The ultimate cybersecurity troll! HackTheBox, a platform where security professionals hone their penetration testing skills, just delivered the digital equivalent of a pie to the face. First they dangle the coveted "#r00t" access (essentially god-mode privileges on a Unix system) in front of you, then—PSYCH!—not only did you not hack anything, but your IP just got banned for trying something "funny." Classic honeypot maneuver! It's like reaching for the cookie jar and the jar slams your fingers, takes a picture, and emails it to your boss. Nothing humbles a wannabe hacker faster than thinking they're Neo from The Matrix only to discover they're actually just the guy who gets caught in the first scene.

Content The Nikola fraud trial has been interesting, but it was this particular claim from a few years ago had me and all my buddies rolling: "The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer. That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate." Sentencing is November 28th.

The eternal struggle of process management in operating systems, summarized in silverware. When you desperately need to duplicate a running process, the OS just gives you a fork() — which is both literally the perfect tool and absolutely useless at the same time. Sure, it creates a child process, but now you've got two nearly identical processes and twice the existential dread. Ten years of systems programming and I still can't decide if this is brilliant design or the universe's cruelest joke.

Content 9:41 A I ON 3 92 38 last seen today at 9:19 am looked into React today to broaden my general design knowledge. Just wanted to get an idea of what I can ask of devs. First time I've done any coding for three years.. Jeez, even getting started was an assault course. OK, need a code editor - download Visual Studio Code. Advice is to then download multiple extensions to improve syntax. Next, apparently I need Yarn. But I first need Homebrew to install Yarn. Download and install homebrew. This takes a while. Install Yarn. Apple then tells me it needs to update xcode. I let it. OK, cool, we're cruising... So I want to view some components. Apparently now I need to install an NPM library, but first I need to download node. I continue typing things into terminal, the meaning of which, I know not. Nearly 45 minutes has passed by this point and I have no idea what I've just done. I'm at literally step one of a tutorial. I go for a run instead. 5:16 pm V haha! fee like a screenshot of that message would get a lot of upvotes on r programmerhumor 5:18 pm Type a message
