Yep.. and already broke windows..

Couldn't get it to recognize drives when booting to USB so am running the Asus cloud recovery now.. for the second time. lol

[blazing granite]

great start 😂

Internal drive not USB drive. 😉

Oh yeah. Highly recommended.. Great way to spend an entire day. 🤣

[umbral bay]

Are these the secret ingredients to an amazing hacking station? 🤔

[normal fable]

I think my problem is I bypassed OOBE and tried to set it up manually.. then broke something. Wouldn't even boot Windows recovery then..

[blazing granite]

nowadays manually is a bad word 😂

[slender scaffold]

Why they leave ;_;

[normal fable]

My cuz and bro still live there. They're probably never leaving. 🙂

[slender scaffold]

If you can afford then yay

[normal fable]

I at least want to go visit my cuz. I miss her a lot. Really cool person.

worst part about cloud recovery.. downloading.. downloading and.. downloading... lol

[slender scaffold]

Set it and take a nap

[worn thorn]

Almost did that. Luckily my friend noticed it before he drove away

[chilly veldt]

Well, one of my phones, I didn't use it this morning cause I got out of bed late, so I was just on auto mode

Even half an hour late for work lmao

[dense sandal]

does anyone tell me the list of vulnerabilities lies under broken acess control ?

[boreal scarab]

True 🤔 I did another print to test another super glue, and no burn bits

Ngl, gorilla glue, for my application, not worth it.

[tidal quartz]

You basically input code in an input and when you unfocus the code executes. There's no api call being made though.

[shut hawk]

Ahh so self XSS

[tidal quartz]

Pretty much

Does this have any risk

Like should i report it

It can be exploited with social engineering but meh

[shut hawk]

Self XSS isn't really taken too seriously, you can try but I don't think they'd accept it

It's only slightly worse than opening the devtools console and pasting the code in there

[brisk tree]

Registering for my first solo ctf

[sick lance]

Which one?

[sick lance]

Is this for TryHackMe?

Thing is though that in the specific application, if the session token is stolen it compromises accounts of the user in a gov platform

[karmic furnace]

Someone needed an opinion?

I have been summoned.

[sick lance]

Nah, I just wanted to ping you for nothing.

Yes, bob damn it,

[karmic furnace]

They're all great certs, whether or not they can get you a role in a job is a different story, you would have more luck than I would due to your geographical location in comparsion to mine.

[brisk tree]

yeah. im not sure. my pen testing internship are saying they want to move me to the main intern group where ill get trained up for certs like the oscp so maybe ill wait to see with that

[karmic furnace]

@sick lance Hm.

ah.

hi uk friends! dont forget to vote today!

[arctic pebble]

Not going to have time 🪦

[worn thorn]

isn't it just foam after it hardens? I don't see strength in that one.

[near hawk]

👀

[boreal gull]

thankfully it is the law that any employer or studies will legally havw to allow you to vote

and also there was postal voting

[arctic pebble]

I’ve registered for postal but not in time for the PCC vote. Work doesn’t allow early finishes, maybe in the corporate world but not construction.

[boreal gull]

no

the law says they will

oh they dont

my bad

oh well, shoulda postal voted 😛

[arctic pebble]

Eh, not too keen on any of the current options for this vote. And working emergency jobs in construction probably overlooks the law, not that it should but you get what I mean, right?

if you wish own/have car yes

Nice nice, I'm thinking about getting one asap

But it's a lil expensive

If the car market wouldn't be hostile I'd already have a license

[glacial lintel]

netsh wlan show profiles

is this considered an ethical hacking?

and

...key=clear

[worn thorn]

think about it

[gray sonnet]

It's not even hacking

[bold dawn]

no, though it can be used in an attack

it only shows the passwords to wifi connections you've joined in the past, meaning you've been given access already

[gloomy shell]

What

[chilly veldt]

I just made coffee lmao

[bold dawn]

now, if you gained access to a device on a network, you could use this in reconnaissance to try and gain more information, see passwords, etc, but in itself, that command does nothing it shouldn't. Hacking is pretty much tricking a computer to do what it shouldn't

[chilly veldt]

I am going to my theory exam this monday for my motorcycle license

[bold dawn]

let me know where I can clarify to make more sense 🙂

[gloomy shell]

Don't look down

@mossy river

Did your alarms go off today?

