  • Using Kali? Easy if you have training. The capstone for our security course a decade ago was too find and exploit 5 remote machines (4 on the same network, 1 was on a second network only one of the machines had access to) in an hour with Kali. I found all 5 but could only exploit 3 of them. If I didn’t have to exploit any of them 7 would be reasonably easy to find.

    Kali basically has a library of known exploits and you just run the scanner on a target.

    This isn’t novel exploit discovery. This is “which of these 10 windows machines hasn’t been updated in 3 years?”





  • Most Americans on the west coast call any place a shipping container can unload or an aircraft carrier to dock a port.

    A grand total of zero Americans would ever think to disambiguate a warm water port or not. Especially from Texas. That’s the weird part. Not the word port itself.

    Harbor is usually reserved for non-commercial or fishing use only.












  • You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.

    1. If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn’t have any quality guarantees… why then does usb vs hat matter?

    2. If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.

    3. Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.

    This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?



  • This is exactly why having a couple of big instances is so beneficial. I don’t want to have to manage the infrastructure of Lemmy. I don’t want to think about banning instances for csam in particular. I want to be able to go to a place that has a set of rules I understand and that takes care of it for me.

    Honestly, I don’t think there needs to be a discussion about defederation anymore… maybe a non-stickied post… but the people who are against it need to leave / get over it. To the rest of us sane people, defederation is 100% an obvious necessity in an open social structure where things like csam even exists as a possibility. Even something as benign as bots is reason enough to defederate.

    Just do it. We don’t need to agonize over it or talk about it anymore. There are a lot of assholes in the world. I don’t need to engage with them.
