[minor arch]

Come on, we can go together xD

[timid orbit]

Stay away from me, other Void!

[molten solar]

Its basically one of two free remote bootcamps

Ive been doing it since .. 2019?

[minor arch]

We are 10 Voids in here xD

[molten solar]

its a fun distraction sometimes

[marsh lark]

planning for CPTS and PT1

[timid orbit]

i'm on top tho 😉

[stoic quarry]

They might know what the cert is, but I've had interviews where I mention exp on both sites and they stare at me blankly and move on

[minor arch]

Nah, i am

[timid orbit]

nuh uh

[marsh lark]

no I am

[minor arch]

Lets race, who can do a reverse engineering ctf the fastest

[timid orbit]

what is even the point of all this then lmao

[minor arch]

or a pen testing ctf

[stoic quarry]

Learning

[molten solar]

@stoic quarry The trick is applying what you know.learned from those sites to their business needs

[minor arch]

Live competition

[timid orbit]

Void I'm going to get a restraining order lol

[stoic quarry]

Exactly this @timid orbit

[marsh lark]

really?
I know someone who got an internship cuz of HTB hacker rank (at least they noticed it and saw it as a good thing)

[timid orbit]

i am incognito void now

the other voids will never know

[molten solar]

I took up a great skill with self-gratification, I developed hand eye coordination and have a knack for psychologically manipulating the target , ensuring my session/engagement adheres to my expected scheduling

Hi everyone! I’m new to the cyber security career path and I’m wondering if a diploma is worth getting considering all of the places to gain education and hands on experience out there such as thm & htb. From a newbie perspective the options are kind of overwhelming and I just want to make sure I invest in the best area. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

[molten solar]

Its always nice to have an extra piece of paper, especially when you are short of diplomatic documents.

[timid orbit]

check out WGU and get you a B.S.

worst case scenario you move to IT lol

[quasi dome]

Guys how do u study

[topaz steeple]

:3

[timid orbit]

by taking time out of my day to sit down and take notes over a subject i don't want to hear about for at least an hour or two

[marsh lark]

with notes and text

[topaz steeple]

notion and then ai quiz

[marsh lark]

writing notes are actually quite fun

in my experience

[timid orbit]

i will NEVER touch AI quiz again after I failed my server+

[quasi dome]

How do u practice

[topaz steeple]

you aint using the right one

[marsh lark]

labs, machines

[olive tendon]

Thanks! That is good feedback 😊

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @molten solar (current: #385 - 23)

[molten solar]

@quasi dome For memorizing stuff for tests? I read it, I write it down , and I read it back out loud or at the least subvocalize it. Store it in three diff regions of brain memory (motor cortex, visual cortex, auditory cortex)

[marsh lark]

challenges

[olive tendon]

Awesome! I’ll look into that, thank you!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @timid orbit (current: #136 - 78)

[topaz steeple]

probably redo rooms and new rooms adjacent to the concept

[urban ravine]

Give me a random colour

[marsh lark]

blue

[urban ravine]

Alright bet ✌🏻

[topaz steeple]

pink

[quasi dome]

What if i feel that rooms aimt enough

[molten solar]

@urban ravine FEFE00

[topaz steeple]

idk id suggest cracking open some boxes then on htb

:3

[timid orbit]

@urban ravine cece00

[urban ravine]

Why do you both know shades of yellow…

Piss yellow at that

[molten solar]

wow. two people spit out hex codes

and BOTH of them are like 00 at end

[timid orbit]

i totally didnt do that on purpose

[urban ravine]

Thank god you said blue

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @marsh lark (current: #23 - 497)

[molten solar]

There has to be something in the psychology

to end a 00

[marsh lark]

why lol

[molten solar]

... and repeat the first byte

[urban ravine]

I have a red stripe in the front of my hair. I’m going to change the colour.

[crisp crater]

getting a job is so damn hard

[marsh lark]

ah lol

[molten solar]

Thats some mall level research

[timid orbit]

@urban ravine you should use #123456

[crisp crater]

🫩

[topaz steeple]

a what?

