general

[graceful mauve]

What else

[pallid lotus]

Okay. Better question. How did you jump to "program needs to communicate with hardware".

Also, yes, Python can communicate with the hardware albeit indirectly.
e.g., https://pypi.org/project/RPi.GPIO/

[graceful mauve]

Because that's a level of it

Should I have said, learn C

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, that sentence makes zero sense.

Wdym "that's a level of it"

[chilly veldt]

you do know that just to check hashes of programs you don't need to be kernel?

[graceful mauve]

There's levels and different ways you can communicate with hardware

Kernel drivers are a level no?

[chilly veldt]

....

[chilly veldt]

do you know the difference between user space and kernel, just a question?

[pallid lotus]

No. Drivers expose functionality to interface with hardware. That's... Basically their main purpose.
Nothing about "levels" -- if anything we're talking user space and kernel space, with the jump between them.

[graceful mauve]

Kernel is supposed to be the middle-man between hardware and software

[pallid lotus]

Kernel is software

And either way you've still not explained why you think this problem requires some custom interfacing with hardware

[graceful mauve]

Why do I have to explain this stuff

Do you know what a kernel driver is?

[sick lance]

Because you're giving somebody the wrong information.

[graceful mauve]

Because you guys cut in

Thank you very much

[pallid lotus]

Because you're talking shite lmfao
Or, at the very least, have explained yourself so poorly that it looks like you're talking shite.

Hence the question

[chilly veldt]

we cut in cause you're giving someone directions in the opposite way
mcdonalds is to the left and you're telling them to go right

[rapid merlin]

My skin is having breakouts like in a teenager ahh this weather

[naive violet]

also half the time you can talk to hardware from userspace, you can write to files to directly talk to GPIO on a pi

[graceful mauve]

Alright then, how do you make a program that communicates with hardware the way you want it to?

[chilly veldt]

why do you want to talk to the hardware?

[graceful mauve]

I asked a question

[chilly veldt]

and I asked you a follow up

[rapid merlin]

I’m so confused does software not communicate with hardware

[mellow gull]

This all stemmed from some really ill-observed advise on malware observation.

[chilly veldt]

some of it does, some of it doesn't
(if we go technically, everything does)

[pallid lotus]

It does. Generally via kernel space though, although that's still software.

[sick lance]

Don't shift it back.

[graceful mauve]

You think I said kernel was hardware? Ain't no eay

[mellow gull]

Sorry sorry, I'll go back to watching.

[rapid merlin]

There’s so much going on in chat I’ve stopped functioning properly 😅

[chilly veldt]

again, why do you want to talk to hardware via kernel?
that will narrow down on how to

[pallid lotus]

Generally with a driver. That wasn't the contested point. The question was: why tf are you trying to talk to the hardware directly in this context.

[graceful mauve]

Because it's possible?

I'm just giving shorthand advice

[chilly veldt]

just because it's possible, doesn't mean you have to

[pallid lotus]

That doesn't mean it's relevant...

[graceful mauve]

To miss stealth it was

[pallid lotus]

No it wasn't lmfao

[chilly veldt]

just because I can take the elevator to the 1st floor, doesn't mean it's the best way

[pallid lotus]

That's the whole point

[fringe nacelle]

[pallid lotus]

The whole question is "why is that relevant"

[graceful mauve]

She just sat there eating popcorn whilst reading this chat

[topaz topaz]

Good morning to everyone! Hope you're all having a great start to your week 😊

[sand trench]

mornings

[mellow gull]

Got a problem with popcorn?

[rapid merlin]

Hahaha that’s them three 🤣

Crying

[sick lance]

I'm in Uni learning AI

[pallid lotus]

That's... Literally what this discussion is about.
You've suggested the nuclear option for a problem to which it really makes little sense.

[rapid merlin]

i dont hve access to my old account on discord
which means i cannot link my account twice.... how do i fix this?

[graceful mauve]

No I got a problem

[topaz topaz]

Nicee, is that a good thing?

[sick lance]

Ask a mod nicely to unlink your account if you have your token.

[mellow gull]

Oh, hope you get help with it soon.

[sick lance]

Not really, it's boring.

[rapid merlin]

i have my account token, are you able to do it? 🥺

[rapid merlin]

Morning

[slow cloud]

hii shadow

[sick lance]

You'll need to DM the token and the account it's linked to.

[rapid merlin]

ok

[topaz topaz]

Would you think it's a worthy subject to learn about?

[graceful mauve]

I was out here coding shid, then I talked to dummies, mb

[sand trench]

morning

[sick lance]

Not at fourth year level.

[mellow gull]

There is no way you called Muiri a dummy

[pallid lotus]

They did. It's cute

[sick lance]

Please don't be rude about community members.

[pliant onyx]

Without me

/j

[sick lance]

They're not telling you you're wrong becuase they're bored, they're telling you you're wrong because they don't want you teaching somebody else to be wrong.

[graceful mauve]

Well he's obviously not smart enough to understand I don't want to talk about kernel level exploits that communicate with hardware on a public discord server

[mellow gull]

[near sapphire]

morning shadow hows ur sleep

[pliant onyx]

I mean
He's the only one out of the two that has the "Community Mentor" role

[sick lance]

...You literally were though

[sand trench]

not great

[graceful mauve]

No I wasn't

[sand trench]

slept since 05:26 to 09:39

[pliant onyx]

Same last night

[sand trench]

current time is 10:43

[pliant onyx]

Just couldn't sleep

Slept so late

[mellow gull]

Revell why do you do this every time my man it's not that serious it's okay to be corrected.

[sick lance]

It's probably a good idea you don't want to discuss it.

Let's just drop the subject.

[sand trench]

this is based on shadows recording of their "snores"

[near sapphire]

you record your snores?

[mellow gull]

Some people do it for sleep studies.

[sand trench]

well best thing shadow found so far that is not a bad smart watch for sleep tracking....

[graceful mauve]

I'm fine with being corrected, I don't like being put in a position that leads to illegal conversations.. I think that is stupid

[rapid merlin]

You don’t want to hear my snores that’s for sure

[sand trench]

hoping the revived pebble will be a better option

[rapid merlin]

Is there a cert I can show to gain access to the restricted rooms instead of getting the level up.

[mellow gull]

OSCP or equivalent

[rapid merlin]

Okay

[sand trench]

Advanced general chat for those who are OSCP/eCPPT-certified (or higher), have the 0xD level, have completed Throwback, or are a prominent infosec developer!
from the advanced general chats description/topic

[fringe nacelle]

so there are advanced level rooms?

[rapid merlin]

Thanks, I’m gonna look

So I can get one or the other

[fringe nacelle]

cool

[rapid merlin]

damn im bouta get banned for ban evasion, even though i got false banned on discord -_-

screw discord

[fringe nacelle]

womp womp

[rapid merlin]

Hmmm I’m looking at both certificates

One is good for exploiting xxs which would be nice for bug bounty

But the other has reverse engineering

Difficult to pick

[mellow gull]

They're both complicated, that much I know

[sick lance]

You don't need OSCP to do bug bounty.

