Hello, I have a question on my mind. I am new to the world of Networking. One of the first things I started learning is Network Devices.
The device through which we connect to the ISP, what is its exact name? (((The most common device found in most homes)))

It performs the function of a modem, and it performs the function of a router.
Is it at the same time a switch because it contains several ports?
Or it could be a router and it contains several ports

And is it WAP?
Or it could be a router and at the same time we can connect to it via WIFI

Firstly, I know that this device has the function of a modem and a router at the same time, but can it also be WAP and Switch at the same time?

Or Can it be a router and perform the functions of WAP and switch?

If no, What is the name of this "multi-function" device!!

It's simplified for consumers, and like "sticky tape" becomes "sellotape"

Look at this paragraph

Question for someone:

Which device connects a network to the Internet?

This is the answer of someone who seems have a experience:

Generally speaking, you need a device to convert your ISP signal into a data stream. That device is a modem. Then you need a device to send the data stream to the proper devices on your network; a router.

Since you specify a network, I assume you already have a switch which connects the various devices on your network together. And you already have a router to control the switch. You may also have WiFi Access Points to connect devices to the switch.

Usually, a residential internet service provider (ISP) will provide a single device that contains a modem, router, switch (often 4 port), and WiFi Access Point. Some people incorrectly call this device a modem or router, which just makes things confusing.

So the answer to your question: If you already have a functional network- that has a router and switch- you need a modem. If the ISP provides the “multi-purpose” device, you can eliminate your router and switch, and use what the ISP provides.

# naive violet It's not wrong, it's colloqualised.

Perhaps because the most popular product currently available is the router modem. Most homes use this device, so they started calling the device a router, because the modem is no longer present in general.

naive violet
#

Yes, and they're non technical

#

The difference simply does not matter to consumers

#

It's pedantic, really, to take issue with it

#

Technology gets oversimplified in this way all the time

Yeah, I miss the "ditch skype, come to discord" marketing days

now discord is worse in lots of aspects

#

especially performance since everyone just has to use electron

"It's on electron"

tepid furnace
#

I don't usually even keep up with discord nowdays

idle mica
tepid furnace
#

I grow to dislike it more and more as time goes on

#

ever since they went public it's gone downhill

#

not to mention discord sells your conversations to train llm's off of cough

hello

for your friends sake I hope the next platform has a similar is not better bot system

but discord is just

so gross

#

on dev practices/overall decline

idle mica
#

Yeah, if it does, I'm sure we can move it over. There were talks about it with Guilded years ago before Roblox bought them, but it fizzled out

tepid furnace
#

but the real people to blame are the shareholders

#

anytime a company goes public you have 1-2 years before it sucks

sick lance
rapid merlin
tepid furnace
#

this is why real homies use steam chat

idle mica
#

Yeah, that do be the trend. That's what the whole developer terms update feels like. Investors saying "hey uhhhh pay us?" because they'll make a killing off of all the bot revenue by taking so much of it

tepid furnace
#

yep

#

also discord ignoring the main userbase

#

whenever they make any changes

#

iirc isnt signal struggling a little bit too?

#

I know comparing apples to oranges but

#

@idle mica more indepth profile btw

#

the buttons for mutuals look different

idle mica
tepid furnace

I thought about swapping over to signal awhile ago

but the issue is you cant convince any of the friends to lol

idle mica
#

Damn, I should ask them to put CASP+ and GSEC on there 🤣

tepid furnace
#

also phone number

idle mica
#

Yeah, that's the only reason I'm still on Discord tbh. All my friends are here and my community

tepid furnace
#

Yeah

idle mica
#

We were looking at making a community on matrix or something. I don't remember the name specifically, but it's more of a privacy-focused alternative

tepid furnace
#

what's the platform like?

#

basically the same as disc or a bit different?

arctic cradle
#

new day to study about digital forensics (although I've done this myself)

wanton ingot
#

I see there is a new advanced server-side attacks module released. Is there any way to see this on the site (new releases)? I only know it's out because I saw on twitter, it would be nice if there was a way to filter ALL content by newest (like we can see newest rooms on the right). Maybe there is a way to do this and I just can't find it

tepid furnace
#

Ah I see

tepid furnace
#

I see

wanton ingot
rapid merlin
#

@idle mica nice to see you here.

