Cannot factory reset phone...
2023.05.30 19:47 CrimsonxAce Cannot factory reset phone...
Hi, everyone.
My aunt who is visiting from out-of-state has an iPhone 11 that she forgot her password to. It's been weeks since she hasn't used it for anything else other than to keep track of the time (true story). Since she decided to visit, I am trying to help her take control of her phone again by factory resetting it.
So after watching numerous YT vids, I downloaded iTunes, forced reset, and updated her iPhone. No issues so far. However, when I try to reconnect the iPhone to iTunes via forced reset (press +vol, release, press -vol, release, and hold power button) now, the iPhone locks up for 8 hours. And everytime I force reset, it also resets the timer. So I cannot connect the phone to iTunes now.
I'm honestly at wit's end, as this is the 3rd day of trying to help her. Now my aunt does not remember her Apple ID, password, or email that's attached to her phone (she's not technologically savvy and primarily used it for incoming calls).
Is there any way to safely wipe the phone without it resetting the locked timer? Or is the phone now considered a brick?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Chapter 14: A Pleasant Game of Skirmish
Due to the distance between Earth and Cradle, multiple jumps were required. As such, major worlds in between the two points were designated and added to the jump list. While it extended the time it would take to get there, it would be worth it to gather more information on humanity. When jumping into a system, the Into the Black would do a detailed scan on every major planet, circling them if need be. Each system would take hours to record, but the new potential discoveries more than made up for it.
Meanwhile, life on the ship continued. Vigil in particular found himself wandering the upper decks, as Glevar had forbidden him from “escorting” Irudo while he was at work. Hesitant at first, Vigil left, believing he was in capable hands. Now, with no purpose, he was left to his own devices.
Thoughts of the garden kept popping up in his mind. Wishing to sate his curiosity, he gradually made his way over to it. Passing through the checkpoint, he was greeted with a wall of greenery. Small paths meandered through the small forest, while larger paths ringed the exterior.
Picking one of the smaller paths at random, Vigil walked down it, surrounded by life and serenity. The vegetation was both alien and yet familiar at the same time. Large trees with rough brown bark stretched upwards, topped by green leaves. Some were not completely the same as Earth vegetation, however.
Some of the tree trunks had a much darker, reddish hue, and wicked looking spikes lining them. While others had red or even purple leaves. Those with spikes had signs with foreign words set in the ground beside them, adorned by artwork depicting a mouth eating the tree with a large X. Going by this, Vigil assumed they were not edible. Why anyone wanted to eat the trees, he could not fathom. Apparently, though, the signs did not pertain to the wildlife transplanted onto the ship. A small creature with eyes nearly as large as its head, a jet black body covered in fur, and a long bushy tail, sat munching on the leaves of the tree. All the while staring at Vigil, curious as to who was intruding on its lunch.
Another oddity was the “grass”, if one could call it that. The plant in question blanketed the forest floor. It was bluish green with razor thin blades, more filament than proper leaf. Though it was extremely thin, it grew so dense that fallen debris, such as leaves and twigs, seemed to float above it.
Possibly deadly tree’s and strange grass aside… it was… enjoyable. It was nice to be so far away from war, yet confusing at the same time. He had no purpose here, no reason. Was it truly fine for him to stop? To lie down his sword, so to speak?
A beautiful flower off the path caught his eye. It had yet to unfurl its white petals for the day. Wanting to observe the flower in greater detail, Vigil stepped off the path and walked over. He kneeled down before it, taking in every aspect of its design. He reached out and stroked a petal. He did so agonizingly slow and gentle, yet even that was not enough to prevent harm to the frail life before him.
His finger ripped away one of the pure white petals, revealing a crimson red interior. Liquid, whether nectar or something else, leaked from the injury. It too was red, blood red. Surprised, he stood quickly. He did not want to harm the small flower further. Turning away, he paused. He saw his tracks, deep and obtrusive to the natural scenery. Wherever he walked, he had brought death to the surrounding life. Crushing the small filament like vegetation that covered the ground, killing it with each step.
He was reminded then, what his purpose was. He was a weapon, nothing more, nothing less. His purpose was to stand ready, so when the Nemesis came, these new people could wield him. Until he met his end, his purpose was to fight and kill. Forgetting this only brought harm to the world around him, and those existing peacefully within it. He walked back to the path, retracing his steps so to no bring further harm to those undeserving of it. He went back down the path to where he had come and left the garden and all the life within. Lest he bring death to them as well.

Elsewhere on the ship, Hran was forbidden from strenuous activity, being injured as he was. Which meant that he was practically useless in the engineering department. Thus, he was given a few of the data banks to work on.
He normally wasn’t able to pick up anything heavy as is, but now he wasn’t even allowed to so much as think of lifting anything that weighed more than him. Since he usually tinkered on things, he had created a sort of nest in the back of the large engineering bay. So, secluded in his little hideaway, he rummaged around in the data banks. Hoping for something useful.
While technically every scrap of information was crucial, he was finding fairly basic things. Knowledge that even the average denizen of the GU knew. Skipping this data bank, he moved on to another, and struck gold. Well, gold to him anyway. The importance of his finding would be graded by his superiors at a later date.
When he had opened the data bank, he had found hundreds of thousands of hours of footage. Not like communicator footage someone would record when something exciting happened, but of combat footage! Combat footage with the Nemesis! If they wanted to learn about the Nemesis and their tactics, this was the best way, aside from Vigil.
Opening the first file, Hran was immediately met with the sounds of gunfire and explosions. He quickly turned down the volume, afraid someone had heard. When no one came snooping, he relaxed and resumed the video.
The gunfire resumed, and a human male barked out some strange words and the wearer of the camera looked to the side. Hran’s eyes widened. He saw only men, dozens of battle-hardened and experienced soldiers. They were in some kind of natural depression in the dirt. Lines of men were running hunched over, keeping their heads low. All around them was dust and smoke, obscuring their view of the battlefield, but they fought regardless. Peeking from above the clouds of dust, were burned and blasted out buildings.
Then, suddenly, a man in armor ravaged by battle pointed behind the soldier with the camera and raised his weapon. The camera whipped around to see several terrifying four armed creatures dashing out of the smoke. Though the human men were already taller than him by several centias, the Nemesis towered over them. They did not hesitate though. They did not run or shirk their duty; they met the charging aliens head on.
Soldiers before the cameraman fired and were cut down by both blade and gun. The Nemesis seemed to favor holding a firearm in their upper two arms and blades in their lower two. Given the close proximity, Hran could see the advantage.
But the humans did not back away, they held their ground. Every bullet or bolt of energy caused the Nemesis to shine at the impact site. Hran ogled the works of engineering. They had personal energy shields! A man directly in front of the cameraman ducked under the blades of one attacker, and shoved the barrel of his weapon into the Nemesis’ side, and pulled the trigger. Circumventing the shield.
The Nemesis roared in pain and outrage, and cut the man in half. Hran choked back vomit. The viscera and gore were not censored of course, giving him a front-row seat to the brutality of war.
The unknown soldier’s death would not be in vain. The cameraman and another soldier rushed the wounded alien and tackled it. The man with the helmet cam straddled the creature and pressed his weapon directly into the underside of the Nemesis’ four eyed helmet.
Hran looked away as brain matter and yellowish alien blood explode from the now dead Nemesis. He felt sick to his stomach watching the battle. This wasn’t some make believe fantasy, some fictional war movie. This was real footage from real people struggling to survive just one more day. Yet… he couldn’t stop watching.
The soldier was back up, and continued to fight, but his time did not last. Another Nemesis took the place of the first, and now it was the cameraman’s turn to be cut down. Hran watched as the world turned sideways, and crimson blood painted the soil. The soldier did not stir. And all the while, the Nemesis and human warriors continued to battle eachother, staining the sandy colored soil with their blood. The video ended soon after the soldier’s death.
Hran was stunned. He had never seen anyone die. And now he had just witnessed the death of dozens. He was lightheaded, and his stomach ached. He gulped down the bile which threatened to pour from his mouth. Humanity had given their lives in defense of an undeserving galaxy. It was because of them he and his people were alive today.
He would bear witness to their final moments and learn all he could. So that if the Nemesis came, they would be ready. Steeling himself, Hran clicked on the next file. Great cannons the size of skyscrapers fired, parting the clouds in waves. As the clouds split, an endless sea of ships were revealed descending from the skies. Hran prepared himself to witness even more death and carnage than before.

