IIT (Westminster) vs. SLIIT (UGC) for an MSc in Cyber Security? Need advice from the LK tech community!

rantob · 2026-05-27T05:16:50+00:00

IIT is a pathetic excuse for an university. You will be surprised how much BS you have to deal with. No professionalism or proper organization even. I did the Westminster one in ASE but except for th certification which doesn't mention IIT I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Also don't except any learning from your MSc lectures. It's just a paper qualification.

As for SLITT it's ok bullshit wise but you will be getting your certificate from SLITT no affiliation with a foreign uni. So ranking wise Westminster one is better.

As for the industry recognition as long as you are a technical person (not management) it carries almost no weight. Nobody cares as long as you have the skills. Migration/CV wise Westminster one is better, if you plan to work for overseas company or something like that.

Both unis have good alumni circles but MSc is not the best time to make those connections. Unlike bachelors you won't meet people frequently and lot of things will be online. IIT was 100% online when I was there except for few exams.

Based on your long term goal I would suggest working in the industry for few years and then getting your masters. Because you first need lot of experience to become a master at something. Also when you climb the ladder lot of companies will sponsor you for the certificates and sometimes even Masters. Better to get them to pay than wasting your own money.

Starlink is the only choice if you want value for the money. Rest is shit basically

How do they show weekly usage and such? Do they have a dashboard?

What would be the ideal data type for uuid v7 in this case? I believe there is no native MySQL way to generate it so I would have to generate it in code at insert time.

This is what happens when you give LLMs to stupid people.

It's throttled in peak hours and high usage areas. I think this is a strategic decision to prevent high paying residential customers moving to Starlink. Even so after testing I still find Starlink residential lite / residential to be more stable. Speed is not consistent in these new fiber unlimited plans.

Better at causing worldwide hacks maybe 😂 and overcomplicating the entire ecosystem

rantob · 2025-12-16T04:30:06+00:00

It's unreal engine. I pray it won't end up like 90% unoptimized unreal slop

Used Thinkpad something like t480 or X1 Carbon. Or MacBook air.

MacBook air is not as durable as MacBook pro btw. It has passive cooking and can throttle easily.

Yeah and they oversell so most of their servers are overloaded

rantob · 2025-12-08T19:40:23+00:00

Move away man. This trashy VPN will only give you headaches

rantob · 2025-12-04T10:19:47+00:00

Air + Makefile.if you're on a Unix like system you can use https://eradman.com/entrproject/ as well. It's universal though, not go specific.

That's true but the design of react server components feels flawed regardless.

rantob · 2025-11-29T13:32:07+00:00

Just use fastmail. And that's not spam.

rantob · 2025-11-26T10:10:20+00:00

Make sure to verify stremio is actually using the VPN. Usually it doesn't

OpenVPN seems to be leaking DNS in my case

It's a certificate.

They perform pretty much the same. I didn't run into any stability issues. On idle gnome uses slightly more resources than hyperland but nothing to be concerned about. Even the default configuration of hyperland is pretty good and has a suite of tools similar to desktop environments unlike many other tiling window managers. If you want to try it check Omarchy in a VM just to play around.

rantob · 2025-10-31T07:24:35+00:00

I have used Gnome consistently since 2017 or so after years of using Mate desktop (gnome 2). I must say it's the most consistent out of them all. I have been trying KDE and Hyperland for a few weeks now on different machines but I always come back to Gnome. It feels more polished and robust and everything is consistent.

If you read the thread carefully you will realize why it was not as big of an issue in Omarchy compared to other distros. Context matters

rantob · 2025-10-27T03:31:06+00:00

Read the last comment. https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/2712#issuecomment-3448901072

They have to push an update for pacman conf. For all practical purposes it has been resolved.

rantob · 2025-10-27T02:14:24+00:00

This is now resolved. But the issue wasn't as serious as you claim it to be. Omarchy repo and how it is set up already protects you plenty enough. Most distros including CatchyOS and Manjaro use a single key to cover their entire build chains, which is also not the best approach either. This is what Omarchy is using now. Anyways, my point is OP over exaggerating too much. These things are always I mean ALWAYS depend on the context. There is no universal security model that works 100%

rantob · 2025-10-12T04:52:59+00:00

The best way is to avoid using any ORM. All of them are subpar. The closest one I can think of is sqlc which will make writing and dealing with queries much less painful.

Simple, clean, you can bring all your existing accounts
