If it's for THM then you just need to read and follow the instructions. They're pretty self explanatory. So just follow the rocky road to Dublin.

Your average convenience store customer isn't bothering to have concern for their fellow shoppers. They got places to be, you know? Shoulders to bump! Heads to reach over to take that thing you spent less than a second looking at. How dare you want the most basic level of courtesy? Harrumph.

@normal fable and @dusty tapir can attest to that

[willow lintel]

no sir never. I particularly need you with the next step i.e. Arch

[boreal scarab]

I'll make it easy for you. Just type this command when Arch CLI comes up

archinstall

Then you can decide easily what you want, not have to fight with the normal way of installing Arch

[willow lintel]

you know initially I was going for Arch directly, but then Robin told me to hold and get a hang before doing the full installation.

[boreal scarab]

If you want to go the normal way, I say, fire up a VM and have fun there

[willow lintel]

does that mean it would a piece of cake just like fedora?

[exotic vector]

Arch does have a GUI installer now as well

[willow lintel]

i think this seems more interesting.

[little siren]

He has to do it the normal way

Its the test

[rapid merlin]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall
But it takes away the learning process of manually partitioning and picking the packages that YOU need for your system etc

[boreal scarab]

Arch... Arch can be a pain when it comes to supporting certain apps. Because it's so bare bones, even installing 1 app, it's looking for dependencies that you then need to install. It's very... manual

[little siren]

It took me a whole afternoon lol

[boreal scarab]

Yeeeep

This is what ArchInstall looks like. just a simple, arrow keys, space bar selection

[boreal scarab]

Man, we'd all have to buy him liqour afterwards XD

[willow lintel]

yes sir, i would really love to read the manuals and the videos and links you provided earlier

[little siren]

Lol true but its such a nice feeling getting to see the login screen after that hell

[boreal scarab]

Oh 100%

Or just be this fucking mad lad @loud marlin with his custom Arch setup

[willow lintel]

Yes Sensei! I will live, fight, and die the spartan way

[willow lintel]

i think I must do it the manual way, afterall I do have you guys if I am unable to understand the documentation and all

[rapid merlin]

I3 is a classic and you can transfer your config toooooo.. Sway(?) I believe if you want to move to Sway
From the interwebs; Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration.

you get better network connections and machines with premium with no time limit

[smoky osprey]

Ugh, why do video games have to be so large these days? Downloading a game from Steam is like a 12-hour ordeal! My Steam Deck can only hold about three games at a time now. It's crazy! 🤣

God I hope my Steam Deck will handle "GTA VI" when released.

[brisk tree]

which game

[smoky osprey]

oh lame...the PC version won't likely be released for years. I might have to buy a console just to play it. arg

[magic frost]

IF released

[smoky osprey]

lol like all of them now.

[smoky osprey]

You think it might not never be released for PC?

But right now I'm downloading Red Dead Redeption 2. It's from 2018 yet still like 130GB come on

[magic frost]

I think the gaming industry is going throu some changes and maybe some big invetments gonna be rethinked to avoid tanking

[smoky osprey]

Arg. I just want to play GTA 6 so bad. I'll buy a damn PlayStation just for that game if I have to

[wild turret]

hey people

[smoky osprey]

I'd like to hear more about this. Any links / articles? I'm a bit out of touch with gaming

[magic frost]

just my intution

[smoky osprey]

You think the gaming industry is in trouble?

For one games are way too expensive

[magic frost]

too many flops that costed millions and interest rates are no longer 0 which makes money more expensive

[warped grail]

yo just completed the Blue room it was so fucking fun

[smoky osprey]

I wait for Steam Sales and baically only buy games that are 70%

[warped grail]

[smoky osprey]

I don't get why someone would ever buy games from Steam when it isn't a sale

[warped grail]

this time steam sale is kinda ass

[magic frost]

everyone has different priorities

[warped grail]

and after sales too the price is sometimes high to afford

like i aint giving 15$ for a game

[smoky osprey]

Really? I mostly like playing games that are a few years old so to me the Steam sales are awesome as hell

[mellow gull]

You find some gems

[smoky osprey]

$15 for a game to me is VERY reasonable

I mean...even in the 90's gameboy games were like $20

[warped grail]

i mean i cant afford it

[smoky osprey]

ah

[mellow gull]

Games have been 50$ on release for like 15 years

[warped grail]

yea

[naive violet]

I've paid full price for a few games.
Only Starfield has made me regret it, the rest have been indie

[mellow gull]

I usually base it on sale percentage, 70%+ is usually when I start thinking about buying

[warped grail]

multiplayer sometimes buy

[mellow gull]

Yeah don't advocate for piracy btw

[naive violet]

Don't mention piracy etc here.

