We may be an uncultured dead board with only 5 users (all me), but I'll be damned if we can't generate a bunch of characters to compete in the >>>/icup/ . The most prominent (only) game in the icup is watching the AI of Pro Evolution Soccer '17 play against itself. Our job is to provide 22 players (half of them on the bench), team colors, an anthem, a logo and tactical settings for the AI. Players can range from Stallman to NoScript to how2anonymous, while the anthem can be anywhere from Don't copy that floppy to the theme of Mr Robot.

Does anyone know how to wholly replace a syslinux boot with grub2? I'm trying to load some squashfs read only live usbs but I need grub so I can pass some grub commands before the kernel loads. syslinux is A SHIT and there are no useful modules like in grub. The live images have the kernel separate from the system rootfs, and I have no problem targeting the kernel in grub, and the initrd seems useless from what I could see from the init script in it, like I could just pass flags to the kernel directly instead of fucking around with a bunch of useless if statement busybox bullshit. I managed to get it to work for one system, with no initrd and everything, but I can't reproduce it in a second system. Why is everything a fucking script and all the real commands undocumented. Anyway, I've been working at it for ages and tomorrow I'll just try the hail mary of passing grub-install to a drive with the live image written and see if it overwrites the syslinux bullshit, but I was hoping anons here might have a better idea. Also, what are the odds of getting a working system from source off github? I've never done a custom build, but I need to because I want to include some legacy drivers as well as grub. Everything seems to be automagically made with bootroot and docker but it doesn't really tell me how to build a custom version. for clarity, I have no problem getting to grub and booting the efi files, but the kernel can't find the squashfs root even though I pass the flags, so something's fucking up in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and yes I'm writing it by hand because I'm autistic like that.

>>1480 I'm trying to boot a kernel which uses a squashfs filesystem. I succeeded by just passing the right kernel arguments by hand in grub but there were various issues like certain kernels didn't work unless they were specifically passed partition labels as opposed to /dev/sdXX or UUIDs. Effectively I'm trying to do something which is further than my competency, but if it was properly documented there wouldn't be an issue. I've been around long enough to know that almost any system has a dozen or half dozen undocumented bugs that the community is aware of, but the assholes never bother to mention it unless directly asked, and sometimes not even then.

>>1521 I'm using EFI exclusively, and it looks like the syslinux install uses some weird cut-down version of grub anyway, but it just didn't have the modules. I've got it sorted out now, but it was a pain figuring out which kernel parameters to pass. Things really aren't fully documented, lots of switches and kernel options that are never mentioned at GNU or anywhere else.

While hopping and chasing through the Bluetooth spectrum, you’ll occasionally get a complete chunk of Bluetooth traffic while sniffing with this utility. Don’t let the BTLE part of this fool you - all pairing takes place in Bluetooth 4.x in the low energy realm, so if nothing else, this is a great way to get a sniffer trace of the pairing process. Just be prepared for multiple tries and some patience, and when completed, you will have a nice pcap-formatted output file to analyze.

I used to be that you could get free satellite radio if you played the long game. You just put your radio in some sort of faraday cage, then call and cancel your service. To save bandwidth, they would only send the kill signal for your radio for a year or so. If you kept your radio hidden long enough that they finally stopped broadcasting the kill signal, you could get out your radio and have service for free after that.

Services like OnStar can listen to everything being said in the car at any time. They can do the same thing with all modern cars that have built in microphones for hands free cell phone usage. Basically, anything made after the early 2000s is botnet by design. In fact, since the ECU is so tightly integrated in modern cars they can even be disabled remotely. This is often used when cars are stolen that have OnStar like services and they want to located and recover them.

I'm trying to set up an email account to use with my board here, but my old 8chan.co email apparently won't receive emails now. I want to go ahead and set up a Protonmail account, but in the setup process they ask you to fight 'spam' by confirming your identity with either email, SMS, or a donation. I tried several of the burner emails from guerrilla mail, but proton say these are all 'temporarily disabled, please try another'.

I certainly have no plans to give them a real email or phone number, and don't have a good way to give them a donation to help 'fight spam'. Any suggestions /tech/?

Services that pretend to keep your data safe from court orders sound suspiciously like honey pots.
Use a secure paid provider and aliases or self-host for business purposes to limit tracking and abandon email altogether for secure personal communication.
You can use certain free ones too, but they're often very limited regarding IMAP/POP3 and aliases, and there's a bigger chance they're scams or go bust.
Also you risk getting caught up in other people's issues like when cock.li's servers got raided by German police.
