I had Mexican food yesterday, it was good but I couldn’t justify the cost to have more 🥲

[eternal timber]

want a burrito

[rapid merlin]

I just make my own brotha

[carmine tinsel]

And edgy ppl glorifying unethical hacking

[dusk reef]

i've been craving americas attempt at mexican food lately, where instead of shells we have doritos

[fossil merlin]

I asked a question in another server 4 months ago and got treated like a fucking asshole lmao.

Not even a dumb question, I researched independently (as I always do) and got lost

[half girder]

i didnt have mexican food since the end of corona .. there is a really good texmex restaurant next to rammstein base .. really need to go there again, but driving there takes time

[rapid merlin]

mmmmm texmex

[carmine tinsel]

Oh I hate when that happens, ppl always wanna judge just bc you asked a question

[rapid merlin]

southern people sure can cook some amazing food

[dusk reef]

me asking a cybersecurity question in "Programmers hangout" discord

[mossy river]

I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience elsewhere but I’m glad you enjoy the TryHackMe community 🙂

That is my #1 goal

[whole gazelle]

it's me mario!

[fossil merlin]

I am making hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and onion gravy tn.

Maybe I'll be able to stop losing weight

[split compass]

I doubt anyone is actually a master.
But I see no reason they wouldn't be enough depending on your goals.

Also RegEx.
If you master that, you will be exalted.

[fossil merlin]

I am already having a great experience ☺️

[rapid merlin]

not really, people here can understand that other people have their own preferences

onion gravyyyy

[half girder]

from their perspective, they want to avoid malware devs, thats why you will always get weird reactions there regarding cybersec. experienced that as well.

[rapid merlin]

i havent had onion gravy with steak in forever

[fossil merlin]

Just enough feral behavior to make it fun while also giving good information @mossy river

[rapid merlin]

why did I make mexican again

hope you have a good productive day or night everyone

[dusk reef]

me: "cybersecurity"
them: "what did you just say? did you just say the C word? vomits"

[fossil merlin]

80/20 beef patties, onion gravy and potatoes.

Cheap ahhhhhh slop that tastes good.

[split compass]

Depends on your approach.
Each hacking community will have its own ettiquette.
Get it wrong, and its not so much that they'll gatekeep, but they will selectively ostracize.

[dusk reef]

"if you ever, bring up that word AGAIN I will have you killed and hung"

[mossy river]

That’s the balance I try to inspire - really nice to hear that others feel it’s working well 😄

[dusk reef]

it's almost as bad when you reach the word vosotros in a spanish class

[upper minnow]

oh god dont get me started on plural second person

[carmine tinsel]

What an apt comparison 😹

[fossil merlin]

[upper minnow]

both in portuguese and spanish its hell

and absolutely no one uses it

idk why we even have to learn it

[fossil merlin]

Hey wait a minute they might be cooking here....

[fossil merlin]

Yeah it's a matter of finding a right fit, still, doesn't feel good when you're the one in question

[carmine tinsel]

Damn not even ustedes

[blazing granite]

it's even worst when you're forced to study that and you don't use at all. I grew up in Argentina, my primary school was full of vosotros 😂 but nobody use it outside the classroom, people don't speak like that in Argentina

[dusk reef]

I heard it's like a spain word

[blazing granite]

they use it in Spain for sure

[fossil merlin]

El español es duro como un chico pálido. 😔😔😔😔

[dusk reef]

I dont think spanish class actually works, because I took 3 spanish classes and I could never speak it

I can like 50/50 read it

[fossil merlin]

Independent study is really important in any second language as an adult

[blazing granite]

it doen't make any sense 😂

[carmine tinsel]

all my language teachers have been terrible hehe, I’ve tried learning Spanish on my own when I was a teen but it never seemed to stick in my mind

[dusk reef]

I kinda just gave up spanish after being done with the classes because I wanted to focus on other things

[woven zephyr]

hi, im currently in the completley beginner path in the nmap section
managed to connect to open vpn from my own machine
can ping 10.10.10.10 but cannot ping the machine it gave me to nmap to
is there a different openvpn config?

[fossil merlin]

I'm fucking TRYING

[rich zenith]

VirusTotal has deemed crackstation as malicious. 2/96 security vendors flagged this URL as malicious. I was getting "your connection is not private" error!! Any thoughts?

[fossil merlin]

Whatever man I'm never learning anything new again. 🤬

[blazing granite]

you said that is Spanish as hard as a pale kid 😂

[eternal timber]

chat

[iron pivot]

Yoloo I'm back again to annoy yall

[fossil merlin]

Yep. I am the pale boy in question

[lament tendon]

Your VPN seems to be working fine, I suspect there is another issue.

[dusk reef]

if i ever attempt to learn another language i want it it to be slavic

because there D looks funny

[half girder]

well, learning a language is really difficult. one thing is to learn the word and grammar, but when it comes to the point you speak on a level like a native speaker and not doing 1:1 translation, is really tough. after years, i still stumble over mistakes.

[fossil merlin]

I can help you with Ukrainian owo

[dusk reef]

and there H makes an N sound

and there N makes an I sound

and there I doesnt exist

specifically in russian

[eternal timber]

I need a show about programming

[lament tendon]

I is a reverse N.

[dusk reef]

because i did 1 duolingo course on ukraine, then went to russian and then quit on russian

[carmine tinsel]

It’s going to be 3 hours of a guy debugging in frustration

(im guy)

[fossil merlin]

Moon runes >.<

[lament tendon]

И = I

[dusk reef]

and it turns out russian is a curse, because once you get that language on your keyboard

[gleaming grove]

what

[dusk reef]

one wrong accidental keybind your keyboard is now in russian and then it happens so unoften that you have no clue how to switch it back

[upper minnow]

ive been learning japanese and its tough

[iron pivot]

Ahem ahem so if anyone read my previous qna I told I was gonna get a secondary device so uhmm iPad or laptop 😅

[upper minnow]

ive already learned the hiraganas but now i have to remember the katakanas too 😭

[thorn scaffold]

hi all

[carmine tinsel]

I want to learn another language for real one of these days

[fossil merlin]

I am pale and had a hard time learning Spanish, it's just a chat throwaway joke don't worry. 😔

[carmine tinsel]

I heard duolingo uses AI tho so I gotta hunt for another platform

[fossil merlin]

Yepppppp

[dusk reef]

is there a way to learn a language but put in 0 of the effort required

[jade kayak]

depends if its not using https but instead using http basically your vulnerable or its a virus

[dusk reef]

like are there machines that can just put the language in my brain

[fossil merlin]

Marry a foreign national and have them speak for you

[gleaming grove]

jajaja np

[jade kayak]

nope

[lament tendon]

Switch the language of all your important devices to only use that language.
Or move to a country where it is the primary language.

