I got a pi for Christmas, still not sure what I want to do with it yet. I was thinking it would be cool to stuff like hardware hacking with it. I've heard of people hacking cars with them and stuff. Then I realized I needed a car to hack, beside my old Ford

[steel plover]

there are thousands of PI projects, they keep on seeming to pop up

[north roost]

i think any sort of embedded system that interfaces with some GPIO sensor is a good project to start with for Pis

[tawdry dove]

I'm slowly working through to create a custom timelapse rig with my pi. I have it connected to an A7ii and using it to control the shutter

I still have to do some testing but I should be able to control everything besides the focus as I don't have any AF lenses lol

Eventually a sliding rail will be added as well as some LIDAR and maybe a sonar element to track subjects through the timelapse

[remote sail]

Two good uses for a pi: a PiHole, and a PiCade (RetroPi)

[potent isle]

Also a portable kali pi, but its better if you got an screen

The complete kit for a portable kali pi, is a rpi, screen (touch is better) a case for your rpi, a foldable keyboard and a power bank

I’ve made a portable kali pi, and i like it a lot, still cant use it outside from my house, but meh, still like it

[winter wharf]

Why we’re not allow to post pics pls?

guys i found him now

[graceful tinsel]

omg

[tawdry dove]

What. The. Duck. I just sat through an hour of DC traffic to pick up what I thought would be my complete glasses order. I got a text saying that my order had arrived and was ready for pickup. No. They send you a text and email PER ITEM🤬

[scarlet moth]

why your eye glass place so far away

[remote sail]

Why are they shipping it separately? Ordering glasses from Ikea? Self assembly required?

[scarlet moth]

although I shouldn't speak, I'm driving almost an hour to go to a dentist next week 😦

[remote sail]

good dentists are worth a drive, imo

[quaint basin]

@scarlet moth @remote sail probably better shifting here 🙂

[scarlet moth]

yes

also, some lemon juice or orange juice in a tofu marinade is good

[quaint basin]

Aye, no personal chef I don't think -- I like cooking, but not that much

[remote sail]

I was surprised you didn't hit the off-topic button an hour ago, Muiri. You're usually on that 🙂

[quaint basin]

Yeah, I've tried orange tofu -- it's an interesting taste. Definitely not unpleasant though

Meh, we're keeping stuff relaxed just now 🤷‍♂️

[radiant jacinth]

uhh i think someone posted a crash gif in general

[quaint basin]

On it

[scarlet moth]

seriously, if I had lots of money, like millions of dollars, I'd totally hire a chef

[radiant jacinth]

thx

[remote sail]

oh absolutely

[scarlet moth]

full time live in chef is my money dream

[remote sail]

100%

well, not live-in

[scarlet moth]

maybe someone could drop off food daily, I dunno

[remote sail]

but someone to come cook and prep, in coordination with my nutritionist and trainer, sure

[scarlet moth]

you can get some home delivery stuff that is pretty close to that these days but I wanna be like 'hey I'm feeling like... ' and get it

[remote sail]

yeah

just have them come by every day at the same time. Or get em a pager

totally doing that when I win the lotto

[quaint basin]

Aha, yeah, that's the dream

[remote sail]

I want a bigger gym too. Maybe someday

[scarlet moth]

I want like the Rock's gym

[remote sail]

I haven't seen it. got a pic?

[scarlet moth]

some people want pools with their homes, I want a huge ass gym

[remote sail]

I converted the biggest room in my house to a gym. Spent maybe 20k? ish?

commercial gym floor, the whole deal.

[scarlet moth]

maybe his isn't his own personal gym but anytime he posts pictures on Instagram, it is just him in it

[remote sail]

I'd love a treadpool, tbh.

It probably IS his own gym. He could afford to spend a few mill for that

[scarlet moth]

https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjTOBAFBzn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

yeah but its kind of weird that it really looks like a commercial gym, not so much that pic

but like this one... has multiple benches, like maybe he would use multiple benches https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxuvSaLRH9/

[tawdry dove]

Its not. It's half an hour but I hit construction, a rolling roadblock, a hearse with a 30 motorcycle cop escort, and 3 accidents

[scarlet moth]

its almost like he bought a commercial gym for his own use

[scarlet moth]

boo, maybe I'll see the eye doctor this year

[remote sail]

So I don't have instagram, but yeah, I could totally see a need for multiple benches

heck, I have two (granted, I want to get rid of one because I don't have space for two, but)

[scarlet moth]

I wish there was a way to share pictures outside of instagram

[remote sail]

I want to get more dumbbells, tbh. That and a good gym mirror might be my next big investments there

If you're on windows, win-shift-s to screenshot, and copy/paste

[scarlet moth]

oh duh one sec

I wasn't even thinking a screenshot

multiple benches

[remote sail]

oh that's totally a home gym

[tawdry dove]

Look up "quadzilla cyclist"

[remote sail]

I know the exact floor tiles he is using

[scarlet moth]

that first picture makes me believe its a home gym, this second one I had doubts but the polynesian flag of the first one is like uhh yeah

[remote sail]

If you're into fitness, check out athleanx.com. I love his programs. Good Youtube channel too

[tawdry dove]

They aren't as defined in this photo but it was the first one lol

[burnt night]

Didn't skip leg day for sure

[scarlet moth]

yeah that quad photo of the Rock, my husband sent me that one the other day

let me tell you, I totally missed anything else in that picture than the quads

[remote sail]

when your quads are bigger than your head, you've done something either very wrong, or very right 🤔

[tawdry dove]

I've got big quads, but these dudes have continent sized quads

All of the cyclists do

[remote sail]

as a former ironman and ultramarathoner and someone who has put a lot of miles/time in on both... those legs aren't natural

[quaint basin]

How did this go from lovely vegan food to cyclists' quads..?

[scarlet moth]

ha ha

sorry talking about the gym, then the rock's gym

[quaint basin]

I step out for five minutes to deal with a crash GIF smh

[remote sail]

speaking of, what was the story with that?

[tawdry dove]

I mean don't you have to go to 75th place in the Tour De France to get the first person who isn't doping?

[scarlet moth]

Athlean-x looks interesting... I've been looking for a workout for women that wasn't baby weights

[tawdry dove]

Isn't athlean-x in some controversy right now?

[remote sail]

I can't speak to his women program. But honestly, if you've done crossfit, any of his program would work for you

is it? I haven't heard

[tawdry dove]

It might be him but I think it was about peddling bogus material and claiming to be natty?

And a large portion of the fitness Youtube/other communities basically told him to stop

[remote sail]

I think people have claimed he's on steroids or whatever, for a long time. Personally, I don't think so. But having done his programs for like... 6-7yrs or so, I can tell you, they work

I'm wondering if maybe you are thinking of someone else, Moose

[tawdry dove]

Maybe I'll Google when I get home

[remote sail]

He's pretty well respected, from what I've seen

Yeah, I'm genuinely curious. If you find out, let me know.

[tawdry dove]

I still can't decide if nick bare is natty. I'm leaning towards definite no at this point

[scarlet moth]

well I'm getting my vaccine tomorrow, if I feel ok, maybe order it or else wait til the vaccine sickness wears off

[remote sail]

I'd be happy to chat and answer questions or even show you some of the program content if you want

Not affiliated with them or getting a kickback or anything, just happy with the products I've purchased

[scarlet moth]

for the women's program, there are video clips

[remote sail]

I've heard the women's program was a little disappointing for some. I haven't seen it personally

[scarlet moth]

oh boo

[tawdry dove]

I've been happy with Soflete. That's what I'm using. It's an app with workouts and nutrition. They have women's portions in there too

[scarlet moth]

well I'll look, honestly I put lifting on the back burner cuz I started running again

and my legs and abs have been so sore from running

[tawdry dove]

Basically the only difference is weight and also height for jumps and raised lifts

[remote sail]

The thing I like about the A-X programs is that it's not just about 'lifting weights', it's about building functional strength, so it's a lot of multi-plane movements

[tawdry dove]

Same with Soflete lol

Ive done some weird ass movements

[remote sail]

how $$ is it?