[fringe nacelle]

is xxs similar to xss? I can just google this giv me a min

[mellow gull]

Just need a fly swatter

[rapid merlin]

I’m just a pro at war with auto correct

[mellow gull]

[rapid merlin]

🙃

[sand trench]

well miss stealth is looking into it because they wanna "speedrun" the advanced channels

[fringe nacelle]

that's what I thought lol. All good tho.

[mellow gull]

Honestly it'd be easier to get 0xD

[sick lance]

Cheaper.

[mellow gull]

Or probably whatever they end up raising it to

[rapid merlin]

100%. Correct

I’m old

I don’t have the time to wait

[mellow gull]

Didn't the price of OSCP go up again?

[sick lance]

Yeah.

[mellow gull]

By like 500$ or something crazy

[fringe nacelle]

Isn't the OSCP locked behind it's + feature now

[graceful mauve]

Is the statics on the bot in terms of rep able to be changed or is it a hard set?

[sick lance]

I really want to buy two travel monitors.

[sand trench]

shadow got lucky and sniped the throwback network just before it got removed

[graceful mauve]

+rep

[fringe nacelle]

do it, they're worth it

[sick lance]

Admin can change the value.

[graceful mauve]

Ahh

[mellow gull]

Mobile monitors are nice to have in general

[rapid merlin]

What cert is good for bug bounty in your opinion ?

[mellow gull]

Especially if you work with stuff that don't typically have them like lots of raspberries

[sick lance]

You don't need a cert to do bug bounty.

[fringe nacelle]

you don't need a cert. Imo web exploitation knowledge is what is needed

[sick lance]

You just need to learn, you don't need anything to prove it.

[rapid merlin]

But first you gotta know where to search for the vulns

[graceful mauve]

Anyone can do bug bounty, open up a bug bounty program, read the scope and you're set

[sand trench]

go through owasp top 10 a lot....

[sick lance]

THM has a web exploitation path.

[rapid merlin]

Okay thanks +rep

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sand trench (current: #4 - 2081)

[sick lance]

That would be good for BB.

[rapid merlin]

Oh ❤️

Noice

[mellow gull]

There's also tons of nice vulnerable ISOs you can use to test web exploitation methods like BWA or plenty of docker instances

[rapid merlin]

BBM

[near sapphire]

yknow you would think that ppl making websites would not make the top 10 most common vulnerablities but ig some ppl are not carefull

[sand trench]

should probably get noodles again today

[graceful mauve]

@graceful mauve +rep @graceful mauve

[fringe nacelle]

I'll give that a look. Working on HTBs role in it along with portswigger

[graceful mauve]

Imagine

[mellow gull]

Self-repping doesn't work, but nice try.

[sand trench]

low hanging fruit and all that

[mellow gull]

People give it a shot every once in a while

[rapid merlin]

I’ve had to stop I think they’re making me thicker 🥴

[mellow gull]

You'd be surprised what people overlook

[sick lance]

Nice try.

[sand trench]

so does all food technically

[fringe nacelle]

dangling DNS

[graceful mauve]

Tried to smuggle it 😭

[rapid merlin]

But the noodles were putting a lot of weight on me. I was eating too many noodles 😐

Not enough veggies

[sand trench]

shadow basicallly only eat them if they are out of bed early

as a reward

[mellow gull]

This is why I put broccoli and spinach on my XXL pizzas.

Healthier

[sick lance]

...Who hurt you?

[fringe nacelle]

Im sorry for your lost gaw

[sand trench]

there is so much fruit on shadows pizza

like banana and pineapple/ananas

[fringe nacelle]

I can't believe you torture your food like that

[near sapphire]

ooohh hope there aren't any italians in chat

[rapid merlin]

I am so much fatter than I was last year. Even with all my walking around and around.

[mellow gull]

I call it "penance" actually

[rapid merlin]

I need to move to a healthier country

you sure it is not new muscle weight???

[wooden locust]

Hello🙂✌🏻👋🏻

[rapid merlin]

Yeah where’s there’s less processed foods and the food is cheaper

[graceful mauve]

Lol ty

[rapid merlin]

Italy maybe

[sand trench]

buying food in resturants is always expensive

learn and take the time to cook for yourself

[fringe nacelle]

[rapid merlin]

Food in the uk is so expensive now days

[sand trench]

how much for a regular size pizza??

[rapid merlin]

It’s cheaper to buy it ready made than it is to make it yourself

Depends where you buy it

[sick lance]

Depends.

[sand trench]

average the price out then you moops

[wooden locust]

How are you guys🙂🙃

[mellow gull]

Don't you tell us what to do you meep

[sand trench]

here it is about 130-150 sek

[sick lance]

Also depends on what you call a regular pizza.

[sinful moon]

Food is expensive everywhere due to global economic trends increasing inflation generally

[rapid merlin]

If you want a nice pizza frozen is 4 pound a pizza but Iceland do a cheese thin crust one for a pound

[fringe nacelle]

this ^

[sand trench]

ham and champions/mushrooms

[sick lance]

No, I meant by size.

[fringe nacelle]

no such thing as cheap food no more. Like we could argue potatoes

[rapid merlin]

But it might taste like cardboard

[sick lance]

Small can be 12" Med 14" large 16"

[near sapphire]

weird take on reguler pizza

[wooden locust]

Hehe cute😁✌🏻

[fringe nacelle]

You new to thm?

[mellow gull]

Alright what's everyone's favorite pizza

[fringe nacelle]

stoner 420

[rapid merlin]

Meat feast

[sick lance]

I make my own pizza.

I use chicken as the base.

Add tomato sauce, cheese, red/green pepper

[graceful mauve]

Cold and microwaved

[sand trench]

this:
Banana
Chicken
Curry
Peanuts
Pineapple
tomato paste
cheese

[fringe nacelle]

so like are they dried bananas?

[sick lance]

Ok, Cheese is the only topping our of that list that should be on pizza.

[rapid merlin]

Is that on one pizza

[sick lance]

I really should ban you for your food crime.

[mellow gull]

Sounds great, I might try that some time... With spinach and broccoli on top

[sand trench]

yes

[slow cloud]

pineapple pizza 😋

[sand trench]

now they are fresh bananas

[fringe nacelle]

gaww you're losing me. Stop

[sand trench]

what do you mean no tomato paste????

[rapid merlin]

[wooden locust]

I've known tryhackme for 3 months now, I just new wrote it on discord, I don't know it✌🏻

[sick lance]

Ok, 2 out of the list.

[near sapphire]

chicken is acceptable

[fringe nacelle]

Cool! You should attempt in connecting your account here to display your level on here. Everyone here is cool and good to interact with

[fringe nacelle]

the food you listed, in my opinion wouldn't taste well with tomato paste, idk what you would replace it with though.

