Sadly it won't do the whole e-sig thing, so still have to separately PGP sign it if I want to do something like that.

It's amazing what a quick doodle chart will do for you.

At work every one of our cubicles is made out of whiteboard.
It almost makes up for being in a cubicle.

Officially WFH 2/5 days now though, which is nice.

[normal fable]

Reminds me.. I need to break out the old analog notebook more often...

[split compass]

I want a remarkable. Really I want BooX to stop being stingy with their GPL compliance requests, but until that happens, ReMarkable.

Hey, so it all comes down to routing.
Well mostly, but if you set up a pfsense VM, it will block/filter whatever you configure it to filter.
You get to define how your network flows, what systems are pointed to the pfSense as next-hop etc.
Don't get hung up on "what will it do" and just think "What do I want to accomplish, how do I MAKE it do."

[crude stump]

Best thing I heard

Thank you

[split compass]

NP.
It's easy to get bogged down by intended use/purpose.
Need to step back, and ask "At the core of it, what is this thing actually doing?"

[normal fable]

And the more important "How can I make it do what I want?" As you said.

Reminds me of the old days when I had to write my own shellcode.. 🤣

[split compass]

If you find it, share please. 😁

[split compass]

I'm going to regret not ordering one more FrameWork module than I did. The Ethernet module sticks out a bit, would be nice to swap it out when I'm not using it.

[normal fable]

The reason I didn't go framework... One of..

[hasty tusk]

what framework did you buy and how is it? i’m thinking of buying one

[split compass]

Framework 16 from Batch 23

I'm pretty happy with it so far, only had it a few weeks. Running on Nobara right now.

I haven't checked how many cats I can hash yet.

[normal fable]

Probably a good few...

[split compass]

I bought my SSD and my RAM separate because I could source them cheaper myself.

[hasty tusk]

it looks good, im gonna buy one, i like there methodology with it

[split compass]

Yeah, you can get equivalent hardware cheaper.
They use Insyde H20 BIOS, which I HATE, mostly because it doesn't expose much.
But people are working on the coreboot project (Slowly)

But I want to support the mission, so used my tax return money towards this and some other nice non-essentials

[normal fable]

I use my tax money on a ASUS A16...

[split compass]

Hmm, also I still have only opened the page for programming my RGB Unicorn Puke macropad, but have not actually done anything with its config yet 😄

[normal fable]

I got similar specs as the framework but a little cheaper. Lol

[split compass]

Yeah, exactly.
This was a specific purchase only because I wanted to support the repairability goals, AND because I like what they did RE: 3d print files when they outmoded their first gen motherboards so people could turn them into low-power home servers.

Also, cool that the BIOS just has a single mode flip you can press to disable all the checks for the connected hardware so it doesn't freak out about not having its laptop periferals.

[normal fable]

Good reasoning. My major concern was with the waste.. but that's just personal stuff I guess. There is a bit of e-waste from everything though...

Did a LOT of research before deciding.

[split compass]

Yep, there is.
And regarding waste, there was one piece of plastic in the packaging, everything else was recyclable tree products.

[normal fable]

Love that.

[split compass]

I should poke some of the hardware and low-level programmer folks at work to learn about BIOS hacking. Maybe I could contribute to the coreboot efforts.

Ah here it was.

anyone help me to solved Task 10 ?

[simple valve]

#room-help or #room-hints if you just need a hint

[rapid merlin]

Is there any kali Linux or Ubuntu experts here?

I need some help. 😪

[simple valve]

state your problem and someone will assist you here (hopefully)

[rapid merlin]

When I’m signed in into my account in kali Linux.

