Good I’ll buy some discord stock

[rapid merlin]

Yikes

[crystal mauve]

You have no idea what your talking about

[rapid merlin]

I'll look into swapping to Revolt or some shit if Discord assassinates themselves

[mossy river]

Yes there were discussions about Discord becoming public

Although I don't think anything has been confirmed

I don't think they can make any worse decisions than some of the recent ones they've made 🤣

Hi, can someone help? The machines are not pinging and there is no access to them, although everything seems to be working.

[rapid merlin]

Edgerunners ruined me

Pinged

[carmine stream]

The show hole is real

[rapid merlin]

What

[upper knoll]

so are u on the thm network (ie using the attack box) or have u connected to open vpn?

[carmine stream]

the depression of your favorite show ending

[twilit egret]

openvpn

[sick lance]

#site-support

[carmine stream]

puts you in a show hole

[crystal moss]

@blissful snow i was reading about Fluff cult before, but do not get what you do, or you just honor "Fuff"?

[upper knoll]

as scrubz said thats your best bet just wanted to ask in case it was simple

[blissful snow]

both

[rapid merlin]

Yeah. I'm ngl the hardest I ever cried was to that show

[twilit egret]

[loud marlin]

just stop... you are wrong

[whole yew]

It's honestly at this point memeing about a former community member and mod who has left and server (and is a pretty cool dude all around)

[boreal scarab]

I'm right, I'm always right.

[sick lance]

Fluff is.

[whole yew]

[loud marlin]

at last you are not left

you sure about that?

[boreal scarab]

[crystal moss]

Ah.. Yes, I understood that it was something along those lines!

Well, maybe i should fire up a box...

[sick lance]

@rapid merlin Please don't advertise, without interact alot with the community.

[rapid merlin]

I apologize for that!

[sick lance]

No worries. 🙂

We like community members to interact with the community, so they don't just dump their materials and leave.

[blissful snow]

Wait how does that work?

I got an answer.

[mossy river]

But still please ask before promoting things like that here 🙂

[blissful snow]

Just wondering can you mute other mods

[mossy river]

Nope

[rapid merlin]

That makes sense, there’s a CTF event for the Department of Defense and I wanna compete against as many people as possible🤣

[blissful snow]

Oh, I was thinking it was gonna be a yes.

[cosmic pendant]

Do you qualify to participate?

[silver sky]

Typical American

[rapid merlin]

I’ve already been accepted and competed last year

[cosmic pendant]

@boreal scarab how is your lunch?

[safe oxide]

Can't do a kudeta

[safe oxide]

Wouldn't there be less ppl then?

[mossy river]

In order to do that you'd need to catch me when I'm offline, which is never 😔

[safe oxide]

I meant you can do that against higher upps

Gotta mute other generals and ministers

[mossy river]

Oh I already can, I wrote the bot

[summer canopy]

Hi

[rapid merlin]

I’m not sure I understand? If more people sign up then there would be more people to compete against

[blissful snow]

hi

[boreal scarab]

[cosmic pendant]

oh nice!

[boreal scarab]

It's as amazing as I remember!

[blissful snow]

😋

What is that called.

[sick lance]

I have so much saved on youtube to watch, but when I do.

I always watch "Everything wrong with x"

[boreal scarab]

I would say but something something opsec

Lets just say, it's spaghetti with fish

[blissful snow]

I take a break from fixing to watch youtube so my mine will clear.

[sick lance]

Looks like Seafood Alfredo Stew.

[blissful snow]

Give away location?

I hate when people over season their alfredo.

[boreal scarab]

Yah, sounds bout right

[sick lance]

Interesting

[blissful snow]

I was gonna ask why more question, but I guess new thing with cloud and ai.

[sick lance]

Was also nice of John Hammond to give away 50 tickets to Hack Space Con 2025.

[blissful snow]

Quick question this code is vulnerable right?

$('.thumb_wrapper').on('click', function(ev) { var hugeid=$(this).data('rowid'); var myid=hugeid; myid=parseInt(myid);
eval ('player_+myid+' .playVideo()') ev.preventDefault();

looking at eval

[shut hawk]

is that some client side JS

[sick lance]

Shouldn't player_ and .playVideo() be inside ' ' ?

[blissful snow]

Yeah I'm not sure what they where doing I'm gonna report it just making sure I'm correct.

[sick lance]

Don't you need to explain why it's vulnerable?

[shut hawk]

need more context

can't say its vulnerable

[blissful snow]

Yep

[shut hawk]

just seeing eval doesn't make it vulnerable

[blissful snow]

I know I saw my_id and it can be changed

actual didn't notice it being inside of a ''

[shut hawk]

again, is this a client side video player?

[blissful snow]

Nope

It just swaps Images and depending on the image it send you to that youtube video.

with a little animation.

it is ''+my_id+''

I have a lot of problem copying and pasting

I have no clue why

[rapid merlin]

have a great day, hello

[rapid merlin]

i feel chill

back from sschool

[blissful snow]

Nice

[blissful snow]

Normally you should get more speed.

[shut hawk]

obviously

[boreal scarab]

Got it. Will do this at next round about.

[sick lance]

No, you're on the wrong side of the road.

[boreal scarab]

No, that's the right side

[sick lance]

Just because it's called "right", doesn't mean it is.

