I guess it could be both.

Note: I have not done any research on the topic, but I’m just theorizing based on what I already know, as it’s an interesting mental excersice.

Obviously the biggest problems will be uplink and power. Solar and a battery bank is the obvious choice, but other methods of powers can also work, such as a small generator in a river, etc.

Lead acid batteries are relatively cheap, and building a 12V bank out of car batteries makes sense as there is plenty of off the shelf hardware available to invert or transform 12V into whatever you need. Charging it from solar will be inefficient, but it will work, and there is also plenty of hardware for this (tip: boat-related shops can help you out here)

As for hosting hardware we’re of course dealing with the constraints of load vs power consumption. If you can go for something like a raspberry pi zero, you can run for days off of a single car battery with those cheap 5v cigarette-pkug chargers. If you need something more powerful, you need to scale up power accordingly.

As for uplink, the question is “How much” off grid we’re talking. I will assume that there’s at least GPRS coverage that you can connect to with a 4G modem, even if you don’t get 4G speeds. Plenty of off-the-shelf hardware available here. If not applicable, just substitute with whatever is available, be it CDMA, packet radio, starlink (eww), or anything else.

Mail, torrentleech, Element, WhatsApp, and whatever I worked on last time I had it open.

EDIT: Upon checking, it was all of the above. The “whatever I was working on” was the user manual of my car.

Any way of having this study an existing database (or dump thereof) and build the graph? I have an oracle database that nobody understands, built by someone else, and I thought something like this could help…

Derp, yes. Corrected. VLAN numbers are obviously not related to port numbers in any way.

Yes, but that’s done on the switch. Basically VLAN tags are applied in one of two ways:

Untagged (sometimes called Access) is something you apply on a switch port. For example, if you assign a port to Untagged VLAN 32, anything connected to that port will only be able to see traffic assigned to VLAN 32.

Tagged (sometimesreferred to as Trunk), on the other hand, is for traffic that is already assigned a VLAN tag. For example Tagged 32 means that it will allow traffic that already has a VLAN tag of 32. It is possible to assign multiple VLANs to a Tagged port. Whatever is connected to that port will need to be able to talk to the associated VLAN(s).

In your particular case, the best practice would be to assign two ports (One for each host, obviously) to Untagged 32 (arbitrarily chosen number, any VLAN ID will do, as long as you’re consistent), and all the other ports as Untagged to a different VLAN ID. That way the switch will effectively contain two segments that cannot talk to each other.

As others have said: It will work as you’ve planned it. The subnetting will keep these two PCs separated (If they still need internet, just add a second IP in your router-PC to allow for communication with this subnet).

VLANs aren’t required, but are more relevant when you want to force network segregation based on individual ports. If you really want to, you can add tagged virtual interfaces on these two separated hosts so that the others hosts aren’t able to simply change the address to reach these. The switch should ignore the VLAN tag and pass it through anyway. But again, it’s not really needed, just something you can do if you really want to play with tagged VLAN interfaces

I use fail2ban and a non-standard SSH port. 99% of this junk disappears if you run sshd on port 9.

Also, disable password for login - Only use keys.

Wut? BG3 runs flawlessly out of the box for me. Pretty vanilla Mint install, Nvidia 4060.

This is an efficient method, yes, but it’s doable without money: If you fly enough you rack up enough bonus points to upgrade for free.

Source: Done it plenty of times. If the flight is four hours or more, that’s when I consider spending my points.

I am an atheist and ordained dudeist priest. Because it aligns with my values.

I used to do the same, and for stationary PCs, that’s still my recommendation. Sure, some might actually need bleeding edge stuff for for some specific niche high performance thing, but for most people that’s a waste of money.

The only exception is for laptops. I rely on laptops as I’m often on the go, and I’ve generally had better results when going high end (within reason) than going mid-tier.

iPhone 3G. Awful performance, even worse battery life, no multitasking, next to no storage space, couldn’t do shit without iTunes, and even with iTunes the options were severely limited. Overpriced locked down piece of shit. Streamlined UI was pretty much the only good thing about it. Got an android phone not long after and it was like night and day.

For some reason this pyramid scheme (World Games Inc) was highly popular where I grew up. “Everyone” was in on it, but my family somehow wasn’t. But you couldn’t even strike up a casual conversation with anyone without it ending up as a sales pitch. It was fucking tiresome. Luckily the thing folded eons ago.

Noted. Edited post accordingly, but my point still stands.

Fresh urine is sterile, but has everything bacteria needs to thrive once they arrive. And a week of room temperature is exactly how they prefer their new home. You’re basically handing them a 5-star hotel with luxury meals included.

Fresh piss may be gross, but room temperature aged piss will definitely make you sick.

EDIT: Turns out it’s not sterile. But at least it’s not 90% bacteria by weight

Coors

I often “accidentally” drag my feet a little bit to make my footsteps are a little bit more audible.

I’m usually a very quiet walker, so I just want to make sure my presence is known, as opposed to startling people.