Kitern was fuming. She understood Tentzonta’s worries, because she herself was wary of Vigil when they first let him wander as he pleased. But after he had literally carried her to safety, that opinion had changed drastically. Vigil was a soldier, just like her. She had killed people in the line of duty, yet no one feared her. Well, maybe a little, but it wasn’t because she had spilled blood. More because of her charming personality.
To top it all off, her damn arm was aching from not being moved in so long. Some might say she was overreacting, but having her arm in a sling felt more like she was being caged, like she was being tied down. It was unnatural to have her body hindered like this.
Of course, it was for her own health. Klofaa had scanned her arm and made certain nothing was broken. The blow had simply dislocated her shoulder and pressed it against the main nerve in her arm, preventing her from being able to move it. Once her shoulder had been re-set, she was able to move it like normal. But that wasn’t enough for Klofaa. She wanted to make absolutely certain Kitern was in no danger, so forced this stupid sling on her.
The feeling in her chest, of being confined and restricted, kept increasing. It was irritating, to say the least. She wanted to blow off some steam, but there wasn’t much she could do with one hand. Kitern paused. She did like watching sports. She could try to start a game of bailok between the crew?
She shook her head and continued walking. No, that required too much work for her to only sit on the sidelines. Besides, most of the crew wouldn’t bother participating. She wondered if Vigil knew any sports? She was sure plenty of people would be interested in playing a human sport.
“Hmmm,” she hummed and scratched her jaw. She couldn’t imagine Vigil playing anything. Even if he did, he would have to play against other mega bipeds, otherwise, he would absolutely destroy the average biped like her. She laughed suddenly. ‘Imagine their faces when they realize the person who whooped their asses is a guy! They would never be able to live that down!’ she thought. The image of a bunch of whiney bailok players came to mind. They already fell over at the slightest touch. If Vigil ran into one of them, armor or not, he would pulverize them.
She stopped again, an idea coming to her. Forget sports like bailok, what about skirmish? It was a simple game, but a blast to play and watch. Easy to set up, too. All you needed was an energy rifle with a dampener on the end to lower its power and a sensor to ping whenever the laser hit. They had all the ingredients they just needed to put them together.
She knew Asteli would jump at the opportunity to play. The spunky Venanian absolutely loved the game. Gre’Namra would follow along with her, and she could always order Onsa and Dentala if they didn’t want to join. She could even play with one arm if she wanted, skirmish laser dampeners worked on nearly all energy weapons after all. The only hard part would be finding everyone.
Grinning, she got to work scouring the ship.

