If only she knew how much I did for her

You broke up or sum
Ya something like that
Damn
I won't say numbers
Don't have to
😭 I regret them now
I understand
Not dating now for a while for sure ✌️
Damn sis, how fucked up is ur life
I feel sad

I need to find the motivation to get the fuck off my computer and clean my desk
Fucking homeless janitor, my life is better?
Atleast you have a job
That's more chill than being CEO
And probably more profitable
U have a company too?
My shit falling apart les go
💀 I thought most people know that
In this server
Few people spreading that a lot
As a fucking building I meant
Wat u ceo of
You are so nonchalant
Wats ur proprietorship even about
It will be ad if I'll say
Hosting service
The one that's falling apart slowly
xD
I hate you
And the one that's having code jam rn
Don't we all 
xD
Thanks ig
No gift for you as you said happy bday and I hate bday
Ahh, u too don't like birthdays
Is it your birthday?
Ye
No I'm cool
Last 3 minutes of 5 Dec
Aka last 3 min of my bday
Well actually still not 24h since I was born
Happy birthday too uuu!
Thankssss
11pm in South Africa
But I hate it still
U remember the day?
I was told that by parents
I see
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ur not funny
Might release another article but it wont be a walkthrough this time.
Thinking of expanding my content a little more outside of just writeups
Pspspspspspsps
how life would feel if 90% of my studying I do w/o forcing myself was part of my school syllabus
Don't worry friend it's just a minor inconvenient
@nocturne nova how's it going
oh wow he remembers
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!!
but tbh, haven’t gotten any further, but have definitely learned a lot!!
i’m slowly figuring it out & i will finish this eventually, even if it means a slight nudge from someone 🤔
Are you a nurse or what
im not a nurse, im an airforce medic 🤓👍
That's so cute
So you do cybersecurity as a hobby?
How old are you
Wait does that mean you heal planes or the pilots
does anyone doing the React2Shell: CVE-2025-55182 room?
When i tried to send the payload from the repeater to the target machineIP:3000 i got a
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Connection: close
response. I tried to it again using different target but i always go the same response.
Why are people drooling on this advent of cyber. Everyone is just barking about it on LinkedIn and I am like what is the big deal. Who said your ass is even gonna win
I never seen someone call being a medic 'cute'
I think they get extra tickets if they post about it on LinkedIn
Anyone doing anything is cute to me I hate unemployed people
maybe try #room-help
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 🤓
tufff
all my schooling was for loser IT boring stuff
medic is such a solid career, you see a lot of people in the medic -> PA pipeline
air force for college 🤓😎
definitely not, big on cyber nerding, ethical hacker & OSCP/cissp is in my future 🫡
Suboptimal
ahh well, welcome
That's an interesting path for you young lady but why are you stressing over the side quest if it's just a hobby you silly
100% a dude 🫡probably should have specified such but
Ask me ask me about what I'm doing let me yap too (≧▽≦)
oh but im stressing bc i have to solve it
tell me everything u asked me 🙏
cybersecurity
Well I'm 20 too but I'm 2004 but I've been born in last December and me too cybersecurity wasn't my first choice I was studying economics I studied for a year and then switched to management for a year and then studied finance for two years but it had a lot of math and it was hard AF and I loved the IT so much so I switched and now I'm studying software engineering and I do cybersecurity for fun too but like I'm planning to work in cybersecurity when I finish
ahh cool and its military school?
no, im a medic for the next 5 years lol, no military cyber ever
maybe minor in psychology for the social engineering aspect bc i love that stuff
What did you do in life sweetheart
TELLLL USSSS
what do you do mj? 🙂
no I mean, you said air force for college, so I imagined you are in college right now?
tell @loud marlin that shadow is now configuring niri
or is the plan to do air force, get out, use military benefits for college later
I insist my desktop remain static and not scrollable
You and wizzarddos are the most 2 coolest people out there
And shiro
Maybe shad0wb0rne
Don't do thumbs up that's rude 
well also configuring mangowc
thanks for asking, im 21 im in college rn, my major is I.T w/ concentration in cybersecurity, i was a project manager for a company as a intern. Want to get a good cyber job after i graduate. i also am somewhat experienced in hacking i like to think im good but there is room for improvement
When I grow up I wanna be cool like you
so many younguns
thats good
so many
How old are you and why do I feel some hatred energy from you
🤨
but i think maturity is more important than age. theres one particular person here whos young and is not a shit poster
i feel a @sturdy sequoia: in the force
what’s your dream cyber job
That clown girl that you met is your soulmate go chase her
huh?