[crisp crater]

j*b

a focking j*b m8

[timid orbit]

close charmap and use ASCII nerd

[topaz steeple]

true, its tough rn

[urban ravine]

I can’t believe this is a colour and a shade of blue at that.

[topaz steeple]

i would be an absolute demon for a helpdesk

[crisp crater]

even helpdesk is competitive 💀

[molten solar]

@urban ravine Its R G B channel. the B channel is more than the R or G channels, so of course its blue

[timid orbit]

same 😩💦

[topaz steeple]

true literally feels llike hunger games

[timid orbit]

i'd be working so hard

to make sure Susan in Finance has her Active Directory configured correctly

[urban ravine]

Okay I see it on my screen. I think the closest hair dye to that blue is manic panic

[topaz steeple]

im gnawing on them ethernet cables

[urban ravine]

Nevermind arctic fox do a really nice blue 👀

[quasi dome]

How u guys do stuff like u got and idea of doing something then u actually do it
I can think but i cant do the stuff except unless i watch someone do the exact thing then i do like him

[topaz steeple]

best i can do is change Susan's desktop wallpaper

[timid orbit]

i'll reset her password for her

she will LOVE ME PSEUDO

[topaz steeple]

tbh you just gotta start and fail upwards ngl

[molten solar]

@topaz steeple if they leave it unlocked in do the ctl alt up arrow/down/right/left arrow thing ... they usually dont leav e it unlocked

[topaz steeple]

im sure she will

[urban ravine]

If you have an issue figuring out what steps to take you need to break it down. What do you want to do?

[topaz steeple]

[timid orbit]

Apparently the company I work for won't hire me internal for IT because it would be a COI. Makes me sad 🙁

[molten solar]

my favorite was always setting a capture of a very scary error as their wallpaper and setting a to hide all icons on the desktop moving the star bar to another side of the screen , turning off autohide but moving it off frame

Wait for the 2nd or 3rd reboot

[topaz steeple]

ik what im gon do on my dad's laptop now

[timid orbit]

To clarify, I can only move to Level 2 (Internal) which is NOT normal IT. I can't move to normal IT. But Level 2 isn't hiring.

[frail zenith]

gta5 time

[topaz steeple]

normal IT,there is NO normal IT, its a fire dumpster

[molten solar]

@timid orbit Whats a COl/I/| ?

[timid orbit]

conflict of interest

[timid orbit]

i mean desktop IT

i'm not desktop IT rn i'm specialized in a sense

[molten solar]

@timid orbit Your company has no way to transfer horizontally to a diff dep't?

[timid orbit]

desktop IT makes more $ tho

[timid orbit]

i'm a contractor i have to get hired internally

[quasi dome]

Lets qay i want to make a script that collect the source ip out of logs for example
Logically in my mind i may know some steps but in the actual practis i can't write a line of code

[topaz steeple]

just get me a helpdesk dawg im tired 😭

[molten solar]

@timid orbit AH ... i feel that pain

[topaz steeple]

ah you need to spend more time in bash then

try writing scripts you know you can nail

[urban ravine]

Then the first step would be to do some work on learning code.

[timid orbit]

Yeah. It's just weird, I can apply for Level 2 (which aren't hiring) and Networking, but I can't move to desktop IT support because it's a COI.

[topaz steeple]

and also try writing a pseudo code or steps and then look step by step how the flow of control works

[timid orbit]

I would otherwise have to change contracts or companies

[quasi dome]

Bro bash not the problem what if i want to do something else its still same

[urban ravine]

And you need to ask yourself questions like what type of code do I need to learn? Where’s the best place to learn this code? / scripts eg

[topaz steeple]

clearly define your problem statement first

[timid orbit]

Ill probably just leave where I'm at and move elsewhere tbch if I can find an opportunity

[topaz steeple]

if you dont know how to write the thing, id suggest revisiting some fundamentals again

[quasi dome]

Im more like a guy know how to run but cant walk

[topaz steeple]

slow down then

[molten solar]

@timid orbit You do any other gigwork as a contractor?

