[rapid merlin]

owh waow i like ur confidence

i would like to hire you

just kidding

[whole gazelle]

confidence is key 🐺 💪

[sick lance]

Whatever for?

[rapid merlin]

@rapid merlin where are you from

[sick lance]

The Fluff cult is hilarious.

You're worshipping a former user. 😄

[rapid merlin]

ConstClan should be a thing

[rapid merlin]

is that fluffyme

[rapid merlin]

hire for be my friend🫂

[sick lance]

Fluffme, yeah.

[rapid merlin]

india and you?

jakarta

[rapid merlin]

[sick lance]

...She?

FluffMe is very much male

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

laughing in hexadecimal

[sick lance]

I'm not joking?

[rapid merlin]

i'm computer eng student not social eng 🙂

[exotic vector]

well I had a "fun" time at this meeting I had to have

[rapid merlin]

then i'm not aware of this

guys can we start a ConstClan

[sullen sentinel]

Hello! Does anyone know how to bypass or any workaround for MaaS360 app site restriction?

using a 3rd party app if possible

[sick lance]

No, 🙂 That would be unethical.

[sick lance]

It's ok, everybody assumed Fluff is a girl.

[rapid merlin]

i cant tell u here

[rapid merlin]

so its him haa

[versed matrix]

i hope I can open up here that I feel imposter syndrome. As a first step into cyber security, I am studying python to gain developer's knowledge and stop studying tryhackme for a while. When I am facing doing projects such as ping pong game and road crossing games, I couldn't finish them without tutorials and guidance. And it makes me feel that I am so dump.

[exotic vector]

@sick lance I might be able to get a certification funded for me

[sullen sentinel]

Ohh, I'm sorry. It's just that my friend can't remove it from his phone

My bad

[sick lance]

Does the phone belong to them?

[sullen sentinel]

Yep

used it for his mission

[rapid merlin]

am I the only one that's noticed an uptick in "i want to hire a hacker" recently?

[sick lance]

Which mission?

[sullen sentinel]

His religion, I think?? He's a mormon if I'm not mistaken

[sick lance]

So he was given the phone for his mission?

[rapid merlin]

I reached the 1% 😄

W

[sullen sentinel]

Nope. Own phone was used for it

[whole gazelle]

congrats!

[sick lance]

Strange they don't have permission to remove something then.

[sick lance]

That's good news, which one?

[sullen sentinel]

Yeaa, that's why he needed help. Anywayss, thanks and sorry for the troubleee.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 2976)

[rapid merlin]

tryhackme do I get free merch now 😆 ? Also I never heard back from ym video entry and 5 potential free tickets from the cyber sec 101 :S

[mossy river]

You didn’t hear back? 🤔

[rapid merlin]

i know a magic trick ! thank you @sick lance

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 2977)

[rapid merlin]

Nope not at all, I think I mentioned it in comments too

[exotic vector]

im not sure yet, I have to go to restart (dwp UC thing) and they asked a bunch of questions, I vaguely skimmed over that im learning cybersecurity although the words used was "I am good at IT and im currently upping my skills at home" and they also said that if I need some training or to gain a certification or qualification then that could also happen.

[rapid merlin]

(on twitter and linked in posts)

[cloud quiver]

Congrats bro 🥳

[mossy river]

I’ll double check, give me a second

[rapid merlin]

much appreciated :)!

[sick lance]

A ..Magic trick?

[rapid merlin]

yaa

I sent the email on the 23rd of Oct if that helps

[sick lance]

You uh, going to elaborate?

[sick lance]

That's handy.

[exotic vector]

yeah so im going to do some research into certifications at the weekend and then on the next meeting bring it up with them.

[rapid merlin]

woah so cool

[exotic vector]

also their cybersecurity is awful, kinda annoyed that for my account they made the password but I dont have the portal url yet and I really wanna change the password like damn.

[rapid merlin]

well I can't reveal all my secrets but let's just say my magic trick involves turning frog into human

[mossy river]

I have no emails from you. Can you send me a screenshot of the email you sent, please?

[rapid merlin]

Sure thing

[mossy river]

Much appreciated

[rapid merlin]

are there any jobs available right now in thm

[rapid merlin]

DM'd

[sick lance]

Check their LinkedIn. 😎

They have opening posted there.