Shyft blocked me for no reason idk why and he's giving me the look always
unfortunately not yet, can’t do it until i hit a certain “level” for my job
but asap! hopefully by 26
Well I'm more of penetration testing guy just because I find it more fun but I want to be malware researcher one day but mainly I want to be a gray hat hacker I feel like it could be kinda fun
awesome
penetration testing seems boring to me but cyber is a big area
saying people are young isn't hatred, I love to see young people out there doing their thing
How does one find the attackbox password ?
like I love our interns, they are great, new hires, awesome
No I don't mean it like that and thanks for clarifying
Gave +1 Rep to @tired peak (current: #19 - 536)
In the ! Under it
How are you guardian level and don't know this
Never needed it before
I never use the attackbox
Oh okay so when you open the web box you'll find it under it like ! In this or something
The username and password
i think for some blue team ctfs you need to use attackbox
Found it ty
hmm I don't know why that would be the case
unless they have some things like logs on there
they usually give you that stuff in the room though. like to download
but I'll say its been a couple years since I've done anything on THM
im just in so much love with hacking!
Me too but I just love when I get the credits and I hate the process
gamified hacking can be fun, just the job of penetration testing? yeah no thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @nocturne nova (current: #3372 - 1)
The job is just writing reports all day long
like the HTB seasons are pretty fun
or finding vulnerabilities on systems that have no right to be in a modern environment...
it does pmo a lot but tbh it’s so fun & just everything IT related meshed together
project management is a skill, a skill I do not have
i mean fair, but i love it too much
my project management types keep me on track
i'm like "when is this due? what is going on here" and they have it all
Let's do challenges and we do a box together and see who can solve it faster from time to time
I need competition for me to act
and I love them for it
oh i did think about cryptology careers, huge fan there
Sorry if it's a stupid question but what do the project manager do
how about cryptidology?
apparently keep me on track
hmmm, I wonder when I installed my new game obession 
project managers track project milestones, ensure the teams are working together to achieve the stated goals in time, they try to reduce roadblocks, get the right teams talking to eachother, etc
we have specialized cyber project management folks
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
Is this what the manager do?
they also interface with execs / management as well as technical folks
oh, hi Zojja
sounds like it
long time
hey kyooty
dude you’re probably gonna whoop me, idek what the hardest thing i can do is
hmmm
my husband was doing THM and he was doing some AI stuff so I was like well let me check out AoC
understandable, I have been too busy with life to check out AoC myself
I'm not that far ahead believe me lol but if you're gonna do any network penetration testing box tell me about it I'll try
Well, pick something, I’ll give it a shot
its pretty quick, 10-20 minutes, I'm also studying for a certification
Oh nice I’m married too 🔥🔥
Tomorrow because rn it's 1am right here
yeah, I work as a consultant now, so time is not something I have 😄
just dm me or at me idk lolol
You're married?
military people get married quickly, its like a law or something 🤣
Lucky them
Getting married is like top 1 priority for me rn I want to have a job just for that
God bless you all
uhh interesting
I mean I don't know if I'd make it a top priority, you are still young
Idk why married people always advising to not get married lol
Oh why of course
It always surprises me when someone my age gets married lol I feel old
well good nights everyone... it is the time for sleep sloop to beep boop for meep moop
Feels like it
Off base living, housing allowance, food allowance, seperation pay, everything is so great being married
I do love my wife so that's honestly the best part
Give it time, the way I met my wife was stupidly unpredictable!!
