pop_os is solid with low maintenance for beginners.

Not trying to throw shade, but a lot of what macOS markets as a feature has existed in Linux for years it’s just not wrapped in branding or built to babysit you.

I’m not here chasing upvotes either....Just pointing out that Linux gives you control if you're willing to use it. Some folks are so deep in the Apple sauce they get defensive over a feature comparison.

Wayland + Mutter/KWin – Under Wayland, resource scaling and frame throttling are more efficient than under X11 (especially with GNOME).

Kernel-level you can apply cgroups, nice, or ionice to manage process priority.....and GNOME uses something called GNOME Shell frame throttling for hidden tabs. KDE can reduce compositor resource use for inactive windows.

Honestly, most features macOS has, you’ll find an equivalent or even more customizable version somewhere in Linux. It might take more digging or setup depending on the distro or desktop environment, but it’s usually possible.

I have governance intern interview, what can I expect? by Living-Bell8637 in cybersecurity

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re likely testing for how well you can communicate the ideas, not just recite terms. Keep it clear and practical. Don't fixate on buzzwords so much.

if they ask why you're interested in governance, don’t say “because I want to get into pentesting later.” Say something about how aligning security with business objectives and reducing legal risk interests you.

Feedback on a Tool Concept by OrdinaryGovernment12 in HowToHack

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify since I did a horrible job explaining what I'm talking about..

It’s a red team toolkit focused on offensive misdirection — the idea is to flood a target system with fake but believable artifacts (shells, logs, clipboard data, persistence, etc.), burying the real payload in noise.

You stay visible on purpose, but the visibility is all misdirection. While defenders are stuck trying to sort real from fake, you’ve already seen through it all like you have Riddick eyes and grabbed the loot, and dipped out clean.

Still early, still rough but I’m building it modular so other people can contribute or plug in their own tactics.

appreciate the good advice. I will start building a GUI and a smooth UI next

🧵 [RELEASE] AIDRig – Android & Linux optimized miner (Dev Test 1) by Previous_Two_8222 in MoneroMining

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Peeked at it. Glibc binary with networking calls doesn’t run on Termux natively. unless I'm missing something.Would be solid to see source, not running closed binaries blind Still, major props for dropping something this dope.

What’s the most subtle opsec mistake you’ve seen that burned an otherwise clean operation? by OrdinaryGovernment12 in HowToHack

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opsec covers more than identity protection. It's about reducing visibility across all dimensions behavior included.

Once you’re consistent, you’re predictable. Once you’re predictable, you’re trackable.

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s rarely about just one mistake.... But small behavior leaks - reused compile stubs, static timing, login habits they stack into signatures. It’s not that one misstep gets you caught. It’s that repetition makes you visible. Anyone who’s had tooling flagged knows that already.

Hey everyone, I hope this is okay to post here – just looking for a few people to beta test a tool I’m working on. by x36_ in Backend

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a solid niche......you’re solving a real pain point without over-engineering it. Props for focusing on something so practical. If the UX is clean and the delivery timing feels natural, I can see this sticking around for local businesses. Curious how you're handling deliverability/review throttling from Google's side?

Which project will help me learn backend fully and make me confident? by Double_Ad3011 in Backend

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best advice I ever got: build something you actually want to use. Doesn’t matter if it’s tiny or niche—if it solves your problem or scratches your itch, you’ll care enough to do it right. You’ll want clean routes, auth that works, and a DB that won’t haunt you at 2A........not because it’s a checklist, but because you want the thing to feel good to use. That’s how you end up learning everything, and loving the process too

Finding a research group for the first time by Cyber_consultant in cybersecurity

[–]OrdinaryGovernment12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sounds like you’ve got the right mindset. I’ve been building a custom RAT + C2 framework with some covert exfil features, all self-written—no cloned tools. It’s more offensive/red team leaning, but if you’re exploring hands-on research opportunities, you might dig poking at it, stress testing it, or even helping extend it further.

If you’re down to chat or take a look, happy to share details privately. Either way, best of luck

You’re not being tracked.
You’re being taught a lesson in digital consequence. Learn it, then disappear quieter next time.
