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.

Foxcon nets to catch jumpers in the US when?

Something something snowflake.

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

Market swings only benefit those with capital to deploy on the right side of the bet. The rest get shafted either way.

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

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

Or possibly a cat. Or a dog. Or one of the many other animals that really care about pissing spots.

It very much did. From the looks of it, it would’ve been “ok”, except a notoriously unreliable drivetrain, and electronics that are almost on par with the rest of the world. However, it couldn’t be built without western components, it was ridiculously expensive, couldn’t be built at a high enough rate, and not combat proven.

As easy as it is to make fun of russian tanks these days, it does make a lot more sense to focus on T-90 or the likes instead. Hell, t-72m is also a reasonable choice given the circumstances.

I’m just here hoping it’s both. A guerilla fighting gorilla sounds awesome

T14 was officially canceled last year citing cost efficiency.

Any system beyond a vanilla install will need some tweaks to fit your use case(s). And these tweaks often end up as a stack of glass boxes over time, unless meticulously planned and purpose built from the beginning.

As long as it’s manageable and secure, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “operational”.

Wanting to rebuild from scratch is pretty common. The question is whether you need to and should. You have to weigh cost and work hours up against any benefits to figure out the answer.

No, just one. You set up one device/server as a VPN gateway (often called VPN concentrator), and you will have access to anything the concentrator has access to on your home network.

Either you use your VPN concentrator as your jump box, or you set up routing and firewalls to be able to access them directly.