"enlistment bonus and the nearest off post Camero dealer"
well I drive a kia forte so sorry
It's a financial problem not a woman's problem
what you mean brotha
Shepherd's pie and Sam Adams calling my name lol
I'm still studying I don't work yet
What branch and mos? 😄
Haven't gotten up in the past six hours but I'm gonna have to now 😂
air force lol
4n0 (medic)
oh, yes afsc i think
so you got a girly?
Broke up about 5 hours ago 
I know a girl who says she did half the Air Force
I think getting married is really an up to you thing
It's not expensive, you don't have to have a wedding, none of the standard is required
If it's right it's right
@nocturne nova
Yeah make sure it's right the first time. I got it right the third time
@gusty inlet check this thread out, is this what's allowed now?
Why is it against the rules?
I didn't know
I'm sorry it won't happen again
sorry brotha
things happen
lots of people out there
literally got dumped & left for nothing by my fiance a couple months before i left for the military!
now im married to a different lady lololol
noooo joke lololololol
who has done Gandalf?
survivors benefits are nice too..... hahaha
@rapid merlin if you want i can totally give u the story about how i met my wife & how we even got married lolol, it's stupidly coincidental
When I get married I'll invite you to be the that important man or whatever it's called
get that regardless!
it was just going to someone else before hand
what a guy
oh boy
No it's not about her it's just yk it's a new thing and yk I have time to move on and besides that I'm 6'3 muscular with above average look and getting girls was never the problem but yk it's just 2 years just gone like we never were anything
2 years gone is better than 3 gone
bettter than 20 gone
be thankful that is the system working
it's a feature not a bug 😄
#FailFast
(still sorry though)
Yk I swear this have hit me hard you're spittin facts
You're cool toaster I would literally die for you istg
ummm, chances are, you're move valuable not dead, so let's just work on that eh

i need more of this in my life
He has PhD he always knows what to say
I feel so much better now istg
that's great glad to hear brotha
Brothers wtf is wrong with these thm AttackBox or am I the only one getting frustrated!!
What seems to be the problem young gentleman
All of it Brother I mean one time 2 time 3 time but if it does again and again seriously its really frustrating!!
I can understand that
What are you working on
Already scripting is getting my brain crazy plus these I am so Done Literally gotta take a break !!
hello everyone im alexx im interesting in starting a cybersecurity career, mainly pentesting as a 17 year old fresh out of highschool, i was curios on what to look out and how to take notes and all those, i have a decent knowlegde on linux commands,networks,nmap, and some basic exploits i was wondering if u guys have any recommendations or any advice
Nah just warm water I have already drunk 6 cubs of americano so not a healthy idea plus i am not sleeping more than 2 hour for quite few days!!
Welcome. Check out #start-here
Well that your problem right there, you're hotboxing your mind
Aka pushing yourself too much
I guess!!
thank youu
Can somebody help me with openvpn issue?
Go relax, watch some TV, take a nap, refresh yourself.
Thanks brother i will!!
Gave +1 Rep to @oblique loom (current: #373 - 21)
I am unable to connect to the openvpn
Usually we do after downloading the file
Sudo openvpn file.ovpn
And connects
But mine doesn’t
Just shows the configuration screen
What about programming
where can i find a static standalone copy of nmap
Do THM, very fun & worth
But dont give up, don't let someone tell you to quit, & the subscription definitely worth it
still learning it but i keep forgetting some of the stuff
i wont for sure i love this way too much to give upp
You need practice
Programming is a core skill that you need to learn
Could anyone potentially help me to figure out what exactly I need to do to get virtual box or whatever to work on a Macbook
(noob of me ik) but my windows laptop is uhhh really good but also pretty boken lmao, always having problems & Virtual Box using (trigger warning) ||Kali|| is just absolutely not working for me (||and sorry guys im in love with kali linux it's so fun||)
i tried doing it thm but i can only do 3 rooms a day sadly but ill definetely keep that as my high focus rn and learning python
that's what I said when I was your age
then I became a party promoter in college lost my scholarships (not bc of my own actions) did horrible & had to join military lmao
Best of luck brotha, you going to college?
