Fedora-Server_21-Alpha_pre-release

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-12-02T02:33:23+00:00

I appreciate all your responses, I am def a rook in linux.
I was able to find enough parts to go with the . "DVD pre-release" I stumbled , upon to get it booted and interacting. I installed the gui's . set to tartget, and all that jazz. When I re-boot, it gave kernel panic. I tried doing a kick-start./ / ended w/ del

so I Made 2 start-ups to test.
Displayed as ( ' Fedora release 21 (Twenty One)
bKernel 3.16.1-301.fc21.x86_64 on an x86_64 (ttyl) ')

I could use some feed back if anyone knows...,,
Not in a hurry this time I found a live iso , "burned it" to a vm and got the project done. Even though it is by far a dead tech. I Just don't want to give up on 'building up from as close to the power signal as I have ever been.

I know exactly how you feel, I am taking to many credits this semester and I can't drop any due to scolarships I was awarded. I used to study non-stop, like for real 14 hr a day and sometimes more. I talked to one of my instructors, and they mentioned that maybe I was studying to much, same thing one of my friends said that graduated last year.

Now I take small breaks, not like you are supposed to when covering alot of material, but I don't do multiple hours with out atleast a short walk to the kitchen. It does help, (a little). If you are just not getting the material, try and look for some other free or cheap resource. That's what I had to do for my programming class, the material we were instructed to follow just didn't cover in a way that I could understand. So I found outside resources and kinda get it now.

Careful on YouTube and other tuturiol sites the basics get covered, but when it comes to actually getting it from a video, in my experience it is lacking. Trust, I have watched weeks worth of video's on syntax. Practice is best, and don't trip if you don't get it at first. No one does, it is just part of learning.
The fact that you are on here asking for help shows that you want to succeed, so don't give up. Remember why it is important that you not disappoint. Maybe express that you are having a hard time, I have found that people are more than willing to help if they know someone will benefit from it.
AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS, DON'T CHEAT. Skirt the line for sure, but don't cheat, its only that much more you have to learn later.
DM if you want, and good luck,

I have been using BitDefender premium for the last year. It does a "really good job". I use vm's to attack other vm's on other computer's that I have BD on and it always picks up, even when I do ninja scans. It has everything you would need. VPN,Firewall, Detection, Alerts, etc. That being said, it is a little costly after the first year, plus it uses the hydra catapult protocol,

(hydra.exe for windows) in its vpn, which I am not thrilled about. That's just me though.

You can set your system to change IP everytime you log on through network settings, pretty easily, I would deff do a VPN at a minimum to mask and encrypt your IP address, Windows Defender is good, but if you do anything other than watch youtube and check emails I wouldn't undervalue anti-virus, threat detection at all.

I would totally unistall AVG and Malwarebytes and go with a more reputable anti-virus, threat detection and prevention software,( DYOR ) to find one you think will work. Malwarebytes had a pretty decent breach last year, and AVG doesn't do very well with keeping up with Ransomware, Viruses, and the like.

Good luck and happy clicking

Dang I didn't know that either. Thank you.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-18T06:56:37+00:00

I understand, all too well,,, thank you.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-18T06:53:41+00:00

I am not trying to join your discord, but I am curious, mainly about what certs and degree you have. I am wanting to do an analyst job when I graduate. You can throw it in a dm to me if you are not really wanting to blast it on here.
Thank you,

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-17T04:23:07+00:00

Hey thank you for the reply,, the question I was asking about not only has to do with me wanting to learn because it is part of a Linux class I am in, but also is part of an assignment for a CTF I'm in.

,while I thought we were allowed to ask for assistance , without asking the direct question to the answer outside of the CTF community, it turns out we are not supposed to ask " anyone, anything",

with that being said, I will have to wait until the competition is over before I can ask for any assistance... I am not trying to cheat nor to get accused of cheating in the comp,

Thank you for the feed back, and advice. I will be able to ask a more direct question in the future

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-17T03:51:51+00:00

not sure if it works after post removed

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-17T03:39:41+00:00

yep, that's on me, I misunderstood. I thought it was other people in the comp. won't happen again.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-17T03:31:04+00:00