[chilly veldt]

hah, iphone issue

[mossy river]

Funny you say that

[atomic aurora]

Does anyone know how I can scan a QR code thats made out of binary? It has the 'normal' qr code layout but the graphic is made out of 0's and 1's. I tried scanning it with my phone app but no success.

[sick lance]

Is this for a CTF?

[atomic aurora]

I don't know if it can be classified as one

It's not from THM

There was a QR code on a poster and it asked you to complete little assignments

one of them just gave a field of binary, i found out its a qr code but i can't scan it

[worn thorn]

maybe you need to do something else first before you can scan it.

[sick lance]

You just scan random qr codes?

[atomic aurora]

Good call. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the insight!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @worn thorn (current: #133 - 50)

[atomic aurora]

No, not random

[devout palm]

it asked you to complete little assignments

Basically a challenge

We can't help with that unfortunately

[atomic aurora]

Okok no worries!

[sick lance]

Is it active?

It could be a challenge that is no longer active.

[devout palm]

Ask them

[atomic aurora]

I believe its active yeah, but i will not further discuss the topic. Thanks anyways guys

[sick lance]

That's what I was in the process of doing before you jumped in and pretty much told them we can't help.

That's my point.

[devout palm]

You didn't ask in the first place

[sick lance]

" is this for a CTF?"

was the very first question I asked.

[chilly veldt]

I need a vacation soon

[devout palm]

Now you asked

If it's active or not

[chilly veldt]

he did too here

[devout palm]

While you could ask it in the first place

I'm not arguing or anything else

[sick lance]

Please don't mini-mod, I was in the process of asking them.

[devout palm]

The person said it is active. So we can't help. From now on. I'll ask that before telling them we can't help

[rapid merlin]

DONT MINI MOD DUDE

[devout palm]

Smh

I apologize if i jumped in trying to help

I won't anymore

[bold dawn]

heap, whether you agree or not, it's best to let the moderation team do their job. Arguing about it gets nowhere

[devout palm]

I mean, i do this all the time and noone ever said this was mini-modding

[rapid merlin]

NOW IT IS

[devout palm]

I'm trying my best to follow the rules

[rapid merlin]

I am using Linux As main host
But Not able to Control Fan's Speed
Which Makes My Laptop So Hot n Warm

[rapid merlin]

The easiest way I found on arch with laptop sudo tee'ing controls to the fan in the it's API

[brisk tree]

I'm turning 27 this year which means I'm not too far off 3

[rapid merlin]

U could also try looking in ur bios there might be an option already

[mossy river]

You get 50% off with their subscription

It also comes with a contact plan (with personalised contacts to fit your eyes), free eye tests and a few other stuff

[rapid merlin]

Or try different packages for fan control that work with ur hardware

[mossy river]

This is not an ad I promise

[rapid merlin]

Acer BIOS Don't have option there

Its just in Predator Sense

But It's Only for Windows

[brisk tree]

I did get some money off it and they were ray bans

[sonic dust]

Prepare your joint meds fam

[mossy river]

No wonder they were 300

[mossy river]

https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/687584/predator-helios-16-fan-speed-control-from-linux

I just scrolled down the list of Google responses 🤷‍♂️

My advice? Don’t daily drive linux on your main laptop, run it in a VM

[rapid merlin]

I was about to see Arch, Ubuntu, Kali Linux

If anyone works

[rapid merlin]

Kali as daily???

U alright mate?

[rapid merlin]

Using it from last 4 Month's 😂

[rapid merlin]

ACPI not API my bad but it was a very specific fix and unless you have a Thinkpad with fans that don't work it won't be of any use

[mossy river]

You should not be running Kali Linux as a host

It is not intended to be used as a host, it is not stable

Furthermore, you should never pentest on your host machine

[rapid merlin]

Any Specific Reasons ? I would love to know so i can get proper guidance

[mossy river]

It’s a pentesting OS. The purpose of it is to setup when you need it.

The whole point of kali linux is it comes with every tool so you don’t have to spend the time installing them every time you have an engagement to do

[mossy river]

^

[rapid merlin]

Arch is good, i can't use any distro that's packaged with a desktop environment anymore

Window managers too efficient

[mossy river]

From what I’ve gathered, some pentesting companies require you to have a fresh install for each individual engagement?

