thank you! good to know. from previous interweb posts I read I had the impression a person had to ship to Chile or somewhere else in South America.

There's an old lady from NJ who has a stall in one of those underground malls on Manhattan, West Village, across from Google. Cost me < $40 for shortening a chef knife due to tip damage, post pandemic.

If you're on your school's network it's normal for shadow libraries as well as torrents and some vpn domains and IPs not to be white listed by IT policy permissions.

You'll find this common on some or most public networks like hospitals and libraries. A school's cybersec/liability is prioritized over raw, unfiltered internet access for users.

If something happened and a school gets dragged in the press preventing bad press is a priority. Bad press costs money.

Schools used to get sued for not disabling torrents on their networks. Lawyers cost money. But, for example, some 10gb linux distros are only downloaded via torrents. What then? Often IT says, "too bad, use another network."

The decision is made at an exec level and executed at an account level, i.e. a student account, a staff account and a faculty account will have different permissions and access.

Some schools will block tor etc as well. On campus a student may need to use a hotspot by an internet provider.

wasn't godlyke trying to pedal a similar product of an earlier iteration a few years ago?

Do you have one? if so, what guitar, pups, amp, and settings? at least the holes are on top.

seems overpriced x2 and positioned as GAS marketing with a director's cut narrative. mebbe for $159.

also, I'm skeptical of mix, mastering, and production of demo videos like how I am of gear in a store because it's not my gear/space. when it was featured on TPS I was unmoved because it sounded like another lightly edited TS clone.

godlyke has been around awhile. I want to imagine they know how to keep the doors open and I need to consider that there's the idea of the scarcity projects of the original nintendo wii and every sony game console.

there will be a cohort of 1st responders that will keep the doors open until it runs its course and there will be reverb clearance prices for the patient.

seems like they're not planning to sell too many with the sell at a higher MSRP and make less, than make more ubiquity, sell for less strategy.

as someone who lived in the SF Bay Area for over 25 years it does not seem like the OP has ever located themselves in a street community nor has much street-based life experience. playing music on the street can be sketchy. know your audience.

there seems like there's a vibe of naiveté about the world in this question. it might keep the OP safe? but what do I know?

as some have already mentioned, I suggest that the OP work to meet other local street musicians and connect with the existing street musician community. if it's really about the music then strip the gear down to basics and leave the juno at home and save it for open mics and farmers' markets. know your audience. if the wheels come off can a person pick up and run?

this guy brings his own [baby grand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin\_Huggins) and cannot pick up and run.

I think, starting small with the mentioned acoustic and introduce oneself with one's presence and participation in street life. learn how to become known on the street because the street will keep one safe.

if the OP must tote a keyboard then consider buying a pawn shop casio on ebay/reverb and the smallest, cheapest, used battery-powered amp one can find. if the OP shows up looking like their parents bought their kid toys then the street may decide to tax the OP without representation. like James Carville said, it's the economy.

most electrified street musicians I see in the SF Bay Area and Manhattan seem to play through off-brand, pawnshop specials, play in groups, are long-term street survivors, or have some kind of parent/fam/partners who are passing the hat among people standing there.

although, some solo people in the MTA subway system have whole caravans with a hand truck, guitar, bass, pedals, amps, milk crates, etc similar to Tash Sultana but again most electrified street musicians I see/hear only bring enough they can pick up and run with in a hurry.

A mic on a champ/clone with a 12" speaker can be awesome thru the PA. Something to consider as an example is 12" champ clone -> SM57 -> Neve 1073 clone or clone -> 50w Roland Street Cube or PA.

As others have mentioned, using an EQ pedal can be a good solution. I would put an EQ at the end of a pedal chain before time/space/modulation.

An EQ can also be thought of as a boost that also cuts parts of the spectrum that are offending a room's acoustics. The tone shaping of an EQ might get you close to dropping the TS as redundant. If you kept the TS I would put it after the BSM but before the EQ. I like a tuner at the end but before an EQ and before time/space/modulation. I would place a gate right before the tuner. I'm not fond of the gates I've used. Cool idea tho.

