community effort 💯

[rapid merlin]

tho what's funny is that the switch was actually planning to use android (specifically cyanogenmod) for it's OS, but cyanogenmod (now lineageOS) flipped them off 😂

[shut hawk]

[bleak grotto]

[bleak grotto]

[rapid merlin]

respect to you aswell

[bleak grotto]

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

i mean nothing wrong about that right?

[bleak grotto]

as long as it's just a phase

[mossy river]

There’s a Mr Beast burger nearby 🤔 imma try it

[bleak grotto]

[rapid merlin]

😂

[shut hawk]

[mossy river]

I’m waiting to be massively underwhemled

[bleak grotto]

I mean Iknow I won't be a skiddie for long, but yeah I guess for now thats the title I wear ;p

[mossy river]

I ordered two meals because we bulking

[rapid merlin]

yeah, i mean even as a skid, you could cause a lot of mayhem or help lots of people.

As long as you're very good with your programs and tools.

[bleak grotto]

[mossy river]

[rapid merlin]

[bleak grotto]

but hold on

I am not from the US so

thats also news to me

[rapid merlin]

me neither, but mrbeast does in fact have a food chain restaurant.

[mossy river]

I’m also not from the US

[bleak grotto]

@rapid merlin indeed

[mossy river]

Yes he is the YouTuber

[bleak grotto]

but I know I can be more than that 😄 just need to be consistent

[rapid merlin]

i'm 6'2, but woah i gotta cut A LOT.

[bleak grotto]

yea I remember him

[mossy river]

Do you workout?

[bleak grotto]

he used to do the dono videos

on streams

I do

[rapid merlin]

not much, but from time to time, mainly because of my internship 💀

[sage sand]

yes you can beat mr beast!!

[mossy river]

You probably don’t want to be my weight lol, I’m quite underweight

[bleak grotto]

tried calisthenics for 6 months but I am 6,4

hard af

[rapid merlin]

i weigh around 103 kg or so?

[bleak grotto]

wo

how tall?

[near hawk]

I thought that was average bmi

[rapid merlin]

6'2

[bleak grotto]

haha, thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sage sand (current: #2063 - 1)

[bleak grotto]

I dont want to beat him tho 😄

[mossy river]

You’d probably want to sit around 80

[bleak grotto]

he seems like a cool guy

[sage sand]

i want to tickle mr beast

[rapid merlin]

yeah that's what I thought.

but maybe i should sit around 85?

[mossy river]

BMI doesn’t work if you’re lifting. I am not at a healthy weight

[bleak grotto]

whats bmi?

[sage sand]

so do u guys work from home or in office?

[near hawk]

Ahh right as i’m same height but at like 72

[rapid merlin]

thanks for the facts. +rep

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1224)

[near hawk]

Body mass index

[sage sand]

doesnt working from home get miserable, being stuck in ur room 24/7

[bleak grotto]

depending, this month I worked 9 days out of the 22 business ones

[rapid merlin]

i never work from home, cuz i repair stuff and i need to go to places like company offices to help them with their computers.

[mossy river]

It’s a way to calculate how heavy you are but it doesn’t account for muscle mass. Often means that people with a lot of muscle mass are considered ‘obese’

[bleak grotto]

it has its ups and downs

but I can work from anywhere

I consider it a +

hmm

I only knew of lean muscle mass

and body mass

[tawny widget]

Greetings, can I shoot you a DM real quick?

[mossy river]

This is why I go to the gym and try to get plenty of sunlight

[mossy river]

Go for it

[bleak grotto]

yeah

[rapid merlin]

oh yeah vitamin d3 is very important

[bleak grotto]

I think thats the thing with this lifestyle

is to be able to create balance in your life

and I think it's easier to create balance when you work from hoem

rather than when you spend 1hr back and forth to the office

[near hawk]

I have a home gym not much just a few weights

[sage sand]

creating balance when you're working a job that requires insane hours is hard

[near hawk]

Bench press and bicep curl

[sage sand]

you get too exhausted to even step outside or go to the gym

[bleak grotto]

I tried the home gym thing, didnt work out for me

[sage sand]

takes alot of dedication to be able to do both 😛

[mossy river]

Best part about working out is telling people I work in cyber. Beating the stereotypes 💪

[bleak grotto]

I prefer street work outs or gym work outs

@sage sand how many hours you work/month?

[near hawk]

Gotta rep the THM merch at gym

[bleak grotto]

@mossy river I never speak to people at the gym

haha

only when I go with couple of my buddies (once a month maybe)

I speak to them

haha

[rapid merlin]

they just think u would be in the brogrammer category. 😂

[sage sand]

im doing private contract work so typically sit here 13-16 hours a day

[bleak grotto]

oof

how much do you plan doing this for?

[sage sand]

till i burn out

[tawny widget]

Did it

[flint sluice]

jbazbaaaa <3

[sage sand]

and its taking a toll on my mental health..

[mossy river]

Your energy plateaus when you stop moving. A lot of people who actively exercise have high levels of energy.

