general

[sinful moon]

you should never have to use sudo with startx

[knotty cargo]

Im panicked i forgot what i was doing lol

[loud marlin]

what you try install at first lol

[knotty cargo]

Sudo or not all same thing

I got so much work on this dang

[sinful moon]

startx depends on your having an ~/.xinitrc in place

[knotty cargo]

Lemme check

No i domt have

[sinful moon]

if you don't it's just going to use a generic one from /etc/skel or similar

so yeah you probably just launched into TWM lol

[loud marlin]

https://packages.debian.org/buster/libnm0 is this what you install. or what command you run to do what ever you try to do ?

[sinful moon]

more the point, why would you be installing the 32bit version of that library manually in the first place?

[knotty cargo]

Yes this but the 32 bit version

[sinful moon]

yes why

[knotty cargo]

Oh yeah i remembered

I was trying to install libnm0 1.36.4 version or so

[sinful moon]

There honestly should be no reason

[knotty cargo]

And apt told me that the package does not exist and is refered as libnm0:i386

I also went on another computer

[sinful moon]

Okay why were you installing the library manually in the first place?

just freaking install NetworkManager and whatever modern deps it has

[knotty cargo]

I downloaded libnm0 1.36.6 and network-manager packages and tried installing them on the ubuntu, it strangely says this is not a debian package format, although installed from the official pool and all .deb extension

[loud marlin]

remove/purge network mngr and reinstall it

[knotty cargo]

No internet

[loud marlin]

you have terminal ?

[sinful moon]

you can easily get internet without network manager

[knotty cargo]

Yes

[sinful moon]

do you have ethernet connection?

[knotty cargo]

I got it and it says its not a debian format

[sinful moon]

just freaking dhcpcd and go if so

[knotty cargo]

I downloaded it from the ubuntu repo lmo

[loud marlin]

cann you run in it sudo systemctl status NetworkManager

[sinful moon]

and then you can install Network Manager as normal

[knotty cargo]

Not installed

[sinful moon]

then whatever dhcp client you have

If you have ethernet you are far from without internet, you just don't have a DHCP lease

[sinful moon]

Or if you prefer, temporarly set up a static IP

[loud marlin]

do command i wrote

[sinful moon]

oh so you do literally have it

[knotty cargo]

Also no ethernet interface on ifconfig

[sinful moon]

do what alexander said

[knotty cargo]

Apt says its not installed

[loud marlin]

sudo systemctl status NetworkManager

[sinful moon]

No NetworkManager

[knotty cargo]

In the photo above

[sinful moon]

it's literally installed

[naive violet]

ip link ?

[loud marlin]

oh

[sinful moon]

sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

then use the command line GUI they provide to connect

which is...

[loud marlin]

then sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager and the sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

[naive violet]

Could be missing drivers for the hardware, not sure

Enp is there

So should be fine

As in should fully work

What distro is it?

[sinful moon]

it could also just not be "up"

[loud marlin]

when you run iwctl do you got anything. like new looking shell

[sinful moon]

actually it's likely enp7s0

[naive violet]

Yeah it's down, but it might not set itself and autodetect etc

[knotty cargo]

Ubuntu 22.04 lts

[naive violet]

Desktop or server?

[knotty cargo]

Not found

Although i was using it before this crap happend

[knotty cargo]

Desktop

I just installed libnm0:i386 then no display manager

Right away

[naive violet]

...where's your UI?
Oh well

Might just have to manually configure it.
Cable plugged in? Link light on the port?

[sinful moon]

idk why Network Manager would be masked. I do have solutions but I don't want to suggust that until we see more

[loud marlin]

then try sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager then sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager. and if that goes ok. enable it again nad start it

[naive violet]

Probably uninstalled a bunch of stuff inadvertently

[sinful moon]

yeah I'm highly sus about the installing of 32bit Network Manager libs

probably broke your 64bit Network Manager

[naive violet]

And DE by extension

[sinful moon]

lol apperently so

[knotty cargo]

Apt tricked me

Apt u piece of crap

[sinful moon]

No you tricked yourself into installing 32bit libs, apt was pretty clear lol

i386 refers to pre-Pentium intel processors, indicating support for 32bit

[knotty cargo]

Why would network manager deb downloaded from ubuntu repo be corrupted

[clear jackal]

It's not

[sinful moon]

because you downloaded a 32bit version amongst your 64bit install

[clear jackal]

You're not reading

[knotty cargo]

Hmm

[sinful moon]

I'd be curious why you thought you had to install this in the first place if Network Manager was working just fine previously

[knotty cargo]

Im curious too lol

I totally forgot

[naive violet]

Usually a big warning saying these packages will be removed

[rapid merlin]

I I just used this filter and I’m just saying I might end up with more ear piercings

[knotty cargo]

I already removed it

[knotty cargo]

Wait rly

I didnt read

Sheeet

[sinful moon]

Yes, you can not just blindly say Y to every [Y/n]

[knotty cargo]

It probably missed everything up

[naive violet]

Hopefully a lesson learned

[shell peak]

Arent 32 libs also supported on 64?

[sinful moon]

Yes they are but who knows what happened here

[naive violet]

Not always

If they conflict etc

[sinful moon]

well that's fair too, mhmm

[naive violet]

Libraries vs packages too

[sinful moon]

they are often instanced into lib32, but not always

[knotty cargo]

The really hard way

I miss my perfect distro 😭

[shell peak]

Packet manager would resolve such issues

[knotty cargo]

I never switched a distro in 2 years

[shell peak]

I doubt its lib architecture thats the problem

[naive violet]

Yep, it did.
By uninstalling a bunch of stuff.

[sinful moon]

just get networking going again one way or another and reinstall Network Manager lol

[naive violet]

It's not the direct problem, it's the root cause

[high kindle]

Can someone tell me how to get the pass in annoforce or just use anonymous

[naive violet]

Wat

[knotty cargo]

I tried everything

[shell peak]

By bunch of stuff u mean the already existing libs and replaced it with the ones from current apt installation

[naive violet]

If you're asking for help with a tryhackme room, please use #room-help @high kindle

[knotty cargo]

No new interface showing on the ifconfig

[naive violet]

Yeah, they purged a bunch of software that they shouldn't have

[knotty cargo]

Im just raging about dpkg refusing to install a deb package saying its corrupted

Although its straight from ubuntu repo

[shell peak]

Send a ss of ur ifconfig output

[naive violet]

Ifconfig is deprecated.
Your interface shows up in ip link, try ip addr

[clear jackal]

Is ifconfig still in Ubuntu? I thought it was deprecated

[naive violet]

Present sometimes but deprecated

[knotty cargo]

Here @shell peak

[sinful moon]

ip a is prefered

[clear jackal]

OK, that's what I thought

[naive violet]

They probably just need to manuallh configure it with ip address

[sinful moon]

same thing, just more verbose typing wise

[knotty cargo]

Well ip addr is showing my ethernet and wifi

[clear jackal]

Could also do it through nmcli

[shell peak]

James whats up with that reaction

[naive violet]

What's it showing?

