Long weekend

For a cybersec conference

[loud marlin]

[sick lance]

Oh. Which one..

[chilly veldt]

Midnight Sun

[sick lance]

I may know somebody speaking.

[oak mantle]

Might be my brain not braining

that's fair

[chilly veldt]

So I don't blame me

[whole yew]

good luck with that situation

[chilly veldt]

I couldn't handle how snappy I got, so I got back to smoking

Only 1-2 cigs a day

[oak mantle]

one of our brains did and it might be mine

[boreal scarab]

[whole yew]

nicotine withdrawal will do that

almost everyone i know who tries to quit smoking, snus, or chew, has to take a week off to let the edge bleed off

[normal fable]

I tried to quit.. but then I quit quitting.. 😦

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Monday, and I'll ask if I can get screened for adhd and autism so I can get proper meds

[whole yew]

I used to smoke - I quit when cigs hit $2.50/pack. I thought ti was getting too expensive

[chilly veldt]

Yeahhh, it really is

It costs 57dkk here

[normal fable]

100% horrible. Nobody should ever start smoking/chewing/vaping/etc. I wish I never had.

this was 1998 or 99

[chilly veldt]

But hopefully I can get Ritalin or something like that

[pine stratus]

you can get it by going to a pharmacy?

[chilly veldt]

If you have prescription yes

[oak mantle]

ok, I found when I thought you said it and im definitly the one whose brian been doing werid stuff

[chilly veldt]

Oh btw @oak mantle how's the energy drink situation in Sweden?

Am I able to just go buy a monster?

[oak mantle]

bad unless you want something supercommon. which one is your poison?

[chilly veldt]

Or is it like your alcohol 🤣

[pine stratus]

idk why but energetic drinks / coffee do nothing to me

[oak mantle]

<.<

[wide marten]

Don't hesitate to ask.

[chilly veldt]

So I am able to go to the local stores and get a monster energy drink?

[oak mantle]

regular monster, yes

[chilly veldt]

Good

[normal fable]

I used to drink like 6 monsters a day.. until they made my chest feel funny...

[chilly veldt]

Otherwise I can't focus at the conference lmao

[oak mantle]

but if you use self checkout or look young you will get IDed

[oak mantle]

it didnt stop me

[chilly veldt]

I am fully tattoed, I don't think I'll get ID'ed

[oak mantle]

aight

I get IDed when I buy alcohol O.o

[night elbow]

Thank you so much for your time.

[chilly veldt]

That's cause you guys are weird

[oak mantle]

lmao

[wide marten]

What's the drinking age in Sweden?

legally I mean

[chilly veldt]

Idk, all I know is that they have regulated it so you can only buy it at special stores

[oak mantle]

my adhd did a werid thing.. i tried to type in the name and password at the same thing

[chilly veldt]

The gosh dang "alcohol company"

[wide marten]

monopoly, right? 😄

[loud marlin]

once time in lab we extract pure coffeeine. Mother of god...

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, it's directly translated to monopoly/company

[oak mantle]

18 for pub or 3,5% (which is max legal in normal stores). 21 at home or to buy form state monopoly

[normal fable]

That sounds dangerous..

[oak mantle]

GIMME

[chilly veldt]

I can't even buy from the state monopoly 😭😭

[oak mantle]

lmao

[loud marlin]

nop... not for public 🙂

[oak mantle]

21 is not unheard of for pubs

[chilly veldt]

In one month 😦

[normal fable]

My dad worked for a soda manufacturer.. so we know about the dangers of that stuff.. lol

[oak mantle]

13 ish is when swedes tend to start drinking thou

[oak mantle]

they ID you if you look younger than 25

[oak mantle]

im not the public 😮

[chilly veldt]

Good thing I travel with 27+ year Olds

[oak mantle]

ugh.... bad weather outside.. but the last tram home is really early

[oak mantle]

well if you look like you are part of the company they are not allowed to sell to them before youre IDed

not sure how strict they are with that

and if they give alcohol to you that is a crime too

the background for this is actually from gothenburg. the extent of alcoholism used be so bad that a lot of people got paid in alcohol

[loud marlin]

as much i love this community due to fair amount of ppl who is smart and use brain more out of box thinking... im glad that ppl do not know, and do, things that are NSFW... and if some do, i did tell that i will be glad if some ask for advice in area of chemistry...
and coffeeine in clear form is not so smart to take at all