[scarlet moth]

I was also looking at renaissance periodization, but I dunno, I did their at home program before and liked it

[tawdry dove]

$30 a month for workouts, nutrition, and supplemental modules

[remote sail]

well like I said, I'd be happy to show you around the portal and some of the programs, you can decide if it's what you're looking for

[scarlet moth]

yeah I'll look into a bit and let you know

[remote sail]

the A-X programs are usually like $80-100 for a 90 day program

but with lifetime access

and for ab work, he has an app that's probably the best $6 I've ever spent

workouts are usually about 6-8 minutes long. I don't think I've ever in my life done a full workout without dropping a rep.

[tawdry dove]

So this is what they call a quick view, the actual workout has boxes that you check and fill in weights but this is what I have tomorrow. I'm on a bodybuilding cycle and this picture crops the stamina portion of the workout as well.

[remote sail]

One of the things that I like about A-X, which I kinda thought was stupid at first, is the walkthrough videos. He has a "long" full workout walkthrough video each day (no more than say 6-8 minutes, tops, just demo'ing each exercise and what to focus on/feel/etc), but also a mini clip next to each exercise in the display, so you can scroll down and watch like a 15 second reminder for the form

and he talks about the keys for the exercises, how to do it with the proper form, etc. I found that useful.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah if you click into the workout Soflete made a bunch of videos of the exercises

[tawdry dove]

It seems he is being accused of using fake weights lol

Didn't expect that one

[remote sail]

oh, he mentioned that in some vid a while back. I don't want to make it seem like I'm defending him, and I have no connection to him, and I don't know the truth. But what I CAN say is this: I do believe he's legit. And just me personally, I've used several of his programs, bought several more that I've yet to use, and have been a happy customer

I think the 'fake weights' thing came from his demo videos. Lemme find the link.

I can't find it right now, but I'll keep looking. Bottom line, I think he makes good programs. And as someone who has had a LOT of injuries from various sports/etc. over the years, I appreciate the "injury-prooofing" in the A-X programs. That alone is with gold to me.

[inner aurora]

Is soflete more geared towards CrossFit or strength training?

[scarlet moth]

Muiri, I know its simple but I'm making roasted asparagus...

[quaint basin]

Oooh

Have you tried seared asparagus?

[scarlet moth]

no, but that sounds yum

[steel plover]

do you do your seared asparagus under the broiler or on a grill

[lilac gust]

i don't cook much or often but i do like asparagus with a little oil and salt on a skillet

[inner aurora]

You think it’d be good on a griddle?

[lilac gust]

well, the skillet having the divets kind of helps with the texture and avoids burning the entire thing

[scarlet moth]

sure, I just put some olive oil and soy sauce and put it in the toaster oven

[steel plover]

I like the little oil and salt, but on the grill is my favorite method

[inner aurora]

We got rid of our grill and got a black stone. I’ll have to try it tho

[tawdry dove]

Has different "teams". There's raw strength, bodybuilding, running, mobility and stretching, etc

You then choose a category and there are programs that you can select from and they tell you the function of the program. Mass increase, muscle imbalance correction, speed, stability, etc

A cycle will generally be be 12 weeks

[lilac gust]

sounds like you have done a lot of running, how long did you traing before your first marathon, and what shape were you in to begin with? I'm going running right now and will bbl but interested to hear about it

[scarlet moth]

all my friends who have done Marathons have said never again...

I'm doing a (virtual) 10k in July

[remote sail]

maybe a few years from starting running to doing my first full? Plus a few more years to doing my first ultra?

there was a time I was doing a marathon (or more) 5-6 days a week

[scarlet moth]

I just like running, its fun and meditative

[quaint basin]

It is sooooooo good

Just in a saute pan with a lid on, a tiny amount of oil, and some salt

[remote sail]

Yep, exactly :). Don't bring music or anything, just enjoy being out there

[quaint basin]

Turn it occasionally and let it brown up

[tawdry dove]

Running hurts

With my flipper feet

[steel plover]

unless you need to run from a moose

[remote sail]

it can, yes. At this point, I've put so many miles on my knees, I don't run much anymore. Plus injuries from skydiving, skiing, etc.

[tawdry dove]

I can swim really fast

Running not so much

[remote sail]

running was my favorite discipline within triathlon. Even though I love the water.

you learn a lot about yourself when you've been moving for a few hours. And are just getting started 🙂

[steel plover]

https://tenor.com/view/chris-evans-wood-rip-strong-ripped-gif-8668757

with all the healthy eating and exercise, this is going to be THM soon

[remote sail]

ngl, I wish I had that physique.

[tawdry dove]

Staring off into space 3 miles into a ruck

Do duh Doo da dooo

[remote sail]

3 miles aint even warmed up yet

[tawdry dove]

I know

Then you hit 6 and go "this sucks", 8 is "fml", and then 10 you get a resurgence and feel like you can do another 10

[remote sail]

when I was doing marathons, I'd usually hit a wall in the low 20s. Mile 22 or so. And sometimes somewhere in the teens.

after that, it's just suffering, tbh. I've done a few 50 milers. They hurt. A lot.

[tawdry dove]

I just watched a doc on Leadville. That looks brutal

[remote sail]

rucking was harder for me. The weight on the shoulders/back killed

[tawdry dove]

36 hours of running

[scarlet moth]

I’m slow but still like running

[remote sail]

I have a friend who has done leadville. She says it sucks, but it's beautiful

[remote sail]

I'm slow too. It's not about speed for me- just go enjoy it

[tawdry dove]

Leadville is a 100 miler in Colorado for anyone who isn't familiar

[scarlet moth]

Yeah I read Born to Run

[remote sail]

oh if you want running books, I can go over to my bookshelf and get you a few good ones

[tawdry dove]

I refrained from crass jokes lol

[scarlet moth]

I’m fascinated by ultra running even if I know it’s not for me

[remote sail]

don't be so sure

tbh, some of the best ultra runners I know are women

again, it's really not about speed- you're competing against yourself. And it's (at least for me) entirely about the mental game, and figuring out how to push yourself way past failure

seems women tend to be better at that than most men

I've heard a lot of people say that it relates to childbirth, too, that somehow women are better able to turn off those parts of the brain that every ultra runner knows

[tawdry dove]

Speaking of endurance
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/22/sports/row-atlantic-ocean-jasmine-harrison.html

Then you have the dudes that rowed to Antarctica too

[remote sail]

^^ she's a badass. I only know a tiny bit about the story. But my hat's off to her.

[tawdry dove]

70 days just in your own mind. I'd have to find a volleyball

[remote sail]

wilson!

I'm not sure if this lady had a support crew with her or not, but regardless, that's a monumental achievement

I saw a short video of her stepping onto land for the first time, she didn't know how to walk anymore.

[tawdry dove]

I would assume so

Im crying after 30 minutes on the rowing machine. This is just incredible

[remote sail]

yeah, I got a water rower to replace my running and cycling. Better workout, better for my body

I can't imagine doing that for, say, 8 hours. Let alone 8 hours/day for 70 days

[tawdry dove]

I'm waiting for that stimmy and tax return and then I'm going to buy a bike

[remote sail]

I got a tri bike I'll sell ya 🙂 carbon fiber and super light

[tawdry dove]

Nah lol

I'm probably going to buy a mountain bike and then just get a direct drive if I want to cycle

That way I can have a good weekday cycle during work and then go have fun on the weekends

[remote sail]

whatever works for you 🙂

I wish I liked cycling more. After what I spent on that bike...

[tawdry dove]

Well i need to stop procrastinating and actually study for sec+ so I've got to go

[remote sail]

have fun 🙂

[remote sail]

I don't know what that is. But the furble is cute 🙂

[still maple]

It's a pokemon 🙂

[sonic lark]

what pokemon is that?

