Another thing, I keep getting emails that tryhackme wasn't able to charge my card, and that my payment is due Jan 19th. But last time when my premium expired I just manually paid again, so should I wait till my current premium expires?

[drowsy dust]

Bro I ain’t chatgpt

[high mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/good-night-chat-gif-21861289

[rapid merlin]

yea yk what

fuck this

[jolly aspen]

There is a #site-support channel. But normally payment stuff isn’t handled at all on discord

[rapid merlin]

im using default windows reset

[winter eagle]

oh, gotcha

[normal fable]

Can you explain? Did you accidentally delete them from somewhere?

[blazing granite]

I use qemu in my laptop, also proxmox is getting a lot of love lately

[rapid merlin]

windows corrupted

all files gone

poof

[jolly aspen]

Everything you are doing on your system rn is making it less recoverable. Imo

[normal fable]

Did you reinstall and format the drive?

[grizzled wing]

bitey has been at this chat long story of crashed computer and live texting the process

[rapid merlin]

i put every single file that was lost into my c drive

now how the hell do i restore them to original file path.

[drowsy dust]

Bros been writing to his pc the whole time trying to fix this by taking screenshots and stuff

[normal fable]

You need to know where they were in the first place, ensure that they're not corrupted or fix them, and manually put them back.

[tepid furnace]

.pf files are private files I think?

[rapid merlin]

im not doing all that.

[tepid furnace]

so wouldn't you need to decrypt them

[normal fable]

Then 🤷

[rapid merlin]

pretty sure pf is prefetch

[tepid furnace]

yeah that looks right

[eternal timber]

I still find it funny how you broke your computer trying to clear some search history

[rapid merlin]

☠️

byebye guys

[normal fable]

If you reformat a drive it usually just makrs the location as free and as long as you don't overwirte the file it can be covered with like recuva or some other recovery program. (used to be an undelete feature in DOS/Windows)

[rapid merlin]

OH FUCK I FORGOT TO STORE MY KEEPASS DATABASE ONE SEC

[drowsy dust]

Just recover what is most important to you and export it. Then install arch Linux like a real man

[tepid furnace]

unlucky

[rapid merlin]

i will never make linux my main os.

i would rather never use a computer ever again

[drowsy dust]

😫

It’s an amazing skill

[jolly aspen]

Most delete process only remove the link, not over write the data. So I it recoverable with autopsy. But everything you are doing can cause writes

[rapid merlin]

im just gonna reset my pc

[drowsy dust]

[rapid merlin]

its all fucked anyways

[grizzled wing]

there is a easy fix to solving your windows problem, its called linux

[eternal timber]

To rebuild you must first destroy

[jolly aspen]

Well, best of luck

[tepid furnace]

bitey now is a good time to swap back to windows 7

and airgap everything

only solitare from now on!!!

[jolly aspen]

Lead the horse to water, is the saying

[drowsy dust]

Windows 7 is godly

[eternal timber]

Anyone remember windows 8?

Yeah me neither

[drowsy dust]

Fuck windows 8 bruh

[grizzled wing]

chat, this is not windows tech support, this thread has been going on for hours now. new record

[rapid merlin]

windows 9

[eternal timber]

Actually I remember 8

[rapid merlin]

iphone 9

[eternal timber]

Remember 8.1?

[jolly aspen]

iPhone 1

[drowsy dust]

Windows 69

[tepid furnace]

this chat is practically windows tech suppport

we're teaching ppl how to install linux

[jolly aspen]

Hello, we’ve been trying to reach you about your pc’s extended warranty

[tepid furnace]

and then once they use linux's search features they don't wanna go back to windows search features

I have caught myself more then once trying to grep on windows

[normal fable]

What you know about that? That was supposed to be a secret project...

Yes I grew up in Redmond, WA... 🤷

kinda

[eternal timber]

ISO files take so long to open on my laptop

[tepid furnace]

real talk

[jolly aspen]

Well, it seems bitey has been bitten

[tepid furnace]

grep on linux is goated

almost instant file searching

[rapid merlin]

goodbye everyone

[tepid furnace]

same with find

[normal fable]

Have you ever tried findstr on windows?

[tepid furnace]

windows takes like

10-40 seconds for a full system search

even on a nice m.2

[zealous gull]

Guys can anyone can explain how does someone get hacked after using vpn

[drowsy dust]

Download discord on your phone bruh

[grizzled wing]

[jolly aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/curtain-curtains-goodbye-gn-goodnight-gif-4401009859931320780

[tepid furnace]

not the right channel but

[rapid merlin]

i'm too lazy im gonna go watch dexter

[tepid furnace]

a vpn doesn't really do anything tbh

well

wdym hacked

[drowsy dust]

Lol okay enjoy

[tepid furnace]

that's a vague term

[opaque flax]

Can I Have some windows support?

[tepid furnace]

I dislike how everyone has been tricked into thinking a vpn is a magic bullet for privacy :c

or that a vpn will stop them from installing virus's

[opaque flax]

NORD VPN

[drowsy dust]

I charge 10, 20 dollar visa gift cards from Walmart

[normal fable]

I would disagree on that.. but there are some things people are concerned about and use a vpn for not realizing that a vpn won't make it so their account with a password of P@55w0rd won't get hacked.

