I’ll try an analogy to explain better. The firewall is a lock on the door to your house. Vlans are a rule that to go from one room to another, you must go back out the locked door and back in.

So an attacker tries to come in and can’t pick the lock. You are safe.

Another attacker can pick the lock and get into a room. But if they can pick the lock for one room, they can pick the same lock again and get into any other rooms because it’s the same lock protecting every room in the house.

if you allowed that to happen you either did not set firewall rules strict enough

The argument was that the vlans force a device through the firewall so that the firewall can protect it. But for that to happen, like you said the firewall wasn’t strick enough or didn’t have a defense against a 0 day.

So the vlan doesn’t do anything either way. Either the firewall works in which case you don’t need vlans to force local traffic through them a second time or they don’t work in which case again the vlan did nothing.

To compromise a device on a vlan it had to get through the firewall. If your firewall couldn’t stop it then it can attack any other device by going through the firewall because again the firewall didn’t stop the device from being compromised in the first place.

You can do that at the router. You don’t need vlans to block Mac addresses.

haven’t really found any personal need for VLAN segregation

I feel like many setup vlans “because it exists”, not for actual need. The security reason generally doesn’t exist for home labs because most need to setup bridging or you can’t access the devices on the secure vlan at all.

I noped out of arch during setup. It expected me to partition the drive for swap/os/usr. It’s not 1996, I’m not doing that today.

I have no idea what the admins are doing with lemmy.world but every day the ai_reddit community posts are near the top despite only 1 upvote on posts and I’m not subscribed to that community.

Trying to turn it into one will attract lawsuits

Photoshop wasn’t the inventor of their GUI. There were many paint programs that predate Photoshop that Photoshop based their GUI on.

And there hasn’t been a “look and feel” lawsuit since Apple sued Microsoft.

It’s not dev time to fix UI complaints that have been made for 20 years. They have added hundreds of complex features in that time.

It was their ethos to not be Photoshop no matter how convoluted their alternative workflow needed to be.

Your comment was interesting but a complete non sequitur to start with the claim “I disagree”.

Nothing you wrote refuted the claim that the current “war on Iran” is more of a terrorist operation. Ukraine has boots on the ground so it’s not really comparable to Ukraine.

I’m guessing those tanks have been sealed from when you filled them?

Gas goes bad primarily from absorbing water from the air, oxidation, and evaporation. Since the tanks were kept closed, the gas will last for years.

Gas cans that are used frequently need stabilizer because every time you pour a little to fill a lawnmower, fresh air gets in to replace the volume poured out.

It’s a joke. At least I hope so.

They are already in use, even with manufactories in Spain.

That’s not a diamond transistor company. They are making diamond wafers to mount to traditional silicon. It’s a heatsink.

Here’s a good overview of the current state of the art in diamond transistor manufacturing.

It would be a hard fork which Google is forcing anyway. That’s the path Graphene is taking.

It’s start with a basic working phone gui and apps and improve it (Graphene’s path) or start with absolutely nothing and build everything again (Pine OS etc’s path).

I don’t see why you’d need to run pure Linux over Android. Android phones at their core are a Java app running under Linux. There were even lawsuits because Android was originally a Java app.

Working on the open Android projects seems more productive.

That means Facebook already knows what you look like. Otherwise they couldn’t have known you submitted the wrong photo.

The network effect. It’s big enough that small forums get enough posts to stay active which keeps more people using it.

For example Lemmy has a 3d printer forum that has a few posts a week. Reddit has forums not just for 3d printing but for every specific model of printer and each gets a much activity as Lemmy’s generic forum.

If I’m searching for something, Google will show Reddit content but not Lemmy because there isn’t an answer on Lemmy.

Quest is cheap hardware you can use however you want. You didn’t know what you were talking about.

Cassandrafatigue doesn’t know anything about what they are talking about.

I bought them for my kids. I didn’t buy it until you could use it without a Facebook account.

I recognized the quote. But as I explained it doesn’t apply because the dumb fucks are those that can’t see buying a loss leader hardware product and then not using it the way they planned hurts Facebook.