I created some users in terminal

But when I’m in home directory

And I try to cd ( change directory) to a user I created

It says permission denied

I don’t get it

[simple valve]

unless you're root, you wont be able to change directory to another user's home directory

i would suggest learning how linux permissions work

[rapid merlin]

Ok I will learn that. I was just wondering why I couldn’t change it

I was watching networkchuck

[simple valve]

thats not very nice

[rapid merlin]

Hey I’m new. 4 months learning 😅

Just started on Linux rn

[simple valve]

good luck on your learning journey

[rapid merlin]

😂😂😂

Well I’m learning ethically. Not maliciously

[reef mantle]

good luck ^^

[rapid merlin]

Thank you 😎

Where is the very first place your computer would look to find the IP address of a domain?

[worn thorn]

I'd guess the hosts file first before reaching out to the spiderweb of dns resolvers.

[worn thorn]

tried that mouse somewhere else before?

[amber laurel]

Speaking of DNS servers, I had to change the IP of my DNS servers while on my Xbox, so that my internet was faster
I think I changed it to cloudflare, afaik

[brazen cedar]

Yes this happens because some dns servers have domain to ip’s already cached.

[amber laurel]

Could u elaborate?

[brazen cedar]

Some dns servers can have pre-cached domains ( they have the dns connected to the destination ip put together already ). Also some DNS servers might be closer to where you are geographically and be able to take on more load which is why a dns server may give you a faster connection

[amber laurel]

Ahhh ok
Appreciate it

[shadow loom]

im good. i'm almost half-way through my vacation, it's so nice

[gray sonnet]

aye, hope you're having fun 😄

[shadow loom]

yeah for sure, and relaxing..

My work phone ran out of battery and I keep telling myself if I just don't charge it I won't be tempted to read emails

the fomo is real though

[gray sonnet]

looolll

[shadow loom]

only annoying thing is that because i work with things I actually enjoy, I sometimes spend my free-time looking into stuff too

so now I'm like, do I even want to do research now or should I just play games n' stuff

but research is fun

basically I wanna find a way that I can do GitOps on bare-metal machines and also have a centralized view

something like Argo CD but instead of it managing kubernetes pods it manages servers

there's MAAS from the ubuntu guys, but it's not entirely what I wanted

but maybe combining MAAS and Argo CD would be possible

see? lots of fun projects

pissing me off
i got it yesterday maybe it needs time

I run Linux on all devices I own. But my workplace does not really allow me to do to that to their computers. ;)

[eternal garnet]

cz the healthy of the battery is good

so im 100% sure its not bad

[lament tendon]

Hmm, if you are not constantly switching cell grids, it should not use too much power.
Maybe if it does not get better and the expected battery life is much longer you can just return it in a few days.

[eternal garnet]

idk man idfk its stressing me out

im giving it a week

ill use it normally

for the time being

[rapid merlin]

Wanted to go home*

And there you go

[lament tendon]

Well, I want to go home all the time, so that does not count. ;)

[errant fossil]

is it safe to hold important information in apple notes and locking that note or is it better to write it on paper?

[mossy river]

Depends on the important information

I keep sensitive information in apple notes but that’s because it’s convenient

[errant fossil]

could i dm

[mossy river]

Sure

[lament tendon]

I would not recommend storing passwords in apple notes, if that is what you mean.

[errant fossil]

where would you reccomend?

[wooden totem]

I heard Bitwarden is good

[errant fossil]

Could i dm regarding this?

[wooden totem]

I have no experience with it

[errant fossil]

thats alright, its about storing the password

[candid niche]

I store mine in Protonpass, which is a password manager

[errant fossil]

Im using Bitwarden rn might switch when im done with vacation

12.99 sounds good for everthing

[wooden totem]

Pretty sure bitwarden has free version

[errant fossil]

yeah currently using it but proton has multiple services in one

[lament tendon]

Password manager, not apple notes.

Bitwarden is good an open source, Proton has a decent one as well.

I personally use Bitwarden.

