Did you know Glass sponge can live more than 10,000 years
Krunkle adding more knowledge to his collection
Just causally watching Australian Border Force
Meanwhile I'm having a very productive day on my Mac on my Mac
when I visited Oz, the border guys were really friendly.
I think I would make a great border force officer
Just a shame the money is not great
Or a sniffer dog, based on new information from todays events.
although the money isn't great, I've heard it's a pretty stable job
(Border patrol, not sniffer dog. although....)
Used to do a ton of work for the border patrol in my last job
Did you deliver them pizza?
Last job!
Was mostly drug importers phones
They were cushty jobs though. UKBA had like.. unlimited budget, so they'd never ask for specific info, just 'everything' and we could just bill as long as it took
Pop in headphones, and it's a solid 3 hours without having to get distracted
Bliss.
honestly, it was. A UKBA case with like 10 devices.. a whole week of just zoning out
hi
the um.. 'other' cases - Was waaay more faffing around. contactiung the Officer in charge like twice a day, running stuff through different systems
That was only fun when we got a device that we couldnt extract and had to find ways to do it. actually felt like hacking ๐
Once you're not one of 'em, you got nothing to worry about
Is not big deal.
Ah i see
I still can't get tyler ramsby advent of cyber song out of my head! have to admit it this years advent has to be the coolest yet!
Which operating system is better? Kali Linux or Linux?
They are both the same thing
Is college important?
Yes
Kali is just a distribution of linux.
What is the best pentest course?
Education, no matter what route, is important!
Depends on what you're trying to accomplish and how knowledgeable you are at the moment.
That's a matter of opinion and where you are in the world
uhh
and as gawwwww says. depends what career you want
What's wrong with using Google?
Not every answer is on Google
ehm, pretty much is
Here there are people who have practice and experience
@boreal scarab
by the nine!
Well, again, depends on what you're trying to do and where you are now.
I have experience? WOAH!
I do have OSINT Knowledge
Giiiven you don't know about distris, maybe linux fundamentals would be good?
@boreal scarab wheres your santa head? ๐ฎ
yes
hat
@glass nest Number 16
Hahaha
yea such things get directly recognized xD
THM does have a course on essential linux commands and navigation that's pretty decent. I can't necessarily speak to any other organization though.
This actually turned out better than expected ๐
I love confusing new people slightly
More confusing the oldies
ohhh i take that as compliment and suddenly feel younger ๐
I understand
Yeah I'll be a huge help getting into this all
@topaz quail Which would you say is more around my needs, if my server is a Quanta D51PH-1ULH.
I need to replace my HBA. Would you go with a HBA LSI SAS 9305 16i, HBA LSI SAS 9305 24i, HBA LSI SAS 9400 16i, or HBA LSI SAS 9500 16i?
See. Confusing the new people.... even thougfh ,that question is more server based/ homelab based
a lil offtopic but out of curiosity ... overreaction when breaking up contact to someone for "scamming" 30 bucks? or rather legit?
Cool, well, good luck then? If you need anything else feel free to reach out
Obviously, but lol do you even have SAS drives to begin with eliminating potentially half of these?
@topaz quail I'm busting your chops lol. Yah, if you have any questions, let us know!
Yes. And I basically elimated all but one already.
SAS drives
Damn! Noir just dropped the hammer!
More like SASS drives
Thanks ty
Gave +1 Rep to @mellow gull (current: #530 - 10)
Meanwhile in homelab land, VMware/Broadcomm contiunes to crap the bed and the VMUG option for licensing products for personal use is now no longer a thing
they expect you to get a certificate to even quality for personal/educational software packages
Obviously, for my server, my needs, it's HBA LSI SAS 9305 16i.
My server doesn't have PCIe 4, or 16x. And the 9305 is PCIe 3, at 8x.
very much bullcrap, so it's Proxmox time
If nothing else it happened as my one year subscription was ending so could have been worse
Not sure how they expect people to learn their software if you need to get a certificate just to learn the software ๐
@rapid merlin Anything you can try to ask me in DMs you should be able to ask me (and the others) here. What do you need?
Yeah, I saw a funny tweet where a guy technically couldn't apply for a job, as he didn't have 5+ years exp in a specific technology. That was 2 years old. and he invented.
Yeah pretty common thing, I've seen even worse than that, beyond the "and he invented" bit
i didn't want to just "spam " the server, its a question about a specific problem I was stuck on
It's general chat, there's no reason to worry about spamming. What's the problem about?
im on the Jr Penetration Tester ->Introduction to Web Hacking->File Inclusion module and I am stuck on Task 8
im just lost in general
I just bought a 49 inches ultrawide monitor and my wallet is empty as f
okie, I prefer my 3x 1440p displays personally
#room-help exists
just grabbed those for my work from home setup
i just bought a pack of lunch meat. similar wallet status. #unemployed lol
File inclusion isn't a jam that I'm particularly well versed on, so that's not something I'm confident in helping on. Most of what you'll be doing is using url manipulation to navigate a webserver directory though. I would suggest what @silver sky did and try the #room-help channel and someone will definitely get to it.
Oh shoot, time to do my daily AOC 
I'll see if I can run through the room real quick and absorb some information through the raw condensed power of people pleasing and peer pressure to see if I can get you in the right direction.
rip lol
This is the way
Hehe Task 8 is the final room challenge ๐
today's cyber people are so nice lol
i remember back in the day.... haha
oh man
read the fun manual they told me
LOL
rtfm for short...
honestly, it could get kinda eliteist
indeed. i'm not saying i liked it. it sucked lol
reading is nice
weeeelll.. I was usually kind in with them. not cos I was any good, just cos I got on with them