[still maple]

appletun! I put him in my line up as soon as I saw him in game

[sonic lark]

looks like a big green cheeseburger lol

[still maple]

lol yeah maybe not the best angle

def look like a burger in this one

[sonic lark]

lol yea

or a booger

[still maple]

a cute booger

[sonic lark]

have a better angle? not sure i can agree on cute

that lightning makes it look fat lol

[still maple]

oh its fat alright

[sonic lark]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-4303267

[tawdry dove]

I wouldn't put it past Pokémon to make a Burger Pokémon

[remote sail]

"does this lighting make me look fat"
"no, your fat makes you look fat"

[tawdry dove]

Call it Borgasaur or something

[sonic lark]

^

[tawdry dove]

They literally made a refrigerator pokemon

[remote sail]

and now we're back to the food channel 😆

[sonic lark]

speaking of food, i shall return

[still maple]

https://tenor.com/view/milk-and-mocha-ahahah-lol-lolol-laughing-gif-11455721

Speaking of food I got back from Leavenworth and I ate soooo much red cabbage lol

schnitzel!

[tawdry dove]

What were you in for?

[still maple]

oh just a trip to go hiking, slowest season too right now so not crowded in town at all.

[tawdry dove]

Leavenworth is a military prison

[still maple]

ahhhh your wording makes sense now

[tawdry dove]

I would assume it's also a town name where you are

[still maple]

lol yes yes, german inspired town in Washington st haha

[tawdry dove]

Ahh. Apparently there is a Bavarian esque town near me

[still maple]

oh nice, maybe they'll have bratwurst yum

[lilac gust]

wow that's so much time commitment i barely have an hour for running 5x a week i can't imagine running that many hrs a day consistently

I was debating on if I could do a Marathon in September from now but I think I'll just sign up for the half and do the marathon next year

[tawdry dove]

I think most plans have you start preparing about a year out? Maybe shorter though

[lilac gust]

the one I am going to follow is 14 weeks prep for a half marathon

[still maple]

Oh speaking of marathons/running etc have you guys tried the conqueror virtual challenges? You get these cool metals afterwards

https://www.theconqueror.events/

[lilac gust]

it does assume a certain level of fitness already but I have that I think

[tawdry dove]

I think i saw one that was 6 months

[still maple]

I'm doing the mt fuji one currently

[lilac gust]

is that an app?

looks like it, I use the nike app, really like it

[still maple]

yeah, you download their app once you pick a challenge. It's pretty fun

[lilac gust]

it does look like a cool idea, I imagnie if I had to run on a treadmill a lot I'd want some screen with cool scenery around maybe an app like this

[sonic lark]

https://tenor.com/view/willem-dafoe-laugh-crazy-car-close-up-gif-12180194

that had too be the best thing i've read all day

[remote sail]

I was basically a professional athlete at that point in my life

[still maple]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-dumb-you-gif-8906255

^ me

[lilac gust]

yeah sounds like it, haha

[tawdry dove]

I guess that's why the cycling community likes zwift

That and the competition

[remote sail]

What's your longest distance ever?

[lilac gust]

12.5kms or something

maybe a little less, over 12, under 13

[remote sail]

I noticed that as well and didn't want to ask

[remote sail]

So 12km is about 7.5mi, less than 1/3 a marathon

different people will tell you different things about how to train for it. What's your current running schedule like? how many days per week, what distances each day?

[lilac gust]

when i just do my own thing i do around 20-25kms a week, 4-5k's a run, (australia so K's)

[tawdry dove]

I remember I when I ran 24 miles in a week. I thought I was going to die

[remote sail]

so like a 5k, 5x a week?

[lilac gust]

yep, though I just did the first week of this 14 week plan

and I've tried this plan before but I bombed out with a foot injury

[remote sail]

so it's POSSIBLE to go from that to a marathon by september, but honestly, I think you'd be risking injury. Especially if you have a history of injury

[sonic lark]

i walk a lot, not much of a runner though. But i have walked a few too many miles in my days

[remote sail]

You'd be better off setting a goal of a half marathon for september, which is still a pretty big thing to work up to

[lilac gust]

yeah look I'll play it safe and train for the half, I'm not actually prone to injury just last october I trod on something and kept running thinking it was just a random pain

[remote sail]

and I say this as someone who has broken feet, ankles, ruptured achilles tendons, and more.

[sonic lark]

those are the ones which hurt the most too

[lilac gust]

but it was actually more likely a small fracture lol

[remote sail]

soft tissue takes longer to heal

[sonic lark]

good thing you can still walk

i wouldn't an couldn't do the pain of a ruptured achillies tendon

[remote sail]

that was probably one of my more stupid stubborn moments.

[tawdry dove]

I slipped off a mountain and tore both my patellars. Not all the way through thankfully

[sonic lark]

an must've hurt also

[remote sail]

in my younger years, I absolutely refused to quit. And I destroyed my body many times with that mindset until I grew a brain and started being smarter about things

[tawdry dove]

Went and played volleyball afterwards and let me just say it didn't feel great lol

[sonic lark]

ouh that sounds bad also, wtf are you peopling doing? living such dangerous lifes lol

i break nothing, i hermit my life

[remote sail]

Ex military. Special operations. Rock climber, skydiver, BASE jumper, ultra-runner, skier, cave diver, you name it.

[tawdry dove]

I just have bad luck on mountains or non flat terrain

[remote sail]

I thought moose were like goats, just bigger?

[tawdry dove]

🤷‍♂️ I've also had a couple of concussions recently. One from rugby and then another, on a mountain, by skiing off an unmarked cliff on a green trail

[remote sail]

https://i.natgeofe.com/n/c864b2ea-da26-4b2a-8ab6-52d832ef2dc0/5585182.jpg

[remote sail]

Don't go off trail. But on a green, how the heck did you manage to do that?

[tawdry dove]

I was skiing and then all of a sudden I was in the air, and then I was in the ground

One of the only times I've done a full body check over

[tawdry dove]

I was on trail that's the fucked part

[remote sail]

I once took a hard fall on a double black doing about 45mph. Slid the rest of the way down the mountain on my back/head/upside down

we're talking US, right- green is the lowest rank. In europe and elsewhere they do it differently

[sonic lark]

interesting, i've thought about the military path. just did bad choices an didn't finish school when i was younger. bad mistake on my part, Never too late too go back, Just not something I think i want too do honestly

[tawdry dove]

It was literally an unmarked 8 foot drop. Yeah in VT

I was within the trail boundaries too and I know this because they literally had the trail roped in

[remote sail]

I don't know how the heck they managed that. Usually greens are pretty noob friendly, and are very well travelled. I'd be pissed at the owners/management

I mean, I've been on double blacks that don't have drops like that

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i pretty much knew immediately I was concussed

[remote sail]

I've lost track of how many of those I've had

[tawdry dove]

Got onto the lift to go round again and half way up the lift I felt like I was going to vomit

The rugby one I legit just smacked the side of my head into the crown of my teammates head

[remote sail]

yeah, I beat the absolute snot out of my body when I was your age

[tawdry dove]

As much as YOLO is a meme it's absolutely true

Why not get great stories and experiences out of it

[remote sail]

dozens of broken bones. Maybe close to a dozen concussions. One coma. Multiple dislocations (ankles, knees, shoulders), ruptured achilles, etc.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah you're just dumb or a psychopath

[remote sail]

stupid. And stubborn.

[tawdry dove]

Lol

Ngl gym in the morning might be better than gym in the evening

[remote sail]

depends if you're a morning person. I'm not.

but I used to looooove early morning runs before the world woke up

[tawdry dove]

I'm not either but I'm forcing myself up at 5am to go to the gym

Get it out of the way and then also start telework earlier

[remote sail]

good for you

make that a habit 🙂

[tawdry dove]

I've only done it for one day so 27 more to go for a habit

[remote sail]

carrot and stick. Find what motivates you 🙂

[azure trench]

Guy's I've been running one WPScan with a password brute force on the Mr.Robot room for 2 1/2 hours... and it's 40 % done. It's killing me

[sonic lark]

yoooo thats dedication, no dedicated gpu?

i actually read that as 21 an a half hours, but two hours is still brutal

[rapid summit]

Would GPU help with brute forcing logins?