[sinful moon]

It’s not in your opinion, lol it’s objective, they’re just joking anyways

[sick lance]

Cheese and chicken does.

[fringe nacelle]

I thought they were being serious

[near sapphire]

ooh jabba's pfp change to phineas

or is that ferb

[sick lance]

She isn't, I do believe that is the toppings on Shadows pizza.

[sinful moon]

Oh fair chicken is good vibes, I just saw mainly fruits

ah lol

[chilly veldt]

I can't get rufus to work on arch 😭

[sinful moon]

lol why would you

[chilly veldt]

it doesn't want to work via wine

[sinful moon]

again wtf

[chilly veldt]

need to customize a windows boot usb

[sinful moon]

that is an insane idea

[rapid merlin]

So did I

[chilly veldt]

it's not insane if it works

[sinful moon]

Oh the Win 11 stuff? Fair then, otherwise I’d be like Bella, you are insane for even trying

[fringe nacelle]

somewhere in the land of America. Hopefully you enjoy the discord

[chilly veldt]

yeahh, need to remove some stuff and make it a local login boot

[mellow gull]

Okay I'm back
Curry pizza is a real thing though and it's pretty good

Not 100% on the banana though

[sinful moon]

If you really need the Win 11 customizing features, just do a quick Windows VM with USB passthrough

[near sapphire]

welcome back

[chilly veldt]

yes, but then I have to install that

[near sapphire]

i like pizza with just cheese and nothing else

[mellow gull]

No sauce no nothin? Fair enough I guess

[chilly veldt]

might just take one of the windows laptops I have laying around and install rufus on that

[sinful moon]

I know effort but you should already have at least one around working/studying in this field

[chilly veldt]

I don't have on my work laptop

[sinful moon]

so lol that effort will not be for nought even if you don’t have one

[near sapphire]

tomato sauce is okay

[sinful moon]

That doesn’t change anything Bella lol

just use virt-manager real quick

[mellow gull]

That said cheesy bread with some basil garlic pesto is bonkers good

[chilly veldt]

hey hey, I am paid 2k a month, I work like I am paid 2k a month

[sinful moon]

no comment lol, either way yeah virt-manager usb passthrough should do the thing

[chilly veldt]

yeah, it would

if I have the energy for doing it

[sinful moon]

There are other workarounds for local account bypass, although I know 24H2 barred some

[upper minnow]

Hello

[fringe nacelle]

[chilly veldt]

indeed, but when you have to set up at least 2 laptops a month, you'll want something that just works instead of having to do bypasses all the time

[sinful moon]

what are you doing at home where you have to setup two laptops every month?

[chilly veldt]

you think I am at home?

[sinful moon]

…you just said you weren’t at work

[chilly veldt]

no?

[sinful moon]

okay you’re at work but you don’t have your work laptop with you

[chilly veldt]

I said I don't have a vm on my work laptop

[wooden locust]

How do you complete a room?✌🏻😁

[chilly veldt]

you answer the questions

[sinful moon]

Either way, why are you complaining about effort if it’s work time lol

[chilly veldt]

cause I don't feel like working

[sinful moon]

lol

[chilly veldt]

if work doesn't see my worths, then I'll show them the worth of the money I get

[upper minnow]

Low paying job means low effort

[chilly veldt]

indeed

they denied my pay raise because they couldn't see my worth or results when I work a lot and put in a lot of efforts into what I do

so now they get what they pay for

[sinful moon]

Just surprised you have Linux machine at all at work formally if that be your compensation

[fringe nacelle]

this ^

[chilly veldt]

we have 2+ people who run arch at work

[sinful moon]

Only Linux machines I’ve deployed at work are servers I explicitly setup myself

[upper minnow]

They use arch btw

[sinful moon]

I wish, but yeah not in our org

[upper minnow]

We dont even touch linuxes on my job

[chilly veldt]

100% of our infrastructure of servers are linux

[sinful moon]

work machine is just Win 11 on a Beelink, then I have a personal Mac Mini on the side for actual *nix tasks which is segmented from the work network

[sinful moon]

God I wish

[chilly veldt]

cause we are actual infrastructure people working here

100% of our infrastructure is then also cloud

lmao

[sinful moon]

we’re a very traditional org in terms of 98% Windows 2% macOS for our entire client base

Both the Linux servers I setup are for internal use/hosting

[chilly veldt]

it's 45% windows 52% mac and 3% linux here

for all computers

servers it's 100% linux

[graceful mauve]

Hi

[sinful moon]

I’d love administrating those servers, but I did learn tons needing to administrate about a dozen Windows domains via AD/GPO, but yeah most of those are moving to Azure/Entra ID

Being a WIndows power user doesn’t teach you crap about actually administrating Windows sadly, so it was eye opening

[chilly veldt]

indeed

I am writing a final exam on windows AD

[sinful moon]

Nice nice

AD/GPO > Azure in terms of ease of administration and licensing still lol

Microsoft badly reinvented the wheel, split it into 40+ dashboards, and charged you extra for a majority of basic features 🙃

[forest fractal]

henloooo eberi1

[near sapphire]

i think i'm gonna go watch pokemon again

its been a while

[forest fractal]

[near sapphire]

i used to

[fringe nacelle]

That's like telling someone to play yugioh

[forest fractal]

palkia and dialga cards are noice

[forest fractal]

I never watched pokemon I just like the cool looking pokemons

HAHAHAHA

you do know that ash is retired right lol

[forest fractal]

when I was a like elementary I use to collect this mini figurines of pokemons hehe

[fringe nacelle]

[forest fractal]

ash: started 10 years old

that infernap looks sick!!!

[sinful moon]

Not like I’ve played MtG in 15+ years nearly either

[sick lance]

8 recently had a screenshot for a different server

[fringe nacelle]

I've played MTG, Yugioh anda bit of the digimon tcg

I heard the one piece tcg is pretty good

[sinful moon]

lol I didn’t know Digimon had one but I shouldn’t be suprised

[fringe nacelle]

Yeah it came out around 2-3ish years ago iirc

[sinful moon]

I had one of the original Digimon digital keychain pets, those were rad

literally Tamagatchi that fought lol

[fringe nacelle]

Idk if I had an original one, but I had one similar enough. That is why I own a Pwnagotchi now

[sinful moon]

lol totally fair

I’m happy with my Flipper Zero dolphin being constantly dissapointed in me

[fringe nacelle]

that little man always has to be so dramatic

recently got a wifi nugget, need to learn how to use it properly

[forest fractal]

yow just a quick question, I recently learned autopsy (Im the newbie and learning DFIR) and I learned about this ingest module. Is there a channel for modules for DFIR in autopsy?

[sinful moon]

You ever get much into software defined radio? It’s rad af

[fringe nacelle]

I have not, I'll give it a look whenever I wake up.