[timid orbit]

No

This contracting job is my first IT job

I ONLY do what I do and nothing more

[quasi dome]

See what i mean i got an issue but i cant identify it or express it

[topaz steeple]

?

[timid orbit]

use chatgpt to translate your feelings into english words

[urban ravine]

I am confusion now. Usually the thought process goes. “I want to make this because” and then know why.

😂

What do you mean

[topaz steeple]

its ight lol,sometimes it happens

sort of like a mind block

[urban ravine]

I see I see

Well when he figures it out, I’m all ears 😅

[topaz steeple]

i think he wants to make something but cant cuz he can only make it when someone else makes/guides him?

[molten solar]

What are you trying to make

[topaz steeple]

its like he know how to but doesnt know HOW TO write the thing

[molten solar]

He knows how to copy peoples code, he can mimic

[urban ravine]

I saw that and I explained how to study it.

Or how to run the thought process

[molten solar]

When learning to code .. most of my good stuff was done as a sort of outline/procedure diagram first

Especially complex things

[topaz steeple]

the only way is to fail upward and you eventually can make it on your own

[timid orbit]

Fail in reverse?

[topaz steeple]

part of the process

[molten solar]

This predated S/O .

[topaz steeple]

keep making it until you fail so many times that you finally understand what to do

yk what i mean?

fail fast type shii

[urban ravine]

Falling in reverse - I’m not a vampire

Good song

[timid orbit]

Yeah complex development almost requires that you break goals into smaller objectives. (The same idea behind Sprints in Agile I guess...) Some people are able to just continuously code and make shit but that's literally impossible for me.

[topaz steeple]

i thought i had networkin in my back pocket after thm, but today i went to htb and spoilers I DID NOT have it in my back pocket

[molten solar]

@timid orbit #waterfall life

[timid orbit]

[molten solar]

I wrote a data scraper api for my donghua tracker 😛 i can add new sites with simple regex rulesets

[timid orbit]

nice

[molten solar]

Hardly the fanciest site in teh world, but it does what i need it to

Which is a step up from teh spreadhseets i used to use

[timid orbit]

make that in nextjs?

[topaz steeple]

could have used myanimelist

[molten solar]

@timid orbit flask, werkzeug, sqlaclchemy,

@topaz steeple But myanimelist wouldn't give me a single click to get to the new content

[timid orbit]

it looks clean, you didn't use a framework for it?

[molten solar]

WHat do you mean framework

[timid orbit]

like react

or tailwinds or something

[topaz steeple]

it does?

[topaz steeple]

if this is raw html,css and js, i like how you think

[molten solar]

Yes/no. tailwind base

[topaz steeple]

if it is react, gg, just move to nextjs and tailwind combo

[molten solar]

to learn react i build a nvr

[topaz steeple]

ah yes the beautiful monitor filling class names

[molten solar]

basically an overglorified tivo

[timid orbit]

i never used flask/werkzeug it looks a LOT like angular tbh

[molten solar]

I started this with like a static image host location, then eventually i readied it for multitenancy .. multiple users can log in, it createsdb entries stores images as blobs

Toggleable user tracking

[topaz steeple]

yummers

[molten solar]

Its .. not peter north hard, but its still pretty resilient to the casual poke

[timid orbit]

are we gonna see it on the next AoC 26 Side Quests? Lool

[molten solar]

I kind of doubt it

[timid orbit]

Nah but that’s cool and impressive

[timid orbit]

Full Stack isn’t easy

[molten solar]

Its a heck oa step up from teh simplified table in cherry tree

I built it after a diff mediatracker i used, where it leverages tmdb.org for its content index. IF its not on tmdb you can't index it

Well ... all this manhua/donghua is like 2 min long

Nobodys setting up tmdb indexes for 2 mins of content

Yeah this but its dumb doing like him but i want make something by myself by my thoughts my own code script or project or even write up
I wanna be a chef in a open kitchen but in reality im a guy holding a frying pan only

[timid orbit]

Why in me?

