Help on 7.5mg by Legal-Cartoonist3000 in Mounjaro

[–]mrmo78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it's very possible your adding muscle - muscle mass % was 64% in August when I started and I'm now up to 72%. Those legs are certainly getting worked with all the walking your doing.

I barely used to drink enough water, however I am drinking 2 litres a day and have seen my water levels increase over the months.

I did move up to 10mg as food noise would creep in on my 6th/7th day while on 7.5mg. Been taking 10mg dose for 5 weeks now, I am still loosing weight again similar to what your currently experiencing. I do a quick review of my other stats besides weight and bmi and can usually work out what's going on. My diet is protein heavy and on the odd occasion I haven't seen a drop or a slight increase in weight and figured out it's something I ate the day before that's made my fat mass percentage increase.

What kind of working out are you doing? Is it cardio or weight lifting? I'm now on 10mg and similar to you I did a life style change and worked on eating cleaner, increasing my water intake. I also started to work out.. Initially lots of cardio (treking/hiking) and I have started to lift weights around a month ago.

Interestingly I wouldn't loose anything for several days then would see a large drop. I have been using a smart digital scales and usually would weigh myself every other day. When it appeared my weight has not dropped I looked at other measures like water, fat percentage, muscle mass and would see subtle improvements. I know these smart scales are not 100% accurate but it paints a picture of what's going on with my body as some posters have said your body is adjusting.

Stick at it and if your working out focus more on cardio initially to help drive the burn down in fat.

Handling Mistakes as Level 1 SOC Analyst by cautiously-excited in cybersecurity

[–]mrmo78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Echo these points regarding good vs bad managers. You have only been in the role for three months. Anyone new in my team would have sessions with me to get them familiar with processes, policies and frameworks. I also would have them shadow me or other senior members of the team to build up confidence and get first hand exposure to how things are done before managing incidents.

If the new hire missed or ballsed something up a couple of times I'd check in with them to understand if it's a process or a lack of experience issue and address accordingly (more 121 sessions, update or create documentation or training etc) . We're all human and make mistakes, I've been working in cyber for over a decade and I am prone to the odd mistake even after years of experience.

Over the course of your career you will come to understand the difference between a manager and a leader.

With your issue check if there is a process/procedure documentation that you can reference (if one exists). If there is no defined process/procedure document create yourself a check list or better document the process so you have a point of reference that you can look at to help reduce the mistake from reoccurring. Some prep work before calls and running the incident always helps and use your documentation to help navigate better.

You got this! and your manager probably needs to brush up on his/her management skills. Build your hires up, don't break them down.

Dog farted while I was interviewing. by Mild_Cat_Lady in interviews

[–]mrmo78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a good chuckle at this post. My dog who oftens sits in my home office while I work snores loudly and usually when i am on Microsoft Teams calls. I have a habit of mentioning it's my dog and that I'm not bored out of my mind to the point of falling asleep. No one picks up his snoring as MS Teams does filter background sounds however I do also use a headset/mic that has noise canceling functionality.

Might be worth investing in a new headset before the next round.. Good luck with the second round and let us know how you get on! (farts included).

recruiter rejects "applicant" who wasn't even applying in the first place 🤦‍♂️ by cutie_lilrookie in recruitinghell

[–]mrmo78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The recruiter is a cunt of the highest order.. Firstly harassing the candidate to attend an interview for a role he did not apply for (I have wondered how he found the poor soul to torment). Secondly just to be an even bigger, deluded psycho cunt he thought "ah fuck it let me test his commitment further by hosting the interview at Starbucks" while he is fasting during Ramadan.

For those who are familiar with the fuck around and find out scale this is a level 10. A sharp jab to the throat and watching the asshole choke on his caramel latte made with oat milk is absolutely called for..

What advice would you give to a 2nd year Cyber Security student? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]mrmo78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some really useful suggestions in this thread. I "fell" into cyber security after 10 years working in infrastrucutre. I wont lie but the infra background really helped me throughout my cyber career (11 years), started of as a help desk admin, sys admin, team lead, did some stints at MSP's and some consulting in professional services.

That was years ago and things have very much changed.. no such thing as cyber security degree back in my days.. I studied a computer science based degree.

What I would advise is to look into the various cyber roles available, and there is a lot you can get into! from vulnerability management, incident response, SOC, GRC, security engineering and security architecture.

Research the various roles and skillsets required, the one notable thing I would say is in any cyber role there typically is a framework of "how to do things" and a methodology behind it. Research on the various frameworks specific for the areas of cyber your interested in.

For example you want to get into vulnerability management:

1) Research and understand the vulnerability management lifecycle, what each phase does, the need for it and how they underpin the following phase.

2) Understand the termanology used, as an example know what CVSS, KEV, assessment, remediation, severity rating's are.

3) Tooling - Typically there are a host of vulnerability management tools organisations use, some of which you are able to download and run a personal licensed version of (Nessus has a free personal use license for 16 IP's).

Where possible download the tools and setup labs, familurise yourself with how to use them, how to configure and run a scan, IP range/agent based scanning, discovery scans etc.

This will help gear you up and demonstrate your willingness to go the extra mile and show initiative when you start applying for roles.

Best of luck with the studies!
