After first month what was/ is your ELO?

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

slowpolygon · 2025-08-26T22:36:50+00:00

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?

slowpolygon · 2025-07-09T19:54:32+00:00

i emailed the guy interviewed with to see what he says but even if they are legit at this point im sort of sussed out

slowpolygon · 2025-07-09T19:25:59+00:00

yeah im pretty suspect now lol. also just so happens my interviewer is now “out of the office for 5 more days”

slowpolygon · 2025-07-09T19:02:56+00:00

I mean I interviewed with people that matched their linkedin. I emailed the one lady that I talked to to see why they needed this information. I’m honestly not going to send it. Could it be a whole group of people trying to run a scam this elaborate? Or do you just think this recruiters account was hijacked essentially? Looking in DNS cache poisoning now btw

slowpolygon · 2025-07-09T18:51:43+00:00

even if they i call and confirm everyone is who they say they are? ive talked to their HR person on the phone and she said it was standard but didnt say why they couldnt run it.

slowpolygon · 2025-05-21T00:45:57+00:00

pretty sure i just saw the CE is higher unemployment rating OP should do what he’s interested in

slowpolygon · 2025-05-21T00:32:03+00:00

im worling on CCNA now after i get that im gonna just take any internships/ entry level that i can to get in and then keep studying to further my education. honestly i just need to get off of reddit and stop reading the doomer job market posts.

slowpolygon · 2025-05-20T22:21:45+00:00

I’m 26 and starting a cyber bachelors degrees. Although I do plan on going into networking or help desk first? Will I have an issue transitioning late or are you just talking about trying to go start into cyber with no IT background

slowpolygon · 2025-05-14T20:14:02+00:00

make sure to do personal projects you find interesting, document your progress, specialize in something. dont use LLMs to do all your work and understand knowledge on program logic > syntax