Setup a normal OS, install everything you need on it. Create a snapshot.

Every new engagement, create a new snapshot from the base snapshot

Problem solved

[rapid merlin]

I Used Kali as Main Host Because I am currently a Learner..

I have 512Gib as SSD and No HDD

And Software like Browser, Utils these all things was installed twice for no reason cuz i Was not using Windows at all just using it for Opening VM ware

Also it Uses mt resources

😂

[mossy river]

That is the suggested method. You should only perform engagements on a VM.

[rapid merlin]

I'm on a Internship for and We Are Not allowed to use our host for Testing, They Gave us RDP connected to their Network and They have Kali System on it only there we can test

[mossy river]

Exactly 😉

[rapid merlin]

You are Working in Which Donain ?

From Your Experience what OS Should I keep As Main Host

!

[mossy river]

That’s your choice.

Preferably I run Windows because I use a lot of things for work and Uni that requires windows

You can run linux and setup VMs on their if you don’t need or want to use windows

[rapid merlin]

I'm a University Student But From India we don't have Assignments to do from Laptop 😂 We Use Pen and Paper for that

[sick lance]

It worked for somebody else previously.

You're doing it for annual, yeah?

[polar wraith]

oh its annual only

nvm

was doing monthly

[sick lance]

Ah, yeah.

It would make sense not make it monthly, as it can go on for x amount of months, then it can stop, and somebody emails complaining they used to pay £x.

I just saw a steam post from 2013 of a guy saying "I use Windows 8"

[boreal scarab]

Both

But nah

[wild rose]

not even 8.1

[boreal scarab]

Nope, just straight up 8

[wild rose]

hopefully windows 12 won't be a complete disaster

[blazing granite]

My dad had this one in his business

[shut hawk]

there's a 12 coming?

[wild rose]

once 10 is obsolete I'm sure they'll pump out another OS cuz 11's isn't picking up.

[blazing granite]

you have better odds winning the lottery twice 😂

[wild rose]

Fingers crossed as I play this scratcher.

[shut hawk]

mhm but wouldn't they then be splitting up the userbase even further

[blazing granite]

Microsoft does one OK, on disaster, millenium was a disaster, XP was OK, vista disaster, 7 OK, 8 disaster, 10, OK, 11 mid disaster 😂

[wild rose]

I read an article yesterday saying that win11 userbase is decreasing.

[wild rose]

pretty much sums it up

[blazing granite]

People are not updating to 11 or downgrading, that's why Microsoft is thinking in extending windows 10 support but for an annual fee

[wild rose]

smh ewww

I hate that it needs to run at ring 0 so it can spy on everything.

[wooden totem]

Easy anticheat when it has to it's job; 😴
Causing problems with pc; 🤑

[worn thorn]

why not make the game actually good and implement it directly but instead relying on third party solutions.

[sand trench]

easy anticheat is the best as it is not kernel level and works under wine and proton on linux

[boreal scarab]

*Works when it wants to

[wooden totem]

It works if the person that is cheating is a 9 year old

[idle arrow]

Who can I contact if I am already a subscriber but would like to move to annual as soon as possible? Thx in advance

[wooden totem]

I think you can cancel then buy annual

[worn thorn]

backed by epic games. I don't trust anti-cheat solutions.

[idle arrow]

ooo new cyber book has been released

[bold dawn]

Set up an inbox rule to move them to another folder with no notifications, and then only look in that folder when you actually need it? DON'T move to folder based on sender, I would take a string that's in all the emails, that you don't think would come in any other emails

or do "if from sender and contains string ___"

Just like that

[sick lance]

Why do you want to do this?

[young pecan]

i need 2 know if my bro has a twitter because he told me he dont use it ( i know it is a stupid reson)

[sick lance]

You're right, I guess.

Why does it matter? lol.

Let's not promote unethical, and illegal solutions please.

[boreal scarab]

Big brain move? Play War Thunder Mobile on PC? 👀

[young pecan]

he is always acting like he is the big brain guy who dont care about silly things

[strange gazelle]

That was a doubt unrelated to their questions lmao

I just wanted to know if that's possible in a general sense

[floral geyser]

yes, image steganography.

