My first pentest (but also-)

My first pentest (but also-)

First, I apologize about my DOA jokey joke.

Second, I'm interested in using Flipper 0 for two main reasons.

The first, even though it's not perhaps the most logical-sounding reason, is that I've lost my transit card so many times, sometimes even while in transit.

(I've tried everything, I'm a menace, they still get lost even when I don't lose anything else!!)

It especially sucks when I just put some funds on there and it goes missing.

I know that the Flipper 0 can "copy" and emit the RFs of RFID security keys that don't use rolling codes. What I don't know is if a rolling code system is what a transit card uses. (Don't smite me pls I don't know what I don't know yet!)

The second reason, which usually usurps all others, (except for today when I lost my card yet again in a very stressful situation,) is this:

I have been considering getting into pentesting as a hobby and maybe a side gig for a while. It seems like a great way to challenge myself and learn things, and to explore my environment through the RFs around me.

So those are the two main reasons why I'd want to get a 🐬.

There are many more small reasons, but most of them boil down to, "this sounds fun."

I know basically nothing about pentesting so far (pls don't kill me,) but I have a family member who can help introduce me, and when I get into something interesting I tend to absorb it fairly quickly. So learning would be perhaps not breezy, but definitely doable.

BUT I would hold off for a while on buying one if I can't "clone" my transit cards and use them effectively.

And no, I wouldn't lose a Flipper 0 the same way I'd lose a transit card. I don't lose anything else I have in my hands or pockets the same way- phones, wallet, pens, even other cards. I don't know what exactly makes transit cards special (or CURSED) but... [OBLIGATORY PRE-EMPTIVE DEFENSE STATEMENT OVER]

Anyone have any exp with public transit cards?

(Also- I know I could get a hack RF for way cheaper but I think I'd rather wait and spend the money on a 🐬 for my other reasons- unless someone has a great reason why- and I am open to that!)

Anyone else get really stressed out when someone helps you or offers you help?

It mostly just stresses me out, it is not relieving at all unless I know there is absolutely no way that I could handle it on my own.

The reason?

Idk, but I think it has to do with the fact that I feel really intense guilt for taking anything from anyone, which probably has to do with some specific childhood trauma more than MBTI.

But I find myself wondering if anyone else who has pinned themselves as an INTP has a similar reaction?

F**CK IS WATCHING YOU

Does this resemble the real deal enough to be recognizable yet?

I just wish I had more paint/paint pens atm, I'd have made this look a little better

Super sexy I-just-became-homeless-again because my building caught fire face reveal

Additional context; me and all my neighbors are stuck in the sticks in a weird ass hotel that isn't really a hotel anymore and it's all an insurance scam and it was a planned disaster and it's hard to explain why I think this bc I'm so tired but it was a long time coming and I have no way out of homelessness this timeeeeeeeeeeee

And one of my neighbors is a super creep who publicly harasses me about what genitals I have every time I see himmmmmmmmmmmm

And I just laugh and say something snarky and I make people laugh but it's really starting to get to meeee

I'm also in shock (and awe! Of course 😉)

What is wrong with this timeline, I want out and I want into the one where I'm lucky and can pursue education instead of just trying to survive and carrying around my guitar because that's the one skill I was able to develop while never having stabilityyy

And I saw a bedbug on the other bed in here but my back is all knotted and I'm too tired to keep standing after carrying everything I now own so here goes :D

THEY keep trying to lower my T despite having no medical reason to do so (rant/vent, CW for what *might* be medical transphobia,)

Whyyyyyyyy

My levels are on the higher end of average, they even said the rest of my blood work looks good and even though I disagree with that (looks like I'm developing something that nearly the rest of my entire biological family has and I wanna catch it early,) the T levels are so chill.

every time I get blood work done with them, they talk about lowering it for no reason and then when I press them about it they say, "well we don't specialize in this," well then GET ME A REFERRAL TO AN ENDO!!!!! Which they haven't done of course.

I've been on 0.4 ml of 200mg/ml a week for almost 2 years.

The first time they suggested lowering my dose with no explanation (and I asked,) my levels were just slightly above the middle of average.

I think the increase in my levels is because of (and a reason for,) doing my best to get adequate sleep and nutrition and working out as much as I can.

So my levels are slightly higher and again they bring up lowering the dose again.

I'm literally healthier than my cis counterparts in my family. I have lower T levels than them.

And yet they keep trying to hint at my T for being the possible cause for my health issues.

No, no, it couldn't be me developing the cluster of things like Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, kidney diseases of all kinds, Gallstones, type-2 Diabetes, and high hematocrit that already plagues my family members of all genders and hormone levels, no- it's that I'm trans ofc! Pesky slightly above average testosterone. /s

Movie history is fascinating. [Pictured: Now-disgraced actor Pete Hegseth after falling into molten candy cane on the set of "Citizen Cane"] (Bonus: Happy Plang awareness month!)

