i picked up an ooni karu. im really liking it so far

[lunar verge]

[modern vigil]

Ok

[radiant jacinth]

Ok

[autumn trout]

do i buy a bigger SSD and dual boot Arch / Windows?

I need AUR stuff to publish AUR packages :L

[twin ridge]

DO IT

[scarlet moth]

dual boot is just so annoying

[autumn trout]

i need some arch linux install tho

purely for AUR / homebrew stuff

[twin ridge]

VM?

[autumn trout]

arch really doesnt like VMs

[remote echo]

what

[autumn trout]

everytime i have this convo, someone says "arch works fine in a VM" and then I try it, and its the most broken piece of software i have ever used and that person is like "oh yeah thats normal"

[remote echo]

Arch works fine in a VM

[autumn trout]

wow

the exact words

[remote echo]

lmao that’s just arch dawg

use Manjaro

[autumn trout]

i do

still broken

manjar odoesnt uih

resolution

very bad

in VM

even with VMware tools

[remote echo]

I think you’re broken

[autumn trout]

or on virtualbox

i used manjaro for like a year as my own OS 😦

[remote echo]

bee you’re broken

[rapid summit]

Bee would you happen to know what it would take to publish ARM image for rustscan in docker hub?

[spark sun]

can you get a refurb laptop from a reseller/repair shop? it's less headache to have separate devices than to manage dual boot. Grub corruption is the worst

[autumn trout]

we have an ARM Docker image for RustScan specifically to publish ARM packages, I assume not much work?

[rapid summit]

Probably not. I built it locally and have used it, but hub published one might be convenient as well.

[dull glen]

I use Manjaro in vm and works fine. I use vbox btw.

The latest image rescales without installing any guest additions.

[dry aspen]

@autumn trout dual boot is good choice imo just allocate 30-40 gb to arch or manjaro and turn off fast boot from window partition (so that windows partition is easily ready and writeable in arch) and mount those windows partition :)

[left dirge]

I really really really really really really really like pizza

[maiden urchin]

Pizza is delicious

[steel plover]

depends on the pizza and where you get it from

[maiden urchin]

I prefer BBQ pizza

Especially from Dominos with the cookies

[uneven oak]

Sadist

[steel plover]

that just means more for blackout

[maiden urchin]

How is that being a sadist?

[uneven oak]

Idk I wasn't expecting you guys to ask about it haha

Just seemed like an appropriate term for a guy who eats BBQ pizzas 😘

[steel plover]

BBQ pizza isn't bad, I just can't order it or no one else will eat it

[uneven oak]

It aint my thang but I don't really eat any pizza aside from margheritas nowadays so who am I to talk eh

[twin ridge]

what's on a BBQ pizza?

isn't it chicken and bbq sauce?

[uneven oak]

Aye pretty much

Mebs some peppers or something

[twin ridge]

I think I did that once

though with a heavy cream base

[uneven oak]

Sounds like an improvement, decent pie?

[scarlet moth]

we should just name this to the #cooking channel

[rapid summit]

Oh sorry, I shared my pizza pic on the wrong channel.

[burnt night]

I wanna make a flammkuchen

[twin ridge]

those are good

[lean fjord]

wait, you're here talking about food and didn't ping me?

[scarlet moth]

sorry sorry

I forget that you are here, you never talk here

[lean fjord]

yeah, too busy on other channels I often forget about this one (sorry folks)

[radiant jacinth]

hello, my mom is sleeping so I need to have a quiet conversation

[rapid summit]

shh.

[timid peak]

Absolutely! I better find the LAMB SAUCE!

Also it's Burns night tonight in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[uneven oak]

Yous having a kick about using a haggis?

[quaint basin]

Oops

[autumn trout]

[twin ridge]

Yeah well I need to find something decent

[steel plover]

I don't have any fancy food pics

[twin ridge]

And mine ain't fancy

Although I think I have some chicken nuggets planned this week

[steel plover]

always thought it weird to have a contest and not be able to test, that is half the fun

the Guys Grocery Games Delivery Edition is like that, "let me tell you how good my food is"

[flat nebula]

Has someone tried to make the eternal blue cocktail ?

It has a lot of things inside

[steel plover]

a few of those and your down for a few hours

[twin ridge]

4 oz of booze is...reasonably strong...

[spark sun]

that's the equivalent of 2 beers

[flat nebula]

That looks great

[burnt night]

1lb ribeye, butter basted. Half served up with half for later

[short elk]

meanwhile i'm eating leftover pizza from yesterday

[lunar verge]

That's some good looking steak

[flat nebula]

Microwaved leftover pizza ? It's not that bad.

[short elk]

no just cold

[burnt night]

The pan wasn't quite hot enough because I used the small burner, left it for a tiny bit too long so there's a lil grey.

Not a lot but not quite perfect

[flat nebula]

what are the things between the fries and the onion rings ?

[short elk]

mushrooms

[burnt night]

Oven baked

I only cooked the steak, my dad cooked the rest

Stuck at home

[twin ridge]

steak looks good

Fries look bog standard

oh well, submitted some reading material for you, James

[burnt night]

They're pretty standard yeah

Nothing to write home about

[serene trench]

StegoSuite perhaps? @rich oriole

[twin ridge]

curl or wget?

[quaint basin]

That, uh, wasn't a question 😆

So whenever I go here I just see my badges

/badges

I coudn't find this one this morning xD

[twin ridge]

This where we post food? I love cooking.

My first attempt at homemade Tonkotsu Ramen.

[lilac gust]

[hard gazelle]

Wow, looks great!
What is dark red grains? 辣油(Chili oil)?

[queen fern]

I just did red pepper seasoning. Chili oil is a better idea though!

[uneven oak]

Damn

Looks great

[queen fern]

Took me 2 days to find all the ingredients and make it. The pork belly cooked for 24 hours and the broth simmered for 12.

Hey guys, help on a machine?

[odd acorn]

@gentle tinsel please respect rule 3

[patent gate]

@radiant jacinth Please respect Rule 1 of the server, and don't DM anyone without asking permission 1st. #rules

[maiden urchin]

Yep

There might be a room on it at some point

[quaint basin]

Yes, a lot of them will be. Once a working exploit is released we're gonna have fun patching them

Not least because AWS doesn't convert anything higher than Ubuntu 18.04, so if that doesn't get patched we're basically gonna be deleting sudo

Also, there's another BoF in sudo that was discovered last year. 18467, from memory?

