general

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite I took it in 2001 and it was 140minutes

[blazing granite]

new version is 120 minutes

[rapid merlin]

they changed some things with the new exam

[blazing granite]

To earn your CCNA certification, you must pass the 200-301 CCNA exam. This 120-minute exam tests

[rapid merlin]

I don't have a question count on my report though, but I'm sure it was around 100 and something

[blazing granite]

from the the cisco website

[rapid merlin]

they updated the exam at the end of last year, you were saying that it used to be 60 questions in 90 minutes, I'm just saying it wasn't

[jagged otter]

what os is everyone running?

[blazing granite]

200-301 CCNA v1.1 goes online on 19th August 2024

[rapid merlin]

I did the v1.0

[jagged otter]

yeah i could go into ccna but i don't want to work networking

[rapid merlin]

CCNA is useful for all IT @jagged otter it's a really good course to do

[jagged otter]

so is A+ but some don't like it

[blazing granite]

With CCNA you get great foundation of networks which would help you in any IT role

[jagged otter]

CCNA is almost as boring as A+

but i understand what you're saying

[rapid merlin]

I think time is a limited resource, if you have no computing/tech knowledge then I think A+ is brilliant. I don't think getting the A+ to tick a box is a good thing, better to study something that pushes you

[coarse moth]

@jagged otter That was what I recommended a few weeks ago.

[blazing granite]

A+ is a pretty basic stuff so you may find it boring, but CCNA is not boring at all

[coarse moth]

Packet tracer is goat for learning

[rapid merlin]

@coarse moth GNS3 is really good for network sims

[jagged otter]

I know, ill be taking classes like advanced networking but I really don't want to work in networking

[rapid merlin]

who doesn't like networking 😂

[jagged otter]

network security design, computer forensics things like that

[blazing granite]

you don't have to work on networking if you don't want to, but a good understanding of networking will get you far on cybersec 🙂

[jagged otter]

oh i'll train in it for sure

im open to all of it

i did some ccna stuff in labs

[rapid merlin]

@jagged otter juniper run a CCNA equivalent course and if you finish their course material and pass the exam voucher test you get 75% off the exam

[jagged otter]

using switches, routers

[jagged otter]

that's really cool

[rapid merlin]

makes it a lot cheaper

[jagged otter]

also they get you in an internship

that might lead to a job

hell i dunno

[rapid merlin]

would you recommend cpts over say pnpt?

since they have the same price

okey

i just found out HTB is primarily based in greece (headquarters in UK) and I'm from greece so I think HR will know it

I didn't know it

i was looking at the cert and saw the ceo had a greek name

[blazing granite]

you can do the juniper, but you'll stumble upon with cisco gear everywhere, because is a leader in the market, juniper no so much.

[rapid merlin]

ok ty for the recommendation I'll do that one

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @fervent meteor (current: #170 - 40)

[jagged otter]

thankyou @jagged otter

can't do myself

[sand trench]

FUUUCK

[jagged otter]

pg

[sand trench]

shadow got a random headache

[blazing granite]

@jagged otter you're not the first who tried 😂 😛

[rapid merlin]

The reason I mentioned it as it's a cheap cert for someone that doesn't want to become a network engineer, but provides all the foundational material

[sand trench]

;-; just as they were about to start that nice game time in the middle of the night

[jagged otter]

we need a unrated room with are you 18+

[sand trench]

to get in pick your age in this drop down menu but oops it is all unix time

[blazing granite]

I know that exist, but I don't recommended because I don't know how good/comprehensive is

[rapid merlin]

who can do a little check for me? isnt it intended that with the "download task files" button it should download files? Not open an image in your browser lol

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/ohsint

[jagged otter]

oh so (left for unrated words) then

[rapid merlin]

Else i'll report it in room bugs

[sand trench]

well the file for that room is an image

sooo probably partly intended

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but I think it shouldn't open in the browser

But download download

xd

[sand trench]

anyways shadow is gonna abort game time and go sleep to hopefully clear the nasty headache that denied shadows game time

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite they're really good. We've just moved to juniper FW, the rest of our setup is cisco with a small mix of other vendors. So we've all been getting up to speed with juniper. The documentation and learning materials are really good, and they are a solid company.

[sand trench]

so meep moop to the beep boop for the sleep sloop

[rapid merlin]

Sleep well :)

[jagged otter]

i might go in class and sit by the most miss thang and rip one and look at her funny and move to another desk

say "all you had to do is ask me to move, that was uncalled for

sometimes i just need to do things like that to break the mundane

this is the desciption of the 1st ccna class This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and computer networks. The principles of IP addressing and fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of the course, you will be able to build simple LANS, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes. This class will help prepare students for the the CCNA exam, it is the first of a three part series.

[rapid merlin]

I've noticed in the UK universities are doing this @jagged otter , they'll use the CCNA material for learning, but you don't get the CCNA from it

[jagged otter]

yeah

[rapid merlin]

you'd think that you'd also get the exam out of it

[jagged otter]

as much as it cost, yeah

mine isn't free

[rapid merlin]

I think it's £10,000/yr for tuition now, so you'd expect to get the exam as well

[jagged otter]

the exam and with someone giving you a back massage

it's all good.

[blazing granite]

the exam itself cost 300 USD

[jagged otter]

that's not much at all

i spent that much at a restaurant

[gritty fern]

Expensive ass restaurant

[jagged otter]

yup some cajun restaurants are

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite I think if you're using CCNA syllabus, that's already saving the university from having to create it's own. That saving should be passed on to the student in the exam fee. Plus for institutions that buy vouchers in bulk they're discounted

[coarse moth]

pelase be more respectfull in this server

[gritty fern]

How is that disrespectful at all

Ok buddy

[mossy river]

[gritty fern]

Jabba what does jabba.sh do

[mossy river]

Doesn’t come across that way :)

[mossy river]

That’s my discord username

[gritty fern]

Yes but what would it do

Just an arbitrary question

As a joke

[buoyant tree]

@mossy river Why did you change your pfp

[coarse moth]

in the worst case sorry for helping community

[buoyant tree]

I can't recognize you...

[gritty fern]

Yeah i didnt realize that was Jabba at first either

[mossy river]

it's my brain

[blazing granite]

@buoyant tree 👋 how are you?

[rapid merlin]

Any experienced hacker out there ? I want to recover a pass of an email, Lost the phone in which I had during an accident.

[mossy river]

You need to contact the service. Hacking another service without permission is illegal.

