I didn’t read the article so no comment on that aspect of it, but just wanted to chime in to mention that vx-underground is legit.

You can have domains that end in even more stuff if you switch to an alternative dns root like https://opennic.org/.

I truly don’t understand why ParrotOS was created when Kali already existed. I guess HTB didn’t want to (or couldn’t get a license to) run Kali in browser VM’s since it’s maintained by their competitor? Idk.

I slept on swapping my 5800X to a 5800X3D, now I’m just kinda stuck until prices come down and I can upgrade to whatever socket AMD is on by that time.

True. Then I guess I’ll just fall back to dumping it on a subnet that null routes everything outbound, and use like an Apple TV or a shield or something for all the content.

I have tricks too. My firewall forcibly redirects any outbound request on port 53 to the internal ip of my pihole. You’ll take my dns and you’ll like it Roku.

Connect it to WiFi but dump it in a subnet that’s not allowed to send traffic out? That’s wild though.

Wow I didn’t know that I was leading this whole time.

He’s glazing Bungie so hard I thought he was an actual Bungie employee lol. Bro’s crashing all the way tf out, he might need some meds or therapy or something.

Yeah. I quit playing long before the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, but that’s just one more reason I’d never install it again.

That’s fair for sure.

That works too. I guess compared to a drive in a NAS, which had its own parity and aren’t sitting stationary on a shelf, that are replaced as they start reporting SMART failures or whatever.

I largely agree with you. I don’t include my pirated media in my cloud backups, both because as you said it’s easily recoverable and I’m not about to pay for 10’s of Terabytes of cloud storage lol. The only redundancy I have for them is the fact that they’re stored on a RAID array vs just being on single drive. It’s just personal records and documents, photos, and personal code that I have backed up into the cloud.

As an aside, I’m kind of confused as to how you were able to redownload all your media faster than copying it over from one NAS to another. I have my NAS connected to my network with a 10Gbps fiber spf+ module and only have 1Gbps from my ISP, so I can copy 10x faster than I could just download. Even if you had the nas on 1Gbps surely copying would be faster, or at least not slower than, downloading, especially when considering the overhead of unpacking, parity checking, etc right?

And that’s with me thinking about all this with Usenet, which has always consistently maxed out my available download bandwidth. My experience with torrents is that it’s much less consistent with fully utilizing all my available download bandwidth just bc it’s more reliant on the seeders upload rate caps.

At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter i guess.

Nothing really, but the lifespan of burned BD’s could mean you don’t have access to your data in the future.

If you care about local data preservation and you’re storing remuxes you should probably be storing them on a nas, or really just on a raid array. This allows for error correction due to the parity stripes and everything, and provided tolerance for drive failure.

If you were really serious about it, you’d want a mirrored nas offsite, or you’d push encrypted backups to cloud storage or something. But if you care about storing data as long term as possible you absolutely should not be storing the stuff on a single ssd or external drive or anything.

I know I’m supposed to be better than this, but what the absolute fuck is wrong with bro? His entire vibe is off. What the fuck is with that hair? Why is he calling everything baller? This is some Zuckerberg lizard person shit all over again a person who thinks that hair works and talking like that sounds fucking cool can’t be an actual human what in the weird ass shit.

Exactly. I “save for months” to buy my contacts, but that means setting aside $85 a month so I can drop $1000 every year on a new order of contacts without thinking about it. Saving for months for something is just budgeting.

So you played the technical test and not just the server slam?

Did you try it by buying it and then refunding? Or do you mean you played the server slam a few weeks ago?

Unless people have been playing an insane amount since release, I don’t think anyone’s really going out into a raid with the equivalent of late wipe geared up Tarkov equipment. I’ve barely seen anyone tossing out wolfpacks, I haven’t seen anyone using a hullcracker or an equalizer, and I haven’t taking any damage from a bettina yet. And has anyone seen a Jupiter in game?

All in all I agree with you though, this definitely is t Tarkov, and the people who are stressed are probably pretty new to the whole extraction shooter thing. I was running some raids with a finals friend and an old Tarkov mate, and we were just vibing dude. Super chill. And yeah anything I go in with right now I can pretty easily recraft in an instant. The tiered crafting mechanics seem way more intuitive than in Tarkov. I really like how the damage is governed by the weapon, not the bullet type. Losing a gun might sting for a second, but at least I’m not micromanaging my ap rounds and shit. Or holy fuck I forgot about this, stacking mags with ap at the top and staggering as you get through the 30. Although putting tracers as the last 5 like I did irl was always fun.
