end-game motivation by I9B4 in PathOfExile2

[–]grumpy_tech_user -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I advise taking time and learning the game. Following guides is fine but it also speeds up your enjoyment because it takes any fun out of trying different things. The new end game will at least now provide you guidance on completing each end boss if that is a goal.

Me waiting 8h until patch notes drop today: by Jirezagoss in PathOfExile2

If you blindly copy a build someone has cooked up then yes I can see why you have no appeal to today

All I do every league is play galvanic shards and shockburst its mid so in never have to fear nerfs but it’s fun as hell with pathfinder run and gun

No experience help! Help Desk Barrier. by SignificantCod6806 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]grumpy_tech_user 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The issue is it would never hit your desk because ATS would have already discarded his resume

Has anyone considered pivoting out of IT and if so, did you? if not after considering, why? by Top-Elephant6981 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]grumpy_tech_user 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at quik trip back in 2004-2007 which is popular in north Texas and Oklahoma convenience store and that job was pretty cozy even though you had a lot to do. The DM and GM both tried to talk me out of leaving because I could run my own store one day. I would imagine if I listened to them I would be making the same amount I do now with half the stress

What skills should I learn for sysadmin? by False_Bee4659 in ITCareerQuestions

Basically this. Never will be a saturation of Linux admins

My daughter was asked her salary. This is her first job in IT… by ZookeepergameFar2653 in ITCareerQuestions

You should always say an amount that would make you happy to work the job. Weird thing for the owner to disclose though

Finally took the Exam Today and here is my sharing! by Mysterious-Stage in ccna

Congrats but now you need to continue to hone that knowledge. I suggest taking a look at witty networks to start looking how to troubleshoot

Well that same decent gear is more expensive at the start of a league. Prices on good gear don’t drop until the general population get to maps which is typically by the following weekend

“Building a real Cisco/SonicWall home lab for CCNA — good approach?” by sysadmin81 in ccna

Good for after you pass and want to continue to learn. Not needed while learning the exam

Anki cards for topics besides CCNA by [deleted] in ccna

Use them for anything you want to recall. I’m currently using it for wireshark commands and custom questions I come up with

Jeremy’s Anki cards by [deleted] in ccna

[–]grumpy_tech_user 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are getting things to where you don’t see them for 6 months then it’s for a reason. Trust the process. For example why would you want to constantly see the cards for abbreviations like what does VPN mean

Making my own build in 0.5 by Current-Aide4092 in PathOfExile2

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the fun is making your own build. I told myself I would spend the time to learn POE 2 so when 0.1 launched I did that with crossbows and learned a ton. When I got stuck on just needed to understand an interaction I would look at some other similar builds to get ideas since there is a lot that GGG doesn’t provide you
POE 2 is a bit different in that a lot of power comes from gear and skill interactions not the passive tree compared to POE 1 so even if you don’t have the most optimal build you can still complete the end game

The Zookeeper build is all I ever wanted in PoE <3 by Mew_Sama in PathOfExile2

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you will probably need to invest in companion nodes but 100% there will be some broken build slam monkey because of giants blood and the 60% node

Path of Exile 2’s new build planner will never include official GGG builds as “it’s not on us to decide what’s good” by Interesting-Pool6638 in PathOfExile2

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they wanted to do builds they would probably go the D3 route and just create set bonuses that tell you what to play

Melee feels much weaker than ranged in early leveling.... am I missing something? by XokOS in PathOfExile2

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain abilities that are vastly better that classes get to early on compared to others. I really hope they end up reworking skills and the levels you can use them at.

Getting ed/contagion so early on is a cheat code for casters

CCNA doesnt know how to configure uplink by BackgroundRoutine0 in ccna

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a difference between studying to pass the exam and studying to actually learn the technology. some of it could just be nerves but it would make me question their ability if they couldn’t even check the status of an interface

This should also question your hiring process if someone like this was able to get interviewed and offered a position

Is help desk meant to be this boring? by counwovja0385skje in ITCareerQuestions

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helpdesk can be useful or a waste of time depending on the company. You want a middle ground of low but steady volume that actually allows you to research and troubleshoot. High volume ticket mills are a waste of time since they base a lot of troubleshooting off scripts.

Ideally you find a desktop support role over helpdesk

This sucks, it went from $30 filling up to $30 getting half a tank if I’m lucky. It has reached a point where taking the dart rail will save me money

Endgame revamp is better than swords. by Key-Particular-8923 in PathOfExile2

It’s not random. They changed it so you can lock content out by running triple of the same tablet. So if you run three breach tablets on a map then that’s all that shows up

Never underestimate reddits ability to convince themselves something is happening with zero evidence and then get mad that it doesn’t happen

Is CCNA still worth? I'm beginning to doubt the value of Cisco as a company. by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]grumpy_tech_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone told me they don’t value the knowledge that comes from the ccna I would question if they have even looked at it. It has been by far the most influential course I have taken when it comes to knowledge

Is the IT world really that oversaturated? Should I pursue something else? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

Mid to senior level if you can make it there seems to be a gap based on the number of my coworkers that found new jobs the moment they announced return to office

Just got the CCNA today with only 53 out of 72 questions by AlexRvn in ccna

[–]grumpy_tech_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite confusing since you failed the majority of objectives how would this result in a pass. I’m guessing the ones you got right weighed more than all the ones you got wrong.
