I am already pretty excited

Have been saving up money for a year now

itll be fun for sure

any idea waht specs youre getting

Yeah just don't know where I am gonna put the server. I was thinking eithef my Room or the living room but I would have to ask my parents cuz i am still underage and live with them😅

nice those are reall ygood specs

dual booting mac os?

No KVM

I recently got a mac os up and running via virtual box

works really well

I do a lot of compiling for iphone via it

I would do that if my apartment was big enough. I already have a storage rack that I put all my computer and networking equipment that takes up a lot of room. Only place I could put a server rack would partially block my front door.

I have been using Virtual box for a while but i wasn't really happy with it so i am gonna switch to kvm

I definitely prefer KVM for virtualization

i prefer virutalization strictly for the space saving

and not needing all these boxes lying around

I have to use multiple computers for my virtualization need because currently the only system that could run lots of virtualization is my workstation. I use that for running large VMs when I'm testing stuff for school or research but I don't want my 24/7 VMs running on it.

yeah luckily i dont need the vm's running 24/7 so virtualization is a good option for me. I really only need to spin them up when I need to cross compile

I probably only have five or six VMs I run 24/7. Thankfully they are pretty lightweight but there's some stuff I'd like to run 24/7 that I just don't have the compute power/RAM for.

Actually I do have one vm I forgot about that I leave running 24/7 but in that case I just have it running on an ec2 instance 24/7

I'm curious, why do you choose to use AWS versus one of the many alternatives like digital ocean? I like the alternatives because the price modeling is clear and simple.

Didn’t look too heavily into it tbh. Knew aws could do what I needed so I just spun up an instance and put it on my company card. If I were paying for it Out of pocket I would definitely have looked into the price modeling more

Anyone here in cyber security?

IIRC David is

I am getting my master's in cyber security

Nice. Do you think the Comp TIA's are adequate to get started in the field? Specifically Security+.

It's not the top cert most places are looking for but I have seen some ask for it and it's easier to get then many because it doesn't have an experience requirement. If you don't also have a degree I think it wouldn't hurt and probably help.

shiiiit

When I worked in the defense industry I got security+, i didn't think it was tough per se but there was an assload of info to know IMO

both technical and non technical

im not cyber security tho just software developer