[burnt night]

I think 1804 should still be getting patches

[quaint basin]

I used to know that by heart

[burnt night]

18634

[quaint basin]

634, thanks James

Either way,
https://tryhackme.com/room/sudovulnsbof

[twin ridge]

1804 should normally have a patch out already

[burnt night]

Yep

I'd hope so

[twin ridge]

looks like kali got a patch

[burnt night]

@terse gorge if you're around, do you know if it's possible for us to get the room image with internet connectivity so we can patch them live for this sudo vuln?

[muted remnant]

i got the first name as root . how to change the second name (DESKTOP -66????) as something else ? is it possible

[twin ridge]

umm, what?

[burnt night]

Change your hostname

That's what you're asking

[twin ridge]

is that your local system?

[manic fossil]

ah hope you patch it soon

[burnt night]

It has to be patched one box at a time

[terse gorge]

Whoever is patching it, I can spin up a machine with internet access and reclone it once complete:)

[burnt night]

Great ok

If you're around next week I wanna sort out a couple of mine?

[terse gorge]

Yeah no worries, just give me a ping with the rooms upload titles and I'll get that done for you

[burnt night]

Great

[twin ridge]

I think I'm safe for the time being, none of my boxes have direct access to the Host OS

[muted remnant]

yea

[muted remnant]

yeah that word "hostname"

[twin ridge]

it's in WSL or a VM?

if it's WSL, then it gets the hostname from Windows

if its a VM you can use hostnamectl

[autumn trout]

anyone not subbed

Lemme check rq

[burnt night]

I can't find how to do 6mo anymore

Other than vouchers

Duck is one of those animals in France that is super common...and relatively cheap

[smoky mortar]

I think it is canard if I remember correctly.

[twin ridge]

Yes

[patent gate]

Is it a straightforward application/requirements for French Citizenship?

[twin ridge]

depends, but I have like 3 valid reasons to stay...

[uneven oak]

3 baguettes in one minute is the general rule

[twin ridge]

the application itself wasn't too complicated, just had to get all the proper documents from everyone

[visual breach]

So, my wife has stopped wearing ratty old t-shirts (she threw them all out) and started putting on nicer clothes and lots of things with collars and buttons. She looks so wonderful and I have to keep remembering to tell her. For women who are curious, men do care.

Whats folks dinner plans for this evening?

[burnt night]

Haggis

[rapid summit]

lunch is leftover soup and some nice olive bread

[steel plover]

Zojja - what is time of bean?

[radiant jacinth]

cool, good luck

[scarlet moth]

oh type of bean

[short elk]

duck pancakes 😈

[twin ridge]

That could be good tbh

I'm making chicken nuggets

[spark sun]

there is a pizza place that does a duck and fig pizza - I would not have expected it to be good, but it's pretty amazing

[rapid summit]

Duck in a pizza sounds a bit heavy to me, but I could give it a try

[twin ridge]

Duck and fig works very well

[serene trench]

This guy know's what's up

[twin ridge]

They have this thing in the southwest of France they call "grattons de canard" which is basically fried duck skin with all the fat bits. It's so good.

But that would work really well in pancakes

[radiant jacinth]

Duck is amazing if you smoke it (in a smoker, not in a pipe)

[patent gate]

I had this veggie stuff called 'Mock Duck' with hoisin and noodles a while back. Was pretty nice

[radiant jacinth]

hoisin makes everything nice

[patent gate]

Agreed

[trail cove]

Firecracker duck is one of my favourite meals

[odd acorn]

When I was younger I loved a type of cooked duck but now I feel that it is morally wrong to eat duck.

[patent gate]

Jabba, Muir will be happy to hear that 🙂

[autumn trout]

its morally wrong to eat all meat

except

gimme a sec

i forgot what its called

[patent gate]

Except when you accidently bite the inside of your cheek

[radiant jacinth]

human?

[odd acorn]

Esqy when I first joined the discord I was a vegetarian, Muirland and Bee both gave me recipes on what to cook (I still cannot cook to this day).

[autumn trout]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfIWNf42hJE

you can eat this

for sure

that things a monster

[north roost]

what about meat that is considered waste like livers and such? thats not really unethical

[autumn trout]

define waste

how do you procure it?

[odd acorn]

I didn't think people actually happily ate tongue until my Grandfather walked in with a bag of it.

[north roost]

i mean butchers typically throw them away

insects can be viable too

[odd acorn]

He was a Chef and used to cook all sorts, he even said his favourite meat to cook was pony.

[autumn trout]

after they slaughter an innocent animal?

sounds ethical to me 😄 👍

[radiant jacinth]

you still kill them for the "waste"

I love animals, but I also really like the taste and the feeling the serotonin it gives me when I eat them

[odd acorn]

This is where I leave because this topic is super touchy for me, one wrong thing said and I'll just stop eating haha

[north roost]

its less about the act of killing and making due with the fact that we waste insane amounts of food, thats not changing. killing animals is immoral but wasting food is unethical

[autumn trout]

You can do that!

[patent gate]

Aye, but Jabba is right. This is kindof a charged subject for a lot of people

[quaint basin]

Yeah, I'm about to start banning

[autumn trout]

I think every industry is filled with waste tbh

Like plastic

and so much pollution from factories

[patent gate]

Bee - I'm actually trying to reduce my plastic waste 🙂

[autumn trout]

Individually we can't do much, its the big corps that are causing 99% of the problems 😦

[patent gate]

I have rubber straws, I have a Sodastream instead of buying bottles of fizzy water, cloth shoping bags etc

[autumn trout]

its very hard for me :((

[north roost]

tell that to the pile of scrap PLA I have from my 3D printer

definitely have made a bigger effort to "buy things for life" in most aspects of my life - way too much disposable crap

[patent gate]

What I will say - Metal straws are not worth it. They make everything taste metallic 😄

[north roost]

but yeah even the whole concept of "carbon footprint" was a manufactured PR campaign to make it seem like these mega-corps give a hoot

[patent gate]

They look cool, but thats about it

[north roost]

theres a coffee shop near me that uses these hay straws that are pretty darn good, no weird taste and disposable/compostable

[patent gate]

I bought these straws for my mum, sister and my friend:

They are actually pretty good. was £10 for 3, and they are still using them a year on

[north roost]

smart, re-usable straws tend to get really gross quickly and are annoying to clean with that stupid little brush

[patent gate]

Thats why these ones split 😄

[vestal parrot]

[short elk]

what's everyone's favourite show then

[uneven oak]

Its Always Sunny probs

[autumn trout]

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, or the Lilo & Stitch TV show (not the anime)

[uneven oak]

Peep Show is also a banger

[short elk]

interesting choices

didn't know buzz had his own show

[scarlet moth]

favorite favorite show? thats a tough one

favorite current (still running) may be American Horror Story

favorite show of all time is probably Twilight Zone

but Bridgerton is an amazing emerging show especially at someone who normally would be bored to death of 19th century Britain (it just isn't my genre)

[uneven oak]

Whats yours?