[boreal scarab]

[shadow coyote]

Sorry, did the Brit say something statistically wrong?

[sick lance]

If 165 countries jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?

• Updated dependencies

only rthis

[blissful current]

[tropic saddle]

really?

[rapid merlin]

yes but nothing changed

[tropic saddle]

uh

[sand trench]

yes because if they are doing that the cliff is obviously not safe

https://xkcd.com/1170/

xkcd: Bridge

And it says a lot about you that when your friends jump off a bridge en masse, your first thought is apparently 'my friends are all foolish and I won't be like them' and not 'are my friends ok?'.

[sick lance]

Maybe they're wearing parachutes and the cliff is safe.

[rapid merlin]

Maybe they implemented a feature that logs your searches 🤔

[rapid merlin]

who knows? we must check source code

[sand trench]

this xkcd is so nice for the phrase jump of bridge

[rapid merlin]

[blissful snow]

Cool what did you use.

[sick lance]

ShareX.

[blissful snow]

Welp that won't work for me 😭

Have anyones for linux?

[sick lance]

Try Flameshot.

[blissful snow]

I have it but It's not really eidting I don't think.

[sick lance]

If it helps, I copied the image, then copied the tag and just pasted it.

[blissful snow]

My copy and paste doesn't work on flame shot

No clue why

I have to save every image to send it here 😭

[sick lance]

All hail ShareX

[blissful snow]

Does wine work on it.

[sick lance]

Never tried

[blissful snow]

May seen a little reandom but, how does screenshots work.

For example if I wanted to build my on screenshot and editing app.

[rapid merlin]

I feel like if 165 countries collectively jumped off of a cliff then there's something coming that I don't want to stick around for

[rapid merlin]

Distro?

[fervent ruin]

quick, how can i save a file with vim? idk how to use vim

[blissful snow]

popos

[pallid lotus]

I mean, you're right, but it's still correct to drive on the left

[pallid lotus]

Then why are you using it?

[blissful snow]

:wq

[fervent ruin]

how i specify the name of the file?

[rapid merlin]

How about people just drive on whichever side it's legal to do. They don't make the rules. This is a dumb argument.

[fervent ruin]

when saving

[pallid lotus]

Let 'em Google. It's the only way to learn.

[rapid merlin]

Sooooo, you don't have the Gnome screenshot util?

[pallid lotus]

1. This is a joke argument anyway,
2. Laws stating you should drive on the right are incorrect

[rapid merlin]

I've never use PopOS but I have a large amount of experience with Ubuntu

[rapid merlin]

That's your opinion, please stop talking to me about this.

[pallid lotus]

I mean, suit yourself 🤷‍♂️

[rapid merlin]

back

from sleep

[blissful snow]

someting wrong

I can't copy and paste

[blissful snow]

Or look up a cheatsheet

[rapid merlin]

Ah

[rapid merlin]

use flameshot

[blissful snow]

I do

[rapid merlin]

^^

[blissful snow]

Can't copy the image or paste

[rapid merlin]

uh

tru reinstall

Then use Gnome's built in SS utility

[blissful snow]

I hafe to do it when I get home

[blissful snow]

Doesn't work 😭

[pallid lotus]

A good plan indeed

[rapid merlin]

Idk then

[blissful snow]

I hae one in my notes.

[rapid merlin]

I'm out of ideas. It just seems ur shit is broken

[blissful snow]

I need a nas.

[blissful snow]

I knowwww 😭

[rapid merlin]

My NAS is just an old office computer with 1.5TB of storage lmao

[blissful snow]

lol

Ngl I thought I had to bu one

[shut hawk]

@blissful snow what distro are you using

and is it in a VM

[rapid merlin]

It's not even a NAS tbh, it's just a computer that I connected to my laptop directly via Ethernet

[blissful snow]

popos its my main

[rapid merlin]

You should still be able to copy and paste within a VM, no?

[shut hawk]

and you're trying to directly copy paste from it onto discord?

[shut hawk]

yes. that wasn't why I asked the question though

[rapid merlin]

You just can't copy and paste between the host machine and the vm

[shut hawk]

you can

[rapid merlin]

If you have the option toggled

[shut hawk]

but you need to install some extra utils depending on the hypervisor you have

[blissful snow]

When I use flame shot and i copy to clipboard it doesn't copy to clipboard

[desert kelp]

Hello, how is everyone doing?

[blissful snow]

hi

good wbu

i know my copy and paste work something with screenshooting

[shut hawk]

have you tried turning it on and off again?

[rapid merlin]

I just use Windows 10, less of a hassle. I got tired of no linux support for everything I use

guys how do i connect to THM rooms from my own system and not using AttackBox??

[desert kelp]

a little bit mad but all g

[blissful snow]

Yes lol

[blissful snow]

What happened?

[blissful current]

using OpenVPN

[desert kelp]

you need to use tryhackme's vpn

[shut hawk]

run flameshot from the terminal and see what the log says

[rapid merlin]

ovpn ?

