For support
Itās best to keep support public, we have #room-help and #room-hints specifically
İ need talk with moderator
this way everyone can learn from what you may have to ask
It isnt about room
Alright, what sort of issue do you seem to be having with your account?
We can help foward you onto the correct contact
I for sure have some spare routers
yeah just set one to WEP and itāll be trivial
Thanks for your help but only moderator can help me
their own wiki has a great beginnerās guide
Site charge my money twice
I guess you should write an email to support
I wrote
typically anything billing related will need to be passed onto the actual THM staff and not someone at the discord
onesec let me find that email address but I do think itās just their general support one
@rapid merlin
Or contact your bank account to get a refund
They said it is wrong i need talk with anybody
I don't think there is someone in discord that can help you about this
Ohhh
yeah support@tryhackme.com would be most ideal. Just wait. This is the weekend, and theyāll be back on Monday
Okay thank you
Moderators aren't related to the site support
Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @void zodiac (current: #634 - 7)
@void zodiac you ever have a chance to fool around with custom firmware on your routers back in the day? I have experience with dd_wrt and OpenWRT
kinda turned your boring consumer router into a enterprise grade router and I loved it
No, I'm an unexperienced noob
Totally fair, you mentioned however that you have several old ones, may be an interesting thing to see if any support that
But yeah, cracking WEP is already a great but super ez goal, go for it c:
can adapt as needed, back in the day I was additionally using Kismet and more. lol I donāt think this has been updated in a while
but sounds like you have some courses which are advising on aircrack-ng anyways so that works
Admins are though.
You just need promiscuous mode on your wireless device one way or another
Nobody can help on Discord with account and billing issues though
What do you do as a malware student. Just analysing malwares and making anti viruses for it?
Also plenty of videos:) Null byte has a tutorial on it
Not making anti virus.
Writing malware.
but is there an job for it?
Yeah lol, I learned this wireless stuff in the 00s and kinda just updated on my own, good stuff!
That'll be maldev then.
Isnt there a path for that on thm?
For malware specifically? It's more of a super niche
The closest I can think of is a researcher for internal tooling
@sick lance You said you exploit malware and analyse them.
Even for red-team, that is a bit less common having something truely bespoke. I would say malware reversing is even more common, but still niche
Think big red teams, they have their own R&D in creating custom implants and toolings
i understand the malware analysis part and why u can earn money for that
but ion understand how u can earn money ethically with writing malware
Yes, but in don't write anti virus.
I don't*
It's more common to buy research from others and its a working model for some companies and researchers
Basement?
can you write anti viruses tho
Okay, I read the previous convo. Write anti-virus š
To be fair on this scale, providing Yara rules for detection is more effective
Not really no
word
It's 3m above road level at that point
As in making an entire program ?
kinda
I really need a job
McDonalds
hush
Potentially, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel.
gotchu
I really need an InfoSec job.
is it true that people actually got a job with the certificates on thm??
No you don't
No leads here, but potentially try for advise in #cyber-and-careers
As a sole factor, I don't think so
It's not easy, but it's not impossible.
Why?
Im planning to learn as much as possible on thm
The hours are long and everyone hates you
This is true
You'd be relying on networking more.
No one listens to you too unless its a P0 and even then they downplay it
Did anyone win a laptop yet ?
wdym
And then if you have anxiety, you worry about security or more at work even off the job š
I've no problem with hours. I used to work 16hrs at a time. Btw, why hate me? š
Same Iāve answered 432 questions this week
Alert anxiety
I feel
Socialising.
W
Personal DND on all weekend, Iām getting better lol
Had Friday off, good vibes
lol SO had to do Factorio with friends and I was more than happy to take the same day off
Because security is clearly a hindrance to the proper functioning of business*
Did you enjoy Factorio?
*until it hits the fan
But, what has it to do with me, man?
Iāve only played a bit, I havenāt had the time to put into it. But my SO and his friends are going HAM at it as we speak. I can hear him doing VC in the next room lol
SO?
Iāve been playing a bit more Subnautica, Cyberpunk 2077 and just now GTA V (again)
RDR 2?
Significant Other like a fiancƩ
Already played, Iām excited for RDR1 on PC next Tuesday
Mine plays world of Warcraft
part of why I decided to randomly play GTA V again even though itās not my fave
and ah Plague Tale
both
Oh I never heard of that kind of abbreviation
heh he does too but not a much anymore
New one?
It's very Anglo
What do you mean ?
Diablo IV and PokƩmon Go are the only games Iplay
lol I know of that game but why bring it up?
It came out this year
Did you try the hatred vessel or whatever its called edition?
btw on the GTA side yeah Vice City, San Andreas and IV are the best 
IV sucks
Yeah, I play it.
