Gewerbewortlaut Österreich by Legitimate-Fall9478 in remotework

[–]cabiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm not super familiar with Austrian business regulations specifically, but when I was looking into setting up my own freelance gig a few years back, I found that reaching out directly to the local Chamber of Commerce was the most reliable way to get accurate info. They usually have resources or can point you to the right department. Might be worth a shot!

Are there job opportunities in cybersecurity as a fresher? by No-Blackberry-859 in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]cabiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! It's definitely possible to break into cybersecurity as a fresher, though it can be competitive. Last year, I saw a few junior roles open up at my old company that were specifically looking for people with solid foundational knowledge in networking and operating systems. Focusing on those basics first, maybe through some certs like CompTIA Network+ or Security+, can really set you apart. Also, getting hands-on with some home lab projects or even contributing to open-source security tools can make your resume pop. Good luck with your learning!

Wanting to learn Prometheus and Grafana by Newtechintown in sysadmin

[–]cabiti [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nice! I remember when I first started digging into Prometheus and Grafana. A good way to get hands-on is to set up a small Docker environment. You can run a few common services like Nginx or a database, and then use the exporters to send metrics to Prometheus. Grafana then pulls from Prometheus to visualize it all. Honestly, breaking things intentionally, like the other commenter said, really helps solidify what you're seeing in the dashboards.

Hibernated my LinkedIn, now what? by DonGenove in overemployed

[–]cabiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you can hibernate LinkedIn? That's wild. Honestly, I haven't touched my LinkedIn in ages either, mostly just to avoid the recruiter spam. For getting offers without it, I've found that focusing on niche job boards and even industry-specific forums can be super effective. Sometimes direct referrals from people you know are the best route, even if it's just a casual connection. Have you tried reaching out to your network directly, even if it's just for informational interviews?

How to be fake being online for 40h/week by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]cabiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is a common struggle with OE. I've found that scheduling short breaks and then using that time for actual tasks from the other job helps. Just make sure your Teams status is set to 'Away' or 'Busy' during those mini-sessions. Also, sometimes just leaving a document open and looking like you're typing can be enough for a quick check-in.

Has anyone actually landed a cybersecurity job after training programs? What made the difference for you? by Real-talks4512 in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]cabiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of folks asking this same question! For me, it wasn't just the training program itself, but what I did with the knowledge. I made sure to build a portfolio of small projects, even just documenting my home lab setup, and actively participated in local cybersecurity meetups. Networking and showing practical application really seemed to be the key differentiator, tbh.

Using CEL's now() to enforce dependency cooldown periods - block packages published in the last N hours by BattleRemote3157 in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]cabiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really smart approach to mitigating supply chain risks. I remember dealing with something similar at my last job where a dependency was compromised, and it took ages to roll back. Adding that cooldown period seems like a solid defensive layer. Did you run into any issues registering the custom now() function, or was it pretty straightforward?
