@thor Norway Petroleum was very lucrative. I don't know exactly how much it paid but it was around 250,000 for someone I knew. They bought a new Jeep for 60k, put 20k into upgrades and sold it when moving back. Their argument was that it never got to be used like what it was built for so they sold it for 10k.

I was confused that they didn't know how to operate heavy equipment and even more confused that they complemented me on my skill. Very nice people.

@lupyuen Pegasus has been known to work closely with governments to identify and target threats. They don't have a history of leaving bodies. I'm a huge fan of their work.

@thor Trebuchet.

@Renegade_GDI@mastodon.world @PawelK Russia and Iran have many great things. There's always using an exploit to control existing accounts. The only limits are words called laws. Pretty sure humanz has more rights than words does.

@lupyuen These flavors of Ubuntu and Debian rarely get the attention they deserve.

@Renegade_GDI@mastodon.world @PawelK Add a few home servers in VMs, make good boy accounts and have a good time.

@thor That's classy.

@PawelK @GreenZeta Some of it has to be legitimate.

@PawelK @GreenZeta I don't trust bug bounties. I'm not saying that it is a scam business or exploitation. I've heard that these companies refuse to pay over almost anything.

"Grey Market" is ethical trade. 20k isn't a trunk full of Kalashnikovs or drugs. Several weeks of work for less than a half or quarter of the alleged amount.

One can't forget about those agreements where they can completely destroy a reputation in addition to no pay.

That's just my take on it and my experience.

To those that want to attempt, go ahead. Working on heavy equipment can suck but it actually pays.

20 AKMs would be worth far more than the 20k and only weigh around 80-90kg. A few kilograms of something is likely worth more than that potential award.

I'm not trying to say that illegal things are the right thing to do. It seems far more likely that illegal acts would generate sufficient money to have a better life.

That has to be the weirdest response I've read to a bug thing.

@thor Norwegian Commandos fixing a German dam is heart warming.

@freemo @thor Read, Write and Execute. Truly words to live by.

I wonder how Eastern Europe is. Ukraine sounds like a good place but they will likely crack down on rights gradually after the war. Some would say lawless and corrupt but that's just a way to say freedom for all.

I wonder if someone could die and have an identity in such a place.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage Back when I had a Fitbit HR it would record and upload the data collected. I frequented the gym late at night for about an hour with130-150bpm while weight training.

It found that I likely have a sleeping disorder and classified me in a very specific subset of homosexuals. Either that was interpreted as weightlifting or sex with the other men who had a Fitbit.

Despite the targeted adds, I thought it was cool.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage Promotion opportunities in the KGB.
