patched for actively exploited NTLM relay. An exclamation mark bypasses former protections.

Exhange 2019 CU14 enables Extended Proteciton by default which protects against this. Exchange 2016 didn't get a SU but needs Extended Proteciton to mitigate this as well

[molten sky]

they're known for two things -- buying up everything they can, and then turning it into shit while (literally) stealing from you for months

[molten sky]

i assume this is the big one from revil

the big supply chain comp

[sinful moon]

We were not happy when they bought up one of our solutions, well after this whole security kerfluffle

[molten sky]

i wonder what ever happened to kaseya katie

[sinful moon]

lol was that a mascott of sorts?

Ah reddit user and more

[molten sky]

nah she was always on the msp sub and when people would complain she'd pop up like hey dm me and we'll get it fixed

[sinful moon]

Active as of one month ago

[molten sky]

reddit PR person

yup that's her

[sinful moon]

Yep makes sense

It is kinda insane how many vendors are lurking on /r/msp and soemtimes /r/sysadmin

Surprised almost that I haven't seen them duke it out. Typically they monopolize a thread with their solution... tastefully in most cases

[crude stump]

always REvil bruh

[boreal scarab]

That's REALLY fucked up

[crude stump]

oh wait lol was that the joke to this

[sinful moon]

Yeah we have one vendor who's like radio silent on persistant billing issues, very frustrating but I'm glad I just get to focus on the tech and not the business side

[buoyant tree]

hullo

[sinful moon]

I don't want to name and shame for security reasons but yeah

Heya AIO

[buoyant tree]

how is that the biggest

[molten sky]

imagine signing a 3yr with a new vendor and the very next month they get acqed by kaseya

[buoyant tree]

Ellie I need you to help me select a insane movie for today, fast paced

[sinful moon]

This and SolarWinds were massive massive issues. Kesya just disporportinately impacted MSPs vs huge firms

[boreal scarab]

Rather pay the fine to breach the contract then be with them

[buoyant tree]

Thinking John WIck, Inglorious basterds, Kingsman,

[sinful moon]

Why breach 50 companies when you can breach the one company that manages IT for them all, sorta thing

[buoyant tree]

Something along those lines

[sinful moon]

Kives Out if you've seen the above

[crude stump]

yeah the solarwinds hack was huge

[sinful moon]

maybe not fast paced enough but good vibes

[crude stump]

it effected so many organizations

[buoyant tree]

Have already

[sinful moon]

I guess I don't watch too many modern action movies. I'd recommend the original Die Hard or the original Total Recall

Both will vibe well with you given you enjoyed RoboCop

[iron salmon]

yeah go for that hmem those are always good. total recall is a great comfy one

[buoyant tree]

Die Hard done in april

might give total recall a try

[sinful moon]

Great then no hesitation on early 90s Total Recall

fast paced, scifi, twists and good fun

[iron salmon]

or something underrated but not realy fast would be Outland scifi crime with that james bond guy

[crude stump]

hm

[sinful moon]

Congrats on rank up btw AceS!

[crude stump]

thanks

working my way up

[iron salmon]

or maybe strange days

[sinful moon]

Outland would be the one with Sean Connery. Strange Days has no James Bond cast that I can see.

Not familiar with either though, so thanks for bringing them up!

[sinful moon]

That being said, you'll be in for a treat AIO. The 4K remaster for Total Recall is pretty great

[iron salmon]

no not in strange days.. buts its.. like an scifi dystopian cyberpunk like thriller movie just a bit old

i kinda like it

[sinful moon]

lol I sure don't mind old, more of a concern for AIO. But he's making progress in those regards

[iron salmon]

has he seen conan?

[sinful moon]

some of my fave movies date back to silent film c:

Nope

Neither have I really, but that's supposed to be shlocky fun indeed, but not great lol

I think I watched a YT video about the produciton

[iron salmon]

hmem i liked metropolis i love old scifi and horror black and white stuff its comfy, blanket a storm outside

[sinful moon]

Honestly I like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari even more than Metropolis as amazing as that movie is

First twist ending, first use of a framing device for the narrative in film, etc

plenty innovative as well

[iron salmon]

have not seen that one but its supposed to be good. It all started one night in my room secretly watching tv and ther was that crazy movie the maltese falcon XD

[sinful moon]

Jumping foward two decades, yeah The Maltese Falcon is one of my all time faves for sure

I'm big into Film Noir which is half of what went into my modern username lol

[iron salmon]

yeah those are great

[sinful moon]

btw the 4K remaster for Maltese Falcon is stunning

Yes HDR makes a difference even for black and white movies lol

[iron salmon]

hm okey uh uh the big sleep is the other realy good one

[sinful moon]

is kinda ironic we have amazing remasters of movies up until about 00s when we had low res digital cameras, until about 2012ish when they started mastering above 2K

[iron salmon]

there is just something special to it how they use light and shadows back then

[sinful moon]

Chinatown is amazing for being slightly more neo-noir, same with LA Confidential.

Casablanca I unofficially count as Film Noir and obvs one of my faves. There's tons more I'm forgetting but plenty of great ones from back in the day as well

[iron salmon]

Chinatown yes good one

[sinful moon]

But indeed it's kinda hard to go wrong with a decent classic movie with Humphry Bogart

[iron salmon]

you cant top them

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, probably my fave classic film actor of all time

[iron salmon]

ewww tehy made a new marlowe movie... did not like it

[sinful moon]

Yeah there were several attempts since the rights to those books were shopped around everywhere, very incosinstant as a result

[iron salmon]

better the old sherlock holmes ones with uh basil rasbone or what his name was

[sinful moon]

Hah haven't seen that, just read the books

[iron salmon]

uh you would like them

you should check out strange day to

[sinful moon]

Yeah I'll just have to track down which of the umpteenth Sherlock Holmes movies there are in history

and indeed, I may have to along with Outland!

[iron salmon]

sherlock holmes basil rathbone full movies its on the tube

just copy and paste

[whole yew]

not really film noir, it's a post-war spy movie

[sinful moon]

Indeed, part of why I said I just consider it as such. Most deffinetly not but fits many of the cinemtography vibes of Film Noir and happens to still feature Humphry Bogart

[iron salmon]

the 1974 one? not realy spy stuff more conspiracy and murder

[whole yew]

that's mostly because it's bogart in black and white

half the cast is a current/former spy in morocco

[sinful moon]

They use same dramatic use of lighting as Film Noir, but fair those were used plenty in black and white films of the era. I just vividly remember the moody scenes in his apartment which mirror a lot of the same visual cues

[whole yew]

hell, mallory from archer implies very strongly that she's the inspiration for the ingrid bergman character

[sinful moon]

lol, makes sense

as an aside, I really appreciate the well done computing easter eggs they leave in Archer

[molten sky]

computing easter eggs?

in archer?