[sinful moon]

Highly recommended and just as cheap to get started with

RX wise, it’s like a $30 USB stick kit

RTL-SDR Blog kit is what I’d recommend to get started

[fringe nacelle]

bet, I've been meaning to buy another gadget. Soon I'll get into 3d printers

[sinful moon]

Both nice ideas, but yeah SDR is really addicting. But fair radio/wifi/wireless anything has always fascinated me

so SDR is very appealing to me. See (nearly) all the bandwidth and what’s going on

Although if shortwave is a big interest that will take some very slight effort. But those modern RTL-SDR devices have a mode which helps for that

[sick lance]

We just use this channel or #infosec-general to discuss tools

[forest fractal]

@sick lance do you have any ideas? ghehehehe

[sinful moon]

lol

[forest fractal]

ahhh nice

I just asked it there hehehe

[forest fractal]

are you f2p?

[sick lance]

100%

Didn't ever have the two week trail for sub

[sinful moon]

Fair, just know that it’s like 5:40am EST on the US East Coast, but UK peeps are probably getting going with their day. So a response in this channel may depend. Also this channel can move fast

[fringe nacelle]

Sounds like this whole project will be a learning curve for me lol. I'll look into it tho.

have a good day peepos

[sinful moon]

It’s not too much to learn to just get started, but yeah depends on how deep you wanna get

[forest fractal]

Oh myyy you have the mew gold card

damnnnn

[fiery imp]

hola people

[sinful moon]

lol I thought you were joking about Scrubz themselves being f2p

[forest fractal]

nope hahaha

[sinful moon]

I personally have no use for digital trading cards but I can understand the appeal, to each their own

[forest fractal]

I just want cool looking cards hahahaha

Only I could make something easy, hard to do

[empty forum]

sry

[sinful moon]

I know enough to get by

[chilly veldt]

... Was it in robots.txt?

[lament tendon]

Well enough. What's the question?

[graceful mauve]

Some things you need to understand are the differing http response codes and their meaning under different situation. Caching mechanisms based on different resolvers or usee-agents, rate limiting security measures in place, how to structure you gobuster script well so it captures everything you're looking for

[rapid merlin]

I dunno what I’m doing.

[chilly veldt]

... What?

[graceful mauve]

Robots.txt tells you the directories you can crawl or not crawl

[empty forum]

if i insert a name var in imput (string), in output comes out in numbers, WHY >-<

[rapid merlin]

Oh

[lament tendon]

Can you maybe DM me your code snippet? 😅

[sinful moon]

What part of that was unclear Bella?

[graceful mauve]

She's upset at me

[sinful moon]

we won’t see the caching stuff much in THM but it’s all valid notes

[chilly veldt]

Just why all that should be needed to know for that room

[graceful mauve]

You don't

[rapid merlin]

I sent you the name of the room

[graceful mauve]

It's just a couple of notes from the vast pool of cybersecurity concepts

[chilly veldt]

Yee, I'm checking it out in a few, I'm out smoking

[graceful mauve]

That's like 0.0001% of it

[sinful moon]

Good for real life and just understanding gobuster in general

[chilly veldt]

Indeed, but just overcomplicating an easy room

[sinful moon]

she never told us the room lol

but apperently told you

[chilly veldt]

She said it was an easy room

[sand trench]

it is just what shadow calls pizza sauce as in sweden it is generally just tomato paste

[graceful mauve]

I'm not overcomplicating it. I'm helping for future reference. You need to know this stuff

[sinful moon]

Even just simple nmap external scanning at work, I’ve indeed had some ISPs dramatically rate limit me in, which results in some very odd symptoms

[exotic vector]

this is why I rate limit my scans

[fringe nacelle]

I'll give it a try one day if I'm ever bored. The pizza you shared

[graceful mauve]

I've been rate limited so many times by using the wrong connection chain in my workflows

[fringe nacelle]

Increase the threads

[graceful mauve]

Never fun, but they should never randomly block or blacklist you

[upper minnow]

I got rate limited trying to hack my own pc

[rapid merlin]

Hi, can someone help me with advice please? I want to change the email associated with my thm account but I'm afraid i might lose the premium subscription or progress

[pallid lotus]

Many of them do.
I outright used that to complicate one of my challenges a few years back

[graceful mauve]

I fork bombed my computer into rate limiting me

[sinful moon]

I think I remember that one Muiri, that was fun

[pallid lotus]

Jellyfish, aye

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[pallid lotus]

I still go back and rewatch the Alhazred stream of that one when I need a mood boost 🤣

[graceful mauve]

I haven't encountered it yet personally. But that's interesting

[pallid lotus]

You would be amazed at how out of joint many CTF players get when you give them a box with a public IP.

[sick lance]

UPLOAD MOAR CONTENT.

[sand trench]

at least year of the jellyfish can send its rev shells back over tryhackme vpn ip:s

[pallid lotus]

[sick lance]

Pft.

[sinful moon]

As far as I know, changing your email address will have no impact on your subscription or progress. Those are tied to your account not your email address

[upper minnow]

So whats the solution besides doing it slower?

[graceful mauve]

Haha, they're like "I deafen, I attack"

[pallid lotus]

sssssshhhhhh
That was the funniest part -- watching people try to send them back over the internet when they really didn't need to

[graceful mauve]

We're not talking about defending and attacking right?

[sand trench]

for year of the jellyfish it is just attacking but yeah

[rapid merlin]

Thanks, will give it a shot. saw a reddit post that's why I asked here

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #34 - 275)

It's so painstaking moving notes.

[sand trench]

anyways time to head to store to buy noodles....
tryhackme discord chat do you want something????

[sinful moon]

No worries, besides if something goes wrong for whatever reason, that’s what we have the support team for

[wooden totem]

Is that a name

[pallid lotus]

I did 600 pages manually from Cherrytree to Trilium in 2021. Never again.

[mellow gull]

Pokemon cards

[sick lance]

Yeah, Muiri has a few boxes Year of the *

[pallid lotus]

Not least because I now have 4000 odd pages

[grizzled void]

i want some noodles too

[sick lance]

i'm currently shifting Obsidian to TrillumNext.