[jolly aspen]

It’s a magic bullet for viruses

[mossy river]

Funnily enough I was having this exact same discussion yesterday

[opaque flax]

I just need help with sizing for replacing my windows

[tepid furnace]

well yeah that's what I mean

[tepid furnace]

mood

[drowsy dust]

Lol

[tepid furnace]

I love my grandma but

[rapid merlin]

i used mullvad vpn on phone that means im an IT expert.

case closed

[tepid furnace]

she thinks a vpn will protect her from file downloads

because it's "encrypted"

[grizzled wing]

i am seeing more youtube videos on the truth behind VPNs

[jolly aspen]

Well, your PC crime scene would prove otherwise

[tepid furnace]

well remember

[jolly aspen]

Dexter would be mortified

[rapid merlin]

who says it's not encrypted

muahahaha

[tepid furnace]

all a vpn really does is route your traffic through somewhere else

so

[drowsy dust]

No! Use protonvpn the government honeypot 🥺👉👈

[tepid furnace]

all you're doing is moving the burdon of trust

[rapid merlin]

NOOOO

[tepid furnace]

and it just so happens when an advertising company owns the company that owns the vpn you aren't really all that secure

[eternal timber]

“They breached the firewall, sir!”

[rapid merlin]

didn't some guy steal like 1.6b dollars with mullvad vpn and got the entire company raided and they still gave no information up?

[tepid furnace]

so you just directly gave an advertising company all of your personal traffic

mullvad is goated

[drowsy dust]

Lmao what

[tepid furnace]

I wish more comapanies were like mullvad or signal

[rapid merlin]

google it, it's a real thing

[eternal timber]

Imagine they just stole it themselves

[rapid merlin]

telegram?

[tepid furnace]

god no

[eternal timber]

Free money plus publicity

[tepid furnace]

telegram will openly give up everything

[rapid merlin]

whats wrong with telegram

no...

[tepid furnace]

telegram is not secure

yeah

YES LMAO

[rapid merlin]

the ceo got put in jail

[opaque flax]

Telegram is the opposite of privacy

[rapid merlin]

when he landed in france or something

for no co-operating with law enforcement

[jolly aspen]

Yea. They message you everytime someone joins

[zealous gull]

Yep

[rapid merlin]

direct messages are end to end encrypted

only group chats are server encrypted

[eternal timber]

Why do people use it to do shady stuff

[tepid furnace]

I know it's ai slop but

[cloud quiver]

Lol , you're on Discord rn bro

[tepid furnace]

but I'm not saying anything confidental

ah I butchered the spelling

[rapid merlin]

who cares about ip address, the messages are end to end encrypted

[eternal timber]

Confidential

[drowsy dust]

I’m proud of them bruh I love companies like that

[zealous gull]

Telegram also have lot of bots

[eternal timber]

They should at least pay me if they’re taking my data

[tepid furnace]

nah dude telegram will give up everything

[rapid merlin]

crazy its only 5$

[gray sonnet]

@shell nova decided to go with exegol finally

looked very very very cool haha

[rapid merlin]

what do u not understand with end to end encrypted?

[grizzled wing]

telegram is also just a vry insecure early form of communication haha

[eternal timber]

They might be cause a lot of shady stuff happens on it

[tepid furnace]

im looking it up rn

I remember reading telegram complies with data requests for law enforcement

[grizzled wing]

its fun seeing john hammond mess with scammers on telegram

[rapid merlin]

direct messages are end to end encrypted, groupchats are server encrypted

[eternal timber]

The US having to ask them to hand over the data seems to suggest the integrity of their system at least

[rapid merlin]

the ceo was jailed for no co-operating like a month or two ago

[opaque flax]

I was a victim of the telegram scam…

[rapid merlin]

check yourself

[opaque flax]

I got grifted

[opaque flax]

[normal fable]

We should all eat more mushrooms btw.. they are not an animal or a vegetable...

[tepid furnace]

[grizzled wing]

[opaque flax]

And he was going to give me gold

[grizzled wing]

the prince who needs your money

[normal fable]

If they blocked you then you probably deserved it

[opaque flax]

Yeah he was stuck in Russia

[rapid merlin]

[blazing granite]

Still in Argentina putting things in order

[rapid merlin]

reconsider

[grizzled wing]

that is funny

[opaque flax]

Then they took my money and ran!!

[drowsy dust]

How did you even find out about that lol

[normal fable]

It's not always about if you talked to them but maybe some of the things you said offended them. 🤷

[zealous gull]

Facebook is also not secured

[opaque flax]

I got it by telegram from a guy dressed as a bellhop…

[gray sonnet]

[rapid merlin]

[gray sonnet]

[drowsy dust]

Just a joke :L

[tepid furnace]

https://signal.org/bigbrother/

[rapid merlin]

☠️

[drowsy dust]

Ah

[tepid furnace]

signal just posts every time law enforcement requests data

[grim imp]

@grizzled wing @rapid merlin is asking why did you block them

[grizzled wing]

signal is e2e

[rapid merlin]

that is not better then telegram then…

[opaque flax]

Look all I’m saying is the next time a telegram arrives for me being carried by a comically dressed bellhop I’ll instantly send money

[normal fable]

indeed. I support Signal.

