Hired as a junior sysadmin but it feels like they actually need an IT manager... am I overreacting?

Holy shit I cant say that enough about Powershell. If you're managing Windows machines in a corporate environment, powershell will make you seem like a wizard.

For OP, Check out the book "Learn Powershell in a month of lunches". Each chapter is setup to be read in 30 minutes with a 30 minute exercise. That book has saved my butt on more than one occasion with the skills I learned.

Woah, naw 130 meters is not far at all for an AR-15. Max effective range for a point target is 500 meters, meaning you can accurately hit an average sized person at that range. If you have something like a standard issued trijicon ACOG RCO, look at the BDC (Bullet Drop Compensation) lines go all the way to 800m. Interestingly enough too, the width of those lines is the width of an average person's shoulders at that range.

Theres a couple of mistakes there. For example, a Bronze star would be above the Navy Marine Corps Achivement ribbon since its a much more prestigious medal. I cant tell what the devices are but this is the stack.

Row 1

  1. Navy Marine Corps Achievement Ribbon

Row 2

  1. Navy Marine Corps Combat Action Ribbon
  2. Navy Marine Corps Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon
  3. Marine Corps Good Conduct Ribbon

Row 3

  1. National Defense Service Ribbon
  2. Iraq Campaign Ribbon
  3. Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Ribbon

Row 4

  1. Global War on Terrorism Service Ribbon
  2. Humanitarian Service Ribbon
  3. Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon

I wouldn't say that the equipment is faulty, it just doesn't come with an owners manual. If you can find a copy, chapter 6 is called "Poking the Prostate" it goes into great detail about how to go all day and have multiple orgasms. Turns out the engineers just have a sense of humor on where they placed the components.

My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...

I wish I had setup an identity management system sooner. Been self-hosting for years and about a year ago took the full plunge into setting up all my services behind Authentik. Its a game changer not having to deal with all the usernames and passwords.

In a similar vein, before Authentik, I used Vaultwarden to manage all my credentials. That was also a huge game changer with my significant other. Being able to have them setup their own account and then share credentials as an organization is super handy.

Something like this. This is a compose.yml that only allows ips from the local host 8080 to connect to the container port 80.

services:
  webapp:
    image: nginx:latest
    container_name: local_nginx
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:80"

Believe it or not..... it's actually not particularly difficult to make it through basic. The military puts a lot of time and money into getting you there and they want to recoup that. If they kick you out, there goes their investment. For a period of time, they accepted ASVAB waivers. For those unaware, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is the intelligence test you're given to make sure you're mentally fit to serve. We had a gunny that we found out scored in the 26th percentile. The man could hardly form a coherent sentence. Making it into the military isn't as difficult as people would believe (barring medical and criminal records, can't escape those).
