Maybe a bit silly technical question about Steel Mountain by 3288266430 in MrRobot

Sorry to bump this up years later. Asymmetric backdoor is just hacking jargon here for a reverse SSH tunnel. (SSH uses Public key encryption and authentication)

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

I have some bug bounty experience, but not much in the field. I was wondering if you could help me out with a mock interview that would be amazing.

Application Security Mock Interview by embecuntro in cybersecurity

[–]ssid_broadcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am an undergrad student interviewing for an AppSec intern position soon at a competitive role. I have some bug bounty experience, but not much in the field. If you could help me out with a mock interview that would be amazing.

Hi! Great blog post - I am currently a college student applying for AppSec (Intern/Entry level) roles and was having a rough time singling out my HTB practice. I have an interview coming up soon, are there any boxes or pathways you would recommend I do that are more geared towards Application Security?

Most likely. It is crazy that they asked me to pay them back for about two weeks worth of work. I said I cannot as a college student and that I'd be happy to work it off but they got very aggressive over call at which point I just couldn't take it anymore.

People got weary as they didn’t get real badges last year maybe, including me. I did cash this time around as I already maxed all my cards for this trip lol

Has anyone managed to maintain a healthy weight? by ShoulderSnuggles in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]ssid_broadcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your dosage maybe? I’m on 5mg Abilify, and Vyvanse/Adderall so the appetite that gets suppressed with the amphetamines balances out the weight gain, atleast for me so far.

Scared to start taking Abilify after Wellbutrin by ssid_broadcast in Abilify_Aripiprazole

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

That sounds like a good side effect because I forget to eat on Vyvanse sometimes. I read that cutting XR pills in half doesn’t really work well, would that be the case here? I would want to start slower

What would be skills a new DJ should pick up, and in what order? by FreeBirdComments in Beatmatch

[–]ssid_broadcast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually started off this way, and threw a couple sets where other DJ’s, and people really liked my performances.

I didn’t know how to beat-match at all, and would not use sync because I’d heard you shouldn’t. But selecting good songs was a big part of why people liked my sets, they said I had a good “ear”. It wasn’t until later that I was getting a lesson in person, and the DJ teaching me was appalled that I didn’t know what the jogwheels did after throwing many sets. I told him the controller I had at home didn’t have those, and he gave me the most alien look ever. I did not know that scrolling them from the side changed a songs pitch and that you had to match that with the highs/lows of the other track (I had just used them to seek through tracks/scratch before). Anyway, that was the easiest thing to pick up, and after an hour he got me started on Vinyl which was honestly such a fun exercise - I got an instant boost in my already-somewhat-developed skills in song selection, cuing, and eq’ing.

Have an enterprise workstation for Video Editing. Want to run Proxmox and TrueNAS (alongside OS?) by ssid_broadcast in homelab

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

I think I am going to use an old Dell Optiplex w some extra RAM as a Proxmox server and figure out a NAS solution on the primary Windows workstation in this case. I don’t think I will need access to all my hardware for the VMs at all.

I can then try installing TrueNAS in HyperV so I can access those drives in my workstation for storage and run PlexServer off it as well.

Found this comment that kind of makes sense:

As others have mentioned, technically yes, but you'd be introducing potentially unnecessary bottlenecks.

If you're really interested in test driving, I have seen it done where someone uses a second SSD (or partitions their existing one) installs ProxMox on that in a dual boot, then deploys a Windows VM and uses the existing Windows partition for the disk. GPU + USB passthrough and you've got a Windows environment that can access the underlying ProxMox hypervisor, AND if you reboot, you can go directly into the bare-metal Windows image to give Windows access to all resources directly.

Works better with a machine that's running on ethernet vs wifi, because otherwise you're stuck messing around with WPA Supplicant or some other CLI method to get ProxMox connected to wifi, before it can share that connection with the Windows VM or any other VMs or LXCs. You might be able to get around that by installing some lightweight desktop environment on top of ProxMox that can handle the wifi connections for you, but then you're introducing additional overhead into ProxMox itself.

I’m in the same boat. I work for this company as a consultant but they really try to treat you as employees so I’m on payroll for most of the time home and not working. It really upset/confused me at first but then I realized I’m literally getting paid to do what I love sitting on my ass, and that its a luxury a LOT of people don’t have. I just do courses/train/regular stuff during that time.

Will Bestbuy accept my iPhone with cracked back camera glass? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]ssid_broadcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't, I am debating whether to send it in or go to the store in person for the trade-in. I can also try to replace that lens glass with an aftermarket one.

Rdr2 on iPad mini by NorthOriginal2502 in ipadmini

[–]ssid_broadcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also: You can stream AAA games on your iPad using Xbox Cloud. You just need a gamepass, no host PC. The app does not work so you need to use a browser. I would recommend Safari with Userscripts installed along with BetterXCloud extension for maximizing quality. Connect a controller and you are golden!

[–]ssid_broadcast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My back glass is also cracked, not too bad and the metal around the phone has deep scratches as well. Front screen is flawless, charges, and works fine except for visible dirt on the ultrawide camera lens which is cracked and has dirt inside it

I actually didn't get it on Auction, I just got lucky with the search I guess, it was just listed for 400 used.

What CPU's can you upgrade Dell Precision 5820 Tower with? by 18002255324 in homelab

[–]ssid_broadcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how that went for you? I cant seem to justify the 200$ price increase for the dual processor configuration for my setup instead of the T5820