[blazing granite]

contact support of the email company

[coarse moth]

surely he lost the phone

[rapid merlin]

💀 no it's my email

[gritty fern]

We still cant help you

[rapid merlin]

What should I do then? I'm fucked rn

[gritty fern]

Contact what GNU and Jabba said

[blazing granite]

as you been told contact support of the email company 🙂

[buoyant tree]

beyond tired

any suggestions

[coarse moth]

contact support and do not seek help for illegal activities

[gritty fern]

Ultra-tired

[blazing granite]

sleep would be a good starting point 😂

[buoyant tree]

sleep not option

[rapid merlin]

I have been begging the Google support still there ain't any reply

[gritty fern]

Then i guess you lost the phone, we wont help with illegal activities

[rapid merlin]

damn. Sorry for wasting your time. ✌️

aye @boreal scarab I've got a copilot laptop

wanna do any testing

[boreal scarab]

Did they stop that desktop screenshot ai crap?

[buoyant tree]

recall's been recalled

I can't even find it in settings

The button functions as a windows button

And the only reference of it on the laptop via the search bar is a ghost result of setting's changing how copilot looks on taskbar

[boreal scarab]

Yay but boooooo

Wanted to see if it sent network traffic anywhere when it was taking a screenshot

[buoyant tree]

yah

I got the laptop for 2 bucks

Surprisingly

[molten solar]

So i have this account. ID reports uid=0 .. but the whole drive is basically unwritable/readable

[finite basalt]

[finite basalt]

what's this on? could it be bound to somewhere else or potentially be chattr'd

[blazing granite]

they announced the recall a while back. It was total recall 😂

[buoyant tree]

stop with the old people jokes /s.

Eh but one of the funniest stories of this year

Recall got recalled

[blazing granite]

recall was probably one of the worst microsoft ideas, and a huge security risk

[buoyant tree]

they were even storing it in plaintext

watched john hammond's vid on that

[rapid merlin]

I moved from a Linux engineer, to a network engineer. So my windows-fu has always been weak. But it seems I wasn't missing much

[blazing granite]

you never miss much with windows 😂

[rapid merlin]

AD has been kicking my bum to learn, it's always been one of them things I knew about but had a windows admin to deal with @blazing granite

[pearl raven]

https://tenor.com/view/arnold-schwarzenegger-total-recall-gif-15259623396388038758

[blazing granite]

AD is not that hard

[pearl raven]

No, it's really not, you can learn a good chunk of it with some VM's at home. Where it gets to be a pain is GPO, depending on your companies policies of course...

[blazing granite]

they mix azure nowadays to revamp ad 😂

[pearl raven]

lol

[rapid merlin]

I got an offer to do my eCPPT for £100, so I thought why not. This has brought me down the security path. This is more of a fun thing. It's turning it more of a time sink than I thought

[pearl raven]

I think you meant "Entra" COUGH AD

[rapid merlin]

@pearl raven sorry, "Entra" lol

[coarse moth]

someone from staff active?

[mossy river]

Hm?

[buoyant tree]

It's just boring

boring boring boring boring boring

[brittle lynx]

Hey guys. I have a general question about hacking. Is there such thing as "Too Much Enumeration?"

Do you guys think that if I am enumerating my target for days before I start attacking the vectors I found -- is that too long?

Because I am in my earling box-doing stages, and I want to enumerate absolutely everything, and organize everything into my notes. Perhaps after many boxes, I will be able to further understand what I dont have to spend time enumerating...

What do u think?

[coarse moth]

There is a bug in a room and I wanted to report it

[mossy river]

#room-bugs

[blazing granite]

is there any microsoft fun stuff? 😂 😛

[rapid merlin]

Microsoft documentation is actually really good, can't knock them for that

I'll never forget the Ballmer "Cancer" comment

[blazing granite]

I'll never forget Bill Gates in Comdex giving a speech about the great virtues of windows and plug and play, when he plugged a scanner and got a big fat BSOD I'm still laughing about that 😂

We used to call it plug and pray 😂

[buoyant tree]

Windows phone

[rapid merlin]

Windows has hindered computing for so many years. IBM owning redhat I think might have the same impact on Linux

[blazing granite]

it was the release of windows 98 if I'm not mistaken

[blazing granite]

Microsoft even try Unix and it was a complete failure too 😂

they had a version called Xenix

[rapid merlin]

microsoft unix was before it's windows os

[buoyant tree]

Rex, remind me what you do for work again

[rapid merlin]

my first 386 had windows 3.1

[blazing granite]

nowadays tech support 🙂

[buoyant tree]

oh k

Uh mind if I dm

[blazing granite]

we open a DM a while ago 🙂

[buoyant tree]

oh yeah I forgot

brain not working at 100% due to being so tired

Just gonna put this here for yall to contemplate

[rapid merlin]

So much hate on the matrix, but I loved it. This was my teenage years movie

was it, I just thought it was a great movie. Trinity in latex as a teenager lol

[buoyant tree]

There's hate on the matrix?

[rapid merlin]

A lot of ppl hate on the sequals @buoyant tree

[buoyant tree]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-gif-19616595

[buoyant tree]

That's fair but don't you dare hate the first one

[rapid merlin]

I didn't like the new one, but the original was epic, and the sequels we really good movies

animatrix was awesome as well

@fervent meteor that always seemed retrospective, as they both became trans

[buoyant tree]

I haven't watched that

[rapid merlin]

regardless, fantastic movie

@buoyant tree fills in bits of the movies

[karmic dove]

any good labs to practice ejptv2 ?

[mossy river]

No, that is unethical and against our community rules

[upbeat spoke]

sorry

i didnt know

[karmic dove]

?

[buoyant tree]

Ping KyootyBella

She's done it

[pearl raven]

https://security.ine.com/certifications/ejpt-certification/

I think that's the one?

[karmic dove]

yup

[boreal scarab]

2 bucks.....

[jagged otter]

2 dollars

[rapid merlin]

I've found the INE material lacking

[buoyant tree]

A student sold his off to me for 2 bucks

The weirdest thing that happened to me ever

[rapid merlin]

INE have fantastic networking content, but the security stuff isn't great

sorry to bother again I have one last question if you don't mind, should I do the courses from TCM (I can complete all of them in one month subscription) even though I'm going after the HTB certs (I saw they have one for advanced web attack I want that too)

[buoyant tree]

@boreal scarab This is something you are a prime candidate for https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1eqxvo3/any_ideas_how_i_could_make_something_like_this/

[rapid merlin]

PC master race

THM and HTB seem the best learning content for security

which one is that?

[pearl raven]

I can say that TCM's content is good, but I hate learning by watching, I prefer to learn by doing.

I haven't tried any of their newer stuff yet, so I can't comment on that.

[rapid merlin]

ah np

@pearl raven agree watched some of the stuff on yt, I haven't got a subscription, but they also seem good

[blazing granite]

@boreal scarab are you back home or you still in hanging out in Vegas?