[strange gazelle]

Right but that's limited to text I thought?

Like can I make it run a script when I click the image

[sick lance]

Why are you interested in knowing if it can be done?

[strange gazelle]

Cuz I'm new to the space and I'm really interested in testing out vulnerabilities

[sick lance]

That doesn't sound like you're looking at a vulnerability, that sounds like you're looking to do an attack.

[strange gazelle]

Yes on myself

Honestly dude I don't even wanna do it I just wanna read about it 😂

Honest to god I have a good moral compass

[mossy river]

It's not really a 'vulnerability' per say, it's more of an attack technique

I'd suggest moving to Google because we don't teach that here

[sick lance]

I need to take that at face value.

[strange gazelle]

I understand but don't you need to implement it before you can defend against it in theory(just a noob question)

https://tenor.com/view/peepogiggle-gif-4018305763991603335

no.

[hot current]

actually would utilizing osint to get info about a person without their knowladge be considered unethical? i am genually asking

i mean it is out there info

they put it out there right...

[strange gazelle]

That's not unethical imo

[hot current]

i guess waht you do with said info matters too

[sick lance]

Osint isn't unethical.

What you do with the information will decide which line it crosses.

But we won't be helping with this

[hot current]

makes sense

[hot current]

yes yes

[tidal quartz]

I wont answer completely because I cant but using publicly available resources is not unethical. Unethical can be "marked" the actions you proceed to do with this information

[mossy river]

You are correct. But there you have to ask yourself

• what are you defending against?
• if this was a problem don't you think someone would already have posted a solution?

You have the right mindset.
We also have to ask ourselves questions for questions asked here, such as:

• How would this be used?
• Is there an actual education aspect of this? i.e. teaching it so that it can be defended
• Is the user asking the question a new user or have they been part of the community for a long enough time that we can trust them with this information? (of which you would have access to #advanced-help which this question may be answered, but by that point I'd expect you to know the answer.

[tidal quartz]

@sick lance you said it too well, i must fix my english

Yeah

[sand trench]

no it is unlucky level

as everyone thinks you are good at what you do while you actually suck

[floral geyser]

Ok, thanks. That's definitely going to take a while, lol

[floral geyser]

Uhh, well, I am actually taking notes and make sure I understand the information.

[tidal quartz]

Doesnt need to be a link. Just a sort paragraph informing the user why asking if they can ask a question is not the go-to, helping them receive help faster. Anyways im not defending any side js

the logic in itself is like a no-ending recursion

[floral geyser]

Essentially, taking my time to learn the material properly, and not just speed-rushing it.

[tidal quartz]

Sure, but that doesn't in itself make you good.

[strange gazelle]

Oo level 13.... Fancy!

[tidal quartz]

It's what you should do, but how good do you take notes/learn etc.

[floral geyser]

I try to relate that to how it can affect the real world, I am also prepping for bunch of certs that I plan on taking.

[strange gazelle]

How long dyu think it would take someone to reach there tho. I have pretty advanced Unix and os experience. Im just trying to get into cybersec in general

[normal fable]

Depends on how hard you grind.

Even if you have "advanced" knowledge of unix/linux, I'd still recommend going through all the fundamentals.

[boreal scarab]

[strange gazelle]

What are your opinions on kali. My hot take: it's bloated.

Change my mind

[sick lance]

It's.. bloated?

That's a new one.

[strange gazelle]

I'm comparing it to other distros in general

[floral geyser]

Me personally, it just seems a bit arrogant

[sick lance]

Like what, for example?

[strange gazelle]

I prefer installing the tools rather than them being provided to me

[strange gazelle]

Arch

[sick lance]

Arch ☠️

[strange gazelle]

Lol why

[sick lance]

...But the whole point of Kali having all the tools available...

[floral geyser]

You spend more time configuring the system on arch than kali, kali is so much more user friendly.

[strange gazelle]

You configure it once if you know what you want

[tidal quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/sherlock-benedict-cumberbatch-hat-gif-15943210

[sick lance]

I'd say Arch was more bloated than Kali.

[strange gazelle]

My interest is piqued

[floral geyser]

yeah, and that configuration takes time.

[tidal quartz]

honestly, the average user will not use most of the tools pre installed by kali.

if im not mistaken you can filter them out tho

[sick lance]

You can.