[blissful current]

yes

[desert kelp]

just played val and someone got racist af to me

xd

[rapid merlin]

and tutorial?? using my own system would defn be much faster than AttackBoxes

[blissful current]

the access is there on the THM site with the guidance

Profile pic -> Access

[slow cloud]

Using a your own kali vm is also recommended

[blissful current]

there is a room with tutorial too just search OpenVPN in learn's search section\

[rapid merlin]

i tried it once and failed, i downloaded certifications and used ovpn, no idea what happened i lost connection to internet and had to restart pc XD i am dumb

thanks

😨

[slow cloud]

I mean that works but its not recommend to run on your own machine

[rapid merlin]

noted

[slow cloud]

Vm is recommended it can be whichever distro you prefer

[rapid merlin]

What if I use ParrotOS

will run on neighbours machine its not my own

[slow cloud]

If you like arch idk if you know about blackarch?

[rapid merlin]

I see

[rapid merlin]

nope

i dont wanna change distros atm i am loving my setup

[slow cloud]

It's pretty much kali but arch

[rapid merlin]

i see

[slow cloud]

Vms

[rapid merlin]

well i can just steal pacakges if and compile myself if pacman doesnt have, no big deal ??

or i might be missing something ?

I tried to get Arch on my Aarch64 Chromebook and well, it didn't go the way I expected 😢

[slow cloud]

Im now too familiar with arch yet but im sure u could

[rapid merlin]

nor i am, its just linux, u can compile your own packages and use them if your package manager doesnt have it

[rapid merlin]

its okay Mint didnt work well on my HP

nor did Nix

[slow cloud]

Too much work for me😂

[rapid merlin]

I had to build my own bootloader but I could never get it working. I even tried to use the bootloader from my postmarketOS installation but that didn't work either. So I'm just stuck with Alpine on it

[slow cloud]

Aline is super lightweight tho so thats nice

[rapid merlin]

ok that is bad, i wish one day i can write my own bootloader too

[rapid merlin]

I suppose

Don't wanna interrupt you but anyone here from BD 🇧🇩?

[blissful snow]

Whats that.

[blissful current]

Bangladesh ...a country

[blissful snow]

Oh.

[blissful snow]

Not sure why?

[dreamy marlin]

I just entered into the cybersecurity world. So I thought about doing some chit chats.

[blissful snow]

Ah ok.

[blissful snow]

What made you interested?

[sand trench]

YAY slack wyrm is back online

[bleak quartz]

@desert lantern @dark mason Art.

[dreamy marlin]

I donno. It just clicked. Felt like doing. Started learning from thm. @blissful snow

[echo sentinel]

Watch out 'cause you might never get out of cyber lol

[dreamy marlin]

@echo sentinel I don’t wanna 🤭
Just wanna be good at this🥺 😩

[echo sentinel]

Then THM is right place for you

[dreamy marlin]

@echo sentinel do you mind if I ask you something?

I was thinking, people play or do challenges with friends here in thm. Do you find friends from the community? Or you got real world friends who happen to be in cyber security too?

[fair trail]

if ur lf friends u should consider uni

[echo sentinel]

Tbh I've never met anyone in real life who was into cybersecurity. So mostly I've solved challenges and had fun with people from this server. I've made some nice friends here as well, very much broadened my knowledge and discovered new fields that I'd never find without them

[frozen gull]

[blissful current]

🦹‍♂️

[crystal moss]

Cat Pictures 2 done, all 3 flags... tricky, but fun:)

[brittle sapphire]

You did it without the write-up?

[dreamy marlin]

@echo sentinel that's really sweet. Actually I haven’t got anyone from my uni either.

[brittle sapphire]

I've had to change my mindset when looking at the write-up, I've always seen it as 'failure' but I realised that I'm just learning it from it

[dreamy marlin]

Yeah if I find someone. That's the prob. 😩

[blissful current]

[echo sentinel]

Then probably at some point you'll meet people here - either on text or VC

[crystal moss]

yes , but ia friend give me a hint.. or two:P

[rapid merlin]

THM{You_Deserve_A_Rest_King}

[brittle sapphire]

That's fair enough, it's a bloody hard one

[fair trail]

idk abt banglöadesh but usually theres always a ctf club around u just have to find it

[brittle sapphire]

I only realised recently there is an Insane level on THM

god knows what that must be like

[rapid merlin]

There are no rooms on that level, I think?

[crystal moss]

i get you.. but no shame in writeup, like you say, you leran from it!

[sand trench]

ANOTHER ONE

[rapid merlin]

Oh wait

There is

I am dumb

[echo sentinel]

A couple are

[echo sentinel]

Try to solve them, or read writeups

[brittle sapphire]

These show up when you filter by insane

But aren't marked as 'insane'

[crystal moss]

Yes.. for sure! Im not use to the ctf mindset, it is not real world, it is a diferent thinking...

[blissful current]

open them , then they r marked as insane

🦹‍♂️

[brittle sapphire]

Ah

[sand trench]

you're in a cave has been insane marked for ages

[brittle sapphire]

you are quite right

so would be weird if it is not anymore

[echo sentinel]

Yup - loadable kernel modules

[polar wraith]

ahhh

theyre cool

[echo sentinel]

Fr

[dreamy marlin]

@fair trail yeah there are a lot of people who are into cybersecurity in BD. They are really amazing. But in my uni we don't have a dept. dedicated to this field in undergrad. That's why it’s hard to find those gems.🥲

[round orbit]

A subwoofer and 2 front new speakers will go hard

hm...