[chilly veldt]

Fair fair, well good thing we get free alcohol from the conference people

[oak mantle]

yea im not too serious

[loud marlin]

how big you are, age, weight,

[loud marlin]

pure... it can be

[oak mantle]

eh, I like my job. I often work past midnight

[buoyant tree]

Some have indicated that after a dose of around 1 g, toxic symptoms begin to manifest, a dose of 2 g requires hospitalization, while higher doses (e.g., typically 5 g or more) could be lethal [27,28,31]. However, some have determined that as little as 3 g could be lethal under certain circumstances [28,31,32].

[normal fable]

A company I worked for in the past had 'nap rooms' where you could go take a quick (sometimes not so quick) nap...

[shadow loom]

Lethal doses of caffeine have been reported at blood concentrations of 80 to 100 micrograms/ml, which can be reached with ingestion of approximately 10 grams or greater.

hexadecimal notation. 0xA == 10d

[pallid lotus]

Does it not annoy you that it's an invalid hex number?

[shadow loom]

No

[pallid lotus]

It's because it looks cool and makes people think we are hackers

[night elbow]

May I ask what is the importance of the hex notation in the context of hacking ?

[chilly veldt]

Bisbbisbbisb

[high mulch]

while you have a terminal open just in case, for extra spice

[pallid lotus]

I mean, forget hacking, it's important for computer science in general

[high mulch]

I wouldn't recommend pre-workout, just take a coffee shot, or tea, and eat proper meals.

my PoV from experience.

[loud marlin]

first... talk to doctor... as in general before of taking anything that is consider stimulans

[night elbow]

Yes I figured it has something to do with representing numbers, just not sure how it ties to hacking / computer science in general.

[sand trench]

eugh 2 days in a row shadow has to be up early.... time to call it a meep moop sleep sloop to the beep boop night

[buoyant tree]

will think about it

[pallid lotus]

It's used as a shorthand for binary. A way to represent base 2 as base 16 -- e.g. 1010 in binary, which is 10 in decimal, can be represented as "A" in hexadecimal.
It's much quicker to say and write 0xA than it is to write 0b1010

[night elbow]

I see, so is it safe to assume we use the hex notation to store things on the hard disk because it takes less space and is easier to write ?

[pallid lotus]

But yes, mathematically speaking it's just a number base, same as any other. Base 2 is important for computers because they can only "think" in true or false. 1 or 0. Base 16 makes more sense to represent Base 2 than Base 10 (decimal) does. It's basically a direct translation between them.

[loud marlin]

and also... try be in shape as in sport shape. health is extra thing that will help body to be in condition. if you heart is in bad shape is not ok to take the things you link. and ofc doctor advice with no exceptions

[devout palm]

The power of electrics

[pallid lotus]

No. Computers don't use it. It's purely for humans.

[shadow loom]

Everything in computers is 1's and 0's, and since working with 8 of those per byte makes sense, base 16 is just a shorthand way of typing 255: FF. Instead of 11111111 or 255

Ahh I see, so just a question, why don't we use hex to represnt ip addresses generally if it is faster to be read and written ?

[normal fable]

I am the sole member of the cult 'moo'

[pallid lotus]

We do... For IPv6

[wide marten]

As was already mentioned, that's not the case. Hexadecimal is purely a representation of numbers that in some cases is easier to read for humans. Examples where you often see it is IPv6 and MAC addresses.

[shadow loom]

I think you can, it's just easier to remember numbers for humans. Ipv6 is in hex

[buoyant tree]

yeah physically I am fine in strength, stamina isn't my strongpoint. Will probably call a doc

[wide marten]

Because the "old" IPv4 addresses are short enough so we don't need that.

[devout palm]

When will IPv4 end?

[tepid furnace]

when the money is there for it

[wide marten]

I predict not within the next decade, probably not even two.

[tepid furnace]

it's much more profitable to sell marked up static ipv4 addresses to big companies :3

[pallid lotus]

No, re-read what you wrote lmao

[night elbow]

Now I am intrigued to try inputting a hex IP into packet tracer and see what would happen

[normal fable]

It will NAT..