[strange gazelle]

Someone's taken that time to configure it badly on the others for you. I would say it's a good investment

[strange gazelle]

Yes but then what's the point of its existence

[tidal quartz]

if you are able to configure a *nix system to your liking, im sure its not your first one. Then why on earth dont you have a copy of your dotfiles

[strange gazelle]

I would say install debian

[sick lance]

If you don't select it on the installation, it's not there?

[strange gazelle]

Then why Kali tho

[tidal quartz]

Id love to see you prove it

[strange gazelle]

I thot the whole point was having the tools

[sick lance]

Because it's literally a pentesting OS.

[floral geyser]

Unix system?

[strange gazelle]

It's literally debian

[sick lance]

It's still literally a pentesting themed OS.

[strange gazelle]

Kali doesn't use systemd?

[sick lance]

I never said it didn't.

[floral geyser]

Ok, @strange gazelle there is your answer

[grizzled crystal]

I definitely suggest googling instead of asking chatgpt

[sick lance]

Please don't spread around material from ChatGPT that could be confidently wrong.

[strange gazelle]

Dude nahh 😂

[grizzled crystal]

Chatgpt is not a reliable source of information. It's a sentence generator

[strange gazelle]

Ok so leave arch

Take debian

In no way am I trash talking Kali. ( I do at very rare points see its appeal)

[floral geyser]

Wdym bro ChatGPT is 100% reliable

[sick lance]

It's certainly not.

[rapid merlin]

U joking right?

[strange gazelle]

You're a Kali user I presume?

[sick lance]

Yes.

Why waste time using anything else?

[mossy river]

#ubuntu4lyfe

[sick lance]

Kali has everything I need.

[sick lance]

Error: Invalid channel.

[strange gazelle]

Respect that sentiment

Kali should become rolling release

[tidal quartz]

Thats a reddit post 😢

[floral geyser]

Had to use Ubuntu so much back in comp sci bachelors

[tidal quartz]

Im actually on xubuntu rn

[strange gazelle]

Everyone knows that linux = ubuntu 😂

God forbid the day I've to use kubuntu

[rapid merlin]

Wym with bloated😭

[molten sky]

better than gnome/unity/whatever but still canonical :/

[floral geyser]

I mean it’s just another distro under linux

[tidal quartz]

Even gentoo is bloated

[strange gazelle]

Everything's bloated. Go use void

[deft cloak]

I like Arch Linux because, Linux means freedom and I have my own personal touch to my Arch Linux. I am not saying that I use Arch, that just a meme point of view. But literally I learned many things about Linux and operating system by using Arch and Gentoo

[sick lance]

I'm a user of Y, therefore X is bloated.

[molten sky]

btw

[deft cloak]

I like Kali Linux too

[strange gazelle]

Honestly gnome is decent I tried it on debian recently. The one on ubuntu is bleh

[molten sky]

gnome ootb pains me

[deft cloak]

Hyprland is my favourite Desktop Environment.. 🙂

Well you do use arch

[sick lance]

I don't.

[buoyant tree]

I do remember you saying you use arch

[molten sky]

that a problem on hyprland?

[sick lance]

I've used arch, and didn't like it.

And SecurityOnion uses Arch.

Which I deleted now I don't need it for Uni.

[molten sky]

arch was fun while it lasted but i couldn't daily drive it nowadays

[buoyant tree]

h yea u used it reluctantly

[molten sky]

kinda just want to sit down and get to work without tinkering

[deft cloak]

In my opinion, the very best Linux distro I used is Arch and Gentoo followed by Kali, BlackArch

[strange gazelle]

Wayland in general doesn't play as well as X due to the obvious architecture difference

[sick lance]

Even then I used it once or twice.

[deft cloak]

I don't like Ubuntu.. very bad linux distro.

[tidal quartz]

X, in this case kali, is meant to be bloated. What are you arguing here. That it is not?

[molten sky]

wait what? i've been on wayland for a while and it works fine for screensharing, as does every other wayland desktop i've tested

[strange gazelle]

I needed to run it thru an X compatibility layer

[floral geyser]

In what way?