[blissful current]

me

[keen comet]

Nice, good work! I'm not going for first place this weeks leauge, trying next week instead. The first spot is a bit too high for me. 😄

TryHackMe works in mysterious ways

[echo sentinel]

Fun thing to do - I've made now .id_rsa stealer

[crystal moss]

it is when type is PoV

[polar wraith]

hows it work

[echo sentinel]

When you click on them they are marked as insane

[dreamy marlin]

What does PoV mean here btw?

[echo sentinel]

Whenever someone reads file named ".id_rsa" it just prints it to the kernel log

[dreamy marlin]

I saw those modules too marked as PoV

[polar wraith]

ah lol

[brittle sapphire]

Great. Now I'm being recommended the 'Insane' rooms. 😭

[mossy river]

w, you're jjust that good

[brittle sapphire]

clearly

[echo sentinel]

I'd assume poin't of view - Red team, blue team or Purple team

[brittle sapphire]

TryHackMe has seen all my easy CTF wins.

[echo sentinel]

You'll make it lol

[crystal moss]

if you search for like ctf and type set to PoV and level insane level i see it,if i go to challenges direct i cant chose PoV and it says HARD when marking filter insene

[dreamy marlin]

@echo sentinel ohhh from that perspective.... i see..thanks...

[crystal moss]

you are not insane.. it is the room:D

[echo sentinel]

When you search for challenges at "challenges" tab it shows as hard - but in search it's marked insane

interesting

[crystal moss]

yes

[frozen gull]

Teamless

[echo sentinel]

Purple for life imo

[blazing dagger]

Black team

[dreamy marlin]

There should be a thing called noob for people like me who just started. 😩

[echo sentinel]

There are paths and easy challenges?

[frozen gull]

True

[rapid merlin]

I'd say Give OSIRIS a Try too ❤️

[dreamy marlin]

@echo sentinel Yeah doing Pre security.
Just kidding as I can't say which team I'm on.

[blissful current]

[frozen gull]

Red teamm is hard-core

Blue is chill

[upper knoll]

i dont know put someone in a SOC and i doubt theyd call it chill

[echo sentinel]

You'll figure it out once you learn a bit - Red, Blue and Purple teams are just different brunches of cybersec
Red - offensive (Penetration testing, bug bounty)
Blue - defensive (SOC, Malware analysis, Digital forensics, Incident response)
Purple - combination of both ngl

[frozen gull]

Compared to red operations it's doable

[upper knoll]

id still doubt its described as chill

[bleak quartz]

Red gives better dopamine hits for the monke brain tho

[crystal moss]

But if you doing Redteaming you need to know about Blue things and Blue need to know about Red etc...

[frozen gull]

Yes

But soc is okayishh

[echo sentinel]

Overall to be a hacker you need to be jack-of-all trades lol

[frozen gull]

OSEE

OSEP

[crystal moss]

yes!

[frozen gull]

Hack the box certificate for bounty hunter

All these are

Hellroads

[dreamy marlin]

@echo sentinel both the team know cool stuff. But I think everyone is kinda purple. Cz every team needs to know what the opposite team is doing or capable of doing.

[frozen gull]

Crto is worse

[echo sentinel]

Yup, but it's not really about what you know, but what you do

[frozen gull]

Compared to these certif I feel taking blue is chill

[dreamy marlin]

Yeah that's true.

[crystal moss]

"Purple teaming aims to improve the organization's overall security by collaboratively identifying weaknesses and vulnerabilities and then developing and implementing plans to mitigate those risks"

[frozen gull]

Doing week long project + report isn't my cup of red bull

[crystal moss]

report are fun.. And i big part of pentesting

[frozen gull]

So they identify bugs and Patch it themselves

[dreamy marlin]

What type of projects does Cybersecurity people do?

Do they develop tools to hack or not get hacked?

[frozen gull]

Red teamer. They create to hack blues once create defence

[trail sequoia]

like red team could create an exploit for a specific vulnerability

blue maybe some sort of scanner for phising websites

[dreamy marlin]

@frozen gull I've so many things to learnnnn aaaaaa

[frozen gull]

Windows is abusable compared to mac

[trail sequoia]

have you just started?

[frozen gull]

Every update u get a new zero day bug

[dreamy marlin]

Yesss still a dummy

[echo sentinel]

Yeah - but that's the most interesting part of this field

[crystal moss]

yes, it is and if you dont have the basic in Network, Servers, OS , coding etc, it is even lot more:D

[crystal moss]

100% i love to learn, and you can never lerarn it all...

[frozen gull]

Just do practicals bro I die with boredom learning bout all these networking bla bla bla

Cuz it's never ending

And I still don't know how to interpret IPv6

[crystal moss]

but it is the same... you can learn until you die... even if it is just practical

[dreamy marlin]

I love learning new things.
I can see my future... Sobbing and laughing like a madman at 3 am.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking to join a team for an upcoming CTF on CTFtime. I'm passionate about cybersecurity and eager to participate and learn more through real challenges.
I'm currently at level 0x9 [Mage] on TryHackMe and focusing on areas like [Web Exploitation, Privilege Escalation, Red Teaming – adjust as needed].
If any team is looking for members or if you have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

[frozen gull]

I was forced into this field

[bleak quartz]

Check dms

[wraith tusk]

aha, same shi

[frozen gull]

I hate my life

[fervent ruin]

why sqlmap takes so long to get the names of the databases? it finds letter by letter, why is that?