[sonic lark]

yea gpu is faster for cracking

[rapid summit]

For online logins, which is what WPScan does, AFAIK?

[rapid summit]

Also, you're probably taking the wrong path if it takes long 🙂

[dry aspen]

Cluster attack with zap 😂

[sonic lark]

i need too do more owasp stuff, i read wps as network wps

so yea no, withdrawal what i said about gpu lol

Check out the blog

You have a couple posts you could read: How to get into Cyber Security and What rooms should you do? A free guide for beginners

[patent gate]

And have a look at #start-here

[magic bolt]

start with learning linux and try hack me is a good place for that

[vagrant harbor]

Okay

Let me see thanks

[winged moon]

what happens behind the scenes when one launches a machine?

[burnt night]

An EC2 instance is deployed from the image stored on THM, then you get given the IP.

[winged moon]

so there is some cloud formation template ? autoscaling group? yaml stuff? or ?

[autumn trout]

Yes, the image is stored as an AMI and when you click launch, it launches it

no yaml or cloudformation or autoscaling for the average room I believe

just an API call

when you convert in the thm upload, it's converting to ami image :-)

[winged moon]

so there is a javascript function which sends a request to the api gateway of the tryhackme aws organization which then deploys the image and returns the allocated IP within the thm vpn ..

[autumn trout]

@winged moon There is a function that sends a request to AWS which deploys it, and that function reads the deployed IP address.

That IP address is in the virtual private cloud of THM on AWS, and the only way to access that cloud is via the VPN

fwiw the rest of THM, the actual servers, would be in a different virtual private cloud so you'd never interact with them in your VPN cloud :D

actual servers == website servers

[winged moon]

that's cool architectural stuff

[autumn trout]

@winged moon look into AWS firecracker. In the distant future it may be possible to deploy machines in under 1 second, entire networks in mere seconds too 🎉

[winged moon]

Yeah, i'm currently learning AWS that's why I was curious that sounds cool

[remote sail]

I'd actually be quite curious to know more about how they've put it together as well, since I have a few aws certs and do some of that for my real job

[autumn trout]

Like what? they won't tell us due to competitive advantage but I work in AWS full.time, and have been on THM long enough where I can make some guesses 😁

[remote sail]

yeah, I can make guesses too, but they are just guesses 🙂

I'd be curious about how they segment their network- how many VPCs, how they are configured, etc. Particularly since there are rooms and networks (like wreath), which behave differently

but then also stuff like cost optimization- there are a ton of tricks for that, but I'd be curious to see if they do stuff I haven't thought/heard of

[patent gate]

@winged moon John H and Muiris talk tomorrow will be of interest to you. They are literally talking about Room creation. If you have anything you wanna ask 'em (Please make them difficult questions 😄 ), pop them in #834378315505598464

[winged moon]

where? any links?

[patent gate]

Aye, Look at the pins in #834378315505598464

It'll be on this server in the Events stage.

[autumn trout]

Ah, I know Ashu is very into cost reduction haha

[grave torrent]

room released?

year of the jellyfish

[remote sail]

Yeah, that's always a big one, especially at large scales like this.

[maiden urchin]

Not yet, still another 6 hours and 30 mins

[tribal tide]

Imagine being slowmode limited

[autumn trout]

hahaha

[cerulean burrow]

I am looking for a mentor. If anyone is interested DM me.

[rapid summit]

I'm thinking if the forecast looks bad enough for me to try out my new tent tonight.

[steel plover]

I think your weather looks a little cold

[rapid summit]

Huh? It's still a good five degrees above the comfort temp of my sleeping bag.

[steel plover]

test method: put up tent in backyard, go back inside, check tent in morning

[tawdry dove]

You're in the non freedom measurements right?

[rapid summit]

yep, that's celcius. And hours, I don't know what the free world uses for time.

[tawdry dove]

We call the 24 hour clock military time

[azure trench]

You are probably right.

[rapid summit]

Camping weather, right?

[tawdry dove]

Yes

[scarlet moth]

it was cold enough to snow here, we just didn't have precipitation

[tawdry dove]

When I was in boy scouts we would have an event called "The Big Freeze" I think it was? Anyways, it would be a camping trip on the coldest weekend of the year. Almost always had 2 foot of snow on the ground but many times we had more

Most of the time it was just the adults that would sleep outside but one of the years I did it I think we hit -20 base temp

[rapid summit]

mmh. My coldest tent night was around -30 degrees C. But that was army time, with a stove in the tent.

[remote sail]

You folks haven't "lived" until you had to wake up and dig yourself OUT of a foxhole buried in several feet of snow.

[azure trench]

That sounds dreadful

[rapid summit]

I did my military service at about 68 degrees north 😄

[remote sail]

Where's that?

[rapid summit]

The Village of War! An actual translation of the name of Sodankylä, Finland, although that translation is from an incorrect root of the word.

[remote sail]

Oh dear. Yeah, my worst winter is probably a nice spring day for you

You're up near this part of the world: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B071RN55JV/ref=atv_yv_hom_c_unkc_1_3

[rapid summit]

Was that the one about the Finnish scuba divers recovering the bodies of their mates from the cave?

[remote sail]

yep

in Norway I think?

[rapid summit]

Yep. I know people that know the people involved in that.

[remote sail]

oh really? You a diver as well?

[rapid summit]

PADI OWD only, but yeah. I wouldn't dare to go into a cave 😄

[remote sail]

that's where the real fun is :). But yeah, don't do it without the right training and equipment. And PADI isn't it.

[rapid summit]

I know a few people from work that are scuba instructors as well, and they're well connected to those folks.

[rapid summit]

Well I've felt stressed next to a cliff underwater, so I don't see myself doing it. I can see the appeal, though.

[tawdry dove]

I might get certified this summer

It's always been in the list of things to do

[rapid summit]

It's a lot of fun, even if you keep it at not-so-demanding levels 🙂

[remote sail]

Happy to answer questions and/or point you in the right direction. Frankly, most dive training is garbage, and will get you hurt. I have very strong opinions on the nature of the dive industry.

[rapid summit]

True. Especially true in the vacation destinations.

[remote sail]

yep

[rapid summit]

I've done all my training in Finland with people I know (or with people that they say are worthy), so I've had pretty good experiences.

But with some of the holiday resort diving shops, it's been... dangerous.

Or at least careless. I know how to stay within my limits, but some people might not.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah it's always been kind of the next logical step for me water wise. I did the whole lifeguard and water safety instructor thing and I feel diving is the next level up

Ngl it's weird to think how many kids and adults I taught how to swim

[rapid summit]

I think the most important things to think about when diving are to stay calm and to stay within your comfort zone. If you feel it's not good, don't do it.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah I'm fairly at home in the water but that's definitely a good tip

[rapid summit]

(well, you have to do some uncomfortable things like swimming without your mask on in the training, but... you probably get what I mean 🙂 )

[remote sail]

The bad thing is that as a novice, you don't really know where those limits are. And PADI is really bad about training, sadly. I'm also very curious about your friends who were involved in that recovery, if you want to share.

[rapid summit]

Oh - the recovery people were friends of friends. I don't know them personally

[remote sail]

ah, gotcha.

[tawdry dove]

Which incident was this? Cave rescue in Norway?

[rapid summit]

I think the requirements for PADI are too lax. And the training is aimed pretty much being able toto learn more.

And calling yourself Advanced with five dives after OWD is ridiculous.

[remote sail]

they also have a MASSIVE wide range in their instructors. Some are good, some are garbage. More are towards the garbage side, sadly

[tawdry dove]

Yeah can't you go for rescue after 15 dives?