[tepid furnace]

rather then give everyone and 60000 of their friends their own ipv6

:p

it's the same question about renewable/ other forms of energy

when the money incentive is there it will happen

[loud marlin]

ask doctor to do blood check. it can show lot's of things

[tepid furnace]

if the money incentive is not there it will not happen

[pallid lotus]

Fun fact. You can actually express IP addresses as large decimal numbers

[wide marten]

If it supports IPv6 nothing will happen. It just works.

[pallid lotus]

Correct, yeah

okay. nini all

I was gonna play some TitanFall2 I got for 4 dollars. But unfortunately this garbo app is just bothersome on so many levels.

Has somebody else experienced this lately?

[night elbow]

From what I understood I was using IPV4 in packet tracer, and I have found a translator for hex-decimal online, so I wannt try inputting a hex ipv4 and not a hex ipv6 and see what would happen

[tepid furnace]

yeah it's called ea software

so if we eliminate the x% then it makes it alot better

[shadow loom]

So guys, what's your favourite weird way of doing (covert) data extraction?

[pallid lotus]

Blocks of 4 bytes make up an IPv4 address.
So 127.0.0.1 is actually stored as 01111111 00000000 00000000 00000001

Ip octet have upper value of 255, so we can assign 1020 words each representing an octet and then have an easier version of mnemonic technique to remember ip addresses, something like, john no eat cat translating to 192.168.1.1 lol.

You're built different..

[chilly veldt]

Ye?

[feral ledge]

Why did it take me back to this screen 😬

[chilly veldt]

Remove your USB drive

And reboot

[feral ledge]

Oh okay

[rapid merlin]

It thinks ur not worthy😂 /j

[feral ledge]

Thank you

[chilly veldt]

I troubleshooted a setting for over an hour today, just to find out it's because I have 2 GPUs and udev went "if 2 GPUs and one is NVIDIA disable Wayland"

[normal fable]

oh dayumm....

[rapid merlin]

2gpus?

[normal fable]

That would thorw me for a loop too.

[rapid merlin]

You host llms?

[chilly veldt]

I reinstalled my whole gnome setup

Cause it broke after I updated core and extra

[normal fable]

Disable nvidia GPU and continue.

[chilly veldt]

Disabled udev and continued

[chilly veldt]

Narh, laptop has built-in gpu in my CPU and a dedicated GPU

[rapid merlin]

Ahhh

Makes sense

[feral ledge]

Fuck I broke my computer

[chilly veldt]

So basically both amd GPU and NVIDIA in one

[chilly veldt]

Lmao

[feral ledge]

When I logged in is shows this

I’m gonna to really end it

[chilly veldt]

Ah yeah, good luck

[rapid merlin]

I had that too, once I tried arch

[normal fable]

wait.. can you set a user's shell to /dev/urandom? 🤔

[rapid merlin]

Never tried it again

[feral ledge]

I’m scared bruh what do I do

[rapid merlin]

Disabled ie. Broken can be a very secure state

[feral ledge]

What

What does that mean

[chilly veldt]

Google sddm kde black screen when logging in

[normal fable]

You're an Arch user now.. You don't ask questions you answer them

[clear jackal]

I mean, there's a mouse on the screen, so it can't be too broken

[feral ledge]

I got the terminal open but idk what to do now I’m scared I want to cry again

[chilly veldt]

No, it's kde not loading properly

Typical problem, google has answers

[clear jackal]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's not broken per say and it's fixable

[chilly veldt]

Yeee

I had exact same thing earlier today when I tried moving over to kde to test Wayland

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

How did you fix it?

[chilly veldt]

I didn't, went back to gnome and uninstalled sddm and kde

[rapid merlin]

[chilly veldt]

Cause I hate how the sddm login looks

[boreal scarab]

Oh no totally not, totally couldn't be me

[rapid merlin]

Very wise

[clear jackal]

First step is to reboot. That fixes a lot of problems

[rapid merlin]

Not this one

[clear jackal]

If it doesn't, reboot again lol

And then start troubleshooting

[chilly veldt]

If it doesn't work, search arch forum

If no arch forum post found, made new

[normal fable]

Someone has an answer on the arch forum for sure. Someonne has had to have had the issue before.