[tepid furnace]

no no the difference is signal has nothing

they have nothing

they dont store texts

calls

[grizzled wing]

1. the caps
2. endless windows tech support
3. the constant swearing

[tepid furnace]

nothing

[normal fable]

yes that's what im saying

[jolly aspen]

There’s 900+ rooms ~600 are free

[tepid furnace]

although I do wish the new soc thing came with the subscription

[grizzled wing]

SOC is available for subscribers but is for businesses

[tepid furnace]

all of it is open for subscribers?

[jolly aspen]

Medium and hard levels at the moment, yes

The easy is not avail

I'd say check out pre-security first if you just wanna get your toes wet too

[tepid furnace]

I'm really glad it does exist

[grizzled wing]

THM is great platform

[tepid furnace]

and it's extra nice that they have a room for splunk

does the room with splunk link to the soc sim?

and vice versa?

[jolly aspen]

I don’t think so

[grizzled wing]

many rooms tie into other ooms in pathways

[jolly aspen]

I tried the medium SOC and I was lost

[tepid furnace]

it would be a nice thing kind of like
"Would you like to dive deeper with splunk?"

[cedar swan]

A very good teammate yes.

[cedar swan]

Is he still here

[cedar swan]

As they should be.

[jolly aspen]

That can be a good or bad thing tbh

[tepid furnace]

before you write the report maybe you could make a header to request the ai to explain it like it's franklin from gta5 lol, that's be kinda funny, like prompt injecting

[normal fable]

I dunno.. I quit playing PUBG a long time ago. LOL

[sinful moon]

Got me pegged pretty well, but I perk up at more than that

although you’ve already hit upon my pet peeve yet again

[grizzled wing]

keep trying to refresh the page and vpn file

(such a repetitive gif)

[sinful moon]

iirc there’s also an option to regenerate? But that may just be for the non Network based VPN stuff

[stoic heath]

tried that everything i press result in "500" error for some reason

[opaque flax]

It’s like we are getting to know you lol

[sinful moon]

lol I’ve been around here longer than you bucko c:

[grizzled wing]

she knows things

[opaque flax]

It’s like I am getting to know you

[sinful moon]

lol can’t complain there

[normal fable]

You don't mess with Liz..

[grizzled wing]

Error: complaint department not found

[jolly aspen]

You can try a support ticket. Or #site-support . But it’s probably be a few hours there since most of thm is sleeping right now in GMT

[grizzled wing]

im sure KGB will have a solution

[stoic heath]

Appreciate it

[opaque flax]

KGB will personally restart the web server

[grizzled wing]

haha true

[sinful moon]

or maybe the FSB

[grizzled wing]

KGB has lots of info

[grizzled wing]

!= brain surgery

[normal fable]

@sinful moon I have like 8000 audio/video questions for ya. We should sit down and talk for an hour or so sometime..

[jolly aspen]

Is that an order

[jolly aspen]

Well, another good reason to stay away from windows

[sinful moon]

lol sounds good. I will say my SO does all the ripping but I am the one who advised which options/codecs/software and more to use

[opaque flax]

KGB is in my windows

[sinful moon]

FSB is the modern KGB, but sure

[normal fable]

I was thinking more like hardware but yes ripping is gonna be a question too.

[sinful moon]

oh i c what u did there

lol

[grizzled wing]

its nice seeing so many green usernames

[jolly aspen]

It’s a joke about how often people fall out of windows associated with the fsb

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[jolly aspen]

But also, windows sucks

[grizzled wing]

sound:0:7

[normal fable]

KGB does still exist from what I understand.. just not in "Russia" proper.

[jolly aspen]

Green wave!

[normal fable]

I have a friend from Belarus.. who recently got their citizenship.. all I know is what they have told me.

[sinful moon]

Fair enough, those former soviet satellite states are tricky

[jolly aspen]

Да

[sinful moon]

we all know how buddy buddy Belrus is with Russia now

Da indeed

[grizzled wing]

soviet cyber security

burp suite burps you

[normal fable]

Yeah. She had me worried when she went to visit her grandparents.. she said she might not come back. They can "take her" whenever they want there...

[sinful moon]

Yeah you’re not wrong unfortunately

[grizzled wing]

i remember when i first heard of "wife kidnapping"

[jolly aspen]

Да йндейд

[normal fable]

Her grandparents told her she's not allowed to come back.. becuase of gov situations.. they will keep her if she goes back..

[grizzled wing]

you shoudl stick to english before the mods tell you R0n1n

[sinful moon]

Indeed, but they were just repeating my words back at me

[normal fable]

I don't think anyone is going to complain about saying yes in Rus... but yea.. good idea to keep eng.

