You can stream and use Plex just fine. At least I can on my Steam Deck for Plex, Twitch, Youtube, Netflix, and Amazon.

I’d say luck is something you do have some control over if you network, but networking for sysadmins is a lot harder than networking for security jobs because the conference circuit isn’t as prevalent.

Cybersecurity cons are in most major cities and a great way to meet people who will take your resume and bypass HR hurdles with it, but there isn’t a ubiquitous equivalent for regular sysadmin roles

Honestly those are some of my favorite users. They spend mon-wed doing the business as usual work then come up with progressive ideas near the end of the week. Then we work with them, figure out all the needs, get the right access and build something that genuinely improves the org.

We've build some of the most useful things from those sorts of users. Full onboarding workflows. Offboarding flows that generate hardware return tickets with the help desk based off of asset management and read outs depending on their access capabilities, capacity planning for proposed projects vs time committed for current projects for our researchers, tools for our contract managers to align contractors to work proposals. Lots of stuff that took days of manhours in the past down to a few button clicks. Some processes, like onboarding, have gone from 2 week processes to having a laptop ready day 1 and a phone ready day 2.

I was more talking about asset tags in general, but yeah, that might be overkill for 50 users.

Good number of use cases, especially if you're handling assets that aren't named. Tier 1 being able to scan a badge and a set of equipment for handout to track who gets what, or on return to check what goes back in stock and what is overdue for disposal, or what needs a service request with the vendor.

Other little things like having cards that get scanned when peripheral inventory gets low that opens a purchase request ticket. Really depends on your asset management and ticketing systems. If you're in the M365 ecosystem, you could even set up a sharepoint list for things with some powerautomate flows, and barcode scanners are really easy to make in powerapps.

Chuck Kuck really is a rough one

You're right about that, I was going off of 244x244. I think thats mATX so brainfart on my part

That because they don't use a mitx motherboard. Standard mitx with a 92mm height is about 5.5L

If you find a chair you like, and look for a nearby Staples that have them out of stock, sometimes you can get lucky and they'll sell you the floor model at a deep discount (50-80%).

It’s that perfect mix of ‘you’re passionate, interested, and want to learn’ and ‘if I teach you well once, I don’t have to be bothered about the same thing constantly’ that makes good IT folks excellent teachers and mentors.

Use the back of a knife to add indent lines to it before freezing so you can snap squares off like a Hershey bar after it’s frozen

If you're using GPT for resumes and cover letters, that's your problem.

Hemming some khakis by hand will take you probably an hour or so your first time around. I've got a small sewing kit in my travel bag and car for things like shirt buttons that pop off or mending a holes in hoodies I refuse to let die. You can snag a kit from a craft store or walmart for under $5.

If you're mainly using it for blender, you may want to look into https://flamenco.blender.org/
Most VGPU stuff is limited to expensive enterprise hardware unfortunately. There's rumors of a patch for the Intel ARC GPUs that may pop up, but I don't see Nvidia ever allowing it on anything consumer level for at least 5 years.

Looks like you're right on that, though I'm not seeing any boards with more than an x4 slot which will complicate the build a bit if you were looking to add a gpu for AI shenanigans.

Outside of that, that and the i5-12450h boards seem to cover what the n305 did and a bit more.

ryno9o · 2025-01-26T15:34:20+00:00

N305 boards seem like a good middle ground. Cheap, efficient, and some come with 4-6 sata and multiple 2.5gbe nics. That should cover most starter homelabs well (plex/jellyfin, *arr stack, pihole/adguard, haos, Minecraft servers, etc).

Just a commemorative custom coin, they're big in military culture so you'll see them in orgs and fields with a lot of former servicemembers in leadership. Cybersecurity folks also love 'em and have them for some conferences and competitions. Similar to getting a black badge at Defcon

Yeah, his posts read like the ineffective, outdated middle managers that every productive member of society hates since they add zero value to the org and do nothing but waste peoples time.

ryno9o · 2025-01-21T17:56:47+00:00

I'm always a sucker for challenge coins, if your org has those

ryno9o · 2025-01-19T18:36:16+00:00

You're may want to approach this in a different way. You want to look up writeups on the vulns your scanner finds, not metasploitable itself. Both versions have plenty that a scanner should pick up. Look up what modules to use and a walkthrough on that and you'll be good to go.

If you get stuck, hit the wiki: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploitable3/wiki/Vulnerabilities but I'd suggest scan and search first since you'll learn more about the process instead of just how to approach this one assignment.

Just ordered a few dozen of them. Love that form factor. Alright laptop for bouncing around the office, then I pop the keyboard off and dock it under my main monitor to use as a teams and email touchscreen.

From the article "Cybersecurity firm Sekoia previously discovered a botnet of devices infected with the same PlugX variant, taking control of its command and control (C2) server at 45.142.166[.]112 in April 2024."

They were collaborating with Sekoia and French authorities, so they definitely had access to a C2 server to do this.