but not after doing it for 8 hours lol
that's cool man
I once read a book for 10 hours straight :3
Not a manual but
The whole ACOTAR series
ah, an my use of acronyms bites me in the butt lol. what is ACOTAR?
i should have just spelled lord of the rings lol
i think it sometimes gets elitist as the old days
taste of my own obscurity
for sure
people just have to be more passive aggressive to evade the overt elitist filtering mechanisms lol
Rotten - Still does in some places. Luckily not so much here
yeah, thm is really nice mostly
Yeah, Apart from the Esqy Guy. he's a nut
lol
You can create teams on thm now. ๐ https://tryhackme.com/r/manage-account/teams
esqy guy?
he's referring to himself
Yeah he's a nut
LOL
lmao my bad
I reckon... Cashew.
haha
did no read his user name
haha. it's all good. i think discord abbreviates names now unless you disable that. and even still. things happen fast in discord and it's easy to just glance and miss something
Don't let them off that easy!
I have been using darkmode plugins on my website I didn;t realized tryhackme doesn't have dark mode yet xD
i tend to read messages more than names
lmao
yeah, i feel that
we need
burns my eyes
I have to wear sunglasses
I mean Esqy it's been "announced" for about a year or more lol
haha
Like a real hacker man
So does the adreneline rush from a reverse shell catching ๐
nice
Hi
hello
Ellie - it's been 'soon (tm)' for like 4 years. But theres an actual date now!
same
Funny thing is that I the only one that I know who saw that you can have teams on thm now.
I need mone so I can quit my job and just be on THM all day all night
i didn't notice it, but i haven't been on the platform too much lately. been really focused on portswigger to pass an interview
Good.
False, the elves knew
That was a thing for a while now I believe
indeed. you are the first. 100% correct and superior lol
or if not, then it's just an extention of the same system they had for business
I the only one that I know who saw
๐