[sinful moon]

Yeah not only have they hidden ARGs, first actived just by watching and spotting something odd, but have kept legit linux commands on terminals and more

[molten sky]

ARG?

and yeah normally not sober when that's on soo 🤷‍♂️

[sinful moon]

Augmented Relaity Game, where a clue can lead you to an entire puzzle of subsiquent clues, usually across the internet

Major spoilers for the ARG here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcherFX/comments/30yre4/archer_super_easter_egg_hunt_arg_writeup_and/

typically does involve cyphers and other fun infosec stuff. Similar to what Gravity Falls was known to do in each episode

[molten sky]

ngl haven't watched it much since it was moved to fxx

[buoyant tree]

I don't understand why anyone would opt for a silent movie except Mr bean

[molten sky]

got eh

wait was archer canceled?

it looks like it was canceled Aug 30th

[sinful moon]

Because that's all tech could do in the year 1920 when this film was released.

And it's still a great film despite the technical limitations

[buoyant tree]

isn't there a modern remake of the cabinet of dr calagari

[sinful moon]

it's called Shutter Island No not really at all

Shutter Island just rips off some ideas, but that its self is based on a book iirc

Heya!

[sinful moon]

You don't need modern remakes of classic films. Most of them are completely awful

[buoyant tree]

Watched it but don't remember it

[sinful moon]

lol for the best, it's a so so movie

and spoilers for Dr. Calagari: ||yeah it did this same twist 90 years ealier better, again in the first ever twist ending in film history||

[buoyant tree]

@sinful moon I should watch the 2012 version right?

[sinful moon]

Indeed, I’ve not read the book for Shutter Island despite my thumbs up above but heard great things. It’s on my radar

[buoyant tree]

of total recall

[sinful moon]

No lol

Different worse movie

[buoyant tree]

Just kidding, knew u would react that way

[sinful moon]

Tying into what I was saying lol

Fair but lol it’s almost always the case

[buoyant tree]

Eh gonna watch the 1990 one

[sinful moon]

Mhmm fantastic movie, good fun

At least with this the story it’s based on is like 15 pages so no reading the book first there

I will

"We Can Remember it for you Wholesale" and "Shutter Island" respectively for those two messages lol

[molten sky]

heh. nice.

[sinful moon]

Nah Philip K Dick is an all time classic. I'm more partial to the golden age trilogy of Asimov, Clarke, and Henlein though

Philip K Dick is really hit or miss for me, really love some of his, am "wut" about others

But he's been adapted into movies probably more than the other three combined

Sorry PKD, but Blade Runner is better than "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"

Thankfully he was pleased at test screenings just prior to him passing away

[iron salmon]

totaly

[sinful moon]

I have not, I'm all about the scifi literature classics but been burned a couple times by modern SciFi such as The Expanse which is a big meh

I'll have to put it on the radar

[buoyant tree]

Also Ellie I need advise on a topic, I finished sunset overdrive now to decide which one to finish next, both are on the second playthrough

[molten sky]

neither

get Control

[buoyant tree]

RDR2 about 40% completion

[sinful moon]

Play a new game, but how do you only have 33 hours in RDR2

[buoyant tree]

Played it already

[buoyant tree]

First time was on rockstar laucher

launcher*

bought it again on steam

[sinful moon]

Obvious from their avatar lol

[molten sky]

you like portals?

[buoyant tree]

lemme check rockstar playtime

[sinful moon]

Yeah you were talking about Portal yesterday

[molten sky]

got i hated that launcer

[iron salmon]

meh play cyberpunk

[sinful moon]

play it

[buoyant tree]

78 hours in

[molten sky]

Portal Revolution just came out

[buoyant tree]

Eh gonna finish a backlog first

[molten sky]

was pretty good

[sinful moon]

What backlog? You're trying to replay games

[iron salmon]

i am scared to look at my playtime

[sinful moon]

Move onto your backlog lol

[buoyant tree]

Yup I can't leave them on a half played same

save*

[sinful moon]

You beat the game though, it's totally unrealistic to 100% evey game

that's best for second playthroughs... years down the line, not immediately

[iron salmon]

425 hours

[sinful moon]

For RDR2?

[buoyant tree]

Eh I enjoyed them a LOT

[iron salmon]

cyberpunk

[buoyant tree]

DAYMN

how many playthroughs

[iron salmon]

cant remember

[buoyant tree]

Ok I can probably do this

[sinful moon]

Ah fair, my Cyberpunk is only around 60 hours. my RDR is at 113.5 hours

[iron salmon]

i have seen all endings i am sure

[buoyant tree]

RDR2 I had about 60 hours in on rockstar launcher on first playthrough

[sinful moon]

God the freaking Rockstar CAPTCHAS are insane

I too went through this process but it was dramatically different

same sorta ideas though

[buoyant tree]

My first ending was the low honor one

[iron salmon]

i have not finished rdr2.. i got bored

[buoyant tree]

I was just having fun

But this time its at like 60-70% honor atm

[sinful moon]

Thanks I'll keep it in mind!

[buoyant tree]

in chapter 3 right now

Is it a single book

or a series

[sinful moon]

The story is well worth finishing, I'd go so far as to say it's a near masterpiece

really saying something after how awful the story in GTA V was

[iron salmon]

it was way to short

[sinful moon]

How is it too short if you haven't beaten it?

[iron salmon]

and you got the feeling of nothing was achived with gta

[sinful moon]

Oh GTA V? Yeah it was majorly lame

[iron salmon]

no i was talking about gta 5

[sinful moon]

Agreed for sure

I'm doing a replay of GTA IV and yeah even then, so much significantly better. Especially with the DLC

GTA V is empty, vapid, and so much more scripted mission wise

[iron salmon]

i hope the next one will be good

[sinful moon]

heck San Andreas had some of the most hard hitting social commentary out of the entire series

That is already on my radar indeed, thanks!

