Yea, I was referring to the OSI model.

A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

It’s also bullshit, because Windows 10 LTSC IoT is supported through 2032 or something.

Yes, you can change app icons to anything you like, including another installed app or custom images.

I’ve switched to… hyperion…? a while back.
I did like Nova a lot, and used that pretty exclusively for much longer, but switched when it got bought.

Honestly, I’d just use whatever the ISP provides.
Sure, it’s not open source and it kinda sucks… But I mean, if you don’t trust the ISP modem, you can’t trust the rest of their infrastructure either anyway, so it’s kinda moot.
At least that way you have a vague chance of having a modicum of support when shit breaks.

If it can’t be put into bridge mode, it probably has some sort of DMZ function where it basically does port forwarding for any/all possible ports.
Double NAT isn’t as bad as it sounds these days.

Now to your question…
They exist, they’re mostly targeted at ISPs though, so might be a harder find than other things.
They might also be older, as basically all customers also want their ISP to provide Wi-Fi, which a bridge modem won’t.
Anyway,
You’ll have to know what DSL were talking about, there’s… ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2, etc

One old-ass model we used to use back in the day was… a Siemens 5200, but that’s ADSL2 at best, definitely not VDSL.

For Karl?

What they mean is they don’t have to do layoffs to please some publisher’s exec, they have the luxury of doing these things for their own greed.

“We don’t have to (but we do anyway)”

I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.
Knowing you can fallback to your backups helps a lot with confidence.

One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

The community is also hosted on lemm.ee which will shutdown, you’ll have to recreate the community on another instance.
I think piefed has a community migration feature but I have no experience with it.

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveries

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.

Sorry, I couldn’t find any contact info on https://lazysoci.al/ and I don’t think I have them in any matrix room.

You can use an adapter just fine.
Or use a 5.5" drive caddy, that’s just a little drawer that slides in and out.
Real question is it you have enough SATA connectors available.

During account deletion you can check the content removal box which will nuke everything in your account, there is no undo.

That’s probably your app’s UI being more confusing than it needs to.
Your account is on lemmy.world (at least the one you posted this from).
You can just open it in a browser and go to https://lemmy.world/
I find the web version less confusing than most client apps.

You can change your display name, but not the username.
Then again, you can always just make a new account and transfer your subscriptions and settings (but not your post/comment history).
