  • Man, this is what I fear trying to get into homelab’ing. I’m just so naive to networking I’m afraid I’ll break everything. The most I’ve ever accomplished was Plex on my PC, Plex app elsewhere and PC has to have Plex running to work. That and I built a NAS (when really I just wish it was a DAS I could tether to multiple PC’s at once), and I barely made it though tutorials to get that working.

    I feel like I need to buy a textbook because I’m so clueless on the basics I can’t even get started, since almost any tutorial online assumes you know the bare bones basics. Like I literally don’t know what DHCP is, how it works, or even what it stands for.

    At the very least your post has inspired me to try to start trying again. Maybe there’s a textbook I can pick up to start learning this super basic groundwork, or maybe a course online.

    If everyone being oppressed is rallied together then it’s an immensely powerful force, but those at the top are always working to keep us divided, uneducated, and poor.

    You can’t unite the people together until you educate them more. You can’t educate them more until you remove them from poverty. You can’t get them out of poverty until you redistribute the wealth. You can’t redistribute the wealth until you forcibly take it from the ruling class. You can’t force my take it until you unite the people together, etc. etc.

    That or you wait until food and water is so scarce that the majority of the population becomes concerned if they can survive in the short term. But that’s a wildcard situation that could go in any direction.




  • For anyone who doesn’t necessarily care about data collection and accepts that it’ll happen to some degree and you can’t escape it, and wants an easy experience without ad’s just remember to never connect your TV to the internet and get an Apple TV 4K for $150. The software isn’t jank like some android options, it isn’t sluggish, and you only need the one remote unless you’re changing inputs. I literally never see or interact with the menu of my smart TV and it’s great.
