Kali linux on rapsberry Pi 4: I'll buy one, then I will also ask Kali question ! :D

9:35 AM

@Archemar Not asking a Kali question is also a valid option.

Well I could ask, but I won't be able to pretend to be a complete newbee. I've been installing Unixes for 30 years now ....

It makes all the senses! The smaller the computer, the easier it is to parkour away when the FBI kicks down your door...

9:57 AM

@Archemar Be sure to make plenty of spelling and grammatical mistakes. It's expected in a Kali question.

@AndrasDeak Why would FBI kick down the door of a pentester?

I thought hackers' main activity was jumping out of windows while being shot at :P

@AndrasDeak I think you over-estimate the agility of the members of the penetration testing community. A hacker would probably use whatever OS the target system is running, which is unlikely to be Kali Linux.

aww, too bad ;)

10:50 AM

@AndrasDeak Depends what you mean by hacker. That's Hollywood usage, meaning someone who commits illegal acts.

That terms used to mean, and still does mean, at least among those less ignorant of culture and history, someone who enjoys working with and is presumably good at computers.

E.g. mitpress.mit.edu/books/new-hackers-dictionary-third-edition

And, for example. the term Unix Hacker.

And...

Yeah, I'm aware. I meant the hollywood version, the one that necessitates posts like that ;)

or the guy the other day over on chat.SO who was asking weird basic questions about DNS spoofing, and when he was told that he should go away and learn things he said "I did kali linux before" :D

then doubled down saying "kali is my main os" to convince us

@AndrasDeak chat.SO?

I meant chat.stackoverflow.com

the real issue was that the user's questions were completely off-topic in our language-specific room, but it was still amusing

@AndrasDeak That's a collection of rooms, not a room.

Or a chat site, if you prefer. I'm not sure what terminology to use to describe it.

I figured it's "out of town" from here on chat.SE which is why I wasn't more specific. It was the python room.

@AndrasDeak Ah ok. That's the one where they like to say "rhubarb" and "cabbage", isn't it?

Actually one of the more reasonable SO rooms, I think.

Yup :) We try.

1:39 PM

nice Dilbert BTW @FaheemMitha, I don't have suspenders, nor white beard, neither "powerfull" belly, yet I fullly agree I am "a condescending unix computer users"

@Archemar I think the "condescending" bit is optional.

@Archemar It's quoted in "In the Beginning Was The Command Line".

Command line for ever ! Altough one can use GUI to lauch xterm.

Does anyone know how to install the UFRII LT Printer Driver Ver.1.50 on a Raspberry Pi Zero? I'm trying to get a Canon LBP7110Cw printer to work with CUPS on a Raspberry Pi Zero.

7:03 PM

For some reason the dependencies won't install on the Pi.

7:22 PM

I mean I managed to get it mostly working, but it's the CUPS filter "pstoncapcpca" that's the problem.

I would ask this on the site, but due to the complex nature of this question, I think this question should be asked in the chat.

I could emulate a Linux computer that does support the driver, but that'd kinda be overkill.
