Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

SOLVED! (Updates at the bottom of this post.)
I need a bit of assistance from the #Linux, #Homelab, and #SysAdmin folks out there.
I have a managed switch that's divided up into two different VLANs, one of them is completely excluded from having internet access (internal network) but I want to be able to access it externally using a VPN. Is there an easy way for me to setup a Raspberry Pi or similar device on the internal network?
I'm having trouble getting a Linux server setup to use 2 different VLANs so that's half of my problem.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, even if it's completely different from what I'm looking for. 🙂
EDIT: So many awesome replies! I think I have a few ideas that I can try out and see what works best for me. Thanks!!!
SOLUTION: After reviewing the different replies one of them pointed me in the right direction to properly understanding the pieces I was missing. I was able to get the VLANs working correctly in AlmaLinux (one of my servers) and then create a bridge interface to pass to some of my Linux KVM guests to use them as a jumpbox into the other internal network. This saves me from having to make a 45 minute drive to add or change any hardware. 🥳

the frog! the frog! the frog!
okay this was one of the most beautiful moments i've ever experienced. top ten memory right here. i was having a terrible start to this year, just felt like total dog shit. i was unemployed and listless. i could just barely get myself out the door to go take pictures. and i am so glad i did.
i walked into the nature preserve and immediately was hit with this sound that i couldn't identify. took me a few moments to register that they were probably frogs and i needed to go find them immediately. on my way rushing to the pond i passed a woman who was like "do you hear the chorus frogs??" and i was like "yes!! where are they??". She apparently had just gotten done teaching a class out there and told me where to find them.
As i approached the pond, the sound was nearly too much. They were so loud!! It sounded like i was absolutely surrounded by hundreds of frogs all singing. The strangest part was that despite there sounding like endless numbers of them i could not for the life of me locate one of them!
Took me a bit of hunting but finally i started to see them amongst the duckweed. Just tiny little orbs croaking their tiny little hearts out. i was just absolutely overwhelmed with the emotions of experiencing something so beautiful and perfect. such a new and unique experience. something that made suffering through all the shit utterly worth it. there will always be more frogs to see for the first time. there are so many more experiences to have. there are people to love and animals to wonder about. ill be thinking about these frogs for the rest of my life.

this was one of the funniest pictures i took in 2024. this squirrel was just being so funny this day. i watched them climb up into this old plant stand thing thinking they'd just stand on it or jump from it or whatever but then they settled in for quick little rest. i couldn't believe it. guess it was just nap time!

If you have Austrian citicenship and consider changing your gender marker, do it NOW. There will probably be a period where this won't be possible.

Dan's Online Community Management Thread part who-the-hell knows: if you read this article from @Omisspearl and think "That's not really relevant to your website moderation thread Dan, the author's talking about in-person kinky meetups," well you'd be half-right because online stuff is very different to in-person stuff (availability of receipts always makes online stuff easier), but regardless, you should read it for the detailed examination of how abusers find attackable surfaces.
Hell, you should probably give it a look even if you're not involved in community moderation at all. Recognizing these patterns can help you spot abuse that might be happening to you or someone else. Abusers are sneaky.

(edit: re-read my post and went "Dan, did you actually mention anywhere in your post that this article was good?" Well hell apparently I did not. ✨this is a good article✨)
@hweimer I'm sure it looks that way from a user perspective, but from the perspective of the people actually building these things, it frequently just happens out of desperation, with all the psychological toll that that involves.
Don't mistake popularity or scale for sustainability.
@hweimer I have been involved in some of these projects and no, they are certainly not sustainable, especially with a worsening political and social environment.
@Violet Oof, this definitely sounds like some serious air quality problems :/
In the past I've dealt with this kind of airflow issue by putting a fan directly adjacent to the (open) window to maximize the air circulation, in such a way that there's also space for an outgoing air stream through the same window. Though it sounds like your room may be worse in terms of airflow than any room I've ever dealt with...
@Violet Hmm, do you also sleep better if there's a bit of wind outside? If so, it may be worth trying to fit a cheap large-blade fan (or even an air purifier/filter) into the room, to cause some active air circulation at all times.
@Violet Hm, I wonder if that may be part of the problem? Perhaps other places you've slept had more 'breathing space'? Might even be something as simple as too much stale air (eg. too high CO2 levels), which is more likely in smaller rooms.
@Violet This is going to sound weird, but have you tried moving or reorienting your bed within the room?

For new folks who may see this: You might start keeping your eyes open regarding the servers your new friends are interacting from. It's nothing ominous. Sometimes the first server you join is not the best fit for you, and a good way to find a better fit is to see which servers the people you enjoy are members of.
Maybe they have a longer character allowance, maybe they have a theme you are drawn to, or maybe it's the way their moderators keep icky stuff out of their time-line.
It's pretty easy to migrate from one server to another. I've done it and it was pretty smooth.
Edit: also for new people, you can edit stuff after you post it. For instance, if you type "theur" when you meant "their." (I did that and fixed this post after)

Serious question: Is there an open-source 2D printer (the type with paper and ink)?
If not, why not? Is there some serious production bottleneck that only HP&co can meet?

@mina Probably not quite the same problem you have with them, but from my perspective as a tutor, I hate 'bootcamps' with a passion.
They invariably promise impossible learning outcomes ("become an expert on _____ in two weeks!") and completely fail to teach foundational concepts, instead they tend to focus on rules-of-thumb and highly-specific patterns that aren't even appropriate in most cases, but it sure *looks* very advanced!
Every single time I've tutored someone who had tried a 'bootcamp' before, I spent the first few weeks to months 'un-teaching' all the nonsense they picked up during it... before we could start on the actual foundations of the skill.

Why is every single course a "bootcamp" now?
I don't like to get thrown into the mud and being yelled at.
I just want to learn some computer stuff whilst sipping my tea.
Maybe, I'm not made for this world or:
I just hate corporate speak.