Vigil was peacefully watching the blackness of space, his mind set at ease by the void. Something that many found unsettling. The Into the Black was scanning another system, on its way to Cradle. He didn’t recognize it, which was a small blessing. He kept recalling the past and his purpose as of late. Looking at the dead husk of a world he and his brethren had spilled their blood over would do no good.
“FOUND HIM!” a familiar voice screamed, loud enough to scare some of the nearby crew. The observation deck had, well, observation windows to look out into space. In this case, Vigil was at the very end of the large main corridor which ran the length of the ship. As Deck One held numerous amenities for the crew, it was frequented by many. Thus, there were more than a few startled faces.
Vigil turned as Asteli came bounding up to him with Gre’Namra following close behind. “Hey big guy! Captain wants you!”
Vigil looked down at her, “I will report to the bridge immediately,” he replied.
“Not that captain. Commander Kitern,” Gre’Namra clarified, stepping in front of him.
Vigil tilted his head. “Understood. Where am I needed?”
“In the hangar bay! Come on, you’re going to love this!” Asteli practically sang, as she went behind him and attempted to push him along. Her efforts were futile. She simply walked in place, feet slipping on the deck plates. She grunted in excretion. “Come on!”
“Affirmative. I will report to commander Kitern at once.” He stepped forward, causing Asteli to lose her balance and almost fall. Gre’Namra reached out to help stabilize her, before they began following Vigil to the lift.
As soon as the lift doors opened, Asteli rushed out screaming, “I found him!” Before she and Gre’Namra ran into the locker room. Vigil marched orderly to the hanger bay, to find the rest of the marines idly standing around in their armor on the edge of a symmetrical field of crates and containors. Strange black devices decorated their armor. One side was flat to adhere to their armor, while the other had a slight bulge. They were stuck at intervals, correlating with vital areas.
Vigil walked up to Kitern. “Has there been an emergency?”
She shook her head. “If me being pissed as hell counts, then yes. Otherwise, no, there hasn’t been. We’re setting up for a game of skirmish. That’s what the sensors are for,” she said, pointing a claw at a device on Dentala’s helmet, nestled between her horns.
“What is skirmish?” Vigil asked.
“It’s a game you play to simulate a firefight. You put the sensors on your chest, back, head, arms, and legs.” She lifted a laser pistol with a bright blue block on the end of the barrel. “Then you put a dampener on an energy weapon of your choice and shoot eachother. The dampener lowers the power of the beam so that it can’t kill you, just trigger the sensors. It takes five shots to ‘kill’ someone, two if you shoot them in the head. Forgot how many you need if the species has more than one head, though.” She returned her sidearm to its holster and waved a hand dismissively. “Doesn’t matter. Point is, you want to play?”
He thought for a second. While labeled as a game, it would be an efficient tool to maintain combat readiness and test his new allies’ capabilities. They would need to be an efficient fighting force to have a chance against the Nemesis. “Affirmative,” he finally replied.
Kitern chuffed. “Good. Onsa, get this man a gun! Never thought I’d say those words.” She shrugged. “Oh well. If you need me, I’ll be with Shavan putting bets on the winners.”
“Hello down there!” the ship’s quartermaster said upon hearing her name. She waved down at them from a platform being held aloft by a crane which ran along the tracks embedded in the ceiling. She began lowering the platform via a linked data pad.
“Don’t tell the captain about that. It breaks several safety regulations,” Onsa said from the side, handing him a pack of sensors and an energy rifle with a dampener already attached. Vigil looked at them curiously and began putting them on various parts of his body. Meanwhile, Asteli and Gre’Namra returned, now fully armored, and grabbed two more rifles and packets of sensors.
Now high above the “battlefield”, Kitern announced. “If the contestants are ready, you may take your positions!” she said in a haughty voice. She leaned over and elbowed Shavan in the side. “Make sure you record this.”
Shavan chuffed and drawled, “Already ahead of ya.” Then linked her data pad to the hangar’s cameras, pointing them so they covered every inch of the field.
Asteli ran off to one side of the makeshift arena while Onsa and Dentala went to the other. Gre’Namra walked up to Vigil and said, “You’re on our team to help balance things out.” He nodded and followed the two privates to their designated starting point.
Kitern leaned over the hastily assembled railing of her platform, observing the playing field. It was a simple rectangle marked by lines of crates. Each side’s base was ringed by a wall of boxes and containers with gaps to get in and out. Cover was scattered periodically, with head height walls spread around the arena to break line of sight.
Seeing that everyone was at their bases, she called down, “If everyone is ready!” She paused, looking between the two opposing sides. “Begin the slaughter!” There was no bell, shot, or buzzer. Just a simple shout and the two sides were off.
All except for Vigil, who was still standing there while Asteli and Gre’Namra split and ran in opposite directions around a wall that defended the front of their base. Vigil looked back and forth between the two before randomly choosing to go to the right.
Turning the corner, he saw Gre’Namra hunkered behind cover. She was pressing a hand to the deck, concentrating on something. She looked back and saw him and made a hand motion, telling him to get down. Distracted by Gre’Namra, he did not see the two quick flashes from between a stack of crates, which spelled his doom.
The sensor on Vigil’s helmet flashed blue twice in quick succession, and all the sensors lit up. Indicating he was out.
“You’re dead Vigil, go sit on the side,” Kitern called down from her perch. Confused, Vigil did as ordered and observed the brief firefight. Gre’Namra, now revealed, had a small shootout with Onsa who had taken out Vigil. Gre’Namra returned fire, attempting to suppress Onsa.
When Onsa stopped shooting, Gre’Namra attempted to pull back get behind taller cover. The moment she left her stack of boxes, Onsa resumed firing and tagged her back three times. Though she was hit, she was not out. Cursing and slapping her tail on the deck in agitation, she elected to pull back and meet up with Asteli on the opposite side of the battlefield from her, rather than continue fighting Onsa. Gre’Namra fired blindly over cover, causing Onsa to duck down and give her a chance to escape.
Meanwhile, Asteli had pushed far forward, quickly being pinned down by Dentala. Already hit twice, she was reluctant to return fire. Until Gre’Namra appeared, she kneeled and leaned around cover, hitting Dentala and forcing her back. Now relieved, Asteli advanced with Gre’Namra’s over watch.
However, in their haste, they failed to ensure their flank was secure. As out of nowhere, Asteli was gunned down by Onsa firing diagonally from across the field.
Asteli stomped her foot and cursed, before trudging over to the side. Gre’Namra, now alone, pulled back to her base. She wanted to use the tight confines to her advantage, forcing her enemies to come to her. However, Dentala had other plans for her. Using Asteli’s tactics, she pushed hard, going down the center of the field where Gre’Namra had no sightlines.
As Dentala was advancing, she lept over low cover, set in between two walls. Waiting on the other side of the walls, was Gre’Namra. Gre’Namra had stopped retreating, when she realized she would only be trapping herself. Guessing that her seniors would assume she was running with her tail between her legs, she decided to lay a trap of her own. Using her species’ advanced sensory organs to track Dentala, even without line of sight, and set up where she would least expect.
Dentala was mid jump, when Gre’Namra opened fire. She was ‘dead’, before she even landed. “Tsk. That was smart, too bad you’re dead,” Dentala said with a bitter undertone.
Gre’Namra scoffed. “What? Look who talking!” As soon as the words left her mouth, her sensors flashed and stayed lit, indication she was dead.
Someone tapped the barrel of an energy rifle on the back of her helmet. “Remember your opponents. Lioranians have excellent speed and agility. If you aren’t paying attention, we can run up on you before you have time to react,” Onsa bragged from behind her.
Gre’Namra thumped her tail on the ground. “I could have sensed you anyway if I wasn’t wearing this armor! It reduces my sight time too much!”
“True,” Onsa nodded. “But without that armor, you would have been dead already.”
Kitern suddenly began clapping a hand on a section of railing, drawing everyone’s attention. “You did good privates. Better than I had thought. Vigil, you did about what I expected for your first time,” she said, looking down at everyone. Asteli was busy punching Vigil in the arm, blaming him for their loss. Vigil barely even registered the blows, let alone was harmed by them.
“Everyone, go back to your bases and get ready for round two. I’m hoping to see some improvement,” she said merrily, enjoying the show.
Taking up the same position as last time, Kitern began counting down. Asteli punched Vigil’s arm again. “Use some of that ass kicking energy you showed us on that Nemesis ship this tim-”
Kitern had finished counting down. The moment she did, Vigil practically disappeared. Startling Asteli and Gre’Namra, even Kitern and Shavan were wide eyed when Vigil darted around the container walls, making up their base.
They grew even wider, and their jaws appeared to hit the floor as they watched Vigil dash across the battlefield. He was a blur, rushing over and around cover. Already nearing the enemy base. He jumped on top of a waist high stack of crates and used both of his powerful legs to jump straight up and over Dentala’s and Onsa’s front wall.
The two marines hadn’t even left the confines of their base, when the light was blocked out by Vigil sailing above them. In an instant, the sensors on their heads flashed twice, then remained on, signaling their demise.
Vigil landed on both feet and went into a squat to help transfer some of the energy from his impact. He cleared the entire base and ended up on the outside of the arena. The deck reverberated from the force of his body slamming into it and created a mini avalanche of poorly stacked boxes. As the various boxes and crates fell away, Onsa and Dentala were graced with a view of Vigil’s back, as he slowly rose to an upright position.
They stared at him, flabbergasted. “How?” Dentala whispered in disbelief.
Kitern watched, just as stunned. “Uhhh… the match is… over,” she said slowly.
“What?!” Asteli shouted from her side of the field. She stuck her head out from behind cover, making sure it wasn’t a trap, before approaching the other base. Seeing that Dentala and Onsa were really out, she walked up to them and chuckled. “Remember your opponents. Humans have excellent speed and agility,” she mimicked Onsa’s earlier statement mockingly.
Onsa scowled at her. She then rotated her rifle with one arm and shot Asteli. Asteli returned the gesture by blowing her species’ equivalent of a raspberry. “Alright, alright. Settle down children,” Kitern announced as her platform lowered. “Normally you would be tied one for one, but now that Vigil seems to be trying. I doubt you’ll be getting any more points.” She directed the tail end of her sentence to Onsa and Dentala.
Dentala protested and gestured to the large imposing man who was now gathered with the others. “We can take him. Now that we know what he can do, we can beat him.”
Kitern waved her off. “I love the enthusiasm, but we couldn’t take him when we had actual guns. And he was literally dying. You can’t take him on now. Not the two of you atleast.” She then did something not characteristic of her species. Kitern grinned, barring her teeth. To a Lioranian, showing one’s teeth was a declaration of war, that you wanted to fight, that blood would soon be spilled. They also did it subconsciously when faced with a foe or extreme challenge. And right now, Vigil was both.
Kitern reached over and took off her sling. She rolled her left arm, causing it to pop. “You aren’t supposed to move your arm!” Onsa nagged.
“Yeah, yeah. What the doc don’t know won’t hurt her.” She picked up a pack of sensors and began putting them on. The sensor for her head looked stupid sitting on top of her head, like a little hat. “I’m joining in now, kiddos.”
“Um, captain. You aren’t wearing armor,” Gre’Namra pointed out.
“And?” Kitern scoffed. “Unless you take that dampener off, I can be as naked as the day I was born and not get hurt. At most it’ll singe my fur.”
Asteli spoke up, a nervous undertone in her voice. “Even with Vigil, ma’am, we can’t beat you.”
“You two won’t, but Vigil could. So it’s a good thing you won’t be fighting me,” she replied cryptically. The other four marines looked at her confused. Seeing their reactions, she chuffed and laughed. “Watching you all go at it made me excited. And since we’re still O for one against big boy over there. I think it’s time we evened the score.”
“You mean…” Dentala said, catching on.
Kitern nodded. “Yep. It’s going to be a five versus one. We’re going to have a grudge match.”
All eyes turned to Vigil. He simply tilted his head, not sure why everyone was looking at him.