[rapid merlin]

like mod jobs

[rapid merlin]

sure

[sick lance]

Moderators are voted in by other moderators, who are voted out of the Community Mentors, who're in turn voted in by other Community Mentors.

[mossy river]

We’re always hiring! Check out our linkedin, or I can get you our jobs notion page when I’m at a computer

[rapid merlin]

so now how to pull this out ! do i need to help the community

[rapid merlin]

Pretty much, be active and helping.

And you could get voted in.

[rapid merlin]

could you give me some advice for this

[rapid merlin]

[sick lance]

Be active in the server, help out, be youself, don't look to be a mod, don't troll etc.

[exotic vector]

I need to revive myself with food before I do some learning

[rapid merlin]

I'll be a good boy then 🙂

[acoustic obsidian]

Hi guys, can anybody recommend some realistic web ex practice websites?

I've done most of the web ex on PicoCTF except the impossibly hard ones

I've also done most of the web ex on HackThisSite except the impossibly hard ones

[sick lance]

Have you worked on Tryhackme?

[acoustic obsidian]

Tryhackme has practice web challenges?

I've only used it for learning lol

[sick lance]

I didn't realise you already used it.

[ashen glacier]

In the same way, if anyone knows of any websites to learn cloud computing, I'm all ears.

[silver sky]

Ya wide boi was on the news 👀

[exotic vector]

oh no who did you hack?
(because your hands are behind your back it looks like you just got done for something)

[silver sky]

It was remembrance day so I was reflecting

[exotic vector]

ah makes sense :)

[sand trench]

why does it look like they cuffed your hands behind your back????

[wooden totem]

but was it a good event @silver sky ?

[silver sky]

Yeah it was a nice service

[exotic vector]

thats good

[sudden bridge]

do they also get 💸

[sick lance]

Moderators get free merch and stuff.

[sudden bridge]

ah

[sick lance]

Free merch, free sub and free vouchers.

[mossy river]

Moderators get free TryHackMe subscriptions, it is a voluntary role not a paid one:)

[sudden bridge]

the notion page you shared doesnt load, can u re-check. i wanna be a hacker at tryhackme

[arctic cradle]

guys

[sudden bridge]

wow anything for free sub. is there a limited no. of mods there can be?

[mossy river]

Well, no there’s not a limit, it’s more of a supply and demand basis 😅

[sick lance]

It loads ok for me.

[mossy river]

But we choose users who are here to support the community, going for free sub sounds like an ulterior motive 😆

[sudden bridge]

i mean yeah right

[sudden bridge]

man,

doesnt load somehow

oh it did

[loud marlin]

do hard refresh

[sudden bridge]

yes worked

does thm take interns too?

[loud marlin]

yep. i got same issue. idk why but it refresh the site peroper way

[sick lance]

I don't think so.

[sudden bridge]

man that sucks.

[willow sapphire]

Does anyone know if there will be any discounts this year for THM premium? I know historically they have done it around this time

[pine stratus]

1 year sub?

[sick lance]

Black Friday and AoC probably.

[sudden bridge]

hey sup whats ur thm @ i'll throw a FR

[hushed vector]

Hello

[mossy river]

No they get a free subscription for as long as they are a moderator

[pine stratus]

how to apply , i wanna bring THM discord to next level

[sudden bridge]

bro is passionate

[mossy river]

You cannot; users who ask to be moderator will likely not get moderator:)

Moderators are currently selected from our community mentor pool.

[pine stratus]

That's sad :(

im in the blacklist rn

[sudden bridge]

so u, scrubz etc look for potential candidates and reach out to them?

[sudden pond]

They should select KGB

[sick lance]

Mods and Mentors can nominate potential members for Community Mentor 🙂

[sudden bridge]

you're such a helpful person (please nominate me, thx)

[eternal timber]

Yes, lick those boots

[mossy river]

No, we find community members who are kind, helpful and active

Put them into a list and vote on who we want to be added to our community mentor team.

