If computers are in same network, even with different ip addresses, they still can see all broadcast and multicast traffic. This means for example dhcp.
If you fully trust your computers, and are sure that no external party can access any of them, you should be fine. But if anyone can gain access to any of your computers, it is trivial to gain access and sniff traffic in all networks.
If you need best security, multiple switches and multiple nics are unfortunately only really secure solution.
Luks FDE, and install dropbear-initramfs, configure ssh authorized_keys and rebuild initramfs. Then you can access initramfs via ssh to type luks password.
Have you ever upgraded the Ubuntu laptop? Cause that’s my main gripe with Ubuntu. Server upgrades work, desktop upgrades never did for me.
I wonder about this. I have been running Ubuntu on one of my laptops for years, and updated it several times withouth hitch. All the way from around 18.10 to 22.04 (non-lts, so I upgraded to every release) until the laptop was replaced.
Usually the breakage happens if one has tons of shitty third-party repos and thus will get package conflicts when upgrading. And those are solved by removing/replacing all software installed from those repos and then after upgrade reinstalling them again if needed.
They are still on the ship, and cannot get to land because of the lack of visas.
Do you mean upgrade or reinstall?
I have done release upgrades in multiple occasions all the way from 16.04 -> 18.04 -> 20.04 -> 22.04 -> 24.04. Usually they work fine, but of course back up your stuff first. When doing it with release-upgrade all your stuff is of course kept just like before.
Basically just:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo do-release-upgrade
This will upgrade to 22.04. After upgrade just repeat process to upgrade to 24.04
The C64 Mini and C64 Maxi are readily available today and affordably priced, making spare parts easily accessible.
If those work well enough for them, I cannot see any benefit of upgrading.
First of all, in Linux everyone should only use software from distribution repositories (eg. via apt command in Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, dnf/yum command in Fedora etc...). Package managers will install software in controlled way and it is really easy to remove them too. And, there is usually gui app for installing apps from distribution repositories.
Second way is to use flatpak / snap. They are pretty much similar and will keep things easy.
Do not install sh packages or tar.gz if you really do not know what you are doing. These are only for expert cases.
One fundamental change coming from Windows is that in Linux, you should never worry about location where software is installed (except for those expert cases, which you should not use). They will be put in correct places always. In Linux, apps are sorted so that executables go to /usr/bin, library files to /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib, applicatoin other non-modifiable stuff to /usr/share etc. It gets quite a lot to get used to, but in long term it feels more natural than Windows way to dump everything in app directory.
My recommendation will be to install some user friendly distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint) and just go ahead with default package management things what it offers. If you see Android way handling software good, Fedora Silverblue is kind of like that - System upgrades are handled same way, and applications are installed as flatpaks.
Can you access your wan ip when you are somewhere else than on your own lan?
If not, then this is probably just that your router does firewalling and nat is such order that you can access admin interface from local network via wan address.
If yes, then router has some serious misconfiguration.
For first-time Linux users, I always recommend one of the main user friendly distributions - it is much easier to ask or look for help this way.
So, Fedora, Ubuntu or Opensuse.
Their installers all can live boot
Blog makes valid point, but why on earth there would be any current Linux distribution without usr merge?
EDIT: Especially when every major Linux distributions have already implemented usr merge long time ago.

On my Gnome Files, there is option to "Open in terminal" and create new files (from templates, which were set up by default on my distro). All by default without any extensions or anything.
