well, i work in at an inpatient unit at a hospital, so i have 12 hours (till 6am-ish) to work on depending on the amount of patients!!

# rapid merlin So you do cybersecurity as a hobby?

Went to uni for 2.5 years undergrad for cybersecurity, didn’t finish, have 2 years prior experience of vocational school which was a cybersecurity course, plus some loser lame certs.

but yes, cyber is a big hobby, it’s just so easy & fun & tbh i probably have the least amount of legit “hacking” training lol, i j teach myself

oh im 21 🤓

We have a subject in the uni named "initiation de conception" it's in french but translated it's Design initiation and in it we do the plan of the project and what to do in the backend and frontend and give roles to the team and allat

let me ask you a key question to gauge something

oblique bough
#

and minimize the sources that i use

cosmic pendant
#

Can you explain to me right now, the difference between routing and switching?

oblique bough
#

routing would be like directing one data packet to another

tired peak
#

hmmm

cosmic pendant
#

(i'm waiting for the switching part)

oblique bough
#

and switching is transfering packets from one device to another if i remeber clearly

cosmic pendant
#

that's close

oblique bough
#

is the first one correct?

cosmic pendant
#

that's a better answer I get than most

loud marlin
cosmic pendant
#

You route to networks, you swtich to host

#

But, knowing all the protocls that make the internet work

That's a huge starting point by itself

#

Heya!

#

Just bought a new house so that's exicting. The less fun part, the moving and etc that is happening over the next few days

craggy trout
#

Congratulations

sinful moon
#

Thanks! Yeah I'm quite excited to have more space. And nice!

loud marlin
#

so more retro space things

sinful moon
#

yeah entire room for my retro stuff, as I intended here but that eventually had to be moved into our home office, where I don't want to really be in when our workday is done lol

#

basically upgrading from post WWII starter home into 1970s split level family home in US home standards

loud marlin
#

i also found that friend have un-opened commodore64. and i rly wish that to be true lol

sinful moon
#

damn if so that's actually quite valuable complete in box and such

loud marlin
#

as other friend says. he get it and never openned

#

yea. i need run to him with first chance

sinful moon
#

heh if you have an interest, then yea you could snag it for significantly less

#

but even CIB like that and unopened, do still use a modern power supply for it. There's tons of them online from vendors who sell C64 stuff, do not just trust that stock PSU brick

loud marlin
#

it might be true. cos ik for sure that he have around 1k dvd's. original's ofc. and have shit loads of other things like that.

sinful moon
#

heh we're going on 1.8K Blu-rays and DVDs, totally fair

loud marlin
#

sweet

sinful moon
#

mhmm and that's just the movies. Anyways though lol

#

sounds exciting

loud marlin
#

yea...

#

i get my self yubikey. and finally i put it to git to work. and with lot's of shits lol

#

and even made as LUKS decrypt and login on sddm. and lockscreen if i unplug it lol

sinful moon
#

awesome good stuff

loud marlin
#

then i frack smth up and was unable to login... 🙂

sinful moon
#

you should always have a secondary method for LUKS2 like a passphrase ideally

#

absolute worst case you'd be able to cryptsetup mount the partition to fix

loud marlin
#

yea. luks is ok. the lockscreen i fracked. but i learn hard for luks. it bonked once and i didnt have backup to restore it

#

but now arch using luks2

sinful moon
#

well yeah that's much less fo a big deal thankfully, but yeah always good to have backups

#

um what you were using LUKS1?

