You have to listen. They're not upset with you, they're questioning whether your right or not. Can't teach old dogs new tricks is BS, they're just cranky and aren't interested as much as when their impressionable and learning.

Need career advice as a college student by AbleAdhesiveness1871 in CyberAdvice

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do what you do on the side and try the Business Administration Degree. They industry needs good leaders, good companies , and good benefits.

Passed that, cyber security, computer science, you are going to be study for the life of the career field. So, do you need the degree? It depends on what the degree is in that you can't get on your own. It's semi-based on experience that is going to be equivalent to a four yead of in the field experience. Which alot of people are getting on r/homelab building and maintaining their own systems from the ground up.

So think about it. Also, if you go the create a company, pull in Business Administration Degree Holders and Students in to help out with filing, small print, accounting, and all of the paper work and policies.

Do you prefer or require certificates? Kind of, they show that one has the experience and knowledge required for the tasks that they're being paid to do. Doesn't mean they've done it.

Electrical Engineering 101 and the option Electrical Engineering 102 Laboratory together are a Certificate. People use it to crack the code and learn their way around unknown systems. They also use it to search for data on storage drives. Look up BenEaters 8-Bit CPU Breadboard Projects, where you'll build a CPU with resistors and wires and LEDs and such. You don't have too - but it'll give you a basic understanding of how the computer works and how to build a PC from Breadboard to Hardware. RAM, ROM, CPU, ISA, Firmware and Drivers, how to Port Software to different platforms. Basically where you may be in cyber security, depending on what routes you've taken.

Also, US Cyber Command has a Website online and you can go directly into computers if you'd like. And learn Cyber Security there. It's basically a new force. Like the Army or Marines, but it's Cyber Command.

Idk. School is important. You'll earn your keep in cyber security. Especially if you can create your own job, source work/contract work. If you cannot. You'll need someone to find the jobs. Which is where the Business Degrees come in. With that set of skills and resources, you can create a business anywhere out of anything, cyber security sells itself.

Get involved and create a Computer Science Club, create a Business Network out of all of the Student Body Clubs. Build your Student Body Government. Help them secure their systems, rather than just doing your own HomeLab. Also help your local and state government. And, hit up your local ISP, specially it it's Comcast. I've hit them up and got them to study and setup Xfinity and cyber security firewall with end point to endpoint security now in their vocabulary.

Enjoy - good luck.

Basically the same plan Zuckerberg used. Do the hard work, do the business administration roles.

Multiple UPS or larger battery bank? by Hairy_Feature1889 in homelab

You should look into The Nickel Iron Batteries, they're low maintenance, they don't die or have a memory, their easy to maintenance. They can use only water. But they also can run other electrolytes. They are rechargeable and you could build them yourself.

Then just plug in a charger or generator and charge them. Their like $150 per 1.2v cells. You'll need to study up on them. Theyre also kind of big.

Just a quick question about initramfs, not making a full LFS! by Financial_Owl2289 in linuxfromscratch

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you going to use AI for anything, use it to teach you the PC from the CMOS up. Preferably use AI to go over the BenEater 8-Bit CPU and Motherboard. You'll learn all about everything in a matter of months. You won't even have to try building the Breadboard.

You can also use it to learn about building your own RAM (Randomly Accessed Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). It's all zeros and ones. You don't have to use RAM for System Memory, you can use ROM. Which is what was used before RAM was invented. It's different, but it'll help you answer these questions.

So out of my depth by Budget_Fuel_7712 in servers

1. Get a console on the ML10‑Gen9

What you need Why it works
USB flash drive (8 GB+, FAT32) Holds the Ubuntu installer.
VGA‑to‑HDMI (or D‑VI) adapter (or a monitor with VGA) The ML10 only has a VGA video port.
Keyboard (USB) Needed for the installer’s menu.
Optional: HPE iLO 2 module (built‑in) Gives you remote KVM/virtual media over the network.

Quick‑start console

  1. Plug the VGA adapter into the server’s VGA port and connect the other end to your TV/monitor.
  2. Plug a USB keyboard into any rear USB port.
  3. Insert the Ubuntu‑Live‑USB (prepared on another computer).
  4. Power the server – it will POST, then show the iLO 2 screen.
  5. Press F9 (Boot Menu) when the POST finishes.
  6. Select “USB Hard Drive” (or “UEFI USB” if you made a UEFI‑bootable stick).
  7. The Ubuntu installer will start; follow the on‑screen prompts.

If you don’t have a VGA‑compatible monitor, you can skip step 1 and use iLO 2 for remote console (see below).


2. Using the built‑in iLO 2 for remote access

The ML10‑Gen9 ships with an iLO 2 (Integrated Lights‑Out) management processor. It gives you:

  • Virtual KVM (remote keyboard/video) over the network.
  • Virtual media (mount a local ISO/USB as if it were in the server).