[rapid summit]

Yeah. I've been sure to ask from people I trust about their experiences about the shops I've been interested 🙂 It's made me have misses in guided tours pretty rarely.

[tawdry dove]

If you have any recommendations for the VA Beach or Virginia area in general let me know

[remote sail]

Depends on the agency, but yeah, PADI is something like that

[remote sail]

I can ask around. The best agency in the world, imo (and verifiable/go do your homework) is Global Underwater Explorers (https://www.gue.com/)

[tawdry dove]

Alright cool

[remote sail]

Any of their instructors are great, some are better than others. I have friends who travel to that area to teach as well, or you can go to florida for it. Happy to go into tons of detail

[tawdry dove]

Are they Internationally recognized or is it US only really?

[rapid summit]

But I guess it's sauna time. I'd love to get tips at some point as well 🙂

[tawdry dove]

Looks fairly niche which is kind of cool. Don't know if that's the right word

[remote sail]

Kinda depends on who you ask. Yes, they are niche- not many people know of them. They started as a cave and technical diving training organization but have kinda worked back towards the recreational side

A good friend of mine is a cave diver, and I've been mentoring and training him for years. He started with another agency for open water and shifted to GUE for cave training. His wife has absolutely zero intention of ever going near a cave, but took the GUE recreational class as her first time in the water.

[olive hearth]

Todays chapter of Pentest+ "Analyzing Vulnerability Scans"

[remote sail]

Are you working through a book or something else? I am scheduled to take that in june but haven't been doing specific prep for it yet

[olive hearth]

Just the current book to cover the theoratical parts

[remote sail]

do you have a link to it?

[olive hearth]

Doesnt seems like a really hard exam to be honest

Sybex Pentest+Study Guide pt0-001 Mike Chapple

[remote sail]

thanks. I have a couple udemy courses too that I haven't gone through yet

[tawdry dove]

Got to love the government I owe the state of Vermont $1 and they want me to cut them to check.

A check that is going to cost more than a dollar to mail and more than a dollar for them to cash

[remote sail]

Mail them a roll of pennies

[tawdry dove]

It said it had to be a check

[remote sail]

individually wrapped. Or taped to a paper.

cash and coin is legal tender, I think they are legally required to accept it

if it's a government/municipal agency

[tawdry dove]

I filed through TurboTax and that's what they said but you're probably right

[remote sail]

You're a hacker. Find the loopholes 🙂

[tawdry dove]

Not with the IRS and the State tax authorities. That joker meme is right

[remote sail]

Which one? There are many.

[rapid summit]

check... haven't seen those since the 90s 😄

[remote sail]

I still have them (but rarely use it). Now payphones otoh...

[tawdry dove]

I've never ordered checks

[rapid summit]

Well those were my parents' and in the early nineties, I guess. I think I might have cashed some checks when I graduated high school (the local variant, 10th to 12th grade)

[tawdry dove]

I had to go on an archeology expedition and find some printed paper checks that the bank gave me when I said I might need them when moving

[remote sail]

I initially read that as some kind of class project expedition

[rapid summit]

My parents were also using online banking in the early nineties for about everything, checks or other paper thingies weren't really a thing even back then.

there was a discussion about checks and cashing them some time ago in Finland. I had to dig up my memory a bit to find out what it was about. It was the COVID relief checks sent to US citizens. People had to pay up to 100€ to cash them over here.

[spark sun]

E-filing taxes in the previous year allowed Treasury to direct deposit - no check needed

[rapid summit]

How long does it take for you to file taxes?

[spark sun]

about 5 minutes when I file electronically

about an hour to go through the forms, between my investments, salary and side hustles

[rapid summit]

Oh. I've heard some horror stories about US tax filings, perhaps it's changed for better 🙂

[spark sun]

most horror stories are from people not taking care of their reciepts and paperwork prior to filing

[rapid summit]

Makes sense.

The only thing I have to manually file are US stocks in etrade, they're not automatically reported to the tax authority.

[spark sun]

Sounds about right. Most of the forms are super easy; and for someone making <$60k/year in the US, taxes should be dead easy to do

[rapid summit]

mmh. EU stocks, funds etc are reported automatically, so I don't really even have to calculate anything for those.

...or add receipts.

[spark sun]

The biggest complication is stuff like day trading P&Ls, expenses reimbursed vs not-reimbursed and deductible, tax payments on student loans and home loans

[rapid summit]

I think most brokers over here would handle even day trading reports. Expenses? No need to do anything with those.

[spark sun]

but usually, it's not worth taking an itemized deduction until one has more deductions than the standard. At that point, it's usually better to pay a CPA to do taxes for you

[tawdry dove]

That was an option but I'm not giving that info

That's just me though

[spark sun]

You have tickets, Moose. Unless you just got them, pick a social security or labor dept leak and find your info online

[tawdry dove]

What Tickets? Like Support tickets?

[spark sun]

The other tickets.

[tawdry dove]

Or vehicle Tickets

If it's the vehicle kind it's just the one

[remote sail]

doing 120 in a school zone while drunk. Shame on you. :smh:

[tawdry dove]

No. It was 89 on 89

[rapid summit]

I once got a speeding ticket from an automated traffic control station. Got the ticket in mail. And then in a couple of weeks I got another letter stating "The ticket was invalid, the location written in the ticket was incorrect. Do not pay it."

[remote sail]

strange

[rapid summit]

Well, it had a place 50km off the actual location 😄

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i got pulled over and my friend got mad for me telling the cop "no, I don't know why you pulled me over"

[inner aurora]

Is there a FAQ that explains the 0x categories I.e 0x6

[quaint basin]

There should be actually

Let me see

Oh, apparently not

It's just counting from 1 to 13 in hexadecimal

[remote sail]

but why only 13? 🤔

[quaint basin]

🤷‍♂️

[inner aurora]

Okay so how would one go from a 0x1 to 0x2?

[remote sail]

[inner aurora]

Ahh! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

[tawdry dove]

That was probably a dumb thing to do lol

3 County sheriff cruisers went screaming by and then I spotted a county sheriff helicopter hovering above a spot near my gym so I drove over to investigate

Probably a good thing I did not actually find where they went

[remote sail]

did you lean out the car window and wave?

[tawdry dove]

No lol

[remote sail]

missed opportunity. Could've made some new friends.

[tawdry dove]

Once I got pretty much under the helicopter it buzzed off

I'll have to check the news tonight

[remote sail]

remind me to tell you a story later

[tawdry dove]

Rog

Second time at the gym today though. Got a late start and the kid that takes 2 hours on the deadlift pad was here this morning

[lilac gust]

2 hour deadlift session is pretty intense

[tawdry dove]

This individual only goes up to 315 and takes extremely long breaks in between sets

Like the other day they did, i think i counted, 6 sets with a 10-15 minute break between each

[lilac gust]

they must have a lot of time to spare I guess

you could probably work in between their sets with those kind of breaks, if covid wasn't such a factor 😐

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i would if I wasn't socially awkward and covid wasn't a thing

Mainly the covid thing though. You have no idea how people are going to react, rationally or otherwise

[lilac gust]

it's just not really worth the risk with covid right now I guess

[tall echo]

Damn you guys have gyms opened

Here in Poland it's all locked down

And gyms are only availble for professional athletes

[lilac gust]

Australia is doing alright for COVID atm so I'm lucky there

[whole yarrow]

I think I prefer closed gyms over spiders the size of a dog

Not to mention the drop bears

[rapid summit]

I'm not sure which one is worse, spiders the size of a dog or a gazillion small spiders.

[remote sail]

Definitely the gazillion small spiders. I once stepped on what I thought was a ginormous spider. Turned out it was a spider with an egg sack, and a million microscopic spiders went running off in all directions.

[scarlet moth]

ack

[remote sail]

Yeah, it was definitely a bit of a freak out moment. Felt like something out of arachnophobia or something.