[sinful moon]

lol lets see how my Logseq back to Obsidian goes

[sand trench]

doubt they have any but will look

[graceful mauve]

You need a custom note parser that functions on blocks with a control character

[sick lance]

and stuff from Notion, Microsoft Onenote, and all my folders

[upper minnow]

Back pain medicine

[pallid lotus]

Yesssssssssss
Also, you should be able to do a markdown import on that

[sinful moon]

Trilium didn’t look very appealing to me but I would be curious why everyone loves it

[pallid lotus]

Or just use the import feature

[pallid lotus]

You take that back

[wooden totem]

There's so many companies that they are no unique names anymore

[sinful moon]

Always makes me think of Trillian the IM client lol

[upper minnow]

Ive been using google docs for notes

[graceful mauve]

It's too easy thoo

[upper minnow]

Cos then i can open it from any device

[sinful moon]

No that’s why I’m honestly asking lol

[pliant onyx]

I have started using feroxbuster

[pliant onyx]

Google docs slaps

[sinful moon]

convince me before I move back to Obsidian since I’m about to begin migrating when I have time lol

[pliant onyx]

I used to make notes on it all the time

I have now moved on to Obsidian

[pallid lotus]

Hehe, not true. That's one of the big problems for CTF Devs actually.
There are still names available, you just have to grab one and hold on to it.
That's why I often build multiple challenges around the same brand. It makes things easier, and more realistic.

[pallid lotus]

Do you do any Windows exploitation?

[graceful mauve]

Also, check out fuff, amass, sublist3r.. You can learn to code in python eventually too

[sick lance]

Getting your notes nuked before sitting an exam?

[pallid lotus]

Literally, Spooky lost most of his OSEP notes the morning of the exam

[rapid merlin]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @graceful mauve (current: #451 - 13)

[upper minnow]

Im just afraid of ever getting my laptop stolen and losing all my notes

[sinful moon]

Alright, so it encrypts the notes on disk? That sounds like a potential downside as well though

[sick lance]

That's who I was thiking of, I just can't spell naniniasu

[pallid lotus]

Backups!!!

[sick lance]

3-2-1 backup of everything important.

[sinful moon]

and or whatever sync you setup

[pliant onyx]

Google Docs is the best thing for you then, though if your laptop gets stolen, then the thief would have access to your already logged in Google Docs and other things

[graceful mauve]

Np, although make sure you understand the difference in protocols used by DNS servers or web-based traffic communications

[grizzled void]

offsite backups :chefskiss:

[pallid lotus]

Trilium uses an encrypted sqlite DB replicated between the sync server and any connected clients.
It's ideal for redundancy

And has the added bonus of not letting AV nuke your notebook

[sinful moon]

Really great idea, but yeah I do kind of enjoy the simplicity of “just a bunch of .md files”

[upper minnow]

Thiefs around here mostly sell laptops and cellphones for parts

[pallid lotus]

Markdown is simpler, sure, but I wouldn't want my notebook sitting around in plaintext. Not least because if someone nicked it and used it for criminal activity, I suspect I may be in trouble.

[sick lance]

Something something your job wont like that.

[rapid merlin]

You want to help me a lot. You remind me of someone

[pallid lotus]

Also that

[sinful moon]

full disk encryption would be a compensating control I would say however, but fair depends on your threat model

[rapid merlin]

That happened to me

[pallid lotus]

Where are you putting your backups though? Bearing in mind Obsidian doesn't have built in sync. You can pay them for a sync server, but most people just use GitHub

In which case you've got your notes sitting in plaintext on a public SAAS

[sinful moon]

Yeah when I was using Obsidian I just used their sync. I do have a big iron server that I need to put to more use though lol

[near sapphire]

hash ur note bfr putting it to github

[pallid lotus]

Um

That... seems like an interesting choice

[pallid lotus]

You know hashing is, by nature, irreversible right?

Good way to lose all your notes

[near sapphire]

which is the joke

[graceful mauve]

Yeah no problem, just ask. Cybersecurity isn't easy, the deeper you go the harder/more fun it gets

[grizzled void]

you can make private repos so people cant just browse your notes too

[rapid merlin]

Mh 🙃 I’ve been doing cyber for two years

[pallid lotus]

1. There have been "won't fix" exploits recently that let people do that (albeit in certain conditions).
2. They're still plaintext, sitting on infrastructure owned by someone else.
3. If Microsoft decide they don't want to host your notebook, say goodbye to the primary copy.

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-down-girl-gif-14680558

[graceful mauve]

Crazy how time works in cyber

I've gotta do this shitty uni course

To get a cert

[pallid lotus]

... It works exactly the same way as it does in any industry

[rapid merlin]

Like it does in the real world 🤣 I’ve got certs

[pallid lotus]

And indeed in Life in general

[graceful mauve]

Life is forever complexing

[grizzled void]

i was under the impression that github was your backup not your primary copy

[rapid merlin]

I like how scrubz talks to me like I know what I’m doing. Since so many talk to me like I’m a potato

[sinful moon]

mhmm four years of IT/sysadmin/infosec myself professionally, the weeks just fly by

[graceful mauve]

I haven't got many certs but if you give me a day on a system, it should be fine

[rapid merlin]

Fr

Too much to do

[upper minnow]

I started 4 months ago and still feel like i now nothing

[pallid lotus]

Depends how many devices you're using the notes on.

If it's more than one then the remote needs to be the primary copy or you end up in a mess. It becomes essentially the same as collaborative software development.

[rapid merlin]

That’s how it’s meant to feel

[pallid lotus]

If you only ever have the notebook on one device then yes, you can afford to make the local copy your primary copy, but that's poor practice for Git.

[rapid merlin]

One day you’ll be like oh right I knew that

[sick lance]

I can use Triluim on a USB stick right?

That's the one quesiton I forgot look up,

[pallid lotus]

... What tf are you playing at

What's the end goal here lmao

[rapid merlin]

I have learnt so much it makes me sleepy

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, AD/GPO was the biggest thing I was missing in my knowledge when I got started and that was both a wakeup call and a revelation

“Oh this is how Windows was supposed to actually be administrated”

[sick lance]

I have an open book exam, and we're allowed access to our notes, I'm not allowed to remote ouf of the Uni.

[graceful mauve]

I created an asynchronous website resolver earlier. I'm happy

[sick lance]

Eh, I'll just shift my notes to USB stick.

[graceful mauve]

In bash, it's got custom subprocess handling like xargs

[pallid lotus]

Oh, gotcha.
Yes, if you're able to run unsigned exes it should boot off a USB...

[sick lance]

Yes, I'm knee deep in AI right now, I forgot that term

[pallid lotus]

In that case though, I would consider exporting them all to HTML to be safe

[sick lance]

Ya.

[pallid lotus]

It's not as pretty, but it would guarantee they're accessible

[rapid merlin]

Same I’m looking into it too

[upper minnow]

I went the opposite direction lol

[mellow narwhal]

Making your own models, or studying data science?

[rapid merlin]

I print my work into folders too

[upper minnow]

Was really into AI but now im all for cyber

[sick lance]

I'm making my own ML to analyse emails and attachments and mark as spam/unsafe etc.

[pallid lotus]

What's the difference?

[mellow narwhal]

Ohh gotcha

Logistic regression, right?

[rapid merlin]

That’s cool, im looking into ml too

You learning that with your uni?