[dusk reef]

best way to learn a language is to go to another country and get arrested

then you will be forced to learn the language

[fossil merlin]

None made in the next decade that id trust

[dusk reef]

i did that once, horrible idea

[fossil merlin]

Join the French foreign legion

[blazing granite]

I got the meaning but the sentence in Spanish doesn't make any sense 😂 , maybe you can say "El espa#ol es tan dificil como ser un chico ( also you can say adolescente) palido"

[fossil merlin]

Ohhhhhhh

[jade kayak]

its unethical but its def a strat and ITS FREE

[thorn scaffold]

not sure its free

[upper knoll]

evening all

[fossil merlin]

Also, you get to commit a CRIME uwu

[carmine tinsel]

Evening

[thorn scaffold]

the whole point of getting arrested is that you gotta pay smnth

[dusk reef]

first word you could learn with the prison method: "ГУЛАГ"

[jade kayak]

feeling like dom toretto

[blazing granite]

the best way to learn a language is immersion, how do you get that immersion it's a personal choice 😂

[jade kayak]

nah its warcrimes for sure

[half girder]

anyone with prison experience can tell about learning languages there? 😂

[upper minnow]

best way to learn a language is necessity

[dusk reef]

thats why you go to jail so you are immersed without the ability to back out

like a wimp

[upper minnow]

anyone that doesnt speak english has to learn it sooner or later to understand anything on the internet

[jade kayak]

ya

[thorn scaffold]

id arrest people who are under 40 and cant say a word in english

but they spend time on the internet

[upper minnow]

i learned mainly from trying to play flash games on the intenret

[drowsy dust]

Not me but I know they have a ton of books that they could learn from

[dusk reef]

i learned from existing

[jade kayak]

i think theres a free library but idk myself

[dusk reef]

I can also speak another language called "southern"

learned that one from existing too

[blazing granite]

necessity is not the way, is probably the drive that will push you to learn faster 🙂

[jade kayak]

i speak southern and western aswell as northern and southern but its too challenging to speak them

[dusk reef]

someone should have a child and the only language they are allowed to be around for the first few years is a programming language

[drowsy dust]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-worldwide-gif-26368506

[dusk reef]

would the child be speaking the programming language?

[upper minnow]

teach the kid haskell

[pallid lotus]

I mean, good luck communicating entirely in a programming language... they tend to be a bit light on nouns

SPL aside

[drowsy dust]

[upper minnow]

i have a friend who always pesters me trying to make me learn haskell

[dusk reef]

instead of legos, give the kid logic gates

those are the legos

[jade kayak]

i can image the child saying “ If (cookiepls==yes)
print(“THANK YOU”)
else:
print(“NOOO”)

[dusk reef]

logic gates are legos for nerds

[upper minnow]

but like to learn haskell you first need to learn category theory and my maths arent that strong

[half girder]

despite even adults dont even understand properly how they work ^^

[loud marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/deer-ice-gone-jumping-gif-13261777

I may or may not have the subjects for my physics test tmrw

[pallid lotus]

... and good luck teaching them logic

[jade kayak]

💀

[fossil merlin]

I was a penpal with a guy in a French prison

[dusk reef]

y

[jade kayak]

im not teaching them logic

yet

when their born

[dusk reef]

teach your child to be illogical

[jade kayak]

fr

[dusk reef]

logic gates = logic child

[jade kayak]

i dont have a child tho

[dusk reef]

logic child = 100 in math class

[jade kayak]

so

[dark mason]

How do I kill a child (process)

??

[pallid lotus]

They don't need any help with that...

[jade kayak]

so first

[loud marlin]

@pallid lotus since you might be one that can answer... if for example some brake AES or some big as that. is there "backup plan" on some encryption bo be in same rank ?

[dusk reef]

if i have a child, i want them to be able to recite truth tables and be able to build me an 8 bit ALU for fun

[drowsy dust]

Child labor at its finest

[jade kayak]

||you wild for opening this||

[pallid lotus]

Not Yet™️
There are other algorithms either experimental or in use which are designed to be quantum safe. That's the key word to look up -- quantum safe cryptography

[jade kayak]

bro is not giving his child a break

[dusk reef]

"look what I made dad"
and it's a bunch of papers on how to make an rtx-6090

[pallid lotus]

No chance. Children suck

[fossil merlin]

I'm never having one

[jade kayak]

“Look what i made dad” made a general AI

[loud marlin]

that's is what i think initialy. if quantum brake AES that there is backup or smth

[fossil merlin]

I like my friends kids and allat but I'm never, ever, having my own

I can barely take care of myself

[carmine tinsel]

Real, I love babies but I’m never having one

[dusk reef]

since you said that, I'll make sure you have a kid in the next 5 years

[jade kayak]

by general ai i mean an ai that can think for itself

[upper minnow]

id be too afraid to raise a kid wrong

[fossil merlin]

👉👈

[upper minnow]

also the world is kinda scary

[dusk reef]

yk what, if i had a super power it would be the curse of making people have unwanted children

[carmine tinsel]

You don’t need a superpower for that

[jade kayak]

nah thats crazy

[jade kayak]

☠️

nah you wilding

[upper minnow]

i would have the abortion counterspell

[loud marlin]

@pallid lotus so is safe to say that we are on last known safe encryption until quantum does not become the real quantum and we need smth same against it?

[fossil merlin]

NVM I'm not posting that

Had second thoughts

[dusk reef]

dw, for men what the super power does is make you have an unhappy phone call with your ex

[jade kayak]

THESE ARE TOO DETAILED

[pallid lotus]

Oh please don't. There are enough humans on this planet as is

[jade kayak]

nope

[loud marlin]

explain pls

[dusk reef]

and remember yall, the world record for most kids birthed at once is 9

[blazing granite]

fetus deletus?