[chilly veldt]

Then fix issue and close post with "done"

Without disclosing how

And then update the wiki

[clear jackal]

And then get talked down to because "how can you possibly not know how to fix xyz"

[chilly veldt]

Yup🤣

Welcome to the land of arches

[normal fable]

6 months later "Oh no.. I forgot to document how I fixed this in the past..."

[chilly veldt]

Small hills you you gotta walk over

[terse edge]

I stay away from Arch and any distro that makes you do things manually so much

[chilly veldt]

Eh, skill issue

(I am joking)

[terse edge]

Been on Linux since the 90s. I did all that. I no longer have a desire to do things. I need a system that works.

I use Ubuntu LTS.

[chilly veldt]

I wanna go over to nixos

[normal fable]

Last time I tried to use Ubuntu, it didn't work out very well for me.. or the computer...

[rapid merlin]

Gg. What was the solution?

[terse edge]

If you're new, wanting to learn, sure. But I'm tired of having to maintain Linux over more than two decades.

[feral ledge]

I did sudo reboot and at the top left I changed it from Wayland to palsma x

Plasma

[chilly veldt]

Ah, yeah

[wide marten]

Something the "year of the linux desktop" crowd will never get

[chilly veldt]

You probably don't have the kernel settings for Wayland in kde

Set up

[feral ledge]

I’m petrified by this shit

[rapid merlin]

Yeah that looks cool! Especially in combination with hyprland

[chilly veldt]

I would look into setting up Wayland though, some stuff are way smoother

But other things can't run on Wayland

[terse edge]

Right now, I'm stuck because I like KDE, but KDE doesn't care about Xmonad users, and my WM is written in Haskell using the Xmonad library. I wrote my own window manager. https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174 I have to basically maintain this patch now for KDE plasmaframework or else Xmonad doesn't work.

This is the last and only thing I am willing to maintain any longer. I used to be a debian contributor, debian maintainer, and I stopped that too. Don't have the time to package things.

[chilly veldt]

So something like xwayland is made, to handle stuff that runs better natively in x11

[terse edge]

KDE does not care about Xmonad users. They actively refused to help fix the issue in their code.

[feral ledge]

Thank you Bella seriously I appreciate it

[clear jackal]

Yeah, I'm making the switch to Linux finally. Initially I was pretty lackadaisical about switching, just doing it for fun, but now recall changed the urgency.

[terse edge]

I can't stand Windows, dude.

[chilly veldt]

Happy to help

[terse edge]

I can't fucking stand OSX either/macOS either.

[clear jackal]

I enjoy it because it just works

[terse edge]

Windows does NOT work.

🙂

[chilly veldt]

Windows 10 does

[terse edge]

Whoever says that is hallcuinationing.

[clear jackal]

You have a right to an opinion

[rapid merlin]

What doesn't it do?

[chilly veldt]

after a couple of months of tweaking

[wide marten]

Weird, i've never in my life had to configure anything deep in the windows internals, edit any config files, compile anything. It does what it's supposed to do.

[terse edge]

Out of the box, windows is lame. Windows + GNU userland and FOSS userland is how you make a working good desktop.

Windows can't bundle things like Linux can.

Anti monopoly laws.

[clear jackal]

I used it because I didn't want to come home from work, dealing with very broken Linux environments, and have to see another broken Linux environment

[devout palm]

I use it because i am lazy

[chilly veldt]

Wanna know why I started my 1+ hour troubleshooting session today?

[terse edge]

Windows lacks anything I want to do. Linux comes with it. Reason being, MS can't bundle everything as it violates anti monopoly laws.

[clear jackal]

Such as?

[terse edge]

Almost anything.

[devout palm]

What do you mean by monopoly laws?

[clear jackal]

You haven't provided anything lol

[terse edge]

This is not something new. This is a known thing in the Windows world.

[normal fable]

What are you even going on about with 0 context?

[rapid merlin]

Also, for businesses Windows is much much better for system administrators. They can manage windows much easier than Linux

[normal fable]

Windows does a good number of things quite well..

[terse edge]

Legally MS can't package and bundle anything extra. You should really google this instead of right out refusing to even consider what is being said because it doesn't match your already collected framework of knowledge.

[wide marten]

In less than 5 minutes from "windows does NOT work" to "windows doesn't come with all the things I would like it to come with", while listing all the manual and time-intensive linux hacks to build one's personal dream system

[normal fable]

Such as??

