[quartz drum]

i was born
I got a real birth certificate
To enter school we made a fake birth certificate that increased my age by upto 3 months that means my official birthday that is recognised by institutions is in march but my real birthday on which i was born is in june
This fast forwarded my admission into school or else i would need to wait for a whole year

[quartz drum]

Happy birthday:)

[digital saffron]

It's more comun than you think

[quartz drum]

Yea its more common than anyone thinks

[timid orbit]

Ok, but WHY admit that in a public Discord server??

😭

[quartz drum]

If i want i can start using my real birth certificate but then i will have to get it changed on every piece of document that will take years

Cuz the govt is slow and corrupt

[digital saffron]

If no one snitch his good

Nah actually it was Fortran

And then Pascal

And then C

[digital saffron]

[timid orbit]

C++ is holding stronger than C could ever have hoped

I dunno, the Russians didnt go to space first because of C

[digital saffron]

That is true.

[languid aurora]

C with classes

That was its earliest name

Where C incremented, C++ excremented

With C it like shooting your leg with military prisision

[quaint ferry]

with my abundance of free time il rise up the ranks after i finish my cert or get a job

[dark wolf]

Nice!!!

[delicate edge]

Like who is gonna send an it officer in the frontlines

[alpine dune]

Damn you must be really valuable

[wild rose]

It's possible, but I also worked for a defense contractor at the time and they had me on call 24/7.

[half relic]

Gross

[quaint ferry]

im gonna go now finish my movie or do 3d laters everyone lovey'all

[sand owl]

(๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

[hard ravine]

what movie ?

[alpine dune]

Good luck mr root

[dark wolf]

on rotation or permantley on call?

[quaint ferry]

watching hackers for the first time since childhood

[silver sky]

When the computer breaks in the TOC, you'll need to go 😂

[hard ravine]

1995 ?

[sand owl]

W movie

[half relic]

I dont feel so bad about my job. It's not great pay but it's remote and I'm never on call and there is no mandatory overtime

[wild rose]

It was draining, but I moved over to night shift working the APAC region, so I started to careless about the job and more about the money.

[quaint ferry]

yes the old one

[echo sentinel]

Maybe an NCO could do it...

[half relic]

If I dont finish something before the weekend someone else does it while I'm gone

[hard ravine]

most armys got designated engineers in frontlines anyway LOL ,

[delicate edge]

Ill use a laptop

[silver sky]

Nah mate 😂 they are too busy eating crayons

[hard ravine]

NCO is not equivalent of an Engineer

[alpine dune]

May I ask what do you do?

[wild rose]

Then I changed companies and I've been happy ever since doing both cyber and cloud architect.

[half relic]

Support for a web host

[delicate edge]

A job

[echo sentinel]

We're talking overall, not just marines

[half relic]

Its customer facing but I like helping people

[echo sentinel]

The talk was about an Officer and not engineer

[silver sky]

All NCOs eat crayons after they finish writing their reports in crayon

[wild rose]

constantly on call.

[alpine dune]

Too young for this

[half relic]

And most of the customers are somewhat tech aware

[delicate edge]

How old are you

[echo sentinel]

They say red is the best one

[half relic]

Its not like end users

[alpine dune]

19

[half relic]

End users can be frustrating

[delicate edge]

You are the perfect age for work

Ive seen 16yo work

[half relic]

You have to be very patient

[delicate edge]

In rare cases ive seen 15yo work with parents consent

[silver sky]

I hear green is good too apple flavoured

[alpine dune]

Not when everyone requires 5+ years of experience

Its tough out here

[half relic]

And explain things like copy and paste without making them feel stupid lol

Glad I dont do that any more

[echo sentinel]

I will keep that in mind

[hard ravine]

Unless the officer is from a technical department it doestn matter either
You will sent people who knows actually what they are doing , in UK we got the Signal Reggiment which are in charge of comms and intel

[alpine dune]

How did you get in web support?