Giving that a mental +1 lol

[buoyant tree]

Ok should I finish Alan wake's DLC's or play RDR2 or play Miles Morales

I need help

I can't decide

[sinful moon]

for sure, although all kinda killer soundtracts

Play a game you haven't played yet, like if you ahven't done Alan Wake's DLC

you're too early into your gaming history to obsessively replay things lol

[buoyant tree]

eh but its fun

[sinful moon]

so are hundreds of other games you've not tried yet

[molten sky]

currently replaying the half life franchise

[sinful moon]

Heck yeah

Half Life 25th anniversary update made that great

Can't recommend checking out Half Life series speedrunning enough if you're in the mood

[buoyant tree]

but but but, I can't leave them on a half complete save

[molten sky]

minor, but liked that they changed it back to the old valve logo too

[sinful moon]

Yeah the classic menu vs the modern Steam one was a fantastic change

mirrors the classic WON release much closer

I'm more focused on Half Life 2 speedrunning (lots of neat engine tricks), but this is a great video for HL1 speedrunning history. Not quite SummoningSalt level (famous WR history creator) but good content:

https://youtu.be/qqvKrhzQLYU

[buoyant tree]

Ellie is Total recall supposed to be grainy as hell

[sinful moon]

yes as intended

[buoyant tree]

like its crisp

but grainy

[sinful moon]

that's what film looks like c:

[molten sky]

classico

[sinful moon]

turns out when you scan film at high res it looks like film lol

Purists like myself despise digital noise correction

if you've seen Terminator 2 in 4K then you know what I mean, worst offender

Everyone looks like plastic

[molten sky]

too much smoothing

[buoyant tree]

If it were up to you I bet you would probably play the film directly

[sinful moon]

it's all been smoothed so much that the texture of the actual video was degrated

Nah I'm happy with my 4K remasters, Terminator 2 is just total garbage as a remaster

[buoyant tree]

yea i agree

[sinful moon]

Nice! Heck far before we even had these terms

To make you feel old, I was born around when T2 came out lol

[buoyant tree]

the calculator or the computer

[sinful moon]

It's okay zoomers on Discord do this to me constantly

91 for me

iirc T2 is 91

My old "wut" was what do you mean Wii was your first console. But heck we're getting even younger now

[buoyant tree]

Also pulp fiction

weird movie

interesting yet weird

[sinful moon]

No worries, I only latched onto the date due to proximity

[molten sky]

if xbox live wasn't nuked i'd love to have a classic xbox and a 360 again

some good games on both that still can pass-ish graphically

heavy on the "ish" part of that tho

[sinful moon]

One of my emu dev friends made Enigma, a reversed implimentation of OG Xbox Live. You can use this to play OG Xbox online still

Erm let me get the right name of the project, it's similar

[molten sky]

ping me w it when you get it i wanna know -- stepping away tho cause i need to run to 7/11

[sinful moon]

https://insignia.live/

[molten sky]

that was quick

[sinful moon]

Yeah had to find the friend's name and confirm quick lol

[molten sky]

only 33 online is surprising

[sinful moon]

He's lead dev of CXBX-Reloaded one of the two notable OG Xbox emulators

xqemu currently has better support but that's due to CXBX-Reloaded being an inhereted High Level Emulation project vs xqemu's more low level focus

lol I try, whatever that means tho c:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmvDgNAvdWM

[molten sky]

i haven't seen that green dash in years

[sinful moon]

Yeah freanking lovely

iirc you can boot it in xqemu

Emulators that preserve the home screen of newer consoles are <3

MelonDS is another example, along with Dolphin (emulator)

[buoyant tree]

Ellie could u remind me what iirc means?

[molten sky]

iirc iirc

[sinful moon]

"If I Recall Correctly"

[buoyant tree]

Oh k

[sinful moon]

aka I can't be asked to check, I'm just going from memory lol

[buoyant tree]

ye

I usually just say ig

but eh iirc seems more accurate

[molten sky]

that means you're guessing tho 😶

[sinful moon]

None taken at all, I just loled at others thinking it was wierd.

I knew what you meant lol

[molten sky]

no offense intended
i'm offended

[buoyant tree]

head hurts

[sinful moon]

they mean ig != iirc

[buoyant tree]

yea i understood

[sinful moon]

I'm not guessing, I am recalling something I have experierience with lol

[buoyant tree]

Yea just something to remember now

Also speaking of remasters

the best ones I have seen yet are 2001 and Alien

total recall doesn't go on the same level tho

[sinful moon]

Yep, and there's plenty more where that came from

also those were heavy film grain film remasters c:

[buoyant tree]

yeah but I didn't mind those too much

[sinful moon]

Total Recall 4K is a fantastic remaster but sure doesn't go quite as hard, but is also shot on more modern film stock where the grain and more aren't as apperent despite your complaint

[buoyant tree]

but total recalls bugging me a lot

[sinful moon]

You sure you got 4K master there? The Blu-rays I can't verify the quality on without checking

[buoyant tree]

think so

[sinful moon]

Personally I was plesantly suprised by Total Recall's remaster, but I've seen the film for decades on other media

[buoyant tree]

old person vs new person

[sinful moon]

Got a 4.5/5 star video quality review on Blu-ray.com:

Can't complain with that, we've massively expanded our blu-ray library staring in mid 2023 to nearly five bookshelfs full lol

And yes something something pipeline to Plex and Jellyfin which my country's laws allow for

[buoyant tree]

wasn't it 2-4 before

[sinful moon]

Yes, it's expanded and getting insane lol

my SO is a bit addicted

I love films too and bought many but whew

Ouch lol, and yeah I remember our old DVD library back at my mom's which was also big but not anywhere near this extensive

[loud marlin]

i fracking hate cable management....

[sinful moon]

You don't own anything on Amazon Prime

also significant worse quality, lack of UHD or HDR for many films that have it, etc

[iron salmon]

what is that?

[sinful moon]

what it sounds like lol

managing how cables are routed between devices in a sane way

[loud marlin]

the thing that was invented to piss me off

[sinful moon]

at home we barely cable manage, at work yeah we cable manage to the extreme so it's very clean and tidy

[iron salmon]

you stick it in and it works

[sinful moon]

Yes, but that doesn't do in a business enviroment

[loud marlin]

yea... until you need find one that you need replace

[iron salmon]

sometimes it reaches out to you but it only wants to play

[sinful moon]

also think about cable management for racks

can you imagine poorly cable managed 24 port switch?

[iron salmon]

yeah i know its a mess here but at work its different

we like to use pink white and blue

[sinful moon]

Yeah at home idgaf, but at work we have to care... or at least I would if I wasn't 800 mile away remote worker lol

[loud marlin]

and on work things are more expensive to be fracked by poor cable management

[sinful moon]

Meanwhile server at home lol, just messy corner of home office with no real cable management, or rack because lol space

[iron salmon]

yeah... like that one time he said pack the server please... just turn it off and i did.. folowed by you did not just turn it off right..

he told me to

[sinful moon]

but hey sure has those dual redundant PSUs and NICs wired up, including lights out managent third ethernet

lol don't put both PSUs on the same battery backup if you're at home scale. It will drain it fast 🙃

[iron salmon]

i remember my firt 10 minutes before 5 call i always hide now 15 minutes before 5 XD

left alone no clue and nothing worky at the company that called...