woohooo passed level 7 of gandalf
Learn programming and then hop on thm
certified python hater right here 😜
whats that?
lollllll
Yeah
im starting college next year so i wanted to have a head start since ill be pursuing a cybersecurity degree
Looks so fun I'll try it out tommy
it is fun
ima search for a yt channel that teaches it well
please do me a favor & make friends! get involved always worth it, dont be boring & go out and stuff too lol
but fair warning
you're going to meet people in your degree program that have NO idea what HTTPS even stands for lololol
i took Java class & never showed up lolol
hello
in college or in general? cs im terrible at making friends
helloo
In general
But especially college
Drink, party, have fun. They’re crucial skills in cybersecurity I’m finding so far
in general!!
but mainly college lol
i had a hard time but get a good roommate & just go sit at random ppl's tables at the dining hall lol you'll meet someone!
i made so many close friends who i dearly love even tho it was scary lolololol
drinking & capturing a flag is the best
WOOOOOOOOO HOW ABOUT A SHOT FOR THAT
i dont drink man o.o
Okay well Party, have fun
supp
🙂 thats gonna be hard but ill definetely dry
im good hruuu
i have never been to party much less drink
I'm good, I'm joined thm a few days ago, since I want to pursue cyber sec
Reading this makes me wanna cry in disappointment
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/contractors-with-hacking-records-accused-of-wiping-96-govt-databases/
i didn't either don't worry
oh where'd u go
UK
Good thing for backups, people are dumb
I feel like this is pretty standard for gov contractors tbh
every couple years theres a story like this
Who is Edward Snowden
Yeah, he really loved that cube

what programming language should i learn first?
like lua or py
whats lua lol
honestly, do the THM paths, don't be someone that spends more time typing in discord than a command prompt
but pretty easy
There are alot of people on here that equate time in discord with learning and that isn't really the case.
Use Obsidian take notes
You should be here, because you like security, not because you like the idea of quick/easy job.... because boy do I have some news for you
its harder to do the paths when ur not premium, like me T_T
Yeah, THM is a business not a charity 🙁
aha
(I don't work for THM or have any pecuniary interest in them)
But really, honestly
There is so much you can do here for free
and if there is soemthing you don't think you can do, write it down, get on ChatGPT and find some youtube videos
Thats true
I could not find an article, please try again.
there is a thing called the freepath
look into that
But yeah, engage brain to save money
paths are paths, you're allowed to walk off of them (and you should)
aside from thm theres a lot of info on internet, i think a person needs dedication, motivation and discipline to learn
learn your learning style
thats what im trying to discover
thats good to know im doing the samee
i noticed cs even tho i started a like 2 months ago i havent solve any any labs or done any ctf as yet
CTFs are more puzzles than testing your real world skills
CS = cybersec or Comp Sci?
thanks man ill definetely try that and i would consider my learning style to be actively doing a lab instead of reading and theory
Gave +1 Rep to @cosmic pendant (current: #41 - 270)
cybersec
it isn't entry freindly
you need so much knowledge from other things
Networking
networking
Networking
Computing
You have to build up
what ima do now is start over scratch with a full baseline of everything and build up
let me ask you a key question to gauge something
and minimize the sources that i use
sure
Can you explain to me right now, the difference between routing and switching?
routing would be like directing one data packet to another
hmmm
(i'm waiting for the switching part)
and switching is transfering packets from one device to another if i remeber clearly
that's close
is the first one correct?
that's a better answer I get than most
did you try quick-shell
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
ohhhhhhh i see i see now
So I have decided, I'm not making anymore walkthroughs. Y'all wanna learn a room figure it out yourselves. Lol
I'll write my articles same way I make music or how I use to draw.