Moderators then select mentors who they think would be exceptional moderators, and once again vote on who they would like to be on their team :)

[tardy finch]

if i was more active on a daily basis id love to be a mentor but thats not the case . better give it to someone more active and more helpful

[sudden bridge]

wow

[sudden pond]

does that depend on the reputation of user

[sick lance]

Yes.

[eternal timber]

Missed a spot 😣

[mossy river]

Of course

[sudden bridge]

if this is a rage bait its poor one

[sudden bridge]

omw to use rep-bot

[pine stratus]

imagine someone 24/7 active and acting kind , and when you guys promote him , he kick all discord server members .

[mossy river]

Your behaviour in the community shows how you uphold the TryHackMe values

[mossy river]

That’s not possible. Moderators work through a Discord bot, which will get blocked for too many ban requests :)

[sudden pond]

what about the people who do mini-modding

[eternal timber]

I’m just playing. Didn’t mean to come off bad

Woke up at 12:30 am today and couldn’t go back to sleep

[mossy river]

If you can’t follow the community rules, it doesn’t give me confidence that you will follow the moderator guidelines

[pine stratus]

expected

[sudden bridge]

if that wasnt a bait then you should teach yourself some manners

[sudden pond]

yes

[eternal timber]

Okay, I was apologizing if it offended you but it’s really not that serious

[sick lance]

I've nominated a few members in the past for their volume of help and dedication.

I feel like shadow has earned an infinite streak freeze xD

[ocean olive]

i need help

[sand trench]

with what???

[split compass]

Don't ask to ask; just ask.
If people can help, they will.
But no one can offer you meaningful or substantial information without know why/what you need help with.

If it's in a specific room, #room-help and #room-hints channel exist as well.

[ocean olive]

ok

[remote swallow]

Ola peeps !

[split compass]

The main reason for pointing out the help rooms is that it's somewhere you may be able to find existing answers.
The platform is huge, so there's always a good chance that you're not the first person to need help with the given topic.

But still, don't bury the lead. Tell us what you need help with 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Yes, it would be unethical to bypass government restrictions

[lime belfry]

they block any VPN connection without any reason and I can't pay for 1 year premium

but ok i understand that you can't help me bypass "government restrictions" thanks

im done whit first try hack me .com page

now im next 1

I’m gonna do some searching after work, but figured I’d ask on here first

[arctic cradle]

Congratulations, you've been accepted to Hogwarts!

[sand trench]

to be completely honest having your own email server and email address nowadays using said servers is not very good

outlook and gmail block tons of self hosted emails by default

[glass nest]

I wasn’t gonna have our own server, just the domain name so she can look more pro. More than happy to do it through a company online. Looks like fasthosts is £1.50 a month

[devout palm]

You can purchase a cheap domain from namecheap or cloudflare and connect name servers to the cloudflare. That's free and you can also route incoming emails to your actual gmail/hotmail/outlook.

So if for example an HR sends an email to [e-mail], it goes to [e-mail]

[glass nest]

Ah cloudflare. Dunno why I didn’t think of that

[devout palm]

I believe you can do this in proton as well but haven't tried that

[glass nest]

Thanks, fellow Super Mario sprite

[sudden bridge]

what does creator lounge mean

[loud marlin]

protonmail have to add domain

[granite narwhal]

if someone wants talk to me in vc '

When I first signed up for it, it was Google Apps and was free for up to 10 users

[devout palm]

It's for people making rooms, mostly inactive

[glass nest]

But each user could have a bunch of aliases

[sudden bridge]

wow. share the room you created

[devout palm]

I didn't make a room unfortunately

Or... Fortunately

[sudden bridge]

😂 lmao

how'd u get that tag then

[devout palm]

It takes a lot to release so i am de motivated

Although, Not seen you around here for ages, Tavish!

Kindly ask a mod

hi sup. altho im very active nowadays. how you doing, how was the day

(its night here, considering)

[sudden bridge]

oh gotchu

[loud marlin]

@glass nest
might help

[cedar shale]

I have a question, since the discussion is about emails. One hacker company was recruiting on a popular recruiting site and the contact email was just a series of letters, it looked like a hash or some cryptocurrency wallet address. There was no @. How can I find out where to send the email when I want to contact them? Is it some kind of a trick?