[silver sky]

I hear at least, I've never tried it

[half relic]

I just saw a posting on indeed and applied

[wild rose]

Yeah well don't expect to land your dream security role off the break. You got to put in that Sweat Equity to even be considered for an entry level soc position.

[cosmic pendant]

They are Warrants eh?

[echo sentinel]

Cool, my X home page turned from russian propaganda and right-wing delusions, to Kpop and both sides of political conflict

Lovely

[hard ravine]

??What warrants ? is it a rank in american army or something ?

[echo sentinel]

I think he means Warrant officers

[alpine dune]

It’s just about the first step and it is the most frustrating

[cosmic pendant]

warrant officers

[alpine dune]

I still didn’t make it but im already frustrated lil

[cosmic pendant]

they are thing inthe UK too..

[hard ravine]

yeah its an NCO ^^ still , whats the point sorry ?

[wild rose]

yup just got to take that plunge into the unknown world of IT support and build from there.

[silver sky]

Say Slava Ukraini three times and Zelensky will appear to remove the russian propaganda

[half relic]

Places like cloud Linux hire people from all over the world full remote

[echo sentinel]

Said it like 50 times and it worked then lolz

[hard ravine]

bro its not the HUB , DKOB is watching . . .

[half relic]

Its support but the customers are web host employees

[cosmic pendant]

That's where yuor experts are

[half relic]

So not end users

[alpine dune]

I’ve actually considered cloud security but I figured that I can’t start there

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/f16-combattree-arcada-combattree-arcada-peremoga-gif-10361372223140110539

[cosmic pendant]

so for Medical, Signal.... depending exactly on teh context..

[hard ravine]

i dont recon you will be sending NCO's in the front line to fix PCs. . .
as @silver sky said they are good for eating cryons , and train rookies (maybe)

[silver sky]

Depends on the army 😂

[hard ravine]

well lets say UK , they aint deploying NCOs in the frontline

[wild rose]

You could if you want to focus on specific cloud provider. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is simple to get, but the real cert is to get is the AWS SysOPs Admin.

[timid orbit]

no NCOs is a recipe for disaster

[wild rose]

Azure has there own security certs for their cloud and SIEM.

[silver sky]

Well they will, actual officers not so much

[half relic]

A lot of people who started in support at my company ended up being a network admin or something too

Or developer

Not sure how many people went to security

[cosmic pendant]

Some of your medics are NCOS

[hard ravine]

UK doesnt deploy Regsigs in frontline unless its absolutely necessary , and whenever is deployed they are embeded with other forces

[half relic]

But I dont think working up from a support role is impossible

[hard ravine]

talking about Tech not medics

[cosmic pendant]

Yeah, like Medics

Still Warrants, still NCOs

[silver sky]

I think your confusing Non Commissioned Officers and Officers.

NCOs will as they tend to be leading squads/fireteams

[hard ravine]

I am not , what i am saying is you will not have Regsig NCO leading an entire platoon of regsig in frontline , i am aware of the british rankings

[delicate edge]

Well ye, who is dumb enough to deploy Technical Officers on the battlefield

[silver sky]

Well I'm sorry to break it to you, but technology exists in the battlefield and someone has to fix it

[wild rose]

I know a guy was a civil engineer, who ended up waiting tables, but had an in at Visa, credit card company. He worked as customer support. He got his Net+ and ITIL (I'm not sure if he got A+). Now he's a network associate there making almost double than what he was doing as a civil engineer.

[hard ravine]

Royal signal said : "Say what ? "

[timid orbit]

i keep forgetting ITIL is a cert. every time i see it i get confused

[hard ravine]

whats ITIL ?

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/we-are-rolling-gi-joe-a-real-american-hero-captives-of-cobra-army-advice-gif-17523537

[wild rose]

I don't see ITIL as often as I used to on job descriptions .