It was only revealed years later that he was pushed into one of the real vats instead of the dummy vat (they filmed at an actual candy cane factory,) and that they'd just kept filming because he'd turned everyone on set against him.

(Apparently, he had accomplished this by stealing their underwear, amongst other personal affects, and attempting to make alcohol out of them in an on-site port-a-potty. When confronted, he stated, "I could eat all of you, and no-one would do a thing!")

The former star was later revealed to be a monster not just on the big screen, but in real life, too, when he landed in prison for sneaking into dwellings at night to steal toenails and plang shavings from people while they slept.

His tell-all memoir, published from behind bars, only sold one copy.

Workable? Replacing a Gotoh hardtail with a headless bridge- on a non-headless guitar.

Replacing a Gotoh hardtail with a Hipshot fixed headless bridge.

(Really I wanted something that looks a lot more like this, with a similar base plate, but I can't find any from a trusted brand, anything from somewhere other than Amazon, and nothing that isn't mystery or zinc alloy. If anyone knows where I could maybe get a custom bridge designed, I'd be very grateful!)

Not for a headless guitar. LSR nut and standard modern Fender locking tuners at headstock. Maybe will modify said headstock tuners, making them functionally NOT tuners anymore? Idk.

Will any of this effect anything in a negative way?

I'm not super familiar with these things, and don't have a lot of money. I'm buying my guitar one piece at a time/per 1-2 months, and trying to prioritize quality and workability, while preserving my creative vision I guess.

I've spent so much time, years, planning and going over things for my guitar, and I have no idea how I somehow didn't deal with this previously, but I didn't and now I'm a bit lost.

I just really want to know if this will work, and what the best way to do it might be. I'm super grateful for any advice.

Thank you so much for your time in reading this! It is very appreciated.

Vent about Andrew Taint and the way people talk about him

I just... why the fuck do they have to obsess over genitals? Man is a literal trafficker and rapist, yes?

So why the hell do cis people obsess over "omg he has a micro penis" "oh he has no dick" "oh he's tucking"

Like you and I both know the people commenting this shit are cis/straight and are probably ignorant of what they're saying.

But jesus fuck. Allies as far as we can throw em.

As if genitals actually have any bearing on whether or not you are a decent person. Fuck.

Look obviously he's trash-

-but why not focus on the TRASH aspect, and not obsess over genitals?????

Longer rant:

I remember being 16 years old. 2016. Trump "won". I wasn't even living in the US at the time, I was living in Peru, but I was a citizen (I've lived in many countries in the Americas over my adolescence.) Bought myself a 6 pack and drank it all within 30 mins of the nearest shop opening.

I thought to myself, "what the fuck, must be a glitch! No one could possibly stand for this bs..."

-and ofc I was dead wrong.

So, Idk... how many of you who are older than me can steer me in the right direction? I'm really begging for some kinda answer here; are humans just always in it for themselves when no-one is watching? Like are we all just inherently self-serving?

I'm 26 and despite a real fucked up life I've tried my very best to maintain love and empathy for people. But...

After the last, Idk... decade? Idk if I could even love myself, if what it means to be human is... that.

EDIT: Update: currently getting downvoted for my "don't be gross" comments over there.

I get to believe you're eternal,
I'm privileged in my ignorance,
Because I'll die before you,
And my love for you will last.

Or is that just something we say?
Because the truth is that,
You'll die,
And no-one will remember,
How I watched you grow up,
How sweet you were to your family,
How loved and special you were,
And I'll probably be long dead by then,
But I'll always believe you deserve far better.

I don't believe in god,
But I pray,
That I die first,
And that your memory,
Will be carried for generations.

Encie-Aroace-like orientation flag

Just a flag for an orientation where mental and creative chemistry are the main drivers of romantic and sexual attraction, usually over all other drivers of attraction, whether or not they are there. Messing around with design, so unsure if this is final or no.

Also don't know what to call this orientation or if I should try to come up with a name, yet. But it is one I experience, and I just don't feel like Encephalaroace encompasses it entirely, so.

Though it is similar a bit to Encephalaroace orientation, and on the AroAce spec.

Mint-leaf green is for Aro spec in general

Mint-chip/seafoam green is for fluctuations in sexual/asexual orientation that may or may not be experienced

Lavender is for fluctuations in romantic/aromantic orientation that may or may not be experienced

Purple is for Ace spec in general

Dark gray represents recognition and celebration of attraction to any/all genders, as someone with this orientation may be interested in any/all genders. (This doesn't mean that they are attracted to all genders, just that this flag does not determine if they are attracted to a particular gender or not.)

Electric blue is for mental chemistry

Sky blue and lemon yellow are for the beauty of the combination of two or more minds/hearts building or experiencing something together (this does not specifically have to be romantic or sexual in nature, but is itself sort of a 'romantic' celebration of the social relationship in a way, I guess, Idk if that makes sense exactly.)

Sunflower orange is for creative chemistry.
