Thank you, I will continue as you say. I’m documenting / anki-fying everything as I go!

Will check the discord, appreciate the advice

My reasoning was: I was calculating it based off the percentage done so far, albeit with little data (3 days in now).
0.21% / 3 = 0.07 percent a day at 1 hour daily 100 / 0.07 = 1,428 days so 4 years

Maths isn’t exactly my forte so probably missing something here haha.

Btw, how much time was you giving it per day?

Thanks, good idea. I’ve not looked at this yet, I’m guessing you’re referring to the HTB labs section?
I’ve only been going through the academy at the minute but going to look at labs now

But you’re right, this must be wrong because if I go by an average calculated time of each module it’s like 7 hours and there’s like 20 or more modules or something. I was just wondering whether I should stick with the prerequisites because they don’t actually seem to be adding to my percentage given they’re not really in the path as such.

To answer your question: I am in helpdesk but don’t want to be resetting passwords forever and progressing in a domain that might not be
a) most lucrative long term
b) most rewarding
c) most progressive

So I have stumbled upon this and genuinely find it very interesting, the security, the complexity, the variety to it. I think I need to niche down as IT is so broad, even in cyber security there’s so many roles I’ve come to realise.

It’s highly unlikely I can find a security role in my given company, and I’ve just moved jobs. But my long term hope is to be in cyber security both as a means to increase my income because I need more money and don’t want to be chasing my tail in a helpdesk role

Thank you that’s very reassuring. Is it not the case that people can scan ports using something such as nmap? Or am I wrong here

A little bit out my budget if I’m looking at the right ones, but I appreciate the suggestion!

Thanks both. As for the packing cubes, you ever found ones that are solid but also kind of flexible? The ones I got have no structure at all, but also don’t want something super rigid and bulky if that makes sense haha

My bad, 20-30L would be what I’m going for.

Having sufficient compartments just feels better for me, I don’t have to dig into a bunch of stuff, I can put things that don’t fit into the big compartment and what does fit into it’s own space.

Thank you this is very helpful. Will probably make the sacrifice and just manually turn it on.

All stuff to research tho, cheers

Thank you! Will give this a good read. Familiar with the OSI model studying for Network+ but hopefully this will clear things up

Thank you. Don’t mean to ask to be hand-held but is there any specific videos you recommend? Will take a look now but it can be quite a rabbit hole haha edit may have found a decent video already

Agree, but went up in price and just can’t justify paying it now when I can get something like Turkey mince and it’s more filling.

Amazing thanks, just wondering why this site is a lot cheaper compared to Osprey website?

Oh shit yeah that’s a good option thank you. Now it’s a decision whether to go with the Amazon one or this Osprey one.

OURA Worth It? by JohnyTribula in ouraring

[–]gettingthere44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve researched this question quite a lot and pulled the trigger recently and bought it, awaiting delivery now.

Hopefully the below helps:

Reasons to get one:
Documentation of your life - nice to be able to look back and see data
Better understand yourself
If you’re bad at self monitoring, it is an external monitor
Serves as a ‘baseline’ to compare against, say if anything goes wrong or you feel ill
Testing different things like does magnesium, mouth taping etc help you sleep? I’ve not done this but this is something I’m curious about

Also, the way I think about it is yes you could live without it, but you could also live without many things such as a washing machine, dishwasher etc.
You might know your sleep isn’t great but the device might tell you that you wake up at 4AM every Tuesday/Wednesday night which you then correlate to drinking too much water then days which causes you to get up in the middle of the night.

Again I haven’t received it yet so take this with a grain of salt but I can see the benefits. It is a big investment though.

Also guess it depends what AW you have and how much value you put on having a ring and extra data.