" I the only one that I know who saw"
I said, As In my knowing,
he knows
The elves know all, you should know this simon!
They know the all things people are be knowing
jk that's Toy Story
can't be seen that I came back?
is there a challenge today for AoC didnt check
Nah, if I pull out jokes then mods gonna be in chat. 
Daniel(TM)
โข๏ธ
Hello folks
your call chief. but well played. best not to trigger the ol' moderation peoples lol
Actually, let's move on.
moving on
Bold to assume mods were not already here.
This is really a beta feature.
Lurking and chatting in chat bother are different.
Teams used to be on THM, It's good that it was brought back.
news to me that it stopped being a feature for a time at all, but not sure about the timeframe
Do elves get paid?
Yep, a while ago
No it's a sweatshop and they get paid in room and board
It wasn't used as much, they removed it and introduced Workspaces.
Also universities
please i'm new seeking for a roadmap into cyber security have been programming in java, c# and python for Data science
Thats cool, Jay. have a look at #start-here
No we use the term, on site workers
lol
I've been doing thm roadmap pre-security with 0 knowledge 
We all start somewhere
Who knows what I'll become a year from now in thm
Well, if the maketing is accurate, you'll become a hero
Oath
maybe I'll become a villain
Depends if thre are any windmills in your way. I'm sure they consider you a villian
hi uncle
Allo veggies ๐

hi
Allo Tayana
I thought you'd like that one ๐
Thanks folks

traffic analysis is today's challenge
wireshark
gotcha. like, c2 analysis? attacks, etc.?
no, traffic patterns in Cities Skylines
yes. i normally would have done this before going to the gym but oh well, guess i will be tired doing it
Elizabeth with a zinger
Basically what @sick lance does ๐
i dunno... i mean i don't always use wireshark to analyze offensive traffic. sometimes i use it just to see what's going on or test tools, etc.
+_+
Daniel - Wireshark is fun, but theres soooo much to it
Very valuable insights indeed
asking is good
i know. i'm just bummed out. i'm gonna take off. it wasn't Elizabeth. i dunno the convo prior to that just put me in a bad mood. i'm gonna dip. see you guys later

ah that sucks
Sorry to hear it but hope you have a better one! See ya c:
Can you fix traffic in Cities skylines?
Yes, delete all roads
Oooh, I like Brazil
Yeah you do what the United States does and add more lanes 
No roads, no traffic 
More lanes=more place to drive
where we're going we don't need roads
No issue
Exactly!
The sky?
quote from Back to the Future movie series
think i will do this challenge tomorrow
I do think you can actually get away with no roads in Cities Skylines and only walkable and public transport, but typically you need to unlock a lot of those fetures first if you're playing normally
bike lanes!
mhmm lol
Bless us with your words of retro wisdom!
Watching Matt browns video on pulling the firmware off a tp-link device makes me want to go try it to my tp-link switch
Pulling the chip off
lol it showed you were typing like every time I wasn't. Just Discord client things lol
Dumping the firmware
Nice, sounds like a good time
i wam watching Tib3rius and chatting

Oh honey. it started so well ๐ฆ
[ scam ]
uh oh, that only went down hill
@mossy river @sick lance
@shell nova if you happen to be around, it would be lovely if you could review the above
poor Tayana
Done!
Danke!
๐

Moving on now, idk random topic, yeah I'm enjoying my M4 Mac Mini a good bit. I typically don't sit at this desk as much since it's my work from home setup, but this thing is freaking adorable
nice, M4 silicon
you game on it?
Yeah, one sec
Mac gamer 
you have an M4 Mac Mini? you should have said :p

games
Oh nice
Diner Valley?
Looks old school
the Sims
Yeah, I'm primaly a Linux user but I use basically all three OSes every day (and tbh try every OS I can get my hands on) so yeah gotta try gaming on them all
modern games don't feel fun anymore for me for some reason
lol that's because source ports and engine reimplimentations are some of the eaiser to port and get going
the companies sucked the life from the developers

totally fair, there's still new great games like the new Indiana Jones game and etc, but yeah I'm also a retro gamer for sure
Can't complain with that
Trying to replace my gaming ,so far learning stuff from thm is more fun than playing games
specially AOC
Yeah I tried that for a couple of months and it is extremely rewarding, especially with how THM gamifies everything. But with me alredy working fulltime in IT/infosec, yeah it gets a bit much
I did go all out on AOC last year though, especially the additional challenges. That was a great bit of fun. Been meaning to this year as well, but I've been too wrapped up with work and life sadly... but these rooms aren't going anywhere
but also I just wanna play with new shiny computer so that's honestly part of it... lol I could use it for AOC though, but nah I gotta explore all the options I have
to use for emulating old systems? ๐
and much more! lol
Im building a gaming computer and here I am trying to stop myself from gaming too much
anyways yeah I don't think Chrismas break is going to be time for me either, I do have to convert my home server over from ESXi/vSphere to Proxmox and that's a project enough
lol you can sell youself on the GPU by how fast it'll do hashcat
hmmm eventually I'll learn what hashcat is one day
it's just a password cracker, but GPU acclerated