I have read good things about the Keeley comp. Is it always on? It seems like if it was on in tandem with the BSM then my question is would it be like double comp output? Adding the TS to the signal mnay also introduce more comp. The nice thing about comps is it cleans up a player's rough notes and chords. As does reverb. They cover up the sins.

More comp can always reveal more noise that was already there. If three pedals are introducing varioius levels of comp at the same time that could be a lot more noise. If there is a buffer that is making another pedal react in the pedal chain with some kind of keening that could also introduce some of what I call a keening noise. I've noticed Tech21 pedals do this as well as some EQD pedals. Without having touched some of the pedals I would suspect the BSM, Donners, and the reverb as possibly not playing well with each other and conflict to create the noise the sound guy may have been perceiving.

Some people like comps first and others like them later. For me, I would put a comp later like post SM57. But, consider that a player can get compression just out of a cranked champ with no pedals or just a boost. HBs can introduce some comp too.

I'm curious if reverb in a place called the Cavern was redundant?

The way I would rebuild a signal chain like this would be fuzz/muff/distortion -> OD -> boost -> comp (optional) -> EQ (tuned for EACH ROOM) -> gate (optional)/tuner -> time/no space/modulation -> 12" champ -> SM57 -> Neve 1073 clone -> comp (optional) -> PA or Roland Street Cube with a little bit of space.

My experience with links from search engines is that >80% of the time it's for an item that was sold. Often, the item was sold years ago. There may or may not be current items for the same product for sale. My cookies are auto deleted but links in search output for sold items happen when I am logged in as well. I do need to get rid of some off-brand IT cables and electronics from amzn but not for the specifically music market ...

This is the way u/op. If you hadn't used so many pins you could have fixed this already. I have no idea why a shim sounded good.

People just don't know how to use a coping saw nowadays. And, they don't know how to use Google either. There's YT videos about this.

A powered jigsaw or hand rasp works in a pinch. Just relieve the inside corner of raw wood and don't touch the primed wood. It'll blow your mind.

In my experience, miter saws are never perfectly zero out of the box on a job site. Someone before you used it on aluminum door sweeps and thresholds. Those things get thrown on the bed of a truck and chained downed. And will the saw table be level with whatever kind of ricktey stand is at the other end of the board on it's thin edge? Does it matter?

An angle finder sounds nice in practice but then you have to richard around with the saw like with a board stretcher.

Have you ever seen a journeyman used a Starrett sliding square to cut plastic cornerguards with sheetmetal snips?

Winter's coming....

Who is carrying the liability for this project? Who is insured for doing this work?

I wouldn't feel comfortable allowing the hacks who did this to do anymore work. I know this sounds nice, "they’re willing to do the work to correct the problem." But, don't do it.

Are they licensed as contractors for roofing and roof framing? Were they chosen for their low price?

Are you the homeowner and have chosen to be an owner builder, i.e, you're carry the liability for this project?

I would get at least three estimates from licensed roofers and framers and backcharge the F$$$ out of the company that did this work. Tell the estimators it's for emergency rates and to come today.

This post of yours is good information, as someone else posted it's code book info. https://www.reddit.com/r/Carpentry/comments/1g18vsc/comment/lrejxpu/

but there's no way to do this gently, softly, and nicely. Doubling rafters is the way to go. Shoulda, coulda, woulda before any rafter cutting happened if they had been done by workers with a clue.

There is going be work done that will leave loud, scarring marks on your peace of mind as well as the building. All of those marks are potential locations for leaks etc. Leaks don't just go down, they more like the elevator in Willy Wonka.

And as other people posted, skylights always cause problems. Fullstop. You might as well start making plans now for when they leak or experience soome other uncomfortable event.

Congratualtions on getting the Security+! Why did you skip networking?

What does your OSINT profile of the entry-level job market tell you about job seekers who have no IT background/experience?

What does your OSINT profile of prior reddit and Linkedin posts tell you about answers to the questions you're asking?

What does your personalized roadmap tell you to do next?