And people who exercise and properly track their nutrition are also much better off because they’re giving their body what it needs

[mossy river]

Vargiii, miss u <3

[flint sluice]

Miss u 2 boo

[bleak grotto]

yeah, it's a circle

[sage sand]

that is very true man.. i literally feel tired 24/7

the only time i get up from my chair is to go to the bathroom XD

[bleak grotto]

in order to be highly active you need to get your sleep, movement and diet in place

yeah Luka

thats why I asked you for how long you plan doing this for

[sage sand]

i think stepping out for 1.5 hours to the gym would give me enough energy levels to work more productively with the 1.5 hours less computer time

[bleak grotto]

because you and me both know it won't work out fortoo much

[rapid merlin]

yup, 7 - 8 hours sleep is one of the perfect way to be highly active.

[sage sand]

im not sure how to word it properly but yea

[bleak grotto]

working 13-16 hours every day

[sage sand]

yea its pretty grueling

[rapid merlin]

13 - 16 hours?!

[bleak grotto]

also, even though if you put in 13-16 hours

how many of these hours are you highly performant?

[sage sand]

not much at all..

[bleak grotto]

it's also about the quality

[sage sand]

😅

yes i agree

[bleak grotto]

not only the quantity

[sage sand]

i took the lazy route

[bold dawn]

i work a lot at high performance

[sage sand]

if i had the energy and wasnt feeling depressed i could definately fit in a nice gym session + still work productively

[bold dawn]

by choice

[bleak grotto]

and I think that by trying to schedule your week with 1-2x workouts (for the start) and good diet and sleep

[crude stump]

Aye hello people

[bleak grotto]

you might achieve more with less

than take a few days easier tasks, recover, fill your energy levels

[sage sand]

yea i seriously need to grab a tub of preworkout and force my ass back in the gym

[bleak grotto]

and start, there is the inertia

[bold dawn]

I work out almost daily, I work 9 to 11 hours of work, then I get home and usually immediately volunteer at the church, plus I run a side hustle business, which takes work

[bleak grotto]

if it feels very hard to start, once you start it, it should feel very good

[bold dawn]

and I have a wife, dog, and kid on the way

[bleak grotto]

the very hard part is simply starting it

[sage sand]

haha believe me i used to go daily for 6 months straight

never felt better

not sure why i quit, and not sure why i haven't started again when i know for a fact it'll make me feel 10x better

[bleak grotto]

damn

[bleak grotto]

yeah, we as humans our natural(energy giving) habitats are outside in nature and doing activity

this 24/7 sit on a chair between a cubical made out of 4 walls with few light inside

is slowly killing us

[sage sand]

bro my brain has become jello

[bleak grotto]

and you trade your health, time and energy for what

after all

[sage sand]

i've had to start taking anxiety meds too

actually has fucked my life up 😂

[bleak grotto]

yeah, if you also spend too much time on the focus stealers such as social media and so on

[sage sand]

in attempts to make fast cash

[bleak grotto]

that's how you can end up ;p

[sage sand]

how i see it right now is, i can quit anytime i want

[bleak grotto]

but reality is that something that comes easy goes easy

[sage sand]

i can quickly grind out these tasks and just go through a grueling few months

make enough to where it pays out the same as working a few years

[rapid merlin]

i haven't used social media platforms such as instagram, facebook, twitter and snap for half a year

[bleak grotto]

but idk if you can call working 13-16 hours the easy way man 😄

[chilly veldt]

My brain has become jello after this weekend's CTF

[rapid merlin]

still don't use the trash platforms

[bleak grotto]

haha

which one do you mean?

[sage sand]

HAAHA once i take a break from this i'd hope the misery i'm living through pays off

[rapid merlin]

especially snap

[bleak grotto]

never used snap in my whole life

neither tik tok

[rapid merlin]

for taking your geolocation and ip address 24/7

[sage sand]

how do you communicate with others ?

[bleak grotto]

phone/whatsapp

[rapid merlin]

i use whatsapp

like a normal european does

[sage sand]

ah

[bleak grotto]

I usually keep my phone on DND

people get mad at me cuz they call me

and I never answer

[sage sand]

in the usa it's different..
I'd be an outcast without social media

[bleak grotto]

but yeah I do it cuz I once got really hooked up on this short form content

[rapid merlin]

or imessage

green bubbles = no bitches, that's how it is in the us

[sage sand]

😅

[rapid merlin]

unfortunately.

[sage sand]

guess who has an andriod

[bleak grotto]

never been to the states

[sage sand]

LOL

[rapid merlin]

i use android aswell

especially my primary device

and second one is an iphone se 1st gen

that has a crypto wallet and other apps.

[sage sand]

it is actually an insane phenomenon how it turns girls off by having an android

obviously not all girls.. but the ones in the club man..

[bleak grotto]

really? is that a thing

[sage sand]

yes dude

[bleak grotto]

man depends what you search for

girls for having random one nights or few nights

or a girl girl

[rapid merlin]

my friends that have an iphone tell me to switch to iphone or tell me how secure it is.

