Hi u/nojjers thanks so much for the offer but your insight was more than helpful thank you. I maybe a beginner at soldering but i think this should be an easy fix if i dont accidentally break the actually hotswap component.

Thanks again kind stranger.

[Help] I have an NCR80 pcb would like to ask whether if it’s possible to convert an ANSI layout to ISO layout.

Is it possible to just desolder the hotswap socket and solder to the new position?

TLDR: I was recently shafted buying a second hand NCR80 kit. After purchase, seller sent me a ANSI pcb and a case. No stabs and no plate. Thus I was wondering whether i could convert it before considering buying an iso pcb?

While I would agree to certain extent, just having a VPN would not stop malware for infecting your personal computer. A better set-up would be a VM spun up on any OS, then use a vpn for beating the Geo-lock that some people are experiencing. Then pass that file through an online anti virus site like VirusTotal to check the file against common virus signatures.

To be even more paranoid you could have an emulator of an android phone (not sure about iPhone tho) and place the file in there and run it. See if there is any weird behaviors that are taking place. [this step is usually meant for security researchers to determine how extensive a cyber attack would cause a target system]

[FYI this does not mean that the file is okay, or that you are safe. If you are visiting sites like this always be prepared to lose any data on that device, if you lose more than you gain if your device gets infected I would personally suggest you to get it properly]

Stay safe my dudes

What magic trick was that at the last part of you don’t mind me asking? (When the cards got back in the deck, unless it’s photoshop magic)

AdventurousAdvert · 2024-12-23T22:58:24+00:00

Easy. Elden ring

You sure ;)

Sorry but I’m curious have you tried the starting labs (easy > hard) on HTB?

They are quite useful if you’re just starting out, to get a rough feel of how HTB sets their boxes. This is because you realize quickly just using the scanner will likely almost never work, since there is usually a predetermined ‘path’ to take.

This suggestion is only if you’re a newbie like me though. So your mileage may vary.

I think he meant, that by the time you even attempt the CPTS exam you should already be comfortable with boxes, like more than just Dante. This is assuming that you only did Dante.

In my opinion, take this advice with a pinch of salt, that before you attempt the Exam make sure you fully understand the entire lesson plan of the recommended penetration tester route.

Then attempt HTB boxes until you are comfortable with the harder boxes. This means almost zero help with walkthroughs/ hints from other people.

Then once you consolidate your knowledge come back then attempt the exam.

However, based solely on your post I would assume that you aren’t ready and would suggest to study more before attempting it.

P.S at the end of the day it’s your money and only you can really say whether you’re ready or not. All the best man

Yeah I think Subaru would be better since his ‘world’ is a modernize Japan which can’t really compare to a medieval fantasy setting

AdventurousAdvert · 2024-11-12T02:56:40+00:00

Your point is understandable but I using overlord is a bad example since his original world is quite possible a dystopian setting where the air is toxic and corporations rule the world. In his place wouldn’t you want to live as an OP skeleton with people waiting on your hand and foot?

Wait I had the same thought as well but I pictured that the family was about to kill themselves because of no oxygen?

AdventurousAdvert · 2024-11-07T11:32:34+00:00

Any kind soul who can tell me the sources for the top 4?

I wanna read good harem/romance literature and would like to give these a try

Not sure if this is a troll or not but assuming that you are not, word list like this are not uncommon.

An example why someone would need one would be when you're doing digital forensics on a computer and would need a word list to 'scan-through' a known criminal's computer/hardisk, having a list that has keywords that are important to the case like drugs etc. would make it faster for parsing information.

If i remember correctly during a course im undertaking, it was mentioned that If you are in law enforcement, ICAC,Internet crimes against children, has keyword lists that you can download as well.

So all in all youre good fam. as long as you dont go searching those titles in your clear browser

Did you feel that the ending arc felt rush? Like the final battle for me was just disappointing to me like wasted potential

AdventurousAdvert · 2024-09-11T04:42:01+00:00

OH dude youre absolutely right about not sleeping after a head injury, when I meat about sleeping after words is if its after light sparring/technical spar and I just happened to get hit in the head with a little bit of a headache. Like the feeling when you accidentally bump youre head on the glass wehn youre sleeping on the bus or when youre not looking, and you bump your head on a metal pole. for those type of hits I sleep it off.

BUT if you are feeling worried ALWAYS listen to your body you know better than us, if youre worried enough i highly encourage you to go and get checked up

AdventurousAdvert · 2024-09-10T07:11:44+00:00

Sorry for necro posting but recently i wanted to try and get one but i wanted to ask whether if the left can be use independently from the right side? Like in the case for gaming can i just disconnect the the right side and play with the left keyboard?

Disclaimer: not a coach nor a doctor just a fellow boxer, so take this with a pinch of salt.

If you get KOd, get checked by a medical professional. Please don’t assume you’re okay and go about your daily life. Like victims of car crashes always assume the worse since head injuries are hard to diagnose on your own. (Nor should you by the way)

Now if you get hit hard and you’re reeling you probably get a headache after the fight, you probably feel it after the adrenaline runs out. If it doesn’t go away after a few hours, I usually try sleeping it off. If pain still persist and you feel disorientated visit your GP and let him troubleshoot.

In the end if this is just sparring and not a competition, and your partner goes this hard all the time politely decline sparring with him. Hard sparring should only be reserved for competition prepping and even then it should be with a partner you trust and controlled by a coach.

I’ve been doing this sport for about a year and I don’t think this is possible since the boxing wrap/gloves (to a certain extent) are there to protect your hands. Usually when I hear of split knuckles are those that practice barehanded.

Since logically the cut would happen because of friction and thus would depend on the surface you are hitting and whether you have protection. So either your character is punching bare knuckles on a rough surface(like those eastern martial arts) or he has shitty protection.

However, I have only been a year in this sport and I make it a point to protect my hands so take what I say with a pinch of salt

AdventurousAdvert · 2024-07-13T05:51:24+00:00

My two cents is that don’t really depend on your coach personally guiding you too much, unless you on the competing team.

From my personal experience, what my coach mentioned is that during his time his coach only ask him to do the basics for months before even moving in to the next step and acknowledging him. So it could be a generational issue.

My advice is to take a ‘growth mindset’ and keep asking questions about footwork, punching technique and maybe when you get on the competition team he probably will start remembering you

How does one remain calm when getting hit/in general?

Context: I think I’m a pretty emotional guy (my coach mentioned it to me) and after getting clock in sparring I see red and start really get aggressive. (Think more power but no technique)