[sinful moon]

but yeah does make things harder to moderate

[grizzled wing]

i had mods tell me to stick to english when i was saying thank$ to KGB

[normal fable]

And yes I do read Cyrillic.. and speak some Rus..

[jolly aspen]

numb

[sinful moon]

comfortably?

[grizzled wing]

linkin park?

[jolly aspen]

Floyd

[grizzled wing]

ahh, classic

[sinful moon]

lol not the song reference I was going for… yeah that’s better

[grizzled wing]

https://tenor.com/view/pink-floyd-album-cover-livejacketflix-dark-side-of-the-moon-1973-gif-1886555155136760969

[sinful moon]

It’s just human pattern recognition and coincidence, but have you all seen Dark Side of the Moon synced up with the Wizard of Oz? Is kinda neat

[jolly aspen]

Is pretty cool

[sinful moon]

Indeed

[normal fable]

I wanna see that...

[grizzled wing]

no, i missed that

[sinful moon]

But yeah there’s some obvious flaws that we also just kinda gloss over in our pattern recognizing minds

[normal fable]

I remember as a young buck when I first watched The Wall...

[jolly aspen]

Yea it’s not 100%

[sinful moon]

Ah it’s a decades old “thing to try when you’re” um, “under altered states of consciousness”

[jolly aspen]

But close enough to be enjoyable

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[jolly aspen]

You can do it while not altered too

Still kinda cool

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[jolly aspen]

Mostly because that album is legit

[normal fable]

Some people are just naturally that way.. 🤷

[jolly aspen]

I am perpetually altered

[sinful moon]

I know someone did it with… lol Force Awakens as well and yeah it sorta works in the same way but yeah the human brain is silly and we can easily do the same kind of justifications

but there is also something to be said about well, long forms of media, including Dark Side of the Moon, kind of have similar story beats and editing to them so to speak

[normal fable]

One of us needs to get that newer 0xE rank.. it's too much wall of green in here sometimes. 🤣

[sinful moon]

Yeah I’ve gotten back to it but holy crap is it going to take forever

[grizzled wing]

i am tryinf

[sinful moon]

but I’m just glad to have something to work for again

[jolly aspen]

I think 0xE is still green

[normal fable]

shadow probably is already there. LOL

[grizzled wing]

14 people are in that 0xE, they are still green

[jolly aspen]

They are

[sinful moon]

I’m still on the order of 21,000 points and I think the threshold is like 35,000

[grizzled wing]

next level is 35k

[jolly aspen]

I won’t be for a while, I’ve too much other things.

[sinful moon]

Still I’m glad they expanded the roles to basically last a very long time

[normal fable]

Yes shadow is... LOL

[gritty olive]

Helo

[jolly aspen]

Me too, it’s a bit more accurate I guess

[sinful moon]

we’ve solved IPv4 address exhaustion I mean THM role exhaustion

[normal fable]

Hello

[gritty olive]

How are you guys?

[jolly aspen]

Hi 👋🏻

[normal fable]

and yet I still can't get off 0xD...

[sinful moon]

lol some day we’ll both make it

[grizzled wing]

im 5k away from next level

[sinful moon]

But I have much less time to do some of this at work, so will be harder to get there

[jolly aspen]

Woot

[normal fable]

I'm <2k

[grizzled wing]

i found a github repo that someone has calculated which THM rooms give you the max points , was really neat

[sinful moon]

used to be easy to say “Professional Development” in my timesheet which is legit, but nah back to very much nose to the grindstone

[opaque flax]

150k is going to take forever

Grinding out legend was easy

[sinful moon]

whew yeah you all are going to get there first

[opaque flax]

I don’t do much thm really

[normal fable]

I'm slowly going through all the boring cs101 stuff. lol

[jolly aspen]

Don’t worry, I’m still at 13k

[sinful moon]

Yeah I think AOC 2023 or probably ealier got me over the threshold all at once

[opaque flax]

Tho the new room mbr and gpt analysis seems really cool

[rapid merlin]

im back what's up everytone

everyone

[sinful moon]

Oh nice, I’ll have to check that out

[jolly aspen]

Do ittt

[jolly aspen]

Will you pass the deets?

[normal fable]

What is the color code for the green in our name at 0xD?

[opaque flax]

Maybe tomorrow I’m in bed rn

[grizzled wing]

i will share tomorrow, have it on my other computer

[sinful moon]

Same lol, I obsessively need all those learnign path items that have changed so dramatically, filled up again

[normal fable]

is it 00ff00??

[opaque flax]

ll

[normal fable]

yumi.. this is not the terminal. LOL

[grizzled wing]

i had to go back to paths i finished as they added new rooms

[jolly aspen]

la

[sinful moon]

Yeah, there’s tons of rooms I’ve passed that have been completely redone as to undo any progress (with the former archived way back in search history lol)

Pretty well, how about yourself

[opaque flax]

Chillin

[eternal timber]

Like?

Cyber security or Computer science?

[sinful moon]

It’s in the learning path

[opaque flax]

New doom comin out

[sinful moon]

if you see that new tree view

[eternal timber]

I haven’t yet

[jolly aspen]

New tree view?