[upper minnow]

Its much more fun

[graceful mauve]

You should use n8n unless you've got something better

[sinful moon]

I will say that’s very neat work, but yeah I’ll let others train the models personally. But yeah that will look awesome on your resume

[mellow narwhal]

AI and cybersecurity intertwine in some ways

[graceful mauve]

I'll spend hours coding but when it comes to AI I want it to be as efficient and fast as possible

[sick lance]

I'll probably just stick to what I'm getting taught, for exam reasons and all.

[sinful moon]

or at least as a project that is mentioned

[pallid lotus]

End of the day, "cyber" isn't really a topic in its own right. It's a mastery of other topics and understanding how things can be abused inside those topics.
AI falls very much into that box.

LLM Pentests are becoming increasingly common as well

[graceful mauve]

Yeah, plus you can always leverage what you learn

[sick lance]

Everything has an LLM these days.

I even seen one for Burp.

[sinful moon]

LLMs are so fun to poke at when you have the authorization to break them

[pallid lotus]

Try working for a bloody bank

[mellow narwhal]

Not very good ones, though

[sick lance]

I TRIED!

[pallid lotus]

Some things are just a bad idea

[sick lance]

I was OVER QUALIFIED.

[mellow narwhal]

I want to do this with Deepseek, but... no authorization 🤣

[sick lance]

How can a student applying for a grad spot be over qualified.

[sinful moon]

lol totally fair

[pallid lotus]

Run it locally then

[sinful moon]

mhmm this

[mellow narwhal]

Not enough resources to handle it, I think.

[upper minnow]

I find it insane how companies will refuse ppl for being overqualified

Whats the logic

[pallid lotus]

Eh, the 1.5B model should run on most stuff

[grizzled void]

I was working a on a little AI assistant for a minute. I can access via discord give it a wake word or mention it and it would execute commands for me.

[pallid lotus]

That's usually a euphemism for something else.

[mellow narwhal]

What about on a host with 8 gb ram?

[pallid lotus]

What's the GPU like?

[graceful mauve]

Should I make open source projects, why vs why not?

[sick lance]

Oh no, you said GPU, Chick3nman is gonna pop up any second.

[pallid lotus]

Remember it's mainly VRAM it wants

[pallid lotus]

It's like saying Ippsec

Sooner or later he'll appear

[sick lance]

😂 Yup.

[sinful moon]

why would you even consider not to? Do you have some proprietary secret sauce you’re looking to protect?

[grizzled void]

maybe they have the krabby patty formula 😮

[sinful moon]

lol

[graceful mauve]

Pretty much, why would I want to share my script

[sinful moon]

open source and git history looks amazing if you’re ever asked to share it in an interview

also it just… can help others

[mellow narwhal]

DirectX 12, 112 mb of VRAM

[sick lance]

Getting there, slowly but surely.

[rapid merlin]

That’s why I didn’t want to talk too much about what I was doing earlier

[sinful moon]

Uh does that mean iGPU, 112MB of VRAM makes no sense otherwise unless that’s your current shared RAM use for that

[graceful mauve]

Trust me. It's wise. Stay like that

[wooden totem]

tall people seem more serious idk if its just me

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/ironic-isnt-it-wednesday-addams-jenna-ortega-wednesday-how-ironic-gif-27434158

[rapid merlin]

It’s true I’m goofy and I’m only 5ft3

Silly goose 🪿

[graceful mauve]

The only times I share code are with collaborators

Other than that, it's my shit, fuck off

[near sapphire]

why dont companies want to hire someone thats "over qualified"

[lament tendon]

They just see more of the problems.

[wooden totem]

I wonder if it works to other way, you grow taller the more serious you are

[sinful moon]

Do keep in mind you don’t have to go open source from the start either, keep your repo private until you’re ready to share

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, okay, you might struggle

[lament tendon]

(I am kidding.)

[rapid merlin]

I’m not growing 😆

[graceful mauve]

Yeah true

[sick lance]

Paranoid the hire would ask for more pay, perhaps they want a student they can boss around.

This was for a well known bank too.

[sinful moon]

But yeah I do stand by my point that open source and git history looks great in interviews. Which lol leads to that meme about Github acctivity

[rapid merlin]

As in the making of projects ?

Or am I completely lost here

😂

[sinful moon]

Ah yep, called it, yeah that won’t be fun for AI Hades

[mellow narwhal]

Yep :(

[wooden totem]

prob doesn't work, scrubz would be 8 feet tall by now

[sick lance]

I'm average height, thank you very much.

He said, being smaller than his partner.

[fringe nacelle]

Coding your own website and turning it into a blog is also great

[sinful moon]

I was just still replying to Revell “Re: Open Source, what does it matter practically”. Doesn’t matter if you make projects or contribute, just that you can show some history if asked, if it’s even relevant, in an interview

[rapid merlin]

Ohh okay cool

I have 0 git hub history

[sinful moon]

For infosec, probably won’t matter, but good to have if you are doing any coding anyways

Much more so for software devs tho

[near sapphire]

I plan to do that once I learned some web dev

[shut hawk]

Plus, with all due respect, there are probably 10 fold of what you've made already out there. There's a reason even huge companies still open-source their stuff

[rapid merlin]

Ah yes, I’ve been looking into software creation

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

[ancient saddle]

hey, does anyone know any methods to decrypt a hard drive that was encrypted using bitlocker (win7). What to do if the tpm does not contain the key and the hard drive is encrypted via password

[sick lance]

They key could be in your Windows account.

[sinful moon]

I can’t say much beyond contributing to a couple open source projects but hey even that’s something, even if it was sporadically.

[sick lance]

Assuming it's yours.

[fringe nacelle]

I'm just following a YouTube series rn. The guy went to uni for web development and it's been a very fun and chill experience.

From developing mine it's helped me understand web exploitation better ngl

[ancient saddle]

u mean the recovery key?

[sick lance]

Yes.

[ancient saddle]

yeah actually im trying to get the data back from a friend which does not know the password anymore.

I could take a look at that

[near sapphire]

which series is that if I may know

[sinful moon]

Yeah check their Microsoft account then online

[ancient saddle]

if that is not the case are there any other options

were there any exploits or something back in win7 bitlocker

[sick lance]

I'm not comfortable telling you, I can't prove it's yours 😄

or your friends.

[sinful moon]

No idea if Windows 7 was ever this smart but modern Windows saves bitlocker keys to Microsoft accounts/Azure

Yeah we can’t go any further than that

All I can say, is that Windows would have asked you to save the key to an unencrypted drive, most likely a USB flash drive was used

for backup

[ancient saddle]

yeah i can tell you more of the story if you do not believe:
my friends dad passed away sadly. He was a musician and encrypted his data on a hard drive. This hard drive is encrypted til today and the family does not know the password.

[fringe nacelle]

Dani Krossing. The series is 6 years old, but seems like it still holds up today. I haven't gotten too deep yet, but I know frameworks are needed in some cases later down the line.

[shut hawk]

Check if he reused any passwords you know of, or maybe he put it in the will?