💀

iphone and android are both unsafe

there's no privacy

unless you mod your device

[sage sand]

i simply just use android because i swtich my phones once every 5 years
and i'm still 3 years into my samsung

[bleak grotto]

bcz I still think that if you search good enough you will find a good woman

[sage sand]

i guess i might have to make that switch to apple once this phone breaks

[rapid merlin]

and use custom roms like calyxos, grapheneos or divestos

[bleak grotto]

not some clubbing materialistic girl

[sage sand]

yea of course bro

just takes some time..

alot of searching. 😅

[flint sluice]

I love my iPhone.

[bleak grotto]

ofc, anything valuable in life takes time - it gives value to itself

otherwise we wouldnt know what value is

[sage sand]

well said

[bleak grotto]

and yeah I guess we are a strange generation in terms of relationships

its like a identity crisis all over the globe

[sage sand]

yes bro.. i truly believe dating apps are parasites

[bleak grotto]

never used them :p also in my country they became popular maybe a year ago

two years ago

[sage sand]

it's the easiest way to find relations.. but the acessibility of it has fucked how relationships are

[bleak grotto]

usually people used to laught at you 2 years ago if you were having tinder on your phone

haha

[rapid merlin]

tbh the world has gone to shits so bad that you couldn't/shouldn't judge a person from their ethnicity, phone, origin etc. Just be at least thankful that you have a loyal kind person beside you

[bleak grotto]

but also my country still has trams from 1970

=d

[sage sand]

i would personally love to meet a girl outside of dating apps.. but when i'm not in university, nor work in an office

it's kind of hard..

i cant just have one magically spawn in front of me 🤣

[bleak grotto]

yeah, I feel you

[rapid merlin]

only works in runescape.

💀 😂

[sage sand]

buyin gf 10k

[bleak grotto]

after I broke up with my ex because she left to finish her med school in another country

I also stopped searching for a while

until I get to where Iwant to get profesionally

[rapid merlin]

tbh im not interested in this gf/bf thing

[bleak grotto]

and financially and all

[rapid merlin]

if i find the one, I'll marry her.

[sage sand]

i'm where i want financially yet it's still a struggle 😅

[bleak grotto]

wishing the best for you man

[sage sand]

one day..

[rapid merlin]

it even goes against my religion to have a gf/bf relationsship.

straight to marriage

: )

[sage sand]

ah good shit bro

personally i just feel like im missing out on my 20s without being in a relationship

22 and havent had a girlfriend yet..

[rapid merlin]

but either way, I'm not interested in marriage atm.

gotta finish my school first, then we can talk abt it 😂

[bleak grotto]

well stuff about girls is that

if you talk about these clubbign girls

is that if you have a girl around you it will attract more girls

in a club

[sage sand]

very true! it's a natural response

[bleak grotto]

and if you are in uni, why not search for one there

I think you will end up better anyways

club hookups 99% times suck

for me

[rapid merlin]

tbh in my country, it's sad that the new gen teens are horrible nowadays.

[bleak grotto]

same for mine

[sage sand]

yes of course.. i would never date a girl who i met from the club

maybe i just have a very doomer mindset

[bleak grotto]

and that 1% I leave it not to generalize again haha

yeah

[rapid merlin]

it's honestly sad.

[bleak grotto]

almost the same in my country too

[rapid merlin]

😔

[bleak grotto]

thats what the new gens find cool nowadays

to b stupid haha

[rapid merlin]

i wish there could be another way to educate them in a better way.

[bleak grotto]

its like making fun of yourself

[rapid merlin]

cuz school systems nowadays are just shit and old

[mossy river]

I want to remind everyone where you are. Talking/ promoting the consumption of drugs is not appropriate here 🙂

[rapid merlin]

oh. i apologize thanks mate.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1225)

[rapid merlin]

best admin ❤️

tim aswell

[sage sand]

speaking of school... darn i missed out on the social aspect of it

[bleak grotto]

thats because a lot of the content and the people that are "generational leaders" promote this stuff

[sage sand]

graduated highschool early and never went to uni

[bleak grotto]

thorugh songs and so on

and somehow the education is not aimed at this type of topics

[rapid merlin]

uni is utterly useless, unless you study medicine, law or go to a pilot schooling

[sage sand]

yea the new generation is in a very messy situation right now

[bleak grotto]

in my country you will study what people studied 50 years ago

same topics

[sage sand]

i see it as a social thing tb

being around people your age

going out meeting new friends

[bleak grotto]

yeah, I started uni 5 years ago

[rapid merlin]

that i don't like

[bleak grotto]

and left

[rapid merlin]

betrayal everywhere

[bleak grotto]

because I couldn't integrate myself

[sage sand]

im a highly extorverted person forced to live an highly introverted lifestyle

[rapid merlin]

no matter how close u are.