The dev actually frequents this chat which is neat
Anyhow, I'll hop into my daily AOC. This weekend I'm hoping to complete pre-security path and move on to cyber security 101 
Nice nice, sounds like a plan!
Well shit
As for this, thankfully I really only have one VM I need to migrate. And for that we can spin up another machine with Proxmox, convert to that, and then cluster it with our fresh Proxmox install on the server and migrate there
I'm in my windowless office
Whatโs your fav Linux distro?
But does it truely have no Windows if it's on your PC? 
Lol
Well, I'm coding a script on my Linux machine
Arch Linux easily. Not saying I recommend it for everyone. Just perfect for me
That's base64
What's it for?
That's just base64... yeah beat me to it
And yes it is base64
this song has a password
no
song?... what lol
base64 (everyone else said it, I just wanted to be cool)
The Cyber Swiss Army Knife - a web app for encryption, encoding, compression and data analysis
Sounds like you need to Google it
no one has solved it yet
well it translates to no
Gotta love working at a school in a notorious neighborhood
hm

this is the link lock
Yeah I'm not clicking that
That's..... that's a fucking link
@mossy river
This is what comes up in discord,
Link Lock - Password-protect links
Password protect links using AES in the browser
To browserling I go!
That's just the host domain
welp, dude is muted now
We should have made a few bets
Seriously 
Welp, interesting day I'd say

tyty
I'm stuck in my office
Ive been a bit behind with the advent of cyber but day 8 with the shell codes was just soo bad to go through.
there wasss
Don't know what's even happening
There seems to be no way to copy and past into the vm of that machine
It's Christmas, so no hat.
File inclusion wasn't quite as rough as I was expecting.
๐
look at pinned in #1305926862114914325
The attackbox has a way but the VM does not. So it required a full manuall typeout
Kumiho - not really. we have no idea what you are trying to do or where it's from
My apologies- I was wrong you did provide context
pls

Well.... most of it is in Chinese, or an Asian speaking countries' language. So. Won't find much help here

japanese bruh
Thanks, i wonder if i missed it or many people had the same issue
Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 921)
The text is in Chinese
ITS JAPANESE
I was close!
Which text
besides the point
My text?
i already posted this: Tm8cGFzc3dvcmQaGVyZQ==
Not yours
The decoded password has control characters, I assume that the intended encoding is SHIFT-JIS which doens't help
Jeez what did I come back to.
Stuff
Gaww - you keep leaving at inopportune moments ๐
We've told you it's Base64.
Google it or chatGPT it
Can we have a nickname for you? Really don't want to call you "The one Japanese guiy".... sounds wrong as hell

im kumiho
Thank you! 
Gave +1 Rep to @potent elk (current: #2507 - 1)
I was busy doing the File Inclusion room for that one person 
beerise - Kumiho. And the other one is Chainz ๐
Either way, I highly question the use case/application of this, seems sus
My name is in katakana cause Chainz doesn't exist in the japanese dictionary

I have bad news
It's a link someone encrypted using a tool on Github called Link-Lock.
NoPasswordHere
it indeed says no
S
this might work
Has to be z
it didnt
XP
;v
Incorrect password
Sounds like it's trying to obfuscate music piracy either way
you dont need to know the language
lolol
If buying isn't owning. Piracy isn't stealing.
What if I want to?