[jade kayak]

a quantem computer right

[fossil merlin]

Did she die?

[jade kayak]

well if i had to say it

quantem computers work by moving transistors down to the atomic level

[loud marlin]

safe against quantum. not ijteresested in quantum in general

[fringe nacelle]

[pallid lotus]

I wouldn't say so. There are always new tricks coming out. Elliptical Curve, for example. It's not quantum safe, iirc, but it's still replacing the older asymmetric algorithms like RSA

[dusk reef]

can we start convincing old ladies that quantum computers are even worse than 5G and they will get triple cancer from the quantum computer

[upper minnow]

theres already some "post quantum" security algorithms for the eventuallity of their coming

[thorn scaffold]

they are too busy with facebook ai slop

[loud marlin]

thanks. that was more/less what i was wish to ask...

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @pallid lotus (current: #10 - 847)

[dusk reef]

"Recently AI has been found to cause brain cancer and dementia through unkown methods" there we go

[jade kayak]

a quantum computer can calculate all instances of an event by all that means even your encryption key which means their is no real way to be safe from a quantum computer as it can calculate the encryption key with enough of the transmitters. So no your not safe

[dusk reef]

put it on the most obscure news platform that no one has heard of so they can easily find it

[chilly veldt]

ed25519 > RSA

[upper minnow]

depending on the curve it is quantum safe

some curves are harder than others

[fossil merlin]

Real

[jade kayak]

o i think i misunderstood the question mb

[upper minnow]

its more compliucated than that

[jade kayak]

i simplified it down to a major level

[loud marlin]

ik all of that. that is clear all to me. hence i asked for encryption that quantum "can't" handle. as muiri say superposition thingy

[fossil merlin]

😭😭😭😭

Cable news would publish it faster than any actually sourced medical stuff.

[dusk reef]

the AI slop is actually a problem, I went to my grandmas house one day and she ended up on the AI side of youtube with like AI documentary videos "top 10 facts about...." and she's just been watching that

[fossil merlin]

Yeah, I hate it.

[dusk reef]

for some reason her yt recommended was also filled with that one picture of the "ideal human evolution" to survive a car crash

[jade kayak]

technically their is not any encrytion key that a quantem computer could not go through although you could make it so that the encryption is large enough so that the quantum computer cannot store it other than that i cant think of anything

[upper minnow]

THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION

[fossil merlin]

My uh, not very cool mom sent me a bunch of AI generated fake infographs/pictures/memes and studies about "my lifestyle".

It's a problem

[thorn scaffold]

how do you balance staying up to date with world news and not getting brainrotted in the meantime?

[jade kayak]

you cant.

[chilly veldt]

by not reading news

[dusk reef]

no more news, only cyber

[jade kayak]

brainrot is everywhere

[carmine tinsel]

Limit your news intake

[fossil merlin]

Really, really, being careful with sources.

Although the news is making me depressed again

[carmine tinsel]

I usually spread out my news intake every 1-2 weeks

[fossil merlin]

May have something to do with my weight loss tbh

[carmine tinsel]

Just so I don’t get depressed

[fossil merlin]

I used to do a lot of journo

But that made me want to not live.

[thorn scaffold]

i legitimately think thats the point of news, to keep people in a semi depressed state all the time

[fossil merlin]

Mass media yeah

[upper minnow]

yea my brain cant take watching news nowadays

[fossil merlin]

I just wanna travel to space before I die

[jade kayak]

the worst part is that the news arent good news anymore

[dusk reef]

my go to strat is 30% news, 70% animal documentaries

gotta get the animal news in too

[jade kayak]

w

[thorn scaffold]

fr what are the chimpanzees up to nowadays

[carmine tinsel]

Some news is just straight up tabloid stuff

[fossil merlin]

You gotta find an ethical source.

A few of them too.

None are involved with mass media these days

[jade kayak]

yea

[fossil merlin]

I can give you my go too ppl, no rageslop or panic bait

[split compass]

When I need additional conext on something Ground is a decent option.

[fossil merlin]

I've listened to them and fact checked them for years

[dusk reef]

exactly, like animal congo news > news about a plane crash

[fossil merlin]

And any time they got something wrong (only twice) they published a correction

They are slower to release content because of this tho

[fossil merlin]

I like ground

[upper minnow]

i dislike ground but the reason is too political to explain

[thorn scaffold]

also, if we/I delete all the social media apps which are the primary source of brainrot, keeping in touch with other people might be a bit difficult

[fossil merlin]

But as a former independent journo type person I try to be as in depth as possible

[opaque flax]

I don’t talk to my friends via social media

[fossil merlin]

Care to dm me why?

If they are shitty I wanna know

[opaque flax]

I do consume a ton of Reddit tho

[dusk reef]

I only use discord

[fossil merlin]

You are RN tho buddy 😔👉👈

[carmine tinsel]

Oh god I’m a Redditor too 💀

[fossil merlin]

Me 3

[thorn scaffold]

imo, one of the worst social media apps out there

[dusk reef]

personally I like to use 4chan > reddit

[carmine tinsel]

Joining Reddit was definitely my low point in life

[upper minnow]

ok

[rugged kayak]

twitter exists

[thorn scaffold]

its riddled with depressed and narcissistic people

[opaque flax]

If you consider discord social media I guess

[carmine tinsel]

I personally think Instagram is the worst just because people are so vile there

[fossil merlin]

But I only like looking at hot people and cybersec stuff on reddit

[thorn scaffold]

nah i prefer twitter over reddit any day

[carmine tinsel]

cybersexurity

[opaque flax]

R/sysadmin and r/cybersecurity help me keep up with that news that I want

[fossil merlin]

Bro the way I gasped when I saw the typo 🕵️‍♂️😭😭

[rugged kayak]

too much "free thinkers" on both of them

[thorn scaffold]

specific subs like those are fine, but the more general/default ones are crazy bad

[fossil merlin]

It by definition is.