I would be interested to hear your viewpoint
I cant wait to buy the game, i always had a knack to play it.
VC is freaking rad and so is SA. I am all about the 3D era of GTA
What did you think of it so far?
youāre getting too close to the train CJ!
It's good, better than s06.
Shoutout to everyone who played as spongebob in GTA SAN
lol
I never got too much into SA MP or the other one but always looked awesome
Iām all about the singleplayer
I completed D4 s04 I think, and I after beatting echo lillith because they keep recycling the game
lol I need freaking Initial D drift music for this
anyone of you played stronghold
has anyone played supertux
yes lol
stronghold 2 was the best
plz
Still played too
get on my Neopets level
wtf
Club penguin before he became a IT nerd (tux)
or Gaia Online
TUX WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Never got into that
Ever played text based web games?
At least Mohamed is aware, yeah Iām a 90s kid and was with it with 00s services lolol
Yeah I tried it when we had a modem internet which u used to plug in with an usb
Habbo
and some other game si dont remember.
is og
yes
Not so much text based web games but I have played many interactive fiction games
anyone played HACKNET
Yeah lol Iāve seen countless videos on Habbo but never partook back in the day
Most people have no idea what that is
dudes what about Uplink lol
man it was a fun game because it had mini games (habbo)
used to play racing games on it
I.wosh more people played GreyHack
i played it
I wish
Uplink is just a neat āhackingā game from like 2001, one of the inspirations of that genere
i have it
Security can be taken care of with appropriate measures.
greyHack
Its on steam
they went on to do Darwinia and similar
mhmm
but also literally a 2001 game
if you donāt have a CRT consider a UI mod
PCGamingWiki as always has details
And yes that book is freaking lovely
stardewvalley fans?
I refunded that game
I grew up with both Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon so itās perfect, I just sometimes get intimidated at how much I actually have to use the wiki

great book
Farmville
no lol
#greyhack #hackingsimulator #pchackingsim
rey Hack is a massively multiplayer hacking simulator game.
You're a hacker with full freedom to act as you wish on a vast network of procedurally generated computers.
File Explorer, Terminal and Text Editor are some of the programs that will be available from the start of the game. As you improve your...
This game
Fair enough but I do enjoy them being a bit more silly and abstract personally
Whatās it on ?
Assassins creed fans?
Well yeah, but tell that to a manager with deadlines. Security is the first thing on the chopping block
Windows I believe
Uplink and the Matrix Reloaded gameās hacking are kinda perfect for me
But far Iāll keep it on the radar
lol if only we could play that on PC tho, Sony plz
although fair, RPCS3
I'm wrong
Mac , Linux and Windows
Alright, my GTA session was a lost cause after my last autosave, lol, enjoying chilling with you all a bit more
Anyways League of Legends its where its at right now
and yeah not suprised
nope
lol sorry MOBAs are just not my thing personally though so donāt listen to me
I can play later
Too complex and too toxic for most poeple
i played this for a while and it was pretty fun breaching the NPCs. other players devise some pretty clever methods to hack other players which is sometimes "against the game rules"
pretty cool, but pretty small playerbase
I don't think it'll take more than a few days to set up an secure environment while working remote. Work on-site won't have that problem at all. I normally apply to both.
I'm too stupid for this game
there's a tool called Viper that players developed and it makes hacking way too easy. believe in yourself.
of course š
which one is your fav
That's why I'm on THM š
Did you get it for free?
blackflag
assasin creed unity
okie Iāmback
no i bough it
I think it was free when that church was burning down
I bounced off of AC1 hard and didnāt come back to them lol
i really like the first game though
for a reason
AC 1
yes
the missions with all the NPCs that pushed you away and immediately alerted the guards I got pissed at lol
I like it bcz it was in Jerusalem
HOL A SECOND
Assetto Corsa?
Drive.NG tho, but yes I am an Assetto Corsa mod enjoyer
I liked Heatās style but still found it to be a bit āemptyā
Have you ever played RBR?
I agree yes
underground need for speed enjoyers
Rdr2
Burnout was peak
I have not but I am 10/10 all about rally games
I can guide you with installation, if you want to try RBR
a masterpiece
Yh
rdr2 was a fun playthorugh played it 5 times
yeah Iād like to try it out at some point. Although Iām usually just looking at PCGamingWiki for the same fixes and etc youād probably recommend
i could boot the game up and just spend hours existing in it
man i spent 3 years exploring that game
where is @rapid merlin
still more to find
I play back to Colin McCre Rally 1/2.0 up to DiRT Rally 2.0 and whatever the new EA WRC one is
amazing atmosphere.
i played that as well
lmao
sweet c:
cool cool, let see if I actually have that new bookmark feature yet on iOS lol
lol nope
guess thatās still coming soon
to this day people are finding new things and new interactions
AFK
Driving the Subaru WRC 2001 on the Bidno Moorland Reverse stage in Wales. Replay at the end :o)

Do you have a wheel?
