Dear Diary,
I still procrastinated reading through Confident Coding. I was not disciplined enough.
But I've gotten progress on setting up my lab for practicing cybersecurity skills. I had trouble setting up the windows 11 virtual machine which I would call "the victim" lol. The problem stemmed from not enabling 3D acceleration and not allocating 60MB in virtual memory. Take note, I've been either using too much or too little. It only worked when I allocated 60MB exactly. It worked, sure, but I have no idea *why* it worked. What's so special about the number? I used above and beyond from that and it didn't work. It was always BLACK SCREEN BLACK SCREEN BLACK SCREEN.
In other news, I've gotten back to cooking my own food. Legitimately, I was tired and put off cooking for quite a while--about an hour--before getting out of bed. I know most people do that, but I don't usually. I don't mindlessly scroll through social media apps upon waking up but I did during my independent-but-ordering-food. It was like I was a zombie. I don't ever want to be like that again. I'm going to get back on track.
Just...
don't expect much from me. i still feel awful.