[short elk]

i haven't got around to it's always sunny yet

and i didn't really like peep show the little i watched of it

i prefer david and richard on gameshows

but uh i have no idea what my fave is, probably a mix between suits, prison break and lost lol

[uneven oak]

[mighty echo]

yeah, 2019 aoc

& 2020 aoc / 25 days of cyber

[haughty thunder]

I'm late to the party and you already got answers, but I recently tackled this, too. Getting OpenVPN to background was a pain. I run Tmux locally and didn't want to use Tmux in my SSH session to my Kali VM, so I set OpenVPN to just run as a service on my Kali box, since it's currently dedicated to THM anyway.
Here are my notes (hopefully Discord doesn't freak out on my markdown)

[[OpenVPN]]

Linux

Service Configuration

• https://guldberglab.info/run_openvpn_in_the_background/

Create a service config

sudo vim /lib/systemd/system/OpenVPN-Connection_Name.service

Edit the config with these settings

[Unit]
Description= VPN Connection to my home
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --config <Path to your ovpn file> 

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload the systemctl daemon to pick up the new service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable and start the new service

sudo systemctl enable OpenVPN-Connection_Name.service # sets to auto start
sudo systemctl start OpenVPN-Connection_Name.service # starts now

[burnt night]

There's a specific thing for running openvpn on boot as a service, rather than making that just use execstart

I believe you just put your config file in a specific location

[haughty thunder]

Yeah, I did see something about that, too. I started out with this path thinking it would work for an on-demand connection, but realized later there wasn't really a reason to not just have this VPN running whenever the VM was up anyway.

[timid peak]

Thanks a lot! Not managed to really get into it yet, still running the AttackBox in the browser, it would just be cool to use my Kali box in the cloud for it. Perhaps this is a bit beyond my skills for now lol, totally new to CLI and Linux 😅 Thanks a lot dude!

[quaint basin]

I've got an alias for it that's, uh, rather a lot quicker 😆

alias thmvpn="tmux new -s THMVPN  \"sudo openvpn ~/Downloads/MuirlandOracle-THM.ovpn \""

Stick that in ~/.bash_aliases, then you can start it with thmvpn. Ctrl + D to detach and leave it backgrounded

[burnt night]

'didn't want ro use tmux in my ssh session to my kali vm'

Muir

Bad

[quaint basin]

Oh, oops 😆

What's wrong with nested tmux?

[twin ridge]

I suppose that works

[haughty thunder]

That probably would have worked fine, and maybe nested tmux is a non-issue, just use a different leader? I'm using a tiling window manager as my top layer, and tmux in my terminal as a second layer already, with vi type key bindings and just using different leaders for context. I think I'd need more coffee to add nested tmux as another context layer. Just using it as a detached session to squelch OpenVPN spamming logs to stdout would have worked for me though.

[quaint basin]

That is a lot of multiplexing. I love it 🤣

But yeah, I keep Ctrl + A as my tmux prefix locally, then the default Ctrl + B when I'm working remotely

All through Tilix as well -- so also with a multiplexing terminal

[haughty thunder]

ha! Yeah, I didn't try nested tmux at all. Good to know that it doesn't inception implode if you just use logical prefixes like that.

[quaint basin]

Hehe, yeah, most I've got is about 6 deep, just for the kicks

A-F prefixes. Worked a charm

[covert walrus]

Quick STUPID question: What if someone solved all the rooms on tryhackme and he/she has got nothing to solve any more, until the next room comes up... What will happen to THE STREAKS then? Will the koth activity matter?

Feel free to ew me but I genuinely wonder that 😅

[maiden urchin]

KOTH counts towards streaks I think

[autumn trout]

tbh just email support you'd get your streak

at least one room is released a week

meaning you can always maintain a streak under the premise of "i've done everything lol"

[covert walrus]

lmao alright thanks... I am on my 80th day soo uk... kinda worried 😅

[autumn trout]

oh dont be

im incredibly generous with streaks lol

you could literally take an entire week off and come back with an 87 day streak 😄

[covert walrus]

🆒

[covert walrus]

Eh, I am fine with a regular streak 😄

lol yeah people in an infosec Discord are gonna go to your http IP address link

[short elk]

your loss

[burnt night]

I mean I can grab a domain and https it rq, doesn't change the content

[short elk]

^

[finite turtle]

I wouldn't follow any random link here tbh, but this one looks almost deliberately sketch, lol

[quaint basin]

I literally set up a random https site five minutes ago 🤷‍♂️
It's really easy to do, and free.

In short, don't trust links just because they have https. Trust that the information is secured, but don't necessarily trust the destination.

[finite turtle]

Read my last message - I wasn't saying "I would trust this with a domain and https", I know how easy that is to set up. My point was that I definitely wouldn't trust a link to an IP

[short elk]

why

i just can't be arsed to buy a domain for a joke website

[finite turtle]

I still wouldn't go there - the domain wasn't my point in the end

[quaint basin]

(You use IPs all the time to connect to THM)

[finite turtle]

are you being deliberately obstinate for the sake of it orrrrr

THM isn't "a random link"

I trust THM machines

let me re-write my initial statement since I realize it was definitely misleading:

lol yeah people in an infosec Discord are gonna visit random links

[quaint basin]

There we go 😁

[smoky mortar]

Now how awesome is that!

[timid peak]

Happy weekend folks! 😀🤙🏼

Oh, I meant to say(!) - unfortunately my work basically said to us they're paying off 30% of the workforce, which isn't ideal, so I decided to apply to some unis in case, not expecting much, and I got an unconditional for Abertay in Dundee for ethical hacking which is super cool 😀 I'm doing an undergrad in cyber sec at Open Uni part time at the moment but only been doing it since October, so in a way it'd be cool to do it full time! Heard good things about that course too!

[autumn trout]

Sick one!!!! 😄

Muir studies at Abertay

[lusty parrot]

[red veldt]

Congratulations 🎊

[balmy pulsar]

hi

[fervent ferry]

Congratulations, rossmitchell!

I only just saw the undergrad degree on the OU now - looks tempting. If I may ask, how are you finding it?

[muted pivot]

i'm at OU as well

[muted pivot]

I'm OU as well 🙂

[fervent ferry]

Oh cool!

[muted pivot]

the first year is quite basic, however second and third are a bit better

you will be studying stuff such as maths and basic IT really, and i mean i have been doing it for a while and just part time, no full time commitment

[fervent ferry]

I was quite surprised it didn’t need any formal qualifications beforehand - but at the same time, I’m glad.