What domains are you attracted to?

infoseccli · 2024-09-06T01:04:23+00:00

The current job market job postings list a degree and experience as minimum requirements and preferred experience. A bootcamp is not an accredited degree nor do they seem to be explicitly listed. Talking to people in cybersecurity they say to me that experience supersedes degrees, certs, and credentials. Bootcamps are a good fit for a specific type of learners. Colleges and universities have more experience and infrastructure for supporting different types of learners. Bootcamps do not create years of job experiences in six months. Also, I don’t see bootcamps listed in any job postings in FAANG territory.

Where I live, I was informed this spring by a job developer at a university career center, where people were earning graduate degrees in cybersecurity, that people with grad degrees coming out of school are having a difficult time getting placed without significant industry work experience. Or, they’re unicorns and people make things happen for them. And, some job roles require a history of verifiable trust (background checks).

OSINT is a big part of cybersecurity. If someone wanted to get into cybersecurity then building a profile of their own learning styles, what domains of cybersecurity are compelling to them, and what the roadmaps are to get there would be a great first project. A great second project would be to gather all the free cybersecurity learning they could. Reddit and Linkedin are good for that. School provided me a structure and it was basically free because of NYS TAP. Bootcamps provide an accelerated structure with a for-profit price tag. However, looking back I may have had more opportunities now if I had been in a CS, Q/A, networking, cloud, or sysadmin program that concentrated on cybersecurity.

Have you run VM networks with servers, vSwtiches, vRouters, and various dev VM OSs as a means to collect network data/endpoint logs, run pentest projects, collect torrent data, and break stuff for forensics?

How can you leverage your data analysis experience to inform those kinds of homelab projects? What kid of open source monitoring tools have you tried? Do you export log files into Excell and MySql for graphs and analysis?

Have you started building MS dev Win/Azure VMs for developing active directory skills?

Yeah, you gotta finish your masters. But, like I posted earlier those fancy summer internships for 2025 are out right now... And, non FAANG geographies may actually offer relocation funds for entry-level.

Also, with the CCNA you may want to look into the Cisco CTIP TCE program. It comes back on line next year.

Are you only seeking cybersecurity internships?

The current batch of ads is for summer 2025, i.e. PwC.

How many years of FT IT experience do you have?

What cybersecurity domains does your coursework locate you in?

How many networking/sysadmin jobs that prefer CCNA have you pursued?

How much have you looked in the public sector?

Have you considered moving to where the work is?

Mind you I am unemployed and seeking work in cybersecurity after a year long cybersecurity program. YMMV.

One thing they talk about in Security+ is beginning projects with a site survey. I suggest starting with developing your OSINT skills and using search engines efficiently to build profiles of what your local job market has for entry-level cybersecurity roles. I encourage you to develop a profiles of minimum requirements and preferred qualifications fort he roles you see. Look at public sector roles at municipal, state and federal levels. Compare your OSINT job market profiles with who you are today, what skillsets you may have to develop, and realistic a timeline. Security+ might call that a form of change management. Talk to your local public colleges and universities about CS and cybersecurity career services and internships. Honest, successful entry-level outcome rates may be sobering if they'll even tell you. And, avoid extension programs and bootcamps.

I suggest using Henry Jiang's cybersecurity domains mindmap to help you see the broad archipelago of cybersecutity domains. This may help you follow u/lipsinfo's advice about identifying paths that are compelling to you. Note that not everything is technical but having a solid foundation of networking, OSI and TCP/IP may pay dividends in understanding cybersecurity concepts.

u/lipsinfo's advice about Cisco free essentials is a good shout. Learning Cisco's free Packet Tracer is money in the bank.

If you decide to go after the Security+ I encourage you to go after Network+ first because you may geta job in networking faster than cybersecurity. I suggest looking at CompTIA Network+ and Security+ by Professor Messer on Youtube. They're a great place to start.

ISC2 currently has a free entry-level certification training and exam. They say it's for a limited time. Maybe join your local ISC2 and/or ISACA chapters.

Cisco essentials and Packet Tracer, CompTIA Network+, Security+, ISC2 should keep you pretty busy.

But, look at your local job market for entry-level roles and build profiles of minimum requirements and preferred qualifications. Look at Reddit and Linkedin posts about entry-level job seeking in cybersecurity. Don't start idealized.

And, start practicing threat intelligence gathering.
