*whelp* I guess this is what I get for getting my hopes up about that automotive locksmith job. I got passed over, after 3 interviews and a ride along. This was the closest I got to getting a job in a year now, it's hard to keep trying when this just keeps happening.
This was for the automotive locksmith job that I got fantastic advice from @deviantollam, that helped me get to the final stage of the process, but couldn't get me past that.
I'm just running out of energy to keep trying in my job search. Shit, I can't even get a interview at a local fucking grocery store, let alone trying to go back to Best Buy where I was previously. Hell, the temp/staffing agencies can't even place me. We need another income, and I just don't know what to do anymore.
I'm almost certain a part of my feeling unemployable is due to being trans, in the social climate that is Oklahoma, and the politicization of my existence, but like I just can't just say that's the only hurdle. There is obviously something else wrong with me or what I'm doing, I just don't even know what else at this point.
Just feeling so defeated. I need something to come through for me.
All well, Happy Pride 2024 to me.

So, I'm considering taking some risks and leaning into setting up AD and domain on my home network, with my homelab.
I'm concerned about what risks I should watch out for, and things I should keep in mind while setting it up and configuring it. My only hands on experience with setting that stuff up, was in a lab setting for one of my classes for school, and it was a very basic overview, and didn't cover the security risk side of things.
I don't really have a huge need or reason to do this, largely just curious about the setup and management of a dozen or so computers on a small network like this.
Also concerned about configuring my network shares for Android devices that exist on the network, that access the shares for media streaming as well.

*sigh* tonight really could be going better for me. Headspace starting to tank, not entirely because of the job info I got today (which really sucks, but tbh, was slightly expected, and only a matter of time).
Suddenly feeling shitty about my appearance and dysphoric over it. Probably not being helped by my lack of estrogen in a year, due to doctors office dicking me around, and then my insurance getting shut off, and now no possible chance of getting back to work, and getting my insurance back.
On top of that, the permanent loss of that insurance, which also would of covered all the transition related care/surgeries I needed as well, which... was more encompassing than most insurance coverage as well. I just... *sigh* I don't know wtf to do at this point.
The weirdest part... The thing that triggered the dysphoria, was Catherine Zeta-Jones' character in Oceans Twelve (Isabel Lahiri), and like, the part that god me at first, was her outfits, but then... her nose. Her fucking nose of all god damn things!
I don't know... I'm just... maybe it's just compounding and making me feel especially worse tonight cause of everything.

Does anyone know of possible CTFs happening during Hacker Summer Camp, that are open to non-attendees online and free to participate in?
I haven't gotten my teeth into a live ctf in a while, and I miss it, the friendly competition is fun.

So, I extremely hate to ask for assistance here like this, and I was holding out sharing this, for the sake of infosec job prospects I had, that fell through now. But my wife and I, are currently trapped in Oklahoma, and it's becoming more dangerous for us regularly here, and with me unable to perform physical, in person work due to long COVID, I'm coming here, asking for assistance.
Thank you.