[sinful moon]

I'm having a hard time parsing the above lol

[robust lagoon]

@sinful moon nice that looks like one of the T440's i have to work on

[sinful moon]

Yep! Literally a T430 c:

so close enough

it's populated with second Xenon basically making it a T440 anyways

[iron salmon]

they left me alone in the office and one of the clients called 5 minutes before the end of the day.

[sinful moon]

Shoot, I mixed up generation vs feature set but you get me

[sinful moon]

Yeah not fun at all, indeed. Thankfully we have a couple layers of dispatch and help desk before I'm actually answering phones

[iron salmon]

from the others its what they do sometimes... like having someone do something but they know they are not ready for it and will break it just to see how you react

[blazing granite]

I never answer a phone or email 5 minute before the end of the day, suddenly I have an urge to go to the toilet 😂

[iron salmon]

hmem thats what i learned that day

[crude stump]

What’s the point of having a home server

[iron salmon]

there are many reasons

[sinful moon]

Home lab, self hosting services, tons more

[iron salmon]

just to play with it having mutiple vms and little lab

[loud marlin]

cabels hang in backend =/

[sinful moon]

To put it simply in terms of our media library consider Plex/Jellyfin. We buy our media, ingest it, and host basically "our own Netflix" to watch it

same server can also be used for ripping and encoding, spinning up more encoding resources to scale with demand

And that's just a single use case

We use this server for far more than that

[crude stump]

You got one of the most fire setups

[sinful moon]

lol screenshot of encoding VMs going burrr at high load

[lime bobcat]

what are the colorful disks on the wall?

[loud marlin]

more setup = more cleaning... 3d printer makes my room looks like plastic garbage graveyard

[crude stump]

Got the Kali and parrot open. Stacked up

[loud marlin]

TST logo

[loud marlin]

just kali

[crude stump]

Oh wait yeah nvm

[sinful moon]

Another use case, why host Kali locally wen you have a server for VMs, and also potential targets to test at, all with nearly "unlimited" resources

[crude stump]

Just saw the sign thing. What ever symbol that is

[loud marlin]

tst = the satanic temple

[iron salmon]

what can we learn here hm... pez, thingy member of an left hand path occult group, likes girls dresed in black, drinks german? bear, there is a fire hazard

[sinful moon]

I'll do you better, why have pentesting VPS with another service when I have THM and HTB attack box? Because it's persistent, my own infra, and doesn't touch my home network

[iron salmon]

bicicle playing deck maybe a bit into magic

[sinful moon]

It's a very minor concern and against THM and HTB TOS, but users could theoretically pivot to your machine via the target machine

[buoyant tree]

Also Ellie how the heck did you transcode that huge library

[sinful moon]

This server lol

[buoyant tree]

It takes too much time even with my rtx 3070 ti

[lime bobcat]

I intend on doing so in the near future, currently buying parts to build my NAS/Virtualization Server

[sinful moon]

NVENC will be poor results vs CPU encoding. NVENC is more ideal for Streaming or non-archival kinda footage

[buoyant tree]

And the more research I am doing into games it appears that I like PS3 style modern games the most

[buoyant tree]

Prompt: Explain it to me like I am a baby

[lime bobcat]

What do you use to ingest the media?

[sinful moon]

NVENC is Nvidia's GPU encoding/decoding pipeline. That's all I can add to that

[buoyant tree]

PS3 style

[buoyant tree]

Ok. understood it a lil

[sinful moon]

I've been told not to dig into this too deeply on this Discord before. But basically Blu-ray ripping

[lime bobcat]

Oh, ok

thanks, haha

[sinful moon]

Your local laws will determine if this is kosher or not

[lime bobcat]

There are no lawz on the internetz

hahaha

[sinful moon]

lol, and indeed at least I'm doing my part actually buying the media

[lime bobcat]

Yeah, I intend to do this too

[blazing granite]

actually the halacha or Jewish law determinates if something is kosher or not 😉 😂

[sinful moon]

If you don't mind a quick DM, I can give you a complete answer @lime bobcat

[lime bobcat]

And I've got a BUNCH ov VHS tapes to digitize too

[sinful moon]

lol sush you know what I mean

[molten sky]

#nice

[stuck mulch]

Has someone books for beginners?

[blazing granite]

One of the main ones it's called the Shulchan Aruj

[molten sky]

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-frying-pan-seafood-frying-shrimp-food-gif-21674480

discord just crashed on me

https://tenor.com/view/lobster-grill-grilled-lobster-butter-delicious-gif-10027044

love some good shellfish

i sent the first and then when i tried to send the second it just blew up, lol

discord crashes like once a day for me lately

[rough widget]

hoie

[blazing granite]

weird, I haven't had a discord crash for 3 or 4 months even more

[vast zinc]

it showing blank while running maltego

hmm

same thing happening with other vm

any idea what going on

[molten sky]

i asked for digitalocean to open port 25 for me idk how many years ago and the seem to have changed their policy back in 2022 or something to never do that anymore?

but apparently mine is still open

so yay

[loud marlin]

... i need a smoke...

[crude stump]

How do people pen test WiFi. Like you can pen test your own but like what else?

[molten sky]

the same way you do anything else, really

[whole yew]

my guess is that it is because people do dumb things, and were running spam mail servers off the DO infra on low-value accounts. Rules exist because people can't act like respectful grownups

[molten sky]

you get s signature that says "break my shit" and then you try to break their shit 🤷‍♂️

[whole yew]

It's a bit more involved than that, but that's the absolutely highest level explanation that's still valid

[molten sky]

oh i absolutely get it on the provider level --- ip rep is hard to repair

absolute pain in the ass

i hate it

[whole yew]

that answer was more for those watching the chat than for you. you've been around IT long enough i think you understand most of the org reasoning

[molten sky]

i'm just happy that i'm not affected 😂

[whole yew]

i finally shut down my pop3 and smtp, management was getting to be more time than i wanted to spend.

