I play PlateUp with a friend, we started on remote play while I wasnt sure if I liked the game. It had issues where if the window lost focus, I’d crash and the entire game session was lost. Anyway, I bought the game and have never had any issues since. Its super fun!

Highly recommend this wargame challenge from over the wire. It makes you think and also feels like hacking. Youre just using linux commands to find passwords but the skills transfer to heaps of usage across systems. It can be a little beginner-ish though.

Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn’t expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.

Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn’t be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.

That’s not true, at 8 minutes he literally gets asked that exact question and responds no. Watch between 8 mins and 8:06 of the link you posted…

Can the propaganda have more pixels next time please and thank you, how am I meant to understand the wishes of glorious leader if I can’t even make out the words?

Was just going to say I prefer Nicole

Never underestimate con men, never underestimate the fools around you, and never overestimate yourself and your ability to be conned.

Been seeing whoosh creep in here and I downvote where I see it. It’s not funny, it’s just annoying

That’s like people calling Tech “the industry” I suppose.

Hey I really appreciate you taking the time. That’s super well reasoned and I see the benefit of the approach. I’ll have a think!

I like this idea, keep the old parts and reuse for something. I’ve always wanted a HTPC so maybe this gives me that in the future.

I definitely will look into used parts. Great idea

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…

My first question is storage, how much do they come with and how easy is that to upgrade? Cos my pc is a tower I can easily upgrade by adding bigger drives and I’ve got like 3 full size drive bays plus some smaller ssd holder things. Point is I’m a little space conscious and while I’m happy to investigate, I’ve got space in my pc for any extra storage requirements.

More brrr more better? Huh. More brrr more better.

I did a stint of YouTube gaming and coding tutorials at one point, I’ve sometimes considered getting back into it. I doubt I would because I’m a little too privacy conscious these days but it’s a consideration.

Plus running Minecraft and other older games at 1k fps sounds hilarious. I think I’m realising I can find use cases for the upgrades

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.

Might be a dumb question but how would these go for storage? Can you plug a lot of drives into them?

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.