[sage sand]

which is my issue

[rapid merlin]

which is why i don't trust many of my friends

even tho they're my friends

[sage sand]

yea it's always good to be cautious about everyone man

not to where you push people away though

just to stay alert

[bleak grotto]

yeah, people nowadays are not to be trusted

especially the younger

there is no more value/principle in relations

[sage sand]

it's always been like that man

[bleak grotto]

maybe

the older ones say it was different

[sage sand]

with social media / internet it's just been easier to spot

[rapid merlin]

speaking of not trusted

[bleak grotto]

who knows

[sage sand]

but it's always been like that

thats human nature

[bleak grotto]

i dont think it was always like that

its just that this new ages give you the idea of independence

and they promote it

years ago without unity you would ve died

and yeah nowadays you can pretty much survive just fine on your own

[sage sand]

haha talking about this is seriously making me feel depressed

[bleak grotto]

and thats why people will "betray" "not value" you easily

[sage sand]

i wish i was less aware of things and able to live a more careless life

overthinking everything has made me feel miserable

[bleak grotto]

hmm, I think you just need to work out on how you take all the things

it's good to find the balance between what you take seriously

and what you realize you should take lightly

and that comes with age

you will see slowly it will get better

[rapid merlin]

tbh my perspective is that the young lads got too big mouthed in front a blue light LCD screen cuz they can't be punished.

that's what their perspective is aswell.

so they take that into reality aswell

[bleak grotto]

yeah, thats what I tried to point out that before if you were not valuing principles and unity

[rapid merlin]

and take no accountability for what they did.

[bleak grotto]

you would have get punished in some sort of way

going back thousands years ago, you would have been kicked out of the tribe and died alone

and even hundreds when everything was known inside a village

no one would trust you again

[rapid merlin]

definitely

[bleak grotto]

you were marginalized

[sage sand]

we've been given too much freedom for our own good 😛

[rapid merlin]

but yeah i forgot to ask, where are you guys from?

kinda curious now 😂

[bleak grotto]

eastern europe

;p

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[sage sand]

I'm in canada right now bro

[rapid merlin]

canada? nice

[sage sand]

meh

[bleak grotto]

romania

[jaunty prairie]

yay for Canada

[rapid merlin]

i live in germany

[sage sand]

originally from serbia, lived minutes away from romanian border

[bleak grotto]

I live minutes away from serbian border

haha ;d

[sage sand]

😅

[rapid merlin]

very beautiful country

[sage sand]

interesting lool

[sage sand]

i love german culture bro! my work partners are from germany

[jaunty prairie]

how long have you been in Canada luka?

[sage sand]

netherlands/germany really fun culture

[rapid merlin]

yeah 😅

[sage sand]

15 years

[rapid merlin]

imma join the general vc

[bleak grotto]

but anyways, I think we are free phisically in some sort of way, but mentally we are being "preyed" on by a lot of stuff we use, such as social media, bad food and so on

[jaunty prairie]

Netherlands and Germany is where I want to go...one daay

[sage sand]

i've been planning to travel.. but i have such little faith on laptops

[bleak grotto]

in a few days I will take the pentest+ exam and I want to hopefully move to Spain

[sage sand]

i work on virtual machines and i swear to god no matter what laptop i get, my virtual machines lag 24/7

[bleak grotto]

with a new job and all

[bleak grotto]

haha

half my team is German

I like German people

cool guys, really open minded and educated

I mean I work with 40-50 years old people much more experienced than me with kids and so on

and they are really cool guys you can talk about anything with them and vibe

in Romania you wont see that with a 40-50 year old

[sage sand]

yo man germany was humbling... i felt like an idiot roaming around and ugly compared to everyone

[bleak grotto]

i am 25

[sage sand]

everyone seemed intelligent, idk how to explain it

😂

[rapid merlin]

what vm program do you use?

[bleak grotto]

yeah

[sage sand]

vmware

[rapid merlin]

what os are you using?

[sage sand]

unironcally my vm issues are the only thing holding me back from traveling

windows

i have a 4090, 64 gb ram laptop

[rapid merlin]

if you use a windows vm on windows

use hyper-v

[sage sand]

😮

[rapid merlin]

or virtualbox if necessary.

but tbh virtualbox ain't the best

i do use it tho for tiny projects.

[sage sand]

so you wouldn't suggest vmware?

[rapid merlin]

no vmware is good

[sage sand]

i've been sticking with vmware relgiously for the past few years

but yea with every laptop i've tried.. just insane lag

very fucking weird

[rapid merlin]

but you should try hyper-v

if you use a windows vm

[sage sand]

is that going to be connected to my microsoft account that i use on my main desktop?

[rapid merlin]

nope

you just gotta add the windows feature hyper-v

[sage sand]

so in a opsec standpoint, no issues with it?

[rapid merlin]

check a tutorial

[sage sand]

lmfao i promise the moment i get a vm working w.o lag

i'm booking a flight to miami first thing

[rapid merlin]

i just checked

sec is no prob

but

it won't output audio and has no usb connectivity

[manic olive]

hello guys sorry for interupt can someone help me on #room-help

[shut hawk]

You know, there is one good thing about lending money

If they don't give them back to you, you know the person's worth

[crude stump]

Yeah but you also loose Michu

Money

[oak river]

Depends on how much you gave

And also true

But I prefer to know the value of someone if it's not too expensive

I mean it's less expensive than OSCP

Much less

By the way, if any of you are on PC right now, check that you are on 64-bit version of Discord.
Press the cog in the bottom left, scroll down on the sidebar until you see "64 bit" if it says x86 you are in 32-bit

[mossy river]

@wooden totem

[wooden totem]

Right yeah

[crude stump]

man im having a awsome day

[wooden totem]

Never went to settings

[mossy river]

What's happened so far?

