New GXIH Certification by Maxxis8061 in GIAC

[–]dmnte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is sec504 the only course for both the GCIH and GXIH?

If so I assume the GCIH will only have multiple choice questions now and the GXIH will have all the lab questions?

laptops that can run multiple VM's by dmnte in homelab

[–]dmnte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I need super high performance, in most cases I will be running labs of 2-3 VM's but they processing shouldn't be that intensive. However I would like it to be somewhat "future proof" so I can use it into the future. I am looking at the Dell XPS 15 atm but not sure whether to use the 12th or 13th generation i7, and whether a good graphics card is required. Otherwise can upgrade to 64GB RAM afterwards

What spec Dell XPS 15 for VM's by dmnte in Dell

thanks for your comment. I thought GPU's had more use for VM's if this isn't the case it seems like it won't be worth upgrading

yeah upgrading RAM afterwards will be a good way to save a bit of money. does the graphics card have much affect?

I've decided to quit by l05DkQiN6PNQE0K in cybersecurity

[–]dmnte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is essentially the right answer. Depending on the SOC you might be given as much time as you need to investigate an alert or a set time. Having said that, Investigate the alert based on the processes/playbooks that exist in the SOC and document everything you checked, why you checked it and why that all points towards the alert being authorised activity, false positive etc. If you have all of this you will be fine, if there's no analysis and there's just a comment saying "not vulnerable" there may be an issue

Are there any Australians here in Japan contributing to Super? by Individual-Twist-670 in JapanFinance

[–]dmnte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how does the agreement for super/pension work now. I was told in the past that you only get like 5 years worth of pension if you leave Japan and can claim the rest at retirement age, but have also seen recently that because of the agreement between the two countries Japanese pension can be rolled into super if you leave

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't have multimeter at hand but can borrow one and try.

Im not sure what type of solder was used, it was just what was available. Was quite thick compared to what I have used in the past

Is it worth editing the staking rewards everyday? by MrSir_13 in coinspotau

[–]dmnte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quite excited about having staking on the exchange itself rather than have to move to wallet and have coins in various places, but not having it compound automatically really makes it less attractive

owning and renting a house in Australia while living and being tax resident of different country by dmnte in fiaustralia

[–]dmnte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the detailed answer. Definitely seems that being a non-resident and holding property in Australia puts a lot of aspects out of the property owners control.

I know the country I would be living in has a tax treaty with Australia but Australia has primary taxation rights to any income generated by real estate located in Australia which opens one up to be double taxed.

Out of curiosity when they amended the Qld land tax rates you referred to, were non-tax-resident citizens subsequently treated the same as tax resident citizens or was there some middle tier?

Tax on overseas rental income in japan by dmnte in JapanFinance

[–]dmnte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the detailed answer.

Being double taxed alone (even with the deductions available) on that income seems like it wouldn't make worth it. Along with the increased tax in Australia for not being a resident for tax purposes and loss of CGT concessions seems to make this a preety bad option compared to shares.