[warped grail]

ok yea

mb

[boreal scarab]

@silver sky

Ping

[silver sky]

What

[naive violet]

Support devs who make good games

[boreal scarab]

Ron?

[warped grail]

i do specially indie ones

like i liked a game called GRIS

[magic frost]

the problem with modern games is that they are released with a ton of bugs in what previously would have been beta releases but thanks to updatable platforms via the internet they are releasing sooner and sooner to recoup the inverment

[warped grail]

goddamn it is so good

[silver sky]

And?

[silver sky]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

I miss your christmas hat dude

[magic frost]

do not ask $60 for a game in which I will be working as QA

[silver sky]

Back in my day, you used to not be able to update games, sometimes they was buggy as hell.

[mellow gull]

Another problem is that game quality in general is going down but the cost of development and infastructure is going up. Despite this, people's ability to spend money on games has been relatively stagnant for a very long time. It's an incredibly multifaceted problem that's affecting AAA titles, and studios don't like what the solution has to be.

[boreal scarab]

@glass nest Number... 18? 19?
My Santa hat is with Santa!

[silver sky]

As a developer, I don't agree with half arsed releases

[mellow gull]

This is why we're seeing such a major shift towards long-phase content and microtransactions. The price of buyin simply doesn't recoup the costs of dev anymore for a lot of stuff.

[silver sky]

rather release later than earlier

[keen sandal]

will there be airdrop?

[smoky osprey]

Maybe if games didn't cost $60....more people would purchase them

[boreal scarab]

At $70 now

[silver sky]

But those with publishing companies breathing down their necks, are pushed to release on time

[rapid merlin]

The kitten is hella mad at me, I had to wash his bum. He’s looking at me like I’m a villain.

[smoky osprey]

I'm sure these companies do the math though and price in a way that makes the most profits

[magic frost]

I blame poor storytelling due to corporate overreach for that, blaming DEI like most of reddit like to do is very simplistic I think it has more to do with too many marketing people messing with the script and sidelining the actual people that understand and loves games

[smoky osprey]

Now that you mention it...all the new releases seem crappy

[half girder]

well, when i start a game and it turns out to be still buggy, i return it. that simple. why waiting for a perhaps bug fix?

[sand trench]

HUH????

[smoky osprey]

Every game I'm playing is like 2019 or earlier lately

[glass nest]

What do you reckon.. 25 total?

[mellow gull]

I don't disagree with that perspective. Storytelling in AAA titles has gone down the drain, just from an objective perspective. Uninteresting characters, predictable plotlines, very simple systems that've been done to death and yet are somehow even worse than their past iterations. I don't necessarily think it's a DEI issue by itself - that might be a small part of it, but marketing and content quality in general has been on the downtrend for a while now.

[glass nest]

Ok, post-town misson rant: Why don't people have situational awareness! you wanna answer a text, fine - but move to the side, don't stop in the middle of the path!

Walked into like 3 people!

[magic frost]

somewhere I read that is like comparing homemade cooking with frozen prepared meals because in the past this was mostly done by people that were games themselves and had passion for it and now is marketing and MBA people doing market research (whatever they mean with it is a mistery) and producing a canned product for mass consumption

[mellow gull]

We've also become a bit too accustomed to episodic-style releases. The fifteenth call of duty, the fifth sims game, sixth GTA, etc etc. Customers haven't actually been providing much of an incentive for game developers to be creative. There's a certain block of the market that'll absorb and swallow up content no matter how uninspired and garbage.

[magic frost]

as a big and tall dude I love ramming the people with that behaviour

[smoky osprey]

All I care about is GTA 6. I'm going to cry if it sucks.

[magic frost]

go get the tissues ready then

[glass nest]

Well, if you are THAT invested in it, how can it possibly live up to your expectations?

[loud marlin]

@sand trench you got any issues with wallpaper's after now update on hyprland ?

[mellow gull]

Anyways time to go spend 150$ to get the DLC for the sims that used to be part of the base game.

[smoky osprey]

Holy crap....Playstation 5 is cheap. I'm totally buying one for GTA 6 so I don't have to wait for PC edition

[sand trench]

made their accountant quit on the spot due to poor management and using of donation money

have ddosed the aur 3 times now just because they keep doing bad stuff with their package install app

needlessly keep packages downgraded/not updated for 2 weeks causing tons of problems for anyone that uses aur packages

if you wanna keep using it sure

but at least be honest and report on the issues

[magic frost]

those issues happened plenty of times with other distros

still remember when Ubuntu removed the realtek drives in a major upgrade and needed several hours to fix it

[sand trench]

really??? name another arch based distro that ddosed the aur???