[crude stump]

nothing lmao just woke up

im doing tryhackme right now

[mossy river]

Ahah, loving the positivity

[crude stump]

nah but im loving wireshark right now

very fun investigating

[wooden totem]

Usually when I wake up happy, something is wrong with me

[blazing granite]

I remember the beginnings of 64 when 32 and 64 coexist, but nowadays what's the point of having a 32 bit soft 😂

[crude stump]

also idk why but listening to music at the same time as doing tryhackme gets me into the mood

[mossy river]

Research says that music can affect your mood 😎

[wooden totem]

Personally can't read something with music, how do u do it

[crude stump]

focus on the reading part

[sharp sail]

i'm the opposite, funny how the brain works

[blazing granite]

music and the weather too

[crude stump]

like when im reading i focus on reading and kinda block out the music for a minute

[brisk cosmos]

Yeah, but if I turn the music on Infront my parents they get angry 🗿

[crude stump]

you got ear buds or headphones?

wiz in the house

[brisk cosmos]

Remember that I am from Iraq and half of the country is poor

[blazing granite]

turn down that forsaken awful sound 😂

[crude stump]

hm

[jaunty prairie]

i like to use binareal beats or lofi to study

[brisk cosmos]

Go to YouTube and type iraqi music 😂

[crude stump]

you could just ignore them and play the music anyways lmao

might get your self beat but anything for the music

[wooden totem]

Get beat in tempo with the music

[crude stump]

hell yeah

[blazing granite]

I thought you were talking about western modern music 😂 no need I know the music, I have friend that the grandparents/parents where from there. They told me the used to be a very large and prosperous Jewish community before the 1950, actually it had been Jews there since it was the Babylonian empire

Also I've been to Baghdad, beautiful city so much culture history

[crude stump]

GNU dont you live in Israel

[blazing granite]

I've been in Tehran too, but I like Baghdad better, I bet that there are other beautiful places in the country, sadly I only had time for Baghdad it was more like a business trip so it was only a few days not enough to go outside Baghdad

[hard pier]

I’m trying to decode the hashed password from /etc/shadow. But John will take a lot of time. Any other methods? Suggestions please

[glass nest]

See if theres an alternative escalation method?

[hard pier]

I got into the root

[glass nest]

Oh. so why do you need to decode anything?

[hard pier]

There’s this vm which can’t be logged in unless I enter the password

[glass nest]

could you create another user with elevated privs?

[hard pier]

We can create another user with elevated privileges but we can’t set/change the password for it .

[glass nest]

If it's a THM box, any sort of brute forcing required should only take a couple of mins max. If it's taking longer, probably not the best way through

[hard pier]

Yeah. Johns showing 16hrs

[glass nest]

It is sunday. Maybe john is on holiday?

[hard pier]

This is my personal lab. I’m experimenting it. Although I know the password :/

[hard pier]

I’ll run out of fuel if he doesn’t help me

[glossy portal]

Probably out ripping something

Ripping tires

[hard pier]

Any other methods?

[naive violet]

On a default box? What distro?

LXC/LXD privesc is there by default on ubuntu

@karmic wraith Please don't send unsolicited friend requests and direct messages. Both are against the rules

[hard pier]

Ubuntu

[naive violet]

Yeah so try lxd/lxc

Hi guys

Iam turn

[glass nest]

Ugh. Stupid sunday hours. hungry, no food in so my options are takeout. (okay, so it's a result of bad planning on my part, but let me rant 😄 )

[naive violet]

Esqy! I got my pi pico thing working

[glass nest]

Oh sweet, Whats it do? More signal cleaning?

[naive violet]

It'll be a shortwave radio reciever

[crude stump]

why are aliens a big think in tryhackme

[glass nest]

Cos most of the users and staff are aliens.

[crude stump]

makes sense

[glass nest]

Oh sweet. you'll be able to listen to live football games 😄

[crude stump]

you may be on to something

[glass nest]

So James - You say you had to downgrade/put away a lot of your toys - Whats the short-term plan? Can you still listen to Space?

sorry 'Spaaaaace'

[crude stump]

contact alien lifeforms

might get confused with the staff at tryhackme tho

[glass nest]

We've already been through that, but consider - Humans in orbit MIGHT be an alien lifeform to James

[naive violet]

You can too using a sky dish, a £2.50 aliexpress bias-tee, and an RTL SDR

[glass nest]

But it's rude to ask someones species on here. We are all equal 🙂

I'll stick to carving wood for the moment 😄

Managed 3 pens today, am hunting for food, gonna try to get 2 more done before calling it a day

[crude stump]

do you sell em esqy?

you should get a lazer engraver and burn initials on em

for people who buy

dog

[glass nest]

I can sell them for £15 each - thats £75, plus 2 I already have - Just over £100. Cost to make is... about £5 each, and an hour or so work

[crude stump]

oh nice

[glass nest]

Aces - Thats a solid idea - Gonna get my pen-making good before trying to engrave and stuff

thats when Imma chat more to ralex - He's engraved pretty much everything

[crude stump]

yoo you gotta make a pen out of that rainbow eucalyptus tree

the color is beautiful

[glass nest]

If I can get the wood from somewhere

[crude stump]

hm might be hard

[glass nest]

Yeah, looks like the colours develop over time

So cutting and carving it just turns it Gray

[crude stump]

wait hm it seems like that is only on the outside of it

that sucks

[glass nest]

The most striking ones have been made from Purpleheart - a naturally purple wood. Its gorgeous

[rapid merlin]

is anyone here good at setting up rats?

