Nah, been a minute since I dug that laptop out of a bag.
The gashes I gather all come from a lab network I set up at home.
Just practice, studying towards changing to a security role from more general IT roles.
Edit: gashes = hashes, leave per request lol.
I having a gaming laptop. 13 inch Razer blase stealth.
I bought it for the GPU and its compact size.
Let’s me do some hash cracking while at work, though if its some serious work I’ll boot into Linux on my gaming rig and do it there, but I don’t like to tie it down when I could be playing games.
As I get older and older I have less and leas free time.
Was that based on a more adult (but still young) reading level? The name sounds familiar and I grew up on RL Stine until I found the deluge of books set in the forgotten realms (Dungeons and Dragons setting, for clarity, not written by Stine)
As a person who sleeps through alarms and is approaching middle age…
It is a problem.
I wish I had some advice, but I am accepting advice lol.
My first thought was Grand Prismatic, just after dawn.
Cool enough that the thermal features create a fog over the water, and more importantly, all the tourists (I was a hotel employee in the park) were still in bed. Had the boardwalk area all to myself.
I think I just sat in contemplation for half an hour, which if you knew me would say is impossible. Very peaceful.
They probably recognized enough to tell it was a Germanic language, but knows no German.
That would be a very common response in my area, but it was settled prominently by German immigrants.
There’s a subtle awareness you get growing up around people who are very proud of their Germanic heritage, but not in a racist way like some would assume from the south.
I went from hourly call center to on call 24/7 and being the only point of contact.
When my phone notifies me, just any notification, I panic. The phone rings, I panic. Its been over a year since I left.
Yes, its part and parcel to other issues of mental health, but… Man, do you know how often you get notifications? I’ve turned most off and still some days I’m ready to smash my phone so it will shut up and I can breathe normally.
I was witness to what burnt piss does on a hot muffler.
It stinks, for miles. And months.
I started with Backtrack on a laptop, and I currently have Kali on a preserved USB; with endeavor as a daily driver.
That being said, my current “real” daily drivers in Win10, mostly for gaming - Not because proton doesn’t do a hell of a job, it certainly does, but it makes modding single player games more complicated. I will say that is absolutely my fault, I haven’t spent enough time to figure it out. But after work, and the wife, and the animals, and the alcoholic BIL who shares the house… I just want to use Vortex to add some simple QOL mods to single player games and play it.
I troubleshoot IT issues all day at work, at the end of the day, I just need it to work. I’ve hardened and removed as much telemetry type bullshit as I could, but I’m sure some slips out. For my threat model, on this machine, I’m fine with it.
On the aforementioned labtop I boot into Kali for… well, that has a different threat model.
Its all self hosted vulnerable VMs for the specific reason of education, but some activities may fall into a grey area, so better safe than sorry.
As a bipolar epileptic, I got this phrase a lot.
I wasn’t an old soul, I was severely depressed and suicidal.
I’ll agree with that statement.
Its good background noise, you don’t have to follow too many subtle nuances or anything.
The formulaic nature actually helps with this, just catch the quips and mcguyver stuff and you’ve gotten 90% of the shows value.
Call it whatever you want man, whats important is that it helps you.
Could you go into detail, even just privately, that seems like a solid use for some otherwise idle storage space.
Then again, the only part of being a scout (boy) that stuck with me involved fire or survival methods, and to always be prepared is a good maxim.
They can do it in their free time, and even barter trade. But from sunup to sundown (or whatever labor scale they use to measure shifts) they are doing something materially useful. No contribution, no food that day. Should only take about 3 weeks to get rid of all the slackers (and I say that as a slacker myself) either they’ve gone back home, or they’ve starved to death.
I’ve been on a decade long hiatus from multiplayer aspect of games - aside from games I was with people I knew in RL.
I only occasionally get a twinge for the comraderie of some epic raid in an MMO, or tight unspoken squad tactics where everyone just does their job as expected (not necessarily well lol) and came out on top.
But really, I don’t have the time to commit to either of those.
Then I hear about my friend in GW2 (RL friend) who is going through some toxic guild BS and I don’t miss it.
Everquest did this to me.
I mained a bard, and back then you had to stop a song and start a new one every so often…
Mathematically it translates to a button press ever 1.5 seconds, ignoring movement, other combat abilities, etc.
I also refused to compromise on spelling and grammar at the time.
I got real good at typing accurately and quickly.
I have lost a lot of that speed, but at comfortable pace I’m probably 80-90 words a minute, and the last time it was measured was a keyboarding class requisite. 121 GWAM for an eighth grader isn’t too shabby. As long as I fixed the printer I got to play games in that class.
Not driving isn’t an option in my area. Not if you want to be employed.
Its a 30 minute drive to the bus stop to get to work. Plus travel time along bus stops.
Its a 35 minute drive to the front door.
If its still half an hour to just get to the bus stop, what’s the point even, at a personal level?
Captain Planet told me in the 90s what was gonna happen. Corporations just took it as a play book to accelerate shit.
Maybe they mean they will dual boot between windows and a hypervisor? I’ve never considered if that’s a possibility.
Sylvester? Is that an auto correct issue, or is this a public holiday that I might want to move to lol.
Please forgive my ignorance, the schools really failed in the US.
We keep the front mowed for the HOA.
The backyard can grow until we worry about snakes affecting our pups.
We have a front garden that gets no care outside HOA recommendations. It came with the house.
Can’t wait until I can OWN a house, but the market (with all the influences upon it) isn’t there.
I’m saving, and considering moving to another state, if that helps all the pedantic monsters our there.