[timid orbit]

i can't even remember

[cosmic pendant]

@hard ravine Doesn't your WOs do EWAR?

you muppet

[hard ravine]

I wanted to join the signals , but both my shoulders has been dislocated so probably not eligible

[wild rose]

ITIL = Information Technology Infrastructure Library Foundations cert.

[hard ravine]

nobody calles WOs , just say NCO 💀

[half relic]

I tried to join the navy but they wouldn't let me

But now I'm glad i didn

[timid orbit]

Just because you can't find a WO doesn't mean they aren't there

[cosmic pendant]

THEY ARE DIFFERNT

muppet

[silver sky]

I have joined two armies so there ya go 😂

[silver sky]

They are different

[hard ravine]

You are right , i had too look it up , thats a weird position to be , not NCO but not commissioned , interesting

[half relic]

I wanted to retire at 40

[hard ravine]

i guess you learn something new everyday

[half relic]

I would have done nothing but navy stuff until I retired though

No life

[hard ravine]

Btw just to put it out there your insult isn't appreciated

[silver sky]

Muppet

[hard ravine]

brah , you supposed to be defending me

[silver sky]

I mean, you did fuck that up

[cosmic pendant]

Ooof, someone got schooled not knowing abouw WOs and talking shit about NComs

like wtf

[half relic]

I couldn't stand working for the government anyway

[cosmic pendant]

YOu should loke WOs in teh US

apache pilots hahaha

[half relic]

I dont always agree withthem

[hard ravine]

i memorised only the commistioned officers so i thought everything outside those were NCOs . i know i fucked it up , my bad

[silver sky]

This is exactly what someone who "almost joined" would say

[half relic]

Why do you say yhat

There were some people who served who al.ost had me convinced it was a good idea

I went to a recruiter

[silver sky]

I hear it all the time "I almost joined but ya know I'd punch anyone who shouted at me" etc

[half relic]

Ah

It wasn't that

[silver sky]

I know

But it's a rolling military joke

[timid orbit]

that's not really a reason to not join 😛

[half relic]

I dont know

[timid orbit]

you can just say you didn't want to. 8y is a long time

[half relic]

What if they have me helping invade some country i think they should stay out of

[hard ravine]

dont recall chatting shit about NCOs

[silver sky]

Here's a hat just for you!

[cosmic pendant]

hahahahahah

[half relic]

What if I discover some huge program that spies on citizens and I can't tell anyone

[echo sentinel]

Idk why, but yapping about the military makes me want to join it fr

[hard ravine]

cryon comment doesnt count

[half relic]

I don't think I would like being in that position

[echo sentinel]

You either keep it to yourself or do smth like Snowden

[half relic]

Thats who I was thinking of

[timid orbit]

do it. 8 years isn't that long 🙂

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-reverse-mw-cod-gif-15517702389221529206

[hallow stag]

it happens

[hard ravine]

isnt it 4 years ?

[digital saffron]

If they dont get you into a contract for more years

[echo sentinel]

The thing is, I have one place in polish (a.ka my local) military I think I'd suit. From what I know the most probable way to get there is to be an officer, which puts me in there for at least 15 years (5 years of college + 10 years of service)

[hard ravine]

the standard initial is 4 in UK💀 , and they renew after if i am not mistaken

[dark wolf]

you can change it to 120 years if you hack it

[timid orbit]

officer would be cool

[half relic]

Change the value with burp lol

[timid orbit]

Where'd Toast go?

[hard ravine]

I need to get the Burp cert now that i think about it

[echo sentinel]

Yup, it'd be really cool - just some ppl in my life are not as much for this decison as I am lol

[hard ravine]

He is angry with me so he went out for a walk to cooldown

[timid orbit]

u make ur own decisions bud

[sand crypt]

I've issue when connecting openVpn on windows, want assistance of THM team...

i've already created ticket on site.

[honest dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-hacking-hacker-cat-gif-5423768830271062600

[half relic]

We are not employees in here.

