- Comment on Farming for self sustainance 1 day ago:
Very realistic. You can do that right now. Lost of people around the world rely on subsistence farming.
But it’s not particularly enjoyable. And you’ll still be working a lot. Plants and animals don’t take days off.
- Comment on Arbitrator settles flight attendant wages at Air Canada, as labour dispute comes to official end 1 week ago:
So they’re still getting paid less than thair wage for work on the ground. At least they’re getting paid; I know some airlines don’t pay them for their work at all until the door closes.
- Comment on N00b wanting to get into this field - NL Cybersecurity 1 week ago:
In the US, the cert most often expected is sec+.
Generally you should look at job listings and work backwards from there. Most companies use software like nessus and splunk, and there are plenty of free alternatives to those and others that you can play around with.
Competency in networking (firewall rules/acls, routing, subnetting) and programming (python, powershell, bash, batch script) are a big benefit.
- Comment on Update: Remote Access Trojan backdoored through WINE 2 weeks ago:
That’s a lot of words and no actual evidence. Like you see 20copyfiles, but what does it actually do? You see privoxy installed, but how is it configured?
Like 80% of this is just you seeing something and making wild assumptions. Like a trivial google search for “kernel drop_monitor”, since I’ve never heard of it:
www.kernelconfig.io/CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR
This feature provides an alerting service to userspace in the event that packets are discarded in the network stack.
I know remote-fs is normal because it’s part of every install I’ve seen: ubuntu-mate.community/t/…/24640
Neither of these are evidence of compromise.
And while privoxy can be used with tor, it’s by no means a good way to do anything, and certainly not the primary way to use Tor (that would be their own client).
The stuff clamav is picking up could certainly be malware, if you downloaded some cracked software or something. But as I mentioned last time, exploiting Linux via Wine is an extremely unlikely attack vector.
- Comment on Absolute disaster, RAT backdoored through WINE. Assistance with Docker 3 weeks ago:
Wine to Linux seems like an unlikely attack vector. What led you to believe you were compromised? I’m not sure what the screenshots are supposed to show, and the text file isn’t loading.
If you can share the evidence of compromise itself, or the disk images, I’d like to take a look at it.

Water-filled space travel? Seems a significant disadvantage. Water is heavy, and weight is a major factor in getting to space.

- Comment on Breaking Bitlocker - Bypassing the Windows Disk Encryption 5 weeks ago:
People who prefer that much convenience vs security.
- Comment on Breaking Bitlocker - Bypassing the Windows Disk Encryption 5 weeks ago:
it is pretty much applicable to all devices using the default BitLocker “Device Encryption” setup, as this configuration relies solely on Secure Boot to automatically unseal the disk during boot.
That is, only the default “transparent” bitlocker mode. If you have any other additional protection (pin, password) set it doesn’t affect you.

There’s no reason to suspect that.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s probably because Kleiner knew the G-Man was involved in the interdimensional shit and had Gordon in stasis (or whatever), and he expected more warning when Gordon was on his way back, not just have him dropped on the doorstep, whereas the slow teleport was entirely experimental, accidental, and unexpected.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 5 weeks ago:
They don’t question it because all kinds of weird interdimensional shit is going down. But they absolutely react with surprise when you first show up.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 5 weeks ago:
The revolver’s first shot is dead center. Use your suit zoom and you can snipe a headshot.
Other than that, use the appropriate weapon. Soften them up or flush them out with grenades. Pop around a corner and hit them with both barrels of the shotgun. And don’t be afraid to use the quicksaves liberally.
HL and HL2 definitely aren’t polished AAAA game experiences, they’re experimental games from people trying to push the limits, so it’s natural that they don’t hold up to modern games. The modern games are standing on the shoulders of Half-Life (which stands on the shoulders of Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein).

So it’s okay to steal their work for AI and commercial profit because they posted it on the internet?
- Comment on "Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator 1 month ago:
So all the individual artists who had their work scraped are juggernauts?

Unfortunately you are not, that’s what most people do. We should all be including ethics in our purchases.

They might have used them for fine-tuning, but there is no way that they produced enough samples to train a model from zero.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Because most games aren’t designed client-server. GoldenEye was entirely local, so it didn’t need any networking, replication, or anti-cheat.
Games these days have a lot more going on. You need to replicate a lot of stuff in the world, you need to ensure that none of the clients are telling you something impossible, and you need a way to deal with cheaters. Usually that means accounts, anti-cheat, and bans. That’s a significant amount of infrastructure and management. And then you also have a lot of legal compliance too, like GDPR, and even more problems if minors will be playing your game online.
- Comment on 'Backtracking Development Again Was Out of The Question' — Nintendo Says Metroid Prime 4's Open World Hub Was a Victim of The Game's Lengthy Development 1 month ago:
Metroid’s core element of ‘increasing the amount of explorable areas by unlocking powers’ is not very compatible with the ‘freedom to go anywhere from the beginning’ of open worlds
Oh okay so they just dont understand anything about what they were trying to do then. Because BotW has plenty of places you can’t get to from the beginning, either because it’s too high, or the rain makes you slip while climbing.
They could probably have reskinned the game as something other than Metroid and it would have been fine. The gameplay itself isn’t great, but it’s not bad. As a Metroid game it was mediocre at best.
They should just stop making Metroid games entirely until they have someone who actually understands the principles.
