Deployed server… Just like old times.

I’ve been working on a bit to make a self hosting cloud server and with the help of cloudflare, it’s possible now since internet doesn’t allow static Ip’s and auto-block of ports, instead of waiting for google fiber, I have been working on a custom script / app that tunnels everything.

Means, I can host IRC again, like the old days, email I may still use proton mail to route as I am on some ancient email databroker that just wont go away. But all my web hosts are coming home finally after 20 years.

For stress testing I am currently testing and potentially releasing a community server.

In thought of this direction makes it easier to shift move and have downtime but still able to keep the tunnel alive no matter where I go from Vegas or back to Oregon.

Other news, I’ve been growing Vegas Hackware, I kinda put TougeSW on the back burner.

Fur baby, and the trauma that follows

Recently, my brother’s dog passed away and how it went down was the most cowardice I’ve faced and it shouldn’t have happened. His dog should be his responsibility, and should treat the dog as if it was part of the family.  The dog was Molly, and she was on the brink of her death bed. When I brought her in she was barely moving normally full of energy but that night she reminded me of a moment before I was diagnosed what kind of cancer I had and being extremely weak. He waited all day for me to call his recommended vet that he could have done already, as I was taking in soo much heat at work already I had to do this too. 

Then again, it comes with a saying, trust a snake to bite, trust a wolf to attack, trust a thief to be a thief, trust a liar to be a liar. I know who they are, regardless they are my last blood family left. I trust them to a point to know they are not there for me. They are there to ride what I make and enslave my kindness because they can. The more I am not home, the more I can separate myself from them, the better I will be off until I can figure out how I can finally take my cars and disappear as my mom was right, back in 2017 she did say I would regret it, but I had no other choice at the time as I also regret taking in being coaxed into taking in a friend who had a mental breakdown before I knew the whole details until after he moved in about how he took a fucking little kid hostage in his mental illness attack, I didn’t expect that he would literally attempt to kill me. 

Ever since they moved in my finances went sideways, I’ve been more traumatically shocked than ever. They keep piling more on me when I am working, enslaving myself to work I don’t like doing and trying my hardest to shuffle my finances to keep me from losing my house. 

The sad part is, I bought this house as a bridge to resell after 5 – 10 years, so I can move back to Oregon and do my “revenge” career plot to become successful and put the business partner who drove me back to vegas after attempting to kill me and ruin my career back in 2011. 

I can’t keep doing this anymore, I can’t take this bullshit from my dad’s attempt to take his own life and my brother’s depression, let alone refusal to listen to me,refusal to support me and disrespect me constantly in my own house that I’ve bought… after I’ve spent years, decades supporting them, I am still supporting them when I can’t afford it not to mention My uncle needs a better caretaker, I can’t afford nor do anything on my end as if I lose my job now we all will be homeless. 

I didn’t expect my plans to go completely off the rails. 

But here I am, stuck in fucking hell yet again..

Welcome to Vegas, I hate this place.

Hello!

It’s been another year since I was forced back to Vegas, been since 2011 I’ve been back. If I held my ground back then, I wouldn’t allowed a shallow old guy take advantage of my kindness and wellbeing, then threatened my life and career I would have been thriving up there in Bend Oregon at least.

Vegas, it’s filled with both money and the money chasers, a mob driven town that turned this place into the biggest little city in the world.

But not anymore…  It has been in the works for the longest time to turn this into the “Tortuga” town for the rich.  Tortuga is a pirate town, similar to Nassau of the old pirate legends and a mixer of Dubai. At least from my point of view, the rich wants to kick out locals that isn’t up to par with the spending and anyone who can’t afford their level.  I’ve seen this coming, it is what it is, I really don’t give a shit anymore.

Why do I hate this place so  much? top 5 reasons why:

  1. Bad Mindsets:  Mindset of some people that live here, moved here and expecting more.
  2. Bad Vibes: Vibes even my neighbors are bad, racists, and just straight up mean.
  3.  Bad People: Vegas is a hard town if you combine both 1 + 2 it is what I feel  like why I isolate myself from, to thrive you have to exploit people and rob them.
  4. Always Bad Weather: Vegas Heat, I cry the moment it hit’s 90F and it’s not even May because it brings me to the memory of living in central Oregon that was stripped from me.
  5. Entrapment: When you are stuck in the struggle of survival, it’s hard to thrive and almost impossible to thrive, as this town is filled with the breaking bad Saul Goodman’s and Gustavo Frings.  No one wants to help you get thriving, they rather exploit you and thrive on your struggle.