Creativity
honestly a lot of stuff doesn't make sense until you do it, or see it in action
what ill try to do now is try remember then in more simpler terms like that cs its kinda hard to remeber them clearly
this is what im thinking reading all this
obsidian
notes
does anyone have any idea how many protocols you're using right now to talk here?
no
17
thats i try to do instead of all the reading
ARP,DNS,IP/TCP,SSL/TLS,RTP
no
there's probably more than that even
17 is a very specific number
@tired peak How goes you! you had a move eh?
?
not recently 🙂 I'm good, how you?
Good good
is this one of the AI rooms?
theres more arent there?
protocols in general or in use?
oh, I'd probably reload then
in general
finally made yubikey to work with git 🙂
well you probably also need ntp and dhcp
hi guyss
1000s of protocols
oh yeah, DHCP to get an ip and yeah NTP so SSL/TLS works
requires time synch within a few mins
oh damn
ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk -O resident -O verify-required -O application=ssh:gitHub -f ~/.ssh/git-1 ...
hi
OH i love resident keys
Learn the OSI model inside and out
mmmmmm leverl 1
i will since i havent gotten the full hang of it
i love physical layer
This is very good
abstraction is used everywhere in computers
now leearn how to make website in assembly
I'm more of a network layer guy
I made a Turing complete computer from just not, and, or gates a couple years ago
Don’t think I could do it anymore
whats abstraction?
oh boy
how? minecraft
Had some app that let you place them down and wire them up

o.o
A lot
will i solve it without completing any of the PT learning path completed.....who knows woooooo let's find out tonight on
WILL HE HACK THAAAAAAAAAT?
claps intensify, babies thrown on stage, ladies fainting
You could merge them into components to save space
Like I built a 8 bit register from it , but then didn’t have to keep repeating the small bits to do it again
goood luck mannn
good luck
good luck bro
oh gotcha
Cool
I built my own instruction set architecture one time my own assembler
plz tell me u haven't solved it 🥹

I might buy premium for Christmas. Does the OVPN file work w/ normal internet?
what do you mean by normal internet?
Discord
no, it only routes the traffiic through vpn when you're accessing a machine
oh. not quite. when you use the vpn your internet access will be restricted (i think)
if you're talking about tryhackme's vpn no
your normal internet traffic is routed normally
traffic to tryhackme machines are routed through the vpn
that's it
oh i gotcha
thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @queen flare (current: #153 - 63)
Discord is going to include a free VPN yearly
show me your source
May I DM
ok
if its free what makes it yearly?
Through Cloudflare
ok it seems legit but its only for nitro subscribers @sturdy sequoia @rapid merlin
Vpn by discord
he sent me link to a server called "discord previews"
its large, and quick googling says its run by discord
that's where this is from
so it might be legit news
evade bans with discord nitro
with discord nitro, now you can ban the owner of a server

me neither
why not trust companies with ur data its very safe
mmfghmm~~
discord has never had a data breach
yes they have
@hushed carbon
nope lies
U forgot to add ur cursed emoji
Ya





their support tickets were hacked and leaked
discord made an email about it
yes
nope all lies never happened
ok now make daily cheese of the day updates from now
My cheese is yellow
sup boi
i need some help
Wat
Shoot
dont we all
Ah
ive been documenting my struggle here
i intalled python but when i type it on my wind terminal it is not showing anythng
Did u add it to path
idk i wanna share the screenshot here but why cant i share image here
Verify to send
Then i would take that as no
I suggest, u use a yt video if u don't know wat u doing
ok
lol make sure your Python stuff is actually in your $PATH, and considering that Wind Terminal seems to be pretty ssh focused, that you're actually just using your local terminal instead
first time I've ever heard of that term I will say lol
well well well
hm?