@burnt night why aren't u a part of tmh staff? (if i can ask)

[fringe wolf]

172.16.0.0/24 means covering any IP range that’s 172.16.0.X. (The /24 is called a subnet mask btw)

So if you’re connected to 172.16.0.5, and you do something to alter connections to everything in the 172.16.0.0/24 range, it can also impact your current active connection

[burnt night]

sshuttle adds routing rules, I believe.
If you route traffic destined for the target over the link to the target, you're kinda stuck in a situation where you can't route the traffic over the SSH tunnel because the SSH tunnel is trying to be routed over the SSH tunnel

[fringe wolf]

Oooh, interesting! I haven’t used sshuttle so I was just guessing based on the high level networking concept. That additional clarification is useful knowledge 😄

[burnt night]

I know it uses iptables quite heavily, not 100% on how it works under the hood

[radiant jacinth]

Oh wow that's interesting, thanks

Team 👋🏻 off-topic but does anyone know which remote access tools tech support scammers use on MacOS? I'm already aware of TeamViewer

[tiny oak]

Can we read the rules before posting things like this? This is blatant advertisement and was not approved.

[gray trellis]

Don't feel that you're being lazy. Intro To Networking is a very theory heavy room, so it's natural that it includes lots of text. However, take it bit by bit, and perhaps a little at a time, and you'll see how much you can learn! I wouldn't recommend skipping to another room though, as networking is the most fundamental topic in cyber.

[azure trench]

I agree with @gray trellis, in college, we had a whole semester dedicated to Networking (and I didn't comprehend a lot of stuff until I started hacking). Doing a crash course of it in a few THM rooms will feel like a lot

[radiant jacinth]

Honestly, your frustrations are understandable. There's a lot of theory for a beginner but it gets better. Also, you don't need to understand everything 100%, by doing rooms and research, you'll get to understand them

[radiant jacinth]

I agree!

[fringe wolf]

You’re not lazy! You’re already taking time to try and learn new skills. That’s the opposite of laziness. 🙂 Learning new stuff can be a challenge, especially when it’s all new. It’s okay and normal to feel like your brain is melting with information overload sometimes, especially when it’s a crash course on a really huge topic. If you keep at it, it’ll get easier with time as you build up those fundamentals. 🙂

[potent berry]

The intro to Networking rooms are next on my list, I've just finished the Linux fundamental rooms. I've been learning for my CompTIA Network+ exam so I'm hoping that some of the stuff I've covered in that will be in this pathway on THM. (the physical models/methodologies etc. anyway!)

I'm sure there will be plenty I've not seen yet though. If you want to chat through some concepts at some point when you've read through stuff then let me know, I find it sometimes helps to talk things out rather than just reading full walls of text solo! 👍

[radiant jacinth]

The quiet-conversation reminds me of a very quiet smoking area at airports

[potent berry]

just the occasional 'nod' as you pass the same person for the 4th time

[radiant jacinth]

After you have entered Duty Free for the 3rd time

[potent berry]

thankfully the one i used to frequent was within a bar 😆

[radiant jacinth]

Lucky you, huh?

[rapid summit]

I think it's time to make some shakshuka.

[burnt night]

I think it's always time for that

[oak smelt]

yeah it's true ahahaha

[burnt night]

People say it's a brunch food. I say that's too narrowminded. I find it's a great evening meal too.

[oak smelt]

I never taste the shakshuka

[burnt night]

It's reasonably easy and cheap to make.

[rapid summit]

And usually you get two meals for two for the amount i make.

[oak smelt]

Here , where i live , there isn't a lot of Arabic food... ( i live in Italy , and i think that the shakshuka is an Arabian food(?))

[rapid summit]

I don't think I've ever had it in a restaurant. The ingredients are pretty basic, so you should be able to get all of them in European supermarkets 🙂

[oak smelt]

I'm going to check the recipe immediately 😄

[rapid summit]

after all it's onions, bell peppers, chili, canned tomatoes and chickpeas, mostly. Then some spices, and those aren't really hard to get.

[burnt night]

Interesting, you use chickpeas. Is that instead of eggs?

[rapid summit]

in addition to those. But yeah, you could make a vegan version without eggs with chickpeas

[oak smelt]

when I do, I'll send you a picture, but you don't have to be too critical of me 🤣

[radiant jacinth]

I've heard chickpeas can be used as an alternative for many dishes.

[burnt night]

I used bell peppers, onions, garlic, paprika, cumin, fresh coriander, tinned tomatoes, eggs, sometimes a feta or chorizo, maybe even some fresh tomatos

[rapid summit]

The hardest to get spices in that would be cumin and fresh coriander, I guess 🙂

[burnt night]

Cumin should be easy enough. Fresh coriander makes a lot of difference IMO, but if you have the mutation that makes it taste like soap I guess you should skip it

[rapid summit]

If you can't take coriander, some other fresh herb would work. A bit of mint or parsley, maybe?

[burnt night]

Parsley, I'd imagine, would be better than mint.

[radiant jacinth]

Love your knife.

[rapid summit]

It’s Fiskars Norden knife

[burnt night]

I need to grab a smaller oven-safe frying pan. I only have my 24cm cast iron or a biiiiiig 24cm deep saute pan

[radiant jacinth]

How's the grip?

[rapid summit]

Fits like... a knife in my hand?

[radiant jacinth]

Mine are very small and not comfortable to use at all

[steel plover]

you food seems to be hiding under some plants

[radiant jacinth]

Looks delicious, bon appetit!

[rapid summit]

That's called "black pepper" 🙂

[steel plover]

not parsley

[rapid summit]

coriander is the other plant substance on top of this.

[steel plover]

never used the leaves as garnish, do they help

[rapid summit]

Well you weren't able to spot the actual dish, so probably?

[steel plover]

I meant with the taste

[remote sail]

😆

[rapid summit]

Works for me, YMMV 🙂

[burnt night]

I'm a big fan of some diced coriander cooked in a little, then some sprinkled over at the end

[rapid summit]

Sounds good, I'll try to try that out the next time.

I have no idea. I put the oven on 425 and bake for 15 minutes with a 3-4 minute rest

And they turn into leather

I can't go any lower because they barely make temp at that time if at all

[steel plover]

I don't use my oven much

[keen bough]

yeah idk how you do it

[steel plover]

air fryer, george forman, grill, or stove top are my main cooking methods

[tawdry dove]

Stove, oven, and now sous vide because I live in an apartment

[steel plover]

you could add air fryer, they are awesome

[tawdry dove]

I don't have the counter space

Or the cabinet space

[steel plover]

space is always the issue with apartments

[tawdry dove]

My kitchen is oddly shaped and the cabinets aren't regular sizes

[steel plover]

my kitchen is an ugly orange

[tawdry dove]

All of the useful sized cabinets are 7-8 foot off the ground

Bet even then they are shallow

[north roost]

@radiant jacinth Why did you ping me?

[twin ridge]

knife is never too big

[tawdry dove]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-a-knife-crocodile-dundee-gif-10637727

But in reality I like cutting with that knife because it's hella sharp. Especially if it's freshly cooked

[tawdry dove]

I don't have a table or a couch lol

Live look at my apartment. Ignore the twittiots

[twin ridge]

oh dear

[scarlet moth]

spends $4000/month on apartment, can't afford furniture

[tawdry dove]

I bought a couch two weeks ago

It will be here in 2 months

[scarlet moth]

whenever we do our cross country move, my plan is to leave all my furniture here... except maybe a couple items

but like sofa? nope, dining room table, nope, cheaper bookcases, nope and nope

[tawdry dove]

Yeah you can't leave anything and they don't give you anything here

[scarlet moth]

well I mean I'd donate whats worth it, put stuff out on the curb for free what isn't

moving stuff is expensive

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i moved everything myself when I moved in. I just rented the $60 uhaul trailer and put everything in that and the back of the Honda Odyssey and drove myself down to the DMV from Mass

[tawdry dove]

I hope i can get an uber back to the car shop

It was hard enough to get one from the car shop to Richmond

Sweet potatoes are awesome

i want to learn hacking

where can i learn for free

[maiden urchin]

Hey, check #start-here

This will teach you on where to get started @vast rose

[vast rose]

i think it would have been better with videos

[burnt night]

THM has videos for many rooms

[azure trench]

Hi Friend, if you are a visual/audio learner, and learn best via videos, there are some great YouTube videos to learn the basics. For Network Pentesting, The Cyber Mentor is good (he also has a course which he'll sometimes give away for free). For web hacking, LiveOverflow seems to have a good playlist (I haven't watched it, but his technical explanations are the best imo), and Hackersploit has a decent web one as well. For Software Hacking, I would recommend LiveOverflow's Binary Exploit playlist. Feel free to reach out if you got any questions. Happy learning!

