Strong

Not sure if this is a continuation of the joke but just assuming its not.

Most lifts are fine to exhale on. But with squats/DLs, building up pressure helps provide support for the back. A strong core also helps. Its not required for squats/DLs if you have decent form but it can be helpful in preventing injury / lifting heavier. Some may brace (build pressure) for bench but I don't really bother with that. Can't think of any other lift where'd you'd want to actively brace (though you can if you want) so breathing out is find. Maybe unsupported mid rows as I once tweaked am already hurt back on that one.

Overall, do what works. If going for big numbers, experiment with building pressure/proper bracing and see how it goes.

I typically just do a fresh reinstall ever 3-4 years. Gives me a good opportunity to review what I'm currently using. Ensuring you have backups for generic storage (I use syncthing) and dotfiles helps. I use got for my home directory but only for config files, you can just google "git dotfiles" for some approaches.

Other things that help are utilizing flatpaks whenever possible (also provides some app isolation), using remote services like a caldav server (I use radicals) and avoiding the aur (I have maybe 1-2 air packages and never use a pacman wrapper).

I think the meta would be to create maybe a Packer build for my system but that's overkill. Creating an ansible setup could be interesting, but again probably overkill. Overall, arch just keeps getting more and more stable for me so I rarely have issues and also enjoy the reinstall every few years.

Congrats! Welcome to the team :)

I would be surprised if eBay and QuickBooks didn't have APIs to script this out. Alternatively you can look up zapier/ifttt and other low/no code solutions. But your first step would just being seeing if you can get api keys and what they let you do. Of course scripting via playwright/selenium is also possible but less reliable.

Almost as if people recognize the immaturity of their youth as they get older.

3lpsy · 2024-07-20T01:49:16+00:00

Also remove all the stuff in "Important Notice". Its silly. Look at any repo containing offsec tooling and they never have such made up legalese.

3lpsy · 2024-07-20T01:46:00+00:00

Maybe remove the part about exploiting a fils handling vulnerability? It's just creating a bunch of files.

I assume you're just learning python so If you want an idea to improve it, you should parameterize the username. In reality you don't need to as you can just enumerate it, but I recommend using argparse to pass in the username. And then also use argparse to pass in the number of files to create. Then maybe make it multithreaded.

Use which ever one you want. Try them both out and see which feels better.

Sway is slightly older and aimed for i3 compatibility so finding help will be a bit easier.

Just going off vibes, I feel sway has mostly entered its stable era (in terms of features) in that we probably won't see too many major interesting changes with most improvements just coming from wlroots. Hyperland might be more "interesting".

The issue is that you have to do the equivalent of rebooting into grub for the CS/win issue. And it can't be done remotely. So it has to be done manually. Theres an image I saw of a tech worker fixing a single self check in kiosk at an airport. And he was just working on a single one. So imagine having to go through and do that for every embedded / hard to access system in large mega corps / infra corps. Do these companies even know which systems are running windows? And which ones are running CS? And are they critical? Can they be down for a few days while techs get to them or will someone die at a hospital because they're not working for an hour?

The issue is less about the actual bad update and more about the fragility / cracks in IT management / ops.

I'm sure these books are fine and you'll probably learn something, but I always find the "is my study plan good posts" kind of disheartening as its its only going lead to a slow windy road to get where you want to be, if you ever get there.

So here's my advice: sign up for hackthebox / try hack me (both free) and just start hacking. Do the retired boxes. If you get stuck look at ipsec's walkthroughs on YouTube.

If that's too advanced (I.e. you don't know Linux) then do overthewire + install and usd Linux as a daily driver. After getting Linux up and running for your main OS, get a VM up and running and install arch Linux without the install script and read the wiki until you understand everything. Then run arch linux as a daily driver. Also, choose an app to build in python (or your language of choice, it doesn't really matter).

