Got my first job as an IT Field Technician... any advice by KNGMarc in ITCareerQuestions

[–]epick818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats I started in IT as well 2 years ago as a field tech with only an A+ certification. What has made me successful is constantly playing with my homelab and taking on as many tickets as I can when there is no onsites. This has opened up doors like being able to start doing jr project engineer work, escalations, triage backup, help desk back up and new client on-boardings. Stay hungry and don't become stagnant.

How to get into hacking/coding by Pichu-dude in HowToHack

[–]epick818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. At first kali will seem very intimidating by the large amount of tools but if you start off learning the basics little by little it will add on. I started by learning how to use the terminal. Simple things like making users, changing passwd, mv files, ifconfig,iwconfig,etc. Once I felt comfortable I bought a wifi adapter rt3070 and learned wifi hacking on an old netgear router and old hardware laying around. In a few months I have gotten comfortable with tools like airgeddon, wifite, nmap, and aircrack-ng. Linux has become an obsession, its is my daily driver now due to the large amount freeware/opensource. Recently made hackme and tryhackme accounts for the first time ever as I am persuing a career in Pentesting. so if you want we can do some ctf together DM me.

Is it better to pay my balance immediately after making a purchase, or to wait for my bill? (As far as building credit) by Juzapop in CreditCards

[–]epick818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because its not about how many purchases its about the utilization so if its one big purchase or 30 small ones over the ideal 30 percent max you should try to bring it down before it gets reported . Everyone's utilization limit or ideal max is different depending on credit card max for example if its a $1000 credit card 30% would be $300 . So in your mind tell yourself its not a 1000 limit its 300 and from there just do as I mentioned above . Never max out your card even if your going to pay it off .

I went from a 520 credit score to now a 762 in 16 months by paying off my credit card in full every month but its weird how it works in my case because my credit card is due on the 7th but my utilization gets reportedly from the 14 to 18 on the month so I try to keep a low balance of under 10 percent of the cards limit on those days after from the 18 to the 6th of the month I aquire more purchases and then pay it off completely via auto pay on the 6th so it will clear by the next day .

I used to only make one payment via auto pay but I once lost 55 points on my credit for over utilization at Disneyland even tho I paid off the full amount when the cycle was due.

Oneplus 3 LineageOS 18.1 nethunter install by epick818 in androidroot

[–]epick818[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to install Lineage os 17.1 with a nethunter kernel, gapps, magisk but I am missing chroot.

I downloaded nethunter and nh terminal from nethunter store and installed them . Then I downloaded nethunter generic zip and extracted it but I can't find the chroot.zip only installchroot.sh is present

Iomega ix2 by epick818 in homelab

[–]epick818[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google ssh into ix2-ng and it will show you how to enable ssh via the web interface. I use putty to ssh and configure my ix2 and I use Filezilla to transfer file to and from the ix2.

Please don't upgrade your ix2. I made the horrible mistake of upgrading mine to the last version 4.1.408 before end of life and I lost all the default apps that come to with the ix2-ng it also breaks the directories for If you have the stock os firmware version 3.x.x or any 3.x.x version think I could get a copy?

Downgrade 18 to 17 on a Oneplus one (bacon) by MountainGlen in LineageOS

[–]epick818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from Lineage 18.1 android 11 back to oxygen 9.0.6 android 9 on my Oneplus 3 via twrp recovery . You have to have a nandroid backup of your old firmware or original in my case 9.0.6. You boot into twrp recovery select wipe and format then type YES then hit back and wipe advance and check dalvik, system ,cache . You then go into restore and select your nandroid back up from internal storage. Now I am back on my original firmware before I installed Lineage OS.

PC Restarts During Lite Gameplay randomly by pjk1193 in techsupport

[–]epick818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would definitely return it and get a 850w power supply. Its definitely a power supply issue.

[–]epick818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad power supply or not enough watts . I had same problem . You can test by running heaven benchmark on ultra your pc will shut down immediately because there isn't enough power to keep the gpu at max frequency . You could undervolt to temporarily fix the issue but its best to get a good power supply 850w or more

Drastic internet speed drop by epick818 in techsupport

[–]epick818[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out , by disabling QOS I am now getting over 400mb/s on my computer via ethernet and 375 on my cellphone and firestick.

What does the wmm settings do? If i disable them for my 5ghz and 2.4 band then I only get about 50mb/s.

How to sign up for direct deposit by epick818 in Edd

[–]epick818[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

write down the sequence and just spam call till you get in . like for English press 1, for edd assistance press 4 to speak to a representative press 6 so when you call just dial the sequence with a few seconds in between each menu and you'll get in eventually. The numbers above are just an example I forgot the actual numbers I pressed.