[chilly veldt]

The thing that started my troubleshooting session was that I lost the ability to do 2 finger swipe on my Firefox to go back and forward in tabs

[terse edge]

I'm not here to argue or to convince you or anything. You can feel free to consider my opinions worthless. Cheers.

[normal fable]

"anything extra" is a quite broad term

[devout palm]

Uhm

[chilly veldt]

Because that's only possible in Wayland 😭😭

[shadow loom]

This HCB guy smoked something. I wanna know what and if samples are legal outside of Netherlands

[chilly veldt]

Birb go to sleep

[terse edge]

I've already addressed that with mentioning anti monopoly laws. If you knew what that was, you wouldn't even ask the question.

[clear jackal]

I don't have any preconceived notions. Claims require evidence and you've been super vague with absolutely everything in this conversation.

[high mulch]

finally got the damn EA desktop app to work properly

[rapid merlin]

You Dutch birb?

[shadow loom]

I was going to, but then I read this mindless acid reflux of a mouth drain unfold

[normal fable]

I live in the US.. yes I know what that is... and I speak legalese..

[shadow loom]

Nah I'm Danish, so I'd need the samples to be legal outside of NL

[chilly veldt]

Smh, smh

[rapid merlin]

Wait what?😂

[terse edge]

No you're absolutely right. No anti monopoly laws exist. MS can bundle every kind of software with their OS...

Sigh. I'm done. Either research or don't. I don't argue with people. ❤️

[chilly veldt]

Wait you ain't in htb any longer?

[rapid merlin]

Ah we are famous because of drugs, I get it

[shadow loom]

Your argument that windows is lame because they can't give you a bundle of software due to valid and important laws is hilarious at best

[terse edge]

To you.

[normal fable]

what law specifically states that they can't bundle software with their operating system? I mean.. they make a lot of other software too..

[shadow loom]

Go hug a fellow arch user

[terse edge]

Sure. If you want to laugh then laugh. What's the problem?

[shadow loom]

Nah I quit that server

[chilly veldt]

Understandable

Have a nice night

[wide marten]

I remember a while back Ubuntu was unable to play the most basic media files out of the box. Had to be installed separately. "Legally MS can't package and bundle anything extra."

[terse edge]

You think you're going to ridicule me and I'm going to change my OS for you? Is that what you think is going to happen?

[shadow loom]

If you got twitter I can send you my lengthy rant of why I quit it lol

[clear jackal]

Nobody said that I don't think? We're just asking you to explain what you're talking about and provide evidence of the things you're claiming. I don't think anyone is arguing with you either?

[terse edge]

What exactly do you think is going to happen with you trying to convince me otherwise?

Go on.

[chilly veldt]

Same name as everywhere

[terse edge]

I'll wait.

[rapid merlin]

Come on peeps...

Try not to engage in ad hom attacks.

[chilly veldt]

AD is fun though

I love setting up active directory

[terse edge]

Ad hominem should be beneath any respectable man. I see you're not one.

Which is okay.

[rapid merlin]

Hcb for my understanding, what do you mean by bundling software? I'm actually curious

[devout palm]

@shell nova

[mossy river]

?

[boreal scarab]

Went to Dunkin... cop on line, orders coffee and donuts lol

[terse edge]

I mean exactly what I said with anti monopoly laws. MS legally cannot bundle every productivity software with the OS. Linux is FOSS and GNU which is why it can.

Ease of use. Ease of setup. I just can't stand how Windows does anything.

Why are you so bent upon changingin my mind? I hate windows.

Let me hate it.

Done deal.

Moving on.

[shadow loom]

Your lack of intelligence will catch up to you one day no matter how much you try to compensate by learning Latin phrases. 😂

[devout palm]

Ah ok, i was pinging a mod because this isn't going anywhere

[terse edge]

Sure.

Be happy now.

[normal fable]

I am thinking it has to do with some subsection of 15 U.S.C?? antitrust laws?? but I have no clue.

[shadow loom]

If you don't realise the advantages of Windows then yes, you have many more perspectives to learn my friend

[rapid merlin]

To me, setting up windows is easier than arch

[terse edge]

Using. Not setting up.