[thorn jungle]

i wanna heck

[errant fossil]

Yeah idk why i did not think of this, Proton is what i will switch to

[patent hinge]

BW is very good, but if you want more than a password manager I'd get Proton

I have it, it's very nice

[errant fossil]

Yeah currently looking for vpn and other services and waiting for my student email so its a discount

[thorn jungle]

can anyone tell me a good free hecking course

i have 0 programming knowledge

[lament tendon]

Check out #start-here

[thorn jungle]

those are JS BASICS

[lament tendon]

[mossy river]

TryHackMe is free and requires no cyber knowledge to sign up:)

[stable loom]

Have you read what it says in the chanhnel I send you... ?

[stable loom]

What do I need to do ?

[mossy river]

https://tryhackme.com/paths

[thorn jungle]

yeah

thnx

is everything free?

[mossy river]

Not everything no

There are free rooms and subscriber rooms

[thorn jungle]

oh

i js wanna get started

[lament tendon]

There should be enough free stuff for that.

[thorn jungle]

hmm

[wooden totem]

When you sign up it basically guides you through

[lament tendon]

You can also check out HackTheBox Academy as another resource. Lot's of free stuff there as well.

[thorn jungle]

yeah i am at the first page

[wooden totem]

A bit more advanced

[thorn jungle]

looks legit

[lament tendon]

Academy is just learning resources and very good ones at that.
The main CTF platform challenges are generally more difficult then THM, I agree.

[stable loom]

Hey guys I am unable to download the openVPN configuration file pack on THM for Vmachine, is there another path to download the configuration file

[thorn jungle]

what type of programming knowledge do i need to get started

[lament tendon]

None, really.

But I would personally recommend learning at least Python at some point.

To get started hacking, you don't need to be able to program tho.

[errant fossil]

any good website or course for pyton you reccomend?

[amber laurel]

U just need to learn Unix tho
Hacking is heavily related to Unix CLI language

[lament tendon]

Hmm, no I learned programming through just creating a ton of projects and trouble shooting every issue I had.

Took a few years. xD

I'd recommend just picking a pythno starter tutorial, and programming along.

[amber laurel]

Waittt
So u dint utilise free code camp or w3schools r sth?

[lament tendon]

And whenever you have an idea about automating something, try it! No matter how impossible it may seem.

[errant fossil]

Took to experience route xd

[lament tendon]

Not really.

Started with Java, where I had a book I got from my dad.

And Python and C and Rust and so on I just learned by doing.

[amber laurel]

Oh goodness
Apparently that's the one programming language u shouldnt start off with at ground zero, but instead with python, since it's more legible and in general, just more understandable

But I could be wrong

[lament tendon]

I liked starting with Java, because now I have a pretty good grasp on object oriented programming and also of how programming languages work in general.

Because of strongly typed variables and all that.

Have not used it in ages tho.

I think I'd actually suggest starting out with Java or C#.
Yea, it'll be more difficult to get into it, but you gain a much deeper understanding of what your computer is doing then when you use Python.

'Cus Python just does everything for you (which is honestly very convenient).

[amber laurel]

Goodness me, there r so many ways to start in Cybersecurity
But I'm just working thru THM atm
Realised that I wanna become a red teamer

Defending businesses just ain't it
I wanna attack em 😂

[lament tendon]

That's totally fair.

And yea, I agree with you.

Many things to explore.

[stable loom]

Hey guys I am unable to download the openVPN configuration file pack on THM for Vmachine, is there another path to download the configuration file

[shut hawk]

that's one of the main reasons I got one, productivity 🌟

[dim onyx]

I have a question for everyone, is pentesting well paid?

[shut hawk]

same for my current setup, the left monitor I literally unplugged because it was making static noises all the time and I didn't use it

[boreal gull]

that holds ur monitor up

[shut hawk]

im thinking of putting it on a pile of books

[dim onyx]

Who is working on Pentesting?

[shut hawk]

im too tall for my desk

[boreal gull]

honestly depends, generally yes but like most jobs not all

[boreal gull]

how tall are u

[dim onyx]

I'm from México and I want to get a job of pentesting

[shut hawk]

200cm

[boreal gull]

lol

[pearl raven]

6ft 7in, giant.

