  • Very much this. Watch a few chefs on TV / the internet and just trial and error. Cooking is a skill like anything else and you simply need to put in the time to get experienced.

    I do highly recommend you own a wooden chopping board, a Mercer Culinary Chef’s Knife (or better), and a 1000 grit whet stone for sharpening. A sharp knife makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. And a wood board is kinder to a blade and is surprisingly more hygienic than alternatives.


  • It already is pretty rampant, however most Linux admins have minimal if any detection strategy.

    Additionally, while there’s plenty of binaries about like VoidLink, almost all campaigns against Linux hosts target SSH, or RCE vulnerabilities, and deliver shell scripts that orchestrate the attack.

    Why compile a binary when the shell has everything you need? The threat models are pretty different between Windows and the *nix world.

    When you look at botnet composition, they’re usually made up of outdated Linux hosts with SSH open with password-based authentication.

    Seriously people, switch to key-based auth and disable password auth entirely.





  • Most corporate owned devices are managed with some kind of tool (for restricting what users can do, pushing out software and updates, etc). These tools are called Mobile Device Management (MDM).

    The developer is detecting the presence of MDM tools and using that to present a splash page to the user about the licensing requirements etc.

    Some educational institutes use MDM to manage students, even so far as to require it be installed on personal owned devices. The developer has been working with edu users to except them.




  • Half-Life was the same. The game doesn’t spoon feed you a narrative, the same way real life doesn’t have a narrator (at least one outside of your head).

    You need to pay attention to your surroundings, listen in to NPCs talking, read posters on the wall, etc to piece together the story.

    It was and is one of the cooler ways to do storytelling in my opinion. Cutscenes etc are fine but for a first person game, I love the immersion of the story happening around you rather then being loredumped on you while your agency is taken away from you.