[molten sky]

on that note, sendgrid is one of the worst companies i''ve ever communicated with

tried to make a new account and i've been going back and forth for weeks cause they refuse to provide any information whatsoever as to what tf they want from me to set things up properly and they're just like nope screw you go away find somewhere else

[whole yew]

eh, it's twilio now. they are messing with my authy clients, i don't like it

[molten sky]

has twilio ever been pleasant to work with

i don't remember a time they were

been PoCing mailgun and not a huge fan lately

have had deliverability issues

was considering PoCing SES but i believe the pricing sucked

looking at postmark now

[molten sky]

also i agree managing mail servers sucks now, absolutely not worth it
i just wanna be able to send myself email alerts for issues and job statuses and such

(so luckily no recipient stuffs)

that's one of my fallbacks but i don't wanna have to loop in unrelated services if i can avoid it

https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/1asozqr/openai_just_announced_sora_their_first hm.

https://openai.com/sora ridiculous

[iron salmon]

uh

[molten sky]

hu

[iron salmon]

am i supposed to see this

[molten sky]

i assume that's from your computer / vm

( if so the answer would be yes )

[iron salmon]

no its not

its from the attack box

[molten sky]

then also yeah that's fine

you're root on the attackbox aren't you

[iron salmon]

okey

[molten sky]

or at least have sudo

i don't use the attackbox so can't remember

[lime bobcat]

Legally?

[sinful moon]

Yeah pentest your own infra obvs

[iron salmon]

i guess i would get a second router and a pc make a DMZ put it there play around with it.. wep wpa wpa2 enterprise is kinda pricy

[sinful moon]

back in the day I just used my old WRT54G as a spare to setup vulnerable networks lol. Just use your old WiFi APs if you still have them

[iron salmon]

is there a cheap way to play around with radius

[sinful moon]

You can do so with custom firmware, but iirc RADIUS links into LDAP so you will need to have AD/Samba infra to account for that. But don't quote me on that, just my understanding

[whole yew]

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server

[sinful moon]

Even better c:

[iron salmon]

oh

so there are a lot of legal ways to play around knew it

[iron salmon]

i save that for later thanks.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @whole yew (current: #10 - 727)

[whole yew]

your verbiage isn't quite right, elizabeth. LDAP is the protocol, so it's used on the wire to communicate between devices

[silver sky]

Well I just found out my colleague is tightly wound. Got angry at me because I was using the sofa in the office.

[whole yew]

you'd normally have a directory service that enables other services to check credentials and permissions with a central identity provider (FreeIPA, IdM, AD, Samba, etc)

[molten sky]

time to grab the laptop and start working on the couch

[buoyant tree]

@sinful moon followed ur advise and finished Alan Wake 1's DLC

[molten sky]

never use a desk again

[buoyant tree]

Heart rate was at 140~

[silver sky]

Literally don't understand his issue. I can still see the CCTV. Just a different chair.

[buoyant tree]

1 More Alan Wake DLC then I can uninstall Epic games launcher

[sinful moon]

I did mention LDAP, and potential providers of such. Curious where I went wrong there. But thank you as always for corrections!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @whole yew (current: #10 - 728)

[buoyant tree]

What's your job?

[whole yew]

the way you said it implied that LDAP is the identity provider, not the protocol used to access the identity provider

[molten sky]

reminiscent of how grocery store employees can't sit on a stool at their register

except at lidl ofc

[sinful moon]

That's fair and understandable

[whole yew]

it's like saying you have a TLS server

lots of things use TLS, but TLS isn't the service

[sinful moon]

mhmm error was just in how I worded it

[whole yew]

yeah

[whole yew]

Many people get hung up on the appearance of professionalism

[silver sky]

Yeah I think that's his issue. No one can see me from there. No different to the chair.

Of course if I was asleep I would understand. I wasn't tho

[molten sky]

any of y'all have tooling set up to monitor for new subdomains and such? bouta rebuild my suite considering options

[buoyant tree]

wdym by monitoring for subdomains

projectdiscovery has a good dataset of subdomains and keeps it updated i think

[sinful moon]

easy options, Shodan monitor and Hacker Target. I specifically use Hacker Target's DNSdumpster extensively (but manually).

For more manual configs, it shouldn't be hard to set something up for this, but typical vuln scanning platforms aren't looking for new subdomains. Shouldn't be to hard to automate with Gobuster and similar even if less than ideal.

Monitoring for malacious subdomains I believe would potenitally be covered by the above but it's not something I've ever run into practically. Your milage may vary and I'm sure there's better tooling than what I'm aware of

Guessing this is a lot of what you already know, but this is me who does vuln scanning against their orgs

[molten sky]

amass actually can query the Shodan and HT APIs so those bases are covered, it's more a matter of simplifying my automation a bit
i.e. run amass for each target ones a day (or however often), notify upon new entries

[buoyant tree]

@molten skyhttps://chaos.projectdiscovery.io/#/

this one

[molten sky]

been digging around their website a bit, it looks pretty interesting @buoyant tree

you use it?

[buoyant tree]

used it once

cool thingy

[sinful moon]

Could always just cron or RMM it if your RMM does Linux decently. And thanks for mentioning amass, going to check that out

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @molten sky (current: #90 - 68)

[molten sky]

surprised you haven't use it actually - amass is quite useful for enum

if you have API keys it's quite extendable

https://github.com/owasp-amass/amass

[sinful moon]

Yeah instantly looks invaluable and not sure why I've been manually interacting with these sites lol

[buoyant tree]

ur forgetting subfinder

[molten sky]

I prefer ffuf 😶

[buoyant tree]

subfinder got passive now also

[molten sky]

wait what

hold on

[buoyant tree]

subfinder's been updated a lot its one of the fastest and most accurate

[molten sky]

oh shit subfinder is by the guys you linked?

i never noticed who they were, lol

[buoyant tree]

yup

projectdiscovery's a great team

they made httpx, nuclei, subfinder

and a lot more

[sinful moon]

teaching me new things as well, thanks AIO

[molten sky]

httpx is solid haven't used nuc

interesting results

[sinful moon]

Oh I thanked someone else too reciently, so it didnt' fire

[buoyant tree]

ty

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #38 - 186)

[sinful moon]

Heh nice that even ty qualifies

[buoyant tree]

Did some personal testing as well a few months ago

stuck with subfinder because of personal results

[molten sky]

prior image 2022 this one 2023

amass found twice as many from Delta there but still pretty close for Spring

the 2023 one shows amass being slightly faster with Sprint as well, but equal on Delta

[buoyant tree]

spring airlines

[molten sky]

sprint, damnit

shit

spirit

[buoyant tree]

Nah we call it Spring Airlines now, you travel by bouncing on Springs

[sinful moon]

was wondeirng about that but yes

[molten sky]

i was thinking sprint like sprint mobile

[buoyant tree]

Best way to describe the experience on our AIrplane package as well

[sinful moon]

no hyped up Spring Java vulns there c:

[molten sky]

i've literally never used it but amass can generate cool assoc maps tho

[buoyant tree]

seems cool

[sinful moon]

mhmm, for sure took note of that when visting their github, amass seems awesome and thanks for the recomendation

[molten sky]

probably gonna run both subfinder and amass in the new automated stuffs

[sinful moon]

btw where did those subdomain finder comparison graphs come from?