loud marlin
#

up so far. as default arch. iirc is like from two release ago that they add luks2

dark wolf
#

you know what's a fun game?? HD Poker... Especially when you are playing from 3 different accounts as 3 players at the same table out of 7 players lol

sinful moon
#

lol sounds like you're doing archinstall instead of setting this up yourself

loud marlin
#

i do yea hehee

#

i made all but i create user_configuration file to speed up things heh

sinful moon
#

had no idea archinstall was still doing LUKS1 this late, that's not great

#

obvs they don't for some time but yeah

#

just LUKS1 is old and busted

#

totally fair

loud marlin
#

it failed for me when i was using LVM with LUKS

sinful moon
#

imho that's an unnessessary pain

loud marlin
#

yea

sinful moon
#

I'm just doing raw LUKS2 with no LVM

loud marlin
#

now i changed things to not LVM. and set timeshift

sinful moon
#

Honestly I don't need snapshots and such, but yeah to each their own

loud marlin
#

btrfs ofc

sinful moon
#

just ext4 for me, I don't have a lot of trust in btrfs

loud marlin
#

i also do not need. but it kida is ok in Oh Crap sittuation

sinful moon
#

that's fair, but I'm usually smart enough to make config backups before I mess something up dramatically lol

loud marlin
#

oh. btrfs is ok. the snapshots gets fast back. it even add option to rollback on grub screen

sinful moon
#

Arch typically doesn't just break, it's the user who does the breaking lol.

loud marlin
#

if you can't get in. so to say

sinful moon
#

totally fair just imho overkill for my needs and I've heard horror stories

loud marlin
#

horror stories will be all the time 🙂

#

but yea. general backup on daily basis

sinful moon
#

yep fair enough

rapid merlin
#

my backups used to be on point but ive gotten lazy lately, haha

loud marlin
#

i jsut set rsync and pigz and it works like charm

rapid merlin
#

whats pigz?

loud marlin
#

multyprocess compression

sinful moon
#

for my OS drive, realistically as long as my dot files have been backed up, then nbd. and I have old dot file backups anyways

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

been using the same .zshrc, .tmux.conf, .vimrc and etc for decades now lol

loud marlin
sinful moon
#

no big deal

rapid merlin
#

oh lol! my bad

sinful moon
#

no worries!

loud marlin
#

i also like my .dotfiles 🙂

sinful moon
#

yeah I back up my cava as well indeed, don't feel any need to customize my fastfetch to that extent though

rapid merlin
#

i basically have separated my personal files from all my media, etc. my core files are only like 400 mb. but i need to backup my OS settings too

sinful moon
#

yeah that's how I've done things for quite some time. OS drive and then Media and Documents drive, but I also have a NAS as well anyways

rapid merlin
loud marlin
#

i just do general backup. and wrote bash script for all backups and all the things. also for restore

sinful moon
#

don't feel the need to share everything in my desktop since I've gotten pretty boring compared to how I used to customize everything, but here's at lesat my fastfetch showing my general setup

rapid merlin
#

i want to share my setup now but im on my phone ha

#

30 gb mem! ha nice! i see ur set for the ram apocalypse lol

sinful moon
#

lol you think that's a lot, one sec

loud marlin
#

oh dear... eliz have lots mem

sinful moon
#

My home lab server running Proxmox:

#

also that HDD space is just for Proxmox OS wise, it's actually a 64TB RAID

loud marlin
#

what in the fresh turkey you running on that lol

sinful moon
#

bunch of stuff, but media encoding and media servers are a decent bulk of it atm.

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

thanks! It's a PowerEdge T430

loud marlin
#

my prox is old t450 lenovo

rapid merlin
#

wait, do u have attached storage? i only see 100 gb storage.

sinful moon
#

48TB in the NAS and 64TB in the server

rapid merlin
#

lol holy smokes

sinful moon
#

we need it lol

rapid merlin
#

thats super awesome

sinful moon
#

lol let me do the filesize calc on our VIdeos folder on the NAS alone

loud marlin
#

for mrox i have 2x 1tb ssd and 2x 500gb ssd. and one 3tb hdd. and for other things is desktop 4x dock with 4x 4tb hdd

sinful moon
rapid merlin
#

omg thats nuts lol

#

good job though lol

sinful moon
#

yeah that accounts for 1,800+ movies and 200+ TV shows we've all ripped ourselves

