  • So reading up on the evolution of whales for arguments sake has me realising all dolphins and whales are (as mentioned) from the same family.

    Your traditional whale fits into “Baleen Whales (Mysticeti)” which have “soft, hair like structures on the upper mouth” and there are 16 species and 3 families.

    Meanwhile there are also “Toothed Whales (Odontceti)” with 76 species and 10 families. They are smaller, actively hunt and almost always live in pods.

    The most surprising thing I’ve learned is that the Baleen Whales typically have two blow holes…??? Also they do not echolocate but they do sing/chat.

    So almost all your traditional large whales fit into the Baleen category and the traditional dolphin fits into the Toothed category. So there are key differences between them, but the overall family is whale.

    This is a dumb argument huh






  • I’m thinking data entry for threat hunters, and integrations with our other platforms apis but I couldn’t say anything specific. SSDs are a good shout, I might have tried setting it up with hdds if you hadn’t said.

    Did you find it easier to add connectors in seperate docker containers or within the main octi container?

    It feels like there’s a pretty high ceiling for this platform and the data you can generate. Do you find it easy to create good data? Do you have any habits?

    I’m pretty keen to learn so feel free to answer what you can.



  • Really don’t care much about my cv. This program is a great way to learn about the STIX protocol so no idea what you mean about “no actionable skills”. STIX is an interesting information sharing method, the program is well designed to educate the user on it and seeing the format it imports and exports data will teach me a buttload.

    More to the point, maybe could you be less cynical and share some advice. I’m not going to flex my qualifications cos they’re mediocre but I’ve got smart people around me who just don’t know this particular program and I’m interested to hear from those who do.

    Do you run this program at work or at home? Have you learned anything interesting from using it? Are there avoidable mistakes I could not repeat from hosting it? Answers to those questions would be very useful.


  • I dont see myself doing too much configuration with connectors to begin with which brings some of the difficulty down. I was asking to see if others run anything similar in their home configuration. I’ve met people who run MISP from home before so it sounded feasible to me.

    I was also looking for the community aspect of this, I already knew they had a docker-compose config. I wanted to know who had attempted this before and what they’d learned, that sort of thing.







  • In the update settings she can reset her apt sources back to “default”. It’s not too hard and there’s a gui throughout the process (from memory).

    The package conflicts is an interesting one, if you have the time to post one of these on lemmy I’m sure someone will suggest a fix. It’s probably a apt install --fix-broken or something simple (hopefully) but I’m sure we could work it out.

    Totally agree that these are annoying issues though. See if you can use Nala, it’s a TUI front end for Apt and it’s got some nice user changes like if you run upgrade it updates and upgrades. It also has a fetch feature which finds nearby sources, so you’re always downloading from the closest/fastest source.
