40 Years of My Cars Summarized in Pivot Tables and Charts

40 Years of My Cars

Why do this?

I started compiling a list of my cars, and I was curious what insights I might have with a statistical analysis of it. When I was nearing completion, having learned what I had wanted, I thought there might be a higher use of this. I think it is a good example of using a free compatible spreadsheet, LibreOffice Calc, doing analysis using pivot tables and charts.

When did this happen?

This happened right after I said "good-bye" to my Mercedes E320.

Security Onion Evaluation

Security Onion

While prepping for CySA+, I worked with this open source SIEM in a simulated environment. I was intrigued and wanted to give it a try.

Tonight, I installed a Proxmox virtual machine to run the evaluation installation of Security Onion 2.4.7 from: https://securityonionsolutions.com/software. The download is nearly 12 Gb, which I downloaded to /var/lib/vz/templates/iso/ so that I could pick the ISO file to install a virtual machine.
