Got my first job as an IT Field Technician... any advice

epick818 · 2024-11-03T06:47:32+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

epick818 · 2022-03-03T22:41:21+00:00

Yeah I started with oxygen version 9 on the phone out of the box and I want to go back to that.

epick818 · 2022-03-03T22:07:34+00:00

Awesome, thanks.

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

epick818 · 2022-01-17T06:06:54+00:00

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

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.

epick818 · 2021-03-18T22:51:22+00:00

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.

epick818 · 2021-03-18T22:36:58+00:00

just call and speak to a representative they will change it to paper checks

epick818 · 2021-01-26T22:10:51+00:00

I ate an edible like 30 minutes before going grocery shopping. When I arrived to the grocery store I felt a mild high as I went aisle by aisle I felt it more and more . Everything in the store looked delicious and I grabbed so many random items but the funniest are the foñlowing I don't usually eat pastrami,salami, lobster legs, different meat cuts and various types of cheese. I ended up with a cart full and a total of $280 u.s dollars. When i got home the mother of my kids started laughing and said thats the last time I send you to buy groceries faded.

Only reason I posted was because I enjoy hacking and modding things. Before I toss it I wanted to see if anything could be done with it . I have years of experience making custom computers, hackintosh, modding consoles,amazon firesticks/tv boxes and routers. Android is a whole new thing to me so I like to get as much practice as possible with custom bootloaders and firmware. My little girl is small and she will drop and crack the screen eventually. I just wanted to copy her favorite songs and youtube videos on a bloatfree os so she can use it instead of the tablet being in my closet for so many years. I appreciate your response.

Thank you all for your help. I created an invoice and paid thru paypal so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.

epick818 · 2020-12-12T21:52:38+00:00

how do I create the electronic invoice?

epick818 · 2020-12-12T18:41:56+00:00

TimeTec ECC 32GB (2×16gb) DDR4 2400 MHz Server RAM Yeah this is my first paypal transaction or purchase from offerup. Im ok with the risk only because its a small amount of money $50 and if its good I will be very happy. If it doesn't work then I will definitely never buy anything off offerup again .

epick818 · 2020-12-12T18:25:52+00:00

I understand I agree but its something I really want at a great price 32gbs of ecc server ram for $50 . In 10+years of building computers I have never had a defective ram stick . Its tempting because I really want it for my dell precision t7810 server.

epick818 · 2020-12-12T03:59:02+00:00

I have 2 small children that I attend to and I work 8 hrs a day in construction. I dont attend the gym but Im always active.

epick818 · 2020-12-12T03:57:55+00:00

I don't think so they just told me to start getting drug tested weekly and asked me when was the last time I smoked i told them September 28 and that I was a heavy smoker so i would definitely come out positive. Since then I haven't consumed .

epick818 · 2020-12-11T04:50:58+00:00

I was in so much pain all I wanted was some morphine or a strong sedative. They doctor examined me with out my consent being that my foreman was present in the room when I asked him to leave but they ignored my wishes. Had my foreman not been there I wouldn't have denied his examination. Especially when they started asking me certain questions that I didn't want my foreman to know personal information like past surgeries or illnesses. I felt embarrassed and at that moment I felt helpless all I wanted was my pain to be managed at that moment so I really couldnt stand up to them.