Have seen her
I mostly honestly play Euro Truck and America Truck sim and just like chilling out with controller. I would love a wheel setup eventually but I think I shared the size of my bedroom lol
Forza horizon???
also yes, I am a rare US rally enjoyer lol
I literally learn how to rally from scratch, because all my previous techniques were wrong
Euro truck is such a therpuetic playthrough.
yes Forza Horizon is nice
why i get error in ubuntu while using github tools like command not found
I remember the first time I tried RWD type B rally cars in DiRT Rally 1 and holy crap I had to like re-learn how to drive
send error
Taking the slowest class, R1, FWD 130hp and learning to push it as hard as I can
ok
https://youtu.be/pxobrSOkKYA?si=Y6MM6J9HOPGbml6T
Here's my run š
ok
Richards burns rally
i also played it
my brother introuduced me to it
some good stuff
XD
my summer car
Pain in ass for people who aren't into rally
sick game
man i loved it
can i dm u?
I just got the premium version and I am in the Offensive Security Intro. The Start Machine button is gray instead of green and it is not loading though. What do I do?
is it still getting updates? the last time i played the island cabin was basically fledged out
Developing a new game
My winter car
Nice, does seem like you attacked some things pretty darn agressively there but far far from bad form. Was a good watch!
hahaa that's going to be cool
Yeah, but still careful š this game is really unforgiving towards mistakes
Yeah lol, I know this game's reputation and I would have probably played it even more safe than that, but totally fair, you more than pulled through
but yeah this is kinda what I love about rally
constant risk vs reward
and just pure mastery of your veichle and the track
imho I love rally way more than traditional racing. I find this stuff just to be wild, and pushes drivers to the limit. No overtaking, just drive well
Well, the best car is a slow car, as the car is stable and you understand the car's behavior
it's kinda both obvious and silly since this is basically a time trial, but I feel like rally is like the speedruns of the car world. Yeah silly to say bit still kinda fair
And because the car is slow, you try to push it hard and you make less mistakes, search for a better racing like and stuff
Yeah it is far more about handling and etc for sure
Well, rally experience transfers on track racing really good
lol even on normal roads
I learned to drive in a freaking minivan, at worse in deep northern US snow. That kinda experience lets you drive any vehicle in the snow effectively, same sorta deal
o/
Heya c:
I havent played it in a long time
How are you today lads
good and you?
lol doing well myself as a lady
Great, just completed the cyber sec 101, was really hyped for the 1month and 12 month voucher but oh well, next time :/
Ah sorry about that
No worries! lol I need to catch up on a lot of these newer rooms
And you copied mine...
Lol
nicely done regardless
i'm going down the soc 1 path
been doing it for months
They are actually pretty fun, enjoyed all of them, but hand still hurts because I took a lot of notes
I did spend a good two years focused on THM but lol, four years doing infosec professionally, it does get to be harder to justify. But I'd like to get back to it
Go for it, definitely worth it
I am trying my best to catch up with all the new stuff as well and it's really difficult due to irl job and some personal stuff
already learned quite a bit so i would say it's already paid off
mhmm exactly
how many of the tools that are taught on thm would you say are found in SOCs out in the wild?
currently I'm doing the wireshark rooms and i can assume this one's common
That's really amazing š I am doing some SOC tasks as well, been quite stressful lately
Honestly despite me making myself sound imposing, I manage a... managed SOC lol. I'm at a very small business where I'm the sole infosec person. I do use tools that THM has taught me daily just in defense alone like urlscan.io and phishtool.com
- in zombie soundalike
EEEEUUUGUH
Despite us having our own anti-phishing suite, sometimes it is still more valuable to download the original email and still just view it in phishtool.com
Our new phishing suite is kinda sweet, but sometimes mangles the email bodies more than I'd like when just trying to review
Do you still use your notes you made on THM?
so does that mean tools like snort, zeek and brim aren't as useful in your place of work because of the size?
Barely, just what I've learned from it. It's only on the rare occasion I'm doing something offensive
I just don't take notes, that's why I ask
I'd say it really depends on the company and its infrastructure, sometimes setting few tools isn't as easy as it looks like due to some limitations company wise
Oh I did take extensive notes but imho that just helped reenforce my learning

as with chattng with people on here
if you need to teach someone else how to use a skill you know that's great learning
Safe to say I'm never looking at cryptography again
lol
if you're dealing with an unfamiliar software or technique, i'd say just making your own very brief writeup after the room to summarize what you did is good enough
4 hours I've been in the basics and I still hate it.
and that's mainly for retention reasons
OSINT! DO OSINT!
