They imply the fucker part themselves, it’s part of their troll

The response to “what about men” comments is, we’re already talking about men when we talk about misogyny. Misandry and misogyny are the exact same problem, strictly enforced gender roles. If you deviate, you are punished. The men that are caregivers are derided just like the women that refuse to rear children. Every other related paradigm punches down into the people who do not conform. Stoicism in men, histrionics in women.

Either is a foil for the other and it’s exactly the same bullshit.

Nothing. The only people that gain anything from strict gender roles are the rich, and they use them to create disparities and depress wages.

Not liking the solution you have doesn’t mean you don’t have a solution.

Anyway, watch the playlist I sent, it’s a great overview of the OSI model with some other stuff. You mentioned not understanding some layers, once you do you will understand the limitations of the hardware you have.

You are basically asking for people to solve a solved problem, there’s no actual need for keeping the PCs separate since you control them both, and oh and you want it done cheap. A bespoke custom solution will not scale regardless if you need it to or not, you should know that.

A firewall device with as many ports as you need is your best bet.

I do need to segregate networks but I do not trust the operating systems running on these switches which can do L3 routing.

Ok, so you are trusting the PCs which you need to keep separate.

There’s no way to know if one of them is hoovering all the traffic from the other, if they are both connected to the same unmanaged switch.

The more normies start using this, the more default config/ old as dirt routers will have some exploitable thing.

More than 10 years ago, I logged into the router of some guy on IRC and changed his pppoe username and password to 'pleaseinvestigateme ‘iamapedophile’ or something.

The IP he connected from was his home network, the router had default username and password. He disconnected when I hit save.

The guy was a pedo, fyi. Or trolling by saying he was.

quieter, and uses way less power.

VERY IMPORTANT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SENTENCE OP

Yeah totally, it’s just wrong to say it’s not the majority of them.

My home stuff is like this

No, it’s advertising.

I don’t want it for me. It doesn’t have it.

You want it for you, you have other options.

Because it encourages gamification, advertising, malware, and illegal content.

If you want links, use the link sharing forums.

I don’t want the content to be outside the app, I want the content to be the photos people post.

I don’t know what mechanism they use, but I have a hunch that if you allowlist one user from an instance, the instance owner could potentially see the stuff. Not just your own instance owner.

Why does the fediverse not have a privacy control to limit who can see and interact with your posts?

Because of the way the protocol works.

There is no way to accomplish this is a publicly federated network without trusting the portals people use and/or creating some sort of public key exchange on friend requests.

This results in privacy breaches being as simple as compromising one node, or writing some code to make a node hostile.

The key idea would be basically when you friend/follow someone you send them your public key, they keep a list of keys and encode/individually send followed messages to people. Very onerous.

Your asrock option should be good, you are concerned about power draw but the manual asks for 90w adaptor with 2 HDDs.

The Odroid has a more specific ask

– DC 19V/7A power adapter is recommended if you use more than one 3.5” SATA HDDs together

Your 90w may be underpowered in either case hard to tell.

Proxmox would still be useful for container management.

Does your budget include the drives you mentioned, or do you already own those? Do you have an esata dock or something already?

Oh I never looked at the two bay specs, good idea.

Synology specifically can run a bunch of services. Plex server is in the package manager. I use WebDAV and added it as a media source on the VLC app on my nvidia shields

The thing that you will struggle with, doing a roll your own NAS is that rolling your own is only going to be as reliable as you are.

I had a seadrive Linux server set up and I had a bunch of issues with accessibility and software upgrades because it stretched the bounds of what I was capable of. If I went back to that solution now, I would not struggle nearly as much and I would probably run two concurrent instances and transfer files between them instead of trying to upgrade the one live instance.

But I need something consistent for my wife and friends, so I did pick up a Synology 4 bay and loaded it with 4x 8tb drives.

With this thing, extra services beyond the Synology apps are much more simple to configure. Authentication is more consistent, even though I am not using the Synology sign in service.

The server hardware that was hosting Seadrive still has containers and VMs for a web proxy, pihole, my security camera server, qbittorrent-nox. I have a mikrotik router that feeds traffic back and forth.

If none of those things make sense to you even if you look them up, you should use a prebuilt. If you can make a guess how I’m using the things, you might be able to roll your own.