[shut hawk]

[pearl raven]

I'm only 6ft I R MIDGET.

[boreal gull]

u would be 2 feet taller than me

[shut hawk]

you're not even 5'? 💀

[dim onyx]

Are the job in México?

[boreal gull]

its good for physical pentesting because people physically cannot see me

im like a mouse

yes getting certs and/or education on university level helps

depends who you are... I find pentesting boring

[crimson frigate]

Pentesting just seems fun and it's like 5x what I make now (horray for living on the SE where minimum wage is the goal not the Standard)

[sand trench]

pentesting is a lot of report writing

and a bit of hacking and trying to break systems

[chilly veldt]

suzuki sv650s from 99

[tired peak]

lots of various jobs in IT and cyber that would probably pay 5x what you make

you looking for guides on note taking???

[split compass]

Nice, one of my co-workers when we started riding in '20 was on the same model, newer year.

It seems to me that pentesting is like .5% of the jobs within cyber, its a huge world out there to explore

note takeing app... obsidian or some other less cool 🙂

[sand trench]

digital or physical??? if physical shadow dunno how to help

[crimson frigate]

I'm making pentesting my focus but I do wanna learn as much as I can.

[split compass]

Knowledge in more areas can only make a pen test smoother. 👍

[pearl raven]

eeew ssl

tls 1.3 better

[shut hawk]

😂

[split compass]

Penetration tests will have various different scopes.

Sometimes it's just a specific IP, or web app, sometimes it's any digital surface (everything the Internet touches.)
Sometimes it's the people too (phishing, vishing, smishing)
Sometimes it's the building itself. So you may be able to go on-site, set up discrete access points, connect systems to unused ethernet access ports, gain access to their server room, etc.

[loud marlin]

btw @sand trench ever try hyperland thing window manager ?

[sand trench]

would you look at that

[crimson frigate]

The internet is a truly terrifying place. I thought all of that was a part of being pentester so long as it was within the ROE. I kinda figured it would be a job by job basis if it was strictly physical or digital.

[loud marlin]

i might try that hyperland. watched some vids. looks kinda ok

[sand trench]

go for it but leave your current window manager or desktop environment installed

[loud marlin]

ill try on old laptop...

[sand trench]

nvidia gpu or amd gpu??? or no gpu???

[split compass]

All of it can be included. Teams will often have folks with different specialties.

So it's good to have an understanding of many areas, but It's okay to not be an expert in all of them

[boreal scarab]

Just cleared like 100 boxes out of my way to make room for my chair to wheel through

[loud marlin]

nvidia

[sand trench]

nvidia is kinda spotty on wayland shadow has heard

ubuntu budgie and nvida for me works perfect. the latest ubuntu

So far I'm learning that passwords are easy to hack. Thank MFC lol.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @split compass (current: #56 - 125)

[sand trench]

well a good password is hard to hack if it is hashed and salted

[split compass]

I'm in Nobara Linux right now with AMD in graphics and system. (Kde plasma Wayland)

[sand trench]

but for that to be easy people use password managers

[crimson frigate]

Forgive all the stupid questions I'll be asking while I'm here. What is hahed and salted

[gray sonnet]

Ram where

[split compass]

When you're commuting, checkout vlogs and podcasts by Deviant Ollam(core group) and Jack Rhysider (darknet diaries.)

Both have some great Pentesting stories

[loud marlin]

oooh... one min lol heh

[crimson frigate]

More podcasts for the collection. Which is good I just caught up in my most recent one.

[sand trench]

hashing is a mathimatical formula that takes one input and produces a unique output for said input so that if a single bit changes the hash changes..... it can not be reversed

for passwords the website you are trying to login to hashes what you put in the password field and compares it to their stored hash
if they match you get logged in
if they don't it throws an error

salts are there for if 2 users have the same password and the hash database leaks you want them to look different
so you add a random string to be hashed together with the password

[crimson frigate]

Interesting. I'm beginning to realize Ive never put much thought to the "how" things work. Just accepted that they did.

