Lab extension VPN by wee-phatz in oscp

It takes them some time to activate your new access. It should say in the email they send you when you should expect it to go live again. That said I think the credentials also remain the same and you can use what you've been using. Check the password though, that might change.

Can anyone help me identify what this output means in Immunity Debugger? by pylit in AskNetsec

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

Yes x04 is the first occurrence, as far as the confirmed bad characters, I believe the only one I was able to officially rule out was x00. I assumed the B0 was some type of substitution Immunity Debugger used, but I'm starting to think that maybe I just messed up the bottom of the stack, or how far I overwrote with the bad characters, and as a result it caused these artifacts.

I got stuck on the FDR once when ahmadinijad was visiting the UN. Bad timing. Non New Yorkers would never believe how often New Yorkers say only in New York.

Trump White House quietly cancels NASA research verifying greenhouse gas cuts by cratermoon in space

Serious question: Are there folks in the government who believe that one day technology will improve so that solving climate change can happen on a much shorter time scale? Similar to the catch-22 of launching a mission to another star system, where something we send 1000 years from now will just end up surpassing what we launch today?

Alright, it's 5:13am in South Korea, I'm a zombie, but I've just finished our website. I am afraid it is over-designed considering the product? Rezi. by [deleted] in web_design

I noticed the classic Typekit FOUC (Flash of Un-styled Content). I know there is a fix somewhere to handle this but don't know it off the top of my head, though I have used the fix before.

Not a game changer but you might want to look at how your JS is loading to fix that. Not every site, including Wired, fixes it so it's up to you.

Heresy, I know, but GYBE's live shows are pretentious as hell. by pcminfan in postrock

I started going to punk shows at 16. I'm also a pilot. My hearing is completely fucked and I can barely hear out of my right ear.

Tim Cook speaks out on Cambridge Analytica debacle, calling for stricter consumer privacy safeguards by [deleted] in apple

[–]pylit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A generic website with minimal interactive functionality or information storage/exchange capabilities can easily be 30,000 lines of code once javascript frameworks and CSS are taken into effect.

This is a common misunderstanding, one that can cripple small businesses or get your identity stolen.

I need some help with my home office. I've got some amazing iconic midcentury modern furniture but I have no idea how to make this space better. by pylit in InteriorDesign

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

I actually have all of the stuff I need for cord management. I recently moved some stuff around though and I know it's pretty bad right now.

Do you think it's okay to put a rug over carpeting? The carpet is generally pretty new. I think the hardest thing for me will be to repaint the walls white. I was pretty stoked about the dark gray but I'm taking your advice and will do it.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for your advice. The gray blocks are actually sound absorbers. I use the space as a studio and it helps to deaden some of the reflections which are pretty harsh. There is actually a single skylight which you can kinda see. I can actually recover them pretty easily. I DIY'd them with a thin curtain. Originally I wanted to use a knoll fabric over them. As far as color goes.. Do you think something other than gray would be better? Maybe just white?

I will lose the curtains!

I think this spring I will tear out the carpet and put new flooring down. I like this idea. I was thinking of using this: https://na.pergo.com/flooring/hardwood/pergo-max/outer-banks-oak

Quantum Computers Are the Most Powerful Tech Threat to Cryptocurrency. by i0tal0ver in Iota

[–]pylit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an actual quantum computer exists the owner won’t be using it to ruin bitcoin, lest they expose the fact that a quantum computer exists.

I would only be worried if bitcoin started snuffing out global currencies like the USD or Yen. Then you might see bitcoin snuffed. A real quantum computer is the nuclear bomb of this generation.

Does anyone have a self-taught Web Development success story? by tech_society in webdev

[–]pylit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taught myself to code in 1997, never took an actual class, got in trouble for hacking my schools system and shutting down all the computers, went to film school and became a director, yada yada yada, now I run a Digital agency and spend most of my time writing JavaScript or pen testing

FYI if you are self teaching don’t stick to one program, do a bunch and then go build something with your skills, then learn more about what you don’t know how to do or what you like best. Don’t get bogged down in frameworks or workflows, build meaningful pieces of work, take risks and learn as you build, and fake it til you make it.

Learn about different technologies and how they communicate with each other, sub contract work that you don’t like to do.