Ah

But everyone, good night

Argue not with imbeciles lest you become one yourself. If they want to be right... let them be right. 🙂

thx bot

[mossy river]

You were escalating the situation and dealing with it on your own.
In future, please ping a moderator and step away 🙂

[terse edge]

Someone didn't like the fact that I despise windows and have my reasons for it. My reasons were not good enough for them, so they thought it was more appropriate to ridicule me instead of just being like, sure it takes all kinds to make the world spin.

[mossy river]

This doesn't need to go on any longer 🙂
I am sorry that you are upset. If someone ridicules you in future, please stop responding and ping a moderator, they will deal with it:)

[high mulch]

I dislike certain aspects of windows too, but I just move on in life. I guess (?)

[terse edge]

Understood.

Also, one more lesson learned and reinfornced today. Don't share your opinions with people online at all. Someone will always try to fight you about it.

I don't think you input is needed anymore 🙂

[devout palm]

lool

[terse edge]

Is that from GPT?!

😄

[mossy river]

Yes 😁

[terse edge]

You don't need a freaking function, man dude.

🙂

That's why I knew it was GPT

[high mulch]

.container { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; }

[terse edge]

Even that is too much.

[mossy river]

It is a joke 😄

it actually doesn't centre if you run it

[normal fable]

Typical GPT...

[terse edge]

.center { text-align:center; } Then just throw the center class on any element.

[mossy river]

*it offsets by a few pixels on purpose, it should work

[wide marten]

That's called "confirmation bias". ChatGPT even with the old model gives 5 examples of achieving this in different ways, none of them ridiculous as that
Centering a div can be accomplished in several ways depending on the context and the specific requirements (e.g., whether you want to center it horizontally, vertically, or both). Here are a few common methods:

I think Jabba was just being silly lol

for anyone actually curious, I was just joking with the whole question...

You can store options in an array and create an enum so that you don't need a variable for every option

[terse edge]

Well someone mentioned c++ templates.

I've yet to look into them. If it was another language, I'd create my data structure and simply map over them

I literally started C++ like a month and a half ago. I know other langs.

That way I don't have to code 90+ functions, one for each checkbox.

[storm geyser]

While we are at it, anyone good with juniper devices ? I have a question 🥹

[devout palm]

I'd say templates are kinda advanced

[terse edge]

Might as well man.

[devout palm]

It's called metaprogramming

[boreal scarab]

Keyboard function, modifiers, windows.

Then you can bind another key for V

At that point. Just fucking hit windows V

[buoyant tree]

eh I use win + v too much in my workflow

Could keeps hands away from my keyboard for minutes at a time

[boreal scarab]

I think I have it disabled. Do you know if it "opens a program" or something?

[buoyant tree]

nop

shows as a overlay

[boreal scarab]

Hmmm

Was going to say, just have a key to open the "program"

There's hypershift

[buoyant tree]

what's hypershift gonna do in this situation even

[boreal scarab]

Idk, that's what chatGPT is saying

[buoyant tree]

I didn't ask here for some chat gibbidy nonsense

[boreal scarab]

Still looking

I think I'm a razer fan... razer keyboard, mouse pad, mouse, keypad... not headset, the one I had, 0 bass

@buoyant tree Yah, you can macro it if gaming mode is off.

Other than that... I got nothing besides having 2 keys side by side to windows key and v

[clear jackal]

I had to lookup windows + v

Didn't know that was a thing

[boreal scarab]

I didn't know either tbh

[molten sky]

my still-new chess[.]com acct is 11-0 rn due to a handful of people forfeiting and i feel like i'm gonna get nuked by fair play

i need someone to not quit for once and actually win

[clear jackal]

Have you tried PowerToys?

You can remap stuff in there iirc

[boreal scarab]

Should I be insane and setup a macro to do all the hardening for me? 🤔

Ducky script to get the insane speed, record it in synapse macro. Execute on OpenSUSE Terminal

"Couldn't you JUST use the rubber ducky, and not set up a macro?"

Probably. Am I insane? Yes

[clear jackal]

Use Ansible?

Or something like Kickstart on Red Hat to do some initial configuration, I don't know what the equivalent is called

AutoYaST it looks like

[boreal scarab]

Don't got that setup

Also, have never used it

[clear jackal]

Seems like a good learning opportunity

[cosmic pendant]

Alright I just had an insight,

This is fresh off my brain press. @gray sonnet look here.