[glass nest]

Day is still happening for me. Nearly 5pm, so still in the office. Only popped on as my sister was asking about email hosting, and not something I’d set up for years

[sudden bridge]

ah man. i was learning about SPF, DKIM etc. and i realised how much it sucks to set-up an email server or even hosting.

[glass nest]

Nice one ralex, I’ll check that out later aswell

[sudden bridge]

GG with that

[loud marlin]

sure thing. fell free to ask more...

[glass nest]

Oh, not even gonna begin setting up a server! I’d rather just pay a service 😄

[sudden bridge]

as god intended ☝️ SaaS for emailing.

[loud marlin]

@glass nest also 🙂

[granite narwhal]

\

why its take time??

[glass nest]

Ralex - it’s for her photography side-hustle. I’ll make sure there’s basic protections, but it doesn’t need fort-Knox style stuff :p

[loud marlin]

hehe

also you get 500gb encripted space

[granite narwhal]

Hehe

[glass nest]

She got a few jobs for country farm hotels to take pics of the rooms and also the animals

[ivory cedar]

I have returned

[loud marlin]

and i have hannah montana-linux.iso there... extra dangerous linux

[glass nest]

Which led to a few more jobs, so she figured she’d make it look a bit more pro

[loud marlin]

shes photographer, or whatever eng word is?

Guys I’m planning to get a laptop I’m considering a mac can anyone give any recommendations

[granite narwhal]

u always help people

[ivory cedar]

Sure, don't get a mac lol

[vale crown]

😭

I thought they had good value

[ivory cedar]

for real though, no hate on Apple. They make amazing hardware, but the software is meh imo.

[vale crown]

Most of the other laptops got mid spec with 1k plus

[ivory cedar]

When it works, its great, its when it doesn't work that you question why you bought it in the first place

[vale crown]

Do you have any recommendations

[glass nest]

Ralex - yeah. She’s only just gotten back into it, and the jobs just started coming in after the first one

[ivory cedar]

when it comes to buying tech, you get what you pay for.

[vale crown]

Eh HP disappointing

[ivory cedar]

depends on a few things. You can DM me and we can chat about it

[glass nest]

No worries man. I enjoy helping out the community

[split compass]

Avoid Mac, unless you have a specific driving reason to get one. (Required by your course, your employer etc.)
You cannot repair it (Without learning board level repair.) you cannot upgrade it (Without using hardware hacks and intermediate PCBs), you don't own it.

Now, if you want actual recommendations, and not biases, tell us what you plan to do with your laptop.

[frigid owl]

hi guys my account is hacked i have send THM mail but i want to recover my account in urgent , can i raise Ticket here ? please help me Mods

[sudden bridge]

As a mac user, this is true

[vale crown]

[frigid owl]

[sick lance]

You'll need to wait for support I'm afraid.

[devout palm]

I bought second hand laptop and set up mint linux in it, it feels like heaven

[sudden bridge]

why are you afraid? dont be afraid. im here

[sick lance]

Afraid can be used in more than a feeling.

[devout palm]

I'm afraid

[sudden bridge]

you dont need to be afraid. we're in this together 🔥

[sudden bridge]

lmao this 😭

bro is checking out the react feature

general is quiet today 😓

[split compass]

Right, so that tells me you plan to program in some set of programming languages.

Do you:
Want to run VMs to test your software against a variety of operating systems?
Want to run VMs to emulate different hardware scenarios?
Want to have access to common libraries and programming languages?
Want to play games? What games?
Want to do 3d printing?
Want to do...

We do a lot of things with our computers; not defined by the scope of our professions or tutelage.

But looking at profession and tutelage.
What do you see yourself doing when you graduate?
Do you like the Apple ecosystem model, publishing and licensing through the app store?
Is that something you want to participate in?

Outside of Mac:
Honestly, the big names (Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer, Asus) have all made good and bad hardware.
You can't judge based on brand; it's a model by model scenario.

There's also companies that people buy because of their values and beliefs:
I bought a framework because I believe in right to repair and right of ownership.
Some will buy System76 or Tuxedo Computers, because they believe in grassroots foundational Linux native hardware, or that the use of Coreboot means a ground-up FOSS environment.