Hello, I am back! For how long? I have no idea, but until I have to leave again, I'll be uploading as normal. Also, after this point, you may occasionally see stories called Orphan: Tales of the Past, where I give a bit more backstory or just write "bolter porn", (I hope I'm using that correctly) essentially just action packed wabattle scenes from the Human Nemesis war. To be honest, 99% of it is bolter porn. I have backstory chapters for several characters set up, but haven't actually written any yet.

Opening the first file, Hran was immediately met with the sounds of gunfire and explosions. He quickly turned down the volume, afraid someone had heard. When no one came snooping, he relaxed and resumed the video.
The gunfire resumed, and a human male barked out some strange words and the wearer of the camera looked to the side. Hran’s eyes widened. He saw only men, dozens of battle-hardened and experienced soldiers. They were in some kind of natural depression in the dirt. Lines of men were running hunched over, keeping their heads low. All around them was dust and smoke, obscuring their view of the battlefield, but they fought regardless. Peeking from above the clouds of dust, were burned and blasted out buildings.
Then, suddenly, a man in armor ravaged by battle pointed behind the soldier with the camera and raised his weapon. The camera whipped around to see several terrifying four armed creatures dashing out of the smoke. Though the human men were already taller than him by several centias, the Nemesis towered over them. They did not hesitate though. They did not run or shirk their duty; they met the charging aliens head on.
Soldiers before the cameraman fired and were cut down by both blade and gun. The Nemesis seemed to favor holding a firearm in their upper two arms and blades in their lower two. Given the close proximity, Hran could see the advantage.
But the humans did not back away, they held their ground. Every bullet or bolt of energy caused the Nemesis to shine at the impact site. Hran ogled the works of engineering. They had personal energy shields! A man directly in front of the cameraman ducked under the blades of one attacker, and shoved the barrel of his weapon into the Nemesis’ side, and pulled the trigger. Circumventing the shield.
The Nemesis roared in pain and outrage, and cut the man in half. Hran choked back vomit. The viscera and gore were not censored of course, giving him a front-row seat to the brutality of war.
The unknown soldier’s death would not be in vain. The cameraman and another soldier rushed the wounded alien and tackled it. The man with the helmet cam straddled the creature and pressed his weapon directly into the underside of the Nemesis’ four eyed helmet.
Hran looked away as brain matter and yellowish alien blood explode from the now dead Nemesis. He felt sick to his stomach watching the battle. This wasn’t some make believe fantasy, some fictional war movie. This was real footage from real people struggling to survive just one more day. Yet… he couldn’t stop watching.
The soldier was back up, and continued to fight, but his time did not last. Another Nemesis took the place of the first, and now it was the cameraman’s turn to be cut down. Hran watched as the world turned sideways, and crimson blood painted the soil. The soldier did not stir. And all the while, the Nemesis and human warriors continued to battle eachother, staining the sandy colored soil with their blood. The video ended soon after the soldier’s death.
Hran was stunned. He had never seen anyone die. And now he had just witnessed the death of dozens. He was lightheaded, and his stomach ached. He gulped down the bile which threatened to pour from his mouth. Humanity had given their lives in defense of an undeserving galaxy. It was because of them he and his people were alive today.
He would bear witness to their final moments and learn all he could. So that if the Nemesis came, they would be ready. Steeling himself, Hran clicked on the next file. Great cannons the size of skyscrapers fired, parting the clouds in waves. As the clouds split, an endless sea of ships were revealed descending from the skies. Hran prepared himself to witness even more death and carnage than before.

