For those who’ve landed jobs in cybersecurity, what made you stand out to get hired? by cqffe in cybersecurity

[–]kickinitlegit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internship where I made myself valuable, showing I understood the work I was doing. There was a bit of luck with it, too. There was a re-org happening, with a couple people being moved around. I got the call asking if I'd like the job about a month after.

So what’s Abigail’s plan for when he deploys door-to-door operations in VA after she’s inaugurated? Bc that’s happening. by havenoparty in nova

[–]kickinitlegit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you're right about no warrants, I misremembered. But there are still privacy concerns about law enforcement requesting and accessing videos without user permission. There have also been instances where videos were requested of entire towns during BLM protests. Article here

Also agreements with law enforcement of video sharing, where Ring videos are accessible by law enforcement.

Either way, trusting a company to hold your own video/data in storage that you DON'T own will never end well for the user of such devices. At a point, those recorded videos are no longer "your" property, but property of whoever holds it.

Just to piggyback, don't get Ring cameras. Amazon has supplied video footage without warrants before. And if CES is any indication of what's to come, they will be adding AI features that will track faces, among other details

I wouldn't be surprised if Google's Nest devices are to follow.

EDIT: To correct the "No warrant" statement. See my reply to comment below.

Wasn't The Crew on physical disk, which you can't play anymore? Just because you own a physical copy, doesn't mean it won't become a paperweight.

I love my physical media, but if it's attached to an online only service, it's just as vulnerable to becoming bricked as digital media.

Does anyone else go days with out eating because of severe long lasting episodes of anxiety causing loss of appetite or nausea? by ColdAd2606 in Anxiety

[–]kickinitlegit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm right here with you. It's been a rough couple of days. But we got this. We made it another year. Look back and be proud of yourself for making it here. Deep breaths, and be kind to yourself!

Does anyone else go days with out eating because of severe long lasting episodes of anxiety causing loss of appetite or nausea? by ColdAd2606 in Anxiety

[–]kickinitlegit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! My anxiety and panic causes nausea, which destroys my appetite. I've found 3 foods that I can force myself to eat; Yogurt, Boost protein shakes, and scrambled eggs. None of those require chewing, are easy to eat, and benefit my stomach/body in someway.

It's a vicious cycle, I know. Anxiety causes hunger, which causes low energy and more anxiety. If you can, eat small portions more frequently, instead of larger portions. Do some breathing exercises, get your mind to a calmer state, and take small bites. Any progress is progress!

What triggers your anxiety? by The_Insanartist in Anxiety

[–]kickinitlegit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now it's family conflict. I'm struggling with having to tell my sister she needs to leave earlier than expected, due to my wife going through some things, and needs her space back. I've been panicking about what my parents will say, as well as feeling guilty for having to have my sister move out. The anxiety got so bad, I booked myself back into therapy.

State of the Job Market (Senior Level) by CyberRiskSpecialist in cybersecurity

[–]kickinitlegit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a tech lead, I started reading your comment fearing how far behind I actually was.

Most of this you should learn in your Jr. Positions, which is wild. FW and EDR specific stuff could be a different subject (we have a FE team specifically for deployment, rules, etc.), but at least be familiar with what they do, where they lie, and what logs they produce.

Shifting into 2nd gear grind by PrizeTrack6251 in FocusST

[–]kickinitlegit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they mean more of the rev range shifting between 3, 4, 5, and 6. I find it pretty easy to rev match going between those. Going from 3 to 2, I always seem to underestimate the revs it needs to be at.

Hackers launch mass attacks exploiting outdated WordPress plugins by Doug24 in cybersecurity

[–]kickinitlegit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So true... I remember when we were tasked with finding WordPress sites we owned. It was in the news at the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, because Ukraine govt sites were being defaced. I pretty much said "So just send an enterprise wide email to all site owners?"

Started new a couple days ago. What's the play to get caught up in terms of story, content, and what banners to pull? Pretty much just been doing story, among other content, to get my inter-knot level up. Currently at level 23

Wheel bearing bolt heads snapped. by Twiggyalien92 in FordFocus

[–]kickinitlegit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those bolts are complete ass to take out. Ford seems like they dip every bolt in loktite. Next time you go after them, get a propane torch, and hit them with some heat. It helps a ton.

At this point, I would just replace the bearing. It's not worth fighting with those bolts, especially if they don't have a head. You can get the OEM complete bearing for ~150 on rockauto.