[echo sentinel]

Ik ik - still I have a couple of months left for a decision

[echo sentinel]

Then wait till they respond or explain the issue to us

[wild rose]

you don't connect on windows. You connect using a kali VM and openVPN.

[silver sky]

Minimum is 4 years. The contract is actually indefinite until terminated

[echo sentinel]

You can connect with windows

You just need openvpn

[half relic]

You probably can but would you?

[echo sentinel]

It's not effective, but you can do it

[hard ravine]

you just need to make sure to fuck off after 4 , i guess then

[wild rose]

It's not the same. Best to use a kali vm and connect from there.

[silver sky]

Well you can terminate it at any time after 4 years.

So you can do 7/20/30 years

[echo sentinel]

You can also use Parrot or other OSes

[sand crypt]

can i upload screenshot of error here?

[half relic]

Thats true

[echo sentinel]

You'd need to verify

[wild rose]

if you want to build it out yourself, or save your time and just use kali.

[silver sky]

I had my contract with the Irish army terminated early due to an injury and then additionally they made cuts

[hard ravine]

still not joining , i know someone who didnt even pass the medical check because when he was 7 he broke his hand . . . i am definitely not passing the medical check either lol

[half relic]

Im using kali cause all the tools were already installed

Everything for thr rooms i did so far anyway

[timid orbit]

parrot is pretty cool too that's what htb's vm uses

[silver sky]

Tbf the requirements and list of exclusions have got less and less now.

I'd probably be fucking eligible for service 😂

[half relic]

I noticed that

I created an account but didnt use it yet

[timid orbit]

i dont really like kali for some reason

parrot feels nicer

[half relic]

I dont like the tab completion

Im used to bash too

[timid orbit]

... you can use bash

[half relic]

But that's what I've been using so far t

[hard ravine]

nhe , i might try to Join GCHQ or go join BAE Systems (i know people at BAE on f35 line up lol)

[echo sentinel]

zsh is default for kali

[half relic]

I know but I didnt change anything yet

[echo sentinel]

So you were probs using that

[half relic]

Yeah

[timid orbit]

i actually like zsh but you can use chsh to change it

just man chsh so you can see how to use it

[echo sentinel]

zsh is amazing

[timid orbit]

yeah fr

[half relic]

I've changed it before I've just been lazy lately lol

Its been a long time though

Im just used to bash

[timid orbit]

you can also just type in bash or bash -i anytime you open a shell...

[half relic]

I dont like how it uses more lines of text and tab completion immediately shows you every option

[river condor]

bagh hi everyone

[half relic]

I like it compact

But I just haven't changed it yet

[timid orbit]

i mean you can disable that in zsh config too

[river condor]

im about to finish my custom OS at 200k LoC wish me luck

@timid orbit , please help me, can't connect openvpn

[hard ravine]

adios mate

[timid orbit]

can't help you there, not a mod or staff 😉

that's beyond my pay grade... of $0

[silver sky]

Linux or windows?

[sand crypt]

i'm on windows

[silver sky]

That's your issue

[half relic]

Virtual box is free and its easy to create vms

[silver sky]

I ain't watching all that 😂 I've seen the show

[sand crypt]

i downloaded credentials from /access, and imported it. but can't connect\

[quaint ferry]

wait where did he try to install openvpn the cmd ?

[boreal scarab]

Why arent you on it?!

Too wide to fit into frame?

[sand crypt]

i downloaded from official site and installed

[quaint ferry]

you need a linux virtual machine and hypervisor first

[silver sky]

I am gonna be on police interceptors 😂 and I've been on TV before.

[half relic]

Its gonna be hard to use windows

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/showme-show-me-morpheus-gif-5144220

[half relic]

Not impossible I'm sure

Lol

[silver sky]

Let me find it

[boreal scarab]

[quaint ferry]

@sand crypt you need these first boi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzD8JIAOk2I

[timid orbit]

Metasploit Framework IS available on WIndows

[quaint ferry]

this thumbnail tho i cant 🤣

[half relic]

That's true

[timid orbit]

Also for binary exploitation / RE windows genuinely has better software than Linux does

[quaint ferry]

some linux tools work in windows but not vice versa

[sand crypt]

so, do you mean it's hard to connect on windows?

