A lot of the time, running nmap on a Windows server reveals ~10 msrpc ports, all with high port numbers. Why is it so common to see so many msrpc ports?

@nobody We don't get easter eggs because I've been on the naughty list for a while for trying to use sudo

I'd like to see some fake XSS :D

Or fake SQLi

Like if you write something like '; DROP TABLE CHAT_MESSAGES; -- the entire chat goes blank (for the person who typed it)

@MechMK1 Using sudo doesn't work?

sudo apt install --reinstall sudo

that feels dangerous

Yeah, better put a # before

also how do you sudo apt install with sudo not working?

I heard that when you start a command with # it's guaranteed to be safe

@nobody GDPR request :D

SE has very little info on you though

Wait, don't say it

I have a meme for that

Alright go ahead

@JourneymanGeek It has my real email address though. If I change it, will SE forget the old email?

Had to make it quickly :D

GIMP takes forever to load

@nobody I think so - though these days your account tends to be linked to your email address so its worth checking on meta. I am sure it has been asked

@MechMK1 ... you mean, its a bit ... gimped?

I never figured out how to do the things I want to with GIMP

The UI is very confusing

As a windows user ... I'm kinda reliant on paint.net :D

pity its no longer FOSS and windows only

In all honesty, I like Photoshop the best

I mean, GIMP is nice and all and if you put in a little bit of time in, you can usually get close to what you want to do

But then you realize that you just spent 30 minutes doing a thing you know photoshop has a button for that takes 2 seconds

And then you realize Photoshop costs like 12€ a month and is your time really not that valuable?

GIMP would be enough for me, if I could figure out how to do things

@MechMK1 Mine isn't :)

@nobody What things do you need GIMP to do?

Maybe I can help

Just simple editing usually

Like cropping, resizing?

Not even that simple

But like adding text, removing blemishes...

Adding text is easy, just use the text tool

Sometimes combining pics

Removing blemishes...so help you god

I mean I don't need it for any serious stuff though so I don't care

Also, I'm really pissed off right now because I realized I can't boot into linux on my computer

It was a laptop but the screen broke, so I attached it to an external monitor and it worked fine for me

But now I realize that the boot menu didn't show up on the external monitor

So I can't switch OSes unless I can figure out how out navigate the boot menu without any display

That's shit

Try down; enter?

I did, didn't do anything apparently

Don't want to mess anything up so I'm not keen on trying anything else randomly

YOBO

You only boot once

Wow to get an email address completely disassociated from your account, you have to go to the length of contacting SE - that's ridiculous.

Welcome to the roach motel dark pattern

*almost :P

darkpatterns.org/types-of-dark-pattern/roach-motel

well there may be easier ways

@nobody what OSes?

You could edit the bootloader from the 'right' OS

If its grub you could edit the config file

I'm windows, want to boot onto linux

grub?

how do you tell if its grub?

Sorry I'm a clueless noob

Haha true :D

@JourneymanGeek Hey thanks! You pointed me in the correct direction. If I boot into windows advanced boot options, I can select whatever OS I want to boot into.

..... oh that would work too :D

@J-- :DDDDD

Indeed, indeed

Some call him a savior, others the destroyer

@MechMK1 Speak of the devil and he shall appear :)

That's what some people say

Also where the fuck did I put my avatar without the white border?

Only M

I can't find it

Imagine a picture of Sheevs saying "I am the Senate" but it's my avatar photoshopped over his face and instead it says "I am the DMZ"

:D

@J-- Let me find something

bbc.com/news/education-55804123

The question is, does bad treatment of ethnic minorities stem from them being ethnic minorities?

Aka. does corelation imply causation?

Well - what else could be the reason?

Poverty, for example

The gov't loves fucking over the poor

or letting them get burnt to a chrisp...

No no, I get what you mean, but hear me out for a second

Ah yes, indeed

So let's just for a second assume that the gov't treats poor people unfairly, and a significant portion of ethnic minorities happen to be poor. That would result in a significant portion of ethnic minorities being treated unfairly. However, the government would still be correct in its claim that they're not being treated unfairly because they're ethnic minorities.

Is it better if they screw over everyone equally? :D

Not that I'm defending the government

Fuck 'em :D

Well, are they?

An accusation alone doesn't make it a fact

How should they respond instead?

But here is the thing

Saying "What can we do better?" basically means "The accusation of injustice is proof of injustice"

... I'm kinda unsure you could accuse the british government of leadership

Yeah, the UK is even worse than Austria in this regard

@J-- cause its easier for them not to

@J-- That is true, yes. But listening to concerns isn't the same as admitting guilt

Also J, don't get me wrong, I am 100% with you on shitting on the gov't

Because I believe that representative democracy as it is implemented today is a fundamentally broken system

@J-- Have you read the full report?

Its 300 pages :D

Then how do you know it dismisses the concerns?

How do you know it doesn't engage with the concerns and backs up any counter-arguments with actual facts?

Wouldn't it make more sense to read the full report first?

That's a slippery slope to go down though. Saying "i don't need to look at current actions because previous actions already proved to me what someone will do in the future"

No, you're looking at someone else's interpretation of someone's actions

Instead of looking at the source material yourself, you looked at someone's report of the source material

I don't think that the reports existence is necessarily a bad thing

I think the core problem of the UK is that there is no unified vision of what they want the UK to be

I wouldn't even go as concrete as political parties

Just look at arbitrary concepts, like "national identity"

Well, why is the UK economy so easily fucked?

Dyson moved here

his new HQ is... totally supervillan

I see a bit of a trend in all of europe

That all of manufacturing is moving away to get slave labour

Housing is basically impossible here to get

All that remains here are "intellectual jobs"

And service jobs that aren't yet gobbled up by huge chains

That's why I oppose a globalist market

Because a handful of people win, and millions lose

"oh sorry, that big factory that provided over 2000 jobs is now being moved to China, because they work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, have no health insurance, no environmental requirements and we don't need to pay shit to our workers"

We? I didn't do shit

I barely started working a few years back

Fucking boomers did us in

Yeah, but I don't have the option to not buy a phone either

Slave labor is the backbone of humanity.

Has always been.

There has not been a single point in time where there was no slavery.

Not just that, but people demand those companies to have even more power

Please Daddy Zukk, please protect me from those evil Nazis and their opinions. Please ban everybody whom I disagree with!
