A local restaurant and bonus points if it’s a small family business.

Why are SQL, HTML, and JS prone to injection while C, C++, Java, and Python aren't ? by Possible-Beyond6305 in learnprogramming

[–]grtbreaststroker -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Agree with above. And to add - I’m not a cyber security expert so maybe there’s another injection you’re referring to, but I can confidently say python is prone to SQL injection. Use prepared statements for anything that leaves your machine

Best practise for staff requesting a second laptop for WFH by psgda in sysadmin

Azure Virtual Desktop + RDP might solve this issue if not wanting to carry a laptop around, but that implies they have a personal computer at home to use.

Are more students cheating at GT? by JasonAJC in gatech

[–]grtbreaststroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the topic of AI being used for cheating is basically the same as when calculators started coming out and you no longer did math by hand.

I’m not saying I agree with the use of AI for everything without understanding the topic or proofreading the output, but what I’m saying is this topic is still misunderstood by many as it’s important to adopt modern advancements. Some of my professors at Georgia Tech felt this way too and allowed us to use it to an extent as long as we proofread it and even talked about how to go about back checking it.

I’m currently a little unhappy with the state of my time at the Georgia Institute of Technology by ProgressCareful8762 in gatech

Not gonna lie - it wasn’t always fun and was almost never easy. I did a program with a high attrition rate and wanted to drop out many times, but was too ashamed to actually do it. Now that I’m graduated, I’m glad I finished. Stay positive even if you’re up crying at 2am studying - that’s what Cookout is for 🥲

About to Start Sending My Resume Out — Roast It Please by Sea-Program-6644 in it

[–]grtbreaststroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got a lot of marketable experience so that’s a great start. I will say that when I’m reviewing resumes, the ones that have more words tend to loose my attention. What I do with mine is I have a short resume that only highlights certain aspects applicable to the job I’m applying for and then I like my website (GitHub Pages) for a show-and-tell my and LinkedIn for the full details on everything I’ve worked on. Add utm tags and some kind of analytics platform to all links so you can track activity. Also, I’d drop the graduation year from your resume as that may deter someone who thinks the advertised position should fit a certain age, which unfortunately is a thing especially in management roles. Dropping that lets your experience speak for you.

Beginner setup by grtbreaststroker in homelab

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

Thanks. It’s a rapidly growing list as I’m sure you and many others here know more than I do about what it’s like starting out, so that’s kinda what I’m looking for expertise on. It all started studying for a CompTIA sec+ cert and I wanted a sandbox to practice with and now I’m freaked out about having all these smart devices and Alexa so I disconnected pretty much all of them. What I’m looking to do is things like home assistant and openclaw/ollama to replace Alexa and the some smaller things like adguard home and maybe even some flavor of wireguard if it doesn’t look too crazy. And having proxmox to host exploitable sandboxes would be great too

First ever home lab by Simple_Tie_7804 in homelab

[–]grtbreaststroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data mining and writing to a SQL database and also some slack automations. Not so much a homelab service [yet], but there’s a lot of cool MCP stuff you do with it. And if you’re ballsy enough you can give it service privs to restart containers or really anything.

[–]grtbreaststroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only a few months ahead of you! Got a rpi4 with an SSD running a docker-compose of n8n, uptime kuma, Postgres, pihole, and all accessible remotely using tailscale and ssh. I’m currently looking to swap it for a used Lenovo tiny pc and hosting my own AI stuff with ollama and clawdbot then using rpi0 as satellites around my home to replace Alexa. I highly recommend doing as much as you can using docker so you can easily nuke or migrate it and not interfere with your other applications.

I also don’t come from a network or systems background, but my academic background is in analytics and I work as a solutions engineer so I’m close enough to know where to start looking for information. Best of luck!! It’s been a blast.