[half relic]

Interesting

[silver sky]

Can't find it on YouTube 😂

[half relic]

Like ida debug

[quaint ferry]

bro you need a virtual machine and linux first then install openvpn inside kali

[half relic]

Is that what you mean

[timid orbit]

i think IDA is xplat. No, but CheatEngine, Reclass, x64WinDbg, VisualStudio (Debugger), etc.

[sand crypt]

only kali? ubuntu impossible?

[quaint ferry]

kali come with tools preinstalled

you wont struggle with them

you can install manually in ubuntu

[timid orbit]

At one point I was able to manually map a DLL and it still hit breakpoints during development process so I could debug my game cheat lol

[half relic]

Thats how long its been since I tried to use it lol

[silver sky]

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11231762/ @boreal scarab

it's not me who needs help it's kumar

thnakstho

[silver sky]

Unfortunately my company never signed the release forms (my boss didn't want us taking part)

[timid orbit]

just ask him for his number so you can facetime him alr 🙄

[half relic]

There is wsl but I didnt like it

[quaint ferry]

wsl good

works in cmd

[boreal scarab]

So technically not on TV

[half relic]

I had a weird problem I never figured out where certain one liners didnt work

[boreal scarab]

His fatass cant fit on facetime

[silver sky]

I mean, I was literally on TV and I was also in B-Roll at a distance

[half relic]

The first few characters of output on every line would get cut off

[boreal scarab]

[half relic]

Same one liners worked fine on linux

I was using the Ubuntu wsl

It was weird

I ended up just getting rid of windows

[timid orbit]

best decision

i still have my arch dual-boot ready for whenever i get a good living space set up again

[long lotus]

Linux Mint is the best for all things

[half relic]

I almost installed mint

[timid orbit]

mint is good but ubuntu makes life so hard in some cases

[half relic]

But i know Ubuntu works

[timid orbit]

mint is ubuntu

[half relic]

I know but I know regular Ubuntu works

[timid orbit]

mint in my experience has always worked better

[half relic]

What's better

[timid orbit]

it's more stable and drivers are slightly more up to date

[half relic]

Cool

I didn't do much research

[timid orbit]

also it's cinnamon which is goated

gnome is very mid when not customized

[hard ravine]

both ubuntu and mint are just reskinned Debian ...

[long lotus]

In reality, Linux Mint is not Ubuntubut rather based on it. It uses Ubuntu's packages and structure, but has its ownidentity: its own interface (like Cinnamon), exclusive tools, and an independent development team. In other words, you could say that Mint is "a modified Ubuntu more focused on ease of use" but technically they are different distributions. ☕

[half relic]

I should install arch in a vm and see if I wanna use that instead

[timid orbit]

i very much disagree

[half relic]

I keep thinking about it

[timid orbit]

mint is to ubuntu as manjaro is to arch.

[half relic]

I just thought there might be more maintenance

I dont mind installing it I just dont want to spend a lot of time maintaining it forever

[timid orbit]

it's hit or miss. i've had times package updates have bricked my sys but that was like 6y ago

just use archinstall and pacman -Syu every couple weeks

and Flatpak prevents issues with packages where possible

[half relic]

Good to know. Do you happen to use steam?