and shadow means it as it actually brought down the aur for everyone

not just manjaro users

[magic frost]

tbh, I do not care about that

[sand trench]

also most linux distros don't continuesly fail to keep their ssl/tls certs.... and certainly not 5 times over... as it is a simple setup a script once and it keeps updated forever

and making your account ant quit due to handling donations in a way where you are hurting your own project is icky at minimum

[magic frost]

still no issue for the user

I have been using Manjaro for several years now and did not experience any of this issues

the only other distro that worked this smoothly so far for me is Fedora

[sand trench]

[mellow gull]

Now I'm not gonna cast judgement but "it's fine cause it ain't hurt me" is wiiiiiild logic

[magic frost]

Ubuntu is all problems and they like to do things their own ways so the config files are never where they should be, Debian is a nightmare if your machine is newer than 10 years

[sand trench]

I have discovered an issue with one of your core Manjaro packages, manjaro-system 20180716-1 and earlier. The issue allows a local attacker to execute a Denial of Service, Arbitrary Code Execution, and Privilege Escalation attack.

🎄 🥳 Advent of Cyber 2024 DAY 22 Let's Go! 🥳 🎄

[boreal scarab]

Yah, lets say 25 at this point

[sand trench]

agree heavily on this

[magic frost]

I sure hope you do not eat or drink anything by Nestle if you criticize that logic 🙂

[smoky osprey]

Arg! Don't say that lol. I've been waiting too long for it to suck....and I've played every GTA game since GTA 2...all of them have been awesome

[loud marlin]

112k files to backup... =/

[little siren]

There are some wild stories about the mistakes the ppl behind manjaro did

No need to get salty

[magic frost]

as @glass nest said, great hype brings great dissapointment

[sand trench]

there is avoidable stuff and then there is unavoidable stuff nestle is not the avoidable stuff but rather the unavoidable stuff for most people

so not fair comparison

[smoky osprey]

Debian sucks with newer hardware? It was always my go to distro. Now I just use Kali or Mac OS....or Cgywin in Windows

But Kali is debian based no?

[magic frost]

@sand trench you do you, go install whatever you find comfortable with your ideals as of me I will continue using Manjaro and recommending it because it works just fine 🙂

[sand trench]

well enjoy your system then

[magic frost]

I do

[sand trench]

hope you never get in trouble due to the security updates being held a week for no reason

or that the manjaro specific packages never causes your system to get pwned remotely like it did for others

[smoky osprey]

Which Linux distro do you recommend?

[sand trench]

just please don't recommend it

[magic frost]

that is for me to decide

not for you

[sand trench]

for what level of deep diving and having to deal with configs???

[smoky osprey]

I have no issues dealing with config files if that's what you mean. What do you mean by deep diving?

[karmic hull]

Hey

[smoky osprey]

What do you recommend for a desktop experience that is bare bones?

[sand trench]

having to install lots of things yourself and configure it yourself as it is not presetup :D

[smoky osprey]

oh I like that

[sand trench]

endeavour os or arch linux

[magic frost]

try a bunch and see which one fits your needs best

[smoky osprey]

I've been out of exploring Linux distros for like 12 years

[sand trench]

for a not very good with computers person shadow would point towards either pop os or linux mint

[smoky osprey]

Switched to the dark side and use Mac OS...or Kali for hacking stuff

[sand trench]

for a sane middle ground for somewhat techy but not needing to do the arch way fedora is nice

[magic frost]

MacOS is not bad for daily driving tbh so long as you can run VMs on it

[smoky osprey]

I've been meaning to check out arch. Doesn't it rely heavily on bash scripts? I like that

[whole yew]

can you define 'bare bones'? do you want an ectual desktop environment, or are you looking for the most stripped down, resource efficient terminal?

[sand trench]

bash scripts??? nah it does not rely on a lot of bash scripts

[whole yew]

Every linux distro relies heavily on scripts.

[sand trench]

^ fair

[smoky osprey]

Oh maybe I'm mixing up arch then

[whole yew]

There's a ton of systemd and initv module management that's all bash.

[sand trench]

should have specified does not rely on more bash scripts then some other distros

if you have a lot of spare time shadow would point people towards gentoo

which is a distro where you compile basically everything yourself

[whole yew]

If you are new to linux, do not jump straight into gentoo, arch, or lfs

[sand trench]

using a tool that compiles from source and lets you choose common compile flags

[whole yew]

In all honesty, if you are looking for a distro with a desktop, your most user-friendly distros are probably going to be ubuntu or fedora

[smoky osprey]

Is slackware still legit? It was the first Linux distro I ever used..Slackware 7 back in 1999

[whole yew]

Almost everything else that's 'easy' to use will be a fork of one of those 2

slackware is still around

[tepid furnace]

Send this man to the eastern front (arch)

[whole yew]

IIRC it's another 'compile everything on your own' distro

[tepid furnace]

2 months in and out

[whole yew]

You sure?