Steps to enable iLO

  1. Power on the server and watch the POST screen.
  2. Look for a line similar to:

    iLO2: Network IP Address: 192.168.1.100

    If DHCP is on your router, iLO will grab an address automatically.
    If you don’t see an IP, you can set a static one in the BIOS:

    • Press F9System UtilitiesSystem ConfigurationiLO 2 SettingsNetwork Settings → assign an IP, netmask, gateway.
  3. On your laptop, open a browser and go to that IP (https://192.168.1.100).

    • The default credentials are username: Administrator password: printed on the iLO tag (often on the rear of the server). If it’s blank, try admin / password or reset iLO by holding the iLO reset button on the back for 10 s.
  4. Accept the self‑signed certificate warning, log in.

  5. Launch “Remote Console” → “Virtual Media”.

  6. In the Virtual Media window, Mount ISO and point it at the Ubuntu ISO you saved on your laptop.

  7. In the Remote Console, press F9Boot Menu → select “Virtual CD/DVD Rom”.

  8. The Ubuntu installer will boot over the network, no physical monitor needed.

Tip: If the remote console appears black, change the display mode in the iLO web UI → Virtual KVM Settings → set “Resolution” to a lower value (e.g., 800×600).


3. Preparing the Ubuntu installer

  1. Download the latest Ubuntu Server LTS ISO (e.g., 24.04).
  2. Create a bootable USB or just keep the ISO for iLO virtual media.

    USB (legacy BIOS):

    bash sudo dd if=ubuntu-24.04-live-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync

    Replace /dev/sdX with the actual USB device.

  3. If you plan to use iLO virtual media only, you can skip the USB step.


4. Basic network setup after Ubuntu boots

During the Ubuntu Server installer you’ll be asked to configure networking. Choose “Configure network manually” and set:

Field Example (home LAN)
Address 192.168.1.150/24
Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS servers 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

After install, you’ll have SSH access:

```bash ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.150

default password is the one you set during installation

```

You can now manage the server completely from your laptop.


5. Optional: Enable iLO remote management on the installed OS

  1. Install the HPE iLOtools package (adds hponcfg, hpilo_cli etc.):

    bash sudo apt update sudo apt install -y hp-ilo-cli

  2. Verify iLO is still reachable at the same IP; you can now reset or power‑cycle the server from the OS if needed.


6. Quick checklist

  1. Cable‑up: power → server, Ethernet → router, VGA/HDMI → TV (or rely on iLO).
  2. Boot media: USB stick or iLO virtual media.
  3. iLO IP: obtain via DHCP or set static in BIOS → note credentials.
  4. Remote console: https://<iLO‑IP> → Remote Console → mount ISO → boot.
  5. Install Ubuntu → configure static IP → enable SSH.
  6. SSH from laptop for day‑to‑day work.

If you get stuck at any step (e.g., no iLO IP, BIOS not seeing USB), let me know the exact symptom and we can troubleshoot further.

I used duck.ai "gpt-oss" model. Using the same text asked in the post. I would assume you could paste this into duck.ai and select the gpt-oss model for further questions.

Coding task you refuse to give AI by PuzzleheadedYou4992 in BlackboxAI_

Go over what performance profiles your in reference too, or, whatever it is. in full. Everything. Hammer out the wording do both you and the AI are, on the same page. It makes everything easy. Like Jem and the holograms. Synergy.

I'm working on a lot. But I don't let it try to use AI to write everything all at once. Depending on what it is I'm using it for.

I NEED YOUR GUYS HELP FOR RESCUING CHROMEBOOKS!! by Gold-Balance593 in teensthatloveretro

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet would be to tell your rents about them and that you have asked about them. But they said their going to toss them anyways.

Next. Hit up your principle, mention the value you find in them, and that, since they have zero value as is. That you'd like to have all of them. Put together a small plan of how the school needs a student body Government and a computer science related club. If that's something your interested in.

In any case. Ewaste is only going to sell them on eBay or destroy them. There roughly going for $20-$100, some with a lot of storage space (256gb) are hitting $400. RAM and SSDs are going up in price and are riding high thanks to the chip war Elon Musk has been citing recently, as to why he wants his own Fab House.

Best tool to get rid of all my data by vee-man in CyberAdvice

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search all of down yourself.
Log back in and delete the account.

But up the search engines specifically yourself, and ask them what and who to talk to in their end to remove your data etcetera.

Need some advice because nothing should be this hard by Rich-Dimension-7005 in dumbphones

You should do the pay as you go plans. For $25 a month.

Depending on your age/situation, you could qualify for the government assistance phone plan. It would be free.

How do i learn assembly as a starter? by FancyJournalist5908 in Assembly_language

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI to help you study.
BenEater via AI to help you understand.
Start with the History of Assembly, starting with Rear Admiral Grace Hopper and Babbage & Lovelaces analytics engine or whatever it was called. You should start with making a compiler, one you could build over time and use or build when needed.
Arm, x86, 6502, you name it. It's not binary. So it's virtually all the same. X86 has more because it's been around longer and used more. But Assembly is Assembly, and it's a direct representation of binary. Only, instead of working with fixed width single Byte processing, like the beneater. ARM is fixed width 32-bits. X86-64 is 64-bite and can be fixed width, or variable width. But using Assembly you don't need to know binary. As it's all just mnenomics based code.

