7 Old Excuses For Not Using #Linux

(and why they are not actual in 2022)

(1/9)🧵🧵🧵 Image
Excuse 1. Hard to install OS

Dozens of different distributions are available as Virtual Machines and you can try them in 5-15 minutes (taking into account the time to download, configure and run).

(and there are also ready-made Live USB images)

Excuse 2. Hard to install Apps

There are now app stores for Linux that allow you to quickly install all the essentials (office applications, messengers etc) just as quickly as you can in the App Store or Google Play.

Ex:
snapcraft.io
flathub.org

Excuse 3. It makes no sense to switch to free software, because still have to use proprietary in the cloud services

If you want to become as free from global corporation as possible, there are a huge number of `#opensource cloud services

Excuse 4. There are too few applications for Linux

If you look at the contents of the Github repository "Awesome Linux Software", you will see more than 1,500 applications for a wide variety of tasks, including highly professional ones.

Excuse 5. There is one particular program I need that only runs under Windows

For these cases there are emulators that allow you to run Windows applications under Linux.

For example:

Wine winehq.org
CrossOver codeweavers.com/crossover

Excuse 6. Linux tutorials too often mention the command line and it is too complicated

Yes, many things are fastest to do with #CLI.
If you find an obscure command in a friend's tutorial or on a forum, just decode it with the special tool:

Excuse 7. I just don't like the design.

The appearance of Linux operating systems is a very flexible thing. There are dozens of different GUIs, which are very different from each other.

If this thread has inspired you to try Linux and you are also into #osint, I have a separate thread about distributions specifically designed for #cybersecurity professionals.

When searching on Google, use not only Lens, but also the OLD image search (which gives very different results). You can access it using this tool:



🧵 1 googlelens.imagesniper.eu

A very good tool for searching for faces and images in general, which is often more effective than Google. It also recognises text in images and translates it.

Is it possible to use neural networks to create a whole series of photos of one person for a fake social network profile ("sock puppet")?

I show by examples the possible way of solving the problem (this is not an easy way ).

🧵🧵🧵
In order to successfully pretend to be another person on the Internet, you need a series of photos in different places and different clothes. But it's a lot of work to make these (even with AI).

First, let's create a photo of a person's face.

Now let's try to combine this photo with different images of other men using UnCLIP_Image_Interpolation_Demo.

If you try many different variants and adjust step 12, there is a chance of getting some good-looking variants.

The #osint community includes participants from all over the world and every country has something to learn from.

6 tips for working with presentations and video reports in foreign languages

(1/7)🧵🧵🧵
You can take the easy way and just translate the presentation file using one of the many online services:

doctranslator.com/translate-ppt/
onlinedoctranslator.com
products.aspose.app/pdf/translate/…

But often this leads to poor quality results. But for some situations it is quite good.

(2/7)🧵
It is better to extract text from a presentation so you can translate it later with more advanced translators. This can be done with the help of these services:

products.aspose.app/slides/parser
zamzar.com/convert/pptx-t…
convertio.co/ppt-txt/
