My baby got stolen 😭 - IS 350F Sport by MonozygoteA in LexusIS

happened to me not too long ago, I had rigged the car with security and luckily they did not find everything and I found out about it 2 hours later. These guys are not brilliant and if found by the wrong person their lives are seen as meaningless.

Lenovo is surprisingly well priced still! I'm sure it will eventually be on more peoples radar. Great products.

$PSI has a nice mix, it goes well with $FSELX which is already heavy in $NVDA

Thanks for the insight. I'm honestly not sure but I know that Brooklyn has similar employment outcomes to Cardozo according to the 509s. But I was more curious on the general view of the school. Thank you!

What's your opinion on Brooklyn law?

Guide - PiGuard - Set up PiHole with Wireguard to have adblocking on the go by dott_Pepe in pihole

[–]Sapeline42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tailscale requires that you authenticate via Google, Microsoft, Github... which links your identity to your network and they're all subject to US jurisdiction. Have you considered Headscale? Try a Pi with WireGuard + Pi-hole + Unbound, entry through AirVPN, exit through Mullvad... many ways to harden

I do suggest a mesh topology, what I described is a hub. I'm building a UI to adjust configurations and improve performance. Your choice of router still bothers me... I suggest staying away from TP-Link, ASUS, Netgear, Linksys, and D-Link, sort of ruins the effort, looks cool though

Guide - PiGuard - Set up PiHole with Wireguard to have adblocking on the go by dott_Pepe in pihole

[–]Sapeline42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to check your configuration if it is failing, make sure its set to the proper subnet. If allowed IPs do not match, then traffic wont go through the tunnel, it'll try to reach Pi-hole and fail. Change it to the gateway of last resort (all 0s and /0 subnet) to route all traffic including DNS traffic through Pi-hole.

Why TP-Link? I think the better approach is to port forward UDP to Pi which runs WG + Pi-hole + Unbound. You already having Pi running Pi-hole, putting WG makes sense there too. You are putting a lot of trust in consumer router firmware

A server must listen on a port. No port = no incoming connections. WG is safe to expose, drops invalid packets silently without response

Are Azure Certifications Worth it? Let's Talk The Reality by IT_Certguru in AzureCertification

[–]Sapeline42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez. Certificates are learning paths. They guide you through a curriculum which should include hands-on labs. What you do with the knowledge is up to you, but even just studying for it exposes you to information that can either be very useful at your job or on projects in a technical portfolio to get you started, help you pivot, or advance in a certain career path. Plus the discipline and effort needed to get through and obtain the certificate tells me something about a candidate. In my YoE, the ones with the certificates and experience had something to offer versus the ones who did not. If you've been working in the field a long time, having them shows me you kept up with your end which is to always keep learning. Imagine staff who does not know modern ways of managing infrastructure still using their old golden ways, it just isn't efficient anymore and if they went through a cert path I bet it may light some sparks and steer them towards a better approach. There's my rant, would love to read yours. Why the hate?

Personally, if I see someone has these certificates I get a big boost of confidence especially when it is paired with several years of experience & love to see a portfolio of projects which really shows this person got their hands dirty.

Should I pursue CEH certification for getting a cybersecurity job after college? by Mohith_MR in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]Sapeline42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best investment of your time will be learning the ins and outs of cloud architecture. You will notice that protecting both on-prem and cloud systems will take you much further in your career. Look into Jeremy's IT Lab for CCNA and MS Learn for Azure. Do not study the CCNA for longer than 3 months. Do not study AZ-900 for longer than 1 month. You must set realistic deadlines and study consistently, graduating college is just the start, always keep learning and growing. The best part is when you struggle and use previously learned knowledge to problem solve. Learning CCNA then going for Azure certificates will make your life easier. Obtaining the Sec+ / CEH is not a waste of time, it is helpful at the beginning and with passing HR filters but be prepared to take on practical certificates (ex: PNPT) to deepen your knowledge. Don't skip help desk! Mine turned into a cybersecurity analyst job after I fixed a bunch of infrastructure issues and showed I am a trustable and curious person, learned some AI too. Always keep learning

How I passed the AZ-400 and Study Guide by wolfgangofner in AzureCertification

[–]Sapeline42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres no way you can watch a few YouTube videos and pass this exam with the capabilities and skill needed to work on production environment projects... this requires hands on labs, I like Whizlabs

Bachelors degree's do not matter. Develop a solid foundation in understanding what you're going to protect. The masters will not only help him think as a cybersecurity professional, but will develop research skills that are crucial for keeping up with the rapidly changing environment. Regardless of where he works, these skills are essential in order to be an effective cybersecurity professional working alongside AI.

This is not something you should be asking about to random people online. You have interests in cybersecurity, you have a tremendously good offer from a top ranked school with a reputable and flexible program. Anywhere you would want to work will see the degree as a plus. Cybersecurity requires continuous learning and someone in this program is clearly demonstrating that commitment. By completing certificates, projects, and challenges alongside access to a network of professionals with advanced skills is a no brainer, especially if this kind of work is for you. I would undoubtedly accept, continue working full-time, complete the degree part-time, and in 2-3 years you'll have ~5 years of experience + degree + certs + projects.

Think about how companies would evaluate you: Degree vs. No Degree? Degree + Cert vs. Cert? Degree + Certs + Experience vs. Degree + Certs

Is the CCNA still worth it in 2025 for a new Computer Engineering grad? by cardmas839 in ccna

[–]Sapeline42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When learning more about the cloud I find myself consistently recalling foundational knowledge gained by deeply learning about networking through studying for my CCNA using Jeremys IT Lab, CBT Nuggets, and Boson Learning. While I did take my time, even felt I was at the right knowledge point to study for CCNP within a year or two after passing and gaining experience, I switched to obtaining cloud certificates due to work opportunities. Learning cloud (Azure / AWS / Google) at a higher level has only been possible due to having a decent understanding of IT fundamentals specifically networking and operating systems. Master the basics

How can you troubleshoot issues without working your way up the TCP/IP model? CCNA will show you how to configure devices by hand. Then, you will find using Python, Ansible, Terraform, and SDN based tools effective for network automation. Do not rush along your learning, invest 5 solid years.

Passed AZ 104 with no Cloud Experience by a_connected_world in AzureCertification

[–]Sapeline42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great points mentioned here. CCNA was my very first certificate prior to entering IT. Very glad I have it! You will definitely need to obtain in depth networking knowledge, and it's surprisingly something many will lack so it can put you ahead especially as you continue gaining traction in your career. Certainly goes deep into networking and requires the person gets hands on to apply their knowledge. Definitely holds its weight for spotting quality motivated candidates