[tepid furnace]

They'll come back a new person

Obviously not

If anything before touching linux they should check out some of the resources posted on cli usage

Especially if they're coming from windows

[magic frost]

this kind of drama is why I stopped recommending Linux to my non-tech friends and just recommend chromeos or basic macbooks if they only want to do internet browsing and watch movies

[whole yew]

IMO that's very learnable starting with a basic DE friendly distro

Get started with just using it and getting comfortable first, then start breaking stuff with package managers and dpkg resolution

[tepid furnace]

That's true but knowing what to look for or some kind of resource to give them a starting point would always be nice

Or providing a nice knowledge base

[smoky osprey]

Chromebooks are a great option for most people.

[boreal scarab]

Man, I love Pentoo. Only scratched the surface of it, but I like it

[tepid furnace]

Nothing too overwhelming just how to look for things, how to move things

Gotta constantly reassure them that they dont have to use what everyone else uses too

[magic frost]

I found them to be really good for boomers because it feels like their phone

[whole yew]

It's all in the pinfo and man pages for the basics..... Ubuntu and Fedora community forums are usually first search results for problems. Aside from that, it's all 'how much time do i have to figure out this message in journald'

[tepid furnace]

Well yeah pretty much

If anything it depends on how much they wanna learn though

[smoky osprey]

I wish Microsoft would just switch Windows to be Unix/Linux based already.

I feel like it's inevitable

[tepid furnace]

Dont newer versions of mint have a pretty decent ui?

Very user friendly

[shell peak]

Just use windows atp

[whole yew]

there's a lot of community drama between gnome3, window managers, and KDE still

[boreal scarab]

oooh, Pentoo has a new version, released yesterday

[whole yew]

I usually stick with gnome for compatibility reasons and recommend it for the same

[tepid furnace]

Which is unfortunate

Yeah

[tepid furnace]

Nahhh

Id rather mint over windows

[magic frost]

there is a lot of toxic community drama in everything linux related

[tepid furnace]

The only and only reason I still use windows is for my vr drivers

[smoky osprey]

xfce was always my favorite windows manager. No need for fancy stuff

[tepid furnace]

It's eliteism

Which is unfortunate

[smoky osprey]

I go out of my way to do as much as possible in the terminal. Because it makes me way cooler.

[whole yew]

in all honesty, i don't care much which distro or packages someone prefers, so long as they are using it and trying to learn/understand how the stack works

[magic frost]

have a couple friends that are kernel commiters and Plasma mantainers that avoid Linux communities because of that

[tepid furnace]

Its also faster

https://tenor.com/view/f1-gif-25339191

[smoky osprey]

Yea. I was joking, but for most tasks the terminal is the most efficient and gives you the most control

[tepid furnace]

Yeah

Using windows when I have to I would kill for a grep tool as fast lol

[whole yew]

XFCE is faster.... until it breaks because some package you want isn't supported and relies on a nouveua or mesa driver feature that XFCE refuses to implement

[smoky osprey]

I actually was thinking about setting up my protonmail in a terminal-based mail client. Is alpine still legit?

[whole yew]

powershell has a pretty good regex tool.... it's just powershell and more verbose than i prefer. But it works fundamentally the same

[smoky osprey]

omg yes! Powershell needs grep

[magic frost]

or the gnu command, every time I had to use Powershell I wanted to throw the machine out of a window

[tepid furnace]

I think a big problem is just that windows is so integrated into everything that most people dont ever feel a need to swap

[whole yew]

not sure what you mean by legal. Alpine is still used a lot for containers and lightweight headless vms

[tepid furnace]

99% of people dont care enough about data privacy or other usagw

[smoky osprey]

I said legit

[tepid furnace]

They just need to browse google, use discord, play games, powerpoint/excel

[sand trench]

xfce is working towards supporting wayland

[magic frost]

which is fair

[sand trench]

it is in late alpha sates now

[whole yew]

electron apps should stay in windows, imo

[tepid furnace]

Until there is a push for more digital literacy I dont see anything changing much :(

[whole yew]

keep that garbage off my desktop

[sand trench]

so they are looking for people to report bugs and stuffs

[sand trench]

:D what about discord :D

[tepid furnace]

Discord is mid

It used to be good

[whole yew]

doesn't live on anything except my windows desktop - i don't do social media at all on my phone

[sand trench]

discord is an electron app

[tepid furnace]

The only reason it's still used is because of the free servers/ everyone is on it

[smoky osprey]

I sooooo wish I could use Discord from the terminal, but Discord has gone out of there way to prevent it.