Kitern was fuming. She understood Tentzonta’s worries, because she herself was wary of Vigil when they first let him wander as he pleased. But after he had literally carried her to safety, that opinion had changed drastically. Vigil was a soldier, just like her. She had killed people in the line of duty, yet no one feared her. Well, maybe a little, but it wasn’t because she had spilled blood. More because of her charming personality.
To top it all off, her damn arm was aching from not being moved in so long. Some might say she was overreacting, but having her arm in a sling felt more like she was being caged, like she was being tied down. It was unnatural to have her body hindered like this.
Of course, it was for her own health. Klofaa had scanned her arm and made certain nothing was broken. The blow had simply dislocated her shoulder and pressed it against the main nerve in her arm, preventing her from being able to move it. Once her shoulder had been re-set, she was able to move it like normal. But that wasn’t enough for Klofaa. She wanted to make absolutely certain Kitern was in no danger, so forced this stupid sling on her.
The feeling in her chest, of being confined and restricted, kept increasing. It was irritating, to say the least. She wanted to blow off some steam, but there wasn’t much she could do with one hand. Kitern paused. She did like watching sports. She could try to start a game of bailok between the crew?
She shook her head and continued walking. No, that required too much work for her to only sit on the sidelines. Besides, most of the crew wouldn’t bother participating. She wondered if Vigil knew any sports? She was sure plenty of people would be interested in playing a human sport.
“Hmmm,” she hummed and scratched her jaw. She couldn’t imagine Vigil playing anything. Even if he did, he would have to play against other mega bipeds, otherwise, he would absolutely destroy the average biped like her. She laughed suddenly. ‘Imagine their faces when they realize the person who whooped their asses is a guy! They would never be able to live that down!’ she thought. The image of a bunch of whiney bailok players came to mind. They already fell over at the slightest touch. If Vigil ran into one of them, armor or not, he would pulverize them.
She stopped again, an idea coming to her. Forget sports like bailok, what about skirmish? It was a simple game, but a blast to play and watch. Easy to set up, too. All you needed was an energy rifle with a dampener on the end to lower its power and a sensor to ping whenever the laser hit. They had all the ingredients they just needed to put them together.
She knew Asteli would jump at the opportunity to play. The spunky Venanian absolutely loved the game. Gre’Namra would follow along with her, and she could always order Onsa and Dentala if they didn’t want to join. She could even play with one arm if she wanted, skirmish laser dampeners worked on nearly all energy weapons after all. The only hard part would be finding everyone.
Grinning, she got to work scouring the ship.
-
Vigil was peacefully watching the blackness of space, his mind set at ease by the void. Something that many found unsettling. The Into the Black was scanning another system, on its way to Cradle. He didn’t recognize it, which was a small blessing. He kept recalling the past and his purpose as of late. Looking at the dead husk of a world he and his brethren had spilled their blood over would do no good.
“FOUND HIM!” a familiar voice screamed, loud enough to scare some of the nearby crew. The observation deck had, well, observation windows to look out into space. In this case, Vigil was at the very end of the large main corridor which ran the length of the ship. As Deck One held numerous amenities for the crew, it was frequented by many. Thus, there were more than a few startled faces.
Vigil turned as Asteli came bounding up to him with Gre’Namra following close behind. “Hey big guy! Captain wants you!”
Vigil looked down at her, “I will report to the bridge immediately,” he replied.
“Not that captain. Commander Kitern,” Gre’Namra clarified, stepping in front of him.
Vigil tilted his head. “Understood. Where am I needed?”
“In the hangar bay! Come on, you’re going to love this!” Asteli practically sang, as she went behind him and attempted to push him along. Her efforts were futile. She simply walked in place, feet slipping on the deck plates. She grunted in excretion. “Come on!”
“Affirmative. I will report to commander Kitern at once.” He stepped forward, causing Asteli to lose her balance and almost fall. Gre’Namra reached out to help stabilize her, before they began following Vigil to the lift.
As soon as the lift doors opened, Asteli rushed out screaming, “I found him!” Before she and Gre’Namra ran into the locker room. Vigil marched orderly to the hanger bay, to find the rest of the marines idly standing around in their armor on the edge of a symmetrical field of crates and containors. Strange black devices decorated their armor. One side was flat to adhere to their armor, while the other had a slight bulge. They were stuck at intervals, correlating with vital areas.
Vigil walked up to Kitern. “Has there been an emergency?”
She shook her head. “If me being pissed as hell counts, then yes. Otherwise, no, there hasn’t been. We’re setting up for a game of skirmish. That’s what the sensors are for,” she said, pointing a claw at a device on Dentala’s helmet, nestled between her horns.
“What is skirmish?” Vigil asked.
“It’s a game you play to simulate a firefight. You put the sensors on your chest, back, head, arms, and legs.” She lifted a laser pistol with a bright blue block on the end of the barrel. “Then you put a dampener on an energy weapon of your choice and shoot eachother. The dampener lowers the power of the beam so that it can’t kill you, just trigger the sensors. It takes five shots to ‘kill’ someone, two if you shoot them in the head. Forgot how many you need if the species has more than one head, though.” She returned her sidearm to its holster and waved a hand dismissively. “Doesn’t matter. Point is, you want to play?”
He thought for a second. While labeled as a game, it would be an efficient tool to maintain combat readiness and test his new allies’ capabilities. They would need to be an efficient fighting force to have a chance against the Nemesis. “Affirmative,” he finally replied.
Kitern chuffed. “Good. Onsa, get this man a gun! Never thought I’d say those words.” She shrugged. “Oh well. If you need me, I’ll be with Shavan putting bets on the winners.”
“Hello down there!” the ship’s quartermaster said upon hearing her name. She waved down at them from a platform being held aloft by a crane which ran along the tracks embedded in the ceiling. She began lowering the platform via a linked data pad.
“Don’t tell the captain about that. It breaks several safety regulations,” Onsa said from the side, handing him a pack of sensors and an energy rifle with a dampener already attached. Vigil looked at them curiously and began putting them on various parts of his body. Meanwhile, Asteli and Gre’Namra returned, now fully armored, and grabbed two more rifles and packets of sensors.
Now high above the “battlefield”, Kitern announced. “If the contestants are ready, you may take your positions!” she said in a haughty voice. She leaned over and elbowed Shavan in the side. “Make sure you record this.”
Shavan chuffed and drawled, “Already ahead of ya.” Then linked her data pad to the hangar’s cameras, pointing them so they covered every inch of the field.
Asteli ran off to one side of the makeshift arena while Onsa and Dentala went to the other. Gre’Namra walked up to Vigil and said, “You’re on our team to help balance things out.” He nodded and followed the two privates to their designated starting point.
Kitern leaned over the hastily assembled railing of her platform, observing the playing field. It was a simple rectangle marked by lines of crates. Each side’s base was ringed by a wall of boxes and containers with gaps to get in and out. Cover was scattered periodically, with head height walls spread around the arena to break line of sight.
Seeing that everyone was at their bases, she called down, “If everyone is ready!” She paused, looking between the two opposing sides. “Begin the slaughter!” There was no bell, shot, or buzzer. Just a simple shout and the two sides were off.
All except for Vigil, who was still standing there while Asteli and Gre’Namra split and ran in opposite directions around a wall that defended the front of their base. Vigil looked back and forth between the two before randomly choosing to go to the right.
Turning the corner, he saw Gre’Namra hunkered behind cover. She was pressing a hand to the deck, concentrating on something. She looked back and saw him and made a hand motion, telling him to get down. Distracted by Gre’Namra, he did not see the two quick flashes from between a stack of crates, which spelled his doom.
The sensor on Vigil’s helmet flashed blue twice in quick succession, and all the sensors lit up. Indicating he was out.
“You’re dead Vigil, go sit on the side,” Kitern called down from her perch. Confused, Vigil did as ordered and observed the brief firefight. Gre’Namra, now revealed, had a small shootout with Onsa who had taken out Vigil. Gre’Namra returned fire, attempting to suppress Onsa.
When Onsa stopped shooting, Gre’Namra attempted to pull back get behind taller cover. The moment she left her stack of boxes, Onsa resumed firing and tagged her back three times. Though she was hit, she was not out. Cursing and slapping her tail on the deck in agitation, she elected to pull back and meet up with Asteli on the opposite side of the battlefield from her, rather than continue fighting Onsa. Gre’Namra fired blindly over cover, causing Onsa to duck down and give her a chance to escape.
Meanwhile, Asteli had pushed far forward, quickly being pinned down by Dentala. Already hit twice, she was reluctant to return fire. Until Gre’Namra appeared, she kneeled and leaned around cover, hitting Dentala and forcing her back. Now relieved, Asteli advanced with Gre’Namra’s over watch.
However, in their haste, they failed to ensure their flank was secure. As out of nowhere, Asteli was gunned down by Onsa firing diagonally from across the field.
Asteli stomped her foot and cursed, before trudging over to the side. Gre’Namra, now alone, pulled back to her base. She wanted to use the tight confines to her advantage, forcing her enemies to come to her. However, Dentala had other plans for her. Using Asteli’s tactics, she pushed hard, going down the center of the field where Gre’Namra had no sightlines.
As Dentala was advancing, she lept over low cover, set in between two walls. Waiting on the other side of the walls, was Gre’Namra. Gre’Namra had stopped retreating, when she realized she would only be trapping herself. Guessing that her seniors would assume she was running with her tail between her legs, she decided to lay a trap of her own. Using her species’ advanced sensory organs to track Dentala, even without line of sight, and set up where she would least expect.
Dentala was mid jump, when Gre’Namra opened fire. She was ‘dead’, before she even landed. “Tsk. That was smart, too bad you’re dead,” Dentala said with a bitter undertone.
Gre’Namra scoffed. “What? Look who talking!” As soon as the words left her mouth, her sensors flashed and stayed lit, indication she was dead.
Someone tapped the barrel of an energy rifle on the back of her helmet. “Remember your opponents. Lioranians have excellent speed and agility. If you aren’t paying attention, we can run up on you before you have time to react,” Onsa bragged from behind her.
Gre’Namra thumped her tail on the ground. “I could have sensed you anyway if I wasn’t wearing this armor! It reduces my sight time too much!”
“True,” Onsa nodded. “But without that armor, you would have been dead already.”
Kitern suddenly began clapping a hand on a section of railing, drawing everyone’s attention. “You did good privates. Better than I had thought. Vigil, you did about what I expected for your first time,” she said, looking down at everyone. Asteli was busy punching Vigil in the arm, blaming him for their loss. Vigil barely even registered the blows, let alone was harmed by them.
“Everyone, go back to your bases and get ready for round two. I’m hoping to see some improvement,” she said merrily, enjoying the show.
Taking up the same position as last time, Kitern began counting down. Asteli punched Vigil’s arm again. “Use some of that ass kicking energy you showed us on that Nemesis ship this tim-”
Kitern had finished counting down. The moment she did, Vigil practically disappeared. Startling Asteli and Gre’Namra, even Kitern and Shavan were wide eyed when Vigil darted around the container walls, making up their base.
They grew even wider, and their jaws appeared to hit the floor as they watched Vigil dash across the battlefield. He was a blur, rushing over and around cover. Already nearing the enemy base. He jumped on top of a waist high stack of crates and used both of his powerful legs to jump straight up and over Dentala’s and Onsa’s front wall.
The two marines hadn’t even left the confines of their base, when the light was blocked out by Vigil sailing above them. In an instant, the sensors on their heads flashed twice, then remained on, signaling their demise.
Vigil landed on both feet and went into a squat to help transfer some of the energy from his impact. He cleared the entire base and ended up on the outside of the arena. The deck reverberated from the force of his body slamming into it and created a mini avalanche of poorly stacked boxes. As the various boxes and crates fell away, Onsa and Dentala were graced with a view of Vigil’s back, as he slowly rose to an upright position.
They stared at him, flabbergasted. “How?” Dentala whispered in disbelief.
Kitern watched, just as stunned. “Uhhh… the match is… over,” she said slowly.
“What?!” Asteli shouted from her side of the field. She stuck her head out from behind cover, making sure it wasn’t a trap, before approaching the other base. Seeing that Dentala and Onsa were really out, she walked up to them and chuckled. “Remember your opponents. Humans have excellent speed and agility,” she mimicked Onsa’s earlier statement mockingly.
Onsa scowled at her. She then rotated her rifle with one arm and shot Asteli. Asteli returned the gesture by blowing her species’ equivalent of a raspberry. “Alright, alright. Settle down children,” Kitern announced as her platform lowered. “Normally you would be tied one for one, but now that Vigil seems to be trying. I doubt you’ll be getting any more points.” She directed the tail end of her sentence to Onsa and Dentala.
Dentala protested and gestured to the large imposing man who was now gathered with the others. “We can take him. Now that we know what he can do, we can beat him.”
Kitern waved her off. “I love the enthusiasm, but we couldn’t take him when we had actual guns. And he was literally dying. You can’t take him on now. Not the two of you atleast.” She then did something not characteristic of her species. Kitern grinned, barring her teeth. To a Lioranian, showing one’s teeth was a declaration of war, that you wanted to fight, that blood would soon be spilled. They also did it subconsciously when faced with a foe or extreme challenge. And right now, Vigil was both.
Kitern reached over and took off her sling. She rolled her left arm, causing it to pop. “You aren’t supposed to move your arm!” Onsa nagged.
“Yeah, yeah. What the doc don’t know won’t hurt her.” She picked up a pack of sensors and began putting them on. The sensor for her head looked stupid sitting on top of her head, like a little hat. “I’m joining in now, kiddos.”
“Um, captain. You aren’t wearing armor,” Gre’Namra pointed out.
“And?” Kitern scoffed. “Unless you take that dampener off, I can be as naked as the day I was born and not get hurt. At most it’ll singe my fur.”
Asteli spoke up, a nervous undertone in her voice. “Even with Vigil, ma’am, we can’t beat you.”
“You two won’t, but Vigil could. So it’s a good thing you won’t be fighting me,” she replied cryptically. The other four marines looked at her confused. Seeing their reactions, she chuffed and laughed. “Watching you all go at it made me excited. And since we’re still O for one against big boy over there. I think it’s time we evened the score.”
“You mean…” Dentala said, catching on.
Kitern nodded. “Yep. It’s going to be a five versus one. We’re going to have a grudge match.”
All eyes turned to Vigil. He simply tilted his head, not sure why everyone was looking at him.
Hello, I am back! For how long? I have no idea, but until I have to leave again, I'll be uploading as normal. Also, after this point, you may occasionally see stories called Orphan: Tales of the Past, where I give a bit more backstory or just write "bolter porn", (I hope I'm using that correctly) essentially just action packed wabattle scenes from the Human Nemesis war. To be honest, 99% of it is bolter porn. I have backstory chapters for several characters set up, but haven't actually written any yet.