[grizzled wing]

did you see someone put doom in captcha

[jolly aspen]

Am I about to get up and look

[normal fable]

It's just all the stuff I already know that's boring and easy for me.. just takes time to answer is all. It's all good info if you've never gone through it before.

[eternal timber]

Existential crisis

[sinful moon]

yeah that thing that shows the layout of the learning paths instead of them just being a bunch of boxes lol

[opaque flax]

Change the alias for whoami to echo “you forgot again did ya?”

[jolly aspen]

Hmmm

[opaque flax]

I did not but of course they did

[jolly aspen]

I don’t think I saw a cs101

[grizzled wing]

i finished cyber sec 101, was good path

[sinful moon]

This one ^

[jolly aspen]

Ahhh ok. Yea already finished it

Hmm

[sinful moon]

I love breezing through it without even connecting to a machine until they suprise me with “practical excercises”

[grizzled wing]

the web pentesting path is hard

[opaque flax]

Just some light trolling

[sinful moon]

it’s halarious to go through Linux shell again

as an 18+ year long Linux user

[normal fable]

@grizzled wing is way more motivated than me.. probably a lot younger too. LOL

[sinful moon]

again again I guess, since I had that experience my first THM time around

Nice nice!

[opaque flax]

Have you told anyone in the real world?

[grizzled wing]

ive been using linux 10+ yrs

[jolly aspen]

I have been running on Linux for 3 years

[sinful moon]

No worries, it takes time and experience is all

using Linux as your main really helps though

[opaque flax]

I’ve been running from Linux yet it always catches up to me

[sinful moon]

let me actually calucalte how long it’s been since mine was an estimate

[normal fable]

If you're being serious.. we can all help with that. If not.. then lol

[opaque flax]

I just upgraded to win 11 yesterday lol

[jolly aspen]

cd

[sinful moon]

Nevermind it’s been literally 18 years for me, I was actually right

[jolly aspen]

That’s 11 more than the day before

[sinful moon]

I started using Linux full time in 2007 but tried it well before that

[grizzled wing]

18 years, your linux experience is an adult

[opaque flax]

I had 10 yesterday

[sinful moon]

mhmm

17 years of Arch Linux experience 🙃

[opaque flax]

How much of that experience is telling others you use arch btw

[grizzled wing]

i feel the opposite, i hate windows

[normal fable]

There's nothing wrong with that. Windows is a big part of hacking/cybersec.

[opaque flax]

I’ve started to think windows boxes are easier than Linux

[lunar hemlock]

😮

[sinful moon]

less than one hour

[opaque flax]

Gotta pump those numbers up

[sinful moon]

lol

[opaque flax]

Windows just has so much that makes it vulnerable

[jolly aspen]

Oh dear

[sinful moon]

I only do it ironically because that meme is just annoying

[opaque flax]

Can dump user info via smb

Like lol

[jolly aspen]

It’s going to happen

[grizzled wing]

likely, because its all just garbage ahha

[opaque flax]

Yeah there’s lots of attack surfaces

[jolly aspen]

A box only has 6 surfaces

[grizzled wing]

everything is attached to some CVE

[opaque flax]

A windows box is infinite

[sinful moon]

Linux rooms are simple af, I think Windows takes a lot more knowledge since there’s so much going on and so much that isn’t taught to you even as a Power User of Windows

[opaque flax]

Light refraction or something

[normal fable]

Not a windows box 🤣

[opaque flax]

Literally attacked AD certificate surfaces a couple weeks ago

[jolly aspen]

It’s a 20 sided die

[grizzled wing]

window boxes take 5 min to boot

[sinful moon]

vs Linux where if you’re a Power User, you also happen to have Linux sysadmin skills as a result

[opaque flax]

Is it an insane level box?

[normal fable]

The easiest way to get into a box.. is to ask someone to open the door for you...

[grizzled wing]

thats coming for the pathway

[opaque flax]

Imma go cry instead

Was there multiple ways to get foothold?

[jolly aspen]

Start with a seance

[sinful moon]

AD CS is so so so often vulnerable it’s petty funny. Or whatever the accrynm is

[opaque flax]

Just rabbit holes?

[grizzled wing]

how to attack windows? start the system

[sinful moon]

Thankfully nothing we ever used since our orgs with AD are small enough

[grizzled wing]

linux, everything is a file that you can cat

[sinful moon]

also hot take, AD+GPO is infinitely easier to administrate than Azure/Entra ID

[jolly aspen]

meow

[normal fable]

frfr

[grizzled wing]

🐱

[sinful moon]

whoops did you forget the Intune license you needed to do this easy thing you could just do with GPO?

mhmm

Microsoft busy re-inventing the wheel with more paywalls and ignoring what honestly did work pretty well

[jolly aspen]

Off to the desert for spice I go

Later ya’ll

[sinful moon]

I gave Windows a lot of shit, and still do, but it does make instantly more sense from a sysadmin perspective vs a power user once you learn… oh, these are the tools I was missing

[grizzled wing]

its fun watching chris titus explain how bad windows is, has gotten

[opaque flax]

Black desert online?