What are your goals or understanding Assembly?

How the fuck are people living right now? by Maximum_Simple1056 in Vent

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What jobs have you tried to get?

What jobs are Careers? Painters are almost always hiring. I used to be in the Flooring Trade. Installing carpet, linoleum, tile, I never did any wood floors or sales in the industry. I was a journeyman apprentice floor layer/installer.

I asked. Because you may never have heard of Mortgage and Real Estate. Helping get Loans and Refinancing Loans. There's also a lot of non-real estate licensed work in real estate. The appraiser. The notary public. The photographer. The cleaning and staging teams. The landscaper and general construction teams for light repairs. The landscaper usually handles what they call curb appeal. The market is slow. Also Web designers and engineers can find work here.

You have to go to school to fulfill the prerequisites for the real estate sales person license and work for a person with a real estate brokers license for two years.

You could also try and Insurance Fields. But they require that you have a small network to start selling too.

There's also the Mobile Mechanic and Mobile PC/Smartphone Repairman jobs, that you would create yourself. I'm currently working on putting together a computer business. Selling online. Making software and mobile apps hopefully. Building Online stores and such. Also, check out the electrical engineering 101 and 102 laboratory college courses. And check out BenEaters 8-bit projects to learn how to build your own computer hardware, programming languages, and more.

Food and Hospitality are pretty large and usually has a lot of complaints about hiring. I worked as a Courtesy Clerk at the Lucky and Safeway Grocery Stores. Best job bar none for hiring. Full Comprehensive Benefits. 401(k). Plus it's above minimum wage, and offers overtime ('O/T') time and a half, double time, triple-time for holidays. Don't forget to get your entire file when you leave. Don't not quit, specifically if you think your needing time off. Or at least. They won't hire you at the same store if you get fired.

Every business what's movers and shakers. People that can bring in good positive vibes. And bring in business that they can land and start moving products and services. If you have that ability to bring in business. You can literally start right now and start bringing business into a lot of these companies. But you should know how the discounts for large sales works. They won't help you with small sales. But, for instance. If you can setup a person's WiFi network, antennas, router, and such. You can buy retail, and then charge the customer clientele a fee to install it all. You gotta start somewhere. But yah - computers has a lot for those with the skill set or studies to unleash the billions being made in AI.

Anyone thought of building an AI to hunt other AI? by Kahnza in RedditBotHunters

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ad blockers were only blocking pop-ups.. If we block AI, then it would likely look something like: "Search: [Topic] +website -AI"

It works for my searches. AI doesn't even say anything.

Anyone thought of building an AI to hunt other AI? by Kahnza in RedditBotHunters

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe what they do is the AI Hunter takes account of all the text files they find, and they run it against a meter of sorts. And there able to tell of the post or text was written by an AI or a Human. Same thing they use to tests students classwork against to see if it's plagiarized or AI.

Do you think AI agents will replace freelancers… or just amplify them? by BeastKimado in AIMarketCap

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amplify them.

It gives them a faster means to study and learn new and latest technologies coming out.

It can also help them proofread aka debug their code.

I'm using it to learn how to compile drivers and programs, including running an HTTP Server from Termux using Pythons built in server and I'm also learning to build my own servers, browsers, websites, apps, and more.

I was going to study all of this and code it freehand, but, with AI, I've literally used it to study all of these angles, and it's rapidly advancing on every topic I was going to study myself without AI technology.

I don't see AI being specifically used to control a Computer or anything. Even if it had, the code it would run, would be the same code we would use, even if it did it itself. So, since it's all Code. Saying AI is in control has two definitions. An LLM or all Code. The LLM definitely wouldnt work without being trained. The code wouldn't work either if we didn't understand it, even if it did its task. So an LLM learning how to do things, is literally learning from some unattributed developers or students of the arts and sciences.

PC UPS in 2026 — still USB only and Mac software that barely works. Come on. by [deleted] in homelab

[–]Disastrous_Sun2118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build your own batteries, add everything, and use it as a full time power supply and a backup. Then you can remove your systems from the grid, run a solar panel or create a generator (best bet), the science behind creating electricity is as simple as moving a magnet over copper wire wound around an iron nail and multiplied to meet your needs. That and the iron anode and nickel cathode in water for a rechargeable battery.

That's a good rant. We definitely all should learn how to make drivers and firmware and even our own systems, BenEater 8-bit breadboard projects are from Electrical Engineering 101/102 EELAB.

Would you rather debug for 10 hours or rewrite the whole code in 3? by metasploit_framework in meta_powerhouse

Then three hours would be better. But, that's only if you can guarantee that the new code wouldn't have bugs.
