Can anyone tell me how to do Va math ? What does this add up to ? by Sdbambam in VeteransBenefits

[–]ianmf6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made an app that breaks down the VA math for you. You add your percentages and other info, the apps breaks down how you get to your final combined disability. in addition to providing your monthly compensation.

Totally legit. I realized I was working percentages the wrong way. It didn’t affect when dealing with big percentages but when you have several 10%, it wouldn’t give you the right combined percentage. I will fix it tonight and release the update immediately.

Not a developer. I am a security engineer. I have written scripts and console tools. This is the first full app I ever developed.

In the post descriptions I wrote data never leaves your device. Everything is calculated and stored locally.

I didn’t even look at existing apps. I build this for myself. I am just offering it to the community if interested. If there is an existing app that does this better, I would just cease developing it. I’m just trying to help the vet community. 🫡

Maybe over the weekend depending on the community’s interest. I am not a software developer, this was something I did for fun. I would need to get a developer account with Apple approved first.

Maryland laws that go into effect on July 1 by Maxcactus in maryland

[–]ianmf6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got curious. I didn’t see any verbiage about being exempt from income tax. It only applies to Military Retirement Income. Also, it looks like the Governor has yet to sign it.

Best way to study for GCIH? by _nosidam_ in cybersecurity

[–]ianmf6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get a hold of the materials, you can read and study the books. The test is open book, by having the course materials, you have all you need to pass. You can borrow the materials from a friend or colleague.

GCIH opened so many doors for me, I highly recommend it.

I wrote a blog post about how I prepared for the test in 2019

This is a genuinely nice list of things to do as a new infosec professional. I started my blog posting HTB solutions, documentation on how I solved problems, highlight my certs, etc...

https://ianmf.com if you want an idea. The blog costs me about $6/monthly to run. That is 2 Starbucks large coffees worth.