I am working on my way out, currently I am stuck with family who seem to be apart of the list and wanting to do nothing more but to keep me also in the struggle of survival.  They know this and they treat me as if I am some type of joke, I can’t ask them to leave because they forced situations on my lap that is becoming way too much for me to handle.

I’ve written 2 books so far and published them, now I am creating music with my words and making AI sing them. I am crying out for help, all I need is that helping hand.  This isn’t your typical struggle bus, this is a bad family circle that needs to break and I refuse to be the center of it all.   I ether need to become homeless again or find an opportunity soo good that I can drop everything from Vegas and move back to Oregon, I know it has to exist.

I would love it to be option number 2, but I can’t keep this up sooner or later I am going to become homeless and I’ve tried my best to prevent it, just when no one wants to listen or take action, this is why I am stuck while everyone’s unstable mental illness has cursed me and my home per-se.  I have a Father’s who has been on suicide watch September of last year, my brother who I have no idea what he is doing, but is suffering from a massive depression and now my uncle is being forced  to move in as he is on the major spectrum and needs assistance in his living as he is 79 years old now while I work 10 hours days on a role I despise so much (I am extremely burned out), on a paycheck that is placed me on a struggle from paycheck to paycheck.  I feel a lot of times in my own home I am on house arrest, maybe that is due to the nature of growing up with this family and my own abuse I’ve taken from that old times that keep resurfacing.

Shit, they refused to call me by my name and treat me as if I am a joke.

And to think, I didn’t buy this house for the family to move in, this time, I bought this house to resell later on and move back to Oregon and disappear.

Vegas, the fun and the thoughts of dread.

As simple as they say, I just simply can’t keep doing this.

Last friday night,I was leaving work a bit early and driving home.

I am in tears because I am having a flood of emotions come in, so much of traumic pain flooding through my thoughts with a mental exhausting of I am really tired of this.

I am tired, burned out.

I am 46, my mom passed away at59, and her mom at the same age and I keep telling myself that I am just too tired, I am also deathy afraid.

I’ve lost alot of my life from cancer battle to the whole traumatic experience lead by Marty.

I know I can’t keep doing this, I want to scream this so badly.

I may have 10 years on this planet left maybe more depending on the luck of the draw, I am barely holdong on.

So many thoughts of sadness, fear and… it keeps piling on.

If only, I had career growth again…

If only I had a friend I could get help on a rapid growth in a career field.

Hey look, it is a saturday morning,

so I woke up… I was in deep tears of as if I had a lucid nightmare of a dream.

In this dream I was experiencing a life that I was reliving my child hood… but wait this wasn’t my child hood. It was more advanced, perhaps it was a subconscience reflection of what I did want growing up?

I don’t recall but in the dream I was crying badly and I woke up that way.

Maybe it wasn’t a nightmare.

Today I have been masking my pain, but it was starting to sleep as I was trying to focus on getting some responsibilities done.

I needed to fix the virtual machine, touch grass on conan, and focus on my car.

Wait, my turbo kit shown up… it’s here!

I am way far behind on my bucket list, I wished I had help as I am burned out and feeling well over welmed.

I miss Oregon so badly, it is also hurting me today too. I want to go back so bad as it has been 16 years now.

If, Only if Mister McGee didn’t attempt to kill me and ruin my career reputation. I would be there still, living a better life.

If only I knew before hand that he was nothing more than a con artist and a pshycotic human being…. I would still be there.

So many thoughts, so much I need over wants right now, so much pain, so much suffering, so much fear.

No one is there to give me that hug and tell me it’s ok,  no one to lift that wrench and help me get my goals achieved.  No one to give me that chance to greatness.

“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!” -Rocky Balboa

Looking back in 2025 vs what to aim for in 2026

Hello there,

Did I reach my goal for 2025?

In some what not all the way, my ultimate goal is yo move back to Central Oregon where I was forced out. But some things did happen like some debt was cleared, focus on my own cars to be ready for the move back north has began, I still have 1 more car to get opperational.

My ultimate goal for 2026 is to move north back to central oregon.

My TougeSW isn’t sucessfull at all, it’s been on a standstill for a while but it is more of a vlog than anything else. But if I end back up to the PNW it will revert to TougeNW.

Reason I want to go back so badly is that PNW felt more of home than Vegas ever had, the Vegas Heat has been devistating to me, and it feels and has always felt like a prison in Vegas. The people are extremely ungreatful and it’s only growing bigger. Vegas is never for me, I may have been born and rasied here just this isn’t my town I just simply don’t belong here.

in 2026 I am looking to expand and looking for opporunities still to move back to central oregon. Ontop of that I am looking to start my “Slide America” tour with my drift car, release of my second book detailing the whole lvnet network of what I’ve shaped when I was there and a potential concept release of a game I’ve been working on when I am bored at times.