[sand trench]

^ this to be honest cerberus

[smoky osprey]

I guess because of spam

[tepid furnace]

If your friends werent on discord you wouldnt be

8mb file upload limit

[sand trench]

if you like breaking discord tos you "technically" can

[magic frost]

I see it mostly as fault from tech because you do not need to be a mechanic to drive a car and Windows have adoptar that phylosophy while Linux communities just splinters and/or go ballistic and hostile over any perceived thing they do not agree 100% on and thus instead of improving and making stuff easier all effort is wasted in "look how especial I am unlike X"

[rapid merlin]

I’m starting on TryHackMe and I noticed there’s a recommended learning path. Should I follow it, or is there a better option?

[smoky osprey]

Nah. I don't want to risk getting banned

[tepid furnace]

This is also a fair point

[sand trench]

agree for the most part but security issues make shadow flee if there are major ones in their distro of choice

[tepid furnace]

Follow it and supplement with note taking and external resources (read into the basic topics further then thm)

[sand trench]

same

[smoky osprey]

I wish IRC was still a thing

I mean..it's always a thing but hardly anyone uses it anymore

[tepid furnace]

Once you've done part of the basic stuff feel free to check out other sites like overthewire and another one I cant remember

[sand trench]

it is... but it is kinda messy in some regards

[magic frost]

IRC was fun but Discord is way comfier

[tepid furnace]

It'll help you get used to linux and it's quieks

quirks*

[sand trench]

shadow likes matrix for communication protocols

[rapid merlin]

ok thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @tepid furnace (current: #622 - 8)

[tepid furnace]

No problemo :)

[smoky osprey]

I haven't heard of matrix. Does it have a decent user base?

[tepid furnace]

Check out obsidian for a nice note taking program

I cannot stress how important notes are

You will hate yourself if you dont take them

[tepid furnace]

obligatory cherrytree mention

[sand trench]

it is picking up... it supports end to end encryption and server like stuff similar to discord but is open source and decentralised

though the main app people use called element for it is kinda poopy if you don't like electron apps

[magic frost]

I take them and then rarely consult them afterwards but they sure help digest the content

[sand trench]

you gotta host the servers yourself though

[tepid furnace]

Just wait until you have covered 1000's of topics

And you need to have remembered correct syntax or quirks

Keeping a playbook helps a lot

[smoky osprey]

Ohh...obsidian looks nice. I love mind maps and graphs for notes

[magic frost]

I like having a snippets library

comes really handy for recon

[tepid furnace]

Yurr

Lemme whip out my notes

[magic frost]

which means you will have Matrix and Discord

[sand trench]

yeah shadow has both

[tepid furnace]

I know It says htb in the shell session notes but I was in a hurry lol

[smoky osprey]

hmmm weird. I have to download a Proton Mail bridge to set it up in a terminal-baed email client like mutt. hmm

[tepid furnace]

but I can look back on that and get a quick overview

[magic frost]

that is some lovely note taking

[tepid furnace]

and because I link my notes I can click on them and they can take me to other spots

yuh

good notes help alot

[magic frost]

you need the bridge for any local client because Protonmail does not use the standard protocols

[tepid furnace]

it also makes it nice if someone is getting into something and you can give them a quick rundown on a topic

[sand trench]

feel the color gradients are to distracting

[tepid furnace]

it helps with my eyes

[smoky osprey]

For seurity reasons?

[magic frost]

yes

[tepid furnace]

It's a high enough contrast for me

the different colors in the headers signifies how wrapped it is

and then blue text for important important similar to highlighting

[void tangle]

hmmm... maybe I should get into a habit of navigating through my computer using the terminal rather than clicking icons

[smoky osprey]

I'm a little upset with protonmail's IOS app. Recently like 3 weeks of my email just disappeared when accessing from the app. In my web browser they are all there.

I pay for the professional edition so maybe I should reach out to support

[sand trench]

naaah settle for a middle ground like a terminal based file manager

[tepid furnace]

and then at the end of each note page depending on what it is I have an overall section and useful resources

[sand trench]

midnight commander is probably the defacto standard for terminal based file manager

[void tangle]

Ill try that

[magic frost]

no issues with Android but in the iPad I had similar problems and had to logout and login again

[tame bane]

attackbox sucks for computer navigation, real linux and you will quickly start using the keyboard more automatically IMO

[tepid furnace]

and then you can see the linked notes

[magic frost]

never managed to get used to MC, I just always go with cd and ls

[tepid furnace]

it takes a bit more dedication in the beginning to set up the structure

[magic frost]

also drop-down terminals are a blessing

[tepid furnace]

but it is 100% worth it

that way if you get burnt out you can quickly step back in

after taking a couple months break or so

[sand trench]

neither did shadow... got used to lf and then yazi instead

[tame bane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0rwQVNQkHM if you're on osx this is pretty epic

[grizzled wing]

pretend you have flag{you_found_the_file} in your system

[magic frost]

also terminal proficiency is a must the moment you start working with servers because if they are linux, which is most likely unless you work with some Microsoft partner, they will not have a Dekstop installed

[void tangle]

[tepid furnace]

Especially cisco devices

[tame bane]

windows professionals use powershell generally as well

[magic frost]

uuuuuuugh I HATE those

[sick lance]

Attackbox is great for people who don't have the resources for their own VM.