[upper minnow]

cybersexuality

[opaque flax]

r/shittysysadmin

[rugged kayak]

horny jail

[opaque flax]

I’m not sure why you’d stay subbed to content you hate

[eternal timber]

What does that entail

[fossil merlin]

Twitter is kinda terrible rn

[blazing granite]

is that a reddit sub 😂 😛

[thorn scaffold]

dunno, i kinda enjoyed kanye's rants the other day

[rapid merlin]

anyone want to collab on AoC'23?

[thorn scaffold]

in a sense that its wild af

[fossil merlin]

Like, uh, unironically?

[opaque flax]

Kanye’s rants are brainrot

[upper minnow]

wdym kayne died 2 years ago

[rapid merlin]

only to those with brainrot

[dusk reef]

kanye should take all his rants and turn them into a song

[opaque flax]

And the enlightened?

[rapid merlin]

"enlightened"

[upper minnow]

that thing that took its place is not kayne

[opaque flax]

Yeezy got taken down lmao

Good

[rapid merlin]

remember, its all entirely subjective

your opinion is simply an opinion

[fossil merlin]

Mfw enlightenment is just being a horrible person. 🤬

[thorn scaffold]

sup luigi, why'd you kill the medicine ceo guy

[dusk reef]

I'm immune to brain rot

[opaque flax]

Kanye is legit not a good person

Those tweets were brainrot

[dusk reef]

turns out there's a limit where it overflows back to 0

[rapid merlin]

imagine judging someone from their tweets lolo

[thorn scaffold]

i judge people by the vibe they give off

[rugged kayak]

imagine judging someone from shit they post for whole world to see

[fossil merlin]

Sure in a vacuum but when opinions are platformed globally and spur real life harm they cease to be just subjective

[rapid merlin]

kanye is a high-level troll, for all we know, he's just baiting all of you and remaining relevant that way.

[thorn scaffold]

and i stick to that judgement untill i actually meet them lmao

[dusk reef]

judge me

i want to be juged

judged

[rapid merlin]

The more you guys yap about him, the more money and fame he makes.

[thorn scaffold]

ur vibe is cool

[dusk reef]

yay

[rapid merlin]

The machine is working perfectly.

[upper minnow]

such a troll his family left him

[opaque flax]

He’s not making money when I say his name I don’t think

[rapid merlin]

Wow losing a kardashian

[opaque flax]

And I. Don’t listen to his music

[dusk reef]

turns out kanye isn't real, he's a paid actor

[upper minnow]

and his children

[rapid merlin]

Mommy groomed those children

[fossil merlin]

Also, this is taking place during a pretty big zeitgeist shift.

So it's not just Kanye in a vacuum.

but i gotta feeling its about to happen

[rugged kayak]

all i have to say about kanye being unhinged is, at least he made graduation

[rapid merlin]

This guy gets it

[carmine tinsel]

I’m not really familiar with Kanye, carnival was absolutely doodoo though 😭

[fossil merlin]

As it turns out, people don't like Nazi shit, you are a comedic genius.

[rapid merlin]

Its selling out like hot cakes and probably sold out already

[opaque flax]

The yeezy site isn’t up lol

[dusk reef]

i wonder if people bought it for shits and giggles

[rapid merlin]

sold so fast it crashed

[dusk reef]

but yk what they say, "its all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits"

[wooden totem]

I mean of course he's trolling, but wanting that much negative attention is still not "just a troll"

[rapid merlin]

thats what this is all is...

[thorn scaffold]

ofc they did it for shits and giggles, real nazis are already stocked up on nazi merch

[rapid merlin]

you only focus on the negative

[opaque flax]

Even if you’re a troll I can’t believe you’d openly defend this

[rapid merlin]

negative*

[wooden totem]

Bro is not about to start listing all the positives

[rapid merlin]

if you guys actually listened

instead of following the trend topic

probably the biggest r/whooshed ever

[thorn scaffold]

its kinda crazy how in every hot internet topic there are exactly 2 sides

almost like we are programmed

[dusk reef]

robots

[rapid merlin]

^^^

[fossil merlin]

Imma be real with you, I wish that this whole push was a big fucking troll, but it is indeed affecting people irl, so no I don't really find it funny my guy.

[rugged kayak]

isnt that like every debate ever

[rapid merlin]

a tshirt is affecting you?

[chilly veldt]

what kind of help

[dusk reef]

can i have the 3rd person view because im just a chill guy and all

[sick lance]

What do you need?

[carmine tinsel]

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy that people usually disagree over hot button topics

[mossy river]

Can we make sure the channel discussion is appropriate for the Discord server, please?
Politics is not allowed here as per the community rules

[carmine tinsel]

I think it’s just a natural result of people thinking differently

[fossil merlin]

You know what I mean dude, it's not just a T-shirt, jfc

[eternal timber]

What the t shirt represents

It’s giving them an entry point to normalize it

[mossy river]

I would appreciate if everyone could acknowledge my message^^

[thorn scaffold]

well i for example think that the tweets were funny af all the while i think that kanye is mentally not best

and i also think that whoever got insulted by those obiously retarded tweets is kinda a snowflake

[dusk reef]

🐎

[wooden totem]

I wonder what a word for conversations with no sides is

[rapid merlin]

i remember when hacking and politics went hand to hand and was inseperable

[upper minnow]

btw sent u a friend request @fossil merlin

[fossil merlin]

Yeeyee

[rugged kayak]

monologue

[fringe nacelle]

They're called "Hacktivists"

[rapid merlin]

im aware

[fringe nacelle]

[eternal timber]

That still has one side

Or maybe multiple if someone is unstable

[upper minnow]

its not a conversation if it has no sides

[dusk reef]

that doesnt make sense

[rugged kayak]

i saw i am dumb i read one side

[eternal timber]

Could be if the people involved are open minded

[rugged kayak]

mistake is noted

[rapid merlin]

anyone want to collab on AoC'24?

[dusk reef]

it works for debate but you can have a conversation with yourself, i've seen terry davis do it before

[rapid merlin]

Or do we not actually hack here?

[upper minnow]

everyone has an implicit bias, no matter how enlightened you are

[eternal timber]

[dusk reef]

is that steve harvey?