For my practical understand, is this the same as when I'm on say google and it tryed to suggest a password that's usually a complete strong if nonsense no one would ever be capable of remembering, or is that not the same?

[gray sonnet]

Yeee

[crimson frigate]

Bro I can't type today

[sand trench]

that would be a password manager built into google chrome.... but kinda different

[crimson frigate]

I'm must absorb more knowledge, however learning regulations is mind numbing.

Is there paths on the site that covers this type of information or did you gain this just from being in the field already?

Tbh I'm not even sure I started with the right path. I didn't the introduction thing and then went to the CompTIA pentest path just bc I'm trying to enroll in CompTIA sec and net+ through the army. Figured I could use this too.

[loud marlin]

added some things...

[gray sonnet]

Ooh fancy 👀

[crimson frigate]

One day I'll see this and know what's happening.

[slow helm]

what kinda OS is that

[split compass]

[crimson frigate]

I recognize all that. Just not why it looks the way it does.

screw colleges

[pearl raven]

For why?

I mean I don't disagree, for profit education is a joke (in the US).

[split compass]

Wouldn't it be great if we would just recognize: This person has 10+ years in field, they can teach what they do.
then we all just push the mentor/apprentice model?

[tired peak]

because people can be shit mentors, because it takes a lot of work. When you do mentor/apprentice, basically you are paying 1 very expensive person to teach 1 other person stuff... companies rather have it so that the person goes out and earns on their onwn and then comes to them when they know stuff already

[gray sonnet]

I underwent some treatment for my liver, which put me in some debt, and uni starts this year, I went to the uni today, spent all day just going around buildings talking to so many different people to ask for an extension for paying the tuition...they didn't grant that, all they care about is fucking money

and yes, the education system here is also a HUGE joke

especially when you see what's happening with exams like NEET(google NEET 2024 scandal and what NEET is)

[split compass]

Which doesn't seem to work any better.
I'm constantly fixing issues of people with more education and or experience.

[sand trench]

YAY

[pearl raven]

Ah I see I'm sorry to hear about your medical issues. That's a lot to deal with on top of the university fucking you.

so it will be auto-checked ?

I feel most easy certs are just book knowledge, like read the book and take the test.

[chilly veldt]

if you press publish it'll be checked through once it's in the queue and is one of the ones that will be gone through, the document I linked talks better about the process

[tired peak]

all those 0days after all

[split pasture]

i was confused since you dont have a pfp

@sick lance @tired peak can please any of you give me acces to the no acces room since i am currently creating a room

[hazy pivot]

Hey, there is a spammer / scammer in the ***-help and support channels

[tired peak]

got it, also you can tag a mod in the channel

[hazy pivot]

Thank you :) for some reason I can’t @ moderators, maybe because the role starts with an emoji?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @tired peak (current: #15 - 495)

[chilly veldt]

oh, usually just ping an individual

[hazy pivot]

Alright thanks, didn’t know if it was accepted or not, it’s pretty intrusive in a way

[tired peak]

yeah you can ping mods about mod type stuff

or ping Jabba, think he gets paid by the ping 🤣

[crude stump]

Guess we ain’t pinging jabba

[hazy pivot]

I’ll make sure I ping him every time I see him online lol

[crude stump]

Fabulous

He would loved that

[tired peak]

paid by THM that is, he is an official employee

[sick lance]

Yeah, I catch some people out.

[hazy pivot]

I’ll pay him with my respect towards cleaning the community from scammers lol

[tired peak]

ping scrubz cuz he has no PFP

[split pasture]

do i need to post the room first then it gets accepted for me to get access to the no access?

[crude stump]

@sick lance where’s your pfp

[hazy pivot]

scrubz is perma role playing nmap -sS

[hazy pivot]

Transparent PNG

[crude stump]

Yes

[hazy pivot]

I recall he sent it once

[wooden totem]

you can also make your name invisible

[twin ridge]

➕ Gave the role Creators-Lounge to plaetorius

➖ Removed the role Creators-Lounge from plaetorius

➕ Gave the role Creators-Lounge to lightetc

[split pasture]

Thank you!!!

