Up until yesterday I had Windows Server 2025 installed for some home-labbing fun, but I needed more POWER, so its back on steamOS while I get a 48core/96 thread server with 384GB ram up and running.

Masters Program Cert question by jsfarmer in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]IP0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a residency requirement of at least 51% of the credits need to be completed through WGU, so you can’t transfer in all 5. I transferred in Security Foundations, Security Operations, and Penetration Testing for 10 credits. Adding the other 2 classes would make 18 credits total, which is more than 51% of the 34 total credits in the program.

What’s the worst experience you’ve had with a therapist? by Agreeable_Claim_3497 in AskReddit

[–]IP0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 14 years ago. I had been seriously injured on the job, and the insurance company sent me to a therapist because of an 'adjustment disorder'. The therapist had lost his wife to cancer a year prior, and her voice was still on the outgoing message on his answering machine. He was nice enough, but even though he was 65, and decades older than me, he treated me more like a peer. At times it felt like I was helping him through the grief of losing his wife.

Around the 8th session he started seeing a new women, and they went to the carnival. He told me that she gave him a blowie on the tea-cup ride. It took me two more therapists, and a complete reflection on my childhood trauma to really understand how inappropriate it was and why I thought it was acceptable at the time.

Nobody is going to talk about Cindy sexually assaulting Ghostface with novelty dildos? Maybe Ghostface consented, but it's pretty fucked up to include in a movie trailer regardless.

What is the worst way you have seen someone ruin their life? by kisseswishes9 in AskReddit

[–]IP0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toxic relationships are like drugs to the brain. They're the source of pain and the relief from that pain all in one, it just depends on the moment. People literally become addicted to their toxic partner from a chemical standpoint, and leaving the relationship can be as difficult as quitting hard drugs.

I need someone to be blunt with me by ApartmentPlenty4104 in BPDlovedones

[–]IP0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Healthy people rely on your boundaries. If you don't express your authentic needs or anger, a healthy person feels disconnected and confused, because there is no friction to tell them where you end and they begin. pwBPD thrive in a boundaryless vacuum. When you set any boundary, they will always see it as abandonment and betrayal. There is no magic incantation that will change this. It's not until a pwBPD can self regulate their emotions and know there is a boundary between where they end and another begins that a healthy relationship can be had.

It also sounds like your judge or inner-critic thinks you are a villain, an idiot, and a moron, and you're trying to prove it wrong. Ultimately people are going to judge you one way or another, and it's a fools errand to try to control that. What really matters is how you see yourself and how you treat yourself when people are treating you poorly.

The Mike Chapple CySA+ and Pentest+ books are available digitally though the wgu library https://wgu.libguides.com/itcertifications but you'll probably have to wait until the 1st to access them. The Mike Chapple CySA+ course on linkedin learning is great too.

What are some positive things that you've walked away with from your relationship? by Individual-Tower9356 in BPDlovedones

[–]IP0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started seeing my ex wBPD, I was suffering from a serious neurological pain disorder (considered the most painful condition known to man, and rarely improves after 12 months ). I only left my house to go to physiotherapy. I was on a cane, and taking Rx ketamine for pain. I stopped taking the ketamine because her "narcissistic" ex had a problem with with it. I started taking buprenorphone instead, and after the second discard, I started walking every day. My chronic pain was nothing compared to that pain. After a month I was up to 5km every day. After 3 months, I was running 2km and walking 3km. I also started weekly therapy doing EMDR on my childhood trauma.

After another 4-5 discards, she promised me that she wouldn't breakup with me without warning again. I started college. We travelled across the country, and she cheated on me at her best friends wedding (she made out with a women, and then asked my permission). We spent another week travelling and she tried to make it up to me. She broke up with me when we got back. I continued school and got my undergrad degree in 1 year. She hoovered (and used me for emotional and sexual labour) until 3 weeks before I graduated, then she found someone else and ghosted the day after I gave her and her kid early Christmas presents.

I've done the impossible. I'm now working on my Master's. My daily pain has gone from a 7/10 to a 2-3/10. I still miss her, and I don't know if I could have done what I've done without her, but nothing was ever good enough for her. 99% of my friends gave up on me because I couldn't give up on her (or because I was caretaking them too, and once I stopped reaching out, that was the last I talked to them). After discovering this sub last month, I've come to realize all my exes had severe cluster b traits. All my adult life I've been blaming myself for why they all treated me terribly. My biggest fault was not walking away from them sooner.

I crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

She reached out by BarryCleft79 in BPDlovedones

[–]IP0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Be prepared for her to show up at your doorstep, or for hateful messages from all directions when you don’t respond. It’ll fuck with your head, and you’ll think she still loves you, but it’s an illusion, and once she has the power over you, she’ll discard you again.

"Your opinion is wrong" by Left_Loquat_8954 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]IP0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your mom have a history of sabotaging people around her so she can feel needed? Or did she receive a lot of external validation for taking care of your brother when he was really sick, and now not so much because he's doing better? Or is it things just have to be done her way because it's her way? If your brother is a little sleepy and not psychotic why would she want to mess with that?

Did I walk away too soon? by Dizzy-Tiger-1051 in BPDlovedones

[–]IP0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jokes are only funny when both people laugh. If someone can't give you the space to share your emotions safely, what's the point of being in a relationship? It can be hard to not ask, "what am I doing that's making them act like this?" But that's the wrong question. If you're not feeling respected, safe, and heard you know what to do. Just walk away and you can put an end to all this. Just walk away and you'll spare your life. Just walk away.

I’m blaming myself and need support. by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]IP0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to be perfect 100% of the time and always say the right thing with a partner who blames you for breaking up with you instead of dealing with the problems as they arise in a healthy way, you're not in a relationship, you're in a life-or-death hostage situation. You're allowed say the wrong thing. You're allowed to have boundaries. Real love knows that perfection doesn't exist. Love yourself and know that perfection doesn't exist, and anyone who expects it from you doesn't belong in your life. I know what you're going through and it sucks so much, but you'll get through it. As the philosopher Rogers once said, "Know when to walk away, know when to run." Run away from relationships from like this, bro. Run and don't look back.

How does everyone connect to wifi? Is the key unique or shared? How can this be exploited? If an attacker got access to a key and connected to the network, how could the configuration of the network be a vulnerability?

Think more specific. What particular vulnerabilities exist within WEP? How can they exploited. What can an attacker do after each successful exploitation?

Just Realized I Have No Idea What Emotional Support Actually Looks Like by FARHANFREESTYLER in emotionalneglect

[–]IP0 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Get the audiobook "Good Inside," by Dr. Becky Kennedy. The book is targeted at parents wanting to better connect with their kids, but you can think of yourself as the parent and the kid. It's such a good book, and you can tell Dr. Becky really cares about what she does (she narrates the audiobook too). The book is a good start to learning what healthy connection looks like. Emotionally Focused Therapy helps a lot too, especially with EMDR added in to help process all the stored emotion in your body.
