I’ve been asking this everywhere but no one knows so I’m thinking I might just have wait until launch, but does anyone know if this game is going to wipe hideout progress and stuff between seasons?

I’m hopelessly addicted to The Finals and I enjoyed the Arc Raiders technical test, but I absolutely refuse to put my time into something like the EFT loop of grinding the same missions to find the same items for the same traders, and building the same benches in my hideout over and over and over again.

Edit - I’ll also never find the fact that Embark was created because they were tired of PvP shooters only to get inspired and release what’s in my opinion the greatest shooter of the decade so far, not absolutely hilarious.

For offensive cyber security a good way to just jump in is the free hack the box machines. I took detailed notes on them then published those notes on my website, which I was told later was what sold my first pentesting employer on me versus other candidates.

Other than that, yeah free sec+ stuff is a good entry point.

Oh also black hills information security has post what you can online trainings. The company is ran by a former sans instructor, the quality is really good.

Ah, misunderstood what you meant my bad.

General users can have production servers also. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by quoting an FAQ at me tbh.

Judging by the downvotes, Onno wasn’t clear at all and other people thought they meant it the way I took it. I think the part that makes it obvious Onno was telling the user to use Ubuntu provided user support is that they literally said “Use the support”.

You can pin versions in your dock-compose.yaml file if you’re running it as a container. If you’ve installed bare metal then idk.

It’s not how long you get support, it’s how long that version of the OS is going to be supported by the maintainers for stuff like security updates. The reason you would choose an LTS release is because you don’t want an apt update to switch to a kernel version (or any other package version) that borks a production server.

Redpillers might be posturing, but the people who consume it believe it and allow it to influences their behavior and beliefs. Both things can be toxic scourges that need to be stamped out, we’re both (probably) on the same side here.

Edit - I also just realized that the person I replied to is on an Australian instance, and obviously realized the article was discussing legislation in Australia. I’m not Australian, so the TERF problem might be significantly more problematic than the red pill stuff in Australia, with a much higher risk of causing more immediate real world harm to the targeted communities there. I absolutely was not trying to downplay that if it’s the case, or pull any false equivalency shit or anything.

Secure Boot isn’t going to do shit about console players running what’s functionally aim assist with cronus zens or xims. They could catch the hardware hackers in the same way you mentioned, but they just don’t do shit.

You mean CoD (2003) and United Offensive right? Right?

Exactly. The only thing that I really have to add is that I personally draw the line between social media and other types of websites or internet services is whether the service is intended to be used anonymously or connected to a real identity. I’d further divide the anonymous stuff between whether they are intended to be used with handles or without an account at all.

Under that personal definition, I would not consider stuff like BBS, Usenet, forums, AIM, etc., to be social media.

I also wouldn’t consider Discord to be social media tbh, it’s a messaging application. If Discord is social media why isn’t iMessage?

Something like Twitter, BlueSky, or Mastadon could be social media depending on how you use them, but since many people do utilize them with accounts linked to their real identity I would consider them social media.

Then you have the obvious social media stuff like FaceBook, and LinkedIn.

Now that I’m typing this out, stuff like Insta, TikTok, Snap, etc., get weird. I would personally consider them social media, but tons of people use those apps with handles. Maybe in addition to the anonymous or real identity thing there’s also the consideration of whether the site or app is intended to connect you with people you know in meatspace or online.

Yeah, I guess the distinctions I personally use are becoming a bit meaningless now.

It also swings the other way. Young boys are getting red pilled by YouTubers and influencers like Andrew Tate and his ilk, and I would prefer those kids to learn who they are and how they relate to and fit into their community before being exposed to that sort of toxic content.

As others have said here though, the right tact here would have probably been to legislate away the algorithmic content feeds themselves instead of regulating kids having accounts. YouTube will still push related videos without an account, so I don’t see how this particular route helps at all.

The Lawrence of Arabia 4K remux is so fucking crispy.

Tmux is 100% what OP needs to be using.

Yeah bro you don’t get to say absolutely wrong things as fact, defend them as fact, then say “hurr durr my username is no /s i was being super duper sarcastic the whole time”. I mean you can say it, but everyone sees right through you.

Haha. “My initial comment was facetious”, the go to weasel phrase for someone that knows they’re wrong.

Go look up the official brand guidelines for the finals then think very hard about what kind of game it is. You don’t have to tell me, but I know you’re going to respond with an attempt at a snarky or “witty” reply anyway because you can’t help yourself.

You’re putting words in my mouth I never said. I also said goodbye, because this conversation is going nowhere. You just can’t accept the fact that you could possibly be wrong can you?

No one dies. It’s a virtual tournament. It’s literally paintball in the future. It’s not a battle royale. You’re insane if you think it’s a battle royale. Battle royale is a defined subgenre of fps at this point, and this carries none of the battle royale characteristics. You couldn’t come up with a single facet of this game that resembles a battle royale game, so you fell back to drawing comparisons with a Korean movie that still aren’t accurate.

Cool I’m glad you like the game. I like it too. I’ve been playing since CB1. It’s not a BR and shares nothing in common with BRs.

I’m not “defending it like it’s my lover” (which sounds incel af btw). Im not arguing with you about semantics. I’m clearly stating that you’re totally wrong about genres. So wildly incorrect that I’m convinced you’re trolling. I want to get into more of what you said about hero shooters, but further communication with you is probably going drive me to literal insanity. Good bye.

You’ve got to be joking me. It’s closer to an arena shooter than a battle royale. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s basically a hyper speed Hunger Games with heroes

Ok first there’s no fucking heroes. There are classes with specializations, but classes are the exact opposite of heroes. I guess Battlefield 3 is a hero shooter now bc they have classes? Second, if you think that this game has anything in common with hunger games you’re not just batshit, but then you also must think that literally every shooter is like hunger games.

The point is, it is about as far from a single player experience as you are going to get.

Oh holy shit stop the fucking presses. An online multiplayer fps is not a single player game? No way. My mind is absolutely blown this whole time I thought my friends in my party were npc’s and I was playing a single player game.

it has a lot of the genre’s elements in there.

There’s really no point in continuing this conversation, but please tell me what battle royale elements does the finals have? I mean specific game elements, not just saying something vague like “it’s like hunger games”.

Battle Royale? Do you think the finals is a battle royale? Do you know what a battle royale even is? Because the finals is pretty obviously not a battle royale bro jfc.