[fleet turtle]

i absolutely love the free learning path, the site is really made so that even without paying you can get valuable information easily

[devout palm]

Me too! Welcome to club

[sudden bridge]

thre aint no free path, pal

[split compass]

Sorry for the wall, I try to at least format it to be legible.

[sudden bridge]

yeah that was a good breakdown

[vale crown]

This is really informative and I’m like a noobie so I’m just trynna grind some thm, make some apps and projects, I’m a first year cs student

Vms, software development, I’m doing some data science and ml on the side as well

[sudden bridge]

oh thats new. but they just filtered out the premium rooms.

[fleet turtle]

because.. its a free path

[split compass]

ML...
Right there, I would avoid Apple lock in.

[ivory cedar]

How did your account get hacked? Are you talking about your THM account or something else?

[vale crown]

Is there a reason why?

[whole gazelle]

m-chips sucks for runnig vms

[split compass]

Machine Learning and AI are not mature on Apple.
Sadly they're not mature on Intel or AMD either, but there are projects (Tensile I think?) trying to correct that.

If you want to get the most of ML, you want CUDA cores; and that means something with an NVidia card.
And I'm saying that as someone who is thoroughly on team Red in my hardware.

[sick lance]

They've been advised to contact support.

[vale crown]

Yeah I heard nvidia is good for ml

[sick lance]

Only via email will you get the help required.

[vale crown]

Cuz they’re comparable with pytorch and tens something I forgot the name

[whole gazelle]

tensorflow

[granite narwhal]

ur kidness btw

[split compass]

Yeah, I want to start playing around with Machine Vision, and you can do some simple stuff even on RPi or with my RX 7700S, but tensorflow (see tensor-cores: NVidia), pandas, pytorch, favour NVidia, primarily because of the maturity of the platform.

If you look up recent trends in purchasing of hardware by AI companies, you'll see the diversity of portfolio is growing; but still NVidia dominated.

[jovial mesa]

Is anyone else having issues with their machines/boxes going down/being unable to connect today/yesterday?

[loud marlin]

it might be due to amount of ppl doing AoC

[devout palm]

XD

[split compass]

@vale crown But yeah, for broader/more blanket recommendations.
As a student especially.
I would probably look for off-lease business laptops (Good pricing).
This will usually mean a Dell, HP, or Lenovo, but from a better tier of platform than what you see at BestBuy.
These systems will typically be 2 years old, so you can look up the models on reddit, or on youtube (Jayz2C, GamersNexus, LTT, etc.) to get an idea of how it performs real world.

That said, if you ever DO decide to develop projects for Apple eco-system, you will need to pick up an Apple system in addition. (Commonly this is what Mac Mini is used for.)

[vale crown]

Some dm me some recommendations

Im checking them out rn

I’ll keep what you said in mind ty

This is actually more informative then me searching Reddit for advice lol

I didn’t know about off lease laptop

Ty

[rapid merlin]

reddit is rarely ever useful

[boreal scarab]

That's a WHOLE different meaning if you're in the US

[vale crown]

[rapid merlin]

usually just makes things worse icl

[split compass]

What country are you in?
I'm in Canada so I'm mostly aware of second hand market up here.

An example of an off-lease system would be what I'm on currently.
I got an e-mail from IT a couple weeks ago that this laptop is due for evergreen refresh.

Original Install Date:     19/05/2022, 6:00:37 PM
System Boot Time:          14/11/2024, 9:26:12 AM
System Manufacturer:       HP
System Model:              HP EliteBook 855 G7 Notebook PC
System Type:               x64-based PC
Processor(s):              1 Processor(s) Installed.
                           [01]: AMD64 Family 23 Model 96 Stepping 1 AuthenticAMD ~1700 Mhz

(32GB of RAM, 512GB storage, 8 Cores 16 Threads), mine is embedded graphics, but some will have dedicated depending on their original use case.

I run docker, WSL, Virtualbox, VScodium, Excel, and about 9000 chrome and firefox tabs.

So when I turn this one in, it'll go to a recycler/refurbisher, and be sold as off-lease.

[split compass]

As with any community supplied knowledge base, your mileage with the content, will be dependent upon your ability to filter and understand the content.
site:reddit.com Elitebook 855 G7 will get you some pointed conversations.