I need like a hand ykkk

[glass nest]

wouldnt have thought so

Although @naive violet Is good at it, you should ask him

[crude stump]

interesting

bro wood is expensive gah damn

[rapid merlin]

Like I tried setting up quasar

whenevetr someone downloads shit non happened

[crude stump]

a slab of regular eucalyptus is over 300 bucks

[rapid merlin]

whenever i do i rat myself

[glass nest]

Haha yeah. to get woods other than oak and.. well, Pine, I have to drive like 70 miles to a specialist place

[naive violet]

You tryna hack someone?

[crude stump]

crazy

[rapid merlin]

tryna like ya

[naive violet]

You know that's illegal right?

[glass nest]

https://www.yandles.co.uk/timber-sawmill/exotic-native-woodturning-blanks/c907 <-- this is where I normally get exotic woods from

[rapid merlin]

he hacked me

so like

..

[bleak grotto]

😂

[rapid merlin]

besides I grabbed like

[bleak grotto]

[glass nest]

My lathe isnt quite powerful enough to do bowls

[rapid merlin]

40 mil people

[naive violet]

You know that's still illegal right?

[crude stump]

saw a video of a dude who got his walnut tree cut down illegally and apparently people are pretty desperate for walnut wood. got a pretty penny on it

[rapid merlin]

ya

[rapid merlin]

mhm

[bleak grotto]

chriptzz thats u

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: xxxxxxcccchrrriptttz#0 has been banned.

[bleak grotto]

😂

[glass nest]

Yeah. black walnut especially. It's a hard wood and looks lovely when all polished up

[bleak grotto]

thanks James

[crude stump]

oh way

wow

the purple heart looks amazing

ever try that on a pen?

[glass nest]

😉

not painted or stained, just polished

[crude stump]

yoo

[glass nest]

Needed to leave it in the sunlight for about half an hour to get the purple to... I guess activate might be the right word

[crude stump]

now that is pretty

only problem, do you have any trouble using pine because of the sap?

[glass nest]

Enhanced by the fake grass, and bit of wood I got from the repltile section of a pet store 😄

Pine is a softwood, so not great for things like this as it breaks easily

But I make chairs and things from it

[crude stump]

thats really cool

[glass nest]

Yah. I spend way to much time staring at screens, so wanted to do something physical

[crude stump]

definitely

[pseudo scroll]

Hey all

[crude stump]

always good to do something else

[boreal scarab]

Mfer did a photoshoot of a pen

[crude stump]

hello krax

[glass nest]

It's called advertising :p

[boreal scarab]

[crude stump]

yeah BERRISE

[boreal scarab]

Smencils. Thats all you need

[glass nest]

Haha

[boreal scarab]

You write, and if you want a nice wiff of an amazing scent, smell your smencil!

[glass nest]

ok, thats one thing my pens don't have - a fruity aroma

[crude stump]

oh wait the ones that are infused with smells lol

you could always soak your wood in some essential oils and dry it out

might make the lathe process harder but

[glass nest]

infuse it with redbull. So if you chew your pencil, you get a boost while studying

[crude stump]

lmao

genius

[glass nest]

Nah, Purpleheart is a really tough wood. I gotta sharpen the chisels after each time usually 😄

[crude stump]

or infuse it will ghost pepper oil to ward off pencil chewers

[buoyant tree]

Just why do you enjoy watching the world burn

[glass nest]

people on here love hot food, so they'd just much on the pencil as a snack

[buoyant tree]

Although use carolina reaper one

twice as spicy

[crude stump]

they actually bred a even hotter one then the reaper

called X somthing

hold on

https://www.foodandwine.com/pepper-x-hottest-pepper-in-the-world-8363330

pepper X

[hard pier]

Can you edit the shadow file using vim

[glass nest]

they make a new 'hottest' one every year

[crude stump]

think its there goal

pepper contests

[glass nest]

Rift - I can't do anything with vim. apart from exit it.

[crude stump]

nahhh imagine a pepper smoothie

[hard pier]

It’s a bash shell. I can’t even use nano

[crude stump]

every peper made blended up into a smoothie

pepper

[hard pier]

@glass nest

[glass nest]

the blender would melt

[crude stump]

lava

[glass nest]

If you can use Vim, and have edit permissions, yep

Could drop a self-hashed password in there

[buoyant tree]

cat or >

[blazing granite]

@buoyant tree @glass nest Good Afternoon!! How are you?