[knotty cargo]

But i tried hooking up ethernet but doesnt eork

[sinful moon]

nope, their Network Manager is borked

all they need is dhcp lease

and no dhcpcd apperently

[naive violet]

Again, cable plugged in? Link light on the port?

[knotty cargo]

No lights on my laptop

[naive violet]

...layer 1 issue.

[sinful moon]

yeah it again just needs a valid dhcp client of some kind and he'll be set to at least install packages locally again

[naive violet]

No link light is baaad

[knotty cargo]

Its working on another pc

[shell peak]

What os is this

[naive violet]

Even without dhcp you should have a linklight

[knotty cargo]

Also the pc has light

[sinful moon]

Ubuntu Desktop 22.04

[knotty cargo]

Ubuntu

[shell peak]

Reinstall it

[knotty cargo]

Maybe its hidden inside the chassis lol

[naive violet]

That's the easy answer

[mossy river]

So close to getting around Win7 login screen without password

[knotty cargo]

Bro was too clear 💀

[naive violet]

Sethc

[sinful moon]

Yeah kind of can't complain

[shell peak]

U fucked something up, simplest answer is to reinstall it

[knotty cargo]

Bro ive been configuring this to perfection i cant simply reinstall

[naive violet]

Oh and learn from it, then it's a valuable experience

[mossy river]

I’m there, just keep on getting a weird error

Decided to go for dinner and take a vreak

[sinful moon]

while we could dick around with troubleshooting, you yourself don't know what you've done so it would be easier to get a fresh start

[shell peak]

U clearly didnt configure it to perfection

[sinful moon]

alright then back up your dot files to a flash drive, done

[knotty cargo]

Makes sense in a way..

Then, this is the point of giving up

It was a rly bad day

[sinful moon]

if there's any dot files you critically need, they're trivial to back up

[boreal scarab]

@glass nest @loud marlin That document camera arm, he's putting it up on Printables soon, once he does, he'll be sending me the link for it.

[knotty cargo]

Thank you guys for trying to help me

[sinful moon]

no problem

[boreal scarab]

Wow, didn't know you printed yourself in the morning

[sinful moon]

I always back up my .zshrc, .vimrc and .tmuxrc but yeah it varies per user

I typically don't back up most of my graphical stuff since that's trivial to recreate

[knotty cargo]

Let me try fedora out

[naive violet]

Consider github for dotfiles

[sinful moon]

I saw you typing, if you don't use zsh, vim, or tmux, don't listen to me

[shell peak]

Boooo

[sinful moon]

I have but I don't have much need. Mostly they live on our NAS

[knotty cargo]

Looking at the good side, its a good time to try distros

[sinful moon]

and I have dozens of computers with them if that ever has an issue lol

[loud marlin]

yea... i look nice afresh and rdy to make problems

[naive violet]

@rotund belfry Hey, a mod asked you to do this in a specific way due to ethical and legal concerns.
Please don't discuss it here further

[sinful moon]

plus sometimes my .zshrc gets a bit more platform specific like on this Mac

[naive violet]

Mostly aimed at them, NAS is a nice solution though

[naive violet]

Git repo on nas, branches for mac etc, ezpz

[sinful moon]

If they're having these issues I'm not sure git would be my first recommendation but totally fair!

[knotty cargo]

I know that kali is a rolling distro but just curious can i get to install an older kernel on it ?

In a way or another

[sinful moon]

Kali is also not a general use distro

it's a tool solely for infosec

[glass nest]

🫡 General Use Distro

[sinful moon]

so don't install it as a general use Linux machine

[naive violet]

...why?

[knotty cargo]

Ive a bootable kali and i keep using it and it is good

[little siren]

i still run it dualboot, nothing has blown up yet

i hate vms

[knotty cargo]

It just comes with the tools and saves some time

[naive violet]

Why an older kernel?

[sinful moon]

That's fine, just as long as no one comes to us and asks "how to install Steam on Kali" I'm fine lol

[knotty cargo]

My laptop is old and wifi + nvidia drivers only install on old GA kernel

[half girder]

or worse... how to install wine to make office 365 work xD

[sinful moon]

lolol oh god

i can't tell you how many of the above Steam requests I've had to answers tho in another server, it was hell lol

still the worst I've ever seen tho was "help my bro installed kali on Arch Linux and everything is broken"... Um what...?

Turns out his "bro" installed apt on Arch and used it to run a script that installed all Kali packages, and then wondered why his Arch install was borked

[knotty cargo]

Lool

[glass nest]

It's Arch. do anything, and it's borked.

[knotty cargo]

Lets see what to bsckup

[sinful moon]

lol you hush

[glass nest]

Don't do anything, and... it's borked

[sinful moon]

I've been using Arch since 2008 without issue

[knotty cargo]

Project files that wont ever be completed

[glass nest]

Yeah, well.. Thats cos you are 1337

[sinful moon]

lol and pay attention to what my package manager is telling me

[hearty trout]

hi

[knotty cargo]

Can anybody tell me whats wrong eith the number 1337 i see it everywhere

[sinful moon]

I even fixed issues that Arch News warned about just by already knowing how, doing the same exact fix they recommened

good stuff

[rugged kayak]

it means leet short for elite

kinda

[knotty cargo]

Ahh

[hearty trout]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-and-morty-drink-hmmm-gif-4546734

[knotty cargo]

What arch provides better than others ?

Should i give it a tryb?

[sinful moon]

Don't even think about it just yet

[opaque flax]

1337 speak is good speak

[sinful moon]

Only use it if you want to mess with low level Linux and build from the ground up

it's not for everyone

[half girder]

https://tenor.com/view/arch-linux-arch-linux-gif-25380879

[knotty cargo]

Yes not for me..