[grizzled wing]

dont attack the AttackBox

[magic frost]

@tepid furnace been a while since I had to deal with physical servers, mostly cloud this days, do CISCO routers and L3 Switches still need serial for connecting to management?

[tepid furnace]

Oh I have no clue

[sand trench]

uh oh

[tame bane]

so many tab

[magic frost]

sometimes I miss the datacenter life then I rememeber disk array failing and it passes xD

[magic frost]

so you tried to hack tryhackme and managed to take it down eh?

😮

you can create rooms!

[sand trench]

yeah

shadow and vain created cheesectf

[magic frost]

[sick lance]

I need to catch up no so much AoC.

[magic frost]

never understood what people see on AoC, I mean if they are happy is cool, but I have deadlines at work already no need for more in my life xD

[loud marlin]

[sick lance]

It's aimed at beginners.

[magic frost]

I guess it makes sense

[sick lance]

I'm still recovering from my mission into town

[topaz topaz]

In a week or so I spent some time and caught up, it's been hell trying to make time with a full time job and gym 😭

[tame bane]

AoC is good because it's given me a lot of opportunites to do stuff i've been ignoring like ELK!

[mellow gull]

I joined THM during this AoC having never heard of it and having had no idea what it was until a little over a week ago

But it's been very fun

[grizzled wing]

🏋️ is important, i go as well

[topaz topaz]

guys, if I have minimal THM experience and finish AoC, does that put me in a good spot to learn more advanced stuff?

It feels like it's holding my hand a lot and i don't know if i'm actually learning

[glass nest]

Yes

[topaz topaz]

It's an excellent hobby to have, 5 days a week is a must for me

[mellow gull]

AoC lets you dip your toes into some pretty complicated topics. It's guided very well but you get some interesting wedges in your brain box.

[glass nest]

Look at this way - Yes, it's holding your hand. But which subjects did you find genuinly interesting?

Gaww - Potato wedges?

[topaz topaz]

Honestly all of them, even the log monitoring 😂

@topaz topaz if you are known in how linux works as in cli and so. then yu can learn a lot without being confused when in terminal

[glass nest]

I agree. Although I found that three is my limit. Any more than that, and I don't really use them

[topaz topaz]

100%'d both KCD and Cyberpunk

[topaz topaz]

I barely have a use for two 😭

[glass nest]

THM on 1 screen, VM on the other 🙂

[topaz topaz]

Back when I had the illusion of free time I spent a ton of time on open world games, Cyberpunk and KCD were top of the list

[void tangle]

You need one more for discord

[topaz topaz]

You'll make me mount my second unused monitor on my wall 😭

[blazing granite]

The most I worked was 4

[sudden marlin]

hey I'm a new member here

How's everyone doing?

[glass nest]

If theres a use for them, then yeah. But for my daily everyday, Nah

[void tangle]

[glass nest]

Living the dream, A

[mellow gull]

I do like the tri-monitor setup. Kind of allows me to divest my attention more properly between tasks rather than having a bunch of stuff on one screen

[sudden marlin]

i wanna know a little about the things that happen here, if y'all don't mind can someone tell me

[magic frost]

hanged my unusued one, put a pi on it and with Dakboard I have useful information being there like calendar events, weather and some other interesting things I want to have in sighty

[sudden marlin]

wish i could say the same

[glass nest]

A - Best way to find out, is to ask 🙂

[sudden marlin]

hey donke

[void tangle]

hiii

[grizzled wing]

🦖

[topaz topaz]

That's such an amazing idea

[blazing granite]

hey I'm a new member here. I'm GNU-Rex

[grizzled wing]

haha

[sudden marlin]

ahaha dad jokes, funny TwT

[blazing granite]

🥦 👋

[grizzled wing]

new as in the Jurassic era

[sudden marlin]

Nice to meet you gnu rex

[glass nest]

Is it?

thats a first

😄

[void tangle]

I cant fathom that 100 years from now I won't be here on discord chatting with you folks

[magic frost]

why not?

[blazing granite]

I'm a bit of an acquired taste 😛 😂

[void tangle]

because I'll turn into a skeleton by then

[mellow gull]

Statistically in 100 years you probably won't have decomposed enough to be merely a skeleton

[magic frost]

haven't you heard all the AI grifters? AI is gonna make us immortal

[topaz topaz]

100 years from now you'll be transferred to an AI psyche

You WILL still be on Discord with us !!