Also lol, do ask here first before trying to friend request and take things into DMs please
zero reason this conversation needs to happen in a DM
ok
ello eliz
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
Congratulations
woohoo.. i bought yubikey 🙂
Thanks! Yeah I'm quite excited to have more space. And nice!
so more retro space things
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
i also found that friend have un-opened commodore64. and i rly wish that to be true lol
damn if so that's actually quite valuable complete in box and such
as other friend says. he get it and never openned
yea. i need run to him with first chance
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
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.
heh we're going on 1.8K Blu-rays and DVDs, totally fair
sweet
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
awesome good stuff
then i frack smth up and was unable to login... 🙂
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
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
well yeah that's much less fo a big deal thankfully, but yeah always good to have backups
um what you were using LUKS1?
up so far. as default arch. iirc is like from two release ago that they add luks2
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
lol sounds like you're doing archinstall instead of setting this up yourself
i do yea hehee
i made all but i create user_configuration file to speed up things heh
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
it failed for me when i was using LVM with LUKS
imho that's an unnessessary pain
yea
I'm just doing raw LUKS2 with no LVM
now i changed things to not LVM. and set timeshift
Honestly I don't need snapshots and such, but yeah to each their own
btrfs ofc
just ext4 for me, I don't have a lot of trust in btrfs
i also do not need. but it kida is ok in Oh Crap sittuation
that's fair, but I'm usually smart enough to make config backups before I mess something up dramatically lol
oh. btrfs is ok. the snapshots gets fast back. it even add option to rollback on grub screen
Arch typically doesn't just break, it's the user who does the breaking lol.
if you can't get in. so to say
totally fair just imho overkill for my needs and I've heard horror stories
yep fair enough
my backups used to be on point but ive gotten lazy lately, haha
i jsut set rsync and pigz and it works like charm
whats pigz?
multyprocess compression
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
interesting
been using the same .zshrc, .tmux.conf, .vimrc and etc for decades now lol
basic it "zip" faster
whats nbd?
no big deal
oh lol! my bad
no worries!
i also like my .dotfiles 🙂
yeah I back up my cava as well indeed, don't feel any need to customize my fastfetch to that extent though
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
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
hey, i saw that earlier. thats pretty slick man
i just do general backup. and wrote bash script for all backups and all the things. also for restore
nice. yeah, rsync is great
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
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
lol you think that's a lot, one sec
oh dear... eliz have lots mem
My home lab server running Proxmox:
also that HDD space is just for Proxmox OS wise, it's actually a 64TB RAID
what in the fresh turkey you running on that lol
bunch of stuff, but media encoding and media servers are a decent bulk of it atm.
nice!!
thanks! It's a PowerEdge T430
my prox is old t450 lenovo
wait, do u have attached storage? i only see 100 gb storage.
I mentioned that right here
48TB in the NAS and 64TB in the server
lol holy smokes
we need it lol
thats super awesome
lol let me do the filesize calc on our VIdeos folder on the NAS alone
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
yeah that accounts for 1,800+ movies and 200+ TV shows we've all ripped ourselves
my SO and myself
nice
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
why i lose streak
holf f, is that for personal entertainment or business of some kind
all personal
See
nice. yeah i want a mini pc nuc to run debian with kvm for homelab but will probably wait until after ram apocalypse if that even passes. i might have to bite the bullet sooner though
You may want to contact support@tryhackme.com regarding this, they can restore streaks if you feel this was in error
probably your time zone. contact support about it. they can probably help
Proxmox is Debian with kvm check it out
there's a messaging feature in the website too, from where u can open a support ticket
it's the Linux equivalent to VMware ESXi/vSphere basically
i mostly use that since i'm lazy to write an email
yeah, makes sense. i didnt realize proxmox was debian. thats really cool
and i get usb ssd pen drive...
nice. i dont know storage specs well but 1 gb/s read write seems really good
Yeah it's neat, I don't want to expand this and show all of my VMs but it has this kinda web UI and much more
ideally though you'd have multiple servers and you can cluster them
is usb pen drive. but ssd memory
dear lord
yeah, ive heard of proxmox. i just want to be ultra crusty and do manual kvm/qemu/libvirt configs for everything lol
is stand alone virtual manager and so more
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
this one
makes sense. thats why i'll just run debian
proxmox is probably way easier though
and has other features too
like the visualizations
it's basically Linux equivalent of VMware vSphere, plus they just introduced Proxmox Datacenter which is basically VMware Cloud Foundations for managing multiple Proxmox clusters
yea
to be clear this is only virtualization, no qemu emulation.
aka of other architectures
I do have a good bit of experience with that as well
=/
alright, u guys got me all fired up. gonna boot my laptop lol. will share. one sec
Okey
they dont even give restore chance
oh, weird. they used to.
messy proxmox and other craps lol
nice!!!
