Making an image of the drive, gotta keep it cool. The A+ course didn't have this in it years ago, but maybe they suggest it now.

I wanted to create a VLAN to keep my Mastodon server separate from my LAN. Two days later, I now have 8 VLANs. I think I have a problem.

The Pixel 9a was released today. If you're looking to upgrade your #GrapheneOS Pixel (or make the switch to GrapheneOS), the 'a' series make for great devices. You can check the link below to see how long GrapheneOS is supported for on your current device β€” https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-lifetime

Obligatory, but you probably don't need a new phone.

You served well HDD 🫑. For a while now, I've been thinking that going with RAID-Z2 was a waste of space. But while I'm waiting for the warranty replacement with a degraded pool, I couldn't be happier with my choice.

I’m not a fan of generic block pages for VPN users. It smells like 'security through obscurity,' which I don’t supportβ€”and it likely creates more support tickets for them. One of my banks just redirects you to the login page after you submit your credentials without explanation.

I was browsing https://killedbygoogle.com, and saw that Google killed their VPN. That was quick.

I've been using @mullvadnet for over a decade, and it's been solid. If you're looking for a VPN, I highly recommend them. This week, I covered some settings and features I like about Mullvad VPN.

If you're going to be a lazy marketer, at least make sure your automated spam emails make sense (a little proofreading wouldn’t hurt either).

@josh There is no problem! The problem begins when you are close to 4090 VLANs.

@josh @rozie I've just had a terrible idea: use VXLAN frames to control the color output of a string of RGB LEDs. 24 bit color here we go!

(if someone actually does this, I'll be over the moon haha)

Don't forget to create some vlans to keep them separate.You don't wanna know what happens when you mix vlans... We still haven't found our network engineer after the last time it happened.

It's been six hours... I am guessing Egon Spengler should have been warning people not to cross the VLAN's instead of not to cross the streams

Two days later:
- I now have 8 VLANs
- What if you wrap them all in one VLAN to rule them all?

Two more days later:
- I now have 9 VLANs
