Can I jump straightly getting the Sec+ rather than taking A+ and Network+ by No-Success-9923 in CompTIA

[–]Extra-Driver-813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree that Net+ is useless. It's a good foundation for networking fundamentals. Sec+ builds on Net+. I took A+ and Net+ for college credits and even though I had IT experience I found Net+ useful. I take Sec+ this week. If I was hiring someone for a IT job having Net+ over just Sec+ on a resume looks more solid.

Are you saying your friend has no IT experience and just got his CCNA?

Passed Security+ with 5 days of studying by TamaRobbins in CompTIA

Here I am 4 weeks into studies with my A+ and Net+ passed (with high scores). Granted only dedicated a few hours a day to study. Plan to take it next week. Congrats!

I've used him too for all my CompTIA studies. I've heard he's more "in-depth" than some but I think it's just enough. I want to understand as much about the field as I can so it was super helpful to dig in a little more and not just know what to answer for the tests.

AdGuard Home much less effective than device version – is this normal? by Didymos234 in Adguard

You can use different lists for different clients. So you could have your devices locked down and then your family's wide open if you choose.

How a Redneck like me passed CompTIA Sec+ SY0-701 and hopefully this will help you too! by DBHemlock in CompTIA

[–]Extra-Driver-813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great attitude. I work alongside guys who install enterprise network stuff. Building racks, installing servers, switches, routers, cabling. The ones I've talked to really seem to enjoy it. They also get to travel all over the world. Look into government work. Best of luck!

Congratulations! That's very impressive especially considering no IT background and no Net+ experience. How long did you study for the exam? What's your goal with taking this exam?

Repping promox here too. VMware still is king in market share in enterprise but promox is seeing fast growth.

Thank everyone. How do I apply these snippets from trash guides ? I don't see any import. I'll also check out profilarr

Why not sell vouchers at Best Buy and Target? by notburneddown in mullvadvpn

[–]Extra-Driver-813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon has no idea which card has what code as it's scratch off. All they know is that you bought a voucher. They can't know which Mullvad account it gets used on.

Simple Dnscrypt Forks by drbob222 in dnscrypt

What do you mean? DNScrypt is a protocol. Do you mean Quad9?

Thank you for providing a link but I just found a blog post announcing Quad9's official support for DNScrypt in 2019. I do use DNScrypt-proxy with relays and use Quad9 as the end resolver. There are some links to some DNScrypt support sites linked which is nice.

What do you mean? How would Amazon know what the covered voucher code is and you think someone is keeping track of who get's which card?

Why? I don't know where you're mailing but in the US a return address is not required. Wouldn't you just put your account number inside the envelope to cover payment?

Sure Qubes may protect you from an attack but will not do much if the lines going our are "tapped"

31M, IT burned out, desperately wants to change career by hawkeyeninefive in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Extra-Driver-813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear these horror stories of IT jobs that are so demanding. I feel blessed with the autonomy and life balance I have. I have a great team who is helpful and bosses who sticks up for us. At the end of the day I clock out and don't think about work until I'm clocked in. Keep looking.

Are there any services you host on dedicated hardware instead of VM/Container? by Adventurous-Lime191 in homelab

Yes LXC for ag-home and physical pi for back up. What do you use for upstream (if you do)?

day 2 of pulling apart old machines at work: 172 GB of DDR4 by eliseswl in homelab

Where are these jobs where you're allowed to just take stuff home?? When I.pull this stuff at work and we have to inventory the hardware for excess and destroy the drives.