[glass nest]

And if you have a few screws loose

Yeah, I said it 😄

[knotty pendant]

hi

[knotty cargo]

I just want a linux that works

[sinful moon]

Yes Ubuntu or Fedora is just fine

[half girder]

how about freebsd?

[sinful moon]

FreeBSD is lovely, but same kind of vibe as Arch

most need to know how it actually works

[knotty cargo]

Yes i will give it a try too

In the grave..

[half girder]

its a solid os 😮

[sinful moon]

I personally am all about FreeBSD, but yeah far from my first recommendation to someone who's strugglign with Linux

[knotty cargo]

I cant remember to this moment why i was installing the libnm thing

[half girder]

its cool to say "i use freebsd" and avoid the endless distribution discussions, cause i highly doubt someone actively uses netbsd or so here lol

[sinful moon]

Yeah even in the BSD world, I'm more than happy with just FreeBSD

very comfy for an Arch user with so many similar conecepts due to Arch's inspirations

[knotty cargo]

Ah yes

Wait

I remembered

I was trying to install kismet

[sinful moon]

Yes why did you install that network manager library on its own?

[knotty cargo]

[sinful moon]

lolololol

are you for real

[half girder]

Oo

[knotty cargo]

And i copied and pasted depedencies from somewhere

[sinful moon]

no part of that should have implicated a random Network Manager library

ouch what

no

that's your fatal mistake

that's what your package manager, apt is for

it handles dependances for you

[glass nest]

Haha, love it.

[sinful moon]

you were probably working off of two decade old info

[shell peak]

Sure

[knotty cargo]

Next time it will say "package * will be removed, press Y to continue" and ill be going with it loool

[shell peak]

If u r a beginner u can use their bash script

[sinful moon]

yeah, instead press N and think harder lol

[half girder]

you made tux cry.

is kismet even still a thing? i thought the wardriving years are over?

[sinful moon]

also to be clear all you had to do is sudo apt install kismet

and done

[knotty cargo]

Ill take the positive side of it and try out some distros before sticking to a one

[naive violet]

Wardriving, which doesn't include attacking networks, is still going

[knotty cargo]

Although i got work to do

[naive violet]

Wireless surveys etc

[shell peak]

U should stick with debian for some time

[sinful moon]

Yeah it and aircrack-ng are still very much useful

[shell peak]

Until u get used to linux distros

[half girder]

ah ok, i didnt hear of anyone doing that for like ages

[knotty cargo]

I was doing a wireless lesson on HTB and i went to play with wifi tools

Legally for sure

[sinful moon]

partially because WPA2 is much more of a pain to crack

yeah just use an old router you own

WEP takes less than 5 minutes to crack

[knotty cargo]

Yeah my next distro is either a kali or ubuntu again

[half girder]

could be fun to use some old attacks like caffelatte

[knotty cargo]

But i hate when snap on ubuntu installs me broken dependencies

"apt install firefox"

"installing firefox snap..."

[sinful moon]

if you do apt it shouldn't install snaps I didn't think

I thought that was only through their "store"

[knotty cargo]

It does it

And its annoying

Thats the only downside about ubuntu

[half girder]

jep, when you use the "storemanager" for the initial installation

[sinful moon]

of coruse the only place I only actually use Ubuntu anymore is Ubuntu Server at work so idk

oh that is part of it then

[knotty cargo]

Wait why not go debian itself

[naive violet]

Yea it does now

[sinful moon]

Noting wrong with that, beyond slightly older packages

[naive violet]

The apt package is a like shim for snaps, Firefox etc

[sinful moon]

Very gross

Guess I'm glad Ubuntu Server is the only form I still interact with it via

[knotty cargo]

Let me hook up to our neigbor's FTTH to download debian lol

(hes cool with it)

[sinful moon]

Ubuntu stop trying to make Snap happen, everyone agreed on AppImages and etc

anyways in homelab news, moving my ESXi/vSphere config over to Proxmox, what a suprise :p

really only have one VM I need to preserve though, it's just taking forever to copy

[final jacinth]

interesting choice of black text on a dark background

[knotty cargo]

The other day i copied my whole OS to a bigger disk using clonezilla and it suprisingly worked

Disk upgrade made easy

[sinful moon]

I mean is that your dark reader extension doing so potentially?

[sick lance]

#site-bugs please.

[sinful moon]

Oh didn't relize it was literally THM

[sick lance]

Yes, it's the new darkmode.

Some text don't invert, and super script looks un-readable.

[sinful moon]

Yeah I'm extremely happy with it so far

[final jacinth]

imma post it into site-bugs, sorry

[sick lance]

Appreciated.

[final jacinth]

but looks like you are aware already 😄

[sick lance]

Yup 😄

[shell peak]

Why not just plain debian

[sinful moon]

been waiting several years and yep it looks great

Yeah that was already discussed

[knotty cargo]

I literally said it after lool

[sinful moon]

If you don't need bleeding edge software, not a ton of reason not to go with Debian. Just may be several years before your software gets non-security updates

[knotty cargo]

Ubuntu is dEbIaN baSed with sNaP, while debian is just debian

[knotty cargo]

I just do cyber security studying on it with a little bit of battlefield 2 using wine

[sinful moon]

One thing I will warn if you go Debian tho, never mix Ubuntu custom repos with Debian

or else you end up with Frankendebian

[knotty cargo]

Ooo great point

[shell peak]

What exactly r u doing in cybersec

[exotic vector]

I really like Debian but because I game when I go back to linux I will need to use something on the bleeding edge again

[sinful moon]

honestly cybersec tools benefit from frequent updates, but yeah, depends on your needs

[knotty cargo]

Ubuntu schwarzenegger

Lol

[grizzled wing]

gigachad is back

[sinful moon]

Personally I use rolling release distros which always get the latest software but may be a bit more unstable as a result

[knotty cargo]

University study + HTB modules and random THM rooms

[grizzled wing]

that doesnt answer the question

[knotty cargo]

Gigachad is back but with a problem this time lol

[sinful moon]

If you really need tho, just have a Kali VM or boot on the side

[knotty cargo]

Ikr lol

[shell peak]

Bloat

[exotic vector]

Yeah I had to move back to windows for a bit because I was getting instability and was worried I had hardware failure. But yeah it's not hardware failure, just the distro I was on was unstable

[sinful moon]

lol, fair enough

[grizzled wing]

unless its Arch then it is labelled "bloat"

[sinful moon]

can't say that's an issue I've had on rolling release, but that's just me. And yeah rolling relase is not for everyone

[shell peak]

How is kali not bloat

[sinful moon]

Because it's a tool deployed by professional pentesters. Can always just boot from a USB or something

[grizzled wing]

have you seen Parrot or the other cyber sec VM?