I think I’ll keep it in mind, so it’s great to get other’s opinion on it.

If you work full-time, how are you finding that to work with studying? A few hours a day?

[muted pivot]

Nope, I work in the industry mostly and just invest 4-5 days before exams, but on the other hand i've also done an apprenticeship at the same time as working and doing the degree. It's hard, but manageable 🙂

I think the degree is good, however i've told them that some of the courses are not about right for cybersecurity

r60 is the degree i am on

http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/computing-it/degrees/bsc-cyber-security-r60

[fervent ferry]

Ah, fancy!

I have no actual work experience in IT, so I’m trying to weigh up either keeping my hopes up and getting a job in the IT department where I work, or trying to go down the degree route

(Personally I’m just tired of failing and paying to retake my A+ exam, but that’s a small vent)

[muted pivot]

you can do the degree part time while finding a job in IT, there's nothing stopping you to be fair. A+ is a good starting certification, try investing more time strengthening your weak areas and revise with some online preps and question dumps. That's how i've passed my ones 🙂

[fervent ferry]

Thanks, I’ve noticed my main weaknesses are mostly in networking and troubleshooting, so I have a starting point (again).

I just need to persevere

[muted pivot]

I know you can do it, it's just a matter of time until you get there, don't lose hope in yourself!

[fervent ferry]

Aww, thank you!
I do have an exam voucher ready to go, so I just need to book a date when I’m ready
I am happier they’re offering the exams online though, I was not looking forward to travelling to take an exam

[muted pivot]

oh, also, being a uni student you get a ton of perks such as exam discounts for comptia (50% off), you get unidays, github pro and a LOT OF BENEFITS

(student in general, in UK i mean, not particularly OU)

[fervent ferry]

I’m in the UK, so that’s really useful!

Just got to find a way to learn that’s not just watching videos or reading. I’d love something that’s more hands-on

[muted pivot]

Apprenticeships are hands on :), if you don't mind me asking where about are you based

[fervent ferry]

Hereford, just south of Birmingham

[muted pivot]

i know a few people that deal with apprenticeships around London, but if it's somewhere else i may be able to find someone to put you in touch with if you are interested

[fervent ferry]

Oh that’s kind of you, thank you.

Where I live is a bit “out in the sticks”

[muted pivot]

you could possibly check with QA, they have some really darn good teachers like: https://twitter.com/APT1337

Ryan Ackroyd (@APT1337)

Teacher. Professional breaker and fixer of things. Quite possibly the friendliest cyber terrorist you will ever meet.

Do you mind if I DM you?

[muted pivot]

Feel free to do so

[fervent ferry]

Wonderful, thanks

[muted pivot]

anytime

[radiant jacinth]

But uni expensive

[fervent ferry]

Yup, it is.

I’d need to save up a bit more

[twin ridge]

Uni was alright in Canada

[radiant jacinth]

Certs >>>>>>>> uni

[twin ridge]

Certs are also expensive

[radiant jacinth]

More worth it then uni

[lilac gust]

I don't think you can make such broad generalizations

[rapid summit]

Uni was good, also for building networks, and not at all expensive. But that varies a lot between countries.

[twin ridge]

It's pretty bad in the US

[rapid summit]

yep. A coworker said he had paid something like three quarters of a million for his kids' education.

[twin ridge]

Ouch

[rapid summit]

But that's California, and it's steep even in US terms.

[twin ridge]

I think I paid about 55k in tuition overall

But I was out of province though

[rapid summit]

I paid 0€ for my degree, and lived mostly by state grant.

[twin ridge]

I was able to pay off my student loans in under a year though

[rapid summit]

And that's the way it is for all the students, not just a chosen few. I had prolly 5k student loan after graduating.

[twin ridge]

I had about 20k

[radiant jacinth]

Hi

[lunar osprey]

IMHO both uni and certs give you proof of worth - degree and certification - but uni gives you more options because you're likely going to learn a breadth of useful things and have a good place to network as well as someone else mentioned.

[twilit parrot]

Sorry if this is off topic, but has anyone completed the OSCP? if so, how long did it take you from starting to learn to completing it?

Just I am trying to get into the field, dabbled a bit and a really enjoy it. But I am going to put my notice in at work to leave (in a year) and was wondering if its achievable to get before I leave.

[meager sleet]

I am curious as to the answer to that question as well, Gent.

[short elk]

it's definitely doable, i failed my first attempt but i really didn't do as much towards it as i should have

but don't be fooled by the 'entry level' tag that comes with it, it is a very difficult exam

[meager sleet]

Thanks for the info!

[twilit parrot]

Thank you, its re-assuring, I know its not an easy task. Just wanted to know if it was even possible.

[daring vapor]

Although there's some truth in the statement, it's just the tip of an iceberg

[short elk]

yeah i know someone that bought it without any prior infosec knowledge and passed it first time, if you're dedicated anything is possible ;)

[daring vapor]

Two most important things:

1. Don't rush to the labs if you're a beginner
2. Have every command and program prepared and tested prior to the exam

[twilit parrot]

Thank you for the help I really appreciate you taking the time to answer

[daring vapor]

No problemo, I also really liked John Hammonds and DarkSecs videos on YouTube about OSCP, you should check them out

[meager sleet]

Thanks, I will bookmark them for when I can watch them 🙂

[timid peak]

It's good! I'd recommend it. Although the CS course isn't accredited yet which is a bummer, I'm gonna chase them up to see if that's changing though. I'm studying AI and robotics at the moment which is cool, programming them using a python environment

[fervent ferry]

Awesome, glad you’re enjoying it so far!

[timid peak]

Thanks by the way for the congrats! 😀

[fervent ferry]

You’re very welcome!

Hey guys. I would like to have a cert to increase my chances of getting a job in security. I already have 3 years of experience as IT administrator.

Do you think that it is better to pass Security+ or Pentest+ (which would take less time to learn, like one month maybe) and then while having one (and potentially job), aim for OSCP?

Maybe it is better not to waste time for CompTIAs but prepare longer instead and try OSCP directly?

Anyone has JNCIA-SEC and can write more how long he spent to learn and pass? Is it doable like in couple of days?

[burnt night]

Sec+ is more wide than OSCP or PT+

[gloomy seal]

I've realized it has more theory though, and is not "ctf-like" as OSCP. I know a person who passed Security+ and now plans to do OSCP.

