A thousand novel mistakes.

The two cases, they knew what it was and they did it maliciously. They didn’t know what they were doing and got socially engineered in the process. Both cases are cause for failure.

Sure. But for an entry level interview as a pen tester… Scanning with Kali should be an easy task.

Using Kali? Easy if you have training. The capstone for our security course a decade ago was too find and exploit 5 remote machines (4 on the same network, 1 was on a second network only one of the machines had access to) in an hour with Kali. I found all 5 but could only exploit 3 of them. If I didn’t have to exploit any of them 7 would be reasonably easy to find.

Kali basically has a library of known exploits and you just run the scanner on a target.

This isn’t novel exploit discovery. This is “which of these 10 windows machines hasn’t been updated in 3 years?”

Win12 confirmed 2044 release date.

Win12 confirmed as a Linux mint cinnamon derivative distro.

I was this person. Most people who do this are what people would usually call travelers. People who do it voluntarily, like I did, usually had enough money to get to another interesting place or buy a meal anytime they are hungry. Many people have odd jobs in remote places that preclude housing (I have had these jobs too). Some people are also begging as they travel. I never begged. I worked whenever I needed money. Generally speaking, living like this without facing extreme difficulties is exclusively a white male privilege from a country with a strong passport. Non-white people are routinely arrested. Women are routinely raped. Weak passports get deported.

Non-consecutively I spent a little over 4 years living in a tent or on the ground in some capacity. The longest period of time I lived exclusively in a tent was 14 months consecutively.

I hiked backcountry trails, city streets and traveled extensively through a number of countries. I rode a bicycle for some of those years as well. In total I walked somewhere around 1500-2000 miles and rode between 3000 and 4000 miles. The farthest I have ever walked in a single day is 30 miles. The farthest I have ever cycled in a single day is just over 120 miles. The longest period of time I spent in a single national forest was 5 months, but I worked in the back country there for 3 of them so I don’t know how to count that. There are thousands of people who work in the back country for many many months on end doing things like trail maintenance throughout the US.

Most of them live in their car.

This story is literally every experienced Linux users first horror story.

I still remember the first time I broke my xorg config on my shiny new slackware 10 install in early 2005.

Have LTS kernels started backporting non security fixes like this? To be fair I haven’t looked at this in over a decade but this kind of patch wouldn’t have been backported then.

This is one of those comments that causes Arch to get the reputation that it does. You aren’t wrong and you probably don’t intend to be off-putting but here we are.

Red Hat and Debian both backport security fixes but don’t backport things like laptop device support. It can take a year or more for versions of those distros to gain the kind of functionality that is looking for.

This is an excellent answer. My eli5 addition is this:

It depends on your distro. Distros that do more hand holding and more compatibility without additional operator involvement will be more likely to backport or use a stable kernel with backports like these. Examples: Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint. Distros that focus on system stability will take much longer to integrate backports like these, ex: Debian. And masochists will tell you to do it yourself, ex: lfs, arch.

And you would be wrong.

It depends on what you are trying to do… There are many tunnel / reverse proxy routing services like https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/

Here’s a list https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

You can also get a super cheap vps, do some ssh reverse tunnel magic and go along with your day.

You couldn’t pay me to use this…

Here is the rest of the story: the people who chose the subdomain chose .ml because they want it to mean marx-lenin… that’s why it means that for them.

Generally you are right. In this specific instance it was chosen for the fascism.

This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.

You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.

1. If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn’t have any quality guarantees… why then does usb vs hat matter?

2. If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.

3. Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.

This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?

What boomer bullshit is this?

Millennials and zoomers look for new jobs because businesses don’t treat them as adults most of the time. I got told by a boss that “Millennials are too young to know the value of hard work.” Bitch, I’m 35 years old. Companies don’t offer reasonable salary increases or promotions.

Want to keep zoomers? Pay them commiserate with experience. Give them level/title bumps. Treat them like adults.