Just tell us, is this just a download for that song that you're attempting?
this is the info i got from the video

I CRI

TABLE
I got the password
Y'all missed it.
I also got the password
Can I give you a hint?
yup
Finally I'm free
you broke the chainz?
why does that look like longitude latitude?
I was going for that one too lol
non
But saw the one I posted and loved it
You talked about numbers earlier.
NAN
The numbers, kumiho, what do they mean!
Look at the stopcode
Decrypt it
nnn up
NaN
I guess that could be the actual password
its not
Are you sure
Use this
4e 6e 6e 5e
OHHH
lol ususally these don't make you jump through quite this many hoops, but also lol... sounds like piracy
๐
dear lord

now bout of them are insane...
What's this usn/pss for anyways?
theres a part 2
I figure I missed it

Part 2: The Numbers Boogaloo?
It's some ctf challenge by a music creator
it's all in Japanese so I'm assuming you get parts of their new song
Sounds like audio steg. Didn't put it through anything, but that's my guess
but I am not translating all of these document
Fair enough then, I was assuming it was just typical obscuring sus links for piracy
You don't want to translate?

I mean we do have OCR for that but yeah I can't be bothered at the moment
Ehhhh, not interested enough to hunt that down
Oh actually that's kind of cute after translating
Just basically congrats on getting this far, enjoy the secret song
Oh that is cute.
There's more slides to it, but that's the first slide. Think the rest are instructions
i think it's another challenge
Another link lock
Down the rabbithole
imma kill myself
Erm
Please do not
@mossy river
this is whack

We altered the Morimori urban legend to fit the theme: Enjoy translating specific song lyrics into a specific language.
We modified the structure to align with the theme: It will be used somewhere outside the video and is scheduled to be made public sometime after December 21.

The next slide is a secret folder of high difficulty. Impossible!
If you can solve it, we won't stop you from giving hints, but it would make us happy if people who are struggling could search and avoid encountering the same obstacles.

Given that self-deprecating humour often masks mental health, we don't take it as a joke.
I've lost people to suicide and it's not really a joke.
Sounds good but also no need to apologize, they were just trying to help

Good luck with the flag hunt.
im more concerned about this password

Have you completed this room --> https://tryhackme.com/r/room/tutorial
What happen if you accidentally run nmap on a wrong ip?
not sure the tutorial room is still there... it was either that or the openvpn room that got removed
What do you mean by wrong IP? And was it just a scan?
generally as long as you are scanning ips in the 172.16.x.x or 10.x.x.x 192.168.x.x ranges you are fine
whats
as then you are either hitting just your home network... worst case senario hitting school or work network
nmap and gobuster, i accidentally put a a number instead another

