That’s kinda my issue as well. I have a core 24 port L3 switch that’s multigig POE and a 3 disk NAS.

The NAS I could technically downsize with a little bit of tinkering and money.

The switch will be hard to miniaturize.

Thankfully my router is already 1/2U and 1/2 width so that’s easy to migrate.

I understand what you mean. The way I did it was a full disk encryption as an “external drive” so the whole disk was encrypted

No, that’s absolutely true. Dynamic loads will need to be accounted for in real world examples.

How are you accessing the fediverse?

Consider a dam that is 10m tall

Then consider the height of water behind that dam is 5m tall.

Does the dam need to be built stronger if the water behind it is 1 km long?

How about only 500m?

How about 1m?

The answer is, it doesn’t matter. Water exerts pressure equally regardless of how much water is behind it.

Therefore a graduated cylinder that is 10m tall needs to resist the same amount of force as a dam 10m tall regardless of how much water is behind the dam. Even a thin sliver of water 1mm thick and 5m tall has the same force as a 5m lake behind the dam.

Incompressible fluids are pretty insane

Can you elaborate?

Germans say 1 hundred 6 and 9 ten… Because Germans like to be special. Learning German makes me appreciate Chinese and English counting. Although the -hundred delimitation confuses foreign speakers. Such as 15-hundred is actually 1,500

Chinese say 1 hundred 9 ten 6 as an added data point

When I sold my drives, I used veracrypt with a 128 character password and PIM of 800+.

Isn’t that the same thing as shredding?

I usually say if you have time can you do XYZ? That way if they don’t want to, it’s assumed that they didn’t have time which is fine. They always have a way out

IP address and Domain Names

PiHole and AdGuard are both easy to setup servers for network wide DNS blocking. (Homenetworking)

NextDNS is an external entity that allows you to setup DNS blocking on devices that support DoT, DoH, and occasionally plaintext DNS. (For your phone and other mobile devices)

iPhones and Androids both support DoT while Firefox (and likely most modern browsers) supports DoH.

If you don’t want to rely on an external entity, you could use a wire guard split tunnel to block your ads away from your home network. Additionally you can set up a VPS and self host your DNS server there.

Just run OM3 and you’ll be set for 100gbe!

Helped my dad through the process and he got like 41 dollars from an old business tax over charge. Not much but that’s dinner money!

Cons

-No LED lighting

How the hell is this a con??

A con would be no thunderbolt support or something like that

I have maybe a few dozen USB C devices all from dumb 5V/2A chargers to 20V/5A chargers. From USB 5GB to USB 40GB. Never once have I ever had issue with the cables and connectors. Only time I’ve had an issue was when I dropped my phone into the charging cable where it physically broke off.

Meanwhile I’ve had an iPhone for 4 years and the lightning connector broke in such a way I had to use hot glue to pull it out of the port.

I installed yuzu on my deck. Worked better than Ryujinx, at least for BotW. Just sad there won’t be any additional updates.

Steam deck emulator specifically. Nintendo tends to not care about old gen stuff being emulated. If Yuzu was released after the switch 2 comes out, then I wouldn’t imagine Nintendo going that hard after it

Here’s to hoping that Switch 1 emulation is easier and better

Gotta hop on that pixelfed!