[shell peak]

U r getting a sea of packages ull probably never use

[knotty cargo]

4gb ram wont run a VM will it ?

[shell peak]

Yeah

[sinful moon]

whew ouch, no, not anything modern

[grizzled wing]

[opaque flax]

That’s the right docs

[red surge]

Hey quick question did anyone try business SOC simulator ? I think could be valuble tool for drilling ?

[shell peak]

Theres are a very few challanges that r re/binexp oriented

[glass nest]

Ok, Maybe I phrased my advice wrong. Use your skills of solving challenges, and tell me why you think the admins of this server made those channels restricted

[sinful moon]

Yeah I don't mind the restrictions and think it's for the best, given the beginner friendly nature of this chat

[red surge]

In the real world typical without doing any exercises you can't really get a good training. There are not so many incidents, even so they are blocked by ATPs and EDRs heh.

[sinful moon]

I couldn't have shared that link I with just a single disclamer here viably

[mossy river]

Finally I got into the laptop

[glass nest]

Agreed. I'm just wanting to get this persons thoughts on how it woiuld be 'braindead'. You know me, Ellie. always willing to learn something new 🙂

[shell peak]

Why would there even be a disclaimer

[glass nest]

for the same reason the advanced channels are restricted.

[shell peak]

And what reason is that

[mossy river]

Turns out there were two colons on the keyboard and one of them wasn’t recognised by windows 😭

[glass nest]

which for some reason, you can't won't answer me 😦

[shell peak]

Im the one waiting for answer

[sinful moon]

lol why are you still going

[glass nest]

I see. Ok, Maybe I phrased my advice wrong. Use your skills of solving challenges, and tell me why you think the admins of this server made those channels restricted.

So... Whaddya reckon?

[shell peak]

So u have no clue

[sinful moon]

just reach the highest rank or do some network rooms and you'lll be set

[glass nest]

Looking for your thoughts on it.

[sinful moon]

it's because normies shouldn't have access to malware engineering or reversing info until they're ready, and especially related to the topic of this convo, live samples

[half girder]

esqy .. muiri already pointed out in a former discussion regarding that, that his intension was never to block that topic here in that chat lol and he made the rule

[glass nest]

Aye. Just wondering what Osiris thought, and why it's 'braindead' to restrict it.

[half girder]

well i understand it that people should be protected from it.. yes.. absolutely..

[quasi hedge]

Accidentally running live samples of malware is a great way to start the day

[sinful moon]

yep lol

not something we really want to support

[shell peak]

Lmao tf u mean until they r ready? If those "normies" cant even understand nor read the code, how r they gonna utilize it?

[sinful moon]

until you or similar cryptolocker your machine acciently

[opaque flax]

It’s not hard to accidentally execute malware in an improper environment if you don’t know what you’re doing

[shell peak]

I mean if u see a channel named malware-samples u r not going to run binaries from there

[loud marlin]

@grizzled wing here is kinda dome theme of nautilus

[half girder]

however when someone isnt smart enough to not run malicious samples on his/her computer, i think these people have other problems

[shell peak]

U dont need any enlightenment for that

[glass nest]

So.. you have no idea why those channels would be restricted?

[shell peak]

I see why u r doing it just think its not needed at all

[glass nest]

Ok ok. So, you've been oin here for a couple of weeks, right?

[opaque flax]

I literally saw a post from r/viruses or something the other day where someone claimed to have run viruses on their computer for fun and broke it and was asking why the computer broke

[quasi hedge]

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein

Accidentally running malware is easier than you think

[half girder]

yikes lol

[shell peak]

Yeah thats right

[glass nest]

So.. You've seen people being banned. Whats the most common reason for people being banned on here?

[rugged kayak]

you underestimate the stupidity factor

[sick lance]

#exploit-and-mal-studies

@shell peak When a mod has told a member not this channel, please don't then post suggestions.

[shell peak]

Dunno, whats the reason?

[sick lance]

That's just ignorant.

[sinful moon]

whew this is still going?

[glass nest]

Well, from my experience, it's people coming on here wanting to perform illegal or unethical actions. Such as revenge, 'fun' or some other reason. Would it be responsible to give access to a chatroom where these subjects are being discussed?

[queen niche]

heyyyyy

[shell peak]

Whats the difference between giving him the answer here or in dms? He has the "clearance" for such knowledge

[queen niche]

hi

[opaque flax]

Hey hey

[queen niche]

whats up amazing hackers

[half girder]

the fact someone does, or wdym?

[sinful moon]

I already provided the user who asked with the information required, so who cares lol

[sick lance]

Many in this channel does not.

[rugged kayak]

hello

[autumn solar]

Why do you believe security engineers won't disclose bugs until the original software designers have at least completed a working patch?

[red surge]

Might ask this here aswell:

Do you think if completing Offensive Security path is enough to start OSCP labs right away or should I go to HTB after I am done for some additional experience ?
Also how much is coding/scripting a factor in OSCP anyone knows ?

[sick lance]

More of a point of breaking the rules?

That's my reason.

[sinful moon]

No in the correct channel silly

[sand trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk_qg-_mFtQ

what is this business strat called???

where you ban people from being customers

[shell peak]

Dude theres a difference between sharing 0days and sharing common knowledge about certain topic

[quasi hedge]

By any chance could you answer my question in #exploit-and-mal-studies

[shell peak]

2 different things

[queen niche]

does anyone down for some king of the hill ?

[sick lance]

The whole mindset of "Someone running something they don't know".

[autumn solar]

From a standpoint of destructive potential, yes, but is it really so different from a standpoint of responsibility?

I would claim no

[shell peak]

How so

Everyone has right to a freedom of information

At certain degree of course

[glass nest]

a certain degree?

[red surge]

Clasified information xD

[shell peak]

Yeah like gov secrets

[half girder]

when someone actively looks for these things, has several warnings to not execute something, the package is even encrypted, and someone still executes it .. sorry, i stick to my statement. however i agree that it shouldnt be promoted.

[glass nest]

Or something thats potentially dangersou to them or other?

I agree 😄

[rugged kayak]

why would you give someone with intent to do something malicious tools to do it

[autumn solar]

Is it truly responsible to just release something in the name of freedom of information knowing that someone might wreck themselves or someone else with it?