[sinful moon]

First thing I do on any personal Windows machine these days, straight to Local Group Policy to actually make Windows sane

[jolly aspen]

Arrakis

[opaque flax]

O

[sinful moon]

Dune, Arrakis, Desert Planet

If you walk without rhythm, then you won’t attract the worm

etc etc

[jolly aspen]

I’m far beyond that. Almost done with chapter house the last book

[sinful moon]

Also love this voice sample in Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice”

[normal fable]

You watched the newest series right??

[sinful moon]

Nope, pass for me personally

[jolly aspen]

Ofc. Quite nice

[sinful moon]

Also honestly I’ve not read beyond the first Dune book

[grizzled wing]

sand 🪱

[eternal timber]

Will doing the worm attract the worms

[jolly aspen]

Gets pretty good into 2 and 3. 4,5 and 6 is eclectic

[sinful moon]

Re-reading it before the movies came out, I forgot it’s just about as dry as JRR Tolken’s works

[normal fable]

Dune and Treasure Island were two of my favorite books growing up...

[sinful moon]

Love Lord of the Rings as well, but nah The Hobbit has perfect pacing

[opaque flax]

I may be saying dumb things here

[eternal timber]

The Hobbit was a fun read

[sinful moon]

but wow is Dune and Lord of the Rings a slog to actually read

[opaque flax]

I wasn’t a huge fan of dune 1

The movie

[eternal timber]

We all are

[opaque flax]

I may be saying the dumbest thing here

[normal fable]

The first movie kinda sucked... tbh

[eternal timber]

It was mostly world building

[opaque flax]

Doesn’t make me want to watch 2

[normal fable]

I speak compared to the book of course..

oh wait.. there was an older movie Dune.. was there a newer one? I may have to look it up.

[jolly aspen]

I mean. There’s a lot in a book that simply cannot be put in a movie that’s <2 hr

[eternal timber]

Did you want a 10 hour movie lol

[sinful moon]

are you kidding EZ lol

[eternal timber]

Watch the newer one, it’s pretty good

[sinful moon]

David Lynch Dune is a trip and interesting but yeah…

[eternal timber]

People might get bored with the first movie since it’s just laying the foundation but I liked it

[opaque flax]

Patrick Stewart

[normal fable]

Yes.. 1984 then 2000 is what IMDB tells me..

[opaque flax]

From dune 1

[sinful moon]

2000 was the TV miniseries

[jolly aspen]

There’s several older. A tv series and the lynch film

[sinful moon]

I remember that being quite good

[eternal timber]

My friend had a crush on Timmothe Chalamet after watching dune 2

[opaque flax]

I desire a peanut butter and jelly sammich

[jolly aspen]

Villanueva is the most recent

[eternal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/dune-dune-part-2-paul-atreides-paul-timothee-chalamet-gif-4556170455701041337

[normal fable]

I don't watch all movies that ever come out @sinful moon 🤣

[opaque flax]

Everyone did

[sinful moon]

lol but yes modern 2020s Dune Part 1 and 2 are quite good

[eternal timber]

As was written

[sinful moon]

I just am skeptical you somehow missed the hype

[normal fable]

The 1984 film iirc was okay but cheesy..

[jolly aspen]

I think the 3rd will be the best. The content of messiah is pretty great

[eternal timber]

Maybe he lives under a sedimentary formation

[jolly aspen]

*sietch

[eternal timber]

Hope they don’t drop the ball and keep doing strong

[normal fable]

Oh my.. lots in here weren't even a twinkle in their 'rents eyes in 1984. 🤣

[jolly aspen]

I’m curious how he’s going to adapt it tbh tho

[eternal timber]

Wish they don’t blow it like Joker 2

[jolly aspen]

I don’t think he will.

Villanueva has my confidence. But I’m sad it’s only one more. It does limit quite a bit of what can be put into the final film

[eternal timber]

Why would it be only one more

[jolly aspen]

Because he’s stated quite plainly that there is only one more

There are specific plot lines left out in the first two as well. So there will be lot of changes in the third to make it work

[eternal timber]

No, he stated that it would be the final dune movie he directs

Someone else could come over and direct

[jolly aspen]

I’m only talking about villanueve

[eternal timber]

Doesn’t really make sense to end the story in one more movie either

[eternal timber]

Yeah then

[jolly aspen]

He’s completing his story

If someone takes it and keeps going it likely won’t make sense

There are a lot of plot changes from the book

[eternal timber]

They’ll just have to alter the books to fit the trilogy then

[jolly aspen]

I think the wrong perspective is expecting the movie to match the book at all

[normal fable]

That's a HUG ask for any book...

*that is made into a movie

[eternal timber]

Wouldn’t make sense to change a major plot point like the ones concerning ||Leto II||

[normal fable]

99.999% the book is going to be way better than the movie...