When all you're after is the subjective opinions on a given model, this is probably useful enough.

But looking instead for "what laptop should I get"
Rather than seeing if the deal on a specific one is good, or that it will do what you want. Are vastly different uses of the platform.

[lime belfry]

Can't relate tbh

[rapid merlin]

True

[sick lance]

That's Reddit

[rapid merlin]

did you check the hashcat cracking speed

[paper tendon]

hi

[rapid merlin]

hello

[split compass]

On this system?
I could.
I have Ghidra on here and InfoSec hasn't sent boo, I imagine I could grab hashcat and test the same.

But y'know, open ONE plaintext file from your MS-Teams app directory with notepad++, and you suddenly have to explain that yes you did it, and why 😄

[rapid merlin]

embedded graphics is real slow at cracking hash

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab stop recruit ppl for cult...

[split compass]

Truth.
I'm going to be installing a second drive in my personal laptop soon and putting all my non-gaming stuff on it.
So I'll be testing out the RX7700S on that one against hashcat.

I used it last night when a friend was trying to find something but couldnt

[exotic vector]

it blew their minds, 1 even dm'ed me and said "did you....did you hack?" and I said "no, I just searched based on what you all were talking about"

[silver sky]

I just got into a spot of road rage

[exotic vector]

oh no, what happened?

[spare kestrel]

Hello

[silver sky]

Impatient woman had to slow down to let me change lanes to go right, decided to get out the car, and so I got off the bike, she promptly called me a freak and got back in her car

[spare kestrel]

Dam she got out of the car

But how is this road rage

[exotic vector]

for the UK thats road rage

[silver sky]

Because we was both raging at each other?

[spare kestrel]

Right right

[exotic vector]

I stopped cycling because theres too many people that will rage for no reason and put everyone in danger to get around you

[wild rose]

I'm a bad offender for road rage. I would rev my bike as I rode by.

[split compass]

What you riding?

[silver sky]

As a fellow two wheeled machine rider, I agree this is acceptable

[spare kestrel]

Dam that sucks, I bike too, but havent experienced road rage

Can anyone help me actually after upgrade the kali linux then after minimize , cut and resize button are gone

[exotic vector]

idk how much I can say but the last time I cycled someone decided to total their own vehicle

[spare kestrel]

@exotic vector wanna be friends on THM?

[silver sky]

Don't upgrade kali, tends to break things.

[spare kestrel]

Oh oops

[split compass]

So far I've only had two terrible driver experiences.
One was some middle-aged asian lady in an older (80s/90s) sedan who rode my ass for miles. I got away from her for a while by passing an aggregates truck, but it eventually turned off, and she came back to kicking distance off my rear tire until I got to the highway.

And the other was a Lexus SUV who just did not look.

Head on a swivel mates.

[silver sky]

I had that happen the other week, he crashed head on into a police car

[sick lance]

If you need to update Kali, just download the latest image.

[exotic vector]

sure, my username is the same here but change "april" to "unknown"

[exotic vector]

wooow like straight up "ooooo thats a fun looking car lemme go touch it"

I think I missed something.

I know your weight bar?

[rapid merlin]

I tried a poll from my weights, the handle to a knife, the actual weight and I tried the battery to my screwdriver

When I tell you I looked everywhere for the hammer.

Of course. After using solid objects, the logical choice it to use something with a breakable plastic covering

Adds to bridge

hope that helps

[flint lintel]

but what does the whole "Bridge Connections" thing do ?

[silver sky]

it bridges

A network bridge allows multiple devices to communicate with each other as if they were on the same network, even if they are connected to different networks. For example, a laptop connected to Wi-Fi and a desktop computer connected to a wired network can communicate with each other using a network bridge.

Yeah I actually was a dominoes delivery driver when it hit and it was hell. It was good that we couldnt handle cash so they had to pay through the app but people were ordering so much that food often was delivered cold

[silver sky]

I'll take my business elsewhere

I wanna pay cash

[glass nest]

I've no doubt that the driver will still take a couple of quid if you offer it to them

[silver sky]

New map is all Asian inspired, with rice farming equipment

[exotic vector]

oh thats cool

[glass nest]

Whats great is that I'll be driving on a motorway, and see a tractor with some complicated-looking attachment, and I'm like..I know what thats for!!

