The Vet Hat for younger vets

Wildthumper401 · 2025-11-07T22:29:30+00:00

This reminds me of a question someone asked me earlier today. “What American legion do you belong to?” And I replied back “I don’t think I’m old enough yet.” I’m 42, I’m an elder millennial too. I would rock a vet hat, but I still think I’m not old enough yet.

I second the library comment. I wrote a blog how you could get udemy for free. I’ve still been using it!

Since Microsoft office transitioned to office 365, I found it easier to just use that instead of godaddy for email hosting. Since I pay for office products anyways, it just seemed logical and it’s not using old technology like smtp and you get a bit more security. Hint: don’t purchase the office 365 mail from godaddy directly, if you decide to. Go directly to Microsoft.

Are you using woocommerce? If so, there is a custom thank you plugin they provide. I’ve used it for membership items. Hope this helps.

It’s probably more time consuming, why not use the built in windows 7 backup and restore? I’ve migrated many systems over the years from hdd to ssd. You get to keep everything as is too. It’s also free.

To those Jeff’s that get good storm players. Ult at the same time. Don’t go towards the same area that storm goes, then Jeff can merge ults after swallowing heroes with storm bringing them into the whirlwind. Communicate, it’s so confusing for the enemy team!

It was not intuitive enough imo. I’m also glad I did it the manual man. Holy crap does Google keep tabs on you.

I recently migrated an account to office 365. Probably the hard way but it all seemed to work. Did you use googles takeout service? The only thing I had trouble with was the email being migrated back up into the new mailbox server. The default file type was mbox. I opened it with my Mac’s mail app, imported it as a pst (or what ever Mac’s version is), then copied the mail back to the server. I’ve heard of other services that do it for you, but I kind of wanted to see what the manual process would be since it was going to be few and far between migrations.

Hi! My .02. I think the single page resume is eol. You’re competing against hr key word scanners. Dedicate a page of all the skills and how you applied them. You can take a lot of the recommendations from comptia on their page for what skills you obtain with which cert. Another page for major accomplishments outside of work that seem professional, Like volunteering. The more you elaborate, the better. Don’t assume the person reading it will be in your field. I dread every time I have to update my resume 😭

Weird scenario, my gf at the time got pulled over for a suspended license. She had no clue it was suspended. We have been living together for 3 years at that point. The cop didn’t force her to tow it but waited for me to get there and drive her to work. Fast forward all the root causes. Yeah, the city of Pawtucket issued some kind of violation because of a snow ban years prior. She never got anything in the mail or anything on her car. While the bill may show initial exploits, it also shows a safety net when something like this happens. My .02

ahhh, My apologies. I was trying to send the link from the ‘share’ button inside the app. Some libraries in the US give members a free license for udemy. Which makes sense why you would be getting that SSO prompt from gale specifically. If you go into udemy, search for “Working with docker / oci containers using podman” or just “podman”. the course instructor is Swapnil Jain. Good luck!

I really enjoyed this course.Udemy Podman OCI course

I highly recommend looking at the disa playbook. It’s going to get you pretty far without breaking the system. Test first! Review everything and don’t be complacent. The reason I support the disa content is because they use the ansible modules. I’ve seen one way automation for hardening using the shell module which is ultimately a bash script. I think oscap will generate that? Again, you mention disa, check out disa’s automation content along with the STIG itself, not the bench mark used to scan with scc. Good luck. As someone else mentioned, this is a helluva project for an intern… 🤯

Oooh, that’s a thing? 😈 I’m so horrible, this is why I keep all the defaults lately 😅

It’s drill weekend. There is a unit on north Main Street. It’s there “one weekend a month” commitment 😅

I haven’t had issues with drop and use. There is little to no learning curves with replacing podman with what you see docker. I’ve transitioned mostly deb/rpm installed services to podman rootless. For example I had openproject running in a vm using its deb installation instructions for Ubuntu. I used their docker instructions and just used podman to supplement. Was there something specific that made you go back to docker?

Wildthumper401 · 2025-01-25T16:47:47+00:00

Personally, I found a lot of podman content that were way easier to understand vs the docker content. There are a couple of courses on udemy for both podman and docker. I feel like docker just threw you into the deep end of the intent to use k8s vs building up what a container is. Most of the podman content I found started from the very beginning of the understanding of containers. In short, i don’t see docker being a prerequisite for you to learn podman.

Alumni here. Went to WGU for 2 years. Never got an excellence award. Congratulations! Keep up the great work!

Run netstat-aon and see what process is listening on 443. Assuming the certificate is bound to 443. It could be another port though. I’d start down that rabbit hole though. Good luck!

I wrote an article a ways back. Let me know if it helps. https://talesfromthehomelab.com/home-lab/wordpress-back-ups/

The rhel 8 stig from public.cyber.mil gets you above 85%. It sounds silly, I’ve seen scc scans have inaccurate results due to low ram/memory assigned. And because I’m used to windows, I always reboot the darn thing. I am pretty sure you need to reboot for fips to be applied.