[eternal timber]

I wouldn’t say that. The average person does have biases tho

[wooden totem]

Exchange of technical information would kinda fit for no sides

[rapid merlin]

no its me @dusk reef

[fringe nacelle]

Have fun with it, learned alot from it when it was active at the time

[thorn scaffold]

word "enlightened" was ruined for me by reddit

[eternal timber]

Yes

[eternal timber]

They ruined the word fr

[rapid merlin]

reddit ruined everything

[fringe nacelle]

what was worse though. 4chan or reddit

[half girder]

reddit is just the "sophisticated" version of 4chan

[blazing granite]

not be the first or the last time 😂

[blissful snow]

when i rest a room does it take the rank back

[dusk reef]

4chan is where bad things get created

[timber iris]

I changed my old email, but after updating to my new email, I tried to reconnect to my account. It asked for my password, and after entering it, I still couldn’t access my account. This is the issue I’m facing. I contacted the support team, but I haven’t received a response for the past 24 hours

[rapid merlin]

theres nothing sophisticated about reddit...

[thorn scaffold]

4chan are flat out retards and they know it, redditors on the other hand are the same retards but they pretend they are smart, so id say reddit is worse

[dusk reef]

reddit is where bad actions get hapen

[eternal timber]

Definitely 4chan

[rapid merlin]

^

[sick lance]

You'll need to wait until they reply.

[rapid merlin]

I can name worst than 4chan...

[dusk reef]

4chan is just anonymous reddit

[fossil merlin]

Deffi

[blazing granite]

4 chan, I remember that wave of chaos 😂

[dusk reef]

so just strip away accountability from reddit (which there is already not much)

[fossil merlin]

I stopped visiting in highschool

Less cool stuff nowadays

[sick lance]

That was not at all appropriate.

[half girder]

thats why there were " " 😉 4chan is just plain stupid, and they know it and dont want to be different than that.. reddit is pretty much the same, despite the fact they are thinking they are smart .. hope it makes more sense now ^^

[fossil merlin]

My apologies it won't happen again

[blazing granite]

4chan was so much worse then reddit could ever be 😂

[dusk reef]

thats what anonymous does

[fossil merlin]

4chan is just kinda gross nowadays. From what I understand

[half girder]

yea, i checked it when it was cool, because b0g didnt exist anymore at that time .. but it didnt attract me

[upper minnow]

i used 4chan when i was younger, it was bad

[rapid merlin]

if reddit was anon also, it would be just as bad

[worn turret]

How do I do the open vpn connection thingy for tryhack rooms. Do I need a linux distro for it?

[thorn scaffold]

i mean it is anon

[rapid merlin]

dont let it fool you, im willing to bet half the people on reddit are also on 4chan

[blazing granite]

I'm talking about the original old 4chan

[fossil merlin]

Probably

[thorn scaffold]

if you dont feel like dual booting, try virtual machines, easy to set up, easy to get in

[upper minnow]

i used to like going to /x/ to see the crazy people roleplaying as psychic vampires

[grizzled wing]

had this idea so i made it happen, it's not the best implementation but it works

[fossil merlin]

Sure, they did a lot of funny stuff that was semi edgy and taught a lot of people babies first ddos

[rapid merlin]

Dont ever dual boot kali/parrot for thm/htb

wish they explain this more clearly for new people

[fossil merlin]

/x/ was where I stayed lol

[thorn scaffold]

why?

genuinely curious

[rapid merlin]

for one, your installing on your main harddrive, if something happens then you can lose your entire drive

[fossil merlin]

Kali is really for VM

[eternal timber]

I see Mr Robot

[fossil merlin]

I wouldn't put it on metal

[grizzled wing]

yea, i have it , had to include it

[fossil merlin]

Off work :3

[dusk reef]

I dont like kali, it has the tools I dont want, and not the tools I want

[upper minnow]

Tbh im thinking of just installing the stuff i need for cyber in my arch

Mostly for practice

[blazing granite]

back in 2003 /b/ was the chaos represented in a website 😂

[fringe nacelle]

Majority of my team does that

[fossil merlin]

That's well before my time oldhead >.<

[grizzled wing]

thats what Black Arch distro is basically

[eternal timber]

Add machine learning

[eternal timber]

Yo that’s me

[fossil merlin]

Damn ..... 😳

[rapid merlin]

someone who cant wipe his own ass

[blazing granite]

that was the beginning of the mighty and yet infamous 4chan 😂

[fossil merlin]

He has the betas for that 🥴

[dusk reef]

one day I want to ditch kali and go for arch but I gotta get better

[grizzled wing]

Arch is minimal, a bodybuilder is not minimal

[rapid merlin]

arch aint worth it

[dusk reef]

closest thing to arch i have rn is manjaro

[lament tendon]

You can switch now. Been running that for a long while, and it works pretty dang well.

[loud marlin]

the thing is with arch I need to be decent at linux to set it up

[upper minnow]

Nah arch is the transfem distro

[fossil merlin]

Dope, I love a video essay

[fossil merlin]

My friend group can confirm this

[lament tendon]

You don't need that either, you can just run archinstall during the setup and it'll give you an interactive installer.

[thorn scaffold]

what is transfem

[polar spoke]

why pick a distro that lacks official support from hardware vendors?

[dusk reef]

o

[thorn scaffold]

prob because it sounds cool

[rapid merlin]

||arch actually sucks and most overrated distro right now, its just ricing that appeals so much||

[rugged kayak]

arch is so easy, if you ever need any help just lmk i am more than glad to help

[dusk reef]

I wish I knew that before I got manjaro then

[fossil merlin]

I, a lowly simple homo, prefer Debian 😔🥺

[polar spoke]

sounds about right tbh

[rugged kayak]

arguments please

[dusk reef]

tbh i installed it and never used it

[rugged kayak]

sucks why

[dusk reef]

but I dont want to mess with all that now

[wooden totem]

Never heard someone using redhat and admitting it

[lament tendon]

I love getting everyone to fight over topics that don't matter. >:D

[rapid merlin]

because its not viable for a good workflow in this industry

[rugged kayak]

how so

[fossil merlin]

Short for "trans feminine"

[wooden totem]

*Twitter*

[lament tendon]

Factually, this is wrong, most of the dudes at my office use Arch.