Life’s work

Here I am writing another page in my second book and this came to me and I figured it is worth sharing.

There is alot, and I do mean alot of of small things in my life that are actually a lot bigger and with ignorance I took it for granted and should share my experiences. For an example, When Zul’Gurub came out to World of Warcraft, our guild was in the race for who can take down the boss first, On Archimonde at the time and I can’t remember if it was Month’s behind or if I was a part of another guild on the alliance side, I was a feral druid who always had to respec. to restoration because back in these days feral druid was extremely broken and weak during raids and their only use was to back up the priest.

When we failed the fight we found out that the hunter’s pets are still infected with the corrupted blood and decided to unleash them into Iron Forge and did so we ended up watching how badly this started to infect others over and over to a point it was getting bad and it ended up getting so bad it ended up crashing the server as I remember this was a server that was down for over 6 hours because of this incident over a few days. The dead bones were lined up so thick in Iron Forge that it would lag the client side so bad to a point it would crash the client.  It was hilarious times but I never knew how important this kind of level was, never would have thought this would be a ground breaking story that would also be a study later on with infectious disease. Learn more about the incident here 

So it is amazing such little things in life at least for me can be impacted, so I take a big look back and look at the years I’ve been with LasVegas.net (ISP.Net now) and when my dad tells people that I’ve helped built that ISP from the ground up I normally shrug it off, but in the past few years I’ve been realizing it and he wasn’t wrong. 

I would love to give a good positive outlook on how my life turned out, I would love to have reported how highly successful in the ISP being their CISO, being highly influenced leader and giving epic scale talks as if I was Kevin Mitnick.

Sadly, in this timeline of events, I am nowhere near with that level of success. Instead, any talks I get to perform is rejected, I was bullied out of my own Defcon Group 702 I’ve been working on building since 2014 and I am to a point in my career I’m extremely burned out. When I do get to a level of a success in my career path I get pushed down, bulled, and ignored which doesn’t help my burn out feel.

As I was digging through some of my nostalgic code, relearning what I did do and, in this day, and age, A part of me goes: maybe it is a good time to be paid as a black hat, maybe it’s time to dig back to what I did do back in 2000 before I took over the ISP. Learning that a botnet I’ve once developed can be remade and I can go back to finding and hoarding 0days again rebuilding a botnet, this time not to use and flex but to resell on the darknet.

Another part of me says don’t, instead keep focus on building the book and the brand and give it some more time, even though I am about to turn 46, my success is help putting away the ISP’s owner with my book.

Now, what if I was in a different time line and I did get successful with my OG hack and became the ISP’s actual CISO (if you read my book, I’ve played the role in their network as their acting CISO as in a multi-hat role) and recognized as such.  I would be doing talks, giving inspiration to keep up the dreams, help give back to the hacker community, my DC702 would have been grounded as I would have been a Kevin Mitnick level of approval on the eyes of the community.  I would be able to focus more of building my name even further and wouldn’t have been burned out by the job career.

My second book, is more about my actual resume, my original 0day for the “ssh nuke” before someone else found it and reported it as a POC and somehow ended up on matrix 2…. How I built the botnet and how I took over the ISP to how I helped shaped the ISP to where it is at today. laying down the foundation I’ve reshaped.

A while, hasn’t it been?

Back in 2010 I made a move to Oregon in a reponse to massive trauma I’ve endured during the 2001 – 2009 yearh. Alot of that was explained in my book.

In the past 15 years, I realized alot more about Oregon and me than I have realized, first of all the heat and the air is brutally hurting and destroying my health. 5 months out of the year I can’t stand outside as this brutal heat is causing massive problems with me and my body.

I’ve also learned that I have a huge sugar and wheat allergy, but for the most part, I am not always fighting to stay awake like I do now, I was not always heavy breathing that I do now. The dust is so thick in this valley and it feels like it’s getting hotter each year with more days of 100F+ causing more months of intense heat and more days I get violently sick to be outside, I have to litterly push myself and after 30 minutes I am so dizzy, tossing in so much sweat and it doesn’t mater how many energy drinks I’ve acquired I’ll pass out from it.

I wished I wasn’t so stuck in trauma shock in 2010 and I wished I would have never trusted Mike and started my own business as originally planned and contract work with him so I can easily deny work I don’t feel good with.