[ancient saddle]

they did already

[fringe nacelle]

Html and css tutorial to be exact.

[ancient saddle]

its not the case

[sick lance]

Or got it written down.

[ancient saddle]

they checked all that

its litteraly impossible to get the password

[sinful moon]

Yeah all we can say Tiiita, look for the flash drive they may have saved the bitlocker keys to, that would have been most common way back then… or what scrubz said

[shut hawk]

I'd probably seek professional advice, if it means a lot

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah, take it to a professional

[ancient saddle]

yeah

thanks

[shut hawk]

Sorry we can't be of assistance, good luck with it

[ancient saddle]

Probably close enough

[chilly veldt]

so yes

[mellow narwhal]

Teach them this language

[rapid merlin]

After some thoughts I don’t think what I want to create should be open source at all, this is relating back to previous chats. It would pose a security risk, I wouldn’t want something getting into the wrong hands and causing issues before it’s even released.

[sinful moon]

Don’t remind me I’m one of the only millennial and olders around lol

[shell nova]

Nah

[sinful moon]

currently

[mellow narwhal]

millenial??

[shell nova]

Nah

[sinful moon]

I have some friends in this chat who are much older

[chilly veldt]

I am only 21

As a beginner, an open source program will help you learn. You want to know before you start if it's going to be open source or closed-sourcd

[sand trench]

One of the only is inclusive for you all c:

[mellow narwhal]

What if someone paid you to code an app with it?

[graceful mauve]

But if you can create something someone else can't, then why release it as open source?

[rapid merlin]

I just told you why my project would be closed and not open to the public.

[graceful mauve]

I'm giving you multiple perspectives

[sick lance]

You're immortal.

[grizzled void]

is it a one time thing? because maybe

[sinful moon]

Either way just keep your git project private until such time as you’re actually ready to decide

[sand trench]

until proven otherwise yes

[rapid merlin]

There is no world where it would be safe or ethical to have a project like the one I want to make safe and secure for the average user to use.

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah.
~~But what if it, along with the pay, is consistent ~~

[grizzled void]

then no lmao

[graceful mauve]

You can include disclaimers in open source ensuring it is not intended to be used for malicious purposes

[mellow narwhal]

This actually exists, btw

I wrote a program in it for fun

[grizzled void]

oh im fully aware

[sinful moon]

That’s fair but lest I remind you we have very many malicious tools that are open source because the help red teaming and more

I'm sorry

Never seen a disclaimer stop a criminal before 😅

We don’t take risks like that

oh that's a spoopy decision

[mellow narwhal]

what's a self defense pen, and why on the dark web

[near sapphire]

you good shadow?

[sand trench]

yeah that was back in 2014

[graceful mauve]

Anything you publish can be forked for malicious purposes, so there's that argument to be had

[sand trench]

common metal housing pen with capability to break a car window or deal out decent pain if swung into someones arm or legs or body

[mellow narwhal]

damn ._.

[sand trench]

why on the dark web?? because shadow was young and stupid

they are not illegal to own either

i.e shadow could just have bought one on amazon

[mellow narwhal]

No questions asked? Because of the fact that you bought it on the dark web?

[sand trench]

well it arrived and shadow got it with near 0 problems

[sinful moon]

Your co-workers will thank you if this is for work, and if not, good habbit to be in for such

[sand trench]

well yeah.... the best thing to come out of it is shadow forgot about a bitcoin wallet they had and then found that wallet and keys again in 2020 and gained 500 usd

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 953)

[sinful moon]

lol nice accidental thanks

[chilly veldt]

there's no coworker who's ever going to touch this

[grizzled void]

i actively avoid courses that wanted to meet at early times like this

[rapid merlin]

Mmh toast

[glass kindle]

The Pentesting path is really awesome , but took me almost a year to complete(on and off)

[near sapphire]

wtf lol

[mellow narwhal]

I actually had to get up everyday at this time for a year

To attend classes

[chilly veldt]

we are looking to outsource what I am doing, and this documentation is for quality purposes due to iso stuff

[shell nova]

Then future you will thank you later

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 954)

[sinful moon]

All the more reason to document it honestly, no one should be unreplacable for something that is important to the busieness

[chilly veldt]

not when I am leaving in 11 months

[shell nova]

Future you can be 3 months later too

[mellow narwhal]

Have ChatGPT document it

[chilly veldt]

my code is documentational enough

[shell nova]

I've kicked past me in the arse on multiple occasions

[sinful moon]

I’m literally the only one who administrates our Linux serves and knows my custom docker setup, thats why I documented it throughly

[shell nova]

Lol

Document the why, not the what

[chilly veldt]

and it only is that because it's quite literally yaml for setting up routers

[sinful moon]

I’m not going to leave some new employee to just reverse engineer my docker compose setup, they probably will barely know Linux

[shell nova]

Code can explain the what, but not the meta behind the why

[sinful moon]

Routers are an extremely important thing to document for the future indeed

more so than my silly docker setup for subborn customers

[chilly veldt]

we are looking into outsourcing the whole router thing for an external company that does all the troubleshooting and everything for us

instead of it being 100% me

[sinful moon]

yet again all the more reason that it’s documented somewhere

documentation is king in IT

[chilly veldt]

I don't get paid enough for this

[sinful moon]

You’re likely not wrong, but this is still your job

[chilly veldt]

technically it's not

[sinful moon]

You do have a bit of a responsibility to not hoard knowledge and pass it along

[chilly veldt]

it's never been my job

[shell nova]

Then why are you doing it?

[chilly veldt]

cause it's pushed on me

[shell nova]

Defacto your job becomes your job

[chilly veldt]

and I am the only one with fingers on my hand and a brain that can think for itself

[shell nova]

Kinda stupid but yeah

[sinful moon]

indeed, that would describe me wearing “all the hats”

[shell nova]

I just wear the black one these days...

[sinful moon]

lol I wish

[shell nova]

(red team best team)

[sinful moon]

<3

[shell nova]

Although current pentest is going to be a pain...

[chilly veldt]

the technical reason why I got it, cause of this stupid clause in my contract:

AREA OF WORK AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1. The intern's primary duties consist of (but are not limited to) IT administration and support.
Additional task descriptions can be added separately at any time.
2.2. The intern must follow the instructions on the execution of the work which are valid at all
times.

[sinful moon]

I’m blue team/red team/security enginneer/SOC manager/sysadmin/compliance manager and more all in one!

[shell nova]

Can argue that the work assigned isn't valid

[sinful moon]

not really blue/red formally, just infosec all in one 🙃

[shell nova]

But kind of your problem for accepting that clause, I'm afraid

[chilly veldt]

indeed

[graceful mauve]

Underated comment fr

[chilly veldt]

18 year old me was stupid

[graceful mauve]

Documentation is way underestimated

[shell nova]

Don't worry, we all hate writing docs

[sinful moon]

Indeed, although it is somewhat cathartic lol

[shell nova]

Hopefully it'll be a learning experience for next time

[slow cloud]

really depends on the docs for me

[sinful moon]

But yeah very nessessary

[chilly veldt]

it is, to not have that as broad

[shell nova]

Necessary, but I still hate writing that stuff

[sand trench]

have you checked out lazy docker yet???

