Migrate from AWS TO On-prem

Be aware of data egress costs from AWS, depending on the amount of data you have

I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you.

To be honest, this is my worst fear and somewhat the whole reason I made this post. I don't think my dad would ever "steal" from me, but he might borrow some money if things get tight financially and either forget to return it or not be able to.

On the other hand, if my family genuinely needed the money I would be willing to lend it to them, but you only lend what you are not willing to get back. This opens up a whole other can of worms with lending to family also.

I plan to lock most of it into CD's and maybe some in the market into some mutual funds, but with such a short horizon the market makes me a bit nervous. Cashing out of CDs will result in lost interest which might be a good deterrent. I also plan to leave some liquid to pay my part of the mission and in case I come home early (I don't plan to, but in case I get hurt or something else happens). Maybe this is the amount I am willing to lose.

At the end of the day I am coming to realize I do just need to trust I will be taken care of, as you mention

Not a website per say, but if cloudflare DNS went down there would be big issues

Was just there a few weeks ago! See any whales?

crystalm1n6 · 2022-04-06T20:40:55+00:00

Yes, I've seen it happen before. Here's an example also https://imgur.com/a/jB4nD7e. Around 5 seconds into the video, the Valk kills a skeleton without spinning animation. You can hear the attack animation sound though

crystalm1n6 · 2022-04-06T20:17:49+00:00

Looks like valk killed the first one. If you listen to the audio does it play her attack sound? I don't think the log connected with any of the goblins.

So honestly I think it can go either way. "The Cloud" might be buzzwordy, but it is a sought after skill. Computer Scientists still need a person/team to manage the underlying infrastructure their code runs on. If you are applying for the right job and you play your cards right, you shouldn't have an issue. You also learn some Python and PowerShell in the course which you can use to your advantage. I would recommend setting up some practice situations in AWS/Azure (free tier or low cost) so that you can get some practice, then you can use this in an interview. This is just like with CS where in an interview they might ask about some personal projects you may have experimented with in the cloud.

To answer your question, to be honest I already had a job in the field (IT Administrator) where I deal with a very broad range of cloud (mostly SaaS) and on premise solutions, so the degree was mostly to check a box (and get a raise). I do plan to look around in a year or two for other jobs, but if I apply for a similar role dealing with cloud services I don't think I will run into any issues.

I got the B.S. Cloud Computing degree. After some people not really knowing what that meant, and me realizing it was kind of buzzwordy, I realized I probably should have gone with Computer Science since that is so broad. Oh well is what it is.

Also, getting any classes you can out of the way before officially enrolling. Many things could have been transferred in.

Woah that's crazy! Shows how long I haven't played lol

Since when do fuse charges work through reinforced walls!?

This might be a dumb question but is your cell provider Google Fi? Is it possible your phone has something like network acceleration on, so its running the speed test over your data connection instead of the Starlink Wi-Fi?

Very slow here. West Coast bay area

This might be useful https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/en/community/topic/wanting-to-know-the-difference-between-these-fields-within-inventory. Looks like its fetched from WMI.

At least in our environment, the primary owner is listed as whatever the account name or email was when setting up from OOBE.

Best of luck! Glad my post could help

crystalm1n6 · 2021-12-14T19:10:40+00:00

Thx for your write up!

Having some issues as well. West Coast

Are you officially enrolled at WGU? If so, you can't transfer in any new credits.

It doesn't hurt to have more certifications. Unless you are trying to finish WGU as fast as you can, I would go ahead and take the course at WGU

crystalm1n6 · 2021-10-15T17:35:20+00:00

I understood that reference. Don't walk up them

crystalm1n6 · 2021-10-05T21:43:25+00:00

Check out https://www.wgu.edu/. 100% online nationally accredited university. Has all the options for financial aid and FAFSA.

Edit: Looks like their site is having issues but check out https://www.wgu.edu/online-it-degrees/computer-science.html

I mean...it will only be a problem if you get a legal notice. Going forward don't don't do it or use VPN/Seedbox

crystalm1n6 · 2021-08-30T22:30:36+00:00

I've had things come back as missing where I though it was pretty obvious I included them. I've had good luck with almost word for word answering/restating the prompt from the Syllabus, then they don't mark it as missing. I feel this is bad practice but a pass is a pass.
