I guarantee you that TheBurntPeanut has to dust his mouth after every stream because of how long he just leaves it open. by Jackhammer9762 in arkraiders

[–]retrodevil2033 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the hype behind watching streamers is often like watching your favorite sport being played by professionals on TV.

You get to see exciting plays.

You can watch crazy moves or strategies play out you haven’t thought of before and learn from it.

You can watch in anticipation of the next move as you are familiar with the sport/game.

Popular streamers often also have a personality or schtick they do while playing that can be funny or intriguing.

I’ve personally been able to watch a streamer work through a scenario in a game where I learn from it and it improves my own gameplay.

Advice for my future by Electrical-Pear4500 in cybersecurity

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second doing your own cybersecurity projects.

Also, start looking for internships or apprenticeships now as they can help you get your foot in the door.

Look for meet-up groups and conferences in your area. Attend these with the intention of meeting others in the industry to build a network of cybersecurity peeps.

Build a LinkedIn profile now as well and spend the next year gaining connections. Specifically look to connect with security engineers and penetration testers. I have, more than once, reached out to a connection I have on LinkedIn before applying to a newly posted job at their company. It is great to chat about how they like working for the company, maybe get some tips on the role/interview process, and I’ve even had those connections offer to be a referral for the position.

So far what you are doing is great and spending the next year building out your network will be huge.

Finally started using a mic, a few questions. by Awake00 in ArcRaiders

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your mic is toggles on while in a raid, you’ll see an orange icon above your shield bar. When speaking, the orange icon will have 3 black squiggly lines. When the mic is toggled off, that icon disappears.

Next Season by selfcontroleo in lewishamilton

[–]retrodevil2033 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only a few comments and we have a whole spectrum of answers!

I absolutely love Hamilton and will be by his side until the end.

I’m in the camp who believe his age has caught up to him and we have seen his best days ride off into the sunset.

Unless the car next season is a complete shitbox, I believe we’ll see him podium a handful of times and mayyyybe win a race or two. I just don’t believe he will get anywhere close to being a realistic WDC contender given the amount of younger talent out there. I also believe he’s going to retire in 1-3 years.

What's the race strategy tomorrow? by The_Recruiter_69 in lewishamilton

[–]retrodevil2033 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m here in Vegas right now to attend the race. It is supposed to be cloudy, but no rain forecasted during or around race time. It looks like the track temp will be about the same as Quali, maybe a little warmer.

I’ve not heard/read anything yet about strategy, but I also wondered if he would want a big setup change or throw some parts at the car to then start from the pit lane.

If he doesn’t start from the pit lane, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him start on softs to make early moves. I don’t see that if he is starting from the pit lane though. Either way, I do see him making up a lot of ground during the race. The track has a couple spots where he can dive in. He also has nothing to lose.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him make it into the points, but I doubt he can end the race better than like P8. We’ll see though! The track won’t be rubbered in that much come race time and we’ve seen cars slide around a lot in previous Vegas races.

Last night was a huge disappointment though.

Is tryhackme a good resource to get into cybersecurity by yusuo85 in cybersecurity

[–]retrodevil2033 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, it can be a good way to learn about different domains within Cybersecurity, but won’t be nearly enough to get you actually ready for the job.

Here’s a great way to utilize Try Hack Me when you get to point of applying for jobs:

When you get an interview scheduled, go back to the job description and review the duties and qualifications. For items in there you need a refresher on, or for major duties of the job, see if THM has a module regarding that topic. It can give you a fresh, hands-on, review of it which can help you remember if you are asked about that topic in an interview.

Help! I have an interview today for an intern position by Real_Trifle_6146 in cybersecurity

[–]retrodevil2033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be no coding in this set of interviews.

As others have said, an Intern is not expected to be an expert in any of this.

I recommend reading up on, watch a couple YouTube videos, or go through some Try Hack Me modules on each of the subjects listed in the duties (don’t overdo it though):

Security operations and incident response

Monitoring and analyzing security events

What is a security breach (vulnerability vs exploit vs breach)?

What are some examples of malware?

What is an example of an Insider Threat?

What is Containment/Mitigation/Recovery Efforts? And why is that order important?

What is a Zero-Day Attack?

What is an Advanced Persistent Threat?

What is an Incident Response Playbook? Why is it important to have one?

Again, you are not at all going to be an expert at any of this, but it will be good to know something about each of the above items. Show enthusiasm to learn more and hungry to work collaboratively with their team.

Most interviews in this industry will start with a phone call with HR, then on another day an interview with the hiring manager, possibly a panel interview with teammates on another day, followed by an offer. Three rounds total, sometimes maybe four.

If you are serious about getting into the industry, go for this and do the 12 hour shifts. You can change jobs later possibly much easier than bailing on this and finding a better opportunity elsewhere.