[glass nest]

Hungry 😄

[buoyant tree]

Hating coding.

[blazing granite]

me too, it's almost 2pm and I haven't had lunch I must do something 😂

[sand trench]

not even in easy mode???

[buoyant tree]

there's a easy mode?

[sand trench]

vim -y

ctrl + q to quit and ctrl + s to save

and you can write and type like normal

[blazing granite]

everybody goes through that phase once in his life 😂

[rapid merlin]

i feel u man

😭

[buoyant tree]

why the hell isn't that the default one

[rapid merlin]

C# is hell

[blazing granite]

hey shodow, how are you?

[sand trench]

it can be if you alias it

[buoyant tree]

or once a hour

or once a minute

[blazing granite]

what happend to :wq! 😂

[crude stump]

This might be a dumb question but does having more security systems make it harder to catch anomalies?

[sand trench]

tired after farming 655 waves in dragonfable

[sand trench]

not applicable for vim easy mode

[hard pier]

Is it possible to edit the shadow file? It was readonly. I changed the permissions to write access. When I did edit, it resulted in an error :/

[sand trench]

...

dear meeps

[blazing granite]

I didn't know there was an easy mode

[buoyant tree]

Shadow, asking this for @blazing granite , is there a hard mode?

[blazing granite]

the normal way

[sand trench]

technically yes as you can change the config to not allow you into insert mode or to lock you from doing things

[rapid merlin]

imagine speedrunning a course on tryhackme

👀

[blazing granite]

vi is know for not being that an acquired taste

[wooden totem]

Hmm

[buoyant tree]

Gucci smart brick

[rapid merlin]

The Bluetooth Device Is Ready To Pair

[buoyant tree]

hmm, adding to my list of torture methods, this may top everything

[rapid merlin]

. . .!

The Bluetooth Device Is Connected Successfully

[wooden totem]

lmao what

[buoyant tree]

I would suggest you get the hell out of whereever you are

[wooden totem]

This stuff is so outdated

[blazing granite]

I've have being using vi/vim for years and I never new about that option 😂

[sand trench]

just unbind the insert mode toggle button and tada no insert mode

[rapid merlin]

wtf do you lot have in your device manager?

[blazing granite]

I meant the ctrl+q and such

[wooden totem]

random stuff from years ago

I think smart socks were just earbuds

[sand trench]

that only applies in vim easy mode

which is apparently not included in neovim

[rapid merlin]

oh ffs

[blazing granite]

I used vi/vim, never neovim

[rapid merlin]

ur not alone 😭

[wooden totem]

I stopped naming stuff when it got very confusing changing it

[grim sparrow]

@rapid merlin has been warned.

[grim sparrow]

[WARNING] I cannot DM that user.

[rapid merlin]

oop

[wooden totem]

what did blud do

[naive violet]

@rapid merlin Hey, we have a zero tolerance policy on racism here

[rapid merlin]

[wooden totem]

[rapid merlin]

[naive violet]

Yes.

[wooden totem]

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[wooden totem]

how is that racist

[rapid merlin]

stereotypes i guess

[naive violet]

Every time I try to enforce the rules here, you seem to argue.
That's not acceptable. Please adjust your attitude.

[wooden totem]

I'm honestly just curious

[rapid merlin]

nah ur good, ur just doing ur job like anyone does nowadays.

[rapid merlin]

i think

does anybody know how to report a discord server so it gets banned IMMEDIATELY?

I need urgent help removing a certain server distributing certain illegal stuff.

[heady meteor]

hey

[blazing granite]

you report it to discord, when is banned is at discretion of Discord

[rapid merlin]

discord.me is doing jackshit aswell

for fucks sake

[rapid merlin]

at the same time i wanna find these people aswell

i do have the url and name service

all registered in some Singaporean company

can we take it in the dms

i actually want to destroy these websites.

it's disgusting

[blazing granite]

reporting is all you should do, after that you're in danger of falling in some dubious practice

[rapid merlin]

alright man.

[naive violet]

@rapid merlin Please don't steer towards vigilante hacking here, that's illegal and not allowed here

[rapid merlin]

alright alright. i'll make sure to only report them.

[tiny crypt]

I'd like to educate on the legality of cybersecurity does anybody have some easy to understand ressources?

[polar spoke]

That’s a bit broad

“Cybersecurity” typically indicates only the legal stuff though

So… all of it’s legal?

[tiny crypt]

well ... that sound logical lmao now i feel a bit dumb but oh well 🙃

[rapid merlin]

cybersec is within legality.

[normal fable]

If you really want to know all the legal stuff, law school is an option.

[rapid merlin]

that true

[normal fable]

I've considered it myself.

[vocal gale]

What's upp ez it's been awhile 🫡

[tiny crypt]

well the reason behind my question was just kind of that i dont wanna break any laws on accident lol

[normal fable]

But.. I do think it takes a certain definition.

[tiny crypt]

and lawschool is a bit much for that xD

[naive violet]

Golden rule: Don't hack stuff that doesn't belong to you

The exceptions to that rule are where the complexity is

[normal fable]

I just say.. don't do illegal stuff. 🤣

[glass nest]

And if you are unsure of the legalities... Enumerate!