[tidal quartz]

Nobody said that it is a bad thing. It is kali's purpose to be, bloated. It just is

[deft cloak]

oh yeah.. I don't like opensuse too 😅 I don't know why but I don't like it

[strange gazelle]

On what distro? They might have installed underlying software by default

[rapid merlin]

Although weall can agree that hannah montana linux is the best

[tidal quartz]

I was using Arch for the past 5 years, I just switched to xubuntu because I wanted a change.

[tidal quartz]

holy-os

[molten sky]

fedora kde is my main as of late, but i've bounced around quite a bit with ubuntu/debian/alma/rocky/rhel/arch/manjaro/etc and screensharing has never been an issue, even when wayland wasn't the default 🤷‍♂️

[tidal quartz]

Embrace open source

[deft cloak]

For me, Arch Linux + Hyprland Desktop Environment + SDDM Login Manager + GRUB Bootloader = My personal touch.. ^^

[strange gazelle]

Maybe a compositor issue then. I was using sway

the fact that you don't like it, it doesn't mean it's bad, the distro exist for a reason, you don't like it go an use the other thousands distros available. That's one of the good things about Linux, you have options 🙂

[rapid merlin]

How did you install arch + hyprland btw? It gave me a Lil big issue

[deft cloak]

Me and my younger brother have lot of personal repositories so that next time we don't have to do the work again..

[molten sky]

man i love xfce but i hate the out of the box xfce... i need to sit down one day and properly customize it so i can use it again

[strange gazelle]

KDE and gnome have near complete support for Wayland atp

[tidal quartz]

yeah . . .

[molten sky]

haven't tried with sway, that's for sure. I should spin it up and test

[strange gazelle]

Just pacman -S hyprland

[deft cloak]

you don't need to tell this aloud.. lol... it's my personal opinion.. also I don't use it.. Arch and Kali Linux is my main machines mostly.

[strange gazelle]

Ye lol no ways I'm going all minimal and doing gnome again 😂

[rapid merlin]

When arch is already installed? Not by choosing hyprland in the arch installer?

[deft cloak]

Arch + Hyprland is easy.. 😅 Arch support nvidia drivers

[strange gazelle]

Firstly arch installer? No. And yes install arch first and then install packages from the tty

[rapid merlin]

Ahhh

[tidal quartz]

Plus kali gives you these goofy elite haxor bash prompts

[tidal quartz]

NO

[strange gazelle]

Why

[tidal quartz]

Don't use archinstaller 😭

[molten sky]

arch installer feels wrong

[deft cloak]

install, base, base-devel, linux, linux-firmware

[tidal quartz]

Or do [we dont care]

[strange gazelle]

Yes don't

[deft cloak]

pacstrap those things

that's all in Arch

[strange gazelle]

That was my point

[deft cloak]

then later it's personal touch.. 🙂

[strange gazelle]

Plus it's really buggy ask the one time I tried it

[blazing granite]

I don't understand and probably never will the whole arch hype

[strange gazelle]

Install it once...

[deft cloak]

ohh man yeah

[tidal quartz]

Now you cant say "I use arch btw" and get all the hos

[deft cloak]

I remember my first time lol

[blazing granite]

I did, I've been using Linux since probably before you were born 😂

[deft cloak]

I mean installing Arch Linux

[rapid merlin]

😂😂😂

[strange gazelle]

Ooo I wish I was around back then

[sand trench]

caring about bloat is bloat

[strange gazelle]

Golden times

[tidal quartz]

What does that mean

Or, what does that make you

[rapid merlin]

Relax

[blazing granite]

I'm a proud Linux user since 1993 that means 🙂

[strange gazelle]

Shudda realized from that gnu in your handle

[normal fable]

Off and on but I did run Slackware back in '93. 😉

[rapid merlin]

15 years before I was born is insane

[blazing granite]

indeed my first distro was the first ever version of Slackware 🙂

[normal fable]

Man my mom was mad when I replaced Windows with Linux. 🤣

[sand trench]

wants to make a joke that their mothers brain runs linux but dunno how to format it

[tidal quartz]

That's great :)

[strange gazelle]

Man I'll be coming back for more info on this !