[buoyant tree]

Think he's back home since he was on a flight with uncharged headphones a day ago

[blazing granite]

Once you're in Vegas it's hard to leave Vegas 😂 that's why I'm asking

[buoyant tree]

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

[blazing granite]

unless it's an STD 😂 😛

[buoyant tree]

eh

[rapid merlin]

i think you need a little bit of all worlds, I don't like reading books but you'll always learn something new from a few good ones like https://www.amazon.com/Web-Application-Hackers-Handbook-Exploiting/dp/1118026470 and https://www.amazon.com/Web-Application-Security-Exploitation-Countermeasures/dp/1098143930

but it is time consuming

[pearl raven]

For sure, I don't mind using my time like that though. As long as I'm learning.

[rapid merlin]

@rapid merlin total opposite, I love reading books

[molten sky]

Parrot's twitter account has it's location set as 'behind you'

[rapid merlin]

i like laying back and watching videos

usually I'm good at memorizing so lack of hand's on practice is not a big deal for me

[pearl raven]

@molten sky https://tenor.com/view/peekaboo-loro-parrot-bird-gif-13601759

lol

[brittle lynx]

Hey guys. Can anyone recommend an actual automation tool for XSS? Because I couldn't find any good or working one...

[rapid merlin]

@rapid merlin I find video learning misses a lot, I do use both, but books ftw

[boreal scarab]

GIB SETUP

[boreal scarab]

Wipe that crap out

Brand new OS, look that laptop over

[candid light]

nice parrot

[pearl raven]

lol

[molten sky]

someone visit parrot sec's website for me and lmk if it's dead

if i ever get a parrot i'll teach him l33t sp34k so he can be cool like us here in the server

[boreal scarab]

WHY KILL PARROT

[pearl raven]

I'm riding the struggle bus, but it loaded.

[molten sky]

oh wtf

it works in chromium

[blazing granite]

curiosity, no wait that was the cat 😂

[rapid merlin]

it works on my computer lol

[molten sky]

i wonder if that's why it's always been inconsistent for me.

[candid light]

are you using firefox ?

[molten sky]

werd af

yeah

only website that's done this

[blazing granite]

Firefox FTW!!!

[candid light]

firefox can be weird with a lot of different webpages

i've had issues logging into my different schools' student portals for example

[blazing granite]

I guess Jay is typing his autobiography 😂

[primal yoke]

I've never found one that's a viable replacement for good old manual testing, XSS is notoriously hard to automate. There's some that can compliment manual testing well like DOM Invader and domloggerpp.

[rapid merlin]

I do hate web

[candid light]

anybody tried the Arc browser here ?

[rapid merlin]

@fervent meteor the attack surface is huge

[blazing granite]

only windows AFAIK so no

[rapid merlin]

not heard of the Arc browser? Is it an independent browser?

[coarse moth]

and is the easier

[rapid merlin]

looking forward to the alpha of ladybird browser

[blazing granite]

it looks like a huge bug 😉 😂 😛

[candid light]

they've released a mac version

and iOS

[blazing granite]

I use Linux

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite it's still in beta, give it time. We need more competition in the browser space

[candid light]

it's a browser that's trying to be different by doing vertical tabs and removing bookmarks and instead doing something that's 'more clever'

i haven't tried it yet but i've been curious about it

[candid light]

what distro

[blazing granite]

even in its release version will be a bug, just look at the name 😛

[rapid merlin]

lol

[blazing granite]

nowadays Kubuntu becuase I have a weird laptop and kubuntu gives me hardware support for all of it, but I used many.

[rapid merlin]

the story behind it is really nice, the guy was an addict and washed out. And he started to build this browser as a way to stay sober @blazing granite

[blazing granite]

Long time Linux user, I use it before it was cool 😂

[candid light]

that's cool. i'm not a full-on linux user yet but i've enjoyed dabbling in it

i miss my pc set up. it's a little harder to virtualize on macbooks

[coarse moth]

what was your first linux distro that you try?

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite I've run linux since 2009, never looked back

[candid light]

what made you try linux the first time you did, film ?

[coarse moth]

what was your first linux distro that you try?

[tired peak]

I'm pretty sure linux was cool when it first came out

cool-ish

[coarse moth]

what was your first linux distro that you try?

[tired peak]

slackware

[candid light]

computers were cool when they first came out

they're still kinda cool, sometimes

[tired peak]

cool-ish

[rapid merlin]

@coarse moth ubuntu

[blazing granite]

the first version of Slackware 🙂

[candid light]

why ?

[tired peak]

GNU and my timeline is the same

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite Slackware is great, I love Patrick is still running it

After all the disro hopping I'm back on fedora

[tired peak]

just means we old GNU

[coarse moth]

my first i tried is fedora and the currently i use

im very new

[blazing granite]

Probably the oldest here 😂

[tired peak]

nah, I don't know about you, I know Tim is older, toaster may be

well I used solaris before I used linux

[blazing granite]

I tried some Unix too, Solaris, SCO, and FreeBSD

[tired peak]

yeah I liked freebsd a lot

I switched to freebsd after slackware, used that for a couple years in college

[coarse moth]

what version

[blazing granite]

LOL version was the best one 😉

[rapid merlin]

I love how everyone knocks buntu, but I's an awesome distro to get ppl into linux

[candid light]

the best way to get ppl into linux = guiless environment straight into vim

[blazing granite]

or the best way to give them a panic attack 😂

[coarse moth]

what is currently your favorite linux distro

[candid light]

i don't have one. i've been using kali linux for thm rooms but haven't had the opportunity to use any tools while on the soc level 1 path

[blazing granite]

Fedora is solid, I'd go back to it, once I change laptops

[molten sky]

Fedora KDE >

[coarse moth]

Fedora KDE >

but is basicly debian

[molten sky]

parrot and kali are not daily drivers and shouldn't be used as such

for daily driving, fedora >

[coarse moth]

yes i mean debian

[candid light]

wdym i use kali only to watch yootoob vidz

[molten sky]

people unironically do

that's the whole reason they stopped shipping as root by default

cause people are dumb

[rapid merlin]

kali shouldn't be on your host machine

some ppl are crazy

[blazing granite]

all people are crazy some more than others 😂

[molten sky]

I did see that they've added a home spin recently...haven't tried it yet though
Not sure how I feel about running it but curious what their goals are with it

[rapid merlin]

It was justifiable back with backtrack as usb pass trough was awful, so for wifi testing yes

[molten sky]

bare metal yes, daily driver no

[candid light]

i'm watching a vid on it rn and it seems to run not on debian stable but on a rolling version

[molten sky]

bare metal burner =/= sarah's laptop in accounting

[molten sky]

yeah, deb sid

aka deb testing

[tired peak]