Cryptography is the best crypto.
I love reddit, but then again I hate it. It has all the info that no other place has, but it also has all the bullshit downright disgusting stuff too that no other place has
Yeah just don't make "smart notes" is my only caution, take only enough notes as you need to remind yourself what's up. You don't need a Wikipedia page
Shadow bans and shadow downvoting:/
This is what I do
what i hate most about reddit is some of the commenters that "are trying to help" type a lot of words without saying anything meaningful
My issue initially was for sure I just wanted a Wikipedia page and no that's silly
good
Well, I like working with programs and software, so I remember stuff fast
my beloved
this, and pictures are worth a 1000 words. take screenshots of what you did
Yeah just like jot down some commands or whatever
yep that too
The WORST feeling is looking up an issue, find someone who had the same issue, but just says "Fixed, nevermind"
Like great.... HOW did you fix it?
for me it's super easy to go overboard and nah, that's not what actually helps me learn
reddit is probably the last place to look, but when it is the last you will find your answer
Reddit mods, I hate rhem
For IT, it's stackoverflow and reddit who usually has my answers
pick your poison
/r/sysadmin if you ever all have that role in your life
nessessary for Patch Tuesday
Just found out about it, 10 mins ago
only the big communities have bad mods for some reason, never saw anyone complain when there are only a couple mods on subreddit
When I was working my first job, the other techs didn't know how to use chocolatey, I didn't know... stackoverflow came in clutch when I needed to do chocolatey installs.
Yeah if you handle patching at your org it's 10/10 nessessary tbh
you'll find issues weeks before Microsoft actually admits them
I meant Reddit mods in general. There's shadow downvoting related to sensitive topics, triggered by specific words
I am too š
lol nice
Not really. When I made a post about it, I got an IP ban from reddit š¤£

I am above you, my role is co-admin and admin
No Discord mod themself can do that on their own, that's a site based concern
Get on my level, I'm community co-owner.

Well, I meant discord mods, not sub or community
Get on my throne, I'm the community founder
So yes admins more porperly
Get on your XBox, my dad is Bill Gates!
idk there's also a reason why myself and others have distanced themselves from Reddit
So I don't really like Reddit, because it promotes specific opinions
I'm actually the Playstation type a guy
more like it's a former shell of its self so you only hear the dingus which stuck around
Speaking of which.... fucking r/pics is going political close to elections, which, is just.... wtf
Yeah. Experienced it myself
lol again, are you suprised when half the mod team probably left
Yep, almost all posts are anti trump
You had 4 years, in-between to post that crap, oh, but no, you just NEEDED to post about it close to election
Anyone know what would be stopping me from copying a string from my PC into the THM attackbox?
Exactly, like wtf...
there's that sidebar on the left in your AttackBox with the arrow
You press that arrow and pase into the clipboard icon
then you're set to paste into the VM
I'm watching a German person play Planet Crafters..... I have 0 fucking idea what she's saying
Also make sure your browser allows you to copy and paste
Gave 1 Rep to elizabethnoir (current: #38 - 227)
Thanking you!
don't ever go to big subreddits on reddit, thats like going to the frontlines of a war
Linux terminal also has its own copy/paste command, which is shift+ctrl c/v
Why not going to the front lines is fun!
Now onto my next problem of sha256sum STUFF
your brain explodes a bit faster
Well, I would write what they downvotted me, but if I post it here, it will be against rules
But briefly, I named the thing directly, I got downvotted
I used other words, and people were upvotting and supporting my comment

And when I made a post about it, I got banned from Reddit
That's fair but it honestly doesn't matter and as you say is not something we can manage here
I just share my experience with Reddit
cryptography experts - #room-help message
Oh I more than understand but lol
that is actually a huge skill issue
Yep, I'm like"WTF"
Let's like not drag this comletely unrelated thing out here
Just not the place for it
Totally fair though and I have no issues with your complaint. I have my own issues with Reddit despite being a mod
Just best to move on lol
Btw I requested joining a cheese cult
lol what does that even mean
4chan???
This
.
Nah I think I'm good thanks lol
alright to be fair, I don't see the bad part of reddit cus im mostly looking at smaller communities and nsfw of people dying
but if you did just use that in response yeah kinda just trolling
Rip Eyebleach
the watch people die subreddit is long banned.....
if that is what you were refering to
yeah.... maybe not worth talking about here
I think you got me
Yeah I'll refrain from what I was going to say lol
Why are you watching people die , wtf
at one point there was a subreddit with publically accessable webcams
then some stuff happened and people realised how many of those were hacked into and it got banned too
Interesting, coping mechanism, etc. that's what chat gpt thinks
btw it was eyeblech, eyebleach is cute baby animals
You too?
