#introduction as it seems like a good idea.

I'm InfoSec student & intern. I write Python scripts for whatever people want from me.

I'm a big Megadeth fan. I like old CoD games and Quake. Though I suck at Quake.

I wish to post mostly about Linux and cybersecurity but wouldn't limit it to those.

#Linux commands may be hard to get used to!

OTW's "Bandit" offers free challenges to get used to them, whether if you're interested in security or not!

I have been recently assigned to a time-limited task and I think it was one of the rare occasions where I got to see myself "how I do" under pressure and little time.

Result: I do poorly.

Just found something called "lsd" which is a replacement for one of the most basic GNU/Linux commands: "ls"

Usually I'd think why would I want to replace something that I'm so accustomed to, but... it has color and little symbols!!

I recently switched to "doas" and ditched sudo as "sudo is bloated" but now I'm too scared to remove sudo so here I am, using both

Have to develop a game for a class and man is it hard! I guess I will get to call it "experience" in the end but I'm sure I don't want a future in that field...

Learn Web 3 now. Learn it. You worthless nobody, do a favor to yourself and learn Web 3, right now. Just learn it and earn $200k. Do it.

Using #reddit API for a project and man, I love how easy they make things. Basically:

"Don't do anything stupid and don't overload the systems and you're good to go."