I'm super paranoid, I don't log into any website on my kali vm

[rapid merlin]

if you have the ability to have a dedicated machine fair one, that's not used for anything else

[tired peak]

because I vpn into htb, thm and others

[rapid merlin]

I'd still use VMs

[molten sky]

eh that's a bit of an extreme imo, but nothing wrong with being over cautious

i don't like using the vpn outside of a vm tho we agree on the vpn part

[blazing granite]

being paranoid will keep you alive on the internet 😂

[tired peak]

I don't think so, its entirely possible your system could get compromised when vpning into hostile networks

[candid light]

it's got vscodium instead of regular vscode

[tired peak]

if I log into anything, its on the host. if kali is your host and you using that to vpn into hostile networks... good luck to you

[molten sky]

oh yeah no it's possible just unlikely
am i gonna not log into "any" account? no. am i going to do my banking while hooked into thm or htb or etc? probably not

more likely than otherwise just not high i mean

[tired peak]

I don't see a reason to log into any account on my vm when I can log into it on my host

[molten sky]

honestly it's pretty rare but sometimes a reason pops up for me

not often though

[tired peak]

you mean vpn to a vpn provider then vpn again on kali?

[molten sky]

only reason i use a (not thm or htb provided) vpn is so i can change my ip if i accidentally piss of a WAF while bounty hunting

don't wanna get my home ip blocked

[tired peak]

only reason I've used a vpn to a vpn provider was to watch regional content on streaming services 🤣

[hot cairn]

just use a VPN to get faster internet

[molten sky]

download more ram moment

[hot cairn]

it does actually work that way sometimes

unironically

[candid light]

relatable

[molten sky]

if you've got some messed up shit going on i guess lol

[hot cairn]

if your ISP has shit peering

[molten sky]

get around deep packet insp

[hot cairn]

but the peering to/from the VPN is better

it can be lower latency/faster

ive seen it a couple times

[molten sky]

i built vpn services professionally
the big name services are mostly a scam

[blazing granite]

interesting take, I haven't thought about that 🙂

[hot cairn]

i just use my own VPN

[rapid merlin]

@fervent meteor turns out htb academy also gives CPE credits for ISC2 u just saved me so much time

ty

[hot cairn]

you gotta have a real shit ISP to have worse peering then a VPN

[molten sky]

I have as well for use while traveling, but more of a means to access internal stuffs

[covert sedge]

ello

[hot cairn]

its 50% that for me too

but like

i just tunnel everything via that when travelling/untrusted areas

like at defcon, my vpn was on 24/7 lol

[molten sky]

oh yeah no it just depends on the situation
like in my case I'm normally just in canada where I can roam or use trusted wifi

if I was in a bad spot then vpn all the way

[hot cairn]

i have my VPN set to auto enabled on any wifi-network thats not my home or my SO's

cause those are the only 2 networks i control

[molten sky]

i just don't use those wifi nets

with unlimited data who cares

[hot cairn]

i tend not to either

[molten sky]

not the same in can tho

[hot cairn]

but like, defcon for example

too many people, too little bw

[molten sky]

phone plans SUCK up in canada

at least in AB

[hot cairn]

i pay $34/month

for unlim data can/us

i debated just going to AT&T

[molten sky]

i don't remember what I was quoted last, but it was pretty horrid
but last I checked was pre covid

[molten sky]

is the US lte/5g or slower after x amt?

Like a lot of plans are 5G for say 15GB then 3g or something

[hot cairn]

50gb

[fair tide]

Hi

[hot cairn]

which i dont touch that high

[molten sky]

that's not bad at all for a roaming limit

actually pretty good

[hot cairn]

AT&T was like

$60/month

for unlimited unlimited data

with free US/Can/Mex roaming with no out-of-country cap

[molten sky]

idek if att was an option where we were at
would've roamed anyways

[blazing granite]

in Israel I paid 14 dollars for 100GB 5G

[hot cairn]

You need a US SSN / Credit

[molten sky]

90% of the time hitting bell or telus

[hot cairn]

Though alot of people resell AT&T lines to canadians

[molten sky]

oh yeah no i mean service location wise

we've had att, but still roamed when in AB

[hot cairn]

@molten sky i also finally semi-agree air canada is shit now

[tired peak]

at&t isn't all that great in the US, depends where you are

verizon tends to have a better network

[hot cairn]

this schedule is making me hate life and air canada

[molten sky]

USD? or whatever isreal's currency is?

[molten sky]

we've had pretty good luck with them historically

[hot cairn]

i roam on AT&T, its not bad

[molten sky]

we never bought into att though we were several acquisition back

[hot cairn]

lotta deadspots in the country though

but idk if thats AT&T or just fields and nothingness

[molten sky]

just normal

[blazing granite]

I made the conversion so was more understandable the currency there is the shekel 🙂

[candid light]

i have metro by tmobile and i have service almost everywhere

[hot cairn]

im on publicmobile atm

[tired peak]

I'm soliciting travel suggestions if anyone has any

[hot cairn]

ok want a brilliant idea?

[tired peak]

sure?

[molten sky]

i remember having to walk out into the hills just to make a phone call while in ab lol
at least there in the prairies and foothills you can do that -- here, you've got straight pinelands and it's a lil more difficult

[hot cairn]

goto skyscanner

select your airport

and "to" anywhere

[molten sky]

14usd for that is pretty great actually

[hot cairn]

and find somewhere that looks cool with cheap flights

[tired peak]

well it isn't a trip anytime soon

but could see where my airport goes to

[coarse moth]

what the sigma

[hot cairn]

theres some cheap flights to FCO im tempted to take

[outer rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-juice-cat-cat-cat-meme-tiktok-moribundmachine-gif-1446978577354982082

[tired peak]

oh Italy is great

so far my list is... Alaska or Japan

but Japan is a long ass flight so maybe not

[hot cairn]

Japan is going to be expensive af

[tired peak]

(I mean I hate to say... money isn't a concern)

[hot cairn]

though same with alaska tbh

[hot cairn]

goto the DPRK!

[blazing granite]

Indeed, Italy always had and will have a special place in my heart. I lived in Rome and Florence 🙂

[candid light]

the currency is a bit devalued now there

[tired peak]

you should see the individual prices of tours and stuff in Alaska, its wild

[blazing granite]

Tokyo, Kyoto two different worlds

[hot cairn]

it was a tad, but then it went up with interest rates causing it to fuck the stocks & alot of people due to FOREX

[tired peak]

korea, both the naughty one and the not naughty one are out

[hot cairn]

Singapore?