[shut hawk]

guessing its boolean based SQLi?

[fervent ruin]

time-based blind

[brittle sapphire]

From what I understand as it's blind, it has to literally enumerate letter by letter to get the full name

So if the page load takes the expected SLEEP time. SQLMap knows the letter it's enumerating exists in position X. (As it can't see the response of the query)

[shut hawk]

Ok so yeah, sleep = bad, not sleep = good

Or vice versa

You only get one bit of information from it

[echo sentinel]

Not really - those are just different ways of doing an attack

[fervent ruin]

but how is it finding the letters? how it knows the correct letters

[brittle sapphire]

I assume it uses IF statements in the SELECT

[robust skiff]

How do ctfs work

[brittle sapphire]

So IF a letter exists at position, SLEEP for 30 secs for example

and if it sleeps we know that letter exists in that position

[shut hawk]

Huh?

[fervent ruin]

i think i understand

but this takes too much time

[brittle sapphire]

Time-based blind might be the worst type of SQL injection haha.

But SQL injection is SQL injection

[shut hawk]

indeed

[echo sentinel]

SQL Injection is not always visible - so even though it's a serious vulnerability, you can't see any output untill you use SLEEP in your payload.

Just because it's slower, doesn't mean it's bad - if you see the results then don't use it, but that's not always the case

[shut hawk]

I never said it's slower? Or that it's bad in general?

[sour basalt]

Hi everyone, I just want to ask something. I found a Facebook page promoting vouchers at great prices. Is it considered spam, or is there a real possibility of getting vouchers at a reduced price?

[shut hawk]

I'm well aware of the different types of sqli injections, I was explaining to them how if the SQL server sleeps, then the condition could be false (i.e it's not the letter) but if it doesn't, you then know it's true

[brittle sapphire]

I guess if you want to dump a table of 10 mil rows, it might be less then ideal haha. But that is for the black hatters to worry about.

[echo sentinel]

exactly

[shut hawk]

Ah, okay when I used the words "bad" and "good" I meant that in terms of a Boolean - good being that the input was correct, bad being that it wasn't

I think you interpreted that as me saying that it's good or bad in general

[sick lance]

They're more than likely stolen.

[brittle sapphire]

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I'm finding the HackerOne hacktivity really useful to get pentesting tips

I'm happy some companies publicize their (resolved) vulnerabilities. No shame.

[glass thorn]

Guys I’m new to cyber security I can do a very simple web-app pentest and know how to use burpsuite metasploit hydra nmap and a lot of those simple tool I’m pretty good at networking and I know how to do sum thorough sub-domain analysis and stuff like that does anyone have any tips?

[echo sentinel]

Learn more?

[glass thorn]

I’m asking for tips

[dreamy marlin]

ig some use business account and then buy a lot then sell them? but most of them really frauds. in my country they do stuffs like that too. but i donno their ads are too obvious. -_-

[echo sentinel]

That's the tip - you can always learn more and it won't harm you. Lurk on Burp's academy or some BB reports

[silver sky]

Either I've lost the plot or.... I've lost the plot 😂

[upper knoll]

best tip i can offer is learn how to research your own weaknesses and practice them thm has so many free resources and rooms if u know what u need to focus on just hop on there and youll grow quickly

[quaint sundial]

Im having problems to execute python script on Looney Tunables

Someone helps?

[upper knoll]

this for a room?

[quaint sundial]

Yeah

[upper knoll]

#site-support you can get some help with that or u can use the attack box once a day if you wish to stay on free

[upper knoll]

what are u trying to hide?

[glossy totem]

not hide like

when u hack something i dont want people to know how i am or where i live

[echo sentinel]

Why would you hack something that you can't?

[gusty inlet]

Then I assume you're trying to hack illegally?

[wraith tusk]

for what da reason you gotta hide yourself in ethical hacking

[trail sequoia]

then you are probably not ethical

[knotty valve]

Tbf anonymous reporting does exist

I do it for personal reasons tho

[upper knoll]

its also a community rule not to engage with people breaking rules

[knotty valve]

Yeah

[sand trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2YGzaaDXgQ

[upper knoll]

whats this shadow?

[knotty valve]

Nice

Browser iirc

[brittle sapphire]

i hope chromium

[upper knoll]

yes i guessed that i was wondering why she used it

[knotty valve]

I've had no reason to move from Firefox tbh

[brittle sapphire]

oh wow it uses its own rendering engine, how rare

[wraith tusk]

eh, no windows support, but a good browser to move from chrome tbh

[upper knoll]

why would u use chrome

the bloatware is real

[sand trench]

??? what do you mean no windows support???