I am looking for a way to lock/vault files on my hard drive, where they are only accessible through password or bio-verification or other secure means. I don't know if something like this exists, it seems most vault options are cloud based storage, and I don't want to use the cloud. Is there a program that does this? If anyone can even point me in the direction of some good reading to do on this, or some articles, that would be helpful. Ideally I'd like to be able to download or create a file, move it to a specific folder, and have it secured from everything unless that folder is unlocked. I am on a desktop using Win 10, I do not plan on switching my OS or moving to Win 11. Thanks!

Alright so I'm currently deployed and the internet is sold by a local who charges way too much and you have to pay per device. I'm trying to tether the wi-fi from my phone to my PC but that's not working. My laptop shows the tethered network but there's no internet. Is there a workaround? We also have our own router, is there a way for me to connect my internet account to the router (having my router show the username and password) then run multiple devices off that router?
I have SEC+ and know nothing.

2023.05.30 19:03 Lost-Entrepreneur439 i really fucking hate phone wars bruh
i made a post complaining about an annoying ass iphone user telling me to switch a few minutes ago but i'm making this post now because i just want to rant about it more
like bro why do you care about what phone i use, some people like iphones, some people like androids,some people like windows phones ok thats a lie no one likes windows phone theres a reason microsoft killed it
iphones have their advantages, like them being more secure, better app compatibility, and features like airdrop, and androids have their advantages, like usb-c, way more choices for phones, and custom roms (custom roms are so cool, i love that a phone from 2011 can run the latest android with a custom rom)
personally i prefer android, i dont like how locked down iphones are, and i hate lightning cables, however i dont go out of my way to shove android down other people's throats
it's not like i hate iphones tho, i used an iphone 7 for about 2 months when my pixel 6a was broken, and i really liked how fast it was for a 2016 phone on the second latest iOS, seriously there is no way you're even getting close to the iphone 7's performance on ios 15 compared to a galaxy s7's performance on android 12, plus since i use a hackintosh i like how well it integrated with my computer
there's been several times where i was having issues on android, and i've asked for help on reddit/discord and people just say "BuY An iPhOnE" and these kind of people piss me off, i hate company shills, even if it's someone shilling android. if you shill for samsung like that, fuck you. if you shill for apple like that, fuck you, if you shill for any company like that, fuck you
androids are good, iphones are good, end of story.