[buoyant tree]

its a article on medium I think

or some of the tool's github repos

[molten sky]

https://blog.blacklanternsecurity.com/p/subdomain-enumeration-tool-face-off-4e5

[sinful moon]

Danke

[buoyant tree]

there's a golang module for subfinder as well

[molten sky]

bitte

[buoyant tree]

so direct interface in ur code

[molten sky]

ngl was probably just gonna dockerize it

keep the host clean

[sinful moon]

All of my Linux hosts in prod are just docker hosts running what I need, indeed. Some custom Docker Compose there too.

Too small use case for K8s

[buoyant tree]

hmm, didn't know it had a docker container

[sinful moon]

Even if it doesn't, you can make it one with a DockerFile describing how to build

[molten sky]

not listed on the git readme but it's described here -- dockerhub is projectdiscovery/subfinder

[buoyant tree]

oh k

[molten sky]

similar for amass but i don't have the dockerhub name in front of me anymore

[sinful moon]

Just curious, what if any do you use for vuln scanning infra, null?

[molten sky]

oh nice hackertarget wappalyzes stuff as well

[molten sky]

depends on the context. if you mean just passively watching things, i keep finding myself looking towards openvas

if at volume then nessus

[sinful moon]

To be fair OpenVAS is active just like Nessus, but indeed. OpenVAS is what I ended up deploying since I wasn't given a budget beyond the server that hosts the infra lol

[molten sky]

yeah the main advantage to nessus proper is more up to date definitions and multi tenancy, otherwise openvas works fine as far as im concerned

[sinful moon]

Greenbone Community Containers are most viable way to deploy outside of Kali, comes with some minor caviats

[molten sky]

still not gonna call it greenbone lol

[sinful moon]

me neither lol, even in our work documentation I have a disclamer that "what I call OpenVAS is another term for what is now called..."

I literally have openvas (Internal) and openvas-ext01 lol

I will say it works half decent after groking some weirdness UI wise and more

[molten sky]

reading amass docs for automation and my eyes are just glossing over

[sinful moon]

most important bit I'll say, if you got with OpenVAS, make sure your Tasks are "Task is Alterable". This may invalidate former Reports, but allows you to actually edit your Tasks as you may expect should be the case

otherwise they're immutable

[molten sky]

ngl i never remember anything about that process for some reason and it's always a PITA getting it spun up when i need it cause i always forget the little nuances

i feel like it was simplier to spin 5 years ago

[sinful moon]

Yeah it's freaking trivial to spin up with greenbone-community-containers these days

all the distro packages... including Arch, that aren't Kali are broken

[molten sky]

that's been my experience

distro native never works OOTB

[sinful moon]

just a large Docker Compose yaml for all of what OpenVAS needs

and just werks

downside, no SSL/TLS, but they finally added official docs under "workflows" to clarify how to add that self signed or otherwise

banged my head against that issue with forum posts until finally got it working and I'm elated lol. OpenVAS screams at you at login that you're using HTTP and insecure, despite default of greenbone-community-containers

[molten sky]

#letsencrypt

[buoyant tree]

done with about a hour of total recall, its right now at a 3/5

[sinful moon]

sadly that's significantly harder to automate unless you terminate SSL/TLS with something like Traffik or Nginx Proxy Manager

[molten sky]

right

docker

[sinful moon]

Also lol I gotta find this post

[molten sky]

idk how i feel about using npm exposed but internally it just works

[iron salmon]

well i did something in the 23 hours today, crawling to bed now bye

[molten sky]

man, i just wish letsencrypt worked for code signing

[wild bane]

10% of the way there

[sinful moon]

G'night equals! 👋

[wild bane]

staying motivated i sgetting kinda rough/

[buoyant tree]

G'night.

[sinful moon]

I was saying Goodnight to equals lol, not going to bed myself

[wild bane]

i have too much other shit going on, but i've also essencially turned my hobby into work/homework. Completely killing my enthusiasm.

[sinful moon]

Not sure how you're keeping it up with your job, although iric you may be between jobs so that's fair. Yeah it is tricky though even at the best of times

[sinful moon]

Yeah turning my hobby into what I literally do for work has had profound impact on my life. It's tricky

[wild bane]

yeah

[distant gazelle]

1k 👀

[sinful moon]

I live and breath tech in all forms, reading news about it, living it, trying wild things for fun and more. They're now all slightly tainted by "this is a work related thing" lol

[wild bane]

1.5k is the highest tracked streak badge.

[buoyant tree]

Also Ellie rapid fire Video Game songs with violin's

[wild bane]

[sinful moon]

I'll bring this to DMs if you really need this in your life lol

[buoyant tree]

I do

I have listened to everything Violin almost

Need new things

[sinful moon]

my headphones just died though so lol, may have to wait a moment

[buoyant tree]

They got a 24h battery life

[distant gazelle]

what the heck

[buoyant tree]

just charge them every 2-3 days

[distant gazelle]

they must be drinking streak freezes

[wild bane]

im just slugging around that empty feeling you get after you finish a series or a good game fransiche

[sinful moon]

And heck Streak Freezes are a more recient intrudocution

[buoyant tree]

same with sunset overdrive, the movement was great

now tmrw going to finish Alan wake

its like a good thing that still hurts a lil

[sinful moon]

Yeah I guess I get those same kinda vibes when I'm doing my own tech these days, depends on the motivation.

[wild bane]

There're ways to trick or bypass streaks entirely, or just stretch courses to cover more of a streak. I still have the same 1 day frezee streak you get at day 7.

[sinful moon]

At least for me I love retro and the more retro I go the less it feels like work lol

[wild bane]

now imagine that feeling not going away, lmao.

[buoyant tree]

start a new one

[buoyant tree]

does Undertale classify as retro

[sinful moon]

They're talking about work vibes/hobbies/and more

When your job is also the thing you do for fun, it becomes challenging

Oh you like PC gaming? That also involves computing, slight twing of work similarites and etc

[wild bane]

"don't think the first thing a lot of chefs do when they get home from a 10 hour shift is cook." kinda deal.

[sinful moon]

Yeah I need more hobbies outside of computing. Been well too long since I've played my guitar but lol, most of my hobbies are based out of computing

[buoyant tree]

wait u can play a guitar?

[sinful moon]

Even my former alt career idea, graphic design, that was just all Photoshop and Illustrator

[distant gazelle]

👀

[sinful moon]

Yes, I have since I was 18

[buoyant tree]

I thought of you as a banjo player more

[distant gazelle]

letting a strak lapse is such a relief tbh h

[sinful moon]

I know how to play Banjo and Ukulele as well but I have literally no idea why you would have known or thought of that

[wild bane]

i'll do that at 1501

[buoyant tree]

Eh just how you are.