[wraith tusk]

sync by devices

[brittle sapphire]

I guess if you're heavily integrated in the Google ecosystem it makes sense

but I do agree

[upper knoll]

idk i never saw much need in that

and it slows everything down so much

[knotty valve]

I have a Frankenstein ecosystem, where everything is just different but I somehow make it all work together

[wraith tusk]

it is not in priority right now in Blackbird, and no one is working on win support

[brittle sapphire]

There are even Chromium alternatives that are so much better then Chrome

[knotty valve]

Like MS Edge /j

[sand trench]

yeah focusing on getting a working browser before making it work on all platforms is a good thing in shadows eyes

[upper knoll]

agreed

[wraith tusk]

that's true

[brittle sapphire]

Hahahaha, yano what Edge isn't even that bad these days

[sand trench]

looking at servo and ladybird a lot because getting more competition in the browser world is critical

[brittle sapphire]

Much better compared to when they tried to do it themselves

[winged nimbus]

wrong and right at the same time

[crystal mauve]

@grizzled wing where u been ? Is there any discord better than us ?

[sand trench]

and then suddenly shadow recalls this xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/198/

xkcd: Perspective

I wonder what I was dreaming to prompt that. I hope it wasn't the Richard Stallman Cirque de Soleil thing again.

[knotty valve]

They did have some neat things in their version before the fork

[wraith tusk]

anyways, i would move soon to linux, so what browser you guys would recommend to move on?

[upper knoll]

you could always throw that in #1333993673381253162

[knotty valve]

Firefox is usually preinstalled

Normally not much reason to move

[upper knoll]

and foxprox is useful

[knotty valve]

But I use the LibreWolf fork and Firefox

[winged nimbus]

firefox with some opensource extensions

[brittle sapphire]

I'm still a Brave fanboy personally

I just like the out the box ad blocking

[knotty valve]

LibreWolf pretty much hardens majority of firefox for you, then it's up to you on what plugins you want

[winged nimbus]

you can easily make firefox like brave with a couple of settings changes and extensions

[sand trench]

shadow uses standard firefox with arkenfox user.js

[bleak quartz]

Librewolf

[blissful current]

OperaGX 🦹‍♂️

[brittle sapphire]

only for gamerz

true gamerz

[blissful current]

im partially Gamer and Game Dev too so ya

[wraith tusk]

Okay, i heard, but which distro is the most compatible and useful without pain in ass?

[sand trench]

can't trust opera after their loanshark scandals

[sand trench]

probably fedora or arch

[bleak quartz]

Can't really be trusted imo, a bunch of sketchy shi like tha fake main office in Norway while actually being based in Chima

China*

[brittle sapphire]

Wow, really?

[blissful current]

i use firefox and brave on Kali VM tho

[brittle sapphire]

They faked their main office?

[wraith tusk]

any words about mint?

[shadow coyote]

[winged nimbus]

it is common practice for companies based in china and russia (and other countries under sanctions)

[bleak quartz]

Nobara for gamingg

[bleak quartz]

Yeah, they've been under an investigation for a bit and more and more stuff comes out

[sand trench]

also good but updates slower then fedora and arch and thereby don't have support for somethings as quickly

[wraith tusk]

ain't gonna play much, that's why i am not selecting "gaming" distros

[bleak quartz]

Ofc it's not as bad as Microsoft's business but it's still very sketchy

[sand trench]

arch is the best for gaming as proved by steam/valve making the steamdeck use an arch linux fork

[brittle sapphire]

Has Linux gaming become a thing? I remember the pain of having to use Wine

[bleak quartz]

Fair

Give NixOs

A try

ain't installing arch is pain in ass?

[brittle sapphire]

Ah yeah I forgot they have their own distro

[sand trench]

naaah... a few commands to setup wifi
then you use the tui archinstall and you are done

[bleak quartz]

Not on paper but in reality yes

The office is empty

[wraith tusk]

Ohh, i ain't have wifi tho, ethernet is favor

[bleak quartz]

It's just to have a mark "based in Norway"

[sand trench]

then it is just run the tui archinstall and you are done

[bleak quartz]

It's that paper shi

[wraith tusk]

i just thinked that installing arch is about to make all partition bs in commands without even a gui

[sand trench]

try it in a vm to check how easy it is

[sand trench]

yeah the recommended way is to do the manual install with the wiki guide

but archinstall exists and works so well most people should be able to use arch

but if you want a fully gui install endeavour os works good enough as a replacement

[wraith tusk]

ohh, thanks for this one, because i wanna install arch but with the most comfortable "like-windows" way, if i'm gonna change system ssd's or something other, to have just chill install

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sand trench (current: #4 - 2133)

[sand trench]

endeavour os is basically just arch but with a few hooks into pacman and their own repo... they still use main arch repos for nearly everything

[upper knoll]

i think this is about a room so #room-help

[random comet]

long way to say an ip add

[red surge]

sup

[knotty valve]

You mean only for Mozilla Foundation Services

Firefox isn't a part of that

MFS is exclusive to their cloud products

[sand trench]

they are not gonna sell your data

[knotty valve]

^

[sand trench]

they had to change those sections of their privacy policy because of stuff like the california privacy act

which defines sale of data in very very broad terms

also if firefox dies so does librewolf and most other firefox downstream browsers

[knotty valve]

And it was specific to cloud services since they don't know what happens on Firefox anyway, only if you enable telemetry which they use mainly for bugs and whatnot

Reddit is full of misinformation

And the news misreports a lot

[sand trench]

this might not be accurate

[knotty valve]