[burnt night]

Also, highly recommend defcon talks

Even if you don't take in a lot from them, they're interesting to listen to.
They're often reasonably accessible without too much knowledge of the topic before.

[radiant jacinth]

That looks super tasty 😋

[lilac gust]

how we know roki doesn't own a cat

[unique dove]

[rapid summit]

Pizza time! Dough is being prepared.

[proven cobalt]

Someone say cats?

[scarlet moth]

yeah you gotta keep table corners clear

also cats love putting their heads in cups

[twin ridge]

mine prefers to drink from the tap...

[scarlet moth]

I have one that likes the tap but she also takes the opportunity to stick her head in my drinking cups if she has a chance

reason why I mostly drink from water bottles

[remote sail]

There are water fountain machines for cats too. I used to have a cat that could/would only drink from that.

[scarlet moth]

our cats actually didn't like those

[remote sail]

cats are fickle creatures 🤷‍♂️

[radiant jacinth]

Golden IP address

[burnt night]

I mean I can beat that

I control the 10.10.10.10

[radiant jacinth]

It's MY achievement...

[remote sail]

soon on THM: pay extra for 'vanity' IPs

[patent gate]

10.10.92.97 😄

[remote sail]

I'm kinda sad I don't have a cool IP now

[spark sun]

My biggest 'missed opportunity' in IT is that I will probably never work for level 3 - thus I can never assign 8.67.53.09 to anything

[burnt night]

Yes, but you'd also have to work for Level 3

[spark sun]

It'd be worth it if I could somehow take ownership of that one IP address.

[remote sail]

who owns it now/what does it go to?

[spark sun]

It's internal to level3

It's part of the 8.x.x.x class A address

[short elk]

.09?

[steel plover]

take out the . and you get 867-5309

[burnt night]

Ooooh IP addresses with leading 0s. There lies weirdness, with windows.

[spark sun]

It's a top tier 80s meme.

[short elk]

i'm too young 😔

[steel plover]

just google the song

[spark sun]

I"m sure there's a localization for you - your search keys are 'tommy tutone jenny'

[steel plover]

you will get something

at one place I worked, our voice team would use it as a joke if they didn't want to really help someone

[remote sail]

Now we need somebody inside to find out what they use it for. It's either something epic, or something mundane.

[spark sun]

I hope it is their internal PBX

[burnt night]

https://superuser.com/questions/857603/are-ip-addresses-with-and-without-leading-zeroes-the-same This is something fun

[remote sail]

or an auto-redirect for all unauthenticated requests, with just the song playing

[steel plover]

curl the IP and get the lyrics back

[short elk]

wtf did not know that was a thing

[spark sun]

@remote sail Apparently the address is assigned to something in Monroe, LA.

I'm betting it's something mundane, like a backbone switch or BFR

[remote sail]

maybe that's where Jenny lives ? 🤔

[spark sun]

I would doubt it is assigned as a private citizens home router WAN address

that seems like just asking for someone to be ddosed by well intentioned nerds

[burnt night]

Yea, I bumped into it with some uni work. It's a horrific mess.

[twin ridge]

the 020 not being the same as 20 might be a posix thing though

[burnt night]

Windows thing

[rapid summit]

Not a pizza day today. I managed to screw up the dough.

[steel plover]

today is leftovers

[tawdry dove]

Today is sous vide pork again

Maybe I'll microwave sweet potatoes

[rapid summit]

I'll use that pizza sauce for some kind of a mix everything and make pasta dish. Italians will be mad at me.

[scarlet moth]

its all good

[tawdry dove]

Yeah only fake Italians will care

You make due with what you have

[steel plover]

I don't like pasta, but you can use the pizza sauce to make a tomato sauce for rice

[tawdry dove]

That would probably be pretty good

I've got arborio rice but I haven't used it yet

[scarlet moth]

only if you claim it isn't Mexican rice

[tawdry dove]

Huh? Arborio rice is Italian rice

Or was that for the tomato rice

[scarlet moth]

Italians use tomato sauce with rice?

[steel plover]

I'm not italian, but I do rice for as much as I can

[tawdry dove]

My grandmother never made it but I don't see why not

Both ingredients were grown in the region

It wasn't a tomato sauce in the rice but my grandmother would put tomatoes in the risotto

[scarlet moth]

when you make mexican rice, you cook it with a tomato sauce... so you toast the rice in oil, then add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce, some water, some salt, spices and sometimes some peas+carrots

[burnt night]

That sounds good

[tawdry dove]

I absolutely despise peas

[scarlet moth]

its optional, my family doesn't do it

I forgot onions, you sautee the rice til it starts to get brown, then you add some chopped onions, then tomato sauce, water, salt and spices

[spark sun]

marinara sauce or tomato paste?

[north roost]

ah nice my fam traditionally cooks rice with a boat load of sazon, chicken stock cubes, a couple glugs of beer, then finish with candules + onions

better than bouillon is a good substitute for the stock tho which ill use for a vegan version

[scarlet moth]

tomato sauce

[scarlet moth]

ha, when I went vegan, I asked my grandma about chicken stock and she said 'I'm too cheap to use chicken stock'

[tawdry dove]

Lol

[scarlet moth]

same with beans and my grandma uses the tortilla recipe on the back of her flour bag, its just water, flour, salt and baking powder

so generally eating my grandma's food is safe vegan wise

[tawdry dove]

I think this weekend im going to sous vide some steak

Maybe make a loaf of bread or bagels

[scarlet moth]

I may make enchilada soup

[tawdry dove]

Hmm bagels don't seem too hard

I just need to find malt paste or whatever it's called and the dehydrated gluten stuff

[north roost]

my grandma throws ham hocks in the beans and uses lard for her tortillas - shes gotten slightly better with making food that isn't slowly killing everyone but its hard to argue with first-generation grandma cooking

[scarlet moth]

my grandma only uses lard for tamales

[tawdry dove]

Must be doing something right though because first generation grandmothers live for an eternity

[scarlet moth]

mine is 95, although technically she is 2nd generation

my grandfather was first generation

actually grandfather was 2nd generation too, but barely

[north roost]

haha true, I had 2 sets of great-grandparents across two different cultures who basically ate red meat, smoked and drank everyday and lived until 90

none of this dang corn syrup and GMOs

[tawdry dove]

GMOs yes cornsyrup no

[scarlet moth]

my grandma apparently is a major dessert foodie, like she basically only eats dessert these days

[rapid summit]

I had a great-grandmother that died at 95 a few months after a doctor had suggested her to stop smoking.

[scarlet moth]

I'm like she is 95... let her eat what she wants

[tawdry dove]

Yeah my great grandfather made it to 99 and 11 months

And then another made it to 100

[scarlet moth]

my grandma still has many living siblings, all in their 90s and my grandfather's siblings are still alive even if my grandfather isn't

[tawdry dove]

Pretty sure the one that made it to 100 was in the mob

[scarlet moth]

ha

my grandma's eldest sister just had a birthday but don't think she is 100

[north roost]

but tbf most of my great-grandparents had several siblings who died of typhus or other old-timey diseases

[scarlet moth]

my grandma had a few old timey diseases including TB

but she had some siblings when she was young that didn't make it out of childhood, which was the norm... think she had 4 siblings die under the age of 5

[rapid summit]

my grandmother was sorry for her brother that had deceased from TB for 60 years after his passing.

