“I’ve been given an RTF, because these are still somehow a thing, better open in WordPad”

This was, also, my first programming language ever. Oh the memories of typing it in from one of those books on the one computer we had in our classroom…

No, MY name is Mud- oh, wait, yeah, carry on.

That’s the spirit!

If it doesn’t immediately spark the interest to buy it, go ahead and wait for it to go on sale. It sounds like you may have buyers’ remorse if it ends up not being your thing and you pay full price.

I got one cheaper on eBay, but it was broken “for parts” that I knew how to fix it cheaply, so really just how much you really, really want one

That part really bothered me, especially Linus’ words in the WAN show showing a complete disregard for the company and then auctioning off something they didn’t even own. I know if they were in America they’d likely be sued for defamation or something, I swear. If I were a company in that position I wouldn’t trust Linus with anything at all.

Not only will they find it, they’ll end up going to the sketchier sites that don’t do the age verification because they’re not well known enough and not following the laws and they’ll likely get something infected on the computer/network or worse.

Utility usage? Pull up the last 6 months of, like, water use (since you need to have water so it’s a solid metric).

Thank you! I guess the realization that I’ve hit the Lead experience area is still coming to me. Impostor syndrome is real.

So I’m planning for the future career move, right now I’m mostly overseeing a pentesting group with a little bit of participation during the tests. I’ve coded many projects over my time in many languages, but I really enjoyed doing reverse engineering of malware and various other things as they popped up years ago. I can’t imagine there’s a lot of that available, though. I have a GREM, GPEN, GCIH, and GASF from SANS (I wanted to get more but the company stopped paying for distance travel the last few years). I’m currently 100% remote in the US mid-Southwest and really enjoy it. I’ve got 13 years of a large variety of professional experience in the cybersecurity and general IT world, with a little bit of a dip into OT with some ICS classes. I’m also trained in digital forensics imaging and handling, as I’ve spent some time working for a law enforcement branch (that was a wild ride)

My main question that I have these days is… what would I call myself, professionally? What types of jobs should I be looking to do. I can do management and leadership but I like getting my hands dirty and solving problems.

Thank you.

I dunno, that’s a huge plot of land it’s sitting on. That’s easily a $350k fixer upper project home! It’s got personality! No noisy neighbors!