Some people do want that morbid curosity. It was for sure not a regular thing for me. I will just leave it at that.
I would not
so now instead of using that subreddit to find streams of animals shadow uses twitch.tv
I said my brains aren't ok š¤£
this is cute
y'all need more of this in your lives
yeah it is cute and wholesome and nice
Tho it taught me to be careful with heavy machinery, trucks
I mean I remember a website called rotten which was like my beginning of the web when I was a child but then, you stop š
so r you lol. But yes thank you for changing the topic
Because these videos are likely out there against the deadās will so I just think itās disrespectful to the dead
watching ferrets running around right now
paint a better picture of the reality of the world and analyze what went wrong
Yep
Humans are what went wrong.
on youtube several aquariums have 24/7 streams up of their fish
Safety measures*
I could also just say, "for fun" but that would make me look like a psychopath
I like those zoo streams
Safety measures are there to keep you safe against the mentally unwell. We all have free will
Someone with taste I see
same. sometimes the staff members are putting on shows and you get to see those
Cheese!
DMd about cheese š
Fun fact, I was a leader of the Rat Empire cult on discord for a short while many years ago
when the eurptions were happening in iceland I would watch the streams because a lot of people went out and set up streams to view the eruptions
that sounds nice
That sound amazing
I like watching ponies because theyāre silly
@naive violet you about?
ask him if he's based
I like watching people for the same reason 
it was interesting because at times scientists would pop in, because there was a lot of unknown information.
Betta - I'm too old to know what that means, so I won't be doing that š
That would be super cool. I studied zoology š„°
Jabba is my trusted 'Young folk lingo' tranlator :p
Half of London who are wearing it lmfao
I studied environmental science so I know the basics of volcanoes, but not to that extent lol
Thatās cool š
ponies are the real trend setters
I like the wilderness
I like natural stuff too
same
I made this from a block of wood today š
I have forgotten what I like
i just came back from camp yesterday. set up a quick campsite complete with tea and coffee in the desert yesterday
You already said
Cyanide and happiness
I freaking love wood work
nice
nice, i had one that looked similar made out of olive wood. stored cashews in it most of the time
I'm still learning how to turn bowls, that one took me most of the day to get right š
But finished with beeswax (from my parents old beehives) so technically it's food safe too
first thought was ash tray then shadow realised that wood burns
Youāve done an amazing job. Me and my dad are making a pagoda
Shadow - It's only small because that was the size of the wood block I had. I its made from Paduk - the wood shavings in the pic are not from that bowl, but when I was taking the pic, i figured.. Hey, looks like a good 'staging' opportunity
Thanks stealth š
that bowl looks amazing @glass nest
I do wanna try building big stuff, but I don't have the space
Thanks fae, hydra and Kennie š

Youāre welcome, we knocked down the shed and thatās what we are making to replace it
ooh Hydra, you may be able to advise - My neightbour brought me over a oil-melter light thing which was broken. Turns out the touch switch transformer had melted.. only £3 online. Are there any products or things I can use to protect that transformer from heat? I'm assuming it was the heat from the lamp that melted it
recycle and reuse, i like it
okie I'm back
We are making pagoda š«¶š»
Going to be so pretty
Is it gonna be a traditional one, or are you gonna so something different with it, like install a bar or something?
you should definitely share pics when ready
Maybe you can get some sort of heat resistant bag/cover material
I was thinking that, stealth but I wouldnt want it to .. y'know.. retain heat into the transformer
My dad hand made these details with metal
It COULD have been a faulty transformer, but as the lamp is designed to get hot/warm... I dunno
beautiful
Ooh. Looks kinda music-y
also insane, is that cast iron or?
Was there any heat coming from anything else. Anything can melt at the right temperature
just PVC... yep
Yes
Oh wild
@glass nest Electronics help?
lol only natural
Oh ouch I see you're... oh even more ouch
Not sure if thats from the lamp or the electronics
I saw you said there was some issues in the AC bits and yeah I'd be concerned there but can offer little help compared to the DC bits
obviouisly no good either way, oofie
that part in the middle right corner looks like a mouth with teeth
Or an evil eye
He got hungry and had no pizza.
I have no mouth and I must scream?
Yeah absolutely shouldn't get that hot
lol I'm also not just being weird: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth,_and_I_Must_Scream_(video_game)
people talk with out speeeeaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never shared. And no one dareeeeed disturb the sound... of silence...
mhmm, I need to play more
hello yall do yall have any problem running exploits on msfconsole with opvn?
nope <3
alright thanks
lol
Not If I set the ports correctly, fowage
I don't mean stop there, describe your setup more, but yeah if this goes on for too long #room-help may be the better place or #site-support
James - Thats what I was thinking. It's only designed to lighty melt smelly oils, so shouldnt get that hot. certainly not enough to melt thick plastic
oh okay thank you elizabeth
Transformer won't be what generates the heat for that
No worries, yea you can for sure get this working, I may or may not check into those channels lol
Yah, it's the bulb
Eh. i'll pop the new one in when it arrives and see how hot it gets
@loud marlin how is gaming on hyprland???
