ugh book

O ye pandorum was noce

and yet the monsters can kill everything ese

tried reading it once was too boring but i was too young prolly

that's what you get for having Lem in original everywhere

i like the sunshine too

@Lucienne d'Anwyl it depends on the difficulty

the movie i mean

Audiobooks > actually being fucked reading

Pondo solaris is more like arthouse movie

so right

isaac is an unkillable god

he only has trouble with one monster

i only saw a bit of tarkovsky's?

he meant the book @Pondo

the one that has to be vaporized

but the entire ship of soldiers

not thtat george cloney shit

is instantly killed

when a single necromorph gets on board

a single one

it doesnt work either way tato, the film is just not that good

it's like with dune

U mean tarkovsky film right?

cant film it coz its all in the internalisations

tarkovsky is too much for me lol, too heavy and meta

ye

@Lucienne d'Anwyl yeah but that's because isaac is a time lord

What u mean man its dope af

They're about to try

see

its just dumb

he has save/load

also necromorphs in general are fucking dumb

Since there is a Dune film in the works

But ye its heavy af

end of deadspace 3

i forced myself to read lem back in the day

"the necromorph threat is literally impossible to stop"

we're ll gonna die

Dude was heavier than black hole

i had to fucking treat it as a chore tbh

deadspace 2 and 3 are gay

i dont really understand tarkovsky tbh, it might be my fault, not his lol

and the thing is

he wrote fucking fables

it was all lght

and yet couldnt plough through it lol

as an aside

dune I is a

uh

iffy

to say the least

there was smth else in sci fi horror department

but then he'd spend a fucking 100 pages describing politics of living near the rear end of a massive creature

doom i wouldve been like space game of thrones

except it got ruined by the fucking fremen

Hes all about cinematography not plot hes plot is mostly metaphorical so u never know for sure what he ment

dune 1 yeaahh didnt quite hit the spot for me

it only got real good at god emperor for me

god

the fremen

are such

a fucking cancer

upon the literary world

lol

fucking mary sues

cmon they went on a jihad and everyone got fucked

lol

yeah, tato, for his time his cinematography is topnotch, but i find it hard to dig the hidden submeta stuff in his movies

stalker is fine tho

duncan idaho was cancer and a mary sue tho if i think about it

Yes it is and I think he doesnt have precise patterns too he just creates ambience in scenes to godly lvls

Stalker is more direct in its plot

didnt duncan die really early on

like everyone else?

i thought paul was the only mary sue character

and him being a mary sue was integral to the story

so it wasnt thaaaaat far fetched

Welllll

He came back

Was immortal

Was a god in the end

yeah

They figured out to restore memories of gholas so Duncan was the only character present throughout the series

paul i can mostly forginve

but the fremen were fucking stupid

Dunno don't remember that much about them

i mean

so right

the fremen

Always struck me as a tool kinda thing or a force of nature

youre ordinary desert savage

can kill

ready

5

One big issue I have with dune is how did send ppl take over galaxy

of the hardest soldiers in the galaxy

Well Herbert went full darwinist on it

for every one thats killed

5

fucking 5

despite their planet being infinitely worse than the fremens

despite their training and weapons being way better

They lived in harshest conditions so we're the toughest lol

they dont even tho

Were*

they literally live so fucking easily

all they need to do to not lose moisture is to wear robes

and they have massive water collectors

I mean it was only conveyed by his saying it was the harshest planet

their society compared to the sardukhans is much less harsh

1 to 5 isn that much tbh I mean there were times it was 1 to 10+ in georgian history

The author I mean

But

the sardukhans live on a fucking space prison

yes but this was a fucking desert tato

not a mountain

and they were on the offensive

ItsI a planetary scale

they didnt have homefield advantage

Ye exactly

and yet they were retardedly good

likewise

the amount of population they had

Also those sardaukars were trained for war from day 1

was retarded

In the first one

They were mostly using environmental advantage and worms

Man I just wanna know how they took over galaxy how did they even leave dune

Exactly

easy

somehow

they persuaded

Theres no focus on them later on

the emperor

to send his entire fleet

to the planet

then

they lure him down to the surface

Ye its just skipped over

and easily kill the armed forces of the entire galaxy

Well Paul must've gotten them guild to haul their asses

and yeah he blackmailed the guild

I dont think herbert had fully acknowledge scale of event

Ye

He treated the known universe as a country with provunces

Ye

so that social media trumps event was just a showoff basically, zero outcome

Provinces" thanks phone

i just hate him for making things stupid

unnecessarily stupid

Haha

the fremen being op has nothing to do with the plot

He's not as good as they make him to be

it does nothing but detract

hes a shit writer

for fighting

if anyhing

I read it all again after I've learned

the only thing dune is good for

is philosophical arguments

I mean at his time genre wasnt developed yet

And he is not an excellent writer at all

But yeah some concepts were neat

It's hardly a scifi hehe

Ye it just happens in space

eh

he made some interesting sci fi things

like humans destroying ai

and all computers

Yeah yeah interesting

And influenced warhammer 40k big time

And 40k is just too good

I mean loreis bit shit but world building is awesome

lor is perfectly fine

dunno what you hate about it

tbh

That's the thing the goodness depends on how much you have be willing to forgo your own sense of what makes sense in favour of the author's; the more you have to tell yourself "it is plausible given the parameters of this universe" the more tiresome it is to read

I dont hate it it just breaks world sometimes

In his case you have to forgo a lot but if you do it is extremely rewarding

I dont really mind such thinks when im in process of reading

I just take it for what it is but when I look back it kinda crumbles

you niggers deserve this

Did you know that according to the bible eve was the 2nd woman to be created

yes

everyone knows that

what are you 6?

Nah

9

oof

@Krisemann Is my culture a joke to you?

Pewdiepie subscriber

yeet yeet nigger boi

@Jack of Trades yes

yep an okay author but hardly a writer 😛

Fun fact lilith isnt mentioned in orthodox

Did you know that eve is often depicted as eating an apple because a Latin monk had a good sense of humor and made a pun while translating

medieval art is actually good

That's just a standard night with the boys

they had a lot of sense of humour

given the times it was mostly about death but hey

It still is outside 1st world

Anybody here good with cyber security

June 4 – A fire destroys much of the city of York, including 39 churches and the York Minster cathedral. The event comes a day after a fire burns the cathedral in Rochester, Kent. Both fires are memorialized 600 years later by historian Paul de Rapin.[3]
June 27 – The city of Bath, Somerset, is burned.[3]

Need help on a college assignment

I'm doing an assignment on penetration testing and I'm not sure how to do it right @Spooky Melon

@EndangeredProdigy tf you mean penetration testing? this is cyber security

Penetration testing is cyber security

penetration is second door to the left down that corridor

^

Lol

sooo......if thats what its called, what is it

breaching security for data on security?

Yeah it's testing for vulnerabilities on machines

ok

so what is the assignment

what is it *ur doin*

`testing for vulnerabilities` too vague

^

I have to exploit a web server and get the credentials on it as well as defacing the site hosted on the server

easy

Cybersecurity is vague lol

I highly suggest not doing your assignment on a network connected to the internet.

become fat

wear a polo

start balding

walk in and say you need to work on the server
