  • Never heard of them but I'll have a wee look and get in touch with them by treeterracedhouses (Mon 20th Jan 2020 2:51pm)
  • I know a few people who have been burned (sending things signed delivery but the buyer alleging they haven't received it). eBay side with the buyer and I have no history selling things on eBay so if I can get money in my hand locally that's the preference. by treeterracedhouses (Mon 20th Jan 2020 2:50pm)
  • Shadow of the Collosus and Ico special editions (the ones with the art card) and MGS3: Subsistence. They were both sought after once upon a time so worth more than the £3 CeX are offering I reckon by treeterracedhouses (Mon 20th Jan 2020 4:57pm)
  • I knew MGS3 has been re-released but I always thought that the disk with the original 2 metal gear games was the rare part? Was that also re-released? by treeterracedhouses (Mon 20th Jan 2020 8:00pm)
  • Nah unfortunately not by treeterracedhouses (Tue 21st Jan 2020 6:29am)
  • Just to add to everyone else. Wife gave birth at the height of lockdown, she was induced and in the hospital 24hrs before I was in the delivery room with her. It is tough going and touch and go incase she suddenly went in to labour overnight. I don't know your circumstances but lockdown is no where near as bad so I don't think you'll be alone. Good luck by treeterracedhouses (Sat 31st Oct 2020 5:48pm)
  • Aww shit are you the person I replied to a few months back about giving birth and you were worried your partner couldn't come in to the delivery room? Also getting a tiny bit of freedom is the best feeling, just wait until they have regular bed times it's like being a teenager again by treeterracedhouses (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 11:10am)
  • Nice one, it's great he was there for the actual delivery. The rest of it must have been tough but still better than it could have been. Enjoy your small bits of freedom while you can by treeterracedhouses (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 11:55am)
  • +1 for diyuk. I spend a lot of time in this sub and can promise you there is no such thing as a question too basic or too stupid. Only ever seen genuine attempts to help out, by treeterracedhouses (Sun 23rd May 2021 8:32pm)
  • I grew up with Raemonn Gormley, an innocent boy who was stabbed to death in Blantyre 10 years ago. He was mugged for his phone and his wallet and was stabbed to death as a result. The person he was with was fortunately safe physically but he now carries the mental scars of that encounter for all his days. I would love to hear your mental gymnastics as to why you believe either of those individuals were in that life because I assure you you couldn't find 2 people further away from it. You'd do well to readjust your attitude. Prick by treeterracedhouses (Thu 21st Oct 2021 11:24am)
  • I would like to repeat OPs question, but for Saturday night. I'm going to see London Grammar at the O2 Academy. I reckon driving in from Lanarkshire will be my best option. Anyone know where I will be best parking? Am I bes to avoid the M74 and drive through Rutherglen? by treeterracedhouses (Thu 4th Nov 2021 6:25pm)
  • Going to see London Grammar tonight at the O2 academy. Will be driving in from South Lanarkshire. Anyone know what that part of Glasgow is like? Can I get away with takin gthe M74 or will I be better driving through Rutherglen? by treeterracedhouses (Sat 6th Nov 2021 9:02am)
  • So what you're saying is jump in my delorean and get ready to travel back in time 50 years by treeterracedhouses (Sat 6th Nov 2021 1:54pm)
  • I have a PS2, a controller, few games and a memory card if you want to DM me by treeterracedhouses (Mon 24th Jan 2022 6:10pm)
  • Clydesdale Bank (before it became Virgin Money at least). Rampant bullying and managers regularly promoted to the point of incompetence. Not sure if it's different since the change to Virgin Money but Guildhall was a particular caustic place to work by treeterracedhouses (Tue 1st Feb 2022 3:16pm)
  • Good quality chopped tinned tomatoes, evoo, fresh basil, fresh garlic, salt and pepper. Not necessarily Paesano is but I am Italian and pretty much what any good pizzeria puts on their pizza by treeterracedhouses (Thu 5th May 2022 12:05am)
  • Anyone know anywhere that can print spiral bound notes bigger than A4 (but not A3)? Gave a tonne of notes for an open book exam and would like to print things better than a shitey wee home printer by treeterracedhouses (Thu 9th Jun 2022 12:30pm)
  • Asking again hoping someone might know. Anywhere locally that prints spiral bound notebooks? Size slightly larger than A4 (not A3). Have a lot of notes for an exam I want printed by treeterracedhouses (Fri 10th Jun 2022 9:14am)
  • Hey OP, I've worked in the industry for about 8 years now. I came from an IT background but self-taught Cyber Sec. I agree with other commenters, a degree apprenticeship is a good area to focus if you are lucky to wrangle one. A degree is good as well. I'm not too sure I would put much credence into places like FDM Group (I know someone who went through one of their programmes and doesn't rate it what so ever) but since Capslock has backing from the NCSC that is a huge green flag for me. The first thing I would do is have a look at things like the SANS roadmap and maybe get an idea of what path you want to go down. Cyber Sec is such a huge industry with about 5 or 6 distinct disciplines. There is obviously overlap between them but not too much. https://www.sans.org/cyber-security-skills-roadmap/ They all share baseline knowledge and for that I would recommend CompTIA Sec+. Sec+ is an inch deep and a mile wide but putting yourself through it will give you a decent foundational across pretty much all disciplines. The course is only around £300 and the certification attempts are ~£240. There is a decent looking YouTube playlist that I reckon you could probably use instead of buying the course. You can also find a lot of free tests online you can use to practice so you can do the whole thing pretty cheap. https://youtu.be/9Hd8QJmZQUc As others have said Hack The Box is also really good, a very popular resource and for good reason. I'd definitely wait until you've watched the above playlist to help you conceptualise a lot of the practical elements. Beyond that I would check out this website which shows you a tonne of different courses across the different disciplines, from there you can see if any courses pique your interest and are cheap enough to try Doing these things might not help you find work, but they certainly will give you a leg up on things like Uni courses or schemes like Capslock. You might get lucky though. There is a lot of continuous training and development in Cyber Sec and you are expected to self learn, so the fact you picked yourself up from nothing might put you in good standing. If you are confident enough in your abilities I would still apply for work. Security Operations Analyst is a great place to start. This is the Level 1 Service Desk equivalent in Security (again, it's an inch deep, mile wide, soul destroying job if you do it for too long) but you can use it as a jumping off point to pretty much all of the other Security disciplines. If you do ever get an interview make sure you know exactly what you should do if you find malware on a PC. That's been a question I've been asked in every interview from my L1 positions all the way up to my current senior position On Monday I'll DM you a tonne of other good resources I use (videos, podcasts, blogs etc.) To help you passively develop understanding of the industry as a whole. Best of luck mate by treeterracedhouses (Sat 4th Mar 2023 6:38pm)
