I needed a syslog server and had been reading about ELK for the past few months. I finally decided to throw together a basic implementation in my home lab. I've recorded my notes for this process in this document & dumped the notes online at the following locations:
The implementation I built is super basic, it's just in my lab for dev purposes atm - so I didn't finish securing or building the integrations - just needed it to visualize some syslog data ATM.

This is an opinionated guide to learning about computer security (independently of a university or training program), starting with the absolute basics (suitable for someone without any exposure to or knowledge of computer security) and moving into progressively more difficult subject matter.
It seems that most people don't realize how much information is actually available on the internet. People love to share (especially geeks) and everything you need to become well versed in computer security is already available to you (and mostly for free). However, sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest part - which is the problem that this guide is intended to address. Therefore, this guide can accuratley be described as a 'guide to guides', with additional recommendations on effective learning and execises, based on my own experiences.
Many of the free resources are the best resources and this guide focuses on them. It is intended to provided a comprehensive

I'm completely new to home ownership & woodworking. I've tried to tackle a few projects myself & bought a couple tools in the process, but mostly still have no idea what I'm doing. My garage is a currently a complete mess. I've put some stuff up on the walls to make more space and start organizing, but I don't have any decent shelves and the "workbench" is currently just a storage area (leaving me no place to work). The surface of the workbench is warped and there are no vices or clamps making it a less than ideal work surface anyway.
I've started doing some research and dumping the notes here as I (very slowly) make progress.