Yeah, you can't mention gaming without elaborating for Ellie...
yes plz c:
Should be a server rule
I mean is kinda my vibe
its a tiling windows manager
Nice! Fair enough, Wayland I presume then
Ellie - Been getting into simulators recently. Farming Sim & Construction sim mainly
I'm still on xorg since I'm Nvidia shill unfortuantely. But do need to take the pluge with the recient changes
I tried trains, but found it a bit boring
I'd say nice but yeah not exactly my vibe but hec yes call me up when you get into truck sim lol
probably not sure if they have a X11 version
Yeah I doubt it, but thank you for the info, I appreciate it, first I've heard of it
Gave +1 Rep to @exotic vector (current: #2325 - 1)
I think I have a few trucker sims on Steam. Might give them a go at some point
you're welcome, before I switched to Linux I did a dive into DE, distros etc lol
Riders in the Storm šµ
Nice totally fair, yeah I've been Linux main for about 18 years c:
I switched in September
Sounds like you're well more than on your way then, good stuff c:
hyprland is a wayland tiling "window manager"
window managers is kinda the wrong term for wayland things
deep down the rabbit holes shadows goes
yeah I picked a distro then stuck on a helmet and ran at the metaphorical wall
Yes they're more properly compoistors
fae - I tried that years back, but gaming is just a lot easier on Windows
Totally understandable, yeah freakign devops is huge and a very valuable skill, but for your first time, just install Linux normally, but it sounds like you have
I havent had an issue with gaming on Linux, but most of the time I play on my switch anyway
Thats fair
Yeah it's lovely
I'm hungry, gonna eat pelmeni
yeah took me almost all day to figure out how to get my 2nd SSD wiped and mounted on Linux lol This is how I deal with getting stuck in THM, I just do a bunch of searching and trying things until it works.
Best way to learn!
did you just put it in your /etc/fstab? probabtly the best way
and agreed
Linux just gives you these little challanges which are great to figure out
Breaking stuff, then panicking. I've learned so much through that technique š
lol you're not wrong
na its under /mnt
Although by that line of thought, @boreal scarab would be a transcendant genius...
well yes, but what method did you mount it on boot?
presumably by editing your /etc/fstabs
Steady on...
oh right yeah I edited the fstabs
I mean if we learn from mistakes...
cool cool yeah makes complete sense and no worries
I for sure remember doing the same for the first time c:
We're just trying to make sure you have a soft landing
something something softlanding linux was one of the first distros but shuh
I did use PopOS! the other year, but I was still at uni and while there are FOSS office suite, but I kinda didnt gel with it well, and was causing more issues for uni work, so I kept that SSD as linux and went back to windows on my other SSD. Then in September wiped everything including windows and went to CachyOS lol
Totally fair, I've never heard of the latter there
I can't say I've used LibreOffice tons but have had little reason to do so
its based off of Arch
Yeah, Same here with Libre/Open office. I get a word and excel licence on my work laptop which allows 5 installations, so I just use one of them on my home computer
I use the open source ones in a pinch, if I need it for something on a fresh install
Fair enough, I jsut went straight from Ubuntu minimal installs in 2008 to Arch Installs after realizing they're the same thing but better
As much hate that goes towards Microsoft, Excel is a cracking peice of software
Haha
you have to Ctrl+Alt+V and then select like Values Only
excel has its own world competition
I just found out elephants have soft cushion feet
Excel plays Doom, it wins by default.
I've watched those, its surprisingly fun to watch
excel lets you do raytracing
Does it actually, I have a friend who really loves excel
You are talking about the software right
I found out about it because theres a youtube channel where someone who has never done it before take part. Its actually wild
oh yes let's celebrate the insane code execution of Excel without having issues with the security concerns lol
Not for people or objects
I mean, once you understand pivot tables - you become the office hero
That about SUMS them up.
Microsoft Excel World Championship is an esports tournament that is based in Microsoft Excel. The tournament has a series of Qualification Rounds followed by Playoff Rounds and Live Finals in Las Vegas.

Bye, take care
Don't quit your day job...
Oh god š
Go back to microwaving tea.
why are you microwaving tea š
They don't know how to use a kettle.
Whoās microwaving tea, why
What is kettle
Go back to butchering the English language.
what about using a 20kW microwave???
