  • Sooo … nobody uses Kali as their main OS. Its not meant to be the OS you use to browse Facebook and watch YouTube. Its a toolbox that you pull out when you need it. Install a OS that feels good to use and then slap on virualbox or qemu/kvm. There you install Kali as a virtual machine. Then you install some more virtual machines put them in the same virtual network and start hacking yourself. Or sign up to tryhackme or hackthebox. Do the challenges from inside your Kali VM.

    And about nmap. That’s not even a hacking tool. It is used by hackers but a screwdriver is also used by burglars. Every system on the internet is scanned by someone every few minutes. Nobody cares if some kid somewhere uses nmap to scan a webserver. Yes, its not technically legal … but nobody cares. Your scan will be a single sound in the constant noise. But to stay legal, just scan yourself. Or do hackthebox, you’ll need to scan the systems there as well.

    Tldr just do hackthebox


  • But dont you think universes are located under /dev/ so you lose 4 additional characters. And I hope they are not just 1 character names each, that would make it realy annoying to differentiate universes from say a USB device or a tty. So if they are called /dev/uv01 you would need 9 characters per universe instead of 2 at least for the first dimension, after that / + 1 character would be fine. So in a reasonable universe with sensible path defaults, the max multiverse depth would be 2043 with a trailing slash. So the highest dimension is allowed to only contain imaginary objects as there is no character left to assign to the objects.



  • Cells, especially plant cells can withstand much more than 1 Bar of pressure difference. A plant will not start to boil in a vacuum, contrary to other comments. Every land organism has gone though a great deal of evolution to make sure it doesn’t loose to much (or any) water though evaporation on its surface.

    However plants require on pressure and evaporation to pull water from the roots to the leaves. It will loose its water through its stromata in the leaves a loot more than normal. If the roots are in water it will be ok, just dry out the ground realy quickly.

    Most likely the leaves will die fairly quickly, followed by the roots. The cambium of a woody plant will probably not even notice the vacuum for a few months. Just like in winter it will basically hibernate beneath the bark and form new sprouts once it is in atmosphere again.

    You will probably have to cut away some dead wood to expose the living cambium and initiate regrowth of roots and new sprouts but a tree will be able to regrow after being in a vacuum for a (relatively) long ass time. Think of a tree stump getting new sprouts around the outer edge a year after it was cut down.

    No idea about radiation and heat though. If it is floating in direkt sunlight its probably fucked after a few days.








  • I don’t think sov civs actually have a problem with rules or authority. I think they are deeply insecure in the fact that they don’t understand the rules so they make up new ones that they believe to be absolute and above all else.

    They believe like dogma in this shit like the maritime flag with stripes and a court with that flag gets magically invalidated so they don’t have to follow any rulings. They get a feeling of control when they understand the rules even when the rules are imaginary.


  • Terminology: revoked means the issuer of the certificate has decided that the certificate should not be trusted anymore even though it is still valid.

    If a attacker gets access to a certificates key, they can impersonate the server until the validity period of the cert runs out or it is revoked by the CA. However … revocation doesn’t work. The revocation lists arent checked by most clients so a stolen cert will be accepted potentially for a very long time.

    The second argument for shorter certs is adoption of new technology so certs with bad cryptographic algorithms are circled out quicker.

    And third argument is: if the validity is so short you don’t want to change the certs manually and automate the process, you can never forget and let your certs expire.

    We will probably get to a point of single day certs or even one cert per connection eventually and every step will be saver than before (until we get to single use certs which will probably fuck over privacy)






  • You don’t need something ever. Sometimes you just want something because the alternative is realy bad. I don’t need to eat. I want to eat because I don’t want to starve.

    I want to watch a movie with my partner at the agrees time because otherwise they will be mad. I want to access my digitalized documents to send a letter in time because otherwise I will have to pay late fees. I want to access my gameserver because that’s the one time a week I get to have fun with my friends from my college time.

    There are many situations where I’d rather do the thing I want instead of doing maintenance.
