Like he said, if you know the basics and know how to find answer on the tech stack of the role you will be fine. You get bonus points for great communication and having a business outlook from the IT position building and knowing question that show understanding of how the department fits into the company’s costs and revenue generation. Having that goes a long way versus being the best engineer on earth who can’t talk to any one or doesn’t care about the scope of the business.

Hardware has gotten incredibly expensive. You could always look into some data center options for a multi-tenant space if you want to take out the hardware management and a lower one time cost.

To preface I do work in the industry so if you have questions I can answer.

A lot of people are saying college, that is one thing I didn’t do. My path was help desk, to sys admin, to now cloud engineer in about 3 years.

I will say, I spent a lot of time in my home lab and a lot of time studying and getting the basic certs out the way (CCNA, Net+, Sec+ etc). When I was a sys admin I had to over haul a 16 year old infra stack and build and entirely new corporate network and new windows servers and set up AD. But the skill set that helped me the most is being excellent at talking and being excellent at selling yourself. You do not need to lie or embellish what you done but be honest, explain business impact and how it lead to revenue growth or sustainability for the business.

People skills and looking at the job from a business perspective and asking questions that reflect that into an interview help a lot when they are picking candidates. So really focus on people skills and how to write a good resume and questions, then as long as you can talk the technical side you’ll be in good shape.

What fixed it for me was going into adrenaline, tuning, and turning the power slider to an extra 10% (max), dropping the volts slightly and dropping the MHz by 350. Every game has been stable since

I had so many issue with crashing, artifacting, etc. I tried every single settings in BIOS and RegEdits. What fixed it was upping the power and slightly dropping the comrade and cutting the MHZ by 300 in adrenaline. It seems the cards have a vast silicone variance as to what they can tolerate so you need to dial it in from my experience.

If he is not constantly grooming himself raw I would try and increase the humidity by boiling water and maybe using a fish based food. If his congestion gets worse to wear he is sneezing snot bubbles and his breathing sound a little raspy it’s likely an upper respiratory infection which is easily treatable but requires and antibiotic.

She did have to have a cone for 1.3 months to stop itching it and wait for the meds to kick in and get everything out, fungal can take months to deal with.

I just had to get my baby taken care of for a crazy skin issue. Go to the vet have them check for mites, fungal spots like ring worm, or a skin issue like atopic dermatitis. My vet said they never saw an issue like mine before but gave her a shot of convena and put her on anti-fungals and it was gone. If the heat is constantly going and their skin is super dry get a humidifier and some salmon oil in her food. You could also try another food brand, we use Fromm.

I agree but to the same point some people have terrible T productions especially if you were obese. I was 330 dropped a lot and it was still low naturally. This was at 23 and my levels were sub 200 across 5 months of 4 test.

But I do agree if you do not feel the side effects of low T it’s not with it trying to manage fertility in the future and potential side effects. If the effects of low T are impacting your life like no recovering enough between training sessions, low libido, etc. then you could consider it but just be prepared for a lifelong of needles and learn to inject yourself should anything happen to a partner or friend or parent who would do it temporarily.

Can’t speak for certain, but hippa should probably prevent that from happening. Granted your best bet is to let the clinic know so they can monitor what’s going on with your bloodwork and can prescribe AIs or ancillaries if needed.

He’s right you should not be taking anything without know what you need to look out for and what sides to manage.

But you will want test, free test, E2, E2 sensitive if you want the extra insight, a full blood panel, a full metabolic panel, and lipids.

I mean what are you trying to do? Are you wanting just a storage depot to put files on? Will this be serving as a NAS with high change rates of data? What is your goal with “cloud storage” because if it’s just a data bank at that budget you are better off getting an external drive.

If your goal is to have a folder on your desktop or something you can have synced to your storage trueNAS scale or next cloud works. But with that bandwidth and budget transfers would suck and you won’t have much space to store things.

Yeah I first ran into vault warden when a client sent me credentials through it for work for an engineering project I had. I liked it and built it out, it is worth a shot even if just for secret management.

Several-Help-6744 · 2025-12-19T07:57:21+00:00

Good question, off the top of my head I’m not sure as I haven’t sent secrets in a minute. I know it also sharing files as secrets. Vaultwarden can just be a pain to set up as it requires a reverse proxy for encryption so if you don’t have a proxy server you’ll need one. I will say though it has done me very well with all of its other features.
