  • No, that’s handled by ARP requests. In this case, it’s likely that the DHCP server is on the gateway, as that’s a pretty common setup for home ISP router arrangements.

    Gateway refers to a router that has access to other networks. In this case, the default gateway, which will be the router that has access to the internet.

    DNS or name servers are a separate option in DHCP leases, as are the IP addresses for DHCP servers, which are more of a windows thing generally.

    In this case this comment is probably an accurate description of what’s happened:

  • I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.

    Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.

    $1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.

    Edit: Oh yeah, they’re probably not dual attached, and the ‘redundant power supply’ (RPS) is a separate appliance, which I consider kinda bullshit, that takes up another U.

    I’ve had no trouble with actual switching performance though fwiw.

    Edit 2: They’re probably compatible with the AR mobile app, which is hella cool, and somewhat useful in customer sites.

  • You’d be surprised. I’ve got a mid-tier i7 laptop from 2017 and it munches through most productivity tasks.

    It’s my i9 desktop that suffers when I’m running everything I want to have up. Between containers and compilers, VMs and videos, tabs and terminals, you can really put the hurt on a machine. I likely won’t be swapping until everyhing has adopted 45, or until I figure out how to make hyprland work the way I want it to


  • I don’t have a particular problem with their security, I just don’t have a clear picture of what they’re about yet - and I don’t want to give the impression that I’ve investigated it and found everything’s in order.

    Gnome’s mouse thing is about running the human input devices in a separate thread, prioritized over the rest of its spawned processes. The practical upshot is, if your system is chugging under the weight of too many programs, your input won’t be laggy


  • I’m not a a current user of immutable distros, but I’m in the same boat as you. Interested in immutable os’s, running fedora workstation, getting bored.

    I’ve been working on independent setups to see how I’d get customization working on an immutable distro. Some combination of containers seems like how I’d go. See this explanation.

    For example, I’m running a wayland system, and RemoteApp/Rails on freerdp only works with X. Xwayland is currently broken on my system (installed as fedora 39 *beta). I require this for work. I installed distrobox with debian 12 bookworm, installed the required packages and it works like a charm.

    On immutable OS’sI have been watching Vanilla OS for a while. I really like what I see. I’m just not sure what the security posture of it is.

    The biggest thing holding me back is Gnome 45. It’s so good. Having an independent prioritized thread for mouse/keys makes it feel so smooth.

    I’ve built hyprland and begun adding all the essential pieces to make it a viable replacement for Gnome. I’m not there yet, but once I figure out ad-hoc multi-monitor support with docks, I will be.
