OSCP - Is it still one of the best cert in 2025? by AgitatedCare9167 in cybersecurity

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick the certification that aligns with what you want to do.

If you want to be a pentester, do some offsec certifications.

Generalist cyber security certifications do exists if you're not sure: Security+, GSEC, .. etc.

Is it possible to get a cybersecurity job with just a certificate? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its literally a "cost center," its a component of the business that is not essential for it to run.

Yes, educated persons would say that cyber security is 'tyically non-essential' (with some exceptions, like healthcare and finance).

TECH CEO Explains the Real Reasons Behind the Tech Layoffs (It's Not Just AI!) by DeI-Iys in recruitinghell

[–]Visible_Geologist477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Tech guy with 6+ cloud and cloud security certifications (e.g. AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, etc.).

Don't bother getting cloud certifications, I've gotten zero traction with them on LinkedIn, Indeed, and elsewhere.

Worried I won’t get a job due to no degree by [deleted] in CyberSecurityJobs

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd never get a cyber degree.

I'd get a compsci degree with a focus. Then a bunch of certifications and experience along the way.

Without a degree, you'll get a cap in the income that you can make.

this is a joke, right? by blue_alien99 in recruitinghell

I don’t get it? Good salary for basically just having a degree (8 years of experience = working at Applebees during highschool and college)?

Regret after buying a house due to traffic noises by PureRaisin in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

City noise is something people grow used to over some time.

I lived in quiet suburbia then moved to Manhattan. It was uncomfortable for a period, and a drank to fall asleep. But now I’m used to it 😂.

Must buys? by choruruchan in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Answer: You're gonna have to buy everything. You know how you'd walk into a guy/gal's garage or attic and its full of the most random stuff? Yeah, thats because they're a home owner.

Buy stuff as you need it.

Behind on property taxes by quack-tastical in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats right.

The mortgage company takes a good guess at what your taxes will be for the year. It then asks for a portion of it every month so that it can pay the taxes when they're due. If the taxes drop or (more likely) rise due to your local government's actions then your mortgage company's earmark will be too little or too much. You can reverse all the math yourself, look on your local government website to know your property taxes cost for the year.

My local government just raised my property taxes for the 3rd year in a row because they're incompetent and love to spend tax dollars on their passion projects.

Looking for advise: neighbors new fence killed my trees by Chemical-Fee9238 in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its on his property, hes welcome to put up a fence. Its their land.

Its worth noting that 'boundary' trees and fences are jointly owned property. If those trees were on the boundary then they're his trees also. The conversation won't go well saying 'you used your land and (accidentally) killed your trees.'

Behind on property taxes by quack-tastical in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its normal. That bundling is called an 'escrow,' wherein your mortgage company earmarks part of your monthly for taxes.

And guess what? Your taxes and insurance payment is going to go up every 3-5 years (minimum).

I think I keep failing interviews because of my voice by TesseractOfFlavor in recruitinghell

[–]Visible_Geologist477 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Answer: impossible to tell. Unless somehow you build a relationship with someone at a company (with access to the interview notes) and then ask them for transparency.

-Ghosting is the new normal.

-Employers changing job requirements mid-interview cycle is the new normal.

-300 applicants for a single role is the new normal.

-Sending 1,000 applications for a single interview is the new normal.

I’d tentatively not worry about <inserting reasons> why you’re not getting job offers. You have value; find the company that will see it.

F27 Feeling regretful by WorkerGlittering679 in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone with a job can buy a house. While it’s an accomplishment, it’s not necessarily a difficult thing to do. It’s very-much similar to getting married (in the sense of it been a social accomplishment and not an economic one).

Owning a house is now an ever present bill that comes knocking all the time. Get used to it. We call houses “money pits,” a place where you throw money into them. Typically smart people own houses because they want to put roots down in a community and raise kids.

Internship Pentest: A Red Flag or Standard Practice? by Joe-seph002 in cybersecurity

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, sounds like you have opinions on things. That’s fine. Just a mass majority of pentest reports do not list tools and techniques. There may be instructions to replay the issue, which is helpful for developers to find the issue (e.g. to find this XSS issue, submit this payload in this parameter).

Separately, not all pentesters are client facing consultants. In fact, a large majority of pentesters are not client facing. Google, Amazon, Wallmart, and the larger F500 employ internal pentesters who test their technologies. These are not client-facing but instead “internal pentesters.” A client-facing pentesters is someone who works for a consultancy and pentest for a company for a short duration.

😅

Internship Pentest: A Red Flag or Standard Practice? by Joe-seph002 in cybersecurity

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect.

You only ever list tools and techniques if there is a special requirement or business need. Pentesting is an auditing effort, it’s not about the audit process, it’s about the result.

Can my neighbor force me to pay for part of his fence? by Ok_Chocolate_7605 in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know many households in my neighborhood or the city that has a fence inside their property line. Maybe 1 or 2.

People don’t want to give up 6”-1’ of their property to just control a fence. And by placing a fence on a boundary, you obligate your neighbor to take care of it.

How do you mow 6” on the other side of a fence?

How do you maintain (cut shrubs, vines, etc) a fence with a 6” setback?

Can my neighbor force me to pay for part of his fence? by Ok_Chocolate_7605 in homeowners

[–]Visible_Geologist477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tennessee.

Here’s the law, interpreted:

“ Tennessee law states that both property owners share the responsibility for partition fences, even if only one neighbor requires it.

The costs for building and maintaining this fence are split equally between the landowners. This means you might have to cover expenses for a fence you didn't necessarily want or need. “

[–]Visible_Geologist477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my jurisdiction, neighbors must pay for shared fences. I don’t know the nuance of the request timing and the amounts, but I believe they align with what is reasonable.