[shell peak]

Depends about what something r we talking about here

[rugged kayak]

morality vs legality

[opaque flax]

Is this conversation still about the advanced channels? It feels like a lot of effort for some discord channels

[queen niche]

any one ? !!!

[glass nest]

I feel like you agree with everything we are saying, TheOsis, apart from the fact that you can't get into the advanced channels, where the things being discussed could potentially be used to do bad things

[past sparrow]

One of my customers ran malicious sample in prod work environment, said he wanted to investigate it 🥲 Sometimes common sense is not so common

[shell peak]

To what exactly am i agreeing with u

[glass nest]

hey.fdg - If you verify your account, you can get access to #koth

TheOsis - that some information should not be freely given.

[half girder]

lesson learned afterwards 😉

[shell peak]

Yeah some, not basics of malware re

[autumn solar]

https://youtu.be/_asNhzXq72w?si=6LVcqwHGdQAtzpw7

[glass nest]

What do you want to know about that subject for?

[loud marlin]

btw @glass nest mask that i print is done...

[past sparrow]

I am not sure he learned anything from it, I am just glad EDRs are powerful enough to stop stupid people from doing most of those things

[shell peak]

Im pretty familiar with the subject

[glass nest]

ralex - the wolf mask?

[loud marlin]

y

[half girder]

at my employer, he could have taken his papers and go lol

[loud marlin]

oh i tag you up there

[visual elm]

finally finished SOC Level 1, just in time to beat my self-imposed new year's deadline for it ✌️😄

[glass nest]

Thats good. So why do you need those channels?

😄

[opaque flax]

Congrats!

[glass nest]

Good work, Duckrabbit!

[past sparrow]

That's quite risk conscious employer, sometimes sadly their other skills compensate for their stupidity

[shell peak]

I dont need them im just curious why restrict such channels from others

[glass nest]

From others who havn't demonstrated they are responsible and/or only here to learn.

I can see why.

[rugged kayak]

would you want your average joe to have codes that launch nuclear missiles

[sick lance]

They require more than just codes.

[sand trench]

@loud marlin ghostty is out to the public now... go have fun

[half girder]

yea we have a high standard on data protection, you cant just do things there, technically everything is monitored and restricted

[shell peak]

And how r they gonna demonstrate that they r responsible? By solving a couple of rooms? Come on u can give a better answer than that

[rugged kayak]

i mean it as metaphor

[glass nest]

Scrubz - Yeah, according to a judge, they'd need Kevin Mitnick to whistle down a phone 😄

[autumn solar]

Hypothetical codes lol

[past sparrow]

Same about my environment, really happy for it, but yeah, customers do customer things 😄

[sick lance]

Keys.

[shell peak]

But we are not talking about that lmfoa

[glass nest]

theosis - Yep. by solving a lot of rooms. Th show they are actually here to learn. or by getting certain certs

[grizzled wing]

that was a clue on DefCon hacker jeopardy

[rugged kayak]

malware in hands of someone dumb to use it is quite similar

[half girder]

absolutely

[shell peak]

How does that show that u r responsible

[rotund belfry]

you mean to break the TOS, i just wanna know if there's anyway i can access to the data i want (all of my saved posts/collections) legally, when i looked it out, there's no method to transfer collections from one user to another,

so yes

[glass nest]

Well, it certainly shows you are here to learn.

[sick lance]

Yes, there is.

By asking Meta for it.

[glass nest]

and the certs show you are making career progress in a meaningful way

[rugged kayak]

unlike people that come here just for "how to hack instagram" type of question

[glass nest]

Zactly.

(Spoiler alert: they likely can't :D)

[past sparrow]

That's the half the DMs I get from strangers 😃

[half girder]

they are fun ^^

[rugged kayak]

i dont doubt that

[rotund belfry]

where, you know how meta is, they don't respond with shit, most of their product are shit (fb ads, ig ads & no way to contact them)

i don't know how to do so so yea

[shell peak]

I dont see a lot of speds/coms in here

[past sparrow]

Other half is "Is this your steam account?"

[sick lance]

There is setting...

I've done it

[half girder]

you can request an api token, i dont know whether they still do for free

[glass nest]

Dunno what a 'sped/coms' is, but the people who ask that.. generally don't stay here long 🙂

[rugged kayak]

well yea but its always someone with malicios intent that wants "haxx" but doesnt want to learn anything

gets annoying after a while honestly

most of them are clout chasers

[glass nest]

Sloboda - Bear with it. Becomes funny again after a while 😄

[shell peak]

If u ban them that easily then why restrict the channels at all lmfao

[rugged kayak]

they quit very quickly

[half girder]

yea, block button or just poking a mod to take care of ^^

[sick lance]

Eh?

[rugged kayak]

really?

[rotund belfry]

that's for graph api, it doesn't have dealing with collections, it's for professional accounts (to keep track of messages & stuff, responding to messages...)

[glass nest]

Might take a while though 😄

My fave is when someone asks, and the whol chat goes silent for like 10 mins...

[rotund belfry]

did you get everything, like the posts (images or urls) the saved posts (collections), i saw somewhere that you also get every message you sent & received

[shell peak]

If those people dont stay here long thenbwhy restrict channels at all

[sick lance]

I got my entire data.

[rotund belfry]

okay then, i trust your word for it

[rugged kayak]

serves them right honestly

[sick lance]

Warning it took 7 days

[sick lance]

We don't discuss hacking accounts In advanced xha

[glass nest]

Well, Because they only want one thing. to do a bad thing. If they think theyll get excluded very quickly, they might hang around just to get there. Having a high-ish bar for access is a form of evidence that they're not just wanting that one thing

[sick lance]

Channels

[shell peak]

I doubt they gonna go thru all the trouble just to get the same resources and knowledge they could get by googling

[glass nest]

Exactly. Hence why they are restricted.

Which means we are not supporting them in their neferious deeds, even by accident

[shell peak]

It aint that deep

[rugged kayak]

bro you dont give away assault rifles for free to everyone on the street

[glass nest]

I mean... It is.

[sick lance]

We can't control what users do outside this server.

[rugged kayak]

but you can control what they have access to

[sick lance]

Not externally

[shell peak]

How so? No difference where they get it, they gonna get it anyway

[glass nest]

Yeah. But not from here.