2023.05.30 18:48 careermakersolutions 5 career options to grow and build a secure future with CompTIA Security+ Career path and salaries!
Careermaker Solutions In today's digital age, where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, organizations worldwide are prioritizing cybersecurity more than ever before. With the rapid growth of technology and the ever-evolving threat landscape, there is a rising demand for skilled professionals who can safeguard critical data and protect systems from malicious attacks. Unquestionably, the field of cybersecurity has shown to be lucrative and full of interesting potential. A career in cybersecurity will never get old because hackers are continuously coming up with new ways to compromise networks and many of them earn well over six figures.
If you have obtained your CompTIA Security+ certification, congratulations! You have taken a significant step towards building a secure future in the cybersecurity industry.
The scope
Beyond the technology involved, the scope of cyber security also includes wisdom in making the best choices for cyber-defence. Strong cyber security often entails many encryption-based layers of data protection. In order to make a wise decision while selecting one, one must be informed of the many kinds of cyber security packages that are at their disposal.
Professionals in operations and security management are in high demand all over the world. However, with a demand of 63% in America, positions in incident and threat management are most sought after. Experts in incident and threat management are sought after 65% more in the Middle East and Asian countries, than in some other regions.
The current pattern continues despite ongoing efforts by organizations to fill diverse roles, greatly increasing the pool of professionals who will have a positive impact on cyber security on a worldwide scale.
Career path (with average salaries)
This widely recognized certification opens up a multitude of exciting job opportunities that can help you grow and build a secure future. In this blog, we will explore five of the most thrilling job options available in the USA for individuals with CompTIA Security+ certification.
Any competent cybersecurity expert is capable of conducting a comprehensive review of a company's security setup, taking into account threat modelling, specifications, implementation, testing, and vulnerability assessment. They are also aware of the security concerns related to networking, virtualization software, and operating systems.
From the perspective of cybersecurity, having both technical and soft skills will help you recognise and explain social engineering, a widespread problem in the security field. Hackers can use social engineering to persuade unwary employees to give them passwords, credentials, and access to otherwise protected systems despite the existence of several hardware and software security safeguards.
Understanding the landscape
With your CompTIA Security+ certification, you have embarked on an exciting journey towards a secure and fulfilling career in the cybersecurity industry. The five job options discussed in this blog offer excellent opportunities for growth, continuous learning, and making a tangible impact in safeguarding organizations from cyber threats.
Security+ is a very specialised subset of instruction that encompasses all of the information required to secure (and break into) the majority of computer settings. That stated, in order to completely be capable of protecting a system to the standards of some job paths, an awareness of programming languages, specialised certifications, and specific knowledge of proprietary systems are required. Security+ provides you with the necessary entry-level credentials to apply for and hold any of the above positions, among many other things, but it is actually just the beginning of a lifelong quest to comprehend cybersecurity.
Whether you choose to become a security analyst, security engineer, penetration tester, security consultant, or incident responder, remember to stay updated with the latest industry trends, enhance your skills, and seize every opportunity for professional development. Your dedication to protecting critical data and systems will play a vital role in building a secure future for yourself and the organizations you serve.

This widely recognized certification opens up a multitude of exciting job opportunities that can help you grow and build a secure future. In this blog, we will explore five of the most thrilling job options available in the USA for individuals with CompTIA Security+ certification.
- Security Analyst: (Average Salary: $83,312) As a security analyst, you will become a vital line of defence for organizations. Your responsibilities will include monitoring and analyzing security systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and proactively developing strategies to protect networks and systems. You will play a crucial role in detecting and mitigating potential threats, ensuring that organizations can maintain a robust security posture. This is a profession that you can grow on for years, using it as a launching pad for further vocations like those of a CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker). Jobs have different requirements, but a foundation in CompTia Security+ is the ideal place to start if you want to work as an analyst.
- Security Engineer: (Average Salary: $126,808) In the role of a security engineer, you will design and implement secure systems, networks, and infrastructure. You will work closely with other IT professionals to develop and deploy security solutions, conduct risk assessments, and implement measures to protect against cyber threats. Security engineers are instrumental in building resilient and secure IT environments that can withstand sophisticated attacks.
- Penetration Tester: (Average Salary: $126,402) If you have a passion for ethical hacking and a knack for uncovering vulnerabilities, a career as a penetration tester might be an excellent fit for you. Penetration testers simulate real-world cyberattacks to identify weaknesses in an organization's systems. By conducting comprehensive security assessments and penetration testing, you will help organizations identify potential entry points for malicious actors and provide recommendations to enhance their security defaces.
- Security Consultant: (Average salary: $147,322)As a security consultant, you will work closely with clients to assess their unique security needs and develop tailored solutions. Your expertise in areas such as network security, data protection, and compliance will be invaluable in advising organizations on mitigating risks and improving their overall security posture. Security consultants play a vital role in shaping security policies and procedures and ensuring that organizations adhere to industry best practices.
- Incident Responder: (Average Salary: $74,500) In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, incidents are inevitable. Incident responders are responsible for swiftly detecting, responding to, and mitigating security incidents. As an incident responder, you will investigate breaches, coordinate incident response efforts, and develop strategies to prevent future incidents. Your ability to think quickly and act decisively during high-pressure situations will be critical in minimizing damage and restoring normalcy.
Any competent cybersecurity expert is capable of conducting a comprehensive review of a company's security setup, taking into account threat modelling, specifications, implementation, testing, and vulnerability assessment. They are also aware of the security concerns related to networking, virtualization software, and operating systems.
From the perspective of cybersecurity, having both technical and soft skills will help you recognise and explain social engineering, a widespread problem in the security field. Hackers can use social engineering to persuade unwary employees to give them passwords, credentials, and access to otherwise protected systems despite the existence of several hardware and software security safeguards.
Understanding the landscape
With your CompTIA Security+ certification, you have embarked on an exciting journey towards a secure and fulfilling career in the cybersecurity industry. The five job options discussed in this blog offer excellent opportunities for growth, continuous learning, and making a tangible impact in safeguarding organizations from cyber threats.
Security+ is a very specialised subset of instruction that encompasses all of the information required to secure (and break into) the majority of computer settings. That stated, in order to completely be capable of protecting a system to the standards of some job paths, an awareness of programming languages, specialised certifications, and specific knowledge of proprietary systems are required. Security+ provides you with the necessary entry-level credentials to apply for and hold any of the above positions, among many other things, but it is actually just the beginning of a lifelong quest to comprehend cybersecurity.
Whether you choose to become a security analyst, security engineer, penetration tester, security consultant, or incident responder, remember to stay updated with the latest industry trends, enhance your skills, and seize every opportunity for professional development. Your dedication to protecting critical data and systems will play a vital role in building a secure future for yourself and the organizations you serve.

https://ibb.co/TTRjpCF
And the arch is not booting. Windows (which is on other disk) is working properly and the other partitions on the same disk (containing new installation) are also fine.
Is it necessary to have the root partition in the begining of disk ? In the first boot I forgot to umount the installation media , is that causing the problem ?
I can chroot in the system with the installation medium and it works fine.

2023.05.30 18:21 Competitive-Pick-673 What we didn't notice in AvA 6? part 3
HEY! Hello everyone Yes, this is part 3 on "what we didn't notice in AvA 6?"
Let me remind you! we stopped at the moment where TCO flies into Alan's network.
Let's continue!
We see Alan's desktop. On the left-at the top there are 2 icons filled with something. This is the "STORAGE" folder and the trash. We see that there are certain files in the folder. But I do not know which files they are. From the bottom-left there are application icons: Explorer, Google Chrome, adobe animate, MINECRAFT!!!, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and an app that I do not know. And he also has dynamos from a company that I don't know either. Then Alan opens the "Animate" and the application is shown Red on the workspace. And the camera is already in the monitor. He goes out to the area, looks around, and meets with the Blue and offers to fight. To which Red agreed (The first blow was made by Red). They fight, and Green appears and stops the fight to join (The first one was hit by Red, in a jump, with his foot). Then Yellow appeared (Immediately hit in a jump, with his foot, Green, and hitting Red). And then TSC appears and stands on one leg. He wanted to fight too. (From the beginning, Red attacked him.) And then Alan, having drawn a boulder, threw it into the TSC. He was already under the rock. And his friends started looking at the cursor. And he started writing: "XD", ":P". Then orange gets out of the cobblestone and runs towards him. He jumped at him, but he dodged. And so, climbing up, he took a pencil and drew a line. The cursor erased it. TSC runs up to friends and makes weapons for them. ( Blue - revolvers, Red - a mace and shield, Green- a spear with a handkerchief, and yellow- a grenade launcher. And I made a sword for myself. (And they are ready). Alan wrote: ">:)". And now the rainbow gang is starting to attack.
I will not describe the battle. I'm very tired of changing the layout.
They surround him. and now to strike. But Alan raised the window with the timeline, and thereby won. And he began to move the cursor in the form of an infinity sign. After the defeat, they were "traumatized". TSC was the first to rise. And the Yellow One ran up to the Red One ( Well, what guys! Another shippering.) And the Green One crawled up to the Blue One. And then that hole appears. From which the buggy TCO comes out. It falls on the taskbar. Everyone notices this and runs up to him. And that, in turn, to TSC (He hid that pencil behind him). And TCO is asking for his help. Everyone was a little shocked by what they saw. He started showing him about his powers. But TCO didn't realize that he didn't know about that moment. Then he showed his strength to teach him. From the beginning, he showed fire from his hands, and then lasers from his eyes, and showed him to do it. He doesn't understand anything. But he's trying to do it. After the failure, a Blue One approaches them and fits. Showing that it's not for him. But TCO took TSC, and jumped into the hole. (I forgot to upaminut! The clock at the beginning was 10:21 AM 04/29/2023. After the appearance of TCO, the time was 10:22 AM. And when everyone jumps into the portal 10:23 AM). Alan, in turn, looks at the screen again, in which the application is lit. (It will become memes someday)
P.S. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!! YEЕЕЕЕAH!!!