[vocal gale]

Even the smallest things can get you in big trouble

[glass nest]

I swear, thats the answer to so many of lifes issues, both techy and non.

CCG - Are you named afterthe hot pepper, or Death himself?

or a humble farmer, harvesting crops?

Smooth answer. Both compelling and rich

@sonic niche Please do not advertise here

[glass nest]

James, can you use your electronics skills to make some drones to come over and wash my van? been putting it off for ages

On that note, I'm going through some of the electronics basics again - mainly how to check if a componant is busted. Resistors and diodes are straightforward, but its the other ones. I have a... I dunno what it's called, but a thing to use for capacitors

[normal fable]

Where you been at Reaper?

[glass nest]

Ferrying the souls of hot pepper eaters across the river styx, I assume

[karmic hill]

which one will be better?

[naive violet]

ESR meter usually, but measuring components on-circuit is hard

[rapid merlin]

limbo?!

why?

[glass nest]

If it was easy, everyone would do it 😄

[naive violet]

I'm gonna be real with you. Just buy a cheap PC.

[glass nest]

Just for troubleshooting, y'know

[naive violet]

Hard as in unreliable

[shut hawk]

That would depend on if you wanted ARM or X86, what are you trying to do here?

[naive violet]

Generally you look for shorts

[rapid merlin]

✅

[glass nest]

yah, makes sense

[vocal gale]

Just been busy with life, lots of things going on

How about you?

[normal fable]

Breaking more bones and working a lot.

[naive violet]

A current limited power supply is a useful thing too

[vocal gale]

Can't be doing that

[glass nest]

Thats where I shine! Got one on my workbench

[vocal gale]

You going to defcon this year?

[karmic hill]

just practice little bit. registry etc

[molten sky]

@grim sparrow is advertising in #announcements
should be dealt with swiftly

[glass nest]

only goes up to 5a, so kinda limited, but is enough for what I'd likely be playing with

[normal fable]

I did tell myself that I need to stop getting hurt.. Hopefully I listen this time....

[naive violet]

I'm incredibly disappointed in you

[normal fable]

quite possibly.

[molten sky]

💙

[karmic hill]

and also I like experimenting

[rapid merlin]

what os were you trying to run then?

[karmic hill]

windows 10

[rapid merlin]

u shouldn't use windows on limbo

first rule broken

use winlator

[vocal gale]

Nice! Hopefully it's a blast this year with the new venue

[normal fable]

I hope so. 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I've never been to defcon or any events

[karmic hill]

tthat also needs qcow2 file to run ?

[rapid merlin]

I wish I could tho

[normal fable]

No matter what it'll be fun.

[rapid merlin]

nope

it's not a vm

but it's kinda like an emulator that uses wine

way better optimized that limbo's windows 10/11

there is actually a way to run a KVM on a phone like an actual KVM on a phone

tho it only works on google tensor chips

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blazing granite]

@normal fable How are you?

[karmic hill]

let's try winlator

[rapid merlin]

try it

and search for good settings

[karmic hill]

and see how it works

[rapid merlin]

what phone are you currently using?

[karmic hill]

I guess I need to download the obb file also

[rapid merlin]

for it

[rapid merlin]

yup

[karmic hill]

redmi note 7

[normal fable]

Other than my wrist aching slightly, I'm doing well. Yourself?

[karmic hill]

4 gb ram

[rapid merlin]

are u using a custom rom

[blazing granite]

doing some network reviewing

[rapid merlin]

or any modification to clock speeds of the cpu

[normal fable]

I'm studying up for boating. Gotta have a cert to operate a boat in WA now..

Hey,
Any Updates On Filtering Rooms? (Filter Out Completed I Mean)

[karmic hill]

[rapid merlin]

please never tweak clock speed unless u know what ur doing okay?

[karmic hill]

by the way where r u from ?

[rapid merlin]

germany

[karmic hill]

I see, there are lots of users of try hack me from Germany

Is cyber sec a popular subject in your country?

[rapid merlin]

im probably not like them tho

they're probably way more experienced than i am

but that's alright, cuz there's always room for my stomach improvement.

😂

[karmic hill]

you're new to cyber sec?

[rapid merlin]

not really new, but im not really like the type of person to thoroughly learn it intensively

[rapid merlin]

because i go to a computer science school and they teach me enough so ye

[rapid merlin]

install anyway

[karmic hill]

looks like it contains malware

[chilly veldt]

Germany 👀

[rapid merlin]

nope false positive

Stop trying to do all this on a phone

[sand trench]

considering what shadow has been doing today their brain is no worky either

It's not a realistic goal

[rapid merlin]

that seems rather pessimistic 😦

[naive violet]

Welcome to the real world

It's not pessimism, it's realism

[rapid merlin]

i know where ur coming from, but trying something out ain't bad?

4 GB RAM ain't cutting it

that's for sure

but windows on a phone is realistic

[naive violet]

I've seen every step of this journey

[rapid merlin]
