Before I moved into big tech space I wasn't familiar with the role grade of security architect, and neither was my prior company. They had an architecture team where those within it were enterprise/security architects. I think that's perfectly fine tbh, but I suppose could be confusing if you come from tech world.

Maybe some HM's would think that. I wouldn't tbh. Your entrepreneurial spirit might even be a benefit. If they like you as a candidate but are worried about any conflicts of interest they will just ask you. You'll just need a confident response to allay any potential fears.

To be clear, Unity ain’t why i didn’t choose Ubuntu, that’s just what others commented. My reasons are articulated in my note 😁. So if anything you’re making fun of some other folks haha.

Interesting, this is something I've yet to do. I've been seeing some interesting news about Asahi Linux for M1 macs im interested in trying out though.

Honestly. All of the above. If you have time for OSCP. Swing for it. It’s definitely a good one to have on the resume. When you’re ready to look for gigs, apply to both pentesting roles and really anything security-related. Breaking in is the hardest part but once you have some XP it’s easier to move about.

Not sure what you mean by “reputation”. But generally I think it’s hard for anyone to like their Dentist visit. Even a “checkup” typically involves a cleaning which is invasive and uncomfortable. This is compounded by the fact that people don’t take care of their teeth so feedback from dentists is almost always poor. I don’t think Dentists have a bad rep, but I can safely say I don’t look forward to my visits 😅

I got some comments like this - https://floss.social/@LovesTha/110856831841070210. Also some snap and Unity complaints. I don’t have anything against Ubuntu, in fact I’ve always enjoyed using it in the past. Fedora has been nice so far though.

Turns out I just needed to hard reboot 🤦‍♂️

Did some teaching on the side a while back. Busy but kinda fun for a bit.

Try one with no algorithm. Mastodon is a good start for this. Fill your timeline with what you love.

Congrats! Getting some momentum is usually the hardest part. I've been pretty regularly going to the gym since last October and I can safely say I have a decent groove now. Plus the results have been pretty good so far. You didn't ask, but here's what I've been doing for the most part - https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/08/08/current-training-splits
