  • Lol what part about that said sex worker/chat line? Well, you got me: For only $99.90 per hour I’ll talk to you about zero trust best practice that’ll get you rock hard. You’ll be begging me for a vulnerable endpoint to appear in my network sooooo bad. And I might even let you phish one of my users but I’ll make you my bitch first.

    I’m really not sure of that’s what sex chat lines are like but I think it’d do something for half of lemmy…





  • In terms of learning tech, I’m not looking to learn in the traditional “home lab” sense. I work in cyber, and the vms I’d be running are likely different from a regular home lab. I’d be learning how to make a windows domain and how to attack/defend/configure. Realising now I should have said that in the post.

    I do like the idea of having a server rack but I don’t have any storage space for that so it’s a future idea at the moment. Hence upgrading the tower to effectively be a server but also gaming.



  • I’m a nerd with a thing for punishing myself so setting up a small fake corporate environment that I can hack or configure would be fun. There’s a tool called velociraptor that you can use to hunt over multiple devices which I want to learn.

    Also just learning how to configure a domain, group policy, etc. I’d do like an 8 computer network if I had a machine that could run it. Setting up something like network segmentation, then “hacking” in and configuring attacker infrastructure sounds fun if not, again, totally overkill for what I want to do. I’d be phishing myself at the end of the day but it’d be fun to try.




  • Fuck yes. I switched to Linux after Windows got all control freaky over my task bar. On Linux I can have 30 task bars if I want, 100 task bars. I can setup a mouse-task bar that opens radially around my cursor. On mac I can put that shit left, right, bottom, which is something, and i can resize it which is the bare fucking minimum.

    On Windows? Bottom. Full width. Don’t like it? Fuck you. Shut up and cope.

    Oh but there’s a registry hack to… nope. Not dealing with that shit again after I tried to make the fucking icons smaller AND IT BROKE THE TASK BAR.

    Love that proprietary feeling, those crisp millions of dollars of development being used to innovate and develop a robust and perfected operating system.






  • Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).

    In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.

    Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.

    Traditionally, the word professional is usually reserved for someone who sits behind a desk, engaged in a “career” job. The word has changed but it was previously reserved for the careers you can only get after university, a “learned” profession.

    I say that because many think of waiters as a lesser profession, not a skilled job.

    One of my favourite restaurants closed recently but the staff there were definitely talented and had learned all the right communication with each other and patrons, they could answer any questions and knew how to avoid common grievances.

    You can be skilled at anything, and I’m constantly amazed by the little things people do to make others have a good time.

    Either this guys an impatient asshole or they made this up. Either way it’s not cute, it’s fucking annoying and is just a little control freak energy. Her not being able to work out its control freak energy means he’s probably with the right person.
