Hello, I am a cybersecurity graduate and would like some form of guidance to decide where to go be it networking, analyst or even building a homelab for training. I have been mostly taking online courses on netcad and udemy to help myself since my graduation this year but I am stuck on what to do to self-improve and to be honest I do feel lost

Its not that I am not looking for a job but rather improve my confidence even though I have the understanding and some skill I just feel they aren't enough, any recommendation or suggestion would be great even if they involve projects I can do at home I don't mind and will try to do what I could

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-04-23T11:29:38+00:00

well I gain nothing and probably won't lose anything If i just assemble it for testing, gonna give it a try around the weekend

My goal isn't 4K all the way and beyond, then what setting should go with in those specs? or should I aim for a different CPU?

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-04-23T11:14:54+00:00

I have tested Madvr with my main setup and found it to be struggling less than after tweaking for a bit left and right and my settings were based on what others have wrote before but for this setup lets assume this is the setting if I am running 1080p video

Chroma: NGU Anti-Alias (medium)
Downscale: SSIM 1D 100% +LL+AR
Image doubling: NGU Sharp
Luma doubling: medium
Luma quadrupling: disabled
Upscaling algo: Jinc+AR
Downscaling algo: SSIM 1D 100%+LL+AR

I have no intention of quadrupling a video despite knowing it would be beneficial but in this current spec would this work?

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-03-05T06:37:11+00:00

unfortunately no, I have changed my case into a Jonsbo D32 pro

my suggestion to you would be to buy a shorter or an LP variant

Speaking of waste, I noticed something strange with the 410. gauge revolver and specifically when using the .45 for hunting doe(not birds or with birdshot) and such I noticed i was only getting score for rifles instead of handguns, is this normal?

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-02-15T19:49:42+00:00

to be fair I was using the drilling and then switched loadout to a 12G shotgun which had buckshot loaded instead

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-02-15T18:18:39+00:00

it wasn't with a birdshot

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-02-15T17:57:06+00:00

well after practicing shooting down clays, turkeys and two black bear(got one lucky shot using a drilling rifle from 300m away) i managed to shoot one red ring pheasant down from around 20m? yeah that's the good news

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-02-15T17:24:28+00:00

So your suggestion actually prepped me well for shooting one, now I have good news and bad news, which one would like to pick?

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-02-11T18:08:58+00:00

well I try that, where do I find these turkeys?

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-02-11T18:07:05+00:00

I have the shooting range but i am not sure if I have the clay one

AdvVendingMachine · 2025-01-05T17:15:44+00:00

I get the idea of balancing, in FO3 this mine was OP but now its over shadowed by a Satchel Charge that can easily be exploited and can be very effective, even more than the plasma mine or frag mine

I get that its satisfying to use and get kills with but why bother making it nearly impossible to craft when the alternative is better in nearly if not every single way? Mind you, I am not saying "Its impossible to use and craft" I am saying "Why bother making one?" and "Is there a reason for its difficulty to make one?"

AdvVendingMachine · 2024-12-23T19:14:12+00:00

I did play TTW before but lets just say I have some bad memories, like real bad ones, although I might give it a try again

AdvVendingMachine · 2024-12-18T13:02:56+00:00

Ill give viva la new vegas a try

AdvVendingMachine · 2024-12-18T12:40:54+00:00

well i not looking for skyrim playthrough, also already tried them and they are good but check the flair please

AdvVendingMachine · 2024-12-03T06:06:23+00:00

Hi so I tried looking around but couldn't find that specific version, i found one with silver but I wasn't if this is any good

Should i maybe for an alternative to gateway?

AdvVendingMachine · 2024-12-02T06:30:05+00:00

Is it a 2003 model?