[topaz steeple]

chat its real

[timid orbit]

I didn’t consent

[quasi dome]

Took me 2 min to get what u want

[marsh sentinel]

Could you recommend any places or communities where I can find bug bounty hunters or security researchers to test my website?

[timid orbit]

Not here.

[quasi dome]

Post on linked in or upwork or what ever freelance websites u know

[topaz steeple]

you gotta learn how to hold a frying pan before you become a chef in your own kitchen

[timid orbit]

mdBook is absolute trash btw

guys is .NET worth learning ?

sorry mb

i mean

C#

ik c and basic cpp

thx

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @warped blade (current: #562 - 14)

[timid orbit]

C# is mostly good for GUI apps imho

and games if you want to write game scripts

If you want anything that's good on a system level, stick to C++, Rust or Zig.

[river garden]

sgoing on chat

[timid orbit]

Im currently reading thru the Rust Book

[river garden]

u enjoy it?

[timid orbit]

Fuck no

But I have a project I want to make

[river garden]

i watched a yt course based on it

[timid orbit]

and Rust is a good language to make it with

[river garden]

u can watch the yt course instead if you prefer that

channel is let's get rusty

[timid orbit]

Nah YT courses miss a lot of content

ive seen his videos

he's annoying

he spends half his time glazing rust

and the other half shit talking C++

🤨

[river garden]

well its a starting point

[sand trench]

https://keepassxc.org/blog/2026-03-10-2.7.12-released/

:D

[river garden]

if you dont enjoy it or dont get much out of it

dont watch them, sure

[river garden]

hey shadow

hope ur doing good

[timid orbit]

hi shadow

ironically i dont think i ever really watched a C++ YT video when I got started with that

other than the cppcon videos ofc

[sand trench]

well doing kinda doing

[timid orbit]

i basically lived off learncpp.com and cppreference.com

[sand trench]

shadow lived by learning programming from project euler

Damon I'm gonna come to your house

I'm going to hide your extra house key in a different spot and watch you struggle

are you one them fancy ppl with the RFID locks??

i give up

launch codes for a car is crazy

12c?

also did u finally land a cybersec job?

damn

lowk im rooting for you big dawg

itll happen

nice. i might go to bsides nearby

that's my only lineup

1 day event

plumber's license?

gonna be working remote for OpenAI? Lol

[molten solar]

Is ther ean open source tool to visualize pfsense filterlog data graphically

gonna be working remote for OpenAI?

That works until they figure out what it is you do. Then you'll be in the unemployment line because they "remote" worked an agent on your behalf

[timid orbit]

idk but i found this page on Google just now https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/monitoring/graphs/traffic.html

[molten solar]

I was thinking something along the lines of a svg render of traffic data

[timid orbit]

same same. OpenAI is now a defense contractor ig

[molten solar]

Not metrics, i can get that from kibana .. Like network diagrams

[timid orbit]

there may be a pfsense plugin available but im not sure. last time i used pfsense teach was making us use the Snort IDS/IPS plugin for it. (Never set up Snort manually btw)

worst case scenario, export the data and pychart sort it lol

the buzzwords expire

see what happened with blockchain

[regal fractal]

hey ive been running into a problem recently where i cant connect to tryhackme machines when connected through openvpn on my kali vm. tryhackme says im connected, and pinging the ip that is given to test connection works fine, but whenever i try to connect to a machine, the connection times out. does anyone have any idea what could cause this or have any possible solutions ??

[urban ravine]

I dunno you might have better help in room help channel though

Or site support

[molten solar]

@regal fractal Did you rebuild your openvpn config yet

I had that issue when they switched to the new format

[regal fractal]

yep, i tried that first

[molten solar]

what routes are built after you connect

[regal fractal]

wdym

[molten solar]

you say you can ping. if you type ip r. do you see the network

[regal fractal]

lemme check it might take a minute

[sand trench]

dhex is good hex editor

[molten solar]

So no application pre-exists which will generate interactive network diagrams from log files?

Time to build one

[regal fractal]

this was the result

[molten solar]

@regal fractal Okay. next test. whats a vm you have spun up.