and i saw that later
so you went from 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.20??? or similar
can i put the ip target machine of the room here?
because shadow has typoed ip:s while doing tryhackme rooms before with no consequences more then shadow getting confused when not getting any thing or getting results for other target machines shadow is currently not doing
yes if you want... default is other users are not allowed to hit your target machine but if they do it with your permission or by accident it is fine
typos happen so of course the rules are lax there
the ip target was 10.10.158.249
but i accidentally insert another number and i saw that i scanned another ip
yeah you are fine
that was me! no jk it probably doesn't matter, vast majority of these they spin up on AWS hosts as needed
just cancel that other scan if it is still going and then scan the right one
yeah the likelyhood to hit someone elses machine is small
Yarp
yeah i totally closed the machine and took a screenshot of everything in case thm need an explain
so how going santa???
because i saw that after gave me other things
doubt they need an explain unless it happens a lot from you
If there were plenty of ports it was probably just an IP for another room that you aren't in, so nbd
Currently making sure the reindeer are all fed!
should i contact the thm support? i dont know how these thing works because im new i dont want that i could cause some trouble to that ip owner with nmap and gobuster
nah don't worry about it tbh
Nah your all good
the one time shadow hit someone elses ip they were running one of the alice in wonder land rooms... the one with thousands of ssh ports
was very confused
lol sounds wild, I haven't tried that room yet
it is fun
ok thank you guys, i have anxiety i dont want any trouble ๐ข
Yea I bet, but lets just say, there's a reason I just straight up have a remote pentesting server just for THM stuff, just in case lol
yeah understandable
Yeah don't worry about it
shadow is having paranoid delusions currently..... while trying to do crazy fun stuff with deep level linux stuff like the linux framebuffers
If you was engaging in malicious activity, there would be consequences, a typo that you spotted is not a malicious action
Hope shadow doesn't mean too literally there, but I do encourage the crazy deep level Linux stuff and especially famebuffer and tty fun
"typoing" hundreds of times in a day so you accidentally scan tons of target machine ips would be seen as malicious... emphasis on hundreds
That's not a typo tho 
You're a typo
well would not be the first time someone lied to do bad stuff
yeah i runned gobuster like 6 or 7 times and i have noticed just after i wasnt finding something that i have inserted the wrong number ๐ญ
messing with framebufferterm/fbterm
it has a decent bit of arch specific patches
yeah maybe i should practice when im not falling asleep XD
and not a huge amount of documentation so kinda learn by doing
next week i ll have the INE jp tester exam
Totally fair, yeah keeping to proper scope is important when doing this sorta thing professionally, but even then... there's been major mistakes lol
what is this mystical asleep thingy????
Then produce some documentation afterwards ๐
well maybe
i hope the exam will not too hard
might provide some colorscheme ports at minimum
It's alright, I've fucked up on pentests, shit happens
you say as you meep meep to the bloop bloop every night lol
which certification should i take after the ejpt?
Yeah good advice
When you pass it, grab your role, then we can talk about it ๐
yeah i think is the best thing xD
My friend, the line in your discord status, that true?
The elites don't want you to know this but pint glasses are free. You can just take them. I own 458 pint glasses.
This?
Aye
Holmes! Dayum. looooooooong time no see
Yes
Esqy long long long time!
Yeah! is it still you and Naughty overseeing the battlefields?
I had absolutely no idea. I would've betted otherwise lol
oh ey it is the koth lead holmes
Aye aye aye - not much fun on the battles anymore - not seeing anyone really nailing the game down anymore. Just few players taking the boards.
How are things on your side of the screen?
Heyy Shadow! 
Ticking by. been back for a couple of months, slowly getting back into this crazy hobby
Once you get into it normal life isn't fun anymore
Evening all
Every screen you see in market is a potential kiosk hijack
Ok.. This musta been planned ๐
๐๐๐๐
Holmes!?
That's what I'm thinking