[void tangle]

[topaz topaz]

We will all be tormented with the pain and suffering of immortality

[grizzled wing]

so many preservatives

[void tangle]

I dont want to pay taxes forever

no immortality for me

[mellow gull]

You won't have to worry about taxes.

[topaz topaz]

You can make that change today

[mellow gull]

Your psyche's processing power will be siphoned to run a massive cryptocoin circuit

[void tangle]

xD

[topaz topaz]

You will be utilized to mine the cryptochain mines for eternity

What do you think is extracting all those tasty bitcoins right now?

[magic frost]

the conscience yearns for the mines

[topaz topaz]

the $100k coin.... It's here

[void tangle]

You can buy a house with 3 bitcoins

[meager hawk]

WOOT made [0xD]

[grizzled wing]

febert 🎉

[void tangle]

[topaz topaz]

The one that I'm building needs more than 2 😭

[magic frost]

an old one in my city maybe unless they renovated it then you need 4

[topaz topaz]

Crazy how our grandparents built houses for the cost of a loaf of bread and 3 pieces of gum

[void tangle]

xD

[grizzled wing]

North Korea target crypto coins

[mellow gull]

As part of my day job I'm an NPC in the newest hit shooter game. I remember feeling all the pain every time I get ran over, or blown up, or thrown out of my car... The agony remains as a digital ghost in the back of my consciousness, but the end never comes — I just keep respawning. Sometimes I get a break, during peak hours the game won't process entities when players aren't looking directly at them, so I cease to exist and the pain takes a backseat to the wanderings of my immortal mind.

[shell peak]

And their pay was cent per day

[meager hawk]

sound more like construction matrials than payment

[topaz topaz]

Materials & wages

the wages are a big thorn as well, especially where I live as there's way more demand at this moment in time

[void tangle]

Imagine NPC started revolting

[magic frost]

also in that era people had few posessions and traveling meant going to visit some family or a day trip at most overseas stuff was reserved for the rich

[meager hawk]

sounds like more than a few audio books ive read (a series called "npc's" comes to ming )

[topaz topaz]

Didn't ryan renolds do just that?

[magic frost]

I mean, we do not smell that bad

[void tangle]

Time to stop procrastinating so I can finish my linux fundamentals

[topaz topaz]

fr, I gotta eat and catch up with the tasks

See yall

[magic frost]

cya

[void tangle]

[remote swallow]

Very important and also very interesting

[void tangle]

Cant wait to become linux god

[remote swallow]

You reading a book on linux fundamentals ?

[void tangle]

I'm doing my presecurity room

[mellow gull]

When everyone's a god...

[grizzled wing]

you get superpowers

[magic frost]

you grow a long beard

[remote swallow]

I would recommend going through a book if you really wanna grasp linux consepts in details " How linux works , what every super user should know" - Brian ward

[grizzled wing]

unlocks channel rooms you cant see before

[magic frost]

regardless of sex or gender

[void tangle]

Only one and thats me

[remote swallow]

And if you wanna go even further in details read " The linux programming interface" @void tangle

[void tangle]

I'm in the process of getting some books as well 😄

[void tangle]

I'll save that to my wishlist

[void tangle]

[remote swallow]

These 2 are highly recommended as in i read them and by far they were the most usefull books i've read on linux

[sand trench]

got it now... had not updated today before

[loud marlin]

ill update also soon

[void tangle]

Is linux a good OS in terms of cyberstuff? I'm currently using windows and macos.

[magic frost]

a good book to read is Modern Operating Systems by Tanenbaum and Bos

[void tangle]

But I find linux interesting as well

[remote swallow]

If you know what you're doing it's better

[grizzled wing]

Linux is the best !!!!!!

[sand trench]

i.e no background right now and waybar did not start normally from ml4w so had to start it the manual way

[loud marlin]

waybar you can super shift b

[shell peak]

Not worth

[loud marlin]

will restart waybar

[remote swallow]

Jumping to linux while learning it definitely is the way to go

[sand trench]

yeah got waybar back

[remote swallow]

Practice makes you perfect

[loud marlin]

backgrond idk

[remote swallow]

Also imagine installing something by just typing a command and upgrading the entire system by just 3 commands .. Heaven

[dusk notch]

anyone suggest me some good CTF

[remote swallow]

On THM ?

Free or paid ?

[dusk notch]

yes

[dusk notch]

free

[magic frost]

grep -Rin is magic

[remote swallow]

ooo k

[remote swallow]

Well there are many lolz give me a sec i would recommend you some .. What is your level ?