It had to be a Linux user, hahaha.
what else heh
not messy at all! i like the port labels!
but i have spare windows laptop for some app's that can't run on linux
Neat
Who wouldn't be a linux main here before long lol
I am curious why you did it this way vs QCOW2s though
It this some movie

Damn that's cool
idk... i'm not using it so much. just for thing or two and backup
just odd, I much prefer my VMs to use virtual disk images
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
Good stuff, generally although lack of padding on your taskbar bugs me lol
looks like XFCE
haha, yeah, i should probably fine tune it, but it works for me. i have very low standards for GUI, lol. yeah, XFCE
X11
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
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
Pretty rare I need to do so, but worked for streamign Dolphin Emulator just fine for me at least
that's cool.
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
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
My setup is really nothing special. I used to go all out on ricing but I'm getting to old for that lol
oh proxmos support yubikey/totp and so 🙂
nice. that sounds nifty! i need to buy some hardware tokens again. i used to use an OnlyKey, but might switch to Yubikey. We'll see.
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.
it works 🙂
that for your computer lock screen?
That's for Proxmox login
ah, gotcha
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
yea. from device it self yea
mhmm
i didn't play that much in proxmox. not like some ppl here, i don't have half of internet at my home hosted 🙂
Elizabeth is the reason cloudflare went down. she was downloading the internet to her homelab server.
lol jk
just call it Twitter like a sane person :p
LOL
yeah, makes sense
had to double check with our dev team since I couldn't remember, but nah they use Angular not React lol
nice, that's a relief, i'm sure lol
LOL
I'm at a MSP not a software org
for sure. i also work for a small company
yep same same
yes quite literally
I am the entire infosec department, SOC manager and all, compliance manager, Windows sysadmin, Linux sysadmin, etc etc
LOL, for sure. the struggle is real lol
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
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
lol
i need to stop buy humblebundle books, and start to read them... for a change =/
for vendors who are so into physical security, their software and supply chain security is awful
yeah, the struggle is real. same for me and no starch books lol
haha yeah I've bought at least one No Statch Press bundle for such
this shit need to stop =/
lol also yeah your choice of UI font is... interesting I'll just say lol. To each their own
Monofur Nerd Font
I used to use freaking Geometric San Serif fonts as my UI fonts in the 00s so I get it
lol. i can only imagine haha
lol I still have those screenshots somewhere
nice. i stick with liberation sans/mono on my current setup
works well
zero and O are different, lol. key metric there lol
my thunar =/ and i love my fonts...
thunar is my jam
what distro is that?
in hyprland i use matugen for colors configuration. so every new wallpaper = new colors
so ahve lot's collored thunar heh
ohhhh, does that use the wallpaper colors to theme your apps?
or, window manager
That was back on Arch, I've been using Arch since 2008, proof here on my poor copy of the original 1600x1200 screenshot from Oct 4th, 2008
colors are generated from wallpaper picture. so when i change pic it update theme based on it and update all globaly
this is now obsidian
Both of these are Openbox setups
linux 2.6!!!! nice haha that's wild
yep lol
also that was not neofetch, that was archfetch.sh lol
predated the concept
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
lol totally fair, qubes is a bit of a meme
yeah, it was cool, but just a bit much. since i want to easily spin up virtualized networking and VMs, it was just too inefficient. since it's a type 1 hypervisor, you can't run vbox, etc. since you're already virtualizing
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
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