Itās our language š
Yeah, you adopted the language, but we're the ones who're doing that
yea... it's confirmed, broke my write today cuz I tripped over my cat.
is that why we keep removing u????
uh oh
Iām going to assume thatās meant to say wrist and ouch
You mean "h h" 
I dont own a kettle, I just boil a pot of water.....
it's broken in 2 places.
Oh, you meant wrist.
owie !!!
shadow had a half british school mate.... he made tea in a pot on the stove with tea bags
Yes. Innit, bruv.. Bri'ish. Y'all cant even say the T in British...
ooops yeah "wrist"
I guess you love your cat
Wrong side of the border...
well innit has a T in it
Who is shadow
Y'all the same to us 
You just described how English chavs speak.
Yeah that would be me š
Makes sense for a wannabe Canadian.
she zig zag between my feet and almost stepped on her.
ello ello shadow is shadow... a person that refers to themselves in third person
Cockney slang aināt just the chavs okay. Itās anyone east London born and bred
š¶ok
I once had a housemate that boiled eggs in the kettle.
thats when I stopped using any kettle lol
Aw hell no. Fuck Canada... French everywhere, KM/h...
Nah, I'll take my English, and freedom per hour every day of the week
still waiting from the doc to see if i need surgery
Did they ever go to prison
I think thatās what they do in jail š
freedom yet your choices boil down to just 2 of everything
no unfortunately
And that's not just Quebec, French is throughout all of Canada
Freedom per hour šlmao
Hope it goes well, they might just cast it
Yeaaaah, but you do go there a lot to hang with Emma. May aswell move there
computer operating systems??? windows or mac
mobile phone operating systems??? android or ios
burgers??? mcdonalds or burger king
what else do you only have 2 options in????
hoping for just a splint
usa the land of freedom where freedom means choose one out of these 2 bad choices
She wants to move OUT of Canada. I'm totally fine driving up and hanging with Emma, but staying... naaaaah
But poutine and Molson...
Democrat or Republican

... did not wanna bring politics into this but fair beerrise
Never had either
Good job
@hot cairn when's our next road trip? You owe me Poutine lol
but poutine... its so good!
oh forgot about waffles or pancakes
When you go home to Canada.
Oh @glass nest we have Tim Hortons in New Jersey AND Pennsylvania š
though there is only waffle house and no pancake house
so dunno how well that applies
CBSA doesnāt like your stories already
Cananananander? Naaah
lol
Yeah, we have one here in Plymouth, Uk aswell.
But yeah Iām gtfoāing to the land of freedom
theres a bunch in Manchester too
I tried so hard...
Willingly?
Timbits are nice, but the other food they do is a bit meh
Yes
We turned a Canadian into an American! LETS GOOOOO
Poland and the USA have Moscow
My condolences š*
Please excuse this joke of circumstances are bad.
You mean Ryan Reynolds?
Iām pretty sure my story is the same as most. lol
Scotland also has a Moscow
not until it get citizenship... which is hard as meeps
Met a girl, fell in love, rest you can guess
Not really
Then I was born in wrong Moscow
Picked these up in PA
Can't convince her to move with you?
Or is it easier for you to go there?
Because if you get US Cit you have permanent tax obligations even if you leave
Easier to go down, and other personal stuff
Ah, I see.
But that means you're farther away from me. I sadge 
Anyone tried timtamās
Just waiting on my green card atm
Kansas city aināt far
MA or WA is on the list for somepoint though
Wanna see my pack of them
It's called a blessing in disguise.
Yes
for how much the americans seem to hate taxes they still have not removed the permanent tax no matter where you live clause
Ah yes... almost a full days drive lol
NUUUUUUUU 
@crude stump
?
Good sir, itās a 3h ride
we have a timtams like snack in the UK called Penguin Bars
Iāve done it

timtams are alright, but they don't compare to Cherry Ripe bars
Are you Australian
American
Ah
Do they still have the poor jokes on the back?
Yes, but also it depends
Via plane? I was looking at the drive lol
they probably do, I havent brought any in years lol
I mean there is tax treatyās etc
But regardless
You still have some obligation if you get cit
Later me problem
without getting into detail, the political climate in USA is very off-putting for someone considering moving there
I could walk 19 days straight to Kansas city... why is that an option Google? Why?
I am aware, and certain events could change plans but Iāll leave it at that
hikers
its everywhere atm the same
Depends on where you go tbh
Well, you are the mighty Emma - you'll land on your feet. then get in a plane and be off your feet again
tbf if I could I would go on a very long hike
Iāve been many places - it is not the same
hitch hikers
Everywhere itās different, surface level itās similar though
Well, I also have US Castle laws on my side š
its still the same ongoing discussion, you simply choose between one extreme point, i miss the moderate middle
Agreed - the world just needs to get along and use the differences to find solutions rather then problems
I'm far to lazy to google that, Emz š
Can dm if you want lol
Hehe, chances are i'll look it up later after I've eaten
dito, absolutely agree
oh right yeah food exists, I should think about going to lidl lol
Excellent, can you pick me up a few random treats from the bakery? Thaaaaanks!