[sinful moon]

There was even a time where I would have liked to get into drums except excessively loud in small house and huge kit

[blazing granite]

Actually when the restaurant close the chef cook for the stuff before everybody goes home. I worked in restaurants 🙂

[buoyant tree]

Eh gonna go to violin's and piano when I get the chance

[wild bane]

you're still at work

[sinful moon]

Nah I'm a guitar person though and through, but fair I'm huge on stringed instruments writ large

[buoyant tree]

I just love the violin

[sinful moon]

I played Viola back in the day but struggled with sheet music in my middleschool days

[buoyant tree]

Don't know how many times I have said that but I am sure its a lot

[blazing granite]

no, they finish work, it's like a get together before everybody goes home

Also chefs are always cooking I have friends chefs

they enjoying cooking, it's like breathing

[sinful moon]

I don't mean to dumb guitar and similar instruments down, but tabs are so easy to read it's silly

[buoyant tree]

Rex what do you even do

[sinful moon]

even for fingerpicking

[buoyant tree]

I got guitar pick's but not a guitar

[sinful moon]

I'm huge on classical guitar style tbh, it's lovely

[buoyant tree]

Came bundled in with my ifixit toolkit

[molten sky]

Right now, 30% of you are thinking “does this guy think I’m stupid?”, 50% are thinking “yeah I really should sort that out”, 19% are thinking “amass uses API keys?” and the other 1% are bots that made it past the paywall.
ngl good way to start an article

[sinful moon]

that's a plastic spludger lol

[buoyant tree]

good idea

[sinful moon]

don't use it on a guitar please

[heady nova]

Ello Ellie

[sinful moon]

Heya!

[buoyant tree]

google shows it as the first result

[heady nova]

How you been?

[sinful moon]

Yes it's a plastic spludger, it's not a guitar pick

do not use that on guitar lol

[sinful moon]

[heady nova]

Haha well, I got alotta stuff to do but I'm confused what to start with so I'm just watching some The office vids XD

[sinful moon]

at least for my Linux container stuff it was just "I need a multitenant webserver" so I was like "sure here's this docker-compose.yml" I did and Linux server

[loud marlin]

when i was play guitar i had Gibson ES-335. quite nice guitar...

[buoyant tree]

Ellie they work good on a guitar still

[molten sky]

every admin and vendor?

[heady nova]

Gotta be that good

kinda. 72h or 3 days is my safe limit...

[sinful moon]

Sleep is very important

Don't push it

[loud marlin]

i try do do cable management... dumb ass thing lol

[loud marlin]

i don't. clinical insomnia =/

[heady nova]

You do cable management?

[loud marlin]

yea hehe

[buoyant tree]

Let's talk cable management

[loud marlin]

no lol

[buoyant tree]

I use duct table, cable ties, velcro

[sinful moon]

I forgot, I know this came up last time but yeah, just don't want people to get the wrong idea

[loud marlin]

true... sleep is must 🙂

[heady nova]

I just use a rope

[buoyant tree]

knowing you, ralexander you probably have custom 3d printed parts

[sinful moon]

I already push it with my 6 hours of sleep or less at times. Yeah 6 hours is somewhat sane for an adult but not when you're um doing other things to relax

[loud marlin]

i got some amazon things for cables. just can't sort it as i wish heh

[heady nova]

Accessories for cable management huh

Sed I don't have enough cables

[loud marlin]

yea. like clips that sticks and so

[sinful moon]

Yeah you can get routing things that make this easier

[loud marlin]

yea. i take walks 15-20 min and some food. just to relax brain and so

[sinful moon]

Good vibes, yeah I take similar unnanounced breaks from work from home. Not quite as long but I'd go crazy sitting at that desk all day

[buoyant tree]

Also Ellie, just noticed due to your flim recommendations been watching a lotta great movies before was just watching the latest releases bad or good

[sinful moon]

Are you asking if new movies are good or bad? It dramatically depends on which movie lol

[buoyant tree]

Nop just thanking you

[sinful moon]

Like I said, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" is now one of my fave movies of all time and is modern

[buoyant tree]

Before it was just looking at netflix and watching modern ones

[sinful moon]

AH totally fair, I sure don't mind

[buoyant tree]

yea, its like a 7.8/10 for me

Alien is 9/10 tho

[sinful moon]

I'd rate it higher and you may as well as you get older and understand more of the vibes

totally fair tho

[buoyant tree]

yea

[loud marlin]

if you like war movies. Max Manus: Man of War

[blazing granite]

[sinful moon]

I'm just glad you enjoyed Alien as much as you did, since that's a much more suspenseful atmospheric movie than Aliens would lead you to believe

[buoyant tree]

god no Aliens spoilers

[sinful moon]

lol and that's one of the awful 00 films

[buoyant tree]

I haven't watched Aliens yet

[blazing granite]

I like Mad Max 🙂

[buoyant tree]

Mad max is gooood

8.5/10 for me

[sinful moon]

Aliens is worth a watch but nowhere near as good as Alien

you can stop after that c:

[blazing granite]

spoiler if you didn't see it by now 😂

[buoyant tree]

yup now mad at you

[sinful moon]

He hadn't seen RoboCop until 2024 so spoilers are warranted lol

[loud marlin]

alien movie is movie like you have cat that is crazy

[buoyant tree]

Alien's entire plot basically

Protect the cat

no matter if you are dying

Protect the cat

In a nutshell

[blazing granite]

80/90 movies are the best

[sinful moon]

To be fair, frick the other crewmates and their disagreements with you, cat is impartial

[buoyant tree]

yup

[blazing granite]

nowadays are all remakes, it's like hollywood run out of ideas 😂

[buoyant tree]

• the android twist was a good one

• Love how star treky it looked

[sinful moon]

And they're all bad lol, beyond Dune but that barely counts

[sinful moon]

It looks nothing like Star Trek. Alien is a very lived in battered down world

[buoyant tree]

Eh the ship's

[blazing granite]

the remake of Dune was awful, original Dune FTW!!!

[buoyant tree]

Dune 2021 was a remake?

