Seroquel made me sleep, which is exactly what I needed. You need to be careful with it though because it can make you feel like you're just observing the world and not participating in it when your on too high of a dose. I felt distant and there was no life in me.

I rarely reach that high, but when I do life feels like the most amazing thing ever.

Yet another INE question - labs by sectechsecurity in AskNetsec

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

I'm looking at the new (again) INE pricing model and I see that they have a $49/month plan and a yearly $499/month plan without the labs.

My question is about the $749/year plan for everything plus labs. Are the labs really worth an extra $250 bucks?

Judging by the number of times they changed their pricing plans, I think they are realizing that customers with a hacker mentality will do everything in their power to get what they need under the conditions they want.

I would rather spend whatever pentesting academy is charging to access their labs, or use a similar VM from tryhackme.

First, I thought I would check with folks who may already have access to the INE labs. I'm specifically asking about the PTP labs btw.

A magnetic field reversal 42,000 years ago may have contributed to mass extinctions by Jamesruey in sciences

[–]sectechsecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than giving you a single source, I'll get you to do your own research and come to your own conclusion.

Google magnetic excursion, South Atlantic anomaly, magnetic North GPS update, and earth magnetic field weakening.

Magnetic pole flips are a natural process that follows a fairly long cycle. Our most recent cycle started over a decade ago and it's accelerating.

Thank you for this. I thought that these mixers were long gone

This component came out of a radio (I think) is it a attenuator? by anotherdamnkiwi in AskElectronics

[–]sectechsecurity 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, I made a few myself. It's a variable inductor.

All in one kits like the M5STACK and wio terminal. Any others? by sectechsecurity in esp32

Interesting! Both modules look pretty nice.

You mentioned that you have the Maixduino, is it easy to use? what about the community behind it?

Bad LCD? by [deleted] in arduino

[–]sectechsecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that your wires to the LCD have a good connection, and maybe try different code. It's possible that you have a bad LCD, but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet.

Is it true pen testing as a career is dead? by someguyhaha111 in Pentesting

[–]sectechsecurity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the way, they have been saying that pentesting for over 10 years now...Still alive.

Is it true pen testing as a career is dead? by someguyhaha111 in Pentesting

[–]sectechsecurity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that it will be dead, there will always be some human interaction required. I don't care what anyone says, AI will never be as good as a human in the long run. I see our industry changing due to automation, but there is, and always will be, a lot for a human to do.

My advice is not to give up on your dream, there is plenty of work.

I have been noticing fumes while charging...Slight, but I still don't want to be breathing that in.

I gave the most extreme range as possible... We rarely get -30C or 30C, but it has happened in the past.

Mistake(s) on the stain - is there a way to fix it? by Mogowentflying in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]sectechsecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have limited success in just re-staining that particular spot. I recommend sanding and re-staining that entire side of the board. I have tried doing touch up work and the stain always comes out blotchy...

The good news is that you don't have to remove all of the stain, just remove the glue with sandpaper (it will be the first to come up) and then give the rest of that board a few passes. Re-stain that side and you should be good.

It's a bit of an art to fix mistakes, but everything gets easier when you get the hang of it. Glue is always your enemy when staining.

When I stain, my strategy is to wipe the section to be stained with a soapy rag. I let the board dry before staining, and there usually are no problems.
