if you were locked in a building with psychopaths building a nuclear bomb, are you certain you would be strong enough to stick around? especially since Terry from engineering shot himself five times in the back of the head last week.
that's why it's important for that bilateral support.
people who haven't experienced a need for support can't understand the level of strength it takes to receive it.
in a friendship where you're given everything, guilt builds, which festers into regret and animosity. sometimes that can happen on both sides. sometimes just the figment of it happening is enough to end a friendship.
if the friendship is important to you, find your strength and find a way to support your friend. sometimes it's as easy as finding the strength to support yourself.
personally when I trap women in my basement to butcher, I want them to fight it. I mean that with all sincerity. I spent the last ten years building this murder hut into the side of a mountain so nobody can hear you scream, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't scream.
I mean come on, look at all the effort I had to go through to make this dream a reality! the least a woman could do is play along with it.
but no. modern women just crawl into one of the roach infested corners and sob quietly as I peel their sorority sisters face off. such a fucking insult! sure Barbara, you can write a flame review for your pumpkin spiced latte with a turd in it, but you won't give my efforts the time of day?!
you know, this is probably why I kill them. not because I want to, but because if I didn't skin them alive they would just think less of me as a man.
it's mostly a personal choice, but also a lack of acceptable partners.
I rely on nobody. I lean on nobody. I share with nobody. not because I feel masculine doing it, but because I don't feel the need to. I've been "alone" for decades at this point and anything else feels foreign.
should I find one or many friends, they would inevitably need me more than I them and that would be unfair to them and me. if I would befriend someone like me it negates the friendship entirely. the importance of a friendship being built on bilateral support is often undersold or ignored entirely.
Am I lonely? sometimes. Am I happy? rarely. Am I satisfied? satisfactorily. introducing a friend to my life would inevitably destabilize my balanced world where it was no longer within my control.
why tf are you fighting so hard against something that's so trivial? don't antifascists have more important battles to focus on than using the name "antifa"?
Look, I get it. it's the principle that you feel like they're winning if you abandon "antifa". don't you think that maybe you feel that way because that's what they want you to feel?
instead of focusing on how they want you to be perceived, force them to recognize who you are. you are antifascist and anyone who argues against that is clearly profascist.
the only way to flip the narrative they want is to turn their script upside down.
a VLAN is assigned to a specific port on the same subnet.
now I have to know which port is for that VLAN specifically.
now I have to segment my network to ensure I know which IPs are on that VLAN.
now I have to statically assign IPs.
now I need to replace my router and rebuild everything.
or I setup a separate network on a different subnet with firewall rules to ensure nothing can talk to anything outside of the private network and let dhcp do assignments.
hmmmm.....which one is easier to maintain.... I wonder...
VLANs literally exist because it would be too costly to run dedicated networking hardware in enterprise solutions. from a networking perspective in a selfhosting or small business environment VLANs are overkill and high maintenance.
A. Do you absolutely NEED the VLAN for your NVR? Why not just isolate the devices on the network with a bogus DNS record or FW rule blocking via MAC or IP?
DNS doesn't stop direct IP comms. I have seen a few devices that talked direct IP to bypass DNS blocks. as you said, a firewall rule is a far better solution.
However, I don't trust my Chinese cameras enough to not rootkit their way across my network, so it has to be quarantined. a VLAN is one way to successfully do that.
personally I dislike the high maintenance costs of VLANs. That's why I opted to run a completely different network for all my IOT devices including cameras. the DVR is on that network and proxied through a dual homed server that straddles the two networks. firewall rules in place that only allow specific ports through on specific devices to specific devices.