[wooden totem]

whatcu doing

[sick lance]

There, right person this time.

[split pasture]

I appreciate it!!

[tired peak]

Scrubz was doing wizardry

[wooden totem]

the first letter isnt even the same how did you miss

[crude stump]

Tell me about it

[boreal scarab]

FINNALY DONE

[sick lance]

Because when you can give roles on mobile, you get a pop up of names from most recent posters.

[boreal scarab]

Took 3 hours to enroll 50 devices

I need a drink

[sick lance]

I clicked the wrong name, that's all.

[boreal scarab]

Unboxing and updating is a PITA

[hazy pivot]

I got promoted for a split second 🥲

[sick lance]

@outer ruin

[gray sonnet]

promoted to what?

[tired peak]

nah, added to a room

[hazy pivot]

it’s still privesc.

I became a creator for like, 1/2 second

[split pasture]

it was more like 5-7 seconds

[buoyant tree]

eh use it at home

[agile flicker]

Yo

I need help

Fast

So

My pc has bee stuck updating for the past 30 mins without any percentage, and the wifi is good

What do I do

I cant turn it off

[worn thorn]

wait some more. sometimes windows do be stupid.

[silent sparrow]

Windows ?

[agile flicker]

Yes

What happends if I were to turn it off?

[silent sparrow]

You are cooked

[silent sparrow]

Roasted by Microsoft

[agile flicker]

Nah but fr

Would my pc fry

[silent sparrow]

If your pc could speak it would have cursed you for getting windows os

[agile flicker]

bro

[still eagle]

sus

[agile flicker]

U sure?

[still eagle]

this is very sus

[silent sparrow]

There's nothing we can do about it ..wait for sometime

[agile flicker]

crazy

[silent sparrow]

💀💀

[mossy river]

It could corrupt your drive

[agile flicker]

How badly

[worn thorn]

windows reinstall badly

[agile flicker]

😭😭

[mossy river]

Any form of corruption usually isn’t advised

[still eagle]

windows IS bad

[agile flicker]

Should I just wait more?

[mossy river]

Give it 1-2 hours before turning it off

[agile flicker]

Alright

[silent sparrow]

It sucks

[agile flicker]

What do you use?

[mossy river]

Windows is fine

[silent sparrow]

Linux

[agile flicker]

Why

Isn't it hard

[mossy river]

There’s a ton of issues on Linux, you’re just accustomed to fixing them

[agile flicker]

Like very

[silent sparrow]

Nah not that hard ...

Get your hands onto it and you will be familiar

[agile flicker]

After that? Will it still be corrupted?

[mossy river]

It could just be taking a while

[agile flicker]

It literally has no percentage shown at all

[mossy river]

Percentages are more for user feedback, they don’t necessarily mean nothing is happening

[agile flicker]

Could some updates be so long?

I swear its been 30 minutes

[mossy river]

It should say on the screen “this may take a while, do not turn off your pc” right?

[silent sparrow]

Bruh it can take hours ..too but usually 30-50 mins

[agile flicker]

Yeah

Wait

[mossy river]

30 minutes isn’t exactly an incredibly long amount of time and it all depends on your hardware

[agile flicker]

It says "Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on"

[silent sparrow]

Daaammm

[agile flicker]

Am I cooked or sum

[mossy river]

Nah

[silent sparrow]

Low flame

Not that much

[agile flicker]

It never takes this long

[mossy river]

Every update is different

And hardware gets slower over time

[agile flicker]

Alright....

[silent sparrow]

Btw what is your hardware specification ?

[agile flicker]

I got a RTX 3060

And a uh...

[lament mantle]

A lot of people dunk on Java, but Java is basically user-friendly C++. You just have to avoid "enterprise" Java, with all of it's XML, ant/maven, and Net Beans, etc.

