I got ESXi running on the computer I got from Scott and now I have a Palo Alto enterprise firewall VM running my whole house.
Booh yah! Show me your moves!
Had a blast at my gyms New Years party. Got thoroughly shit housed and won a tablet at bingo.
WEāll have to talk about this sometime, I have been interested in learning more about Palo Alto firewalls
This reply doubles as my Boo-yah. My team came in 4th at the Regional CCDC (Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition)!
@GeorgePatches @cremlian
As for Palo Alto, they were a sponsor so we had to use them in the competition. All Iām going to say is that you definitely want to stay up to date. The Red Team walked into that thing like it was a door even on the up to date version of PANOS 7. Definitely go to at least 8.06-h3.
Iām playing with the shiny new 8.1.0.
The competition sounds like a lot of fun.
Nice. Yeah it was super stressful but fun and I learned a lot. Also pretty good validation that Iām in the right field as I was the only person in the competition to keep one of the red team guys out.
When youāre done with college, let me know if youāre interested in the exciting world of government cyber defense.
After waiting on the virtual line for 8 hours and 42 minutes, I have successfully purchased 4 tickets to Hamilton at the Kennedy Center!
I keep seeing Hamilton tickets in my area but theyāre all for places that are selling only group ticket (10-20 people) or for season ticket holders! Iām really tempted !
Yes. These theaters that arenāt in NYC make all their money from season subscribers. When Hamilton started traveling they decided to make a season package required. Just like when GameStop and Best Buy make a new video game console only available in a bundle with crap you donāt want.
I finished my paralegal certificate program and my final grades came in, 3.75 GPA! Now for the terrifying prospect of finding work with zero relevant experience to put on my resume.
Since I have to move I was looking for an apartment. Saw one this morning in the most popular Craigs-list type of website in austria. Visited late in the afternoon and its fantastic, comes with a kitchen including dishwasher and stove, a walk-in wardrobe, parking space out front, the cellar space that comes with it is furnished with a bunch of closets so you can store stuff without dust getting in too much, and it fits perfectly into my price range. I thought about it and talked it over with a close friend right after, then immediately called back asking for a draft of the rental agreement.
Thank you, but the place seemed extremely clean. Also I canāt move in until August 1st anyway.
Iāll document everything before moving there just to ensure myself about how things look before I move in, and will probably post the images here for the before and after when I complete the move and have my stuff set up.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I didnāt have to go through a real estate agent, which also saves me a bunch of money compared to other apartments I was looking at.
I get to start summer vacation tomorrow night! Iām not looking forward to hauling my bike on a busy summer Chinese train, but at least itās not a traditional holiday. Once thatās done with, Iāve got ~6 weeks to bum around Hokkaido and Tohoku on said bike, and probably a bit around Nagoya/Gifu and Osaka to visit friends.
I am out of Japan till the 4th of August but if your in Gifu/Nagoya give me a shout and we can grab a beer.
Iāll probably be down that way around the 20th, so that sounds like a plan. We could even go haul stones up the mountain if itās in time for that festival.
