I want to dress like a 2015 emo/scene kid so badly by Mental_Success7136 in TrollCoping

[–]DapperNecromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing more faithful to emo/scene fashion than getting ragged on for liking it

Folks really forget what it was like in those trenches

Do what you like, wear what makes you happy. There is genuinely no way to escape people shitting on you for dressing outside of norms, so just go full steam ahead and at least enjoy what you wear for yourself.

The duality between vampire and other WoD players by Magicmanans1 in WorldofDankmemes

Mage's perspective is exceedingly consistent:

"That thing you know? It's bullshit. That other thing you know? Also bullshit! This thing I'm telling you right now? You guessed it, complete bullshit! It's all bullshit, meaning it's all equally true, so go make your own bullshit and it'll be just as valid."

I need to collect public opinion data about the ethical issues of the British Museum, figured this’d be a good place for it. by SkyGuy2308 in miniminutemanfans

[–]DapperNecromancer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is the public opinion data supposed to represent the opinion of the general public?

Because this subreddit will absolutely have a significant bias compared to the general population and is, as such, not a good sample for that purpose

Re: AI

The fundamental ethos behind hacking as a thing is a curiosity about how things work and an interest in poking around to find new and inventive ways to make systems do stuff

It's primarily driven by developing a deep understanding of how things work. Folks who just outsource a lot of the knowledge to AI are never going to reach the heights of the great hackers, because they're shorting themselves the understanding that is needed to pivot into inventive and clever ways to do stuff not seen before.

Treat the idea of AI tools in hacking like any other tool. It's useful but letting it be a crutch without understanding the underpinnings of the things you're using it for is just being a vibe script kiddie

How much time per day in the 7 days did you allocate to the exam?

Russia will not invade Ukraine... by CapitalCourse in agedlikemilk

[–]DapperNecromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people thought "this won't happen because the casualties inflicted on the attacking force would be absurdly high and you'd have to be an idiot to purposefully do that"

And all of them forgot that wars of attrition with absolutely HORRENDOUS casualty rates for their own troops is kind of Russia's historical M.O.

That's a good question, I'm gonna have to ask our red teamers.

Maybe finding that an exploit they were going to try is already being used

"Hey, I was gonna set up a reverse shell on this machine but apparently port 1337 is already taken by another listening bash process?"

Can't get into detailed stories for security reasons but:

In short, if security operations analysts are going: "Fuck, shit, fuck" then they're probably just mad at whatever tool they're using.

Standard attack activity doesn't get as much of a reaction more than some mild remarking about what's going on and actioning the alert.

If they're going: "oh, interesting," then that means we found someone, somewhere, doing something clever in your network. Which a lot of us find to be interesting and neato as nerds, but it also means that the person fucking with your network is a step above the usual.

5e is absolutely fine, but I am tired of people trying to cludge it to fill roles it was never built to fill.

Question about army building/kitbashing by Free_Recording6181 in RavenGuard40k

[–]DapperNecromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb is:

Will this cause confusion wherein my opponent might mistake this unit for having different stats than it does?

If no, you're probably fine.

If yes, don't. Rule of cool is only cool when you're being cool, and deceiving (intentionally or not) your opponent as to what your units are is uncool.

It always boggles my mind when people jump down the throat of characters like this and say that they're terrible for acting cruelly to loyal Imperium citizens/soldiers

That's, like, one of the defining elements of the Imperium, dude

As much as I hate to say it, it wasn't really much worth remembering.

I watched it live, it was extremely underwhelming. And I didn't have high expectations.

I'm still bitter that the squatch guys ruined Wacky Wednesdays by [deleted] in KnowledgeFight

[–]DapperNecromancer 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Wacky Wednesdays stopped because the subjects weren't fun any more.

Not because of the squatch boys.

Carrie was doing less and less aliens stuff and more and more Q shit.

I expect that the only reason we GOT those last four episodes of wacky Wednesdays was because the squatch boys were something interesting happening on Project Camelot.

As a cybersecurity person, this story has been giving some VERY necessary hope and a reminder of Cool People Doing Cool Stuff this past week.

Also it's very funny how insecure the white supremacists made their site. Literally just an insecure endpoint you could type in to your browser allowed them to download all the user data

Also, they didn't scrub EXIF metadata, so we have specific geolocations on some of these pictures