#

my SO and myself

rapid merlin
#

nice

sinful moon
#

mhmm, 2x Blu-ray drives in the server actually for part of that workflow. But I won't get too into how that all works since it's legal here but not in all countries

wild vector
#

why i lose streak

queen flare

#

all personal

wild vector
rapid merlin
sinful moon
rapid merlin
sinful moon
queen flare
#

there's a messaging feature in the website too, from where u can open a support ticket

sinful moon
#

it's the Linux equivalent to VMware ESXi/vSphere basically

queen flare
#

i mostly use that since i'm lazy to write an email

rapid merlin
#

yeah, makes sense. i didnt realize proxmox was debian. thats really cool

loud marlin
#

and i get usb ssd pen drive...

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

ideally though you'd have multiple servers and you can cluster them

loud marlin
rapid merlin
loud marlin
#

is stand alone virtual manager and so more

sinful moon
#

lol that's fair but yeah do not do raw libvirt stuff for Proxmox, there's specific pve commands for this due to the clustered nature of this and etc

loud marlin
#

this one

rapid merlin
#

proxmox is probably way easier though

#

and has other features too

#

like the visualizations

sinful moon
loud marlin
#

yea

sinful moon
#

aka of other architectures

#

I do have a good bit of experience with that as well

loud marlin
sinful moon
#

hah totally fair

#

just nice to have one at all

loud marlin
#

yea. it helps for sure

rapid merlin
#

alright, u guys got me all fired up. gonna boot my laptop lol. will share. one sec

wild vector
rapid merlin
#

oh, weird. they used to.

loud marlin
#

messy proxmox and other craps lol

rapid merlin
rapid merlin
loud marlin
#

what else heh

rapid merlin
loud marlin
#

but i have spare windows laptop for some app's that can't run on linux

sturdy river
sinful moon
#

Who wouldn't be a linux main here before long lol

sinful moon
loud marlin
sinful moon
#

just odd, I much prefer my VMs to use virtual disk images

rapid merlin
#

alright, here's my setup. i should probably get system spec info, but it's not that impressive. but my GUI resource manager shows i'm using less than 2GB of RAM, lol

#

and i should probably figure out what agent is.... lol.... super random. gonna trace that down

#

it's probably just the government lol

#

jk

sinful moon
#

Good stuff, generally although lack of padding on your taskbar bugs me lol

#

looks like XFCE

rapid merlin
#

haha, yeah, i should probably fine tune it, but it works for me. i have very low standards for GUI, lol. yeah, XFCE

#

X11

sinful moon
#

If so you can add seperator padding

#

yep

#

I would be on XFCE right now if the wayland support was more robust, it's my fave DE by far

rapid merlin
#

gotcha, that's cool. i was having issues running wayland in discord voice chats. couldn't share my screen. maybe they fixed it, but x11 just works for me

sinful moon
#

Pretty rare I need to do so, but worked for streamign Dolphin Emulator just fine for me at least

rapid merlin
#

that's cool.

sinful moon
#

I'm just doing KDE/Wayland/Nvidia rn without issue which, I'm just happy works at all, let alone as fawlessly as it does now

rapid merlin
#

for sure. no issues with XFCE either. it's super lightweight and i like the fact that i have menus and keyboard shortcuts for all my apps

sinful moon
#

My setup is really nothing special. I used to go all out on ricing but I'm getting to old for that lol

loud marlin
#

oh proxmos support yubikey/totp and so 🙂

sinful moon
#

mhmm!

#

Just real "busy" screenshot besides my staged forground windows lol

rapid merlin
#

i've been working to build a collection of offline resources, to include things like source code, binaries, learning resources, etc. here's some of what i have so far, ha.

loud marlin
#

it works 🙂

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

That's for Proxmox login

rapid merlin
#

ah, gotcha

loud marlin
#

no. proxmox auth

#

got scared for sec to not be able to log back lol

sinful moon
#

Proxmox is indeed fully production ready in every meaning of the word

#

and nah alexander, you would have been able to get in with shell access to the server still to revert anything

#

just if anything got messed up

#

you can tell proxmox to remove your MFA method in the shell and such

loud marlin
#

yea. from device it self yea

sinful moon
#

mhmm

loud marlin
#

i didn't play that much in proxmox. not like some ppl here, i don't have half of internet at my home hosted 🙂

rapid merlin
#

Elizabeth is the reason cloudflare went down. she was downloading the internet to her homelab server.