Singapore airport is 11/10

[tired peak]

I don't know much about singapore

[blazing granite]

I was there, Okinawa is pretty too

[molten sky]

aight
i'm gonna do a full update
odds I break shit?

[hot cairn]

go tthere and find out 😛

[tired peak]

we will see, that would take a bit more planning

[hot cairn]

if you want another crazy idea

this has been on my bucketlist for a while

https://roundtheworld.staralliance.com/staralliance/en/round-the-world

Around the world ticket

[blazing granite]

NZ and Australia are in my bucket list.

[tired peak]

yeah I'm not that keen on airports/being on planes

[hot cairn]

EU Inter-rail then 😛

i love planes

[tired peak]

I do kind of wanna zee the lil penguins in NZ but NZ is also a long flight

[candid light]

you ever been on a cruise ?

[hot cairn]

cruises seem like crap

id rather fly

[tired peak]

cruises are hit and miss

[candid light]

i've always flown everywhere but i'd like to try a cruise sometime

[hot cairn]

i just sleep + good food

[tired peak]

for alaska, we'd be considering a cruise... stop in vancouver, spend a few days there, hop on cruise

[candid light]

definitely going to pick a good one if i go

[candid light]

this makes sense

[hot cairn]

free food & booze + good sleep

whats not to love

[candid light]

all food and activities onboard would be included in the ticket

[blazing granite]

I've been in a few cruises, there were OK, but no really a fan

[hot cairn]

i just like planes partly too lol

[hot cairn]

plane spotting from the lounge > *

alot of my friends caught a bunch of shit from defcon this year

so many C+ folk

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite my gf has been on crusies with her mum and dad, she loved them

[tired peak]

I had covid a little while ago

[candid light]

which ones were they ?

[hot cairn]

ive somehow™️ never managed to catch it

even travelling during the pandemic

tbh, i felt safe af travelling

literally everyone on the plane had to test 24-48h before

• vaccines the second they where avail

[candid light]

i caught it at the ass end of the pandemic

[hot cairn]

its not over kekw

[candid light]

when things started opening up again and life was returning to normal

[rapid merlin]

Not vaxed and never had it

[hot cairn]

Not really, no

got my vaccines, masked about it

i tested atleast every 2 weeks most of the pandemic, so im 100% certain i never had it

[candid light]

immune or asymptomatic

[blazing granite]

Costa, Royal Caribbean, I've been to a bunch more but I don't remember their names 😂

[rapid merlin]

I worked onsite with beteen 1500-4000 ppl and never got it

that was through covid

[hot cairn]

Latter would show on test

[candid light]

i hear the disney one is really good

[hot cairn]

Asymptomatic would show on test

no?

[rapid merlin]

and had to be tested weekly @hot cairn

[hot cairn]

both my PCR's & the o ther ones where always -

yes

i had to get PCR's very regularly

i travelled alot, and to enter alot of countries you need a PCR with 24-48hr's

[rapid merlin]

Covid was an over blown drama

[hot cairn]

and PCR + quarantine on arrival

[tired peak]

not really, a lot of people died due to it

[hot cairn]

• if we didnt have the measures it'd be alot worse

it would've been worse if we did nothing lol

[tired peak]

in the US, Covid has finally dropped from the top leading cause of death to #10 now

[hot cairn]

i hated taking them

[rapid merlin]

@tired peak alot of ppl die to flu each year

[tired peak]

yes and that is why flu vaccine exists

[hot cairn]

though some places did PCR in the throat and i much prefer that

then the nose

[tired peak]

but the flu is still not a top 10 cause of death

[candid light]

yeah, the nose test sucks

goes too far up

[hot cairn]

did a covid test today and it still sucks just like always

[candid light]

i can still feel the feeling

[hot cairn]

idk how i didnt catch it though

[rapid merlin]

@tired peak a vaccince that has been under huge scrutiny, not cooked up in a few months

[tired peak]

I had long covid, it absolutely sucked, basically 18 months to recover

[blazing granite]

I never did that one, I was at Disney in a hotel inside the compound, it was the contemporary resort, the one that the Disney train (the one that take you to the parks) gets actually inside the hotel 🙂

[hot cairn]

i mean, back in the start of the pandemic when i lived with family - they caught it

and i didnt(PCR Confirmed)

[tired peak]

you mean conspiracy theories? yes lots of those

[rapid merlin]

@tired peak I didn't take it and I'm fine

[candid light]

very nice. Disneyland, correct?

[tired peak]

n=1

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-conspiracy-time-tin-foil-hat-gif-20017112

[hot cairn]

Yeah, who knows

i know my genes are fucked anyways

part of my X chormie went bye bye

[rapid merlin]

tinfoil hat time lol

[hot cairn]

The reason everyone gets vaccines is to protect those who dont

herd theory

I've already had tons of genetic testing 🤷

[rapid merlin]

@tired peak that's not how vaccines work, they protect your immune system not the person next to you

[tired peak]

also a huge reason for vaccines in general is that it helps prevent the spread to those who cannot be vaccinated, so individuals can get it and be fine but that isn't the point. Also viruses mutate so the more people that get a virus, the bigger chance it can mutate into something, much much worse

[blazing granite]

Walt Disney World in Orlando, Disneyland is in LA, I was there too, but I like the Orlando one better

[hot cairn]

eh, c'est la vie

[tired peak]

its called herd immunity, it is exactly how vaccines work

[rapid merlin]

herd immunity is that we all get sick

[tired peak]

no

[eternal timber]

You still act as a carrier even after getting a vaccine

Pretty sure

[hot cairn]

I mean, as someone who is microchipped

getting chipped you know it

Getting another one next week lol

[tired peak]

you can, basically vaccines aren't designed for 100% protection, various vaccines are designed for enough protection that if enough people get it, it prevents the spread in general

[rapid merlin]

heard immunity is the thing that was getting called conspiracy theory

[eternal timber]

Wouldn’t mind if the chips gave me mobile gigabyte connection

[tired peak]

uhh what? no

[hot cairn]

it also reduces the chances of death/severe outcomes

[hot cairn]

googles if i can implant an LTE hotspot

[candid light]

I see. I ask because there's a similar experience with the disneyland resort where the train / monorail can take you inside

[tired peak]

yes exactly

[rapid merlin]

some of lock down was good. It kept the idots in the houses and we got more animals out

[eternal timber]

Lmk how it goes

[hot cairn]

https://tenor.com/UTRd.gif

[hot cairn]

i do ubt you can

[candid light]

i've only been to disneyland several times. i always have a great time

[hot cairn]

you can implant NFC/RFID/Temp Senor/LEDs/Payment Chips though

and magnets

[tired peak]

microbiology and how vaccines work is absolutely fascinating

[candid light]

btw, don't let the cali people hear you say disneyland is in LA, they'll go ape

[hot cairn]

just goto disneyland in florida and CA in the same day

its easy right?