[sinful moon]

No one would know what the heck my Linux servers were doing without me, I’m still the only one who have touched them

[shell nova]

I found it underwhelming tbh

[sinful moon]

Not sure what lazy docker is in comparsion lol

[shell nova]

Same with lazygit

[sick lance]

AI lab time.

[shell nova]

Glhf

Don't trigger the apocalypse?

[sand trench]

tui client to handle docker and docker compose containers

[near sapphire]

was abt to say that but hydra beat me to it

[sand trench]

it uses the docker commands on the backend but has nice tui helpful features

[sinful moon]

but nah making my first docker-compose.yml was trivial so I don’t know how to make that any simpler

[sick lance]

https://tenor.com/view/no-guarantees-david-david-rose-dan-levy-schitts-creek-gif-20790446

[sinful moon]

Nah I’ll pass then, docker is already dead simple

[shell nova]

K9s on the other hand

[sinful moon]

that I can agree with lol

I still need more K8s experience, but lol scalability has never been a need for my projects

[sand trench]

the doggo from doctor who???

[grizzled void]

when i mess with docker i always install portainer cuz i like the gui 💀

doctor who so good

[shell nova]

Heh, also a tui app for k8s management

[sinful moon]

Oh nice, thanks for the info

[chilly veldt]

whenever someone writes tui I keep thinking about the airline thingy

[sinful moon]

should have pinged so here’s an extra thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @shell nova (current: #13 - 619)

[chilly veldt]

or vacation thingy

[sand trench]

probably should make a simple script to update the open-webui docker container

[shell nova]

Didn't the airline part get renamed ?

Or was that just corsair

[sand trench]

oh noes..... the new season of invincible starts airing on thursday.... and shadow is out of budget to pay for more streaming services.... unless shadow taps into some of the savings money

[chilly veldt]

idk maybe

[shell nova]

Probably should pick and choose what you want

[sinful moon]

Streaming gross, physical media is the way

[shell nova]

Yeah but then the wife gets cranky about storage

[sand trench]

doubt they release invincible on physical media in time for shadow to not get spoiled but yeah agree

[sinful moon]

lol I get that, we have over 1,600 Blu-rays alone, and lets not talk about how much it takes on the NAS c:

[rapid merlin]

Would someone be able to look at my writing and tell me if it’s correct. I don’t want to post it in general 😅

[shell nova]

Tbf I don't watch a lot of tv/movies

[chilly veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/letterkenny-to-be-fair-serious-lets-be-fair-gif-16087355

[shell nova]

That bad, eh?

[sinful moon]

Yeah doesn’t help when both me and the SO are film buffs

[rapid merlin]

Also coughing so much with this infection. The amoxicillin ain’t helping that much

[shell nova]

I'm more the board game nerd

[sinful moon]

although my SO likes to get any crappy movie he can justify for cheap

[near sapphire]

what do you like

[sand trench]

apparently shadow owns the only blu rays in this house currently

[shell nova]

All the things?

[sand trench]

and shadows little brother stated shadow is stupid for no one uses blu rays or physical cd:s anymore

[grizzled void]

I play you in some monopoly

[chilly veldt]

gotta love looking at wiring diagrams

[shell nova]

I mean I don't even have a BluRay player

[near sapphire]

ur fav? I like coup

[sinful moon]

That sucks, hope you get better soon!

[near sapphire]

ahhh white

blinded

[sinful moon]

All you really need is a blu-ray drive with custom firmware.

but indeed, I still got some anyways

[shell nova]

Antibiotics do nothing against viral infections

[grizzled void]

I am a risk enjoyer

[rapid merlin]

They gave me it at the doctors for a chest infection

[shell nova]

Don't have one of those either

[sinful moon]

we have two in our dual xeon server alone c:

[graceful mauve]

Sure

[sand trench]

shadow got one

as shadow showed noir a few days ago

[sinful moon]

under load the server goes burrrrr

[graceful mauve]

What's the point of the switch extender?

[chilly veldt]

to extend the usb cables

[sand trench]

shadow is still wondering what they should do for NAS

[graceful mauve]

What's this for?

[chilly veldt]

meeting rooms

[sand trench]

kinda wanna buy a pre made nas box but also want open source software

[sinful moon]

Depends on how pricey or simple/complicated you want to get

[sand trench]

budget range 100 usd to 1000 usd

[sinful moon]

then you’re looking at cheap but complicated

oh

[sand trench]

preferably the interface should be easy enough for a tech savy dad in his 50:s to use

[sinful moon]

I just can’t say I know of many prebuilts enclosures without OSes then, check Serve the Home blog

oh well that’s even tricker

[sand trench]

or at least it should work to use with windows machines at minimum

[sinful moon]

all will lol, but fair

[graceful mauve]

That's cool, wiring diagrams for the provisioning of devices on a network segment?

[sand trench]

the problem with closed source NAS is you have no idea what it is doing in the background

[sinful moon]

if you want to go to the darkside though, yes Synology and Ubiquitity will give you simple UIs

that’s fair but… both of those are just Linux

[grizzled void]

ZimaOS has a pretty nice GUI

[sand trench]

yeah but those sound pricy for the performance ratio

[sinful moon]

and you have terminal access

[sand trench]

but yeah probably synology or ubiquitity

[sinful moon]

mhmm, so build your own with FreeNAS or whatever it’s called

[graceful mauve]

Isn't NAT just storage accessed over an IP connection?

[grizzled void]

I like UnRAID

[sinful moon]

that too

[sand trench]

nah NAT is network access translation

[sinful moon]

*NAS yes

[sand trench]

NAS is network attached storage

[graceful mauve]

Ohh I mean NAS

Mb

[sand trench]

no problem

shadow just had fun because both are things inside tech

[sinful moon]

just don’t ask me why a SAN is different than a NAS lol

[sand trench]

storage attached network reminds shadow of freenet

[grizzled void]

SAN is block-level storage

[sinful moon]

And how is that different in particular?

[chilly veldt]

no, wiring diagram for adding peripherals to a meeting room, such as cameras etc.

[sinful moon]

In our medium sized business client the device we describe as SAN is just a rackmount NAS

[pallid lotus]

Why is a SAN different than a NAS? /Jk

[pallid lotus]

How the heck do you get away with that?

[grizzled void]

a SAN is a network of devices operating as a storage unit

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/picmix-blue-heart-looking-up-grass-gif-10062877366531404021

[sinful moon]

Thank you that is clear and probably doesn’t help with my business confusing the terms lol
