I'm 2 years into my it career. I have a bit of experience from personal and work stuff before that but never as full-time employment. I started as an IT technician and I'm now a network administrator for a midsize company after getting promoted.

Most of my work has really been focused around security at this job, considering it essentially had been left untouched since the mid-2000s. It's not particularly high level security stuff, but things like configuring, firewalls, tightening security policies or creating them implementing endpoint security, managing that endpoint security, email filtering dmark dkim setting up pen testing vendors and a whole bunch of other things.

None of it's super technical but I do find it interesting. I'm listening to security podcasts and read up on security in my free time. That said, I'm a bit older coming into this and have about 7 years of Prior non-it management experience.

Technically because of some security Management experience I meet the requirements probably for the cissp.

But I don't know whether it's better to leverage management experience and try to become an I.t manager or if it's beneficial go towards my interest which is security.

I have no interest in working as a level 1 soc analyst that feels like a dead end and pretty dull.

What do you think?

Also, apologies for any formatting issues. I'm using voice to speech while holding my sleeping baby.

How would you try to play this as lithuanians? I'm around 1200 rn and I basically always scout rush then adapt. I tried pikes and monks instead and got destroyed. Gave up all map presence lost the relics and got ground down with castle drops.

Hey guys im moving out of the country and I can't bring my guns. I have a small collection of ww2 milsurp. NY has made it do I can't really post them online. There are only a handful of gun shops near me all fudds.

Not sure what options I have to sell these. Should I try to sell them at a gun show? Take them to PA? Its about 10 guns in total so nothing crazy. More interested in getting them sold at a reasonable price than maximizing the money from them.

in Buffalo

all will be listed at firing pin next week. thanks for the suggestions people!

I inherited a very neglected environment at this job and essentially have come to take ownership of the network here from a more general support role. We are having an issue with many users having unstable connections very sporadically on teams and zoom. I've increased our network throughput from an average of sub 40mbps to approximately 850-950mbps. I've replaced all of our 20ish year old unmanaged dell switches with updated managed ubiquiti switches. None of this made any effect. It occurs on ethernet and on wifi. We have redundant ISP's as well so its unlikely one ISP dropping causes the issue but I haven't ruled out the delay between switching between them as a culprit. It happens across different devices. I've run continuous pings for hours and what I see is multi second occasional drops but no real information on why its occurring. I have access to auvik, ubiquiti, firewall logs, traffic monitoring but haven't been able to pin point it since it happens infrequently and for different users and is so short that the situation is resolved by the time I respond. But the drop is enough that users on important meetings drop the calls and have to rejoin. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I'm looking for a way to determine if its a networking issue or if its a device issue like EDR.

I'm looking for information on the border guard system and the beacons for a project and am having difficulty finding information.

Hey guys anyone know a mod that makes the AI a bit more challenging? I want to practice new civs and not have it be a cake walk. I get time for very few uninterrupted multiplayer games now.

I know barbarian ai is or was a think but its many years out of date. Any suggestions welcome though the closer I can keep it to a regular 1v1 the better.