[eternal timber]

Never been

[hot cairn]

visit the statue of liberty while your at it

[candid light]

yeah i'll walk there

easy

[hot cairn]

tbf, its probably possible

[tired peak]

you should see some of our local facebook groups where sometimes people do ask things like "oh I want to do San Francisco and Disneyland in the same day"

[hot cairn]

NY -> FL is like ~2 hours

[blazing granite]

I don't remember in which hotel I was in Disneyland because I was a kid I was with my family, but I remember that was no train passing through the hotel that's for sure, maybe was after I visted 🙂

[hot cairn]

FL -> CA is ~4-5hours

[candid light]

well, do you like any disney related cartoons / shows or movies ?

[hot cairn]

if you time it right, you could

[tired peak]

they are usually talking about driving

[eternal timber]

Not really

[tired peak]

disneyland/disney world are just too crowded

[hot cairn]

yeah true

[eternal timber]

But Disney owns everything now

[tired peak]

(Star Wars is disney related)

[eternal timber]

So probably

[hot cairn]

Travelisms are funny

[tired peak]

but Lilo & Stitch is one of my favorite disney cartoons

[hot cairn]

its always funny to see americans goto EU and not know their CC pin and cant buy anything

[rapid merlin]

My brother takes his kids down to FL Disney land, He told me how expensive it is, crazy

[tired peak]

we don't use cc pins

[hot cairn]

its chip & signature now iirc

[tired peak]

but I've been to europe many times and never had an issue

[candid light]

then you might only like disney california adventure park in anaheim or epcot in orlando

[hot cairn]

afaik mag-stripe is still mostly done

[candid light]

those are more thrilling / interesting

[hot cairn]

some places still try to swipe my card though

even though it doesnt have a mag-strip

[candid light]

other than that no reason to go to disney theme parks if you don't like any of the theming

[eternal timber]

Noted

[hot cairn]

i have 1 CC with a mag-stripe and i need to call to enable it for a max of 2 weeks lol

[candid light]

i did just drive from socal to north texas in abt 2 days

[eternal timber]

Do they have portal doors

[coarse moth]

yes

[blazing granite]

@candid light I'm talking about this that is in the Magic Kingdom area

[candid light]

yes, this is very cool

[hot cairn]

https://tenor.com/b1IQb.gif

[candid light]

[hot cairn]

MONORAIL

[candid light]

and the people mover

[hot cairn]

ive only been on 1 monorail

[blazing granite]

I say mono you say rail 😂

[hot cairn]

the vegas monorail is nice

[candid light]

i don't think i've been on the vegas monorail

[hot cairn]

i dont think so?

[candid light]

i need to go back

[hot cairn]

i think its just an automated metro

similar to the REM

[eternal timber]

I haven’t been to many fun places

[blazing granite]

I haven't been in Vegas for ages need to go back there

[hot cairn]

Thats elevated light rail

[rapid merlin]

we have metro trams in Manchester, they are good

[hot cairn]

not monorail

[hot cairn]

it sucks

[eternal timber]

I’ve never been there once

[hot cairn]

i wish the REM would finish the airport line

the bus to the airport sucks

or $40 uber

got a 6am flight tmmrw i really dont want to deal with the bus at 3am

[rapid merlin]

I feel you @hot cairn

[blazing granite]

I spent some good times in Caesar Palace 🙂

[hot cairn]

LVCC this year was nice tbh

all in one big area

getting there sucks though

and the food is shit & expensive

they also did weird batch-CC processing at the foodcourt

so all charges showed up monday after-con

[blazing granite]

wow, that weird food used to be good and cheap as far as I remember

[hot cairn]

Vegas is super expensive now

its like $30/meal

and fun room inspections looking for travel routers and usb drives

(https://www.reddit.com/r/Defcon/comments/1eritms/the_information_i_saw_about_the_resorts_world/)

[blazing granite]

Food used to be great and cheap so people wouldn't leave the casino 😂

[hot cairn]

Casino food is meh

honestly t he only place i like in Vegas is Texas De Brazil

Brazillian steakhouse

only $60/person

[tired peak]

I like the Wynn restaurants

[hot cairn]

which for all you can eat steak, isnt bad

[tired peak]

also the restaurants inside the Venetian aren't bad

[hot cairn]

the LVCC aint near shit though

[tired peak]

there is a nice little quick middle eastern restaurant I liked

[candid light]

ate there often actually. i can attest to this statement

[tired peak]

also I would take uber to other parts of vegas too

[candid light]

big portions also

[tired peak]

lvcc?

[hot cairn]

Convention center

new dc spot

[tired peak]

oh never been there

conferences I've been to have mostly been at hotels, sometimes multiple hotels

[hot cairn]

https://images.0xem.ma/u/UYXcRq.png

[tired peak]

oh I would've definitely stayed at the Wynn

[blazing granite]

sound like the name is more Spanish than Portuguese, De Brazil is Spanish, Portuguese should be Do Brazil 😂

[candid light]

i wanted to eat at the eiffel tower restaurant in vegas but ran out of time when i was there

[hot cairn]

C'est la vie, c'est francais maintenant

(its french now)

[blazing granite]

I understood, I speak a bit of French 🙂

[hot cairn]

for the rest 😛

i speak more french then i want to

Whats funny is like

[blazing granite]

I studied French for a year before I had to drop out because of work issues

[hot cairn]

i can understand French-French folk better then quebecois-french folk

[candid light]

tabernac

[hot cairn]

misspelled smh

[blazing granite]

but I speak spanish, italian and a bit of catalan so that helps me with the french 🙂

[hot cairn]

i need to put more effort into learning languages

but its hard af

[candid light]

tabarnak

[blazing granite]

I love languages, I speak a bunch, I guess I have a knack for languages

[hot cairn]

Greek & French are the 2 i want to learn

[candid light]

learn greek so you can read the odyssey / illiad in the original greek

[rapid merlin]

I had to work in Toulose, my French is awful. But it's was a fantastic city, great food

[blazing granite]

When I was a teenager I learn some classical Greek, then I pick up some Greek when I was in Greece, just the basic stuff.