[gray sonnet]

Yo

[cosmic pendant]

The sooner you get through the valley of despair. (Dunning-Kruger affect), the better off you are

Which is WHY engineering is better than Cyber Sec in school

because it sucks that much more, that valley is shifted left

[gray sonnet]

Aye, hey, my degree is still 30% engineering

Or more I think

[cosmic pendant]

not you explictly

but I wanted you see that

[gray sonnet]

We still have lots of electrical engineering and math lol

[gray sonnet]

Aye, got it

[boreal scarab]

TIL, if you have any updates on your system at all, Lynis will tell you "Hey, you have a vulnerable version on your system"

[buoyant tree]

ONE Of the best ideas I have heard right now

I use my rubber ducky to map it to ctrl v

so smart

[boreal scarab]

[buoyant tree]

And every time I need the shortcut I plug it in

[boreal scarab]

Vs hitting windows V

[buoyant tree]

Well I didn't say I was that smart

Although am stubborn to find a fix

[buoyant tree]

THANK YOU

huh weird a new window popped up with this

oh wait it's windows shift v instead of win v

[boreal scarab]

Fucking LYNIS!!!!!
"Checking for ARP Monitoring software: RUNNING" good, it's green

Also lynis:

"Arpwatch.service [UNSAFE]"

https://tenor.com/view/breh-gif-20363711

Now it gives me a warning... I can't damn win

[buoyant tree]

what's lynis

[boreal scarab]

Auditing tool

https://cisofy.com/lynis/

[buoyant tree]

hmm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f9tbqSIm-E

Watching this atm

This vid is good

it's a programmmer move

[gritty fern]

Its more efficient i swear

[chilly veldt]

I just write like 2 chars and then press up

[buoyant tree]

I actually don't use up arrow for that, its mapped to my music player so I just gotta type everything out

[boreal scarab]

Choco baby is damn fucking good

(Japanese chocolate candy)

[high mulch]

I thought it was a chocolate baby born out of a big chocolate bar or something

[clear jackal]

So it worked?

[buoyant tree]

somewhat

got access to another toolbar

[boreal scarab]

I hate windows

I have a VM running, wasn't in a save state.... and windows decided to restart for an update while inactive

And of course my VM can't start

https://tenor.com/view/angry-annoyed-bad-vibes-throw-it-whats-going-on-gif-16325118

[chilly veldt]

I hate going through security at the airport

[unreal solar]

Too invasive? or just annoying ?

[boreal scarab]

I broke OpenSUSE!

🥳

[chilly veldt]

Too many people cramped into one place and folks not understanding shit

[unreal solar]

Well ... I Hope you don't get caught up in one of those "airport" TV shows

[chilly veldt]

My ADHD and autism no liky liky

Had to throw out my RedBull too😭

Forgot it was more than 100ml

[unreal solar]

😡

[oak jackal]

You discovered that the login page allows an unlimited number of login attempts without trying to slow down the user or lock the account. What is the category of this security risk?

[unreal solar]

#room-help

[chilly veldt]

That's the second time you've asked the question, where is it from?

[oak jackal]

web application security and this is the first time

[chilly veldt]

Oh, then it was someone else, my bad, go to #room-help as pointed put

[upbeat prawn]

hi

[molten sky]

lmao a guy just called me a cheater caused he resigned and his resignation made my elo go up

[wide marten]

In which game

[molten sky]

chess[.]com

apparently if your rating doesn't stay constant that = hackerman

[wide marten]

You should feel honored having played Kramnik.

[pine stratus]

chess?

what is your rating?

me 1256

[molten sky]

aaaaagaaaaghghh people on this site suck

i'm like 50/50 on people resigning

finish games let me do the thing

[molten sky]

idk just getting back into it after like a year away. never got a proper fide rating but i think my chess[.]com one was either 1400 or 1600 before i nuked the acct

considering getting a proper fide rating once i start working again. probably knock 200 or so off for fide # if i had to guess

[wide marten]

That's good enough to beat like 90% of people who "know how to play chess". Effortlessly.

[molten sky]

how does the knight move

[chilly veldt]

Like it's sacrificing time

[molten sky]

horsey go "horse! horse!"

