I just discovered LeBrock and oh my god.
I’ve been listening to synthwave for a while now. I’ve been familiar with artists like The Midnight (seeing them in concert next month!) FM Attack, Downtown Binary, KRISTINE, and a few others for some time. However, a friend recommended me NINA, which led to me finding Jessie Frye, and then LeBrock.
Let me just say that finding “Dangerous Dreams” by LeBrock has made me incredibly happy. This song is now among the top 0.1% of my favorite songs.

D833 Capstone Issues
Hey all.
I am currently working on task 1 of the Cybersecurity capstone. I'm doing the phishing lab. I submitted all the work and it got kicked back without an evaluation. The screenshot I submitted was the ticket closure after completing all the remediation steps. I opened notepad in the lab and included my student ID, name, and the scenario. I also made sure to include the lab taskbar and my desktop taskbar showing the date as August 11th, when I initially completed the lab.
The ticket closure email shows it was closed on April 30th, 2026. This date does not change no matter how many times you do the lab. I've completed the lab three times now and gotten the same result every time.
I emailed the course instructor, and at first, they ignored the screenshot I sent to them, basically repeating what is shown in the evaluation report. After I pushed back and asked about my screenshot I sent them, they told me that it wouldn't be sufficient because of the ticket showing a closure date of April 30th. They then followed up with another email stating that I need to include a screenshot from the manager showing that the issue had been resolved, and not one of the ticket (which was not included in this report).
After completing the lab a third time and taking a screenshot of the manager's email (which has no date), and all the same information as before, I sent this over to the course instructor for review. As of yet, I haven't had a response.
Did anyone else have to jump through this many hoops when they submitted their capstone?
I'd include more screenshots to clarify what I mean, but I'm hesitant to do so as I don't want to be flagged for assisting others in cheating. If I've been unclear about anything, let me know.

My commissary always has the cutest snacks.
Saw the candy sticks today in their seasonal section, along with the usual stuff in the Asian food aisle.

Has anyone returned an item to buyee after filing a dispute?
I received an item that was damaged as a result of Buyee's careless packing. I purchased the standard package, but was not shown the option for protective packaging. Anyway, the item arrived damaged. I messaged Buyee and they refused to refund me, so I filed a dispute with PayPal. PayPal responded to my dispute saying Tenso, Buyee's parent company, is offering a refund of $885 if I return the item to them. This covers just the cost of the item, and not the cost of shipping itself, which was a different transaction. As a result, it was not included in the initial dispute with PayPal.
My question here is, has anyone returned an item to Buyee after disputing the charge with your credit card company or through PayPal? If so, were you able to get both charges refunded, or just one? Did you have to ship the item back, and if so, did it cost you about the same as it did to ship it to you?

D522 vs D385 difficulty
I took D522 in mid July. I asked my mentor to change my course back to the OA, since I do better with tests than I do with projects, and after a few days of studying, I passed it on my first attempt.
I did the same with D385, and I'm working on the labs now, but I feel like these questions are harder than D522.
For those of you who took the OAs for both, did you also feel D385 was harder? Do you have any advice for passing the OA? I wouldn't say I'm hopelessly struggling, but I've spent around a week trying to find motivation to do this course because I'm not a big fan of Python.

No care in packing expensive items
I purchased this figure on Mercari, which is automatically processed by Buyee. I paid roughly $1,000 for it, after the item cost, plus shipping and tariffs.
The figure arrived today in a mangled box. My hope was that it was just the box, and that Buyee had the wherewithal to put the item in a box larger than the item itself, so there would be room for the box to be somewhat squished and not hurt what's inside. No. The box was barely larger than the box for the figure, with a tiny bit of packing paper and bubble wrap. Absolutely nothing to protect it at all.
I ordered the standard package from Buyee, and I've put in a claim. What are the chances they actually pay up, now that the box is dented and ripped?

Does everyone get this email?
So, I completed the Managing Information Security (D832) course a little while back, for which I had to complete the MasterCard phishing lab. I just got this email saying the quality of my work stood out. Do they send this to everyone as a marketing thing, or did they really think I did stellar work? I barely put any effort in, and honestly felt like I half-assed it. To be honest, it was a completely useless course (the task, not D832 itself).

Struggling with D830 Lab 1.1
I'm currently working on lab 1.1, which requires you to create an RSA key for Pasha and email it to Rina. I've created the key and sent the email, but for some reason, I can't receive the email on Rina's VM. When I click on "get messages," I just receive an error stating it cannot connect to ZYWIN01. Has anyone successfully completed this lab? What am I doing wrong?

Having lots of problems post separation. Nothing seems to help
I was discharged on March 27th as part of the current administration's ban on transgender service members.
I never received a DD-214.
I was promised six months of TAMP benefits, yet MilConnect doesn't let me sign up.
I applied for unemployment, but I was denied because my state (Maryland) claims I'm not a veteran, since I didn't complete my first six-year contract.
We were promised that we'd get to keep our enlistment bonus if we elected to VOLSEP, but my final LES had a $9,000 deduction for a recoupment of my enlistment bonus.
When I separated, VA.gov had an incorrect name on file for me. It took three attempts at contacting them to get them to fix the issue, and after the third attempt, they locked me out of my account, giving me an error that multiple DoDIDs were found for my name.
I contacted my former CoC, and it got me nowhere.
I contacted my congressmember. It got the login issue to VA.gov fixed, but none of the other issues have moved forward.
I contacted the Trans Representation Project at the NIMJ, and while the lawyer I've been speaking with has said she'd be helping me, I haven't seen anything materialize in the month plus since we initially spoke.
What the hell am I supposed to do? I'm in the middle of filing my VA claims, and my VSO is requesting a DD-214 I don't have. I'm unemployed, going to school full time. I can't use my GI bill because it was too late to apply them to the current term. Any more than a few months of this and I'm going to burn through what little savings I have and I'm going to be homeless.

Halfway there!
I've completed sixteen courses in just under three weeks. I COULD have done more, but a couple days were taken off in order to take a breather. I went to the zoo on Sunday, which was fun. There were also a couple days of being idle while waiting for courses to be accelerated or waiting for my in-person exam, since I'm not keen on doing the certification exams at home. ITIL 4 (D336) I passed on Monday, and I just passed Security+ (D329) today. I started on 1 May with 31 classes to go after transferring 24 CUs. I have 15 classes left.
