Blu3Good day netizens. Blue has returned after 10 years in tech, once again on the job hunt. I have worked a variety of roles from hands-on computer repair to Sys admin and more. In that time, I have accrued several certifications including the #Swimlane Certified #SOAR Administrator, #CompTIA #Network+, #Security+, #Pentest+, and #SecurityX . I'm currently looking for #remotework for anywhere in the #US . I'm targeting #cybersecurity roles, since that is what I am passionate about and my certifications are focused in, but I am also open to other IT roles such as software engineer, dev ops, etc. I'm a #transgender woman trying to provide for her #LGBTQIA family and any pay would greatly help us make ends meet as we try to survive in this refuge state where the cost of living is so much higher than back home. Boosts and sharing is welcome, thanks for your time and help.

daesorinTake today, I reinitialised my VPS and this time, the first thing I did was:
- `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y`
- then I installed important pkgs: podman (yeah, I took you guys advice and went for a podman quadlet setup), git, tmux (was already installed), cryptsetup, and others
- then I `fallocate -l 30G /secure`
- then `cryptsetup luksFormat /secure` to establish the cryptographic boundary
- then `cryptsetup luksOpen /secure vault` and formatted the mapped volume with mkfs.ext4
- I mounted the decrypted block to my application directory to serve as an isolated persistence layer for my data
- wrote the declarative .container, .network, and .volume Quadlet files for my routing and vault services, dropping them into ~/.config/containers/systemd/
- executed systemctl --user daemon-reload and my (semi-)self-hosted service were ready.
So much 'then' 😂
First time I went through to CompTIA Linux+ course, I just went through it, in order to pass the exam. And then I took a test ... to test my newly acquired knowledge (before going for the real exam). I scored below 600 😞.
So I have decided to go through it from the beginning again, this time I want to do it slowly (which to me seems stupid, as I need a certification to begin submitting applications... I am running on fumes now), and familiarise myself with each linux tool, what they do, when they should be used, and how they should be used.

Shadow125I just passed #CompTIA a+ core one with a 91%... (819 out of 900) How i have no clue none of my class work covered anything on the pretest materials and the practice tests were not even remotely the same format as the real test.... #IT #computers #tech #technology