French food and wine are great

[candid light]

wine yes, some food is debatable

such as 🐌 for example

[rapid merlin]

my mum did classics @blazing granite , it's a really valuable degree. She can turn her hand to any europen language

[blazing granite]

depends on the region of course and not all the food, but as average you won't be disappointed

[blazing granite]

I learn Latin too 🙂

@candid light not a fan of snails and frogs at all 😂 but French food is so much more than that

[rapid merlin]

French food is fantastic

I have to admit that as an Englishman lol

[blazing granite]

amazing cheeses too

[rapid merlin]

I love the amount of time they spend on eating

[blazing granite]

that's average in Europe, it's not only France

[buoyant tree]

Can't seems like its registered to mobo

[rapid merlin]

England is half an hour and back at it @blazing granite

[candid light]

i love a good croque monsieur, eclair and the various quiches

[blazing granite]

I know I lived in London 🙂

[buoyant tree]

Ah I feel sad and happy at the same time

[rapid merlin]

I left London 2yrs back, great learning experience, but killer of a work life balance @blazing granite

[blazing granite]

Europe, almost everything, Polynesia, a lot of Asia, Africa, and American continent, but number of cities or countries I lost count

[sinful moon]

[buoyant tree]

Why?

[sinful moon]

so I can listen to a lady from 1994 with a crude gif animation show me how CDs work because its fun and nostalgic

[rapid merlin]

Argentina looks beutiful, they have a Welsh town there lol

[sinful moon]

also this used to be our Wikipedia more or less lol

[buoyant tree]

Wasn't that libraries before the advent of the internet

[sinful moon]

Absolutely, but this was the age of multimedia, a whole bookshelf in one CD. OMG!

[blazing granite]

I come here to spent my mum's birthday with her, and to check on my father health, but he's not doing so well so I have to stick around here

[sinful moon]

Totally fair, sorry to hear about your pop but glad you’re able to spend some time with him

[blazing granite]

the biggest welsh community outside Wales actually 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I'm in a simlar situation, my dad isn't well, so I've moved back. Wish you're dad all the best, I know it's hard mate

[sinful moon]

Brazil and Japan have a somewhat similar link

[blazing granite]

in which way Brazil and Japan are similar? 😂

[sinful moon]

Mass immagration of Japanese citizens to Brazil

[rapid merlin]

I'm struggling to find the link between Brazil and Japan lol

[blazing granite]

basic health he's OK, but he started to show signs of dementia

[sinful moon]

There is a very large amount of Japanese expats and their decendants in Brazil

and somewhat reciprocal, there’s Brazilians in Japan. There’s a reason South America and similar music is seen in Japan a disproportionate amount

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite my dad has dementia, and there's only me in the country. It's hard

[sinful moon]

Fantastic video: https://youtu.be/7jTcVpQ-gow

[rapid merlin]

work is hard, explaining time off

[blazing granite]

I didn't know, Argentina received some Japanese migration long time ago, when I was a child the best dry cleaners where actually Japanese. Nowadays there are a lot of Chinese people and they have supermarkets

[sinful moon]

mhmm, there’s massive historical reasons for a lot of this

[still ravine]

hi everyone. nice to meet u. I am newbie

what tech is really great for hack?

[jagged otter]

[jagged otter]

my dad is a riss

[blazing granite]

1920 I guess because of the war

[sinful moon]

It’s supposedly where many Nazis settled in the post war era to avoid extradition, but that didn’t last long

[jagged otter]

hey im logan 🙁

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite did many Germans settle after the war?

[coarse moth]

bro wtf are you saying

[sinful moon]

Yes, but some had to answer for war crimes, such as the individuals who escaped to Brazil and beyond

[jagged otter]

fyi you a rizzlr

[rapid merlin]

boys from brazil lol

[sinful moon]

vast majority got amnesty

[blazing granite]

Like Josef Mengele, he actually lived and died in Brazil Sao Pablo if I'm not mistaken

[sinful moon]

Doesn’t suprise me one bit

I don’t think Brazil had their extradition treaties signed and etc then

aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i think imma stop halfway and move to jr. pentesting

[mossy river]

check the roadman https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities

[sinful moon]

As long as you’re ready sure, but you should be able to breeze through that path like nothing

Not really a “giving up” kinda thing

or worthy of such

[coarse moth]

If you are eager and do not dedicate time to learning, you will end up learning less than if you do it calmly and with structure.

[amber laurel]

ik but like... there's just a horrendously huge amount of topics to look at in the pathway
so im basically just experiencing conflicting thoughts

[sinful moon]

How so?

[still ravine]

I can`t upload file. how to do it?

They all tie together into core infosec concerns

Adolf Eichmann was living in Argentina with a false identity. The Israeli Secret Service found out, they captured him and brought him back to Israel for trial

[sinful moon]

Sounds about right yep

I can see "pre security", "introduction to Cyber Security" etc

@blazing granite read the book when I was at college, don't mess with mossad

[mossy river]

Are you okay?

[buoyant tree]

AI is better at captchas than me

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite Isreal gets a lot of hate, but the six day war, what a win

[sinful moon]

Gotta say Jabba, you are infinitely less intimidating without your snake/lizard avatar lol

I think it’s a positive change even if the avatar isn’t as cool

[buoyant tree]

are you okay?

[sinful moon]

bah I had hoped for base64 for like two seconds, but no luck

[blazing granite]

😂

[grim sparrow]

:mute: tokerj0k3r#0 has been muted.

[mossy river]

...that's Juun 😂

[sinful moon]

Oh heck youre right

fair, Juun still scares me lol

Jabba has always been chill c:

[buoyant tree]

and the human also fails

[sinful moon]

Nothing wrong wrong with Juun either, they just often school me on something I should have known better about and more

[mossy river]

hehehe

[blazing granite]

maybe your next username should be Jabba Chill 😂

[sinful moon]

Oxymoron, Johnny Bravo is already chill, wach-cha

[mossy river]

I currently look like Johnny Bravo

skipping leg day too much

[sinful moon]

lol nice tho

[blazing granite]

That's what I thought the first time I read the username. I wasn't far off then 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I wish I was looking like Johnny Bravo

[sinful moon]

lol I sure don’t, not sure if I’d enjoy that as a guy either but lol

[blazing granite]

indeed

[sinful moon]

If I had to be a guy in classic Cartoon Network universe it would be Samauri Jack lol

[buoyant tree]

Did you rewatch the entire cartoon network after you became a adult or you remember all that from your childhood

[blazing granite]

Astroboy was pretty cool 🙂

[sinful moon]

lol mostly childhood, plenty I watched as an adult as well such as Powerpuff Girls

[buoyant tree]

Mojo

[sinful moon]

Astro-boy Omega Factor on GBA is 10/10, please play it c:

It’s by Treasure, the Gunstar Heroes people

Literally one of the best games on the console

[buoyant tree]

kb or controller or psp

[sinful moon]

jojo

[sinful moon]

Controller or PSP

[buoyant tree]

You ever tried emulating GBA on other consoles

reading about GBA emulation on a PSP

[rapid merlin]

n64 is pretty stable

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/mojo-jojo-ppg-movie-gif-5538638875803272261

[buoyant tree]

One of my favorite villians

[rapid merlin]

xmen was my favourite cartoon of the 90s

[sinful moon]

I’ve done it extensively, it works alright but not very accurate. PSP is getting up there in years and we have better emulation solutions on PC or other platforms

Literally a 20 year old handheld

[solar echo]

Can you guys see what I am playing through my profile?