I feel like vegas is my prison and my personal hell that I am seriously stuck in, I need help badly to get out. I am also trying to get my cars running so that if I do find an opportunity to leave I can easily do so, I’ve been working hard with out being hospitalized.

I’ve been looking extremely hard for job opportunities or even somehow figure out how I am going restart my busines there. I’d love to return TougeNW back there and bring with me Vegashackware a Cyber security firm / consulting company.

I’ve been reaching out to get my story out there but no one seems to want to listen. I really need help. I’ve even started a gofund me in an attempt to leave this place for good.

Anyways, if you want to help.
GoFundme or my Book. or if you are a business I did serviced back in the day looking to venture in or do a good dead in the world. This is it.  Feel free to contact me.

Analyzing the burnout

The Burnout analyzed…

I have been trying to really place down my timeline of how I feel so burned out in life and not being successful the goals I set and keep on trying I may not be a boxer, but if that is how winning is done, I have yet to win. as the quote goes “That is how winning is done, it’s not how hard you hit it is how hard you can take the hits” I’ve been taking so many hits and I fought back, tooth and nail and winning isn’t there. Revenge is tho!

I am not an NPC (Non-player Character), I lived long enough to be an anti-hero main person vibe and one part of my story I was born a villain.

My tech burn out all started in the whole lasvegas.net, lv.net now known as ISP.net. The years of verbal, mental, and even physical abuse and harassment, Including when I was fighting for my life with cancer, I had one of the partners who instead of having compassion played tricks and pranks while I lay dying, literally as I was getting blood transfusions as the doctors are telling me I had 6 months to live. For years I was promised the CISO role as a partner in the company, and I didn’t make money, for years the owner would belittle me, insult me, harass me and used my own family against me used their flaws to hold control over me and forced me to work under the table and instead the owner has stolen over 50k from me and ruined my credit.

When I left for the first time I had a “contract to hire job” ,this was 2007 and the decline of the economy so many businesses were starting to go out of business. By 2008 I ended up with another managed services provider. I was also being verbally abused by a significant other, loss of a job in 2009 and my own family seemed to be against me until I finalized the divorce. all these events piled on me and in 2009 I almost took my own life.

I moved to Oregon as a trauma response and on the insurance that the business partner would be true to his word but turns out after I moved I walked into another verbal abusive business partner and a business partner who was defrauding people and instead of targeting my actual goals of being a business ideas and my direction (cyber security) I was treated as a cash cow to his fraud system. My escape was endless weekends and nights in the mountain passes, driftx events hosted by TougeNW. I kept my ground and kept on challenging his defrauding and when will I get my say and share of the company and I can stop living off my unemployment checks. Instead it ended up with him threatening my life and now my career is on the line to his lies and fraud and held me against my will. When I had no other choice but to flee back to Las Vegas, a place I didn’t ever want to return.

I came back, already beaten up mentally from all the abuse and still trying to even process my cancer battle still that I’ve beaten physically just mentally I never had a chance to process. As I was being stalked and harassed by Marty from lvnet/ispnet since the day I left in 2007, I caved in and returned to work for him maybe? I’ll get that partnership promised.

Mentally I built a wall to turn off all the previous abuse to keep this professional, in which I learned that I will never get what I want with him, no matter how much I try. and that was emotionally draining

I also caved in and started to work for a casino, just to make money and I used drifting and car mechnics to break free from the burnout feeling, and just clock in, do work, and clock out and I couldn’t do that. I felt too much like I wanted to be more than that so I fought hard to move up the casino ladder but from 2013-2023 it all ended the moment I started to get to the area I want to grow from, but I was challenged by people who was unfit for their job and I became a disregarded as an employee and in the end targeted and it came to an end.

It’s been hard to focus on anything tech and cyber security regardless of how much skill I’ve learned over the years as I feel it is nothing more than another failed journey for me and I’m nothing more than replaceable in the end as if I was just some NPC.

I used to love embracing technology, love to see how I can also compromise it, I used to love learning new skills and languages and other OS levels, I used to love digging into other hardware and security solutions. Like a script kiddy and their flipperzero on Christmas, or the next age of graphics cards. I see this kind of technology love and trying my best to at least teach him but it’s also coming at a price of my mental health on the past traumas

One thing I know would help is if I had some type of success back into the cyber security world because at this point I am done applying for jobs and if I lost this one I’d rather just pitch a tent and die in the heat cursed to this a city I wanted to leave.

After 30 years, I am so tired.