I am wondering if it is worth doing anything before OSCP or try hard and hit it 🙂

[daring vapor]

If you take your time with the material, OSCP isn't that hard

[tribal heart]

I'm going straight for OSCP... though I've heard oppinions that I should even skip that.. go figure

Still gonna do it, and then start my job search

[daring vapor]

I found the materials pretty cool, they make you understand the basics and it's your job to expand your knowledge from there

[tribal heart]

sure, I understand that. And you get nifty piece of paper saying you can hold out on your own

[daring vapor]

And most importantly... a business card

[tribal heart]

Yeh. I hear OSWE is pretty neat, other than the lackluster lab performance

[daring vapor]

OSEE also looks great

[meager mason]

You get a business card OwO?

[tribal heart]

like that

[daring vapor]

purchases OSCP instantly

[meager mason]

Oh wow.

[muted pivot]

Sec + is pretty basic i would say, i mean it covers a quite good deal of items that are quite important, the exam is rather lacking but exam prep book was hands on good

[meager mason]

Is that the "Exam Objectives" pdf?

[muted pivot]

no, like the exam prep book from amazon lol

i implemented a few things from it in my workplace

but the most i got out of CySA+, not gonna lie, if you want to go down SOC route or management path, CySA+ provides quite a lot of content

[obtuse flower]

[wispy moss]

Hey! guys, I have just stared learning about cyber security, I am thinking to prepare for ceh. Is it a good idea?

[finite turtle]

Most people seem to agree there are better certs than CEH, unless you're looking at a position that expects it

eJPT, OSCP, etc.

[mighty parrot]

@wispy moss ceh is a joke

[wispy moss]

Why so?

[daring vapor]

It's only theory, kind of outdated

Only worth it if you're in India, because they require it in many jobs

[muted pivot]

I have some sort of expectations for CEHv11 ok?

[daring vapor]

sort of

[muted pivot]

The content seems reasonable and up to date

[daring vapor]

I can only give my opinion based on actual things that I can see right now 😄

It's too expensive imo

Compared to eLearn

[muted pivot]

Agreed. I've done the exam and finished it in 30 mins

Yeah. But you have the practical ceh too which is dirt cheap

[daring vapor]

But theory is more recognizable

I'd do CEH just for the clout

[quaint basin]

Have you actually done it yet?...

[mighty parrot]

OSCP is the hardest one in the series what?

Offsec is the hardest in general unless you're onto some obscure exams

[daring vapor]

(The material)

It's nothing you won't understand, the exam is hard ofc

[quaint basin]

Material ain't the exam kiddo 😆

When are you booked in for?

[daring vapor]

April

I'm trying to do school at the same time :/

[daring vapor]

Your "review" was very motivating btw 😄

[quaint basin]

Good luck!
Glad it was useful :)

[twin ridge]

glhfdd

[gloomy seal]

That's what I thought finally. Instead of preparing for Sec+ or Pt+, it is better to use this time for OSCP

[daring vapor]

Every cert is worth it in my opinion, but if you don't want to waste time just go for it

[scarlet moth]

(I don't know about every cert...)

[daring vapor]

True, but isn't knowledge always good?

[scarlet moth]

it is but certs take time and often money, sometimes your time is spent learning a subject vs getting a cert that isn't good (e, g, CEH) or may be a repeat/too much overlap of other certs you have, there are plenty of subjects worth learning that don't have a cert or maybe a cert is a heavy investment, best to learn the subject

certs are really mostly to be a checkbox on a resume, to help your resume look good

like I can tell you, for me, a Sec+, Net+, other various certs would be useless

[daring vapor]

I agree, that's why I wrote that if he doesn't want to waste his time focus on more important things

But some people just have the time/money

[scarlet moth]

but again it depends on your goals, if a cert doesn't align with your goals, you probably should spend time on certs that do

or I should say certs or learning

[daring vapor]

Are you planning on doing any in the near future?

[scarlet moth]

see I don't think people should take advice from me 🙂 because there aren't really any certs that line with my goals... I am studying for OSCP BUT its for 'fun'

I have a warp sense of fun

or people shouldn't follow my lead that is

[lean fjord]

morning zojj

[scarlet moth]

hey hey

[daring vapor]

it's still great to consider the words of someone experienced 😄

[lean fjord]

we talking about certs?

[scarlet moth]

I am considering getting an agile certification too... I have to look into it a bit more, but seems SAFe may be another goal this year

[lean fjord]

you got any cloud ones?

[scarlet moth]

AWS

[lean fjord]

ok

APMP for agile

[scarlet moth]

I haven't even heard of that one

[lean fjord]

prince 2 is ok as well

they're for project management

[twin ridge]

any reason is good 🙂

[daring vapor]

would a cloud cert be considered in a CV for a security job?

[lean fjord]

yup

[twin ridge]

probably tbh

[scarlet moth]

yup

[daring vapor]

which one would you advise (I never had any experience with cloud)

[twin ridge]

at least for an ops side, no?

[scarlet moth]

its one of our struggles is finding people who know cloud

[twin ridge]

AWS is most popular, followed by Azure

[scarlet moth]

nah engineering/architecture too

[twin ridge]

I'd say*

[lean fjord]

get one from the cloud providers like AWS

[daring vapor]

gonna do that after oscp (if I pass), thanks 🙂

[lean fjord]

I know a guy who knows a few guys 😉 😛

[twin ridge]

pretty sure Azure is more popular with the really big boxes

[scarlet moth]

ha ha

AWS is most popular, Azure has gained some

but you learn one, you can easily learn the other

[twin ridge]

yeah they're mostly transferrable outside tooling

[remote echo]

Azure is only really popular for their AD stuff

[twin ridge]

ok the really big companies like it

[autumn trout]

Their logic app is v/ v/ v/ v/ nice

probably the best II've used

Also they have some great AI stuff 😄

[minor nymph]

yo does anyone here use nootropics or have any experience with them?

[remote echo]

@minor nymph Random question, but yes

[radiant jacinth]

Curious of what people think of Kali vs Parrot. I’ve never played around with parrot but I think I’m going to for a couple of weeks and see what I think

[minor nymph]

how did they impact your learning/general hacking?

[patent gate]

They are placebos for the most part. You are better to focus on your lifestyle and general diet

[cedar robin]

I drink vitamin water
It makes my taste buds happy

[steel plover]

I don't know depends on the flavor

[remote echo]

Mostly placebo I mean some of them have some effects but nothing compared to the simplest of things like sleep, food, caffeine, etc.

[minor nymph]

i mean fair enough

[steel plover]

Parrots UI is a little different than kali's but I would put them on the same level for ease of use

[royal fiber]

I feel discouraged recently. Spent some time looking at a site, discovered issues that need action, and their teams are not seeing my email request to forward information about these issues.

Wondering how I should go about this

[spark sun]

Attach monetary value to this issues not getting fixed, if you can

[torpid osprey]

Hi All, is anyone with tryhackme experience free to answer a question or two on how to navigate the website?

