I disagree! They can be great options, inexpensive and reliable. My current home server is a Dell r620 with xeon CPUs, 64gbs of RAM, and 2 terabytes storage in raid 5. It serves several vms, a mix of Windows and Linux. More than enough for many home set ups. Boots the os off a 16gb flash card. Cost me $185. Thing has been a tank.
I bought two short L brackets from home Depot, and have it hanging flat against the wall. It’s been fabulous.
Well now I have a new book (series?) to read, this looks super awesome, thank you
Derp, thanks for the prompt. I’d like to move to a position for more income. Government or private. Currently at $127k / yr.
Looking for cert guidance!
I’m a late-40’s life-long IT guy, working as a cybersecurity architect / deputy CISO for a state govt agency the last few years. I have my CISSP and bachelor’s in IT mgmt from WGU.
I have access to free microsoft classes & cert tests through my employer. Thinking about going back and getting some certs. Does it make sense to do the security certs in order?
SC-900, SC-100-200-300-400, AZ 500
Or am I overthinking it and I should just jump in and try a test to see how I do?
Also off work today, so it’s pet-project time: I have some scripts that collect local housing rental prices. I’ve been collecting this information in a sqlite db using python webscraping libraries, so I can chart the effects of gentrification and homelessness in my (small, rural) community.
Yep. This exactly.