[tidal quartz]

Same here. She told me ill mess up the computer

[normal fable]

Slackware was so small back then lol

[sand trench]

would argue that linux was not very good back then

[normal fable]

Oh I messed up the computer a lot. hahaha

[sand trench]

shadow nuked their windows install a few times by trying to theme it

[deft cloak]

GNU/Linux distro have lot of distro I tried PureOS.. it just don't feel like my OS..
GNU/Linux is freedom, so my freedom I found in Arch Linux.
It's installation alone teach me alot which my faculty not able to teach me about operating system, and literally I now understand lot of internal working of Linux because I wanted to.. 😅 that's why Arch Linux is for me.

[devout palm]

TempleOS is the best

and is the most secure

[blazing granite]

everything was small back then, info was carry out on disk 1.4 MB 😂

[sand trench]

go spin up a vm and install linux from scratch to learn even more niche knowledge of how linux works

[deft cloak]

I like that era man... web 1.0 is still my fav era 😅

[buoyant tree]

So instead of having a easy to use software, here's a book with all the commands you need to memorize instead of clicking on a picture

[strange gazelle]

Not a huge secret but that installation too is really abstracted

[normal fable]

Let's see.. Win95 came on 13 1.44mb floppies... dang that was small. lol

[wooden totem]

Never even seen a floppy disk irl

[sand trench]

now shadow wanna install windows 10 from floppies

[normal fable]

o m g.. no. lol

[blazing granite]

gentoo too 🙂

[deft cloak]

yeah Arch and Gentoo is my fav.. ^^

[normal fable]

I actually installed LFS on hardware.. it took a while..

[blazing granite]

see you in 3 years when the process is finish 😉 😂

[sand trench]

would argue that gentoo does not show you the compile options AND explain what they do in as good detail as the linux from scratch book

[buoyant tree]

wait a second seriously

it was that small

[strange gazelle]

Try void ull forget arch then

[normal fable]

I kinda wish I still had the Win95 floppies.. but I'm sure they got overwritten at some point.

[sand trench]

what a sad reality to never having seen a 3d printed save icon

[blazing granite]

I had encarta for windows 3.1 in floppy disks 😂

[floral geyser]

Life revolved around msn and myspace before social media became a thing

[sand trench]

shadow cheated and watched someone else install lfs and read the manual

[strange gazelle]

Man but I really wanna learn the windows shell(as funny as it may sound) atleast for cybersec purposes

[blazing granite]

geocities too 😂

[wooden totem]

Could you even write your own data on floppies

[normal fable]

Ideas for next time.. make someone else do it and watch. 🤣

[sand trench]

yes

[deft cloak]

I started playing games on computer when I was in 3rd class back in 2003.. so my first ever OS is Windows XP SP1. 😅 Played Midtown Madness 🙂

[sand trench]

shadow has some floppies in a box somewhere

[wooden totem]

Oh right the computers were massive back then

[blazing granite]

yes, like any other storage medium,

[sand trench]

crt monitors is something shadow miss

the nice fussiness of touching their screens

[wooden totem]

Indestructible glass

[blazing granite]

My first PC had a 32 MB HD and I felt like I had a NASA supercomputer, most XT didn't have HDs 😂

[normal fable]

I killed a few CRT monitors in one of my tech classes. Had to learn how to discharge and destroy them.

[wild rose]

You've never witnessed when a CRT fails.

[buoyant tree]

Should I fight for democracy or solve a murder right now

[buoyant tree]

I have witnessed one having a hammer thrown at it

[wooden totem]

Solve your own murder

[wild rose]

I just did my part fighting for democracy

[buoyant tree]

DEMOCRACYYYYYYYY

[deft cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith-sw-rot-s-gif-19761348

[wild rose]

[blazing granite]

if somebody throw a hammer at me somebody will solve his murder if I catch him 😂

[wild rose]

[sand trench]

the sound effects of that scene make and break it

[chilly veldt]

Time to 96 hours of pure chaos

[wild rose]

You're like the queen of sound effects. Make your own. Hahaha

[wild rose]

What's pure chaos?

[sand trench]

woof woof swish swosh swish KLANK

[chilly veldt]

[wooden totem]

[rapid merlin]

😂😂

[chilly veldt]

[rapid merlin]

Uhm I hope there aren't Italians watching the chat rn

[sand trench]

[rapid merlin]

[wooden totem]

I don't think unbroken pasta has other uses than being eaten

[chilly veldt]

[molten sky]

[chilly veldt]