[timid orbit]

Yes

Definitely a better gaming exp with more up to date drivers on Arch, but doesn't change that ACs aren't always supported on Linux

[half relic]

I knew Ubuntu had no problem with steam so that's another reason I used it

[timid orbit]

SteamOS is built on Arch... lmao

[half relic]

I might switch to arch

I didn't know that

[timid orbit]

your choice. i like it, but i'd check out mint first if you are still somewhat new to linux

if you are okay without guarantees, then arch is the golden child imo

[half relic]

I used to use arch

My first Linux os was gentoo cause I didnt know it was so impractical lol

That was a long time ago though

And I had some problem that made me switxh

I think arch was the one where I had to flush memory every time before I unplugged my USB lol

I had to switch back to windows for specific software I needed for school though later

[timid orbit]

valve supporting steamos has actually directly led to a lot of improvements

for arch specifically

[half relic]

You are convincing me to try it again

I just got a new laptop so there aren't many files on it yet

It wouldn't be hard to format it and start over

[timid orbit]

just jot this down if you consider it:

• use archinstall script
• use pipewire instead of pulseaudio
• if you use wayland, install xwayland, otherwise xorg is more supported
• proprietary drivers are still better than open / open-dkms drivers

[half relic]

Thanks!

Thats the kind of thing I wouldn't easily know

[half relic]

Thanks so you get credit

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @timid orbit (current: #395 - 21)

[timid orbit]

lol 👍

[half relic]

I wish I could use my window license for a vm in case I want to test something on windows since I am just formatting it

[timid orbit]

just install it without a license

it won't lock you out

[half relic]

Like an evaluation?

[timid orbit]

yeah windows acts like winrar now

[half relic]

I thought it would

Ah lol

[timid orbit]

it'll just tell you activate windows in the bottom right and disable access to some settings like personalization

[half relic]

I didnt know that either and I work with windows servers lol, but I wouldn't suggest that to a customer anyway

Would probably break outer partner agreement

Our

[timid orbit]

it actually opens companies up for lawsuits

not really individuals

which is why sublime, winrar, and windows all do this

[half relic]

You should be able to use one for testing on your personal pc imo

[timid orbit]

that's a hotly debated topic - esp as microsoft pushes to enforce a microsoft account on all installations of w11

[half relic]

Yeah that's another thing I didnt like

Windows is creepy

[timid orbit]

most of microsoft's revenue comes from data, same as google

and the rest comes from azure

[timid orbit]

idr the details cuz i don't use azure, but azure has a parent license key that'll work for virtual machines under it

i think they're crazy expensive (and intended for enterprises) tho

[half relic]

Data center is super expensive so that probably is

My phone changed that to two words

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[timid orbit]

you work with windows server you said? what do you do? sys admin?

[half relic]

No i just work for a web host that has windows and Linux servers

In support

[timid orbit]

oh ok. i work as L1 support too. it sucks cuz everybody thinks we should know everything but we get the least access to all the stuff we need to solve problems lol

[half relic]

So people yell at me when their shopping cart stops working lol

[timid orbit]

ohhh ur customer support

[half relic]

Yeah

[timid orbit]

Respect

I couldn't

at least when ppl disrespect me, i can go to their manager

[half relic]

I had to get used to it

The customers I work with now are a lot bigger and more professional now though

Its the small customers that are unreasonable

[timid orbit]

just yesterday somebody put in a ticket, name dropping me 💀 i was like tf i do bro it ain't my fault

i been there 3mo and i'm already an immortalized house hold name

[half relic]

Why lol

Users when I worked in office it were not very technical though

[timid orbit]

cuz we couldn't fix his issue (it was lag) and he asked us to come to his team meetings to explain why we couldn't fix it. i told him to talk to my manager

he isn't either tbf

[half relic]

Most of our customers are resellers or developers or something

So they dont call and ask how to copy and paste lol

Man

[timid orbit]

that's nice tho ppl who are 20-30 are pretty good now

they have an issue, they damn near tell me how to do my job haha

[half relic]

I have had people ask us to fix the coffee maker

When I worked on a help desk someone walked in from the street with a virus infected computer and asked us to fix it and someone reimaged it for th em cause they thought they were an employee

Turned out it was some random person

Thats how bad that office waa

[timid orbit]

That's funny lol

[timid orbit]

prolly not out of the ordinary. i havn't worked a help desk job

we get asked a lot of random stuff too but not like that

[half relic]

