How do you enjoy your time while working abroad? in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

That makes sense! I was thinking about Japan next year or France and I was thinking too that if I go I should probably stay for at least a month bc I’ll be working my ass off lol.

Thank you so much for helping me see the light in this too! Plus it’s kinda cold in Italy anyways so I wouldn’t have dedicated that much time to walking I think lol.

Thank you for smacking me in the face with that solid fact lol that’s so true I’d rather be in Italy eating good ass pasta and working than be here in this small southern town where we have nothing but Walmart. Damn. Thank you seriously for putting that into perspective. I think I was comparing my situation to what I see others do and that’s where I went wrong. It’s a blessing I’m even taking this long of a trip by myself - first time in years I’ve been able to truly save money and actually enjoy it. I hope you have a great day :-)

How do you enjoy your time while working abroad? (alien.top)
 

Weird question I know. Before I accepted this new job, I booked a 10 day trip to Rome, Italy and paid for the Airbnb, flight, reserved a budget for it. I wanted to go out and finally do something. But this new job has us on rotational shifts and it means I’ll have to work from 12pm-9pm on most days and will only have 2 free days. I’m starting to have regret.

How do you find time to enjoy things while having to actually work? It seems like people who are digital nomads are free. I wanted to be able to go out and try diff restaurants, explore, all of that but I won’t be able to

Don’t do that 😭😭😭🤣 I figured if I said a $1000 y’all would drag me. I’ll look into your idea!

Recommendations for a new laptop? (alien.top)
 

My issue is that I need to upgrade my personal laptop. I currently have a refurbished 2020(1?) MacBook Air Intel chip and it provides about 8GB of Ram. That was all I needed when I was just coding. Now that I’m in security and love setting up multiple VMs, I realized I need a lot more horsepower. Also it overheats very quickly with just one chrome browser tab running to the point where I just use my work laptop (M2 Pro).

I saw there was the new M3 Pro and I think one of the models provides 18GB Unified memory but I think I need something like 32GB RAM bare minimum.

I want to be able to set up security onion for instance and have the ability to set up pentesting labs where I have multiple machines running at once. So that’s where non-MacBooks catch my idea but I don’t know which one to get?

Any suggestions? My budget is <= $2500-3k

Do you guys mention your home labs on your resume? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum
[–] Uninhibited_lotus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes I did. I applied for an entry level security researcher role and I had zero security experience and def put my home labs on there. I had an Active Directory lab for pentesting as well as Docker containers running vulnerable web apps. They said my passion and drive demonstrated by the home labs and my blog is what got me the job