[rugged kayak]

this ^^

[glass nest]

Because we are ethical here

[shell peak]

So at the end of the day it aint really that deep they getting it anyway

[uneven swallow]

dpends on the mood really

[half girder]

plus educational platform .. not "learn to hack your ex gf insta" xD

[rugged kayak]

i would assume it would be quite hit for reputation if this place became know for distributing malware

[opaque flax]

So we don’t have to supply it to them. Restricting the channels also isn’t that deep

[rugged kayak]

and not just reputation

[sick lance]

Not at all.

[glass nest]

If you feel that a company protecting it's integrity is shallow, then that's on you 🙂

[lost birch]

Hey hey hey

[glass nest]

Synapse! Purple now, eh? Gratz 😄

I like that purple. It's not as garish as the Nitro purple

[shut hawk]

the new wallace and grmoit film is an absolute master piece

https://tenor.com/view/wallace-and-gromit-feathers-mcgraw-handheld-mirror-looking-in-mirror-red-rubber-glove-gif-9634808556219473500

[lost birch]

Sorry I said hey and left for a sec lol

[rotund belfry]

btw i didn't mean to come as the typical 'hacking an account' or whatsoever,i explained myself & what i had in mind, no bad intentions

[lost birch]

thanks! 😄

[lost birch]

right??! Its glowy but not too vibrant

Unc roadmaps on this website are SO GOOD

I got premium for the month and I'm on Jr pentesting its so much fun

Near the start now but it is nice to be able to dive in unrestricted

[night prairie]

takes a bit longer than circling

[glass nest]

Oh, excellent! Happy you are enjoying it

[lost birch]

one day we will get a perfect straight line

Its hard freehand

How was everyones day today

[rugged kayak]

not bad

spent whole day looking for some new year's gifts

[lost birch]

😮 for yourself or someone else?

[rugged kayak]

for my little sister and myself

[glass nest]

Does your sister like Cybersecurity? 😄

[rugged kayak]

shes 11

[glass nest]

THM subscription might be a good gift

[half girder]

good age to start

[glass nest]

Ah. So not yet then

[lost birch]

😭😭😭

Start them young

lmao

[sick lance]

No age limit for THM

[lost birch]

trueee

[sand trench]

but that gif is not from any new one

[lost birch]

Just tell her she can't join the DC yet

[glass nest]

Sloboda - There we go. Gift 1 sorted 😄

[rapid merlin]

When did you catch that clip of me

[lost birch]

Ooo give her a new USB drive too

[half girder]

my godchild enjoyed his thm giftcard 🤷‍♂️

[lost birch]

So she can boot Kali!

[rugged kayak]

one hacker in family is more than enough 😂

[lost birch]

does he still go?

Use it I mean?

[glass nest]

Just cos you know she'll be better than you 😄

[lost birch]

that's what I was thinking lol

[rugged kayak]

honestly she has no interests in computers

just scrolling tiktok whole day

[glossy thunder]

Hey guys, after completing the intro to cybersec and pre security, should I go with cyber security 101 or complete beginner next?

[glass nest]

Thats a shame. So, My 11yr old neice - I got her a book of random facts, and this magnetic segmented pen thing

Also chocolate. Because.. well, It's chocolate.

[rugged kayak]

i got her some mirror for makeup

[glass nest]

solid choice

[rugged kayak]

and got myself a zippo

[glass nest]

Ooh. personalised?

[rugged kayak]

no but i was thinking about getting something engraved

[glass nest]

Engrave your password on it, so you won;t forget it 😄

[narrow bone]

I wenn for complete beginnen first and then Cyber Security 101

[rugged kayak]

its all black on the back so i was thinking putting something there

[opaque flax]

Do you one better, engrave your md5 hash on it

More secure that way

[lost birch]

Probably 101 🙂

[sinful moon]

lol I need to remember those advanced channels exist more often, great chat

[glass nest]

@loud marlin is our resident engraver :p

[lost birch]

with salt 😉

[loud marlin]

don't let me start it 🙂

[lost birch]

We have an engraver!?

[glass nest]

Dude, Slaboda's needing some laser services

[lost birch]

ohh I forgot about advanced chats, what rank do you need again?

[sinful moon]

Beautiful, and only a bit better :p

[knotty pendant]

Is it possible for a cpu to catch fire if it doesnt have cooling

[opaque flax]

Top rank

Or oscp

[loud marlin]

i do engraving with laser...

[lost birch]

I guess that's what I'll have to do then!

[sinful moon]

I think it was also passing one of the network rooms but I'm not sure if that still applies

[lost birch]

I'm not sure but I think I'd be able to find a way

[glass nest]

ralex - hardest part is getting the ill-tempered sharks to aim them right

[sinful moon]

I think it was Old School which was potentially discontinued

[half girder]

usually it shuts down and your motherboard goes beep beep

[lost birch]

old school

Runsecapé?

[sinful moon]

nah it was a retro AD domain

And besides Old School Runescape was very much not discontinued lol

lol I do have to work again tomorrow, which should be interesting. I do think I'll just dedicate the day to finally doing AOC, only got to do a couple days this year

[glass nest]

Back in for 1 day.. then the wekend?

[sinful moon]

yeah lol, it's silly

[glass nest]

Well, hustlers gotta hustle.

[opaque flax]

Same at my work…

[glass nest]

I'm dropping my parents to the airport tomorrow.

[sinful moon]

yeah like none of our clients are going to call us, but meh

[opaque flax]

Saaaame it was so slow today

Except for some guy I had to help share an excel file…

[sinful moon]

Oh I bet, sorry you hat to work today

[glass nest]

Their gift to my brother and his wife/kids was a couple week in Disneyland Florida

[sinful moon]

lolol, sounds about right

It's alright last week I got to show the same woman two times how to restore her Outlook sidebar

"then you press the pin and it stays there"

[opaque flax]

We have a guy who will call us and tell us everytime he doesn’t have an outlook password

[sinful moon]

lol

[opaque flax]

I’m counting my days on the help desk

Have faith it’ll end soon

[glass nest]

Helpdesk never ends.

[opaque flax]

You can never escape the helpdesk

It always finds you

[glass nest]

Cyberpurgatory

[opaque flax]

God I wanna play rdr2 again

Watching a playthrough of it

[glass nest]

You know, I've never played that.

[lost birch]

same.

[glass nest]

always slipped under my radar

[quasi hedge]

Any recommendations about which pathway to go for next?

[lost birch]

I didn't even finish GTA V

[glass nest]

SOC level 1 is a good shout

[sinful moon]

lol Uncle is not wrong. My primary job is infosec and sysadmin and I still find myself in help desk from time to time

[lost birch]

SOC = security operations center?