[sinful moon]

at the time tho it was mind blowing to play the compeditor’s “last gen” handheld on Sony hardware

[buoyant tree]

PSP is quite mindblowing in contrast to the things available at th etime

[buoyant tree]

xmen had a cartoon?

[sinful moon]

Yes, it was pretty great but not groundbreaking

just wait, you gotta hear the freaking intro

[buoyant tree]

xmen or psp

[rapid merlin]

@buoyant tree seriously, it was awesome

[sinful moon]

https://youtu.be/di6DocEkruk?si=7Cg-SmjDttD9hepD

[buoyant tree]

looks cool

Was it ever remastered

or scanned properly

[rapid merlin]

the story was more like an adult storyline

[blazing granite]

Robotech 🙂

[buoyant tree]

huh?

what's robotech now

[rapid merlin]

Robtech was before my time

[sinful moon]

Right up there with this shit: https://youtu.be/shu8CTGgTM0

[blazing granite]

Elizabeth knows 🙂

[sinful moon]

The first cross over episode I ever watched, or cross over anything, was Spider-Man meeting the X-Men on TV lol

[buoyant tree]

oh man this is sick

[blazing granite]

Mazinger Z too

[sinful moon]

I haven’t seen Macross or Marzinger Z but Macross is super high on my list

[buoyant tree]

aren't they different universes

[rapid merlin]

BraveStarr was mine and my brother's favourite

[sinful moon]

I’ve seen Space Battleship Yamato and Gundam 79 and loved them tho

[sinful moon]

no they’re both marvel

glad you enjoy the Spiderman 94 intro tho, it’s freaking rad

[buoyant tree]

yeah but marvel does have a lot of IP's under thier name

[rapid merlin]

Bucky o hare

[blazing granite]

boltron I didn't like that much

[buoyant tree]

this may be the few places where "rad" is actually applicable

[sinful moon]

uh what

[rapid merlin]

Marvel used to be good back in the day

[sinful moon]

Indeed

[rapid merlin]

just slop now

[sinful moon]

Their comics aren’t the same these days

[buoyant tree]

Don't they have like 200 superhero teams under thier belt in comics

and if so why didn't the x-men come in Endgame to help the avengers

[sinful moon]

X-Men during Chris Claremont’s run from 1975-1991 is just 10/10, like no complaints

[blazing granite]

Thundercats, and Silver Hawks

[sinful moon]

I had an absolute blast reading them all

[rapid merlin]

Thudercats is up there with He-Man

[buoyant tree]

I envy you having read so many comics

[sinful moon]

Yeah it was easily hundreds lol

[blazing granite]

He-Man and She-Ra

[sinful moon]

0 regrets tho

[buoyant tree]

I've only read like one comic yet and enjoyed it but I don't really have time to dedicate to comics due to all the other media I'm exploring in my free time

[sinful moon]

If I’m being honest, my favorite creator run in comics ever

[rapid merlin]

MASK was a decent cartoon aswell

[sinful moon]

But not many who would be willing to do like a nearly 30 year gig on a comic

[buoyant tree]

Do you collect physical comics?

[sinful moon]

I used to, not anymore. And besides it was Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels I collected

loose comics are a bit of a pain, but my dad had a ton of them

[buoyant tree]

what's the difference between graphic novels and comics

[rapid merlin]

I'm moving to ebooks, even for my learning books. I have cupboards full of books

[eternal timber]

Have you watch the new Deadpool

[craggy drift]

I collect digital ones

[buoyant tree]

@blazing granite Time to flex

[sinful moon]

fancy and artsy, fartsy. But nah that’s not entirely true. Basically the were designed for a long format initially, vs trade paper backs which are just collections of single comics

[rapid merlin]

@eternal timber deadpool seems the exception, I love Ryan Reynolds

[sinful moon]

No looking back for me personally, freaking love my ebook reader + tablet (for comics)

[buoyant tree]

Oh k like Batman Year one's a collection

[sinful moon]

Yes that’s a Trade Paper Back

[buoyant tree]

Yeah I'm actually considering buying Batman year one

[sinful moon]

it’s formatted as if it’s a graphic novel but that’s just how these things play out

[buoyant tree]

How good is it for a first collect

[buoyant tree]

Difference between trade paperback and graphic novel

[sinful moon]

I’ve explained it several times above 🙃

[blazing granite]

I have loads of both

[sinful moon]

TPB is a collection of comics, Graphic Novel was designed to be long form

[buoyant tree]

Didn't really understand lemme google

[buoyant tree]

Ohhhhhhhhh

[sinful moon]

I just said it again lol

[buoyant tree]

Yeah now I understood

[solar echo]

Whatever bruh.

[gritty fern]

Hello everyone!

[buoyant tree]

Also do you read comics on your kobo or ipad?

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite I think after years of study you pick up a lot. I just found after the last move how difficult having so many was

[buoyant tree]

aye mind sending me a pic now that you're in Argentina of a few shelves of books ya got

Wanna see your at-home library

[sinful moon]

iPad, I don’t have a color Kobo yet, but I’d still probably read them on iPad

If I read more manga that would be reversed

[buoyant tree]

aren't manga and comics the same but just japanese

[solar echo]

Doing horrible.

[sinful moon]

Manga are 97% in black and white

[solar echo]

What about you?

[blazing granite]

I love physical books, but move to digital long time ago because it cost so much to ship books

[sinful moon]

so manga are far easier to display on eink devices

[gritty fern]

Also Manga are read right to left correct?

[solar echo]

Hello bebe.

[sinful moon]

yes

Just like the Japanese language

[solar echo]

Can you see what game I am playing through my profile?

[sinful moon]

(for the most part)

[solar echo]

I am trying to disable it but Discord isn't helping.

[sinful moon]

Yes you’re playing LoL, you can disable it

[solar echo]

I tried like 30 times, it just reconnects automatically.

[buoyant tree]

Just use browser discord

[solar echo]

I also want to flex my music knowledge.

[rapid merlin]

@blazing granite same thinking, I love holding a book, but the hold of the collection is a pain when you have to move. I used to keep a huge section of my books at my parents but that's not going to be possilbe in the future

[blazing granite]

In my apartment here I have a little bit, the rest are distributed some in my mum's house and some in my sister apartment

[gritty fern]

Turn off whatever app you have LoL on in the connections tab im p sure