[torpid osprey]

How would you recommend to a new user, navigating around the site? How do you find rooms and where to start

[dull glen]

!docs free-path

[deft fossil]

TryHackMe

What rooms should you do? A free guide for beginners

https://blog.tryhackme.com/free_path

From TryHackMe with ❤!

[dull glen]

If you are subscribed you can try learning paths from site.

[lilac gust]

the first few courses on the free path linked above will teach you about the site, after you have done a few rooms, either continue that path or pick something of interest, some rooms require more prior knowledge than others though so the free path is good for this

(as is complete beginner path if you have subscription).

[torpid osprey]

thank you all this is valuable info. really appreciate it

[cedar robin]

My homemade pizza

[uneven oak]

Damn son! Looks great, love a square pie.

Rectangle even...

[patent gate]

Maximises the square meterage of pizza

[cedar robin]

The base is premade from Tesco's but yeah

[twin ridge]

gj

the base is dead simple to make yourself though.
I use ~300g flour, 180mL water, a packet of dry yeast, a bit of olive oil, and about 5-6g of salt.

you basically mix everything together, let it rise for about an hour (or more). Dough should be only slightly sticky, add flour or water to rectify (a pinch at a time)

[serene trench]

I don't think I've ever read a more beautiful sentence in my entire life

[twin ridge]

spread it out by hand (dust your hands in some flour to prevent sticking)

[spark sun]

pizza dough is really easy to over-proof if you are going to hand toss

[twin ridge]

I've found a 5:3 flour:water ratio works best, more flour makes it denser, more water makes it too sticky

[spark sun]

if the dough feels like a cloud, it's going to be really tough to size correctly

[twin ridge]

you can roll it out but it's better by hand

the dough should be somewhat elastic

[steel plover]

that is why you punch your dough during proofing

[spark sun]

the hardest part about hand tossing is the reps needed to not punch big holes in your dough skin

[twin ridge]

you want to get that gluten going

[patent gate]

Aww. This is cute 🙂

[twin ridge]

but hey, figure out what works for you 🙂

[spark sun]

😄 i was a pro once, esqy... decided to give that life up and do IT stuff

[steel plover]

hydra's gotta get his gluten

[twin ridge]

I let it proof in an oven I've warmed up a bit

@steel plover that's what gives the dough its elasticity 🙂

[steel plover]

I know that, but you can do gluten free as well

[twin ridge]

haven't tried a gluten-free pizza, but I can't see it working well

[steel plover]

or go with a more cracker crust type

[spark sun]

gluten free pizzas never taste right - and the crust comes out like a brick more often than not

my sister and several family members have celiac disease - pizza night with them is the worst

[twin ridge]

😦

#tryhackme: come for the hacking, stay for the pizza dough tips

[steel plover]

I have a few family members there as well, makes somethings hard

[spark sun]

there is a special flour (i think it's made from beans?) that gets the taste right, but after 30 minutes out of hte oven, it turns into concrete

[twin ridge]

eat fresh

[spark sun]

part of the fun of family pizza night is grazing while playing board games or doing a puzzle

[twin ridge]

the beans might be able to impart the proteins...

I wonder if adding an egg would help?

[spark sun]

the dough itself is crumbly when you are forming the crust

[twin ridge]

or egg white mostly

[spark sun]

it doesn't quite fall apart, but you can't roll the crust edge or toss it.

[twin ridge]

using rice or corn flour

that sounds like a depressing pizza

[spark sun]

IIRC rice has gluten in it

[twin ridge]

does it?

[spark sun]

everything related to grass does, i think

[twin ridge]

I often see rice flour as a gluten-free alternate

[cedar robin]

Thank you :) I much prefer making the base as well. We usually make our own like that, sometimes with a hint of oregano mixed in

[steel plover]

@patent gate how do you guys do gluten free pizza

[twin ridge]

it's generally wheat, barley, and rye and stuff that has the gluten

[spark sun]

all i know, my sister can't have rice-based food because of her gluten sensitivity

[twin ridge]

fair enough

[patent gate]

Bases are pre-made, and theres a whole procedure - Seperate sauce, spoodle (spreader). We don't allow Gluten toppings at all, and we don't even cut the pizza to avid cross contamination

The member of staff is assigned to that 1 pizza all the way through

And it's sealed with a GF sticker before it leaves the shop

[twin ridge]

yeah it's no joke

[spark sun]

cross contamination can really put the hurt on - like any allergy

[steel plover]

I have been to several places that do the same process, seems like the pre-made dough is a good method even for home cooks that I have heard

[twin ridge]

I think it freezes fairly well

could be wrong, never tried it

[patent gate]

We don't have them right now though, cos of Covid and a reduced menu

That being said, I did order a box of the bases in to buy myself for my Niece

[quaint basin]

Same for the vegan ones I hope 👀

[burnt night]

Esqy!

I managed to get a kilo of 00 flour at Tesco today for 50p

We're doing pizza

[twin ridge]

:o

What's 00 in the french system...

Ah T45 yeah that's super finely ground

[short elk]

zéro zéro

[burnt night]

It's the protein content

[twin ridge]

Yeah but the french measure it differently

[patent gate]

Yes, James 😄

Muir - There are procedures in place, but not as extreme as the GF ones. GF ones have unused utensils cleaned after each pizza. Basically, people can get really really sick if there's Gluten on the pizza. The vegan ones do have seperate utensils like cutters and stuff though

[lunar verge]

It's awesome seeing Bee's "Name That Hash" program in REMnux I used it for the first time today whilst working on a case, and it just works

[autumn trout]

Glad you liked it!!! ❤️ 😄

I released 1.0.0 today so theoretically there no are bugs (or no one has reported any bugs to me hahahaha)

[lunar verge]

Everything worked perfectly for me, so fingers crossed!

[autumn trout]

@lunar verge I have another app that's in super early beta if you wanted to test it? I wrote my own hash lookup DB for it 😄 https://github.com/HashPals/Search-That-Hash

[lunar verge]

Ooooo, I'm down for that. It could be handy for some of our IR automation tools

I'll check it out 👍🏼

anyone here use/tried plum?

[carmine spindle]

Guys it’s free real estate

[gloomy seal]

Hey @quaint basin I've just finished your room - introductory networking - and found it very interesting and well explained. Great job and good quality content. I don't DM you cause it is not allowed 🙂

[autumn trout]

yee

[lyric niche]

this a very quiet conversation

[patent gate]

Hehe, Its a good channel to be in when general goes mad 🙂

[radiant jacinth]

🙃

[twin ridge]

indeed

[patent gate]

@red veldt Please don't Friend request people without asking first (Rule 1)

[red veldt]

My bad😶

[short elk]

how do you find it 👀 i’m looking into using it

[autumn trout]

the money saving app? honestly I'm hardcore and do it by hand now but it looks really good

[short elk]

i was mostly looking into it for its investment feature

[autumn trout]

Just go with Vanguard's LS80 if ya lazy 😄

[visual breach]

@short elk I would just be wary. There's a substantial difference between "making a plan for your retirement" and "thinking you made a plan for your retirement" Sometimes, tools like plum can give you the latter when their goal is to get you to think about the former.