#

lol jk

sinful moon
#

no them patching react2shell was the reason lol

#

CVSS 10 vuln

#

it's insane

rapid merlin
#

yeah, it's all over X right now

#

tons of posts and even a PoC

sinful moon
#

just call it Twitter like a sane person :p

rapid merlin
#

LOL

sinful moon
#

there's multiple PoCs out there

#

well known and being actively exploited

rapid merlin
#

yeah, makes sense

sinful moon
#

had to double check with our dev team since I couldn't remember, but nah they use Angular not React lol

rapid merlin
#

nice, that's a relief, i'm sure lol

sinful moon
#

mhmm

#

which lol "our dev team" is just my SO who is my coworker, long story but yeah

rapid merlin
#

LOL

sinful moon
#

I'm at a MSP not a software org

rapid merlin
#

for sure. i also work for a small company

sinful moon
#

yep same same

rapid merlin
#

i know how things go lol

#

many hats

sinful moon
#

yes quite literally

#

I am the entire infosec department, SOC manager and all, compliance manager, Windows sysadmin, Linux sysadmin, etc etc

rapid merlin
#

LOL, for sure. the struggle is real lol

sinful moon
#

lol and all of devops, I had to teach my SO how to devops to even properly manage that custom web app he was developing for us

#

he was just like "I'll host this on Windows Server with full GUI"... no please just no

rapid merlin
#

hahahaha

#

for sure

sinful moon
#

Nginix on Windows still isn't even "production ready" for one thing, but heck I know of orgs who use it for such

#

I'll be vague but looking at you Access Control industry

rapid merlin
#

lol

loud marlin
#

i need to stop buy humblebundle books, and start to read them... for a change =/

sinful moon
#

for vendors who are so into physical security, their software and supply chain security is awful

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

haha yeah I've bought at least one No Statch Press bundle for such

loud marlin
#

this shit need to stop =/

sinful moon
#

lol also yeah your choice of UI font is... interesting I'll just say lol. To each their own

loud marlin
#

Monofur Nerd Font

sinful moon
#

I used to use freaking Geometric San Serif fonts as my UI fonts in the 00s so I get it

rapid merlin
#

lol. i can only imagine haha

sinful moon
#

lol I still have those screenshots somewhere

rapid merlin
#

nice. i stick with liberation sans/mono on my current setup

#

works well

#

zero and O are different, lol. key metric there lol

loud marlin
#

my thunar =/ and i love my fonts...

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

June 1st 2009 on a 1024x600 netbook lol:

#

Which yep, here's Thunar as well lol

rapid merlin
loud marlin
#

in hyprland i use matugen for colors configuration. so every new wallpaper = new colors

#

so ahve lot's collored thunar heh

rapid merlin
#

or, window manager

sinful moon
loud marlin
#

this is now obsidian

sinful moon
#

Both of these are Openbox setups

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

yep lol

#

also that was not neofetch, that was archfetch.sh lol

#

predated the concept

loud marlin
#

i like that flat design

rapid merlin
#

gotcha. i've never run arch. always been in the debian camp. started on slackware. then gentoo. then... i think ubuntu, then qubes os, then popos, then debian again lol

sinful moon
#

lol totally fair, qubes is a bit of a meme

rapid merlin
sinful moon
#

But yeah I'm just one for bleeding edge software and digging at the guts of my OS and being responsable for it all. I just could never go back after building my systems up from scratch

#

every other distro felt like I was being handed someone else's linux install

rapid merlin
#

yeah, i know what you mean to some extent. i've been learning more over the years. i was going to try Linux From Scratch, but got sidetracked, ha
