I kinda do the same thing. I’ll go through spurts of posting in music communities here (as well as commenting, for better or worse) and I use Beeper to check my discord and twitter group chats, but I mostly bounce between Lemmy and Bluesky, if only to avoid “the algorithm” and the non stop scrolling that comes with it.

I mean that I became more interested in FOSS, privacy, and cybersecurity because I was (and remain) angry at reddit and all walled garden ass social media platforms.

Bruh I saw that shit, but I didn’t feel like walking into the comment section to fight that day.

I became the typical Lemmy user with interests in the topics you dislike because of the nature of the reddit migration, but I have to agree with the lack of skinfolk humor. It’s kind of a bummer.

Your nails are so dope!

Hell yes I’m adding this to my notes as well, thank you!

Good morning! If anything this was a great example of not being able to know everything when it comes to IT and especially cybersecurity. Thank you for your well wishes! I earned my A+ last month and I’m currently working on a Google cybersec certificate, since it’ll give me 30% off on the sec+ exam price. I really appreciate your insight on rootkits and it’s definitely going in my notes!

Dude… That’s fucked. They should really go a little more in depth on rootkits in the CompTIA A+ study material. I mean, I get that it’s supposed to be a foundational over view of most IT concepts, but it would have helped me not look dumb.

not all rootkits are made to do that. So yes in some cases, throw it in the trash. In others, remediate your machine and move on.

The only way to fix an issue that deep after it gets exploited is to literally throw away your hard drive.

This can’t be right.

Don’t throw your hard drive in the trash. Quarantine the infected computer, and then wipe that hoe and slap your choice of OS back on it and scan/monitor to see if any issues arise.

Edit: since folks may or may not read though the rest of the conversation: I am wrong, throw that SSD/HDD in the garbage like barbarian said.

Bruh! I still don’t get it and I’m on my second watch. This made me feel better about it. I’ll give it more rewatches 😂

One of my favorites. I’ll watch it every two years or so

Am I wrong in thinking that if you obscure your identity well enough, there’s no reason to worry about legality?

I didn’t check which instance this community was on. .world mods would delete my comment or some shit for cursing.

F*** em both. But, that’s just my opinion.

Money. Greed. Enshittification. Capitalism.

This is true. I still enjoy my aeropress.

I would be creating more waste with the k cups if I kept the Keurig

The aeropress coffee maker and a coffee grinder. I threw my kurig machine in the trash after making my first aeropress coffee.

I mean, you could just leave? 😂