[short elk]

oh yeah definitely, it's not so much a retirement plan for me, just a way to make some extra money from the rounded up excess from purchases

[visual breach]

personally, I use etfs or just index funds for that kind of thing

in terms of "making extra money on chump change"

which is probably what the LS80 is

[short elk]

ye i just don't really know much about da stock market

[visual breach]

that Bee recommends

[north roost]

index funds are the way to go

[finite turtle]

a well-diversified portfolio is the way to go

[autumn trout]

Ls80 is an ETF

[finite turtle]

some stocks, some bonds, some mutual funds, some ETFs, etc

[autumn trout]

It's a Vanguard low-cost ETF consisting of 80% stocks and 20% bonds, people like it as it has growth with stocks but stability with bonds. Although it has a major UK tilt, some investors likes that so they can see how well their portfolio is performing relative to their country

https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/what-we-offer/life-strategy-products

[visual breach]

my wife and I are bigtime Dave Ramsey fans, so we follow his 4 types of Mutual Funds. My main goal is to beat the market, if only just and I seem to be doing that.

[scarlet moth]

I personally like ETFs but I have a mix, ETFs, managed stock funds and Mutual funds

[untold bear]

I personally like my tendies

[autumn trout]

I actually used to invest a lot, but I'm far too poor to do that. It negatively effected my life very badly and since I stopped I've managed to invest in myself (books, courses etc) which rn, in this stage of my career, is probably a much wiser investment than my yearly +7% on my minimal investments

[hardy notch]

voice to text?

[finite turtle]

yeah, investing is important but should never take away from your needs, including self-care and self-improvement

that being said, 7% a year really isn't bad gains. Not great, but not bad, and even starting with a few hundred and contributing slowly, the earlier you start saving for retirement the better.

compound interest is the long game

@patent gate pizza

My GF got her dough stretched better, but I used my cast iron like a pizza stone so I got a nice crispy bottom and sides

[odd acorn]

mmmmm pizza

[patent gate]

Minus the onions, then Nom!

[amber karma]

Onions are love

[patent gate]

It's a preference :p

[twin ridge]

gotta caramelize them onions first 🙂

[strong swift]

of course

[radiant jacinth]

Hey guys! Im new to this server

How is everyone?

[maiden urchin]

Good, how are you?

[radiant jacinth]

good

[lunar osprey]

Damn I missed the discussion about ETFs

[zinc olive]

why the badges in the public profile is not showing correctly?

[finite turtle]

I think they're revamping part of how those work at the moment

[finite turtle]

Apparently someone hasn't gotten enough attention today, so now my lap has been commandeered.

[vestal parrot]

you are not allowed to move.

[radiant jacinth]

Wasn't sure where to post, just wanted to say I absolutely love the attack box! I wish ya'll had a downloadable vm of that! ❤️

[patent gate]

You can just download all of the tools for it and add to your own

[radiant jacinth]

Yea that's true xD

[amber karma]

It's ubuntu with a bit of customisation 🙂 pretty sure cmnatic made it

[radiant jacinth]

Yea, I love it ❤️

[patent gate]

Also in that time, you also levelled up! Nice one, Ry 🙂

[radiant jacinth]

Thank you!

[ruby knot]

Can anyone please help me out with conversion of modules from drupal 7 to 8

[quaint basin]

I made it originally, but CMN maintains it.
It's an Ubuntu 18.04.5 server with MATE installed over LightDM, iirc.
Unfortunately there aren't actually any ISOs available now @𝚁̲𝚢̲#1337. I have the original, but it's very outdated now.

[lunar verge]

Does anyone know if a Volatility profile for Server 2019 is available / in the works?

[remote echo]

Pretty sure there’s already one out? I just push my profiles automatically I don’t really pay attention to them

[lunar verge]

Just 2016 😦

[remote echo]

It can probably work with 2012 or 2016

pretty positive most of the backend stuff is built off 2016 anyways

[lunar verge]

I'll give it a shot later. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[lunar verge]

I gave the 2016 plugin a shot and it was a bit hit and miss. Volatility didn't complain, but it didn't parse as much data as expected

Nevermind then 😄 It wouldn't be fun if it was easy

[radiant jacinth]

Thank you

[remote echo]

You can try making your own profile I don’t believe it’s super hard but not sure for Windows

[onyx quartz]

yesterday i killed my whole network while failing at implementing VLANs (i didnt make backups for firewall configuration)

fml

[twin ridge]

oof

[radiant jacinth]

I need help i don t know how reinstall windows. I know that it seems stupid but i can not format the hard disk in a secure way how can help me?

who can help me?

[celest cairn]

Disk based forensics is pretty tough, even on a wiped disk with a new OS living on it. Any particular reason you need it securely wiped?

[spark sun]

If you need to 'clean' the disk, look up DoD 3-pass using an ubuntu live USB. Can you define what you mean by 'secure'? Is there a list of requirements you have, or is this more abstract?

[finite turtle]

DBAN is also a very simple bootable option with secure wipe capabilities.

[spark sun]

I've had... odd experiences with the last few versions of DBAN. Like UEFI/MBR not writing correctly, even with dd. For me, it's simpler to just make a bootable USB of some flavor and make a enough passes with dd to be confident the data is not recoverable

[radiant jacinth]

I think you mean this

https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase

Good luck

You can use sanitize as well for SSD's usually sufficient.

[short elk]

😔

[serene trench]

Oh you wanna see a panic at the cisco?

Take a look at any ASA 😉

[short elk]

please no

used acs with a bajillion devices and it took no joke about 10 minutes to update a device's mac

[celest cairn]

sh int ip brief!

[cinder spoke]

@vital glacier I deleted your last post as it hits on rule 2

[vital glacier]

It's not really a drama but whatever

[merry path]

Hey all - I'm looking for some advice on how to proceed / what to do next. I've completed AoC2 and just finished the Complete Beginner Path 😅
...
My goal is to work up to the OSCP eventually; and I'm not quite sure where to go next. I was looking at the Offensive Cyber Path, but was thinking I might want to learn some more python / webexploitation first --- or maybe that would be covered in there.

I'm at a loss - any advice from some more experienced folk?