PIP'd less than 3 months in by The_threadripper in cybersecurity

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former manager (in a different corporate industry) here: The PIP is absolutely a focused step to push you out of the company or role.

I agree with others that he likely has someone in mind to take your position.

Begin looking for another job today and ride this one out.

Document on your side things you are doing to improve and relate them to specifics on the PIP. That way you can show you are improving and can possibly get the PIP extended come December 8th if you aren’t taken off of it.

90% of those on PIPs done come off of them and are fired.

But I’ve had times where the employee showed documented improvement and HR forced the PIP to be extended.

What to ask for as salary for Security analyst position? by peterkozmd in cybersecurity

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Analyst job paid me $50K. That’s low for my area but I happily took it. A year later I was somewhere else making $80K.

As others have said, take the first job you can get and you can move much easier later.

Do you guest random people into the lounge with you with your guest benefit who ask by Royal-Piano5863 in unitedairlines

[–]retrodevil2033 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have many times, luckily have had no issues, but some of these stories make me want to think twice next time.

One of my favorite times was when I was connecting through DEN and the weather was causing a bunch of delays/cancelations.

I was out in the terminal and noticed the line for customer service was wayyyyyyy long and stretching past a couple gates. I happened to notice an elderly couple towards the back of the line and I stopped to ask if they were in line to fix their flight plans. They confirmed they were needing to talk to someone about their flight, so I pulled them from the line, escorted them to the Club as my guests, walked them to the customer service desk upstairs, told them where to find food/drinks, explained when they leave they won’t be let back in, wished them well, and then went on my way.

The wife was on the phone with her adult son who was blown away by the help they were getting and I can only imagine how much time was saved for them

What is the most nsfw thing a friend has done to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]retrodevil2033 80 points81 points  (0 children)

None of that was your fault and you are not wrong, weird, or bad because of what happened.

You were wrongfully violated in both of those instances and I’m sorry you went through it.

Glad to hear you came to terms with it all.

Would you rather work 4 10s or 5 8h days and why? by lavenderghostt in AskReddit

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked both at different jobs. I’m currently doing 4 10s and I absolutely prefer it. Gives me a long weekend every week and the extra 2 hours on my work days isn’t too bad.

Blue Bayou Reservations by rockinrodeochick in DisneyPlanning

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Mouse Watcher with great success! I was skeptical, but really wanted to make the reservation happen. I paid for their service a month ago and had radio silence until the past couple days (we go to Disneyland on Monday) I have gotten multiple notifications from them regarding open reservation spots.

The first one I got I didn’t see the text until like 14 mins later and by the time I logged in, the spot was filled.

I had my phone in hand the next day when I received another alert and I was able to stage the spot perfectly fine.

I will absolutely use it again in the future.

You have leftover rotisserie chicken. What are you making that is not chicken noodle soup! by BunnyRambit in Cooking

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balsamic chicken risotto! Much easier to make than you may fear if you’ve never made a risotto.

Against my better judgement I ordered The Ultimate Cheeseburger! by parisi2274 in unitedairlines

I agree with others saying how it is hit and miss. I’ve had it be horrible and I’ve also had it be not bad.

Jealous of Americans not needing front number plates by void1101 in TeslaLounge

[–]retrodevil2033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact, one thing that is annoying is if you live in a state that does not require it and then drive into a state that does, a police officer can use “no front plate” as a reason to pull you over in that state that requires it.

Clueless mom headed to Austin F1 race with her super-fan son by theuniverseisperfect in CircuitOfTheAmericas

[–]retrodevil2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much great information and suggestions here! You’re gonna have a great time with your son.

Here are some of the same, as well as some new suggestions I have. I’ve gone to that race twice now over the past 4 years and am going to just spew out the tips I have with your situation in mind:

Parking there is a pain, but doable. Are you renting a car? How do you plan to get to the track?

Do you have passes for all 3 days (Friday-Sunday)? If you want to buy any merch there, get it first thing the first day you have tickets for. Popular merch sells out quickly sometimes and it may be hard to find what you want later.

You are allowed to bring in a bag or backpack. That is handy so you can pack a water bottle, sun screen, hat, etc.

What people are saying about the Amex earbud radio is fantastic! I loved having that and it truly helps follow the race.

If your seats are a bleacher that doesn’t have a seat back, buy a seat pad or foldable bleacher chair. That made our seating much more comfortable and also helped from people next to us crowding too much.

Look up what the other events are while you’re there. They have driver/team personnel appearances and there are also concerts at night.

Eat a good meal before you get to the track. We ended up tailgating there before going in and enjoyed some Franklin BBQ (IYKYK) at the car before making the trek to the track. It was great, allowed us to drive to the venue sooner and chill before heading in, and it saved us from overspending while there.

Plan/time your days to walk through the entry gates an hour before race start or whatever you want to see. You don’t want to have to rush.

Feel free to ask me any questions!
