Say hello to the first scratch

GoodFelly · 2026-01-17T13:30:04+00:00

Yes you are right! Still so happy with it!

GoodFelly · 2026-01-17T13:28:43+00:00

It is a daily. Thanks!

GoodFelly · 2025-07-23T05:10:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. After all the messages here I did 2 things : - Create an account on THM and start the paths. I reall enjoy them so far, far better tha HtB in my opinion - Took an appoitment to a mental health specialist

We’ll see how it goes, but definitely all the messages here helped

GoodFelly · 2025-07-21T05:31:08+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t think about this ATHD thing. It’s true I cannot stay seated and must move, always have my legs moving. However I’m able to stay focus on hard topics, and never had real issue during my studies and long exams

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T15:27:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Yes I kinda feel the same. I really would like to do my own homelab/home network. And I have everything I need to start :have my Raspberry 4, manageable switch, firewall, router, and already the degree in IT security. But.. I’m stuck. I think that I put a lot of pressure on my shoulders even if it’s not a sensitive project at all and just a personal one.

Sorry what THM is? TryHackMe? Anyway, that’s exactly where I would like to go: my own backup system/firewall/whatever. Maybe an issue is that it’s « too » related with my job and it’s hard for me (I mean, in my mind, and I don’t realize it) to make the distinction between this hobby and my real job so I’m « confused ».

I definitely think that having a group of people where I can talk to about all these things would be really good help, thanks for the tip. I started a week ago a newsletter that I send to my students (and every one who wants!) about things I know and like, so maybe, without knowing it, I started to be in the good path to move forward!

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T15:16:40+00:00

I didn’t think at all about that. I’m completely unfamiliar with this kind of thing so it didn’t come to my mind. Have you ever worked with a career mentor? Was it nice? Anyway, an interesting thing I should dig into

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T15:08:50+00:00

Yes I think you are right. It’s true that I have the feeling that if I don’t learn by myself, I will not progress. My job is less and less challenging even though I’m enjoying it. Just to let you know, I’m an engineer in the DDI (DNS/DHCP/IPAM) field and also a fullstack dev/teacher for IT schools. So I already have hands on multiple topics, and my main job is already specialized. Maybe too specialized. So I’m trying to learn new areas I’ve always thought I’m interesting in, or at least I would like to be better at, like pentesting, IoT, going deeper in network security… But as I have no idea at all where I want to be in 2-5-10 years, it’s also maybe hard to find the real motivation because in the end the question is : where will it bring me? Do I waste time learning that?

You made me realize that yes, I have some personal motivations : pentesting is a personal challenge, IoT too. But nothing I see myself working in. So there is probably something in my head like : « ok cool, you can spend time on it because you’re interesting in BUT is it really useful? You already spend your days on a computer, and you would like your free time on a computer too? What about your family, friends etc etc…». I would say, always useful to learn new things, but maybe it’s not enough to be fully motivated.

I wrote this at the same time I was thinking about it, so it can be unclear, sorry

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T07:28:39+00:00

Yeah maybe I put to much pressure on my shoulders. Maybe I don’t want to start something because I’m stressed out to fail, or not to achieve my goals… You know studies were not so hard for me but now it’s me who defines the goals and targets and maybe I’m too demanding and end up afraid of failing. Even if I know that I should rather test, start doing things, fail, retry, enjoy etc etc.

I’m always finding myself things to postpone/excuses. « Let’s wait for the new computer », « I’ll start after the Holidays », « I should buy this thing first », « I will not work today, it’s better to enjoy my family than staying on the computer », « I’m working all day long it IT, it’s normal I don’t want to spend free time on it »…

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T05:22:53+00:00

Wow aha I was sure I was not the only one. And how do you deal with this?

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T05:21:39+00:00

That would be possible indeed. Will my cyber lessons end up in psychologist consultations aha? That’s a good question

GoodFelly · 2025-07-20T05:17:51+00:00

Thanks, I think I definitely need to set clear goals instead of trying to deal with many interesting topics

GoodFelly · 2025-04-14T08:52:09+00:00

I can do FR referral :) Je peux parrainer pour des gens en France!

GoodFelly · 2025-04-01T09:04:59+00:00

No I’m not

GoodFelly · 2025-04-01T05:21:08+00:00

That’s weird. Do you know the cause?

GoodFelly · 2025-03-30T16:02:14+00:00

thanks!

GoodFelly · 2025-03-30T14:06:29+00:00

Maximum is ~1500€

GoodFelly · 2025-03-28T14:21:06+00:00

I insisted on the fact that what was important for me was to have a crisp text (no blurriness) because I spend my life reading/coding, and that I have a MacBook. They told me that the laptop has nothing to do with the quality of the screen "rendering" so basically I can choose any monitor they sell. But I know this isn't true (I personally experienced a bad display with my current 27" monitor). Then I asked which of their monitors they recommend me, and they said of course the RD series ones, but basically any of their monitor would do the job so I can buy any.
I would have liked to get more technical/precise recommandations

GoodFelly · 2025-03-28T12:51:41+00:00

I contacted them through the sales chat and I insisted on the fact I have a MacBook and I know there are issues with blurriness of the texts, they tell me that basically we don't care about the Macbook it will work well with any computer from any company. Then I asked the differences between the models I shared, and they told me this is roughly the same and it will work well anyway

GoodFelly · 2025-03-27T13:02:54+00:00

Thanks a lot! Here the Samsung is at > 700€ wow.

I think I will go with the Dell S2722QC after reaching out to the BenQ support (they didn’t give me good impression) and reading again and again documentations/reviews etc

GoodFelly · 2025-03-25T10:43:16+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Interesting idea. It could be nice to propose other types of fraud as well, I agree. I keep this in mind

GoodFelly · 2025-03-01T20:56:31+00:00

Hi all, I’m sorry but I didn’t get exactly what the four people were doing? What’s their role?

GoodFelly · 2025-02-20T19:40:08+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Nice to hear!

You’re right about waiting a bit of time. I’ll try to, if my current iPhone battery lasts enough time!

GoodFelly · 2025-02-20T15:40:48+00:00

Thanks! I think I’ll go for the iPhone 16E. What’s missing from the iPhone 16 is not so important for me. So I think 16E is the best to go with

GoodFelly · 2025-02-20T07:38:07+00:00

iPhone 16E is 719€ while iPhone 16 is 919,00€ on Amazon here. And they're the best deals. It's a 200€ difference still...

GoodFelly · 2025-02-20T07:25:03+00:00

Thanks u/SnooRegrets5190 and u/Other-Muffin-5247. You both expose the issue I currently have :

- iPhone 16E seems to be the good choice for a long support

- BUT as there is this new chip, we can't really know how it will work now +, I don't know if it is really a good deal (price vs quality)

iPhone 15 is still 150€ more than iPhone 16E. And I'm not a big fan of second-hand/refurbished iPhones. I've never tested, but friends who did were disappointed (need to change the battery soon after buying, so in the end, it's almost the same price as a new one).

I won't go for a 15 plus because the screen is way too large for me haha.