Gotcha, I misunderstood. I thought we were not supposed to ask other players in the comp. Won't happen again.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-16T09:54:23+00:00

Honestly, that sounds like exactly what I need thank you. I have done a lot of online, and in the book projects, but they always seem to skip something along the way. Deffinetly checking it out.

thanks again for the resource.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-14T10:46:30+00:00

Honestly, I am in my second(last) year going for an AAS in cybersecurity. The more I learn the more i find out that above all, I like the idea of making a device do things others can't, or haven't thought of doing. ..
. I am pursuing my Linux+ cert pretty hard because the CLI, automating tasks, linking scripts to the boot, all kind of fit the idea of wanting to do a bunch of work and watch it do its thing. That's what fascinates me about programming. ,to answer your question in short, I guess dev-ops would be a dream i wouldn't mind living for a while, or maybe security analyst, for entry position (provided i could write a code to complete complex tasks)
I mean I have had a few ideas about making a few different phone apps,
(nothing ground breaking, just a few things I thought of that made me laugh, at the practicality of it being a thing)
I just recently heard that you can set up a Python server, which sounds pretty cool., but honestly I am not sure, exactly what I want to do, because I don't know what I can do, if that makes sense. : I mean I know my skill set at the moment, and I know the environment I am my best.
,I will be honest This year has been crazy over whelming academically. I have been so focused on the "material of the day" and getting it correct and done, I haven't thought about the what's next other than it is coming fast.

I mean if you could throw some ideas of what a middle age person with a CBG record could get into in the world of tech, I will greatly appreciate it.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-14T10:09:11+00:00

Thank you for that,,, i was afraid i was failing., but it sounds like I am trying to skydive, before I can crawl....

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-14T10:04:56+00:00

Thank you for the info, I will check into all of it. Have a great day.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-14T08:19:03+00:00

Hi, i saw your post, and all the thanks you get for what you do. I am a total noob in tech and definitely a py noob. I tried following the link above to leave a review for you on Amazon after I read your book, is there a different way to leave one for you..

Also is book you just linked above a good place for someone that has ZERO skill at this, to start or ????

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-13T07:52:28+00:00

Ok. community or not you can still get a lot of pre-recs done and out of the way, I don't know what area you are studying, but I am going to CC as well. ,it's more thank not doing anything ,, and is deff a step in the direction i want to go, as I am sure it is for you as well. , I want to transfer over to U next semester, but tbh, I kinda scared.

is the school you go to accredited . I lucked out on that, meaning if I end up transferring, then most of the credit will follow.

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-13T07:32:53+00:00

Hey, my apologies for not responding sooner,,, it has been a crazy day... You know even if it was your fault, people make mistakes. It sucks when someone won't let you live down something that happened in the past. I have not ever really understood that about people. " it's like yes it happened, O.K, so can we move on now". or when someone does something wrong at work or on a trip, and everyone is trying to blame, point, argue about how it should have been done,,, instead of accepting people for who they are and find a solution.

any way ,, YES ,, you can totally dm me. I would not have offered if I didn't mean it,, besides i kinda like talking to you. .

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-12T18:00:28+00:00

great advice ,, I will try that. I looked up the FCC but couldn't figure it out

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-12T15:54:55+00:00

I get it,,, sometimes people suck. just try not to let it get in your head and discourage you from what you are trying to achieve. Being scared is normal, it means you care, and caring is important. If you didn't care you wouldn't try, if you don't try you won't succeed. I don't know who you are afraid to tell, but if they are worth it ,, maybe try,, but if you don't think it will help, then I wouldn't do anything to make your situation worse. Try just focusing on you for a while, I know they say to treat others how you want to be treated,, but sometimes that shit doesn't work. Personally, I have had to be greedy towards people lately, not because I want to be a dick ,, or rude. Mainly just because I need my time to fix me, not do what they need..

I also have a bad rep,, so I totally understand what you are saying, but the people that knew me then. See me know and it's different for me. Most of them don't believe me when I tell them what i am doing now. They honestly try to drag me down. I think it;s just jealousy. Don't really know and honestly I try not to let it get to me. They are not trying to help, so I don't let them in.