[agile flicker]

Yeah i cant remember the other stuff

[silent sparrow]

Bruhhh. ..💀💀💀

[agile flicker]

What

[silent sparrow]

No worries your update will be fine

[swift kite]

Hello hackers

[shut hawk]

i wouldnt

what are you trying to learn?

[swift kite]

Speaking of learning. I want to learn Rust

[gray sonnet]

40$ A MONTH????

wow

[sand trench]

wee woo wee woo

[sage wolf]

Ngl, the $40 is not worth it imo

[shut hawk]

for what purpose? cyber?

[silent sparrow]

Quite complex but cool

[sage wolf]

I took it before and I could've learned just as much if I just watched any youtube video

[swift kite]

I heard its memory safe

[sage wolf]

In my opinion I would say it's not worth it, just do freecodecamp, it'll teach you just as much

If for cyber, there are some programming-related rooms in THM. Though I'm not sure if you need to be a subscriber

[silent sparrow]

For now explore

[shut hawk]

I'd suggest just hopping directly on tryhackme, it's 100% beginner friendly

[lament tendon]

It really is not.

[silent sparrow]

Don't spend dollars if you want to explore...learn it from open sources and Practice it

[lament mantle]

Do you have an example of where C++ is easier/simpler than Java? Have you written both C++ and Java?

[lament tendon]

I have written both, yes.
The reason I am saying C++ is not even close to Java is the difference in how these languages are compiled, what they can do and how they work under tho hood.

[sage wolf]

I feel like Java is strictly more OOP, C++ you can optionally do functional. They both have their own compilers entirely

[lament tendon]

I would also not claim that C++ syntax is more difficult then Java syntax.

[lament tendon]

C++ is also compiled into a binary directly while Java is only compiled into bytecode and then interpreted.

These two languages work very differently.

[sand trench]

C ++
++

[buoyant tree]

Shadow, other parts arrived?

[lament tendon]

C# is compiled into bytecode and then the posrtions of it that are used during runtime are compiled again and cached.
More complicated, but a bit fancier then what Java does.

[sand trench]

nope but some will arrive in 18 mins

c# == microsoft java

or c++ ++

[buoyant tree]

then how many parts will be remaining?

[sand trench]

gpu
cpu

[sage wolf]

but if C++ ++ then does that mean java is C's grandchild?

[sand trench]

and ram

i.e it is power supply and motherboard today

[lament tendon]

C# > Java

[sand trench]

hahahahahahaa nope

[lament tendon]

Hahaha yes.

[sand trench]

both suck heavily

[lament tendon]

Naa, I like C# for Windows dev stuff.

[sand trench]

C# is not as cross compatible as java

[lament tendon]

Would never use C# or Java on Unix.

[sand trench]

^ which is a huge problem a lot

[cedar robin]

That's going to ruffle some feathers lmao

[lament tendon]

I know.

Time to watch all the funny discussions.

[devout palm]

C++ > C#

[cedar robin]

Good, I like you 👍

[still eagle]

sus

[devout palm]

Hi bit.

[sand trench]

punch cards are the best programming language ever invented

[lament tendon]

Heyo Heap.

Hows cattheflag going?

The shortened the CTF duration.

It ends in like 24 hours now.

[devout palm]

Fine, i solved the game

[lament tendon]

I hate that game.

Still no clue about what to do.

[devout palm]

Almost got the other one too

[lament tendon]

Solved like 7 challenges in the meantime tho.

[cedar robin]

Sound's like a Boomer LOL

[lament tendon]

Unfortunately my teammate just kinda dipped, so here I am...

[devout palm]

Very interesting CTF

[sand trench]

complain tablets made of clay that complain about shitty quality copper is the peak of human writing

[boreal scarab]

Anyone know of a device that has 10 USB C Male connectors into 1 USB A Female? Speed up my enrollment 10 fold when I plug in a rubber ducky

[lament tendon]

What.

[still eagle]

i am sussy boy
