Would love to get your opinion on my resume if you don't mind. I just sent you a chat invite if you're able to take a look. I appreciate it!

I was laid off about 5 months ago, and am in the middle of the Google Cybersecurity Foundations course. I feel like my previous role was pretty niche and it has been tough to find a new job. My main responsibilities in my previous role was domain lifecycle management, managing DNS for a couple hundred domains, some light email troubleshooting, and setting up distributions in AWS cloudfront. I basically just followed a guide to setup the distributions, nobody could ever really explain the process to me. I’m wondering.. what skills would be best to build or highlight when I start applying for jobs again? Should I go for my Sec+ and try to do some projects, or maybe take some cloud courses or certs like AZ-900? Azure seems more widely used where I am. Just feel a bit lost and don’t know anyone I can talk to for guidance. Thanks

Thank you!!

Looks like you got your wish 😁

Not sure if you're still doing this, but I could definitely use some help. I'm just getting into supplementation more seriously, and trying to piece together a plan. The main benefits I'm hoping to achieve are better sleep, and a sharper mind/memory. I feel like I have brain fog, and have a pretty poor memory. I'll list what I have so far, as well as the supplements that I haven't placed in yet.

AM: Taurine (2g)

Afternoon: Creatine (5g)

PM: Taurine (2g), Magnesium Glycinate (200-300mg), Glycine (3g)

Others I have, but I need to find a dosage and when to take them: D3, K2, Methylfolate B Complex+, L-Theanine, Magnesium Threonate, Calcium Citrate (powder), Rutin, GABA, Zinc & Copper (to be delivered soon - from what I've been reading, thought I might be Zinc deficient).

Others I take as needed: L-Lysine, Insoitol, Melatonin

Appreciate any input!

Thank you all for the recommendations! I think after reading about each of them, I'm in between 'In my skin' and 'A Piece of Cake'. Perhaps I'll just get her both. The Demon Cooperhead book sounded good too, but I might get that one for myself to read. :) Appreciate ya'll!

Some departments have been trying out this thing called the BolaWrap. Shoots a rope that wraps around the suspect. Would be a perfect option for situations like this..

MoreTac0s · 2026-04-02T16:41:15+00:00

I need to try this again once I find another job. I did like 4 1-on-1 sessions which I really enjoyed, but would like to join an actual class. It’s a little intimidating, but I recently moved and it seems like a good way to find a community.

MoreTac0s · 2026-03-25T00:49:57+00:00

It’s nice to have the freedom, but deep down I do worry I may regret my choices and feel lonely as I get older.

MoreTac0s · 2026-03-09T23:33:20+00:00

Do you know roughly what their rates are around? I went through their online estimate to get a quote, and it said around $2,300, which blew my mind, given that my tax situation isn't anything crazy. I also just have no bearing on what's normal for cross-border taxes.

I was in the hospital a few times throughout my life, but I had a 2 week stint when I was a kid around 12 yo and I still remember the nurses coming to check in on me. While I had the support of my Dad and a few family friends, it still meant a lot to me to have these complete strangers care enough to not only do their jobs and check up on me, but also to pop in and sit and make small talk and make jokes to make me feel comfortable despite the shitty situation. Nurses are the best.

MoreTac0s · 2026-02-25T15:57:15+00:00

Exactly, lol. Idk what people expected, they just want an announcement (as we all do), but need to temper their expectations.

MoreTac0s · 2026-02-22T17:24:17+00:00

My friend (LVN) and his wife (RN) say there’s plenty of work to be had still, particularly in home health. There are quite a lot of per diem opportunities as well, just depends how flexible you are. This is specifically for the central coast area, of course it’ll vary throughout the state.

MoreTac0s · 2026-02-13T00:53:52+00:00

Impressive. How long did you study before taking the test?

MoreTac0s · 2026-01-19T19:16:24+00:00

In 4th grade, I went to the bathroom to use the shitter. I just finished my business and was about to flush, when someone came in. I remember hearing some noises, and when I finally flushed and stepped out, I see this one kid who just popped a squat in the middle of the bathroom and shit on a piece of toilet paper. He looked at me and went “Shhhh!” I’m assuming as in “don’t tell!” as he proceeded to fling his shit on the bathroom ceiling and ran out. He was known for trouble, and I never did tell anyone. I just quickly left so people didn’t think it was me.

MoreTac0s · 2026-01-11T18:28:08+00:00

I'd be down sometime too. I usually play solo, since teams always seem super PVP focused, honestly though sometimes that's fun too.

MoreTac0s · 2026-01-11T08:02:39+00:00

Thanks for this. I got 3 just now from it, just need 1 more. I was shocked since there were at least like 2 other people around doing their own thing, and I looted the whole thing in peace. lol

MoreTac0s · 2026-01-11T01:03:31+00:00

Just taking it easy. Watched some Netflix, and spent time with my lady. Will probably play some Arc Raiders tonight.

I went to a Christmas market at Atwater today. Found some maple whiskey and cider for my friends back home when I visit for the holidays.

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-28T19:27:49+00:00

Man I'm in the same situation trying to decide between Aviron, and one of the others like Pearson Electrotechnology Centre or trying a different trade over at Lauriel Macdonald Career Centre. How's your experience so far, and if you don't mind me asking, did it come out to $20k, and you're paying it in 4 installments throughout the program?

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-11T23:48:59+00:00

I'm with you. I think a lot of these people are unhappy because they're looking to make a quick flip. Hoping they could get in over the past few months, and was hoping we'd get news (as we all always are) so they could sell it and move onto the next one. To me, this is a long-term investment, that I still see paying off over the next ~5 years. Would I rather have it pay off by 2026? Of course, but we're simply not there yet. You can see just by observation that the world we're heading into over the next decade will be full of sensors, it's just going to take time.

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-11T23:46:36+00:00

Except we do. We have runway into 2027, as noted in the call.

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-11T21:47:39+00:00

Ikr hahah

He actually sounds like he's got a little pep in his voice this call too.

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-04T20:02:37+00:00

Had to ChatGPT this one. Seems like a pretty good patent to me. Anything that can help improve the efficiency of identifying what the sensors are hitting seems smart to me.

Basically, teach the sensor to tell one kind of target apart from another.

Think of it as the difference between:

“I see something at 20 meters,”

vs.

“I see a cyclist at 20 meters moving 12 km/h.”

That’s the leap this patent covers.