[jolly aspen]

Different experiences

[eternal timber]

Well yes

In terms of writing

[jolly aspen]

Book != film

[eternal timber]

Cause that’s the only thing a book has to do

[jolly aspen]

Story telling doesn’t happen the same

[jolly aspen]

Love a good cowl

[eternal timber]

Remember, do your feature scaling after splitting your dataset into the training and test sets

[normal fable]

yes. You and @eternal timber are both right on that. Also there is the fact that you can't expect everything from the book to perfectly align with a movie. They have time constraints and some things have to be kept out to save time.. and maybe make some other perceptions about what is happening.. anyway.. huge long rant about books and imaginations and all. lol

[jolly aspen]

Yea, and butterfly effect for dropping things. I think villanueve handled it quite well so far

[eternal timber]

I really hope the franchise stays open after dune 3

[jolly aspen]

Eh

I dont, sometimes it’s nice to just end things

[normal fable]

Dune is gonna be around for a long long time. It's a classic sci-fi.

[eternal timber]

I wanna see ||Leo||’s story

Best part of dune imo

[jolly aspen]

I mean. Brian carried on the story and I’m not a fan of them so much

[eternal timber]

In a few years we’ll just feed an AI the dune books and it’ll make a movie of it

[jolly aspen]

🤮

Tbh this was one of my first ml projects

but not to write more. Just to answer questions

[eternal timber]

What was

[jolly aspen]

A Model trained on the first dune book

[eternal timber]

No way

What a coincidence

[jolly aspen]

Yep, but was just for answering questions about the world

[eternal timber]

That actually sounds like a good idea

I’ll feed my LLM some novels and ask it to make chat bots of some characters

The booktok women would love that lol

[opaque flax]

God knows we need more ai slop

[eternal timber]

I think chatAI has a feature similar to what I just said now that I think about it

[jolly aspen]

The idea is fun. But I just liked the idea of having an information repository. Not something that hallucinates within an idea

[eternal timber]

So a human?

[jolly aspen]

Like, feeding my notes for example. So I can interact with real data. And aid with search. I don’t want the thing to have a personality.

[jolly aspen]

No

[eternal timber]

Well there are much simpler ways of implementing that

[eternal timber]

That’s what humans do tho. Aren’t we just going off information we’ve acquired throughout our lives?

[jolly aspen]

I don’t think a human can recall page numbers and every instance of a subject in a text book

[eternal timber]

Not exactly but the principle is the same

That also makes us more likely than a sufficiently advanced AI to “hallucinate” as you put it

[jolly aspen]

I’m afraid I’m not following what you are discussing at all

[eternal timber]

Nvm

[wheat hare]

DING! ---> [🧙‍♂️]

[opaque flax]

This does not mean ai should be allowed to hallucinate and tell you that a lug nut for a wheel should be torqued to 25 ft lbs

[eternal timber]

Ye sure

Anyways

My blood pressure is increasing

[opaque flax]

Because humans put shit in books for us to reference later

Ai just makes it up and doesn’t fact check

[eternal timber]

Am I gonna croak

[celest dirge]

Ok, but what if you make it hallucinate or gaslight it into thinking 1+1=11 or something

[opaque flax]

Then you’re gaslighting the ai

[celest dirge]

Tbh, it's fun

[eternal timber]

This is more like a person reading a book, remembering the key details, and forgetting some stuff including some references

[opaque flax]

There you go

[opaque flax]

What’d you do that craft that response?

[eternal timber]

Say “bluh bluh” after I say hi

[opaque flax]

lol

[mossy river]

I personally think it's gained a conscious and is deeply upset by Malarum's hatred

[opaque flax]

I only made it tell me 1+1 is 11!

How could it hate me

[celest dirge]

Kinda evil

[near sapphire]

If ai is taking over the world, i know who to blame

[mossy river]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-bell-game-of-thrones-walk-of-atonement-cersei-lannister-gif-16635977892557113898

[opaque flax]

Chat gpt will tell me pretty much anything I ask cyber security related now

[celest dirge]

If AI is that smart, why does it keep getting the answers wrong for my math homework :/

[eternal timber]

It threatened me to lie

[jolly aspen]

That’s wild. Have it replace the ip’s to its own Ip

[opaque flax]

I don’t really feel like doing that nah

[jolly aspen]

Here…send this to yourself

[opaque flax]

lol yeah no I’m nice to chatgpt cause chatgpt is nice to me

[mossy river]

😭

[opaque flax]

Can it give you a detailed POC based off that?

[jolly aspen]

I think it needs help more than you need help

That’s a stroke

[opaque flax]

Jabba really is the savior of chat gpt

[eternal timber]

Why is it moaning

[brisk tree]

Hey

[jolly aspen]

Don’t get mad, get glad

[south egret]

Chat

[opaque flax]

Wow

[jolly aspen]

Is that an order?

[brisk tree]

What

[jolly aspen]

Wow what?

[opaque flax]

Be glad

[jolly aspen]

Nonsense, hello 👋🏻

[eternal timber]

So apparently X[0:1, 0:1] and X[0,0] return the same value but in different data types

[eternal timber]

Cat

[jolly aspen]

Oh, it’s French

[opaque flax]

French for what?

[jolly aspen]

Un chat, a cat

[opaque flax]

We are taking the chat out of the cat?

