As a bonus, if you go with newsgroups, you don’t have to expose anything to the internet!

Ah, then you had one with a working transmission! Chevy evidently tried something new for their 1986-1988 V8 engines and it wasn’t good.

I replaced the transmission in my behemoth twice before giving up on it.

Maybe I ditch my plans and just establish a VLAN for IoT and guests.

That’s a good starting point. Keep IoT away from your primary vlan (for all things holy don’t use VLAN ID 1). You can limit your outbound traffic for that vlan more easily if you want to cut your smart things off from the Internet.

Guest WiFi/vlan can be just a straight shot to the internet, probably no need for visitors to get to your internal services.

Eventually, you could add a DMZ where any Internet available systems like your VPN - with specific firewall rules only permitting VPN to specific locations inside your primary vlan.

I had a 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic 5.0L V8. The thing was a tank.

Go ahead and try to pit me, I dare you.

It’s only the mini Pepsi cans iirc, so they aren’t as load bearing as I’d like. God willing, I’ll upgrade to fanta boxes one day.

A little late to the party, but here’s mine.

I don’t even get what’s linux-y about the meme.

I guess if it said systemd instead of FBI, and changed the pedophile thing to something systemd related, maybe… But that’s a completely different meme.

I didn’t mind Argyle. The trailer had a blatant bait and switch, but I love Sam Rockwell so it worked out.

Really bad white noise machine.

Hey! Go Tigers!

Depending on how you’re taking “inspiration” I’m fairly certain you can get sued if Anthropic feels like it.

Clean room development is there for a reason (although can you use AI in such an effort?)

Wow. I need about a dozen of these to post around my conservative town.

If there’s encoding issues in the future, we can come up with mpreg2.

If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, “Navigate to <place>”. It flat out does not work.

Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.

I’m sorry I can’t do that.

(It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).

If I’m in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the “Navigate to…” Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)… It tries to open the app.

This shit used to work, it’s getting actively dumber.

This morning I got fed up and asked,

“Can I use you to navigate somewhere?”

Sure! Where would you like to go?

“Dutch Bros”

(Opens the Dutch Bros app)

Remember when liberals were so pissed off at Mayor Adams that they threw a pipe bomb at his house? No?

Huh. Weird.

Wait, why are you doing this? Is there some network throughput requirement? Just bridging wifi to Ethernet won’t get you Ethernet speed, latency, or stability (since the back haul to the internet is WiFi).

This feels a bit like an XY Problem.

Edit: Wait, I’m guessing the company doesn’t allow wifi? (That seems weird, if they’re using a mandatory VPN, it shouldn’t matter how the laptop gets to the internet). Leaving this in case anyone doesn’t know about XY Problems. They’ve bitten me several times over the years.