@regal fractal (like lesson / challenge host)

Go to the voice chat room

[regal fractal]

ive ben trying to use the one for linux PrivelegeEsc

[regal fractal]

also cant my mic was stolen

(borrowed)

[molten solar]

You don thave to talk. just listen, and share screen 😉

[regal fractal]

alr

[regal fractal]

can u see it

[molten solar]

@regal fractal Yes i could see it. you should share, then open up a trial room/challenge room/some vm that you can't connect to

[uneven swallow]

Mannnn it’s so nice outside I should go on a walk after work

Lpi Linux fundamental going faster than expected but I guess that makes sense, looks like I wasn’t missing a lot to begin with

[regal fractal]

ayyy i got it

[molten solar]

check your privat emsg's

You have 3 vpn sessions running, that is 2 too many

[keen schooner]

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab i got custm boot screen on printer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C-7JluUu5I

[urban ravine]

I finally set up a second screen.

[keen schooner]

I had 3 monitors at one point

What happened to my glorious set up

I do not know

But I am sitting with only 1 monitor currently

[urban ravine]

What did happen? 😶 I need to know.

[keen schooner]

They black screened one by one

[urban ravine]

I used to have 2 but then I had none set up. Then I had a laptop, another laptop, another laptop. Now I have two again

[keen schooner]

Ironically the "cheapest" BenQ one is the one that's survived the longest

[urban ravine]

Some of the screens I've had have been old af.

They last a long time usually

I used to break keyboards and headsets mostly

[keen schooner]

Technology is not built to last anymore, its built to survive just long enough for you to have to buy the next generation of technology when it releases

[urban ravine]

Yeah it's not built to last anymore

[keen schooner]

Yeah I used to shill hyperX for the "quality" on their headsets, but I went through probably 5-6 hyperX headset over the duration of 3 years.

So i realized i was being stupid at some point

Switched to a logitech headset 2 years ago and it's still the same quality as when I got it

[urban ravine]

I've broken a couple HyperX I just love the audio. It used to be really helpful to getting kills in game fr. I usually break them because I'll stand up and forget im wearing one, pulling it and my pc towers to their deaths.

I used to have a temper before I met scrubz and I broke a lot of computer stuff.

lmao

[keen schooner]

I had two acer monitors that I bought at the same time in 2018 that both lasted until 2022~

[urban ravine]

Ironically joining thm really calmed me down as a person.

[keen schooner]

Yeah I shilled them because of the quality of their sound

But the fact that their cables broke so often, made me go screw them

I got a wireless hyperx headset at one point because I thought, oh yeah since the cables are the problem I'll just remove the cable

And then the microphone broke

[urban ravine]

I would really rely on footsteps of the enemies when I was engaged in third party fighting/close combat. I played a lot of apex so I needed to know.

[keen schooner]

Trust me there's a bunch of headsets on the market that do the exact same

[urban ravine]

I used to use a seperate mic, I feel like all headset mics break eventually.

I have a snowball

[keen schooner]

Not this one I have now

[chilly veldt]

[urban ravine]

Sure I had a wireless cloud headset that broke for no reason in under a month. Very sadge.

[urban ravine]

You should just get a desk mic, no breaking

[keen schooner]

Its not that important to me anymore

I don't play games as much anymore, and even when I did I only thought about the sound that could improve my gameplay rather than the outbound

[urban ravine]

Yeah fair. I dont play anymore. I havent played on pc game like that in a very long time.

I bought them for $400 each, no idea what you're talking about. Why does it matter to you? Also, technology being made to break is an irrefutable fact, go shill big corps elsewhere

Hmm..