[wide marten]

Blindfold game anyone?
e4

[devout salmon]

hi you are working somewhere? i need some guidance on certifications

[wide marten]

Why from me specifically? 😮

[pine stratus]

sometimes i play like im 1800 elo , and sometimes i play like 799 😂

[molten sky]

aagghh got flagged

[molten sky]

kp?

e5

[wide marten]

Nf3

[chilly veldt]

I just found out I'll be late for the conference 😭

[wide marten]

Flight canceled?

[molten sky]

nf6

[pine stratus]

i would choose d5

[wide marten]

d4

[chilly veldt]

No, they moved the schedule up one hour

For the conference, so instead of 10 am start, it's 9 am start

[molten sky]

never liked that opening idk why

[chilly veldt]

Didn't see

[pine stratus]

wanna play or not?

[molten sky]

d6? queens pawn only one. i think d6

[wide marten]

Rebook on a flight to London and turn on the live stream. That way you save an hour.

[molten sky]

you mean blind on here?

[devout salmon]

no you have cleared your certification as you mention in your bio

[wide marten]

dxe5

[devout salmon]

i am currently pursuing my certification in sec+

[wide marten]

Yes. I can tell you in Europe comptia is almost worthless, in the US apparently a big deal with the government

[molten sky]

dxe5 right back

i'm about at the end of my remembering the board lol

[pine stratus]

no

[devout salmon]

are you busy?

[wide marten]

Queen takes queen. No more castling for you.

[molten sky]

"no castling? why tf does no queen mean no castling?" then realized

[wide marten]

Trying to visualize a chess game in my head. Kinda

[molten sky]

i'm already losing visuals, lol

Kxd8 then idek where we are

[devout salmon]

ohk

[wide marten]

Bc4

[molten sky]

[molten sky]

🤝

[chilly veldt]

Lmao

I am sitting in the plane right now ready for takeoff

[wide marten]

Save flight!

[molten sky]

[wide marten]

How do I find these? Also the Food channel without the direct link I don't see a way to access it

[unreal solar]

Hover on general, then see all

[molten sky]

don't bother learning how cause discord will change it again next week

[sick lance]

They're in threads.

If you're on mobile click the channel.

If you're on desktop etc It's at the top

[molten sky]

@sick lance where chess bot

[sick lance]

👋

No idea.

[arctic cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-stressed-good-morning-cute-puppy-gif-14724544

[sick lance]

It's Euro day!

[arctic cradle]

we had a huge hailstorm last night here with the size of tomatoes

[sick lance]

Uh...

What sort of tomatoes?

[sick lance]

L

[naive violet]

Yeah big difference between cherry or beefsteak lol

[mossy river]

Honk mimimi

[chilly veldt]

Welp, flying is always interesting...
A passenger on the plane passed out when we took off

[near hawk]

Did a sweepstake at my club got england and France

[sick lance]

I was thinking cherry lol

[rapid merlin]

Hi Guys.

[night elbow]

Hi

[sick lance]

Some hacker, can't even get past the junk mail filter

[sick lance]

Madness!

[shell nova]

lol

well they can try but all my webcams are covered 😉

[sick lance]

Mine too!

Got the little slide.on my laptop

No sticky tape required

[shell nova]

they give them out like candy at cons 🙂

Lenovos have them integrated

[sick lance]

Z books too.

[night elbow]

I am learning about DNS and I want to ask, since cname can resolve to another domain, and an MX record resolves to a mail server's domain, can we use a cname record instead of an MX one to register a mail server ?

[shell nova]

mail clients will look for the MX domain though

[night elbow]

Ah I see, thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @shell nova (current: #12 - 577)

[rapid merlin]

Yay!

Wait this chat is dead today lol

[sick lance]

Aye, it's really quiet.

[near hawk]

Probably mostly because people will watch the euros

[chilly veldt]

My cam cables are pulled out of the laptop itself 🤭

[sick lance]

Not until later.

[near hawk]

Yea, forgot to add the later part 😄

So anyone else do sweepstakes for the euros?

[sick lance]

Nah, you need friends for that

[near hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/lonely-gif-21172649

My prediction for euros groups:

Group A - Germany and Switzerland
Group B - Spain and Italy
Group C - England and Denmark
Group D - Poland and France
Group E - Belgium and Ukraine
Group F - Portgal and Czech

[chilly veldt]

Denmark is qualifying at least 😎

[near hawk]

They did well to get to the semi-final last time