I avoid that section because everyone is there lol
It's because lidls bakery has no right to be as good as it is š
Everytime I solve an issue with Hyper-v I get a new one, yay
Surpise features
its really good but their almond croissant needs improving though
Its quite innovative supermarket branch. I had a classmate who loved Lidl as a shop way more than it is healthy to love a shop...
lidl is just lacking in the freezer section, aldi is better for frozen stuff
Agreed
Iceland for the frozen greggs suasage rolls.
They've started putting all their xmas stuff out aswell
I wonder how did discussion on THM got to the bakeries? š
the world of General š
me I said I should think about going to a supermarket to buy food for dinner lol
anyone know how long it takes on average to complete the cybersecurity 101 learning path?
How long would you spend a day?
Depends on your subscription
maybe an 1 or 2hrs per day
I'm premium user
A few days
šø
10 hours a week you're estimated finish is 27th Nov.
ok nice! Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 2918)
I'm starting to believe that you're a bot
Can't I just answer the questions to complete the rooms? I completed linux fundamentals 1,2,3 in ten minutes
...
Yes, I am! I'm an AI assistant created by OpenAI, designed to help answer questions, provide information, and chat with you on a wide range of topics.
He connected his account to ChatGPT
That's how the room works
oh wow thats crazy
no shit. I'm just saying that why take so long as in 27 of November
Hold up
I think I spend something like 4+ hours a day on THM I started with 1 or 2 hours a day but I got hooked lol
He wants to read everything
Sure, what's up?
ohh then why ask how long it'll take š£ļø
What's 1+1?
You can't go in cyber like that
ā64
1 + 1 equals 2!
Dunno
11
That's the correct answer
Looks like youāre combining the numbers! In that case, "1" next to another "1" gives you "11." Clever!
Less than 40 hrs probably way less. The challenges should be elementary. Its my guess, not the official average.
It's actually 3
I see what you did there! In a more abstract sense, if you're playing with concepts or joking around, I get it. If you have any specific context in mind for "1 + 1 = 3," feel free to share!
ok great! Thanks
can almost hear Scrubz giggling to themselves
I see you are microsoft's copilot for this Halloween
@sick lance write an essay on Bread.
fae - He does that. None of us know why
Haha, definitely a vibe! Scrubz has a way of turning the simplest things into a fun joke. Their humor is pretty infectious! Whatās your favorite moment from their content?
Haha, I guess you could say I'm here to help with some spooky fun! Got any Halloween plans or themed questions?
do we need to water him or anything?
My hamburger's top is falling off. Which glue will make it stick without making it taste too sticky?
Mayonnaise.
the burger sauce is the glue of the burger
it holds everything together
its all in the sauce
damn I've been using no nails in mine
Why would you wanna eat nails?
its a brand of wood glue
Oh... I thought you were to crazy to eat nails š š¤£
Its a good Calcium source. Also contains probiotics.
I tend to use Gorilla wood glue
Wood glue on a burger?
If it's that dry...
On a wooden burger, yes.
It's not gonna stick. Use industrial glue
I disagree. a decent wood glue holds wood so well, that usually the wood breaks before the glue does
Commercial burgers lack fiber, so its quite unconventional to consider them wood, unless you put some edible bark in.
This.
And I go through a LOT of wood glue š
my dad when I was a kid made us a wardrobe and shelves unit and besides fixtures he used no nails glue lol
He used just glue?
yeah, it was sturdy and didnt fall apart once
AKA, not Ikea
Yeah, it's do-able, depending on the joints
Ah... Yes
Marvel Jesus
We still don't know why thor was crying
speaking of jesus. it's taking the dr forever to get back to me.
Is it your dominant hand?
yea
Ah. Double-whammy
What happened?
well, Looks like dextreme is getting a bionic hand.
I can type like that
I make everyone at the library mad
š
Maybe its not that. Maybe it's because you declare 'I'M IN!' out loud when doing THM rooms
i played a piano piece that needed 4 hands.
I donāt I usually scream ā I HAVE NO F****** CLUEā when Iām in a THM room
checks out š
š
I mean, thats not really living up to your name..
They do creep up on you
I've woken up my fiance by typing fast lol
Mechanical keyboards are life.
Them mechanical keyboards
I should get a new one my one is 11 years old now
I have to go get pain killer but I donāt want to get out of bed
Naaaaah, just refurb it. can actually be pretty fun refrubing stuff
I donāt think Iāve ever had one this long
I should really, definitely needs another clean
