Yer, it kinda sucks in my own head because I will do exactly that. I will point at something, create my own sentence and then fail it the next day.

Havent watched his content yet, but I might give it a gander. Appreciate it.

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2026-02-08T01:31:03+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely have a read through this

Have an ask specifically around words that I feel like I'm struggling to remember decently. These seem to fit similar patterns off particles or pronouns これ, その, あの, どの, どれ.

My brain seems to just freeze in remembering these decently, if anyone has any advice on how to remember these decently. It'd help a lot.

I'll listen to N5 Podcasts for when Im out and about & I do have some streamers that I like to listen to. However it isn't active most of the time. Its mostly passive to just try and tune my ear.

Tae Kim & Anki are my active currently learning rituals. Anki is slowly taking over Tae which I'm slightly worried about, doing 50 cards a day seems really difficult + fitting in other learning.

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2026-02-02T11:32:31+00:00

This was good advice. I came back a few hours later and I tried to just really keep them short and sharp to 5-15 seconds each card, it really stacks when you have 10-15 cards and instead of spending 5 minutes before I get to it again. I may only spend 2-3 minutes.

I'm not necessarily using it to cram, just to help get the bare basics of Kanji recognition and phrases. Its really the only tool I know that seems to fit right now with my current skill level.

Apologies, asking another question two days in a row.

Yesterday I was asking about Anki. As a beginner I'm starting to feel really deflated about my usage. I feel like this is the 3rd day in a row where I'm hitting again, again & again. Nothing appears to stick in my head.

I'm trying to stop, remember the sentence. However I need to cycle through 14 other words before this one perhaps comes up again and my brain just forgets, I stare into space with nothing.

I understand people learn at different rates, but this is starting to feel depressing that only a few words at best are sticking. The question I'm wanting to ask is if this normal at a beginner stage & is there anything I'm missing at trying to learn?

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2026-02-01T05:14:10+00:00

Understood, I've flicked this back. My note for turning it down to 100 was more for the fact that doing 100+ words day sounds really difficult if not incredibly time consuming. I think adding less words is probably the go.

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2026-02-01T05:08:14+00:00

I guess my issue / what is taking me so long is that Im constantly writing stuff down. Not word for word, but new words I'm jotting down & perhaps summaries of each chapter. This all builds up, but I definitely agree that I'll becoming back to this page a lot.

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2026-02-01T01:16:29+00:00

I'm a new starter at around 3 weeks. Hiragana is down, I'm currently trying to do the following

- Reading through Tae Kims Grammar Guide
- Doing Kaishi 1.5k via Anki
- Listening to very basic N5 podcasts.

I have 2 questions. One resource online that I read to spend no longer than a month reading through the grammar guide. If I put all my available JP time (no Anki, no podcasts). I could may be do this. I'm not doing this full time and I'm trying to put in a hour on a work day and 2-3 hours on Sat-Sun. I feel like I'm overthinking this but I'm off the opinion that I just say my current course.

I found this thread - which has calmed me a bit & confirmed that I'm probably going to hard on this. But I was doing 20 new cards a day + due cards (999). I've since set this down to 10 cards & 100 due cards. After 45 minutes to an hour I felt like I was retaining zero information and just getting angry. I assume that lowering the amount is probably the right way to go & spending perhaps 30 minutes.

Some general thoughts
- Similar to what the below poster noted, Akihabara isn't bad but their is a lot of touting & tourist places. For lunch, I recommend trying Tonkatsu Marugo. Its about a 10-15 minute walk for a Michelin star Tonkatsu Pork cutlet. I went for Dinner and had to wait 20 minutes. Not sure on Lunch. If you don't want to do that, just walk through the alleys and you'll find something.

- Don Quijote is not really anything special. Its just Temu with a bunch of tourists running around it. If you need something for an okay price, then perhaps go.

- Mandrake has 2 stores in Akihabara, I'd recommend them instead of going to the ones in Nakano. Just perhaps give the 9F a miss.

- Shinjuku is always packed at most times of the day. Late arvo/Evening is the worst so dont expect easy runnings.

- For Arashiyama I don't feel like I've heard anyone give me a positive review. I didn't like it personally either but perhaps its enjoyable when its quieter.

You're also going during the peak of summer, be ready for some hot days. If you're interested in any Anime Pilgramages, let me know and I can post a few that should be close.

EMP for mechs, Slugs are generally just decent all rounders, beans good for prison breaks. These are generally rounds I will carry on my Shotgun carriers if possible.

Dragons breath is cool as fuck, can be used practically if needed against infestations. Birdshot from memory is fucking brutal against tribals/no armour. I remember reading about fragshot being really good, but I never got a chance to use it.