[blazing granite]

used it before went all corporate, then fedora

[lament tendon]

LMAO

[eternal timber]

X

[fossil merlin]

Chat is this true? 🧐

[rugged kayak]

use arguments that make sense, not its bad cuz i said so

[rapid merlin]

arguments are subective, i dont care if you agree or not

[rugged kayak]

argument is something objective

like 2+2=4

[dusk reef]

people in my cyber class been doing kali thinkpads, one of them has mint and kali dual boot

[rugged kayak]

feelings are subjective

[wooden totem]

(Thats a fact)

[rugged kayak]

arguments are something that is true

[thorn scaffold]

spot on, for example soulja won this argument
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icj6SaWsXaY

[blazing granite]

arch is great for your home computer 🙂

[dusk reef]

I've been using an external HDD for Kali, Manjaro and Windows

[rapid merlin]

you are wrong

[inner goblet]

I went to try hack me to learn Kali Linux

[rugged kayak]

troll, nothing else, but i got some free time and i am bored as shit

[lament tendon]

Unfortunately, facts (which you should use during an argument) are not subjective.

[rugged kayak]

prove me that i am wrong about that statement

[eternal timber]

Good argument but unfortunately my arms are bigger

[inner goblet]

Does any recommend it?

[half girder]

welcome 👋

[thorn scaffold]

this sounds awfully lot like a reddit argument

[wooden totem]

Why would you pick doing this over watching

Kali is pretty neat, yea.

[fossil merlin]

arguing about arguments

[rugged kayak]

arms are good arguments

[dusk reef]

I'd say it is good for people learning

[rugged kayak]

bored

[polar spoke]

boy do i not want to get into it about which distro is or is not good/bad, but like, official hardware drivers/runtimes not being built for arch is a pretty real downside and I don't know why it's so overlooked

[inner goblet]

I jumped into John the ripper. They said I should learn coding first.

[rugged kayak]

its not about which distro is bad or not

[fossil merlin]

Preem af

[rugged kayak]

bro is yapping without any argument whatsoever

[half girder]

you dont need coding first. just start with the pre security path and work your way up ^^

[dusk reef]

Personally I think most distros are great, it is down to mostly preference

[rugged kayak]

use what you like but if you shit on something at least have a good argument

[inner goblet]

I can do that on tryhackme? Is it one you recommend?

[carmine tinsel]

Well programming knowledge can be extremely useful alongside the presec rooms

[fossil merlin]

Sure but that ignores the real world effects that arguments can bring about.

Just saying "arguments are subjective" is a way to feel smart without actually confronting anything of substance

[dusk reef]

if you do coding, bash + python is great

[half girder]

yes, tryhackme has learning paths, so you can learn everything from the very beginning

[thorn scaffold]

look up learning paths on tryhackme, there you will see the recommended path you should take if you are a beginner

[fossil merlin]

I tend to distro hop

[blazing granite]

different flavours for different peoples, and purposes. It's nice to have options 🙂

[inner goblet]

Thank you guys. I read both messages.

they were here earlier for one of the conversations

[rapid merlin]

yeah

He's nice only to kids... well he is sarcastic but not as brutal as he is with adults

[rapid merlin]

bruh they banned brick

[wheat flare]

Oh

[blazing granite]

also if you have one never meet him, probably won't live up to your expectations 😂

[rugged kayak]

i dont want to offend mods but seems like best they can do is slap on the wrist

[rapid merlin]

nevermind hes still around

[dusk reef]

"guys stop ittttttt, that's not niceeee"

[thorn scaffold]

isnt this the general chat, you can talk anything in here as long as its not offensive

[dusk reef]

"GET IN THE CORNER"

was there anything in the above that needed to be moderated?

[rugged kayak]

if you ask me this whole discussions and rage bating

[polar spoke]

honestly didnt even see that

[thorn scaffold]

rage baiting is subjective usisivacu

[polar spoke]

just people disagreeing about arch, which is typical

[dusk reef]

no above that

[wheat flare]

Again...

[blazing granite]

I've tried a lot of distros so far but never that one so I can't comment 🙂

[polar spoke]

it can work

or the adrenaline drivers

both of which are.... finnicky as hell

[dusk reef]

i just realized i've been procrastinating for a very long time because for some reason i dont feel like reading about threads

[eternal timber]

I need adderall

[split compass]

Yeah, I thought it might come down to reaching out to the ROCm driver team. -_-;

What do you need to be working on

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/cozy-peepo-pepe-peepocozy-christmas-gif-24023628

[eternal timber]

No, I have adhd

[polar spoke]

check the hardware support matrix in the docs

[wheat flare]

Nwiceee

[polar spoke]

your card may just literally not be supported

which is common to a lot of the AMD cards

[dusk reef]

been working through malware analysis on thm, trying to get through the windows internals thing

[polar spoke]

ROCm support is..... present at best

[split compass]

yeah, I'm assuming it's just not supported.

[dusk reef]

it's not hard, i'm just being lazy rn

[polar spoke]

but most cards aren't on the list

[split compass]

Being the weird discrete GPU built into the Framework 16, seems like a low volume target.

technically not enough good sleep worsens it

Lovin TryHackMe

[dusk reef]

i probs need to close out discord, i joined this server last night and ended up being counterproductive

[wheat flare]

Yeah... that's a sound idea

[rugged kayak]

my honest recommendation is find here people you like and make your server

smaller group is much more productive

[thorn scaffold]

thats even worse, smaller servers are even more addictive

if active

[dusk reef]

I have a small group of people I hang out with and we are going to do a CTF competition thing, but they are incredibly lazy so I gotta become a genius to make up for their laziness

[rugged kayak]

you are partially right, but if you get a lot of people with same goal together they will have more fun and easier time

[rugged kayak]

leave that shit, find someone better or your level

to pull you forward

[fringe nacelle]

You gonna compete in the CA2025?