[sand trench]

nice reference to the game dragonfable shadow did there :D

[bold rover]

Dragon fable, you still playing it

Nice shadow

[faint vigil]

It should be after every module not after every room so once in a while you will get a topic recap

[sand trench]

yeah... slightly burnt out so not done much in it today

My friend showed me

it is good value and the story is a banger
though book 1 content has some jokes that might not have aged perfectly

[bold rover]

Ohh, right, my friend is obsessed with it

She doesn't even wanna move away from the game

[timid orbit]

i bought a new laptop

[sand trench]

it is a good game

[urban ravine]

what one did ya get

[sand trench]

but there is a limit of the content so you can catch up in a month or two

[timid orbit]

i bought that one

[sand trench]

if you want a true forever game there is dwarf fortress

[timid orbit]

i had like 3 i was considering, but this one was best bang for buck when it came down to new and performance

[urban ravine]

Nice I do like lenovos but theyre a bit heavy

[sand trench]

where coreboot???

[timid orbit]

true. i just wanted something reliable

[urban ravine]

They're solid tbf.

[timid orbit]

im probably going to be running docker containers and VMs on it

[stoic quarry]

Why not proxmox

[timid orbit]

it's not going to be a server...

[sand trench]

man these recaps from echo have some problems with unclear syntax distinctions

for example it did not understand a command with " as valid but with ' valid

[stoic quarry]

Fair

[faint vigil]

Anyone played the room series in here?

[urban ravine]

The main thing I think about when I'm looking to buy laptops is if I can run VMS on them and then I never end up using a VM

[sand trench]

dear meeps this is bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6iaBsPFKNA

[urban ravine]

whats this

[timid orbit]

I ironically also have a Raspi and a mini-desktop I specifically bought to use as servers of some sort. Raspi I decided I want to isolate and use for Kali, mini-desktop I decided I want to host my own LLM. I don't have the space to set up to make my homelab, and I don't have the set up to use my desktop PC for dev. I have to wait till I can move out.

[stoic quarry]

I'm moving soon. So excited to annoy my girlfriend by buying a server rack

[timid orbit]

rack servers are cool to play with, but honestly a tower is usually quieter and more convenient to manage

just keep that in mind

[urban ravine]

I wanted to set up my own LLM but I swear I get jumped everytime I try to mention it

[timid orbit]

I'd much rather run my own LLM than pay for ChatGPT or Claude tokens

[urban ravine]

Everyones so "Ethical" untill it comes to AI apparently lmao

[sand trench]

would recommend ollama then

[timid orbit]

that's the plan!

[sand trench]

for self hosting LLM:s at home

[urban ravine]

EVeryone beefing me for LLMS

I will have one.

[sand trench]

also plenty of uncensored models if you need that

[urban ravine]

Whos gonna top mehhhh

STOP *

[sand trench]

which to be honest you probably do for some more advanced hacking rooms on tryhackme

[urban ravine]

oh lowd.

[timid orbit]

chatgpt be like "port 4444 i can't help you that's illegal"

[sand trench]

anyways the ram cost for self hosting llm:s is not fun

[urban ravine]

Yeah exactly right and ontop of that theres so many rules around it. It talks to me like I'm trying to take over the planet.

[sand trench]

neither is the requirement of good gpu:s

[timid orbit]

no that's why i just have a mini desktop iGPU and 32GB RAM. it will probably be dedicated for that, should be good enough for my needs

[sand trench]

just find some random local food service that has an ai order bot and use up their tokens

Yeah it's pretty fun if you're into escape room based games

[bold rover]

Can you teach me?

[mystic chasm]

yea its the process of how private investigators do their stuff. bunch of tutorials online idk if THM covers it

[faint vigil]

also Michael Bazzell OSINT techniques newest edition he is like the god of OSINT combine that with rae bakers deep dive, and you got a lot of reading to do but you will learn some very good stuff

I just started learning about these things majority of thing I found about it was paid services

How have none of you geniouses got a P1 from here yet!??!?

[bold rover]

Should I?

I don't remember

[hollow lava]

This has to be the shittiest site ever.

[bold rover]

[hollow lava]

I got 2 P1's in less than an hour

And they want to pay me in their fake currency

[timid orbit]

holy crap that lightmode is wild on that site

dark mode looks pretty good tho

i have a 27" monitor so it's 27 inches of LIGHT

[faint vigil]

Is it just me or is Linux cli 10x easier than windows cli? 🤣 I hate windows commands lol

[timid orbit]

which one

[hollow lava]

WIndows is complete trash now.