[eager marsh]

I’m done with my questions

[dusk notch]

i am begginer

[eager marsh]

Emphasis on the beg

[mellow gull]

Like, beginner beginner?

[glass nest]

Thats not nice

[mellow gull]

Learning some fundamentals might be better for a start.

[eager marsh]

Neither is anyone these days

[mellow gull]

Rather than diving right into ctfs

[glass nest]

Ah, so you are conforming to the masses? good to know 🙂

[eager marsh]

True, don’t run into ctfs like some kinda headless chicken

[grizzled wing]

walk before you run

[mellow gull]

Vader living up to his namesake fr

[eager marsh]

You gon trip and fall

[grizzled wing]

picoCTF is what i suggest if you want to do CTF but are fresh into it

CTFlearn

[eager marsh]

This is actual good advice. Do picoctf seriously

[mellow gull]

Makin fun of people with a lisp now? Shame, shame, shame

[glass nest]

Overthewire 🙂

[topaz topaz]

Nooo I'm sorry I didn't know Mike Tyson made the room 😭

[eager marsh]

This one also gives good advice

[grizzled wing]

i started with overthewire and John Hamond videos

[eager marsh]

Listen to them

[topaz topaz]

I love bandit!!!!

Level 25 was my favorite

[dusk notch]

thanks dude

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @remote swallow (current: #274 - 22)

[eager marsh]

And don’t listen to me I’m honestly the biggest hater on here.

[remote swallow]

No Problem , Enjoy and if you are stuck it's ok to watch a walkthrough or read a blog

But you have to understand and not just copy paste stuff

[topaz topaz]

Vader pic + hater = total immersion

[eager marsh]

Honestly if you want my advice. Please try to pick a niche

[grizzled wing]

did they do something to your Death Star ?

[remote swallow]

Also if you wanna learn some cool stuff for free go to the search section and filter "free only" and Easy or info

[dusk notch]

i know some fundamentals

[eager marsh]

Too many beginners pick too many things and get suprised when they feel overwhelmed

[rapid merlin]

yahey, so im doing this thing where id have them open the website link and download the app then that app ask for perms and when they did, i get their ip or session rather in metasploit but, i already downloaded the app in my android but still, no session

[grizzled wing]

so many beginner stuff is free

[sick lance]

What are you trying to do?

[dusk notch]

okay

[mellow gull]

There's a lot more tools available for beginners too then there used to be

[eager marsh]

My son and his dumb friends blew it up thanks to some ghost hobo

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #78 - 100)

[rapid merlin]

the reverse tcp kinda thing

[mellow gull]

er

accidental reply lmao

ahahaha

[eager marsh]

I will not forget this

[sick lance]

But for what.

[mellow gull]

Pocket sand! Sha sha!

[grizzled wing]

ever see the videos of you working ata grocery store? very funny

[sand trench]

aaaand got wallpaper working again @loud marlin

[rapid merlin]

to gain access to their cellphone when they download the app kinda like that but im not using it for,... just educational purposes

[sand trench]

had to change the hyprpaper config and then restart hyprpaper

[eager marsh]

Delete those

[grizzled wing]

haha

[loud marlin]

how

[sick lance]

Uh, do you think "for educational" purposes makes it legal?

[grizzled wing]

these ?
https://youtu.be/4wGR4-SeuJ0?feature=shared

[rapid merlin]

im not going to use it to others😔😔

[eager marsh]

That’s how it normally works scrub

[sand trench]

❯ cat hyprpaper.conf
preload = ~/wallpaper/haunted-house.jpg
wallpaper = ,~/wallpaper/haunted-house.jpg
splash = false

[red surge]

wait they changes title from god to legend ?

[sick lance]

You see, I don't know that.

[sand trench]

then killall the instances of hyprpaper and open launcher and type in hyprpaper

[sick lance]

Yeah.

[red surge]

Abosolutly love it 😄

[loud marlin]

ill try after i update. might fix

[sand trench]

obviously change the wallpaper location

[mellow gull]

We can't help people with stuff that is practically exclusively used for unethical purposes.

[rapid merlin]

even if i do, its still sus for them, app store automatically decline an app that's sus sooo i dont think it'll be a problem

[eager marsh]

I am a god

[sick lance]

Please leave it to mods

[grizzled wing]

i didn't notice until now

[mellow gull]

👌 Understood

[eager marsh]

Hurry up with my damn croissants

[rapid merlin]

The chocolate orange McFlurry is pretty good

[grizzled wing]

golden arches

[sick lance]

Nah, it doesn't quite work like that, Android exploitation isn't just download and have remote access,

And we won't be helping any further, as I don't think you have legal/ethical outcomes in mind.

@dusk notch What's up?

[silver sky]

Ho ho ho

[rapid merlin]

bruv it does metasploit is built for that

[silver sky]

💀