[dusk reef]

it's too late, can't change team members now

[dusk reef]

idk what that is

[rugged kayak]

for all you beginners, find some cool people, make servers and grind together, its easier that way

[fringe nacelle]

Cyber Apocalypse 2025 host by HTB

[rugged kayak]

make a new one

[dusk reef]

i cant, this is with the school I go to

[rugged kayak]

in whatever case just surround yourself with group of productive people

[fringe nacelle]

Yee I found an amazing group on HTB and have learned a ton from them. They all have more experience then me, but are willing to help me even with the most mundane issues

[dusk reef]

their issue is they want to do this stuff, but they aren't motivated to put in the effort to learn what they need

[rugged kayak]

people like those are worth more than anything else

[rugged kayak]

tell me this what is preventing you to add me and idk d.anisley to some group and we study together

nothing

[drowsy dust]

Tell your instructor that and see if you can work by yourself or with another group. Don’t let people leach off of you

[rugged kayak]

not us specifically but you get the point

[low stratus]

yooo wsg

[rugged kayak]

having leeches is one way to burnout

[drowsy dust]

Fr fr

[low stratus]

You should let people leach off you it makes you the center of attention you also develop leadership skills

[dusk reef]

one person is actually good at forensics, another person only started pulling their weight 2 days ago when we had 2 days left for the practice round and then the other person who is supposed to be doing web stuff, wont stop watching anime

[thorn scaffold]

bro wants to be napoleon

[rugged kayak]

you should never do this you are not here for attention and not everyone can be leader

[carmine tinsel]

Won’t stop watching anime is crazy

[low stratus]

I did not mean for it to be like the center of attention what i was saying is they lookup to you and learn from you

[drowsy dust]

Tell them his favorite character is a trap

[dusk reef]

idk anything about anime

[rugged kayak]

again not everyone can be teacher

i can be god of binary exploitation for example

[dusk reef]

i tried teaching them nmap but they forgot it

[rugged kayak]

but i maybe not be able to transfer my knowledge at all

[dusk reef]

but im not good at explaining

[low stratus]

😭

[fringe nacelle]

now hold on, that's a hard phase to get out of when in school

[dusk reef]

i dont even think nmap is that hard though, I figured it out the night before i taught them

[fringe nacelle]

rip that forensics guy

[thorn scaffold]

a random question but is anyone here 25+?

[low stratus]

Yeah their just lazy or dont understand what nmap --help does

[fringe nacelle]

in july I will be

did you see darkcorp btw 😂

[drowsy dust]

If they can’t put the help command in then they are a lost cause lol

that was not a box that was mini prolab

this maybe be rude but i tend to treat everyone like idiot until they prove me wrong

you have a very long and very hard journey ahead of you to get to top 20 overall on the leaderboard

[fossil merlin]

That's fine.

If you can talk like an adult it's chill.

[wheat flare]

Effective yet dangerous strategy

[dusk reef]

I've only completed 22 rooms

[neon prism]

Oh I know its gonna be alot but I like to set goals to motivate myself to keep goin

[sand trench]

mostly because to reach into the top 50 or so you probably need some blood points

[rugged kayak]

extremely effective

[carmine tinsel]

hehe, 22 is better than nothing

[sand trench]

shadow sets smaller goals and then set new goals once reaching the small ones... it helps shadow be motivated

[rugged kayak]

gotta check if common sense update is installed

[wheat flare]

Thats Network Chuck hes always talkin about coffee lol

chuck the last person to be called a hacker lol

[wheat flare]

God forbid, that will unleash toxicity within the server

[drowsy dust]

Focus on the premium rooms instead so you can get the most out of your subscription. Finish up the free rooms after. That’s what I would do

[rapid merlin]

hes just a sysadmin

[rugged kayak]

just

are you a sysadmin

[thorn scaffold]

but increase competition

[carmine tinsel]

The good thing is that there are plenty of good free thm rooms, in fact a lot of them are quite similar to the premium rooms

[rapid merlin]

when I was like 15-16

lolo

[dusk reef]

well the thing is, it is linked to my school account and i graduate in may so like i gotta do all of them probs

[wheat flare]

people get competitively toxic

[rugged kayak]

you sayin this aint toxic enough 🤣

[rapid merlin]

was sysadmin for a chicago hospital at 15 year old

[drowsy dust]

Ooof

[eternal timber]

At this pace it is going to take me about 2 months to finish this book

[wheat flare]

Compared to what I've seen, this ain't that toxic 😭

[dusk reef]

then I can be considered a newbie while also having completed all the courses

[rugged kayak]

wait a minute, you are same dude that got pissed off over script kiddie and left this server once

[thorn scaffold]

that pfp is oddly captivating

[drowsy dust]

Thanks

[dusk reef]

I also need to figure out what courses I should do to be smart in Reconnaissance, Web, Reverse Engineering, Cryptography, Forensics and Networking by March 1st

[eternal timber]

oh nice. Whats your major?

[dusk reef]

nah, I'm still in highschool + vocational school

[sand trench]

...

[eternal timber]

oh I see

[rapid merlin]

The idea of people picking up dogpoop with PLASTIC BAGS and throwing it in the trash is just BIZARRE as fook to me

why create unnecassary waste

[thorn scaffold]

kanye rant vibes right here

[rapid merlin]

poop is like the best thing ever for our planet

[dusk reef]

idk if I'm going to college

I might just get a bunch of certifications

[rapid merlin]

Not at all..

[dusk reef]

reason for not wanting college: I hate english classes

[carmine tinsel]

I’ve seen people on this sub heavily advise to go to college

[dusk reef]

i dont want to do english

[rapid merlin]

poop = compost.
plastic = not degradable.

why turn something degrable into non-degradable?

[drowsy dust]

Biodegradable poop bags

[thorn scaffold]

because you dont want public parks to be full of poop

[eternal timber]

Well technically you’re not turning the poop into plastic

[upper minnow]

i have too much of a headache to explain in detail but if you have the monetary conditions you should go to college

[carmine tinsel]

I get it, I hate English too, but a degree will help you get a foothold in the industry

[rapid merlin]

ahh your poor nikes

English is a MUST in tech industry, period

[thorn scaffold]

more of a rebook type of guy

[carmine tinsel]

Besides, even if you dislike it, it’s still good to take it just to be a well rounded person

[rapid merlin]

Ill respect that

[dusk reef]

everyone be trying to talk me into college

[drowsy dust]

Certificates might cost as much as your college depending what you get

[dusk reef]

one of my friends who wants to do game dev is trying to convince me because he doesnt want to be in a dorm with strangers

[rugged kayak]

or if you are insane you can grind oscp

[rapid merlin]

a degree will do you more good than a cert.

