I’m new to Windows deployments, and I need some help. I’ve gotten as far as setting up a new system from a Windows 11 image downloaded from MS, configuring it/installing software, and then running sysprep. I made a WinPE boot thumbdrive, but I’m stuck at capturing the Windows image part. Part of my problem is that I’m...
Perhaps I’m being difficult, but I’m not deriving pleasure from documentaries the way I used to. I realize I’m speaking in generalities, please humor me....
I’m kind of with you on most American produced documentaries being obnoxiously dramatic. I especially hate when they add sound effects to historical footage. The exception that comes to mind is Ken Burns, emotional but not dramatized the way a History or Discovery channel show is.
Maybe try some of Werner Herzog’s documentary films? They definitely include music and are viewed through the directors artistic lens but they certainly meet your criteria of stylistically different.
I’ve seen a lot of discourse over which browsers we use and I myself have made the switch from brave to firefox. I still use brave as my search engine though, so… which do yall recommend? Is brave’s engine necessarily bad to use? I personally like its ui/theme.
Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don’t get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!
This is an interesting observation, not really something I have considered. The key difference here is that you are the one in control of those customizations. Whether the customizations are useful or harmful is entirely up to the user, Kagi just gives you the option.
For me at least, the majority of my searches I just want the correct answer to a question or a link to a specific resource I’m looking for. I don’t really use it as a content discovery engine. Being able to prioritize sites that I have found through experience to have reliable results and exclude sites that are uninformative or irritating is valuable.
Finished Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. I liked the book, but it's very much product of it's time, the way men and women act. Also, if you can get the literary and pop-culture (of that time) references, you'll enjoy it a lot more. As it is, even though I enjoyed reading it, when I wasn't reading it, I didn't feel too much like...
Arc Light by Eric Harry. I’m a big fan of cold war/WW3 novels and this one fits the bill. Most books in the genre kind of dance around nukes but Arc Light doesn’t hold back. The sense of dread i’ve gotten from this book has been awesome.
Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy is probably the best known one. After Artemis Fowl which I re-read religiously as a teen, it’s my most re-visited book.
The kind of original one is The Third World War by Sir General John Hackett, which is interesting but not really a thriller.
Then there’s Team Yankee by Harold Coyle which is set in the world of Gen. Hackett’s book but from a U.S. armored cavalry team commanders perspective.
Larry Bond’s Cauldron differs from the usual NATO vs Warsaw Pact fare. Vortex and Red Phoenix by the same author are also great but not necessarily WW3 stories.
It’s definitely still useful and easier to do now too. SpaceX and Tesla both allegedly use it to catch leakers. It’s usually done now with whitespace and/or invisible characters.
I love this solution, I’ve been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.
Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!
If you’re looking at paying for certs I personally would stick with ones from common organizations, like CompTIA, (ISC)^2, SANS, Cisco, etc. I think a lot of the value in the cert (at least for career purposes) comes from the name recognition and trust placed in the organization certifying you. A recruiter looks at a Sec+ credential and knows exactly what that entails, whereas a certification from a lesser known organization or community college doesn’t do much to tell them what you know or have studied.
Not much from my side. I am still reading Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. It's an interesting book, even though I am missing every "pop reference" of plays etc. Someone who get those references would probably enjoy it a lot more....
Hey, I have a career question this week! I’ve been a sysadmin for the last 1.5 years (It’s a small shop so everything security related is currently my responsibility). I’ll soon be graduating with a BS in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance. I’m SSCP, CySA+, and PenTest+ certified. I want to end up in a penetration testing role. Once I graduate, should I start looking for pen testing gigs immediately or do you think I ought to get some experience directly in the security industry first? Would getting OSCP help my chances of moving directly to pen testing?
I disagree, i’ve found pretty adequate for my needs. I agree the UI isn’t great, it reminds me of how Blender used to be, but I use it for all my parametric modelling for 3d printing stuff around the house. Fusion 360 is a better experience overall but to say FreeCAD is garbage seems extreme. If you need hobbyist software and care about your freedoms at all it’s worth the slight inconvenience to use FreeCAD instead.
No kidding. I bought one on clearance from Walmart for 5$ and it was great for about a week, adequate for another month or two, and then became unusably bad after just under 6 months. Just buy a real non-stick pan, even cheap ones will last longer than the copper ones.
I have a fedora but I’m curious about Red Hat Enterprise Linux because they say fedora is a community version of red hat. I pirated Windows in years and it’s really easy but is there any way to crack RHEL? I know it’s not magical and I can use a free distro and have anything I need but for the sake of curiosity I need to...

I'd like to find documentaries that are stylistically very different than the apparent norm.