I can barely see it

[bold rover]

Me 29 1/2inch ultra wide

[hollow lava]

Hey my 5090 Came in today just want to Know if this is FREAKING NORMAL!

[faint vigil]

Just in general like the syntax for windows cli is ew lol I find Linux commands to be easier for me to memorize, just use them lol

[timid orbit]

you have sh, bash, zsh, fish, etc. and then you have command prompt and powershell. what are we comparing here?

[stoic quarry]

Power shell syntax is very silly

[faint vigil]

Syntax lol

[hollow lava]

Do they always come without the PCB or is that only the 5090'S!!??!?!?!

[mental spoke]

riot games is so horseshit btw. i cant play valorant because i dual boot

[timid orbit]

it should just be secure boot

[mental spoke]

its secure boot thats the issue for me

[timid orbit]

there actually IS a way to enable secure boot on a dual-boot system it's just completely impractical

[faint vigil]

Valorant problems

[mental spoke]

im triple booting id rather not break my setup

[timid orbit]

you have to sign your Linux UEFI or something with Microsoft keys essentially

[mental spoke]

not worth my time

yeahhh no thanks. ill just avoid valorant since they suck

[timid orbit]

lol yea

come to CS

the water's scorching hot

[stoic quarry]

If you disabled it to dual boot, then re-enabling it might wipe it completely and Bork your windows

[timid orbit]

maybe if it's on the same drive, but i've never had that issue on different drives

source: i do that currently

[mental spoke]

yeah i did disable it and have had it disabled since i installed both garuda and xubuntu on this pc with windows

[stoic quarry]

Turn dual boot on/off on the fly?

[mental spoke]

windows shares drive w xubuntu, garuda is on its own drive

[timid orbit]

Yup

[stoic quarry]

Godamn

[timid orbit]

I change boot order and enable/disable secure boot

never had an issue

[stoic quarry]

I think it is a same drive issue yeah

[mental spoke]

probs. not really worth the risk of me breaking any of my operating systems tbh

[timid orbit]

same drive is SKETCHY AF with Windows

[mental spoke]

yeah i alr barely use my xubuntu because i fear one day windows will just destroy it when windows updates

so i mainly use garuda which is isolated from windows fully

[timid orbit]

Btw Windows in general just SUCKS if you don't turn off soft shutdown then it will keep a lock on network drivers and w/e else so it will break if you boot into Linux xD

[mental spoke]

yeah windows is extremely irritating actually

like how windows raid works and how you cant read the drive on linux because windows has it locked down

love that sm

[faint vigil]

The rivalry between linux, and windows 🤣

[mental spoke]

windows just feels like they try to make things inconvenient so you stick w them

like how abt no

[timid orbit]

don't you remember the "Windows ❤️ Linux" ads?

Hi @boreal scarab 👋!!

[mental spoke]

once you fight cmake dependencies for 3 hours on windows you quickly realize windows sucks

[timid orbit]

cmake deps on any platform just suck

you kinda just have to raw dog it and not use a PM

[mental spoke]

i do agree there

cmake just makes me wanna throw my head through the wall

[timid orbit]

most portable way to do that is by pulling a git submodule

[faint vigil]

The halloween documents side eye you 🤣

[stoic quarry]

I have a tux foam figure that has "Windows ❤️ open source" on it

[sand trench]

what do you mean the walls are not supposed to be crying black liquid

[timid orbit]

@mental spoke Can I show you a project I have

You might like it

[boreal scarab]

Honestly? Prob never unless I make it accessible from my phone anywhere via my desktop as a Tailscale End node

[stoic quarry]

Bouldering

[sand trench]

see you have the know how to do it

[sand trench]

also gaming of a lot of kinds including a few table tops

[arctic epoch]

how do you get into that?

[arctic epoch]

how do you dedicate time for gaming?

[sand trench]

lots of reading and cross referencing sources

[boreal scarab]

Oh, my tailscale is all setup. Just do some FW rules to make it accessible on my phone and have my desktop as a relay between my NAS -> Desktop -> Phone

what car do u drive? my dream car is a golf gti with a stage 1 plug and play mod.