Most of what they know that happens comes from enabled cloud services on FF and telemetry

[sand trench]

well yeah the way firefox handled this data and fiasco certainly is not inspiring good faith... but it is mostly a thing blown out of porportions

[knotty valve]

It got blown out by twitter and everyone instantly boycotting them

[clear jackal]

Mozilla themselves released a response I believe explaining everything, maybe take a look at that

[rapid merlin]

I am so glad I’m not on twitter

[knotty valve]

Iirc they changed the terms three times since then to make it clearer

Legalese is a pain to understand admittedly

[sand trench]

if firefox had opened with the regulations they gotta follow means they "sell" data it would have culled a lot of the fear uncertinty and doubt

also known as FUD

and chrome for sure sells your data

[knotty valve]

Def could have been initiated a lot better yeah

is this stuff practical in anyway?

[knotty valve]

Using xor to encrypt? No cause it's weak

xor is a very common logic operator

[knotty valve]

That too

why cant i just use a software to solve it for me

[dense minnow]

is burp more reliable than using development tool [network tab] to edit request and capture response?

[echo sentinel]

Burp can do more of course

[dense minnow]

because they dont seem to give the same result

with the same request

[blissful current]

use dcode to identify the Cipher or hash type , and decode accordingly
CyberChef doesnt have all the necessary tools too so dont be dependent on it completely, on diff type of cipher and it gets stuck xD

[echo sentinel]

It is - it has a network tab for a reason

[dense minnow]

you can edit and resend request in network tab

[simple epoch]

Found this, for any1 interested

[blissful current]

or can do Scripting, can use AI for scripting help , most of the veterans do it too

[dense minnow]

yea, but sometimes in network tab with the same request I dont get the same result in burp and I dont understand why

usually burp gets the right result

I changed the method of get request to post request and edit the parameters in network tab. Did the same in burp. Burp gives the right result but development tool gives me nothing

I dont know what went wrong and it bugs me

but if you do it in inspector you get the right result, just not the "network" tab

maybe I should avoid development tool "network tab" for good?

yes I guess I will stick with burp then, thanks!

Yep. That's how infinities work.

The infinitie series dominates any other discrete value, so discrete values modifying an infinite series are basically doing nothing.

Nice , enjoy 🙂

[pallid lotus]

I mean, the process for making cheese involves:

1. Sexually assaulting and impregnating a cow
2. Emotionally (and physically if male) assaulting both the cow and calf upon birth
3. Extracting bodily fluids from the grieving cow, then deliberately curdling said bodily fluids and mixing them with scrapings of stomach lining from, uh, dead cows
4. Immediately repeating the process

NGL, I don't really have a response to "I know how abusive it is but I'm going to choose to endorse it anyway because it's tasty".
Never have found a logical argument that works for that one.

[upper knoll]

It’s not logical and I don’t endorse it it’s so prevalent in our society i do discuss it

[pallid lotus]

See, if it was a case of you going out and shooting an animal to survive, I would actually agree with you.

Traditionally humans would kill to live, and use every part of the animal.

In the 21st century that's:

1. Not what happens, and
2. Completely unnecessary.
   It's possible to live a healthy life without killing, which turns it into a moral decision.

Humans are unique in that we can choose.
You choose to abuse and slaughter animals. That's all there is to it.

These days it's a case of animals being farmed, usually in horrific conditions, then being sent to a slaughter house.

They don't get to live. The only reason they exist is to be slaughtered en masse for greedy humans to buy in plastic packaging from a supermarket. They are treated as a product.

Does that seem natural to you?

Kinda sad my last one died 😦
#general message

Enjoying it comes back down to that moral choice.

You actually can change how you feel without it -- that's just a "make sure you get the right nutrition" thing. Dropping meat and not replacing it with anything doesn't end well.

But reducing consumption is better than nothing 🤷‍♂️

Legumes and beans won't give you enough omega 3 or any b12, both of which you need for proper brain function

[winged nimbus]

< just eat a clean and balanced diet

[pallid lotus]

People on a plant based diet generally get those from supplements -- that's the missing link between the 21st century and previously.

Good way to replace protein though

[winged nimbus]

unless you are wealthy a good plant based diet isn't achievable

because you have to take regular blood tests to insure you are getting the correct amount of stuff (almost like humans aren't meant to eat just one type of food)

that isn't enough though

[pallid lotus]

Rubbish.
Processed substitutes are expensive, yes. Raw ingredients tend to be much cheaper than a chunk of flesh.

[pallid lotus]

I haven't had a blood test since I was a teenager. Still absolutely fine.

[winged nimbus]

i am talking about the tests and supplements (those processed shit is soo fucking bad for you)

[pallid lotus]

It's also rubbish to say that a plant based diet only consists of one type of food.

[winged nimbus]

i meant that as a broad type

[pallid lotus]

Costs me £14 for a 6 month supply of supplements. How much does a steak cost you?

[winged nimbus]

i was refering to all of these groups

i didn't litterally mean a single group

[pallid lotus]

... In what context?
You said humans aren't supposed to eat just one type of food, heavily implying that that's all a plant based diet consists of, then dropped an image of the six kingdoms of life.