[exotic vector]

im like that when I watch hacking stories or vids on cybersecurity true crime lol

[glass nest]

And then you watch a film and are like... No way did they do that!

That nmap scan would take like 3hrs!

[exotic vector]

exactly its why now I cant watch all the older hacker movies or series lol

[glass nest]

Except of course Hackers (1995). perfectly accurate representation of hacking.

[sand trench]

Has documentries and stuff on there, although not been updated in a while

[exotic vector]

I havent seen it yet, if my partner goes to work tonight I might. Although my migraine is easing a little so might do some learning first

[sand trench]

feels weird that jason borne series is not on that list

[granite narwhal]

the length is same

[sick lance]

Are you doing tHM?

[whole gazelle]

kinda looks like THM room, but not so sure

[sand trench]

for those who do not know to get the boss medals you need to beat the boss without taking damage

so it is quite challenging

[wild rose]

drink coffee or go on a walk and stare at something somewhere far.

caffeine I mean

[rapid merlin]

@glass nest this is a pretty good scifi to go with 2001 from that list https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066434/

[exotic vector]

It's a migraine from sensory overload thanks to the mandatory meeting I had to go to. Basically the only way to solve it is to reduce the sensory information my brain is getting

[sand trench]

wanna make sensory overload worse??? just add a sprinkle of hallucinations

[wild rose]

Ahhh I hate those too. Yeah dark room with noise cancelling headphones is the trick for me.

for Shadow

[rapid merlin]

ouch, those can be so painful, happy to hear it is easing

[glass nest]

Hot Tip, thanks sandwich!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @lime ledge (current: #715 - 6)

[exotic vector]

the office was awful, had the old building smell, they had the radio on constantly and the meeting took place in basically a busy office, so less than a metre away from me you had a group of staff chatting away, while again another radio is on. At the same time the adviser is talking to me and im trying to listen and respond. It was awful

[glass nest]

but the mighty Fae got through it. Good job!

[wild rose]

I had a interview like that too where there was too much going on like a sales bell and the other person had a crooked eye, so I came to the conclusion that staring at her 3rd eye was the best option.

[glass nest]

you used social engineering through ESP? Smooth

[exotic vector]

it has made me think that I need a remote job

[wild rose]

And that's how I passed my government clearance.

[mossy river]

Community ideas and feedback

[glass nest]

Thats the dream, fae. you're on the right track though. Learning a computery skill

[sand trench]

hah yeah might help

[glass nest]

Dex - My clearance was just an application form and a 6 week wait

the cleance for the local police took 2 weeks

[exotic vector]

wanna know a fun fact?

[wild rose]

This was just a discussion of the form and making sure the info was all correct and that I can remember it all word for word.

[glass nest]

Is it that Wombats poop is cubed?

[sand trench]

poop^3

[exotic vector]

well yeah it is, but if you have quite high debts and apply for a civil service job they're likely not to hire you even if you're everything they're looking for.

yeah its cube shaped because of the shape of their colon

[wild rose]

google this to find out more...

[glass nest]

huh. never knew that. I got the job which needed clearance about 6 months after uni. Although it was for a private company

@half girder It's in the oven now

Although I did try some of it. Kinda Chorizo-ey but lighter

[exotic vector]

yeah basically the reasoning is, if you have debts then you may be more likely to be more corruptable or something. But at the same time its kinda stupid because I have never met anyone who doesnt have debts lol

[glass nest]

Especially nowadays

[wild rose]

That's weird but interesting that they're the only mammal to do that.

[glass nest]

I thought I wouldnt get the clearance as I'm not English, but shrug.

told you it was a fun fact, dex :d

[wild rose]

yeah I had to forfeit my dual citizenship for the job.

but hey I'm a SecEng now.

[glass nest]

Yeah, when I applied to a job that was... 'north of the river' as they say, they said in the first call that If I wanted to proceed, I'd have to get British citizenship, and remove my Irish. didnt fancy that

[exotic vector]

thats cool

[glass nest]

Security Enigma?

[wild rose]

Yes I'm a spook