[mental spoke]

Audi TT mk1

similar to a golf gti tbh

[boreal scarab]

That's the one!

[mental spoke]

i tune a LOT of golf gtis to stage 1

shadow is also a case study in the problems of the human mind

cars go BEEP BEEP

and also VROOM VROOM

[arctic epoch]

i think anything beyond stage 1 might catch attention (in a bad way) or so i've heard... is that true?

[mental spoke]

i make good money off it or i def wouldnt do it thats for sure, idk why i claimed its fun because its a headache

[mental spoke]

i mean yes and no, depends on how you drive your car on the street. you can have a monster of a car and drive it normally still. but yes you can draw attention if youre a clown with your power

[urban ravine]

That's all I know

[mental spoke]

your more likely to get bad attention like cops from doing something like asking for pops and bangs on decel on your car

[urban ravine]

[arctic epoch]

i see. ( i am a responsible driver 🙂 )

[sand trench]

first good step would probably be reading:
beginner's introduction to privacy by naomi brockwell
and
extreme privacy what it takes to disappear 5th edition by michael bazzell

[urban ravine]

I have the extreme privacy one

the others I ended up downloading on my kindle

That books is big

[sand trench]

yeah it is 590 pages

with tons of good advice to start from

after that you try and find more sources of privacy information while trying to remain balanced from hog water and useful advice

[covert trail]

Hello, I'm Rayan 🇲🇦
17 years old
I'm learning cybersecurity with a bug bounty program
I'm looking for people to learn with me.

No CV at the moment!!

If you're interested, please DM me, may God protect you

[urban ravine]

Yeah I seemed to have lost some information I came across on the web about about privacy on images. Maybe you know what I'm looking for as chatgpt seems to not understand what I heard.

[sand trench]

use black boxes for faces
remove metadata of the image using a variety of available tools before sharing the file with anyone

would be the 2 most critical things

[arctic epoch]

i want to be a privacy officer.

[sand trench]

blurring and other methods of scrambling faces have sadly been rendered obsolete by AI being able to reverse it

[arctic epoch]

being a privacy officer has been my goal the last 5 years

[sand trench]

and metadata of image files can include a ton of info about the file and its source including gps cordinates

[urban ravine]

Actually it's more a block for images that already exist. I'm sure I heard in a video you can get the code from an image and upload it somewhere so it blocks other people uploading that image but I was half asleep. I thought I saved it but I couldn't have.

[sand trench]

don't recognise that

but sounds like a system using hashes to compare things

could have been in relation to illegal CSAM image materials as a ton of services use that to block known bad images

[urban ravine]

Yeah sounds likely. I tried looking into it after but I must have lost the screen shot and chatgpt thought I had lost my mind.

[sand trench]

^ and report it to authorities but yeah

[urban ravine]

yeah it was

[faint vigil]

PhotoDNA

client side scanning is an interesting topic as well

[urban ravine]

A lot of automated scans are not fool proof either

but without getting too political. Some of the image generation coming from ai was questionable.

EHEM ... elon.

[faint vigil]

Mhm there is one case an innocent guy got prosecuted because client side scanning flagged him.

[urban ravine]

Anyways

[faint vigil]

oh his twitter is wild 🤣

[urban ravine]

but yeah there must be a way. Theres no way this dum dum brain of mine thought of that on it's own. I must have seen a video.

[sand trench]

not just one case.. there are a few big public ones but the amount of false possitives is a lot bigger then acceptable

one of the major instances is a dad who lost all of his google accounts and data because of a single picture sent to a doctor to help diagnose his kid that the doctor asked for

[faint vigil]

Damn that's wild

[faint vigil]

wtf that's messed up smh

[sand trench]

yeah google has declined to reinstate the account even though the police looked into the case and declared it a false positive if shadow recalls the story correctly

[faint vigil]

Wow

[dark wolf]

You sent me that a month ago lol 🙂

[urban ravine]

It really urks me when companies know they've done something wrong and refuse to fix it.