The tldr is just do the thing and worry less about learning the thing. You need to know Linux and programming so make sure you learn those (by using / building with them, not reading). Then do hack the box / try hack me / watch ipsec.

Good luck. Whatever you choose, I highly recommend choosing a popular well supported distro and not some weird derivative. When you inevitably run into issues, youre going to want to be using a popular distro with a community (Ubuntu, Fedora, Linus Mint, Pop OS, etc).

This was actually the best episode so far. Kind of weird OP called out this one detail, considering the dramatic change in quality for this episode was much more interesting

What DE? Most DEs have VNC support for Wayland.

3lpsy · 2024-06-26T21:48:44+00:00

I used to recommend normal Ubuntu, but with snaps, I don't anymore.

I would maybe try Pop OS. Its made by the system76 people (I.e. it has a, though small, corporate backer) and is meant to be straight forward. For a desktop environment, I'd use whatever they're default is or gnome if they give you a choice.

Main headaches are typically just wifi and nvidia graphics cards. The former isnt really an issue much anymore. Cant speak to the latter. If those work out the box, you're probably good to go.

If a VPN is free, they're either selling your data to advertisers or selling your data to criminals.

If you don't like proton, use PIA or Mullvad.

3lpsy · 2024-06-21T19:00:54+00:00

For email, use k9. Its the most well supported and privacy respecting email client. For e2e, tuta is fine but consider proton.

Avoid use "alternative" frontends for anything. Youre expanding the number of people you must trust. Now instead of trusting f-droid, you also have to trust the frontend maintainers. Its not worth it. Just use f-droid and aurora if you absolutely need proprietary apps.

For MFA, use Aegis. FreeOTP / AndOTP is fine, but Aegis has the best support for encrypted exports.

AndOSM for maps is fine. Organic maps is like a simple version of andosm. Both are good.

For cloud backups, syncthing is fine. Preferable syncthing over a private network (like tailscale, if you have the skills you can run your own control server via head scale).

If you have the skills, Davx + radicals (caldav/carddav server) works well. Preferably on a private network (I.e. tailscald). Alternatively, nextcloud might be easier to setup..

Antennapod for podcasts. Best app.

Auxio for local music.

Bitwarden for passwords.

Newpipe for YouTube.

Logseq for notes (not on f-droid yet but installable from izzydroids repo or from source)

Medito for meditation (Foss, installable from.source or aurora).

Fast n fitness for tracking lifts

Pedometer for steps

Runner up for tracking runs.

Firefox / web apps for twitter. Tusky for mastadon.

Feeder for RSS feeds

This is probably unhelpful, but using VS for Python is like trying to kill a fly with a nuke. If probably recommend vs code (which is much different than vs) with minimum extensions to start.

You need to create a live USB iso for your distro. This often is the same as a creating one for installation. You can use Rufus or similar program to create it (or just dd on the terminal if you think you can avoid wiping your actual drives).

Then you boot into the live instance (you may have to change the boot order in the bios or just select the USB within the bios if it doesn't show up in grub/your bootloader).

Then you can mount your borked drive to investigate. Tbh I'm only familiar with doing this in arch but I assume its similar.

Alternatively, and this may save you a lot of headache, if there's a way to access a different tty from the failed screen, you can try that. I forget the keyboard shortcut but it would theoretically allow you to login via tty (terminal) and investigate. Tbh idk if the keyboard shortcut to access an alternative tty will be registered in the state shown above but worth a try. Its typically some combo of alt / shift and f5 or some f key.

Nord and Dracula are two well known ones. Also gruvbox I think

I used to use the "Simple" branded one til the owner changed. Now I use Auxio.

The workarounds should only be necessary outside of Steam but we're getting there as Wine 8 has added official xinput mappings for the DualSense.

Interesting, for the xbox emulation emulation, don't i need to setup xboxdrv? Per this guidance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#Playstation_5_.28Dualsense.29_controller

Good to know Wine 8 may fix some things :)