[sick lance]

How?

They only released it a million times.

[opaque flax]

My job title is helpdesk yet I find myself being a sysadmin

[lost birch]

true 🤣

[sick lance]

It's now playable on your microwave

[glass nest]

The only open World I played and didn't complete properly was skyrim. Didn;t know what choice to make with the dragon

[lost birch]

do they die in the end?

[sinful moon]

Mhmm sign you're moving up in the world, good stuff

[opaque flax]

For sure. I’m just ready to get off the call q 😂😂

[sinful moon]

also GTA V is indeed trivial to beat lol

also one of the worst of the series if I'm being honest

[opaque flax]

Yet i will be paying for gta vi

[glass nest]

Ellie - 1st GTA will always have a place on my computer

I think it was even released for free

not originally, but a few years back

[sinful moon]

lol totally fair

I'm more partial to the Classic 3D trilogy and IV myself

[opaque flax]

I bought rdr 1 for the pc

[glass nest]

Pff. you call yourself a retro gamer.

[sinful moon]

I've never been able to grok the top down driving of 1 and 2

[knotty pendant]

Is it the same for raspberry pi

[opaque flax]

$50 for some lighting

And to play it on pc

10/10

[sinful moon]

also psh Unlce I do

[knotty pendant]

I will get proper cooling soon

[glass nest]

Yeah, but it's fun to tease you

[lost birch]

Put a cup there and its water cooled.

[sinful moon]

Alright stepping outside momentarily

[opaque flax]

To play video games or study

Hard choice really

[finite bone]

hello guys, i have problem with guy, which is trying to hack me to every socials, and he was trying to log to my ip, and i have this ip can i make something with this?

[glass nest]

report him to the various socials.

[rugged kayak]

how does one log into your ip

[opaque flax]

Turn on 2fa and change any weak passwords

Or just change em all anyways

Just change you passwords and turn on 2fa

[rugged kayak]

you cant log into ip bro

[glass nest]

It just is. Report him to IG

There are ways 🙂

[opaque flax]

Ip isn’t an identifier

[mellow gull]

You don't need to know. Just report him.

[glass nest]

Ahh. wild Gaww appears!

[mellow gull]

I do appear sometimes

[opaque flax]

Welcome Gaww

[mellow gull]

Howdy howdy :)

[shut hawk]

What do you mean by "custom IP"?

[opaque flax]

Look it up if you really need to know

[glass nest]

oo - If you want to learn cybersecurity, THM is a great learning resource for this

[mellow gull]

Working on setting virtual lab most of the day, so been busy

[glass nest]

@sick lance You about?

[opaque flax]

@sick lance

[rugged kayak]

bruh

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[mellow gull]

Every time.

[rugged kayak]

i see how it gets funny

[glass nest]

Haha, told ya 😄

[mellow gull]

You just gotta wait for the ball to drop, happens eventually

[opaque flax]

Whats your virtual lab gonna be

[glass nest]

Yeah, i was gonna ask aswell. AD?

[blazing granite]

AD?

[opaque flax]

AD?

[shut hawk]

ad?

[glass nest]

AD.

[shut hawk]

[sinful moon]

BC

[opaque flax]

I much prefer passive directory

[blazing granite]

BCE

[shut hawk]

passive-aggressive directory

[mellow gull]

Got Meta 2 and 3 (Windows and Linux) and OWASP BWA set up on an internal network. I'll be working on an AD a little later

[opaque flax]

Niiiiice

[sinful moon]

I know it was said to death but yeah I can’t recommend AD/GPO skills enough

[glass nest]

Oh sweet. I was thinking of setting up an OWASP at some point

[sinful moon]

Kind dying out with so many orgs moving to cloud but still extremely valuable

[opaque flax]

AD definitely isn’t going anywhere yet

[glass nest]

Maybe a Damn Vulnerable Linux aswell, just for variety.

Practise some Blue team stuff on it

[mellow gull]

Yeah I've heard as much. Setting up the AD is gonna be a lot more of an intensive process than the others were and my head's a little spiffed from the last 4~ hours of mucking about, but I know it'll be good to have set up.

[sinful moon]

It’s honestly easy compared to Entra ID lol

[glass nest]

Gaww, get yourself a cup of tea 😄

[sinful moon]

It doesn’t take long at all

[opaque flax]

AD to setup isn’t so bad

I made the mistake of changing the name of my DC AFTER promoting it lol

[blazing granite]

or a glass of whisky 😂

[opaque flax]

Did a little reinstall after that one

[mellow gull]

The big timesink is that I'm summarizing it in notes as I'm doing the process

So it's kind of like going over everything 2.5x times

[glass nest]

Future Gaww will thank you

[mellow gull]

Exactly why I'm doing it!

[blazing granite]

just for the thank you 😂

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mellow gull (current: #227 - 30)

[sick lance]

You can also get a GitHub that will set up the ad with miss configurations

[glass nest]

I find that taking notes actually makes stuff sink in better, so ironically, I don;t really need them as much when the time comes 😄

[opaque flax]

You have a link to the repo?

[mellow gull]

That's usually how it works for me. You really slow down and absorb the information so it's much easier the next time.

[sick lance]

Not on my mobile, sorry.

[opaque flax]

No worries 🙂 I can google for it

[sick lance]

I'll set a note to grab the link when I get on laptop

[sinful moon]

Thankfully 97% of this is actually just setup wizards anyways lol

[blazing granite]

next, next, next oh wait another next 😂

[sinful moon]

choosing your domain is probably the single most thoughtful step of the entire setup, but sure plenty after it's all started

yeah pretty much lol

[mellow gull]

I'll be real happy when it's all over and done with, I'm sure. Strong foundations can support a tall ceiling and such

[sinful moon]

You also may see .local in setup guides. Microsoft doesn't recommend this, but they used to, internet standards are indifferent, and I'd be curious to hear what anyone here has to say

[opaque flax]

Pretty sure I set my up as .local

Can’t remember if it’s .local or .loc

[sinful moon]

Yeah like it really won't hurt anything at worst anyways, it's just curious

[opaque flax]

AD DNS is also nice and super easy

I thought reverse lookup zones were confusing before simply because of the in-addr.arpa

[sinful moon]

But yeah Microsoft these ways just wants your public FQDN as also being your AD domain, but yeah

as you say, any domain way is pretty easy with AD's DNS indeed

[opaque flax]