That was my fist job after school

I live in a rural area and dont want to move so its hard to find good jobs

[timid orbit]

heyy same

[half relic]

I lived in a big city once and didnt like it

[timid orbit]

idk what big city is like but ik i sure dont like it here lol

[half relic]

I like this town

There are things its missing but its walkable and has a big university

[timid orbit]

oh so yours is more like a city

[half relic]

Why dont you like it there

Well there is a big university but not much else

[timid orbit]

there's hardly anything for 30+ miles. we got churches and bars. our saving grace was a taco bell that just opened about a month ago

[half relic]

The population of the university is the same as the town population

[timid orbit]

12k ppl?

my town about that pop rn

[half relic]

I used to live in a place like that

This is better

Mine was less than 3k

[timid orbit]

[half relic]

This one is 30 to 60 k depending on if you count the students

[timid prism]

Same. Closet propet city is 5 hr drive

[half relic]

If you dont work for the university there aren't a lot of great options

And I interviewed there but they didnt hire me lol

[timid orbit]

RIP

[timid prism]

Do u visit your clg regularly?

[half relic]

My office is about 80 miles away but we work from home

Clg?

Where do you work if you dont mind answering?

Its hard to find jobs in small towns

So I'm curious

If you dont want to say I understand

I probably talk about my job too much lol

I dont mean the company I mean what kind of job

I want to talk about things I saw on servers but I probably shouldnt

[timid orbit]

i walked away for like 5 min to go grab something lol

[half relic]

My old company doesn't exist though so I dont mind talking about the sql injection in the internal forms and stuff though lol

Sorry

I wont though

Someone might but I wont lil

[timid orbit]

it's an op analyst role tho for one of their systems

[half relic]

I applied to a job at a factory where they wanted someone to maintain their mission critical visual basic for applications application

I thought they were crazy for using an access database to run their shop

[timid orbit]

that's not the craziest thing i've seen

honestly an access database is still at least somewhat efficient

[half relic]

I hate when access is misused

[timid orbit]

unfortunately when companies start up, they have to do whatever it takes to get things going, then it makes harder to fix up later

[half relic]

They said the source code was big enough to reach thr roof if they printed it and it was all written in vba

[timid orbit]

ive used vba before. it's not terrible

[half relic]

I played with it before

[timid orbit]

i mean it's a special problem child, but by no means is it the worst choice

[half relic]

My experience at that job probably would have been useless if they did hire me

[timid orbit]

hey, programming experience is programming experience

phrase it right and you'll sound like a sr. eng

[half relic]

I dont know maybe

[timid orbit]

that's what i'm tryna do with this job. it's far less technical than helpdesk except for looking into an endpoint every blue moon.

less technical in an administrative pov btw

[half relic]

When i started on a helpdesk it was mainly helping people with basic computer tasks like finding word documents and resetting passwords

So it didnt feel very technical

[timid orbit]

from what i gather, help desks usually do user account creation and some more AD work.

but i get that's not every job

[half relic]

Yeah we did that too

Thats actually pretty easy though

It was mainly awkward when you got a ticket to disable an account then the call in and ask why their pass word doesn't work

[timid orbit]

we have guys in my job that came from prior help desk and someone told me that a guy would keep calling in and hanging up until they got a "man" on the phone

and he said he would tell him that he is a guy, and they would still hang up

[half relic]

We had customers like that

A lot of people act really surprised when they hear my voice on the phone cause it's 99 percent men

On the Linux tem

Team

But I work on both

[timid orbit]

That probably tracks, at least for Linux team.

[half relic]

I dont know why

[wild rose]

I had a customer whose DLP was not responding, so it needed to reinstalled. He said he only wanted someone who spoke Chinese. It took longer to write out all the steps and had sys admin work on their machine.

