I was wiping this old laptop to sell or give it away. Couldn’t resist putting Fedora Silverblue on it to try it out. It’s very slow but I was able to check my e-mails in the browser, big win.

    Ah I misspoke. I have different VLANs, not just subnets. So nothing really goes through layer 3 to talk across subnets, as nothing is allowed to go from one VLAN to another. I use them to split the networks between devices that should not talk to each other.

      Ah, most of the stuff I statically assign ends up providing services to dhcp devices. File shares, media servers, whatever.

      Always struggled with the concept of isolated servers because usually I set them up for things I want to access. Even setting up a game server for friends i’m going to want to directly connect internally.

      On the other hand in business, isolating things makes much more sense. I isolate old hosts that we can’t quite decommission or update for reasons, and setup as-isolated-as-reasonable ways for users to access these hosts like with rdp to a jumpbox that doesn’t have any other access beyond rdp and said server.