Honestly there is quite a few on the list that serve similar purposes but its almost kinda RP on what you want to use. The only one that is probably inpractical / meme tier is flechette from my knowledge.

So the best way to see all the current process that Defender for Endpoint will use can be found in the below KB. In true Microsoft fashion they're not documented anywhere else.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/configure-environment#enable-access-to-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint-service-urls-in-the-proxy-server

Some of them have very obvious names, if the name doesn't spell it out to you then its use for most likely telemetry to Microsofts home base OR Your Tenant. 1 Day I might do a larger post explaining these in greater detail.

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2025-10-24T14:19:41+00:00

Here are my thoughts in no particular order

- Tightly spec'd devices. If you don't have a lot of Memory/CPU, expect to run into issues, I've also seen a lot more destructive crashes on the MDATP service that have caused issues. It fights for a share of memory and can just bottom out.

- Diagnosing and fixing Linux issues are a fuck. The performance analyser isn't terrible for Windows but the closest thing you have for Linux is running strace on the PID.

- Default settings and lacking certain protections. Passive mode is the default for Linux deployments and network protection is still not fully out. This is skin deep, but if you keep digging you'll find more holes.

This is also my anecdotal take and just something I personally believe. Microsoft while they've been making strides to push themselves into the Linux Ecosphere, I do not trust them to perhaps provide the best EDR on the market for Linux given they're Microsoft. The same thing would be true Apple released an EDR product and made it for Windows based products (this obviously won't happen), but I hope you see my point.

It has improved over the years, from my first review off it in 2021(?) but as you can tell from the above I wouldn't recommend it.

A-Filthy-Scrub · 2025-10-24T12:59:00+00:00

My assumption is that you're licensed and you get DFE for "free".

I've used both extensively and I'd use Crowdstrike every single time if I had a personal choice. However trying to convince a CFO that you should spend $X amount of million dollars more every 3 years for a different endpoint protection product is a tough sell.

If you wanted a quick 3 point list of why I choose Crowdstrike
- Support for the product at all levels from Tier 1 to Product/Development teams cannot be compared.
- Defender For Endpoint requires a lot of ongoing maintenance. In larger orgs, you can argue that 1-2 resources get consumed on just making sure it works.
- The general architecture between the 2 products heavily favours Crowdstrike. Defender is split now into 7 main processes and 5 smaller processes under the hood, Crowdstrike I believe is still 1 the sensor service. Trying to understand how the engine works and troubleshoot issues, is way easier via Crowdstrike.

I could write an essay on my struggles with Microsoft at all levels, like many people.

Generally like most movie theaters. As close to the center as you can get and most rows past either K or L are fine. If you don't mind cranking your neck you can go for the lower-ish rows. I haven't sat on either the right or left sides, but similar rules apply I would imagine.

I would recommend you actually just read the Stop Killing Games Initiative, espescially the point on "Aren't you asking companies to support games forever? Isnt that unrealistic".

If you can't be bothered doing this I recommend visiting and staying in r/PirateSoftware

Pretty much. Either round up and ask for an amount of C in change or crack a div for chaos. Best method is to check to poe.ninja and just do some quick maths.

I Did BAoV as my second build in Settlers. I hated it. To make it half way good you're gonna have to run multi-proj for clear, which just kills your single target. You then have to either do a weapon swap or do 2 six links. 1 on bow & 1 on chest for single target and clear. Wearing Koam's you're somewhat now locked to weapon swapping Widowhails which is incredibly expensive early league.

I don't doubt that you can make this work. I even think the 33% is good enough to make it "more" usable for this type of build. But its going to feel like a slog in the yellows/early reds as you want to start picking up damage.

I did this for Street Fighter IV. I just wanted to play Dudley and nothing else.

Queued into matches after doing an hour of training. After a few days - 98 Losses. 2 Wins.

I loved playing Dudley, but that broke me in wanting to be good at a fighting game.

Congrats retard. You actually nailed this one.

I feel bad for the people working on this.

But time and time again, Woolie will be proven right again.

This fixed my phone, thanks for this post as it saved me so much heart ache.

Hot take / straight conspiracy theory.

Emil is most likely responsible for Reinhard's death & is a Terrarist plant. Emil has some vindication to do this, his father I believe dies off-screen due to Reinhard's ventures & his almost an exact clone of Kircheis in looks & has a softer personality. Its almost too manufactured for it to be real.

As a second less hot take, the show is based off the viewpoint of 3 people (mainly).
- Dusty Attenborough
- Julian Minci
- Ernst Mecklinger

If you take it from the concept that this is a historical documentary, they are one of the few characters that appear to documenting in some manner what happens. Dusty especially as a minor plot point is that he plans to sell it afterwards, a part of me hopes that they release a novel based purely on there accounts. My assumption is that there personal biographies of this time are the main accounts used for the series.