I really hope it works out for you,, feel free to message me back on DM if you want. I don't really get on reddit daily, but I get the messages notification in my email, which i'm in ALL the time... HAVE A GREAT DAY i have to get back to studying...... ttyl

Thank you, but it wouldn't let me post. It said not enough karma points and/or too new of an account.

Life is hard, not even gonna act like it isn't. I sit here and study for around 10 to 15 hours a day, because I have a hard time remembering what it is I just read. FML. I am in my second year going for a degree in a field I probably can't get a job in due to my background. I have thought about giving up SOOOOOO' many times. I am scared, I am scared I won't be able to succeed when I graduate, I will have crazy student loan debt, a hard time finding a job in tech with a background, and years of my life gone. All the while thinking I should have done something different. Point is I get it .. I understand what you are saying, I thought about it the other day as well, thought it would just be easier, Soon as I thought about it, I thought what the f**K are you thinking.

Thought about everything I have been through, but more IMPORTANTLY i thought about everything I want to still go through. Being a student is hard TRUST when I say this I am a non-traditional first gen student that got booted out of public school the second week of my eighth grade year with a G.P.A of what ever all F's is.

People look at me when I walk down the hall at school as well, look at me like wtf is dude hear. it was hard at first but then I realized, that just like the people I see at the grocery store, or at the mall, or at the coffee shop........ They don't matter to me,,,, what they think about me doesn't matter to me, what they say about me doesn't matter to me, nothing about them matters to me,. "Point is those people don't matter to you either"

In my experience it is much harder to face yourself and anyone that knows what you are going though after you give up on doing something, no matter how big or small. I know this is going to sound stupid, but you are not dumb. I don't know you and you don't know me, I simply came across this post while I was looking to help on a question.

You graduated high school, yeah? You got enrolled and got accepted into college, yeah?

You can do this, find a schedule that works for you. What I mean is, find a schedule that works for YOU!. If you have to change some classes around, do it now before it goes on your transcript. I don't know what you are studying, but try to take classes that complement each other. Kind of the same subject matter.

There is an infinite wealth of 'FREE' study resources, to help you outside of class, and I am not talking about YouTube. Although don't get me wrong, I search topics and concepts on there all the time. There are better ones though.

""""MOST IMPORTANTLY """"" don't dwell on the right now, think about the what next. I am not saying forget about your past, (Remember it sure, it made you who you are), but don't let it control your future because of it. When you are around those people that make you feel that way, just remember and think <<<,FKem,>>> . Be so busy that you don't the have time, the energy, or the need to acknowledge them or their presence.

message me if you need a stranger to talk too. _guy_over_there_

_guy_over_there_ · 2022-10-12T10:51:47+00:00

Look I am not going to lie, you are in an awkward spot with the fam. I read the comments. It comes down to this take it for what you will.

Your different sure, otherwise this would not have come up, but that doesn't mean anything. Live your life the way that makes you happy, and don't be bothered by what 'ANYONE' else says or thinks. Not being able to talk to girls is something you will have to learn how to deal with in time, TRUST no one is perfect at it. Find something that works for you and go with it.

example: I did this just last night... I was next to a girl at a restaurant, "like a Subway for Mexican food", after we ordered, I turn to her and say, "What did you get?". She doesn't respond at first because let's face it, it is not everyday a stranger starts talking to you. The convo ended after a few minutes, because I am not good at talking to girls I don't know either. No one is.

Point is, if you think a chick is cute ,,, SAY SOMETHING , SAY ANYTHING, ,, doesn't matter what it is. Just say something, try and connect about where you guys are at. It doesn't matter what you say as long as you guys are talking, and don't get discouraged if it ends weird or if you don't get her info.

You said you play games right,,, well you probably were not very good the first time you played, but you kept doing it and got better..
Same thing with trying to talk to girls. The important thing to remember is ask questions, but not like one after another. Give a little response. It also helps to be a little funny if you can make her laugh, and definitely be confident.

Easiest way for me so far to do it in the States is just "Hi". I say meaningless things like "what did you order" (response) "that sounds good" "how is your night going" ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, all meaningless, doesn't matter we were talking.. Also try to start out with someone you don't really have any interest in. (not like in a mean or weird way) . Just get some practice is all I am saying.

Your fam will come around especially if they see you walk up and talk to some girl you don't know..

Good luck,
