My First CTF (Capture The Flag)

First clips video pt.1?

I got a Sony Handycam camcorder back in 2021 i think, and I really wanted to record my adventure or at least my life ya know? So that I can look back at my old memories. Unfortunately, my own life isn't really that interesting in my opinion so most of my clips are from me hanging out with my friends. Later on, I decided to edit videos for myself and enjoyed it for a while. I'm not that great at editing or color grading and whatnot but I still enjoyed making these videos.

This video is a small collection of my first couple of clips when I was with my friends at the lake. I know it's not that great but we all start somewhere right? Anyways I hope you all like the video, or at least give any advice to do better.

Godspeed everyone :)

⚠️ They Don’t Hack Systems Anymore. They Hack People.

We live in a world where the greatest weapon isn't code. It's manipulation. It's a fake email. A deepfake call. A cloned phone number. It’s a small crack in your trust — and a hacker’s way in.

In 2025, scams have leveled up. It’s not about "being smart" anymore. It’s about being suspicious enough when it matters most.

🔒 Protect yourself:

Always use 2FA.

Never trust links without verifying them.

Assume everything is fake until proven real.

Your skepticism is your best firewall.

If it feels urgent, emotional, or too good to be true... pause. You might be the target.

Stay dangerous. Stay protected. 🛡️

First post!

This is my first time using this platform, but fortunately I'm enjoying myself here. I don't really have anything to share today I might as well make a post about it lol. Hopefully I'll be able to share my interests, arts, and projects here in the near future with everyone here.

Till then, Godspeed everyone :)

First Time Setting Up Arch Linux

Today I finally decided to practice setting up Arch Linux on a virtual machine and not gonna lie, that was TOUGH. I was only having trouble installing grub because I didn't know the difference between UEFI and BIOS, lmao. All good though.

Within the last hour, my user had a password already which had left me stuck because I couldn't log in. So i had to look up online how to delete the password for my user. Luckily I figured it out,(still learning the terminology so please be patient with me) I had to be in root or chroot and use the command passwd -d [user] which then I could put a new password for my user.

I know my situation sounds dumb but I had a lot of fun setting up Arch Linux, and I hope to learn more as I continue using Arch.

Anyways, thank you for reading this post, and Godspeed :)

Starquakes

Sometimes a neutron star will undergo a glitch, a sudden small increase of its rotational speed or spin up. Glitches are thought to be the effect of a starquake—as the rotation of the neutron star slows, its shape becomes more spherical. Due to the stiffness of the “neutron” crust, this happens as discrete events when the crust ruptures, creating a starquake similar to earthquakes. After the starquake, the star will have a smaller equatorial radius, and because angular momentum is conserved, its rotational speed has increased.

Starquakes occurring in magnetars, with a resulting glitch, is the leading hypothesis for the gamma-ray sources known as soft gamma repeaters.

Recent work, however, suggests that a starquake would not release sufficient energy for a neutron star glitch; it has been suggested that glitches may instead be caused by transitions of vortices in the theoretical superfluid core of the neutron star from one metastable energy state to a lower one, thereby releasing energy that appears as an increase in the rotation rate.