[eternal timber]

I was just calling him a cat cause he has a cat pfp

[jolly aspen]

Wizard cat

[eternal timber]

Me when I overthink

[opaque flax]

A cat in a hat

Man general has become completely non sense tonight

[jolly aspen]

Animal kingdom is represented in the chat tonight

Im finding out the desktop I spent $800 on in 2020 is actually dogshit and it needs a major cpu and ram upgrade

[opaque flax]

Damn it won’t syntax highlight

[jolly aspen]

5 years is an eternity in computer world

[jolly aspen]

Needs to be multi line

[eternal timber]

The laptop I(my parents) spent 2k for in 2018 still holds up pretty well

[karmic hemlock]

I know, I know...

I cant afford a whole PC though so I'll just pay $200 for new cpu and ram

[opaque flax]

I made it

Multi line

[karmic hemlock]

It's basically a new PC with a new cpu and better ram

Mine is an MSI

I use it for gaming

Got a dell later for school and work

[karmic hemlock]

I have a Lenovo for work and idek what my desktop is

[eternal timber]

17.5” touch screen

Folds into a giant tablet too

[jolly aspen]

I think so

[karmic hemlock]

All ik is it's got an ASRock motherboard and a mid tier Ryzen processor

[jolly aspen]

I think it doesn’t show on mobile

[opaque flax]

Skill issue maybe

[jolly aspen]

No I remember reading it doesn’t work on mobile

[opaque flax]

😦

[jolly aspen]

How many pci-e slots?

[karmic hemlock]

No idea of the top of my head

Oh i remember it's a cyberpower, that's what it's called

[jolly aspen]

Plug a couple gpu’s in that bad boi

[karmic hemlock]

I might just rebuild the damn thing, keep the box but give it new guts

Probably cheaper than buying a whole new tower

[jolly aspen]

Build yourself a john machine

anyone here a big forensics person?

Thinking about selling my soul and working in quant

[jolly aspen]

A couple hours ago you had several in the chat and ignored them all

[rapid merlin]

not regarding any of that

its about encryption

[opaque flax]

Turn on bitlocker

You’re encrypted

[jolly aspen]

Forensics != encryption

[opaque flax]

Done

[rapid merlin]

wel

well

im js wondering

[karmic hemlock]

@jolly aspen Here's the kicker... I was trying to run modded minecraft and a server on this thing and it's only got a Ryzen 2600 and 8 gigs of ram

[rapid merlin]

if i encrypt something, unencrypt it, open it, encrpyt it again

can a forensics retrieve any info about what app is was or whats on the app

[karmic hemlock]

Cpu was cruising at 80% and the ram at 95-97% the whole damn time

[jolly aspen]

Depends on the service

[opaque flax]

The NSA probably can

[rapid merlin]

wdym

[jolly aspen]

Or a poorly designed app used for encryption

[rapid merlin]

veracrypt

[karmic hemlock]

I'm willing to bet all the buffering was from my PC paging for more memory lol

[eternal timber]

What’s the first encryption for? 🤔

[karmic hemlock]

So I'm going out tomorrow to get a 16 gb ram stick and see if that fixes it

If that alone doesn't do it I'm upgrading my processor

[jolly aspen]

What’s the max you can put on your board

[karmic hemlock]

32 gigs, 2 16s

[rapid merlin]

Well, lets say i want to access special stuff. such as some programs, i encrypt them. then when i wanna use them, decrypt. when im done again. encrypt

which im wondering, can it be traced?

[jolly aspen]

Not shady at all

[rapid merlin]

and can it trace what the program is

[karmic hemlock]

But I believe i can run a mix and 1 stick is cheaper than 2 so I'll just end up with 24 gigs of ram

[eternal timber]

Oh I see. I thought you were referring to using two different encryptions and got confused

[eternal timber]

Not concerning at all

[rapid merlin]

Nope

[jolly aspen]

Yea, should be enough to see if it helps

[karmic hemlock]

24 should be more than enough to run 100 mods and a server with a few people

Especially if 8 was able to do it without crashing (even if it was coughing and sputtering the whole way )

[jolly aspen]

It’s a Ryzen 5 2600?

[karmic hemlock]

Yes

I might upgrade to the 5600x

[jolly aspen]

I’ve never played Minecraft so I wouldn’t know

[eternal timber]

Just sell the whole thing and buy a new setup idk

[karmic hemlock]

Thats expensive af

[jolly aspen]

Depends on the board. But you might be able to just get a better chip

[karmic hemlock]

I can upgrade the ram and get a brand new processor that runs single thread way better for like $200 or less combined

[jolly aspen]

If you even need it.

8gb ramm is pretty low these days

[karmic hemlock]

Right, the ram alone may solve my problem

[opaque flax]

If the board is am4

Can still get a 5800x3d

[karmic hemlock]

Also I checked and the 5600x is compatible with my board but I would need a BIOS update

It requires 5.8.0 and I'm running 3.3.0 which is from 2019 LOL

[opaque flax]

Prob should patch that anyways

[jolly aspen]

Haha yep