Would be even better if it was Watson
Why do i have a feeling its @agile crown lurking around somewhere
Is this Baker St or something
Hell yeah lol
HINTHINTSATURATION is HINTHINTSATURATION
You British or a Sherlock fan 
i don't think the general chat is to help you out with a ctf 
He is Sherlock
it kinda says on the tin what it is haha
No it's the old monkey and Shakespeare quote that got me the username 
yo 
ah that cracking one
quote of all time that is
@rose tusk so nice to see you back ๐
"To be or not to be, Watson. That is the question."
yeah, i'm always on, when my freaking kali takes ages to update lol
captain Kirk said that in the Last Jedi
Listen, you disappeared for a while while you was studying!
Meanwhile I savor Linux updates... even if they take a while lol
i wasn't studying, i was burned out 
It's the only break time
I gotta get outta NOC to CyberSec though
Holmes, seeing you about is awesome. For real, over the last couple of weeks so many oldies popped in. Szy, Legndary, 0day, skidy... and a few more
do relevant training and see how you can implement security stuff in NOC
I think Tib3rious was also knocking about
Was literally like a time machine to 2 years ago
notice me senpai
Yeah how I moved ahead was just showing that I had what it took to do more security oriented work
basically this lol
Yeah, I'll work on that. Only 1 year into career change. NOC T1, gonna be T2 in the next few months. After that I hope to jump into Sec
It's Christmas, it's that time of the year.
Most of the people on or off started around Christmas on here.
Advent of cyber holds a special place indeed.
Good seeing you too! Been definitely more than a year
yeah, but what are you doing towards it now? that's what counts
I still got a few things to completed to dust the cobwebs off, then I will be in KoTH rooms annoying you ๐
Consolidating my Networking, Linux, and Python skills to tie it all together into Sec related stuff at work that I'm allowed/able to work on ๐
shooting the crap with infosec peeps in Discord obviously, 
playing Wizard of Wor on C64, of course
Definitely that channel could use some new matches! Hit me up anytime ๐
tinder ๐
lol KOTH still seems like too high pressure for me, but I do need to try it
I actually did try THM almost a year and half ago, not a lot made sense and I gave up lol. Came back this week and now a lot more make sense cos I got a bunch of certs/exp/background knowledge ๐ป
where's that rule about unsolicited flirting
Yeah I'm on there ๐
it was related to something else ages ago
thing is, back when I was mentoring, I had an idea to host/present a semi-scripted exhibition match with the KoTH team to showcase how it works and stuff
Hopefully with that avatar
Y'all getting old
same goes to you
we put the cartrages in our consoles and had to rewind our movies when we were done watching
you get old, some of us get wiser ๐ค
it's adorable how you perceive time in a line
And some of us get wider!
or you could be like me, just a bellend
time is a wibbly wobbly ball of stuff actually
Old days now it's all just rootkits rootkits rootkits ๐ if you wanna see the best stuff on there there's a video of launch of koth with john, optional etc all playing the match Live with dark's commentary lol
i wish you were joking, but knowing you ... in a year or two, you'll enter rooms sideways
I already do ๐
Especially in full kit
That depends which side of the room the door is on though surely?
Lmao
If it's on the front you're entering forwards
this dude, he's a walking wardrobe
Walk in Wardrobe?
*official
if he slaps you, you shift 3 dimensions
It still is
im back
I just volunteer as Santa every year
Former username checks out
yeah, you give the kids collin the carb killa
what are the benefits of being Santa on THM?
fame and glory
hmm?
Well I am Santa Claus in real life.
Since the phasing out of chimneys they needed someone capable of getting into houses elsewhere!
Oh, I thought you were talking about me ๐
I've had that M&S cake almost every year since i was 10 :p
What did you have until you were 10?!
Very vague recollections
i can imagine gym bros popping in with collins
well seem to be having a decent setup in fbterm for color stuffs now
Chev - So, thats my actual name. Out of context, that could be a weird statement ๐
AzureZoija is someone i have not seen this year, was just thinking about it
Collin's is a Gemma, and Colin is a caterpillar. Which is it....?
had to do a bit of a hack for some stuff in ther which felt weird
i'll use my good old excuse now
get on the next level and to framebuffer stuff on bare tty tho next
cough cough English is not my main language
Veggies - I spoke to Zojj a week or two back
namely had to use a function shadow has not seen in other places where shadow set the colors in the last 16 of the 256 color block on linux to get correct background and foreground colors
Alright will just tag Muiri, put this on here and get a new one pinned. It's about time. @pallid lotus
fbterm is basically bare framebuffer on tty
nor mine, streets is my 1st language... 
ok, that's cool.
Alright people that's my cue (: have a good Christmas!
I meant without xorg or wayland running at all... okay fair enough then
havent seen Dolphin or Omega for a while
going deeper then this would mean making new stuff
That being said, I think omega did say hi when I came back
yeah fbterm does not run xorg/x11 or wayland
Both busy working! Gotta get them presents knocked out
it is about as deep shadow is comfortable going
Have a good one Holmes. Was really nice to see you again
can run mpv in there so could watch videos
Holmes always a pleasure dude
Don't be a stranger ๐
mhmm totally fair. I just had a great time back in high school when I went tty only for a summer with an old CRT, that was just lovely
Likewise esqy and wideboi! Good seeing you โฅ๏ธ๐ซ๐
And chev
i keep forgetting to add hyfetch to my update bashrc after i update