I haven’t mess with ADCS tho

[sinful moon]

we have like a single client with .local and it's just interesting lol

Yeah me either, thank goodness

[night prairie]

is anyone here a rust god

gpt is giving me the same answer over and over 😭

i dont speak rust so i dont know what the issue is either

[glass nest]

Bee would be my go-to for Rust, but not seen them around for ages

[night prairie]

let me try the rust server, last time i asked smth there i got ignored, my question was probably dumb

[blazing granite]

I'm a bit rusty but I guess it's not the same 😂

[glass nest]

Sorry I couldnt help. Literally never used it

I think James might have dabbled in some rust aswell. Or Go. or both. Hard to know with James 😄

[opaque flax]

I’m pretty sure most of our clients are using the FQDN for their ADDS too

Except a small subset of our clients have their AD in a “cloud data center (probably a closet I’ve never seen it)” controlled by us that we acquired when buying up another MSP

And anyone in there the domain ends in .cloud

[sinful moon]

yeah. does make things eaiser and it's for sure what MS is looking for now that many are using Hyrbid configs, but gets weird if you just want silly homelab setups... but then again as you say, with their DNS it doesn't matter much

[sinful moon]

lol that is unusual, but yeah sounds literally just like remotely hosted DCs

Instead of actual Azure/Entra ID

[opaque flax]

It’s the most garbage setup ever

It’s awful

I have so much to rant about it but yeah it’s a bunch of servers in a closet handling various things like AD,Exch,VOIP,Citrix

Couple months back a firewall issue brought the entire thing down for 4 hours

[sinful moon]

lol oh goodness

I'm so glad we got rid of our Exchange servers, but yeah only one or two are still running in Hybird

[opaque flax]

Honestly on prem exchange is not necessary any more

There’s not much reason for it anymore

[sinful moon]

for sure, way too much maintenance for on-prem

[opaque flax]

I really don’t mind administrating Entra either

[sinful moon]

pain in the butt

I do in comparison to AD, but if you mean Exchange, yeah it's the same difference with Exchange Online

[opaque flax]

Yeah I just meant in general

But exchange online is the way to go

Let MS handle the server maintenance

[sick lance]

@boreal gull

[sinful moon]

absolutely, we've seen too many spooky exploits, from server level to NTLM Hash stealing

[glass nest]

Hehe, I didn't wanna tag them just in case, Thanks scrubz 🙂

[boreal gull]

hiiii

[sick lance]

@night prairie is looking for help with Rust 😄

[boreal gull]

go ahead i am in bed hehe

[blazing granite]

rusty bed? 😂

[rapid merlin]

Someone got me paint by numbers for christmas so I’m doing that

[knotty pendant]

Are mitm attacks illegal🧐🤔

[loud marlin]

yes

[opaque flax]

If you don’t have consent it is

[knotty pendant]

😔

What attack can i do thats not illegal

[opaque flax]

Any you have permission to do

[mellow gull]

You can only do any attack only on devices you have permission to do so on.

[loud marlin]

no ATTACK is legal

[blazing granite]

cook up some vms on your own computer and practice there, create a home lab. Anything outside that you need permission of the owner

[knotty pendant]

So can i buy my friend or someone a device then hack it a few weeks later

🤔

[mellow gull]

???

[knotty pendant]

Idk

[mellow gull]

If you haven't exclusively gotten their permission to, no.

[knotty pendant]

🤔

I hacked my dad before

[mellow gull]

Crazy thing to admit to.

[chilly veldt]

Stealth, you alive?

[sinful moon]

I had a moving experience after watching the Bee movie for the first time in full through Kyooty's avatar

[static mirage]

Im' half way into the advent of cyber 2024 challenge, and my main take away is; You will do many things and eventually you will fall in love with a certain career path. So far, Im leaning towards the redteam.

[sinful moon]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

[static mirage]

I love the Bee movie. If you liked that one you'll like, insdie out.

1 and 2

[sinful moon]

lol indeed, although hopefully in higher fidelity than a Discord avatar

Those have been on my radar though, thanks

[static mirage]

that one cleansed my soul lol

[finite tulip]

I can't remember much of the bee movie from watching, I more remember it from all the memes

[chilly veldt]

Sorry, discord only wanted 18mb or something like that

[chilly veldt]

[sinful moon]

lol beautiful, thank you

[finite tulip]

thank you for the 16:9 one

[shut hawk]

just what I need

[chilly veldt]

You're all welcome

[static mirage]

1080p

[knotty pendant]

I this the full movie😳

[chilly veldt]

That is the full movie as a gif yes

[static mirage]

thats so cool.

[twin ridge]

Gave 1 Rep to kyootybella (current: #8 - 925)

[chilly veldt]

Took me like half an hour to make

[static mirage]

what playback speed is that on?

lmfao

[twin ridge]

Can't give that much (max 1)

[sinful moon]

lol just to re-encode?

[finite tulip]

only half an hour?

[knotty pendant]

Wowzies

[twin ridge]

Gave 1 Rep to kyootybella (current: #8 - 926)

[finite tulip]

I think only the mods can give more than 1

[sinful moon]

It's also done just by saying thanks in an at message lol

but yeah there's a cooldown

[finite tulip]

could be that it's a required option

[chilly veldt]

Well, I had to make it smaller, make sure the quality didn't get too bad, had to cut frames so it didn't take too long, but still keep enough so you can understand each scene

[knotty pendant]

Thanks

🤔

[knotty pendant]

Thanks

[sinful moon]

lol could have changed

[opaque flax]

It won’t let you spam them

There’s a cool down timer

[sinful moon]

No need to spam it, I probably missed it

[finite tulip]

I'm guessing you just had it on your computer already and that is not taken into account in the half hour?

[mellow gull]

Doesn't everyone have the entirety of the Bee Movie installed on their computers naturally?

It came with mine, just like Uno.

[finite tulip]

Maybe I have an odd distro (would have been funnier if I didn't use windows 11)

Or I just haven't found the file

[sand trench]

@loud marlin think you can figure out how to do this to get a nice shader effect on neovim start screen???

[loud marlin]

let me check vid

[sand trench]

there are some small comments in the thread on the ghostty discord for this video

but shadow is lost

[shut hawk]

dope but wtf is that font

[loud marlin]

uuh. ill check. never saw that

[shut hawk]

programming in hieroglyphics

[sand trench]

would use some other font thingy but the effect is what shadow is wondering about

[loud marlin]
