Schools and open source:
"Why, after all, proprietary software developers offer gratis copies of their nonfree programs to schools? Because they want to use the schools to implant dependence on their products, like tobacco companies distributing cigarettes to school children. They will not give gratis copies to these students once they've graduated... Once you're dependent, you're expected to pay, and future upgrades may be expensive."

@lupyuen thanks! I didn't realize this was a thing. Making the jump from scripting to programing has been on my 'things I want to do list' for a while! I might need to do baby steps first but at least this gives me something to aim for.
@lupyuen soon as I finish my degree I think I'm going to try getting my hands on one of these and work on learning it.
I hadn't seen anyone post this yet but I may have missed it. Pretty good looking cloud bundle over at humblebundle. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/aws-azure-google-and-cloud-security-books?hmb_source=search_bar #humblebundle
@fribbledom Thanks for sharing. The parts I was able to catch between work and catching the spawn were really interesting.

@alsternerd @brainblasted @gemlog have either of you tried one of these yet? I've been debating on getting one to study off of or trying to dig and find something with an Eink screen. @PINE64
Aspiring System Admin, Software Developer, Network Administrator and/or Cyber Security Professional...in other words one day I'll know what I want to be when I grow up.
For now I tinker.