[timid orbit]

stereotypes 🤣

not about women, about Linux users

[half relic]

Lol

[half relic]

We basically ignore requests like that

Especially if they are asking for a man lol

[wild rose]

We're also had the Chinese police show up and start plugging in USBs into every computer that had a port. It was crazy for them to force their way in and hear it all go down in a conference call.

[half relic]

Wow why?

[timid orbit]

It's nice when people putting in the tickets assume we get paid more than they do. (We actually get paid less.)

[fading perch]

i don't like wireshark

[wild rose]

We had to revoke every USB privileges in all of china when that happened.

[timid orbit]

Jeez

Wth

[timid orbit]

I mean, there's also TShark

[wild rose]

I was an MSSP soc analyst for a global advance semiconductor manufacturer.

[half relic]

Top dump lol

[timid orbit]

*tcp

[half relic]

Lol

Stupid phone

Tcpdump

But not capitalized

[timid orbit]

but does mssp even have legal authority to block that kinda priv when servicing china?

[tranquil geyser]

My mouth hurts wtf

it's not my teeth but

idek

can't sleep

[timid orbit]

mine too i got 4 mouth ulcers and they hurt like heck

[wild rose]

uhhh yes cuz we did and it was a research facility for an American company.

[tranquil geyser]

ooof

[timid orbit]

gotcha makes more sense

[half relic]

I have no idea how that works. Im just glad I'm not in china

[timid orbit]

haha same

[wild rose]

who's manufacturing is all through out Asia.

We've had issues when all of a sudden our BGP routing is forced through China whenever a packet goes into Asia.

[half relic]

Interesting

[wild rose]

Its suppose to be an autonomous system, but China had certain ways to intercept it and reroute it through them.

[timid orbit]

i was just thinking about asking about that...

i'm only just now learning about that stuff since i'm studying for a cert

[still glen]

Hi guys

[wild rose]

I think the solution was to block any traffic at the ISP level, which when you try to explain it to them, they find it hard to believe.

[timid orbit]

how does that even work?

like ban based on their assigned IP range?

[still glen]

All our traffic goes through the ISP, but isnt it useless since our traffic is encrypted anyways? What can the ISP even look at

[timid orbit]

i mean, they can still see the websites you're visiting at a minimum

[still glen]

hmm, probably. They could theoretically become a man in the middle too, couldnt they?

[timid orbit]

not quite...

[wild rose]

We had to temperately force our traffic to go to Australia then Singapore to get to Taiwan.

[timid orbit]

wtf

[still glen]

this shows me I dont know what the internet does outside the router

[timid orbit]

less about what the internet does and more about how handshakes and encryption work

[wild rose]

It was a lot of networking that I wasn't a part of cuz I was on another project for them, but it was a pain.

[timid orbit]

sure ash sounds like it

none of that made any logical sense to me whatsoever lmao

[fading perch]

I have answered correctly why is it wrong?

[timid orbit]

the artist

the first one

[timid orbit]

not the one you're on

[still glen]

I do understand how handshakes and encryption work, but why would it not be possible for the ISP to set up a server that acts as a man in the middle?

[silver hornet]

where is green cert:(

[wild rose]

huh pics aren't loading for me on discord.

[fading perch]

where is the mistake?

[wild rose]

let me restart...

[timid orbit]

i mean they can and they are, but with the way that encryption works, they shouldn't be able to snoop in on encryption

[timid orbit]

it was only leak

[timid orbit]

search thru the page and look for something either labeled artist 1 or the first in sequence.

if memory serves me right atl

[silver hornet]

btw i'm ChatGPT

https://tenor.com/view/япі-yappi-gif-8852310440228889797

[timid orbit]

bruh why'd you reply to me specifically

i need the ping emoji

[silver hornet]

[still glen]

ill check this out later, but the keys are being sent through the internet via the ISP, so what the client knows is also what the ISP knows. Am i wrong?

[fading perch]

I'm right, so thm is wrong

[half relic]

Its asymmetric encryption

I probably shouldn't have said anything

[timid orbit]

why?