[patent gate]

Get on the offensive path, I'd say.

[small bridge]

I went for web first and then offensive once I got more knowledge on what to look and how to explore them

[short elk]

i forgot to include page links when creating this design

and i don't wanna put them at the very top like a typical nav

anyone know where they can go to keep a very minimalist design

[fallow drum]

Why is it in Latin?

[short elk]

i'm a part of the roman empire

[vestal parrot]

its just dummy text

[fallow drum]

Ah ok

[twin ridge]

Loren Ipsum is fake Latin filler

Commonly used as placeholder text

[north roost]

fun fact I learned the other day with Microsoft Word if you go into a doc and type =rand(x) and hit enter, you can generate x lines of lorem ipsum text

[daring vapor]

was it an accident or ...?

[north roost]

nope! saw it during a meeting with some vendor who used it to generate dummy text for something on the fly

[autumn trout]

designer for your profile pic?

[short elk]

my friend <3 here is her insta if you wanna see more / commission: https://www.instagram.com/lilexstella/ :)

[merry path]

If you want good mobile readability (kinda a big deal these days), I think you're basically stuck with top or bottom. You could have a separate mobile page and put the desktop nav buttons on the left or right sides if you want... but you're probably better going with what looks pretty industry standard these days and having a three lines / three dots expandable menu that collapses when not needed.

To make it 'minimalistic' I would adjust your nav bar's appearance on the top or bottom --- transparent, simple line foreground art icons on single color background. i.e. - envelope for email, etc...

so maybe a drop away menu implemented like those news sites, but with a minimalism icon set pictured on: https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/minimalistic-design-icon-sets/

Just my thoughts of course. Totally your call.

[short elk]

@merry path thank you for all that !! <3 i will use those and consider which is the most appealing

[finite turtle]

Be sure to honor the license! Free stuff very often requires attribution

[merry path]

@short elk What polarbear said - I was referring to the style as an example, but if you are looking at a specific icon-set there, make sure to check the license!

[hasty atlas]

anybody up for quiet conversation rn?

[azure trench]

Hello Friends! I was wondering if you all had any thoughts on when you think it's time to look up a writeup vs trying to power through (keep trying OSCP style). I often think I am ready to go headlong into a CTF, then I get stuck, get frustrated, cave, then look up a walkthrough. I feel like I do learn when I lookup walkthroughs, and I suppose there is a reason people post them, although I do feel guilty sometimes looking them up. I feel like I am depriving myself of a chance to learn the hard way, and I am teaching myself to use walkthroughs as a crutch when I get stuck, a crutch I will not have in "real life" work. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts.

[daring vapor]

Try to build up fundamentals first, by doing paths on THM, or other "basic" stuff. Then I'd suggest to start watching a lot of IPSecc videos and make solid notes from them, same with CTF's. It's going to reinforce your foundations and allow you to complete more challenges yourself. There's nothing wrong in using writeups, as long as you learn from them!

[short elk]

does this look weird? because the width of the left nav is more than the right nav, my logo doesn't look aligned in the center

should i make the right nav the same width as the left one? increasing the spacing between each logo, but meaning the logo looks centered as the left margin of the right nav will be aligned as the same as the right margin of the left nav

[remote echo]

Why is the nav bar like that anyways

[short elk]

like what

[remote echo]

it’s going to make all of your spacing look wonky the way it’s just randomly in the middle

[short elk]

i’ve made the width of the body 50%

to put everything in the middle with 25% whitespace on the outside

it’s how i want it

[remote echo]

I would get rid of the white space myself your responsiveness is going to be wack and the spacing is going to be wack

[short elk]

i’ve done all the media queries, everything works on all devices as i want it to

when the width gets a little smaller, the body is 75% so its all good

this is when it hits < 768px

[lilac gust]

it looks good, off center-ish but nice layout all that white is hard on my eyes in a dark world however -.-

[short elk]

yeah i've lightened up the background

not lightened, erm, dulled? it's now an off white colour

i would prefer a dark theme too but the logo doesn't look nice on it unfortunately

[radiant jacinth]

How does it look on mobile?

I usually compare on mobile, and on browser at 50% and at full screen

[unreal falcon]

That's whack. I'm just getting filler text and not lorem ipsum

The command is apparently =lorem(x)

[compact mesa]

[north roost]

rand works for me among others while lorem doesn't so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[short elk]

got rid of the icons and the width is at 95%

[visual breach]

I like that the content of the site is lorem ipsum

[cedar robin]

I like it Jake

[short elk]

thank you tuxyyy

this is the finished desktop version now

[visual breach]

still really a fan of the content. I will be sad when it changes

[short elk]

maybe i'll keep it just for you

[visual breach]

dances

[short elk]

maybe you'll like my dancing pepe website

[twin ridge]

dark mode?

[short elk]

https://smag.lol

[visual breach]

if you are in info security, isn't osint a problem, meaning using lorem ipsum content is a security measure! reaches for straws

[short elk]

dark mode doesn't look nice with the logo unfortunately

[twin ridge]

dark mode logo!

[short elk]

it's just the colour i think

maybe i can find a complimentary yellow colour for dark mode

[cedar robin]

Pizza attempt #2
Now with home made base. One kinda deep dish and a blob

[radiant jacinth]

Looks great!

[twin ridge]

mmm

[short elk]

thanks :) i'm still making some minor adjustments but pretty much will still thew same

[short elk]

🤤 you didn't invite me for pizza party 😔

[cedar robin]

You're always welcome Jakey

[patent gate]

I like the Blob pizza

[hard gazelle]

Demae Itcho!!

nice toppings🤤

[burnt night]

Nissin Damae is my fav instant

[rapid summit]

I got some Korean noodles from a nearby asian food store. They hurt. Twice.

[dull glen]

Ramen

[hard gazelle]

I recommend Sapporo Ichiban Ramen.

[dull glen]

Pack of 24 for like $140 on Amazon here.

[hard gazelle]

Wow😫

[dull glen]

Meanwhile small one packet of Maggy is for like $0.069.

[burnt night]

This was like $1.30 usd

My usual nissin is like $0.65

[hard gazelle]

looks the same price as in Japan.

[dull glen]

I guess it's imported that's why the price is high.

[coarse vigil]

If you have a chance of buy no instant ramen you should do it

You feel your lighther then instant one when you finish your bowl

[hard gazelle]

I heard Japanese famous Ramen restaurant Ippudo is in UK and FR.

[coarse vigil]

Thats the ramen i do each week (arpox)

[hard gazelle]

hmm, in London. https://www.ippudo.co.uk/

[twin ridge]

Ah darn it's in Paris

[strong swift]

it’s totally worth it