now i'm back in my cave, 25 minutes later kali finished updating
that's apt for you ๐
Now to see if it's broken or not ๐
i take snapshots, my last one was 2021 august ๐
sounds about right
Kali takes time but Parrot always takes so bloody long to update
to be fair, what permanant are you even storing on a kali install
I say with my own pentesting enviroment having tons of crap in it
nothing really, i tend to use pimp my kali for a lot of stuff then set up powerlevel10k
then folder structures for various labs
Yeah can't complain
i might just do arch then install tools i use and so its lean VM
I just try hard and went Arch for my setup ๐
Hehe, Chev you just reminded me, I should probably catch up with Dewalt
the drill?
but already 15+ years of Arch for me
Kool-aid
He rejected my note which was to replace the term 'Three times' with 'thrice'
i'm alright without arch 
Elf
Wut
YAY just tested mpv in fbterm
yeah lol, it's just perfect for me, I wouldn't push it on anyone else
Him and Jovvan are probably still bricking Arch builds together
Uncle should I try to switch my old crappy laptop from windows to Linux and mess with it
so keyboard shortcuts of course
no twitter/linkedin banner saying i use arch btw 
Are you using the laptop for anything else?
oh those 2, i remember
Nope I use a new one for my work now
Nope lol, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did lol
Always trouble. I hope both of them are well
Go mad then. make sure you take off any files you wanna keep, or set it up to dual boot.
Yeah they're pretty easy to get down. I know v for subtitles by heart lol
from what i see, all the linux nerds brag about being NixOS users
elf with trying 20 linux distros per night
but I set my standard language in the config so that's usually all I need
While smoking cigarettes next to his CRT monitor
what was the term he used when he deleted another VM?
nix is yucky
yeah, he was like 16 or smth
torching
Honestly once you've tried a couple distros, the fun is kind of gone compared to trying every weirdo OS you can get your hands on
Wdym. If you're not using IaC to control your operating system you're doing something wrong /s 
That was the smoking
Shredding
That was it!
hannah montana linux

That was it!
the only distro you need
lol even then
"shredding a VM "
I mean, or his host
He did that quite frequently too
'I have something important to say. Everyone be quiet..................................I am Elf' user has logged off
Yup
i delete lots of VMs
I did have like 72 VMs in a VMware Workstation setup at one point. It was getting silly but I loved it
The nostalgia is real
i have a bunch of VM iso files
He's also buy crappy tech from the 'Chinese shop' that was near his house ๐
and moan about it ๐
that's an odd contradiction
No offense, you ain't elf. So it's not that magical

correct i am not an elf, i am sudo veggies
nightmares are hardly forgotten
Also, you'd better have deleted that picture smh

which one?
You know which one
i have .iso files that i load and run in VMware
yeah just disc images
you made me curious now, what we talking about hahaha

I thought you potentially were conflating with the .vmdks
Do you remember the rules?
But yes I am addicted to trying every single OS I can get my hands on
ArcaOS is one I'm glad I actually got to try c:
of course i do, i always walk on thin ice
'Muiri is always right. If you believe this is not the case, check again' ?
Well it was Muiri who implemented it
And he is always right, according to the rule.
I mean I can't aruge with that one
okay that is funky.....
Tib3rious solves a few AoCode challenges with AI, was interesting to see
lol didn't handle the 256 right?
@rose tusk can I DM?
apparently not as expected yeah
nvim should be friendly but yeah who knows, depends on your config
Oooohhh.. Chev is trouuubbllleee
considering the message to set the term variable and then directly go into tmux has some merrit
i got
Which rule?
. 1
1 3 2
2
Thanks but that doesn't help much when it's terminal rendering issues c:
^ exactly
i must be tired. I read that as 'reindeering issues'
either bad color scheme set in the config or... who knows? lol
i just pasted it since neovim was mentioned, sorry, just was excited to share my cheatsheet ๐ฑ
To enable 256 color mode properly, do export TERM=fbterm-256color AFTER fbterm starts and then attach to a tmux session. If TERM is not linux upon fbterm launch, it will fail. Tmux is needed because fbterm provides escape codes that differ from broadly used codes, so tmux serves as an abstraction layer.
Unlike vanilla fbterm, in this version the configuration file is located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fbtermrc or $HOME/.config/fbtermrc if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset or empty (the original placement is $HOME/.fbtermrc). Also, the configuration file is not forcibly recreated anymore. For default configuration, see /etc/fbterm/fbtermrc.example.
that image is painfully small so here is the text
always bb
the OGs will always have a space for that
Can't repeat it here ๐
Raindeering Isuess, Santa has them