Not entirely sure how that's relevant, but 🤷‍♂️

[rapid merlin]

I got diagnosed with a vitamin D count of 26 with low folate and advised to take K2. I rarely eat meat because it’s expensive. What can I eat to make my body better again

I would say I eat mostly fruit and veg

[rapid merlin]

meat is NOT expensive uncle 💔

[winged nimbus]

when you compare it too the cheap junk that is the product of late stage capitalism

[rapid merlin]

It’s expensive

[rapid merlin]

i mean obviously

its like 10$

Is that a dollar

I can’t see

10

Ten

[winged nimbus]

also nearly every country in the west has borderline no education around how to eat and shop efficiently

[rapid merlin]

I’m in England

1 and a 0

oh

lol

yeh im american so i couldn't tell u

Our prices are different and so is our economy

[pallid lotus]

I mean, a supplement would be the obvious choice in terms of quickly boosting your K2 intake

[winged nimbus]

100g of average beef mince is like 1.5-2 NZ dollars (if you go to costco it is like 1 dollar)

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but I mean for long term due to eating habbits

[pallid lotus]

Or any intake for that matters regardless of your diet.

[rapid merlin]

My doctor said this

[ivory summit]

Would it take more than a year to hit 0x11

Wait prob not

But uh a few months?

[bleak quartz]

Whats 0x11 agaim

[rapid merlin]

a few weeks

[ivory summit]

Vangaurd

[bleak quartz]

Oh

[rapid merlin]

def not months

just gotta be consistent

[bleak quartz]

Is it after master

[boreal scarab]

@pallid lotus MUIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[bleak quartz]

Wait lemme check actually

[rapid merlin]

I feel like there must be foods I can eat more of to fix it

[winged nimbus]

but you aren't eatting a 1kg thing of mince per serving

[bleak quartz]

80k points

[rapid merlin]

the prices here are different for a steak its like 14-20$ so i guess ya

[bleak quartz]

Mf

[bleak quartz]

80k

Points

[pallid lotus]

Hm, it's not one I've specifically had to target. Looks to largely come from fermented foods, so nattō and sauerkraut being obvious options.

[bleak quartz]

I got a 31 day streak and I started 31 days ago

[pallid lotus]

Again, I'd go with what the doctor suggests, personally

[winged nimbus]

you don't eat a nice steak for every meal
steak is expensive and always has been

[bleak quartz]

I'm at

[rapid merlin]

i mean i do

idk about u

[bleak quartz]

7.9k

I think

[winged nimbus]

are you complaining about the price

[rapid merlin]

no

[bleak quartz]

Lemme sign in to check

[pallid lotus]

I mean, a few levels down, but I did 0xD in about 10 days

[rapid merlin]

thats a fair price imo

[umbral bay]

Be Happy, be Healthy, Be Amazing. 🥳

[pallid lotus]

... granted in 2019 when the points system was very different

[rapid merlin]

damn unc

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/where-everything-is-made-up-whose-line-is-it-anyway-dont-matter-speech-gif-16818708

[bleak quartz]

I got 7.7k points after 31 days

[winged nimbus]

meat prices are fair in most countries
people just want and excuse sometimes

[rapid merlin]

All this food talk making me hungry

Fr

[winged nimbus]

costco is fucking amazing for buying meat

[winged nimbus]

you just need a big family or space to freeze it

[bleak quartz]

Reall

[winged nimbus]

a dedicated freezer pays off

[rapid merlin]

I get my kimchi from there

It’s a big tub

[winged nimbus]

you should deff start making that yourself (extra points if you have the space to grow some the ingredients yourself)

[pallid lotus]

Now I'm curious as to just how many fermented foods contain K2.
Is it all of them?

... In which case could this be a legitimate excuse to go out and get totally shit faced?

[winged nimbus]

fucking hell 12 dollars for two plant based burger patties

[rapid merlin]

Wait I missed that part of the chat

k2 in fermented foods ?

[rapid merlin]

shit got thermites in it 😭

[winged nimbus]

the ingredients** DO NOT** look healthy

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, don't buy the processed substitutes smh
Aside from being expensive and disgusting, they're also not exactly great for you.

If you want a plant based burger recipe, I've got a great one involving a 60p can of chickpeas, some frozen sweetcorn, and a couple tbsp of gram flour

[rapid merlin]

the good meat is a bit more expensive

[winged nimbus]

it is cheaper and healthier to eat a nice steak at that point

[pallid lotus]

Aye. Looks to be made as part of the fermentation process.

[boreal gull]

yeah u posted impossible burger, famously super processed

[pallid lotus]

So fermented foods are good for K2. Your kimchi, for example.

[winged nimbus]

(it also kills less animals if the cow is farmed responsibly)

[boreal gull]

whats next? mcdonalds uses salt?

[pallid lotus]

How in the ever loving fuck did you come to this conclusion?

[winged nimbus]

the supermarket is trying to psyop me into buying expensive slop when i just try and find cheap chicken

[pallid lotus]

Trying to psyop me

Filtered by dietary and lifestyle

[winged nimbus]

default filter

[pallid lotus]

Ah, fair enough

[winged nimbus]

nothing is actually selected in that field

[pallid lotus]

Well, hey, good on them pushing the cruelty free versions then.

Less good they're pushing the processed slop, but hey

Suppose that's what makes them money