[sinful moon]

Even the ship is closer to Blade Runner or 2001 than it is Star Trek

[buoyant tree]

eh don't know it looked star treky a lil to me

[sinful moon]

A remake if you consider both films were adaptatations of the original book

[blazing granite]

yes the original is from 1984

[buoyant tree]

hmm

[sinful moon]

Nice bait, but unironically the 2001ish TV mini-series was also great

original 1984 David Lynch film has gained a new found love these days but was not always the case for sure. I love it in its own way but doesn't come close to 2021

[buoyant tree]

Although both of the old both in chat right now

If you love Sci-fi and want a interesting twist on time travel

Watch this tv series

Peripheral

its new and its gooood

[sinful moon]

I'll keep it in mind, but as you say, I too have a massive backlog lol

[buoyant tree]

based upon a book

[buoyant tree]

yup

although its only 8 episodes

[blazing granite]

Quantum Leap, but the original TV

[sinful moon]

Also in my backlog

[buoyant tree]

gtg bye cya

[loud marlin]

Fringe. tv serrie is also great

[sinful moon]

I'd link a classic image but it wouldn't be kosher here lol

[sinful moon]

G'night AIO! See ya

[blazing granite]

The Twilight Zone original

[loud marlin]

twin peaks

[sinful moon]

Still haven't seen Quantum Leap directly but did love him as Johnathan Archer, Captian of NX-01 Enterprise

[blazing granite]

Alfred Hitchcock Presents

[sinful moon]

You all can stop now, the guy who hasn't seen classic media has left lol

I have OG Twilight Zone fullset on blu-ray. Twin Peaks I love and need to get as well

I love Alfred Hitchcock and have seen some of that series but not extensively

[sinful moon]

NX-01 Refit is sexy and what they would have used for season 5 before they were canceled. Bit of a shame. I think it's now cannon in a starship museum

[blazing granite]

yes, a shame

[sinful moon]

Although I will say the dual deflector dishes are kinda silly

[blazing granite]

I feel that all the good ones are cancel early 😂

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, like Star Trek: Entprise finally got good in those last few seasons. Was a shame to cancel when they did

Babylon 5 was forced to rush story for their cancelation, only to be picked up by another network and, well they kinda shot their um... story beats, already

Plenty more but yeah, I'm excited for potentially more Babylon 5. Freaking loved the new animated movie so much

[molten sky]

anyone else here use amass

their documentation is worse than i remember

tryna find some shit

[sinful moon]

I do for the last hour that you mentioned it

[buoyant tree]

Mornin' for me actually

11:01 AM

[sinful moon]

Either way, go to bed if you need it lol

[buoyant tree]

just gotta do some work

[molten sky]

setting up my api sources again and the documentation around it sucks

[sinful moon]

or that too

[buoyant tree]

use some external guide

[molten sky]

i'm trying that too.........

[buoyant tree]

Same procedure as microsoft api's, look at third party docs

[blazing granite]

see you people I'm going to catch some 💤

[molten sky]

it's one of those times where a feature is mostly well documented but you want this one specific flag that apparently nobody uses so nobody doc-ed it

[buoyant tree]

Microsoft's own docs are horrendous

[buoyant tree]

google-fu time

Unless u come across something like this

[molten sky]

death penalty

[buoyant tree]

yup

I HATE THAT

[sinful moon]

Obligatory:

[buoyant tree]

kekw

nvm I solved it

[sinful moon]

I literally don't understand how Microsoft can make such a nice default theme and wallpaper... and then the wallpaper has so much banding, even if you switch to HDR

[molten sky]

wat dat

w11 i assume

[sinful moon]

One of the Win 11 wallpapers, slightly cropped

[molten sky]

they've stepped up their wallpaper game but that's not enough to make me switch

11 is the devil

[sinful moon]

Yeah only did because this gaming laptop is not fun. I technically need a newer model to "Nvidia all the time" like I did on my old

just a quick and dirty dual boot and was curious

This literally framebuffer outputs my Nvidia card into my AMD iGPU to display, bit of insanity

[molten sky]

nooo

pulsedive is changing their tiers

[sinful moon]

Community made asusctl works great and does the switching as it should, but I'm still suss that I'm not getting all of what I need

[molten sky]

that's...................weird

[sinful moon]

First I've heard of PulseDive, not heard of it among threat intel

[sinful moon]

Indeed but so is AMD+Nvidia graphics switching in the first place lol

[molten sky]

locally(ish) based and quite active at conferences and stuff in the area, so 🤷‍♂️

[sinful moon]

Newer models of my laptop have something called a "mux switch" which makes this all or nothing

[molten sky]

pretty new still

[sinful moon]

instead of hybird handoff

Ah fair enough

I won't lie though, I'm considering switching to 2024 model of my laptop after more reviews and especially Linux consensus. This model is great but I can't fully trust the Proton reliability in Linux

[rapid merlin]

guys I have a question!

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, always best to just ask

[molten sky]

questions aren't allowed here

rule 17

[sinful moon]

lol hush

[rapid merlin]

Understood

[simple valve]

u can definitely ask questions

[molten sky]

( that was made up )

[rapid merlin]

I have this guy telling me this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1184282158597165092/1207826482483695646/IMG_3916.png?ex=65e10f11&is=65ce9a11&hm=fb7f9e41ed8cd6f359a47caffbf44b5bb2b7d216da0b984fc0c346fde8931395&

[molten sky]

reading that gave me a stroke

[sinful moon]

same, despite chatting with this fellow. This is likely a joke but I'm having a hard time parsing. More info is needed lol. (Also this is not a question lol)

[rapid merlin]

Yes, and he is in this server too

[simple valve]

yeah you should probs talk with the mods on that

[plucky tendon]

Hi. One of my friends is finally convinced to start in Cybersecurity! And the first place I thought of is TryHackMe.

He has zero knowledge in areas related to cybersecurity and programming.

What path order do you guys recommend for him?

[rapid merlin]

Yep!

[simple valve]

Pre-Security -> Into to Cybersecurity

[molten sky]

( warn him that those ones are a bit of reading though, the later ones are more fun )

[rapid merlin]

Truth

[sinful moon]

All I will say is that you can take your own pace to learning TryHackMe. Yes some will shoot straight up to exploiting AD, but there's much more to infosec... and life... and work... than just mainlining THM into your system

[rapid merlin]

I get the point, he is trolling us

and misguides others

[sinful moon]

I've chatted with the dude previously here and he didn't seem malicious, may have just been a joke or a hot take but I don't know full context

[molten sky]

yeah he's been fine here in chat at least

[rapid merlin]

I know that he is harmless, but the misguidance he spreads is not good

[plucky tendon]

Alright! After completing these too, should he go for the JPT path or the complete beginner one? (He has some interest in Red Teaming/PT)

[sinful moon]

You're not entirely wrong but I've never got bad vibes off the dude, but I will push back that potentially 0 to compromising AD networks in two weeks is pretty darn fast

[rapid merlin]

well he didn't said to me, but to other new ppls

I'm not new tho!

[sinful moon]

Yeah, figured from your role. Was this in public chat then?

[molten sky]

is he technically capable