[carmine tinsel]

Well if you aren’t open to alternative suggestions why ask at all

[eternal timber]

Getting the AWS machine learning engineer certification

[rapid merlin]

the right degree that is.

[rugged kayak]

or similar certs if you are into blue team

[thorn scaffold]

id not wanna miss out on college life

[drowsy dust]

Agree

[dusk reef]

because every person is able to be convinced

and technically i didnt ask a question, i made a statement

[drowsy dust]

Good luck on your journey bro

[dusk reef]

"I dont want to do college because i hate english" or something like that

[thorn scaffold]

as if ur gonna listen to random ppl from discord

[eternal timber]

I’m speed running it

[carmine tinsel]

Ah it’s ok I’m sure you’ll figure out the best choice for yourself

[eternal timber]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @drowsy dust (current: #182 - 43)

[drowsy dust]

Wild man

[dusk reef]

i do have one concern of like, it might be hard to find a good job with where i live

[eternal timber]

I’m an academic weapon what can I say

[carmine tinsel]

Another important thing to consider is motivation, if college sounds like such a slog, at least a ton of certificates will be something you’ll be able to make yourself complete

[dusk reef]

and im trying hard not to move

[rugged kayak]

bro you are weapon

[carmine tinsel]

Dox yourself, where do u live

😗

[rugged kayak]

you dont need academics

[dusk reef]

it's not a dox if i dont pin point the exact location

[eternal timber]

Academics needs me fr

[drowsy dust]

If you live in the United States you could get an internship while you are in highschool with the NSA, FBI or similar to get your feet wet and to boost your resume

[carmine tinsel]

As a current student I have noticed that internships are quite choosy

[thorn scaffold]

the most unethical path

[rapid merlin]

meh not many people apply for them much anymore so they cant be too choosy these days

[dusk reef]

my school has internship stuff, but like I'm so close to graduating i dont think i can do much there

[eternal timber]

Do you not want to go to college or is it more of a situational thing?

[rugged kayak]

covid is over, they dont hire literally everyone and market is over saturated

[dusk reef]

and idk how much they'd have because my school has 0 computer classes, if you want to do a class with computers you have to go to the vocational school and take either computer networking and/or cybersecurity, and I did networking and am currently doing cybersecurity

[rugged kayak]

they want best of the best so they can lay them off later

[dusk reef]

still deciding which i like more, cybersecurity or networking

because I do like setting up cisco routers and switches

[drowsy dust]

Network security ?

Might be of interest

[dusk reef]

idk, im just going to get whatever I can and see what I like

[drowsy dust]

Well good luck

[carmine tinsel]

Hope u figure it out 😊

[fringe nacelle]

yee I just got refused an internship because I was "Too technical" for the role

but he is gonna forward me to a business partner of his

[eternal timber]

The IT job market is so dry rn

[thorn scaffold]

bro is suffering from success

[rugged kayak]

idk kms honestly, like bro just give me the damn job pay me less but pay me something

[rapid merlin]

lolwot

[rugged kayak]

i cant afford being jobless in this economy 🤣

[rugged kayak]

god i hope you are trolling

[rapid merlin]

Its really not dry.

[fringe nacelle]

I feel yah. Thankfully I am full time in another job field. But I never knew that you could be Too Technical for a tech role lol

[thorn scaffold]

luigi is slowly becoming my favorite person here

[eternal timber]

I think what I said was pretty clear

[dusk reef]

That's why you listen to john lennon:
"There's room at the top they are telling you still"
"But first you must learn how to smile as you kill"
"If you want to be like the folks on the hill"

[rugged kayak]

they: a) dont want to pay you b) found someone better c) figured out that you are too smart for them to exploit you

[thorn scaffold]

they are probably afraid that if they hired you you would find out that you are underpaid for your knowledge

[fringe nacelle]

[rapid merlin]

c would never happen

[fringe nacelle]

good to know

[rapid merlin]

if someone was "too smart" they would use him

[eternal timber]

Good luck getting an entry level job without 2 years of experience

[rapid merlin]

hands up... who all here actually has/had an IT job..

[rugged kayak]

someone smart will not get into situation to get exploited

[rugged kayak]

THIS BRO, THIS TREND

[rapid merlin]

not true considering anything can happen to anyone @rugged kayak even the smartest people mess up

[rugged kayak]

ITS NOT ENTRY IF I NEED 2+ YEARS

[rapid merlin]

yes it is

[split compass]

I lucked out, my first job out of college was IT Director 😄
Yay start ups 😛

[rapid merlin]

only 2 years is just getting started

[rugged kayak]

do you fucking know what entry means

[dusk reef]

my cybersecurity teacher said that the way bonuses work is they pay the higher up and like best employee(s) then they tell the other employees who arent as good that they were tight on money or something like that and couldnt get them a bonus

[eternal timber]

Sick

[dusk reef]

something like that

[rapid merlin]

I know people with 10+ years getting turned down from mid-high end tech jobs

[dusk reef]

he also said if a finance person becomes the CEO expect portions of the company to get sold

he also said one time his bonus was a big container of peanuts

[drowsy dust]

Time to start pan handling

[split compass]

Feast and famine sadly

[drowsy dust]

Spare change

[dusk reef]

he also said it's better to have a great boss but less pay than a shitty boss with good pay

[upper minnow]

we usually start working during college here in brazil

[split compass]

Honestly, I can do more for people who are still in school right now than established industry folk.

[thorn scaffold]

whats the hottest industry rn? it used to be that but it obiously isnt

[rugged kayak]

working under good management can make all the difference

[rugged kayak]

cyber imo

everyone wants to get into cyber

[rapid merlin]

but if you arent getting paid well then its pointless

[upper minnow]

im gonna finish college this year but i already have 2 years of experience so im thinkingf of quitting my job and focusing on finisihng it

[dusk reef]

its the only job they advertise on tv from colleges

[rugged kayak]

point is that you dont fucking hate yourself and your job

[split compass]

Gotta bolt, BBL.

[dusk reef]

does this mean I'm a basic bitch?

[rugged kayak]

and stop trolling me

[rapid merlin]
