Saying Goodbye To Android Development TLDR: Google account verification now puts developer personal details (full name, email, address, and phone number) on the play store for the public. I think this is ridiculous and unsafe so as of writing (9/8/2024) I've decided to let go off my Android development hobby. Ok let's back
Trying New Things If you have talked to me over the past year or so you know I'm on a big "own my data" kick. Not in the scrub myself off the internet way because of work, but more so I don't want everything in the cloud. This isn't anything new either. I
Why I Go To Chain React I'll start this off by saying that I realize nobody has asked me this question. Probs not even a lot of people who care but I want to talk about it anyway because I really enjoyed going for the past 3yrs and I've always left with something to try in
My Thoughts on Troubleshooting I had to take a few days to write this. I’ll also say if you feel personally attacked by the end of this thats on you and I can’t do anything about it. In my 11yrs in tech I’ve noticed a skill that the best of the
A DevOps Coding Challenge You might be reading this title and like me thinking "How is this a thing?". After talking to the company and asking clarifying questions I felt ok about it. A week ago I did the challenge and I just wanted to give my thoughts on it. TLDR: I actually thought
Hour 12-14: Networking Gone Wrong More homelab hours....I hope I'm right on the number of hours. I'm probs not though
Compose Multiplatform You might have thought I was done with mobile development talk. NEVER! lol Anyway I want to take this time to talk about my feels towards Compose Multiplatform and what I'm hoping happens over the near future. What is Compose Multiplatform? Compose Multiplatform (CMM) is a cross platform development solution
What's Next? A thing I've been thinking about a lot more is "what's next?". From my personal point of view I got pretty far with mobile development, but upon switching to devops I feel like that chart of constant growth hasn't really existed. I feel like I've plateaued and can't figure out
dev ops EC-CDE Initial Review I just started studying for the CDE but I had so many thoughts I just need to get out.
KMM or CMM? That is the Question Over the past year I've made quite a few apps using kotlin multiplatform (KMM), but recently I used compose multiplatform (CMM). I want to talk about my feels for both and which I think you should use. What is KMM? KM is a way to write common backend/bridge to
Hour 11: Fixing Mistakes This will be a really short update for me (shocker). I kinda forgot when you unplug things the IP address will be dynamically assigned again. Well...I lost the "original" IP address of my server. I really forgot because in the cloud I use static ips and it just never
HomeLab Update Happy New Year! I'm not counting this post under my homelab hours just because. I do want to say that documentation is important though and I wanted to start the new year focused on that. So what's new? Nothing really. I plan to upgrade my phone so I'm just getting
I Passed the ISC2 CC The title says it all. I'm writing this as I wait on the second level of approval from the org, but I got the initial congrats you passed. The test wasn't bad at all and I'm glad I took it even if I was just "doing things". Let me just
Feeling Stuck I feel stuck like mostly people. If you feel stuck your not alone. We can get through this.
Hour 2-10: Research & New Router This blog post is a little weird to be honest. I've lost track of how much time I've spent on this endevour. I also believe that you should count research/learning and not just active work. If you can't find value in learning then maybe your learning the wrong stuff.
certs Comptia Sec+ v ISC2 CC My thoughts on the Comptia Sec+ vs ISC2 Certified Cybersecurity certifications.
100DaysOfHomelab 100 Days of Homelab Starting 100 Days of Homelab. Here are my rules and first update.
Random Check-in I haven't checked in for months. Life just got a bit hectic and I just been heads down really. At this point my days are either work and school, competition and school, or just competition. I think I'm ok with it since I do plan on doing grad school next
Speaking Again Recently I have done things that I have sworn off...speaking. Why have I done this? I really have no clue, but it's been pretty fun talking about dev and devops (clearly things I really love). The first request was from my buddy Daniel to speak to a class at