2023.05.30 18:18 BertholtKnecht After fixing .gnupg permissions I get constant errors!
GPG told me I should secure the folders. So I followed tutorials and did this:
chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg/ &&\ chmod 700 ~/.gnupg &&\ chmod -R 600 ~/.gnupg/*
should be no problem? But Now I permanently get these errors:
Warning: Could not access '.gnupg/crls.d/.gitignore', No Permission.
Whats that?
Also during the chmod phase I could not change every files permission as some gave me "no permission". Even trying with sudo (does that change it to root ownership??) didnt help.

2023.05.30 18:14 kobewaruui User Login and registration using jwt authentication filter
Hi guys quick question: in spring boot security 6 when we send let's say a login request with username and password ,the request first goes into the jwtauthenticationfilter and checks whether we have a jwt token if we don't then we send a 403 back to the client ,are we saying we can't log in without a jwt token ? What if am a new user I was assuming the process is you first log in with you credentials ,then a check is done to see whether your a valid user then the token is generated for any subsequent requests ?? Do we need a jwt for logging in and registration

2023.05.30 18:02 Reggae4Triceratops Account has been very buggy since "vulnerability". Specifically with Profile Pictures (repost)
A few weeks ago I received the following message:
Ever since this occurred my account has been very buggy. Firstly, my profile picture seemed to be blown away. So I readded it, now several times, but when I comment it does not appear. Refreshing, viewing on web, viewing on PC, doesn't matter it is not there. I have tried adding the picture using both PC and mobile but it doesn't seem to make a difference, the picture still does not show up.
Another odd bug I've noticed is the comments of users that have blocked me are now showing up, almost like they didn't block me. But I know they didn't unblock me because I can't reply to them, or access their accounts, but nevertheless the comments and user names are readable. Normally it shows up as [unavailable].
Maybe it is a complete coincidence that my account has been strange since receiving that warning message, but I do recall having an issue with the picture immediately after unlocking my account.
Honestly not really concerned about the blocking issue, but I would like to be able to have a profile picture again.
You'll likely suggest some fixes here's a list of things I've tried:
submitted by Reggae4Triceratops to help [link] [comments]
Heads up, Reggae4Triceratops:I followed the instructions and updated my password, even though I believed it should be secure. It wasn't one that was leaked as far as I know.
A potential vulnerability to your account security has been detected. Your account has been locked as a protective measure. You can still log into a locked account but are unable to participate on the site or change most settings.
How do I unlock my account?
Your account will be automatically unlocked once you have reset your password. Request a password reset here or through the settings menu on the official mobile apps. Make sure to use a new password that is unique to reddit and not one you have used elsewhere. Read more about account security here.
Password reset email not arriving, have an outdated email address, or experiencing other problems?
Find fixes and assistance here.
Don't remember what email address you registered with?
If you are unsure of the email address registered to your account or unsure if one is registered at all, you can check your settings menu in the mobile apps or log in via a browser window and review your information through the settings menu. If you are using old reddit, you can view this in the preferences menu.
How do I know this is really from reddit?
You might have noticed your account is unable to do much else on the site right now due to the lock. Click here to read about other ways to tell a message is official.

2023.05.30 18:01 SquattyLaHeron How I'm using my 28 year old Franklin Planner
I bought it in 1995 before Covey merged with Franklin in 1997. I have been doing all of my planning with computer-based tools for twenty years now, and the planner was sitting in a closet, but I'm taking a look at it again because of information security concerns.
I have a highly secure online & mulitple device encrypted password manager service (not LastPass), but my concern is what if they go down, or I get locked out for any reason? This service not only manages passwords, it is my TOTP authentication provider.
What's I've done is I re-did ALL of my TOTP authentication, screen-captured the QR codes, created an encrypted ZIP file for them, and I am going to keep this file of QR codes on a microSD card in the planner, and in some other secure locations. I will also have my top 20 or so passwords in the planner.
That way I can-fail over to any TOTP app using the QR codes, I have my most impotant passwords, and I can continue with life.
I thought about printing the QR codes and putting them in the planner, then I realized that was dangerous if the planner were to be lost. My encryption password only I know. I will let my family know where to find it in hardcopy form only, seperate from the planner.
I'm not sure how passkeys will work. I think it's early days with those. I hear good things, I hear stupid things. I think we'll know in a few years.

2023.05.30 17:58 CapiCapiBara SYNOLOGY DS218+ - Files and folders disappearing into the #recycle folder... again!
Well, I already posted about this around 1 year ago, see this post:
https://www.reddit.com/synology/comments/rnr3y4/encrypted_btrfs_loosing_files_folders_any/hpu9j7b/?context=3
At the time I decided it must have been some weird setting screwing up things, so I performed the following:
And again.
And again.
I took care of logging every single action on files from SMB protocol, nearly 77000 rows of data were generated and I set to analyze those, would you guess? NOTHING is logged about this.
There is no trace I can find about the deletion of those folders... but they did move into the bin!
I'm at my wits end and ready to decommission this machine for good and dumping everything in the Cloud even on OneDrive, if I really have to - this should show how desperate I am.
This is the call of last resort... did this really happen exclusively to us?! Nobody experienced anything similar?

At the time I decided it must have been some weird setting screwing up things, so I performed the following:
- Installed brand new SATA hard drives
- Reinstalled DSM (old version was: 6.x, new version: 7.x)
- Recovered NOTHING from the old config - everything has been rebuilt from scratch
- File system was changed for good luck: was: BTRFS on old installation, EXT4 on new installation
- Every user was recreated, with passwords, access rights, etc
And again.

2023.05.30 17:58 Ill-Kaleidoscope-107 Account hacked and banned. Not able to recover.
Today I opened Steam to get the message of a game ban, and it was R6. I haven't played for a long time but I could auto-login (as it was installed on my system) and that's how I knew my UBi account was hacked (the username was changed).
Now, the issue is I am not even able to recover my ubi account since even when clicking reset password, even when I am using my own email address, I am not receiving any password reset link. And not being able to log in also means that I am not able to contact ubisoft support to create a ticket.
Interestingly, I had 2-factor authentication on. And even on my own computer when I log in I had to enter security code from my email. But the hacker somehow changed the phone number too. Help.
