The biggest perk for me for a dedicated NAS is redundancy and hot swap ability.

It is inevitable that a few of your spinning disks will die and need to be replaced, a proper dedicated NAS box will let you pop out and swap that drive and then the NAS software will rebuild the array for you with no data loss.

Obviously you can do most all of this with a normal desktop, but it's generally easier with the right hardware.

I custom built mine running Truenas which was way cheaper then a dedicated NAS, but also I'm an IT turbo nerd so I wanted to do the whole thing myself.

What do you think the odds are that some of these make it state side?

[-] nagaram@startrek.website 3 points 20 hours ago

Most of the address and numbers they do have are off or old.

I moved through a lot of places in college and one of those 5 are usually what shows up.

Now that I think about it I did used to sign up for a bunch of religious mailing lists before I would leave an apartment because I thought it was funny.

Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it's dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we're pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don't think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile "discussions" in that we just don't know how to do it.

What's been on your mind? If you don't wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.

I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).

Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?

I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?

I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I'm about to go back to finish 5 years later.

Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn't any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.

Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.

Couple things

  1. Start applying for things you're not sure and you know you aren't qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don't actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you're able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you're a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.

  2. Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.

SEIM (startrek.website)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by nagaram@startrek.website to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I am studying for my Network+ and my Sec+ hoping to shadow our Cyber Sec guy at work.

I want to set up a SEIM on my home network so I can be used to it's operations and how it works by the time I start messing with Pentesting stuff. Then I'm going to use it to try and track myself when I pentest myself.

I was looking into Graylog or Security Onion since they seem to have decent documentation (and I can find videos on how to set them up which is nice).

I was recommended building my own ELK stack and doing everything manually for maximum learning potential. Which I understand why this is a good idea, but I think I'd rather be as close to "baby's first SEIM" as possible or at least have a robust how-to guide.

What do you suggest?

They had an auto tram that could carry everyone across the entire facility and was sophisticated enough to stop for a robotic auto loader.

I feel like it would have been trivial to ha e acomputer Controlled cart and, if they really wanted, a humanoid robot to press the button.

There's a book I read that takes place in Faerun where a cleric is getting tortured by ogre clerics by having his limbs broken and then they use heal spells to heal his limbs at odd angles. After he's freed, they break his limbs again, heal them in braces, but he had a permanent limp

DnD healing can only do so much before its just some high power reality changing magic.

I like to pick the lock to make sure there's nothing important behind the door. Then I lock it back to shoot it.

Just saying, if you had spent as much on a laptop as you did on a MacBook, you would get a full work days of battery.

It's the same failure point apple fans have about Android. Yeah there are cheap androids. They suck, but also they cost$100-$200 new. What's apples offering in that price range?

[-] nagaram@startrek.website 21 points 8 months ago

I don't really care unless it has the same price point as the 8gb one.

But we all know it won't be.
