PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

Wow, congrats, that's a major accomplishment!

I never did get my voucher to work. What did you think of the exam?
Next time that happens be sure to email Stephen! It like it was more "managerial" than hands-on. I thought the PBQs were perfectly appropriate and actually enjoyed doing them for once.

You know the ole saying, if it's free, it's for me! :eek:🤣🤣

AND! I can get paid to advertise it on TikToK! WOW! Nothing weird about that!🤦‍♂️
Yeah, just make sure you use your alternative alias - the one that purports you to be a 50-something Innuit woman with ten kids, living near Nome, Alaska.

PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

I had DataX scheduled for today, the last day before the voucher expired. When I went to sign in, it seemed that I had registered for 7AM and not 7PM, so I was marked as a "No Show" for the exam.
That's terrible. Have you tried calling them to explain? Maybe they can make an exception.

Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

Truer words have never been spoken!
And trust me, if they had been, they'd be in my TTT material :cool:
Jason you know I have always had great respect for you. I didn't have nearly enough time to study so I mostly went through the courseware and the labs, but had I thought of it ahead of time... YOU MAN!!!

Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

Man, with what you've taken, you passing is the smart money. Did you go through @jasoneckert 's TTT ahead of it?

Congrats on passing. That's another one!

I've now passed 77 exams, but please remember that until a few years ago I was nearly exclusively a Microsoft guy. Yes, I played with Linux 25 years ago, and I use Kali and Parrot for cybersecurity stuff... but I never managed the disks or or users or containers or users (I mean managing users in a day to day environment, not just creating accounts). I also haven't used Linux servers too much since 2004.

And no, I did not use Jason's material... but I should have!

For the record: You are right, I brushed up on Docker and stuff. I did get one AI question. I had NO fun with the exam, was 100% convinced when I pressed END that I had failed. How I actually passed (and by a decent margin) I will never know! :) But alas, I have to teach the course this week, so I suppose failure was NOT an option ;)
That's probably why I'm taking so much time to study for the version 8 exam. The last thing I want to do is fail a beginner exam after years of working on Linux since 2007.

Krebs had a great posting regarding the Superbox, supposedly, to provide free streaming access to just about everything you can imagine. But...when it's free, YOU are the product. The sad thing about it is that folks are going to probably buy these things up. Meanwhile, it might be an interesting toy for a cyber class to look at in a sandbox.

Pretty wicked this thing, though.

Read about it...and tell me what you think.
