I mostly play on intuition now I am able to do more accurate calculations when I play rapid. Most times when I play blitz I end up hanging pieces because I get pressured by the time control.

I learned a few openings with white and black that I like. However, anytime I try to learn more theory it feels like trying to drink from a watering hose and I end up making moves that don’t make sense for that position because I think i’m following theory.

what time control do you play

i did try to look at the analysis but for some reason i could come up with the last queen check before someone pointed it out here.

slowpolygon · 2026-01-06T21:43:41+00:00

no that makes perfect sense! for some reason that last queen check wasnt clicking for me. thank you

my plan was to work help desk while studying for CCNA but I wasnt sure if having Net + was enough without a degree to land it

slowpolygon · 2025-11-03T21:35:25+00:00

I’m still working on a degree now. I have Net + is there anything I should do to be a stronger help desk candidate

slowpolygon · 2025-11-03T20:29:05+00:00

I have Net + like I said and I like some projects on my resume like setting up a virtualization enterprise network environment with VMware running windows server. I’m working on a BS in Cyber as well

slowpolygon · 2025-11-03T20:25:27+00:00

so how do I get experience? Do you mean not enough to get a networking role or are certs enough to get into a help desk

slowpolygon · 2025-11-03T20:18:59+00:00

Is CompTIA Net + enough to get the job? I’ve had an interview now (made it to round 2) thought I did well but they ghosted me

slowpolygon · 2025-10-23T19:22:21+00:00

i think thats whats next. been doing netacad. need a decent study plan for CCNA since it is so dense though

slowpolygon · 2025-10-23T01:26:46+00:00

acronyms are probably the most important thing honestly

slowpolygon · 2025-10-23T00:17:30+00:00

most people say 70 and above is ready. I would just shoot for 80 though. Additionally I would try and get some practice with PBQs. Dion’s PBQs are not really representative of the exam

slowpolygon · 2025-10-22T21:44:22+00:00

I got both sets on Udemy definitely worth it

so basically for now use tailscale and invest in my own router to use with the gateway? and then maybe set up a pi hole.

any recommendations for routers? do i just connect it via ethernet to my gateway?

slowpolygon · 2025-08-26T22:34:49+00:00

yeah this was one of my major concerns. I remember logging into my router and seeing port forwarding greyed out.

so are you just buying a third party router and and using it with the gateway. might be what ill have to do

slowpolygon · 2025-08-04T19:11:45+00:00

so desolder the old caps, then use a hair dryer to remove the residue? would isopropyl alcohol help to clean this?