[remote sail]

That's a serious accomplishment

[rapid summit]

Which one?

[remote sail]

surviving the mob for that long

Have you never seen Casino or Goodfellas?

[tawdry dove]

Yeah I'm not sure but my grandmother has her suspicions

Always had a reliable car, wouldn't talk about work ever, would sometimes show up at odd times, etc

[scarlet moth]

my grandma was like 'I survived TB, I can survive covid'... and we were like oh no no no

[tawdry dove]

Especially being in between Boston and NYC

[rapid summit]

Well she's not quite from the generation that had the spanish flu...

[tawdry dove]

Closer to Boston though

You had the Irish and the Italians

And then also the Russians making moves

Yay crime!

[remote sail]

I read an article a while back about a guy who had that flu back in 1918 as a youngster, then had covid last year as a 100 year old or whatever, and survived both

Like what is this guy, Sean Connery?

[scarlet moth]

yeah I saw that

[rapid summit]

It's fun to think my grandmother was born in imperial Russia, raised in independent Finland, went through three wars affecting civilian population, being evacuated from her home twice for a long time, and ended up being a citizen of an EU member country.

[midnight minnow]

Ever wondered , This planet will have a total new set of people after 100 years

[tawdry dove]

Yay Europe!

But yeah that sounds rough

[rapid summit]

And on top of that, living up north where you can't really grow anything and be sure you get a harvest.

[tawdry dove]

Normal people are forgotten after 3 generations

[midnight minnow]

sad

[tawdry dove]

Also Napoleon wasn't a tiny man. He was a normal height for the time period

[midnight minnow]

What if human and other heterotrophs are actually addicted to oxygen and it's the oxygen thats slowly killing us

[tawdry dove]

It was propaganda from the English that started that myth

[midnight minnow]

which myth ?

[tawdry dove]

That Napoleon is short

[midnight minnow]

Let's change this topic and any theories on this ?😆

[burnt night]

I mean. Respiration.

[tawdry dove]

I've seen Napoleons hat

Or tricorn I think it was called

It's in Berlin

[remote sail]

Oxygen IS actually lethal in high doses.

[tawdry dove]

So is water

[remote sail]

O2 is faster though :). Water kills through hyponatremia, which is really lack of salt

which disrupts organ function

[tawdry dove]

I mean if you inject it it's pretty quick

I forget what that was called. We learned that in biology

[remote sail]

I was referring to the "standard" ways of ingesting O2 and water

[tawdry dove]

I know lol

90° Freedom is gross

Idk why I moved here

True. Money definitely talks

[rapid summit]

What's wrong about right angles? 🤔

[tawdry dove]

Won't work for FAANG though no matter how much they offer me

[remote sail]

netflix would be interesting. I've turned down F jobs though. THeir hiring process is also stupid. Same with G. Amazon's is hit or miss depending on the team

[rapid summit]

F might have interesting stuff to work on, but... no thanks.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i will probably just avoid big tech all together. I really don't care who I work for as long as the money is good enough but they are an absolute no for me

[remote sail]

same. I just interviewed there for the curiosity of it

was not impressed. at all.

[tawdry dove]

FAANG and the FBI

[remote sail]

sounds like a bad cover band

[tawdry dove]

Lol

[rapid summit]

moving from a startup to a billion dollar company was interesting 🙂

[tawdry dove]

I'll work for external pointing agencies but I take issue with how the FBI generally conducts its business

[remote sail]

well, they don't want you either. I peeked in their files

[tawdry dove]

[remote sail]

something about an unfortunate livestock incident? 🤔

[tawdry dove]

I went to a recruitment event/presentation on FBI in cyber and all the special agent did was talk about himself and how good he was, as well as talking about how most of us weren't good enough for the FBI

[remote sail]

well, arrogant assholes are everywhere

[tawdry dove]

First impressions matter and it didn't help when I went to a different event and it was kinda the same thing

[scarlet moth]

I talked to an FBI recruiter before, she was pretty cool, it was funny because I was like 'so do you have positions in Maryland' and she was like 'we have positions that are commutable around the DC area'

[tawdry dove]

Yeah you don't really get a choice

[scarlet moth]

I mean like y'all have a big ass building in DC and a freeway exit that says "FBI here", you could say something a bit more specific

[remote sail]

depends on "commutable" i guess?

my daily commute was >80mi one way, at one point

[tawdry dove]

They have manning requirements for techs and Special Agents get told where to go

[scarlet moth]

its more a question about where their offices are other than the huge known ones, she couldn't provide more than vagueries

[tawdry dove]

That was my internship

[remote sail]

phone books can- they are listed (generally)

[scarlet moth]

buts all good, I couldn't really imagine myself as part of the FBI

[remote sail]

but you get a cool badge!

[scarlet moth]

probably don't pay nearly as well

[remote sail]

quite likely

retirement might be better though

[tawdry dove]

Early career no, mid-late career yes depending on what you specialize in

And yeah you also get a government pension

[remote sail]

if you live to spend it

[tawdry dove]

Holy shit did you see what happened to Kentucky ballistics?

[remote sail]

nope. do tell

[tawdry dove]

His 50 exploded on him

[remote sail]

double feed or something?

[tawdry dove]

Dudes all bandaged and has stitches from his collar bone up to his carotid

I heard about a dive shop owner whose compressor and banks exploded a little while back. damn near killed him

[tawdry dove]

High pressure things are dangerous

[remote sail]

yep

I am totally fine doing a multi-hour decompression cave dive on mixed gasses. No problem. But having some high pressure o2 bottles sitting in my house scares me.

[tawdry dove]

It looks like KB was using SLAP rounds? And then moved to silver tips?

Ah yeah he got an extremely hot SLAP round is what he's saying

[remote sail]

wonder if it was a reload, weak brass

[tawdry dove]

Yeah he said he's not sure. He was under the impression that he was buying surplus mil

[remote sail]

hm. COuld be 20yrs old then or something

like most MREs

[tawdry dove]

Chilimac

[remote sail]

the good ol' days

[remote sail]

Just watched this. Holy sh*t. He's lucky/unlucky. The "intubate" part is something different though, sounds like that's draining a hemothorax. And yeah, that's not fun.

[tawdry dove]

Yeah i thought intubate was coming in from the mouth into the lungs

[remote sail]

correct

there are two types of collapsed lungs- hemothorax and pneumothorax. First one is because there's blood in the chest cavity, which "squishes" the balloon that is the lungs. The second is because there is air in the chest cavity. This usually happens because either the lungs have been punctured or ruptured, and they are leaking into the chest cavity when you try to breathe, or because the chest cavity itself has been punctured from the outside, and air is leaking in from the outside. Either way, the solution is to drain the chest cavity and let the lungs reinflate, which doesn't always happen. So he likely would have ALSO been intubated in order to force air back into the lungs and get them to reinflate. There are actually 5 sub-chambers or lobes of the lungs.

(don't ask me how I know this)

I'm intrigued :0

[remote sail]

I know many things about many things 🤔

I know a lot of useless things tbh

But it's fun when someone finally asks and I know the answer

[remote sail]

a good chunk of my knowledge has questionable merit as well 🤷‍♂️

[odd acorn]

I think having general knowledge makes someone have a really interesting

Wow, shows I should go to sleep

[remote sail]

lol

[odd acorn]

I think having general knowledge makes your personality really interesting

As opposed to someone with specialist knowledge who only really knows about one main thing

Not saying specialists only know about that one thing but usually that's where their focus goes 😄

[remote sail]

in hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have turned down that 'most interesting man in the world' job, but 🤷‍♂️
