It seems like they gave a bunch of people a notice to find new jobs as a form of promotion
I see, that honestly sounds like a pretty natural way get into IT. I have basically had a computer since I was in kindergarten and one parent had a MacBook while I had a windows computer. I am thankful for that because I’ve noticed that I’ve always been a bit more savvy than average people. Hearing stories like yours definitely makes me confident that I can still get really far without a CS degree.
Thankfully I’ve kept in good touch with all my past colleagues so hopefully it will work for me like it did with you.
I’ve been looking into forming a team with my friend who is also in IT. While they may not go on a resume, I was considering putting them on a personal portfolio website.
How’d you get into IT? I feel like my path into computer work has been a bit unorthodox. I have a political science degree but no college experience with cs just otj experience. It feels like having my background definitely helps on the soft skills just may be a bit of hindrance compared to those with cs degrees.
That’s a bit of my thought maybe just get the big three and then practice more practical skills for a while. I’ll definitely have to convince my boys to pay for some of those certs the net+ does translate a ton into my current position.
The homelab will have to wait until I settle in to my new place with an office.
Yeah that’s kind of what I have been doing, I have been trying to do things focused on networking and trying to understand cinema servers since many use a form of Linux. Though Microsoft skills always seem to be some of the most popular
I currently work as Helpdesk analyst for a company that produces projectors. I am on the NOC that field technicians call into for any assistance. I would describe my job as having some elements of network, software, and hardware troubleshooting. Ultimately with my end goal I want to get into cybersecurity and be on a SOC somewhere. To achieve that I am working on my Net+ and building a home lab with some hardware I have to practice building a virtual network. Eventually I want to develop my coding skill and get my Sec+ and other certs. What are the opinions of those who are in both industries and any advice?
I need out over weightlifting and computers with my family at all times.
I’m excited for this too. I had to begrudgingly switch to apple due to family but now that I can emulate I may stay
I got it off of Amazon, it may just be a demo OS. I’ll have to check the specs further. I’ll try flashing it and see what I can change around.
I bought a orangepi 3 LTS and put it in a case and got a little fan to work via GPIO and got my image in a SD for the first boot. I turn it on and it has android OS v9 on it. I want to run Debian on it for some personal projects as I want to get familiar with Linux environments.
Should I be concerned it has an Os on it when I thought it was new? I have put it on my home network or connected it to anything at all.
How would I go about removing android and booting from SSD to use Debian?
Edit: I looked up the wiki and found it comes with android to test the hardware. All good
So am I understanding correctly that this code wasn’t exactly handled as a normal team? Like XZ had one person vetting the replacement?
So I first saw this picture and thought Baxter had the same face as my chihuahua. Then I read his story and I cried and found it to be similar. My dog was a bit neglected by previous owners and he is a senior chihuahua. After this experience I can now say. Chihuahuas are ground bats.
I found this article from the one you posted. It is crazy think DNA can be used for storage one day.
Me and my friend were discussing this the other day about how he said RAID is no longer needed. He said it was due to how big SSDs have gotten and that apparently you can replace sectors within them if a problem occurs which is why having an array is not needed.
I replied with the fact that arrays allow for redundancy that create a faster uptime if there are issues and drive needs to be replaced. And depending on what you are doing, that is more valuable than just doing the new thing. Especially because RAID allows redundancy that can replicate lost data if needed depending on the configuration.
What do you all think?
As someone who used to be high all the time. I know what worked for me a lot was trying to focus on the best I can do in a given day.
I got into exercise and tried enjoying everyday as if I could be happy with dying that day. I really do try my best to not think about all the crazy things going on just because I realized I can’t help as much. But I do my best to help with things locally. One simple that helped me financially as well as climate related was switching to eating less red meat. Even though some may say it’s not enough as I didn’t go vegan, it still helps reduce some of my carbon output. With the idea of helping where you can and not stressing about what you can’t do, life becomes a lot easier and less stressful while actually making impact.
Do you have anything particular you want to do outside of just being high to feel better? Once I realized how much I like computers and tech, smoking less became easier