tepid furnace
#

I feel like that'd be a bit too much work for the average user

idle mica
#

And yeah, what Hymnosi said. I don't know a whole ton about it besides it looking very interesting

tepid furnace
#

yeah that's also fair

idle mica
#

I think we were looking at a bridge to sync the two so people could still participate in conversations no matter where they were, but I think it'd be a huge pain

tepid furnace
#

and then it's a game of convincing people to get to swap to it

#

well even then you have to be careful

#

you could take the minecraft example

#

even when hosting minecraft servers on your own hardware mojang still has a say in what is allowed on the servers and can ban you for the content

idle mica
#

As I've gotten older, I've stopped caring as much. I just want stuff that works so I can focus on what I enjoy. Life is short enough as is and going full throttle with self-hosting and privacy stuff just wasn't worth the effort I was putting in

tepid furnace
#

That's another aspect of it too

idle mica
#

But Matrix/Element is pretty interesting regardless and I still wanna get to understanding it better

tepid furnace
#

something something, confidentaility vs usability

#

yeah

#

I just wish people would take their privacy even just a little more serious

idle mica
#

Yeah, I think there is a reasonability factor. Do what you feel is reasonable for you, sort of thing

tepid furnace
#

like some people not turning off geotagging in pictures they take

idle mica
#

I employ NextDNS, browser ad block, use better services, etc, but it's all stuff that isn't mega time consuming

tepid furnace
#

then uploading said images to the internet

idle mica
#

God yeah. Simple stuff that goes a long way

tepid furnace
#

#

Same, I hate it when they tag me in stuff

tepid furnace
#

that's a fair point

wanton ingot
#

most cysec people I speak to have a similar position on privacy - will follow basic best practices but not going to faraday cage their house and lower their quality of life because they know their data will always be collected, and even then they are a drop in the ocean and not that interesting

tepid furnace
#

I have to do the same with a snapchat

wanton ingot
#

you can take it to a super extreme level if you want to sacrifice QoL (imo), or you can just accept that you will never have 100% privacy if you're using digital products

Belkasoft X is a good Digital Forensics tool that has recently added in BelkaGPT that can analyze the evidence and make duecisison on what is what.

"vPenTest is equivalent to hiring a team of eCPPT, OSCP, and OSCE certified consultants with decades of experience and over 13 industry certifications to help you carry out a network penetration test with the click of a few buttons. Be Secure. Be Fast. Be the Hacker."

How much experience did you bring?

#

And what was the level #?

idle mica
#

If your goal is to drop onto the network and "hack all the stuff", like a pentest, then AI is starting to become capable of that but it is scoping and human business nuanced understanding that it lacks. Red team engagements are a game of chess, where you have an objective that you have to hit in the least amount of moves possible, which AI just... isn't there and won't be for a while

Why would you use/buy a switch if all of its functionalities is usually already integrated in your router?
Heard somewhere that a WAN can be a VPN? Isn't that contradictory? since WANs are used to connect LANs, (so basically local ip addreses from different routers for example, right?) while VPNs encrypt your data and hide your real ip and connect you to the internet

@terse edge please.dont self advertise.

terse edge
#

What is self advertise?

#

You cannot share something you wrote?

sick lance
#

We'd prefer if they were kept to #resources with some interaction

terse edge
#

What is that we can share and can't share?

#

Well I was talking about my dev career earlier and the context was knowing linux more than windows or any other os. It wasn't without it.

#

Self advertising would be if I were selling something or if I were to gain something from someone of value.

sick lance
#

Yeah, but everyone posted their own stuff they wrote in general, gjere wouldn't be much talking done

terse edge
#

Which is why I'd like to know exactly how you classify self advertisement so I can be mindful

sick lance
terse edge
#

I thought you did. Either that or gains something of value.
Otherwsise it's not 'ad' vertising.

#

Sharing is sharing. Advertising is advertising.

sick lance
#

Not quite.

#

You can advertise a blog etc.

terse edge
#

Well when you have a minute, please clarify it so I'm not confused anymore

#

I don't want to self-advert out of order or out of place inappropriately.

#

Because I do like to share things and be social

#

Also earlier I asked about opinions on my business website and Jabba commented, advised, I made site a bit bettter, fixed some isues. etc. even that wasn't an issue. That wasn't even considered self advertisement.

#

If me sharing my business website isn't advertisement, then surely some cod eI wrote isn't advertisement.

#

And Jabba is the Admin here.

sick lance
#

You're interaction with the community is high, the major issue is using #general to post what you created, if you could use #resources that would be better, and don't over promote.

terse edge
#

Oh ok

#

Understood

sick lance
#

We have the "no self advertising" for newer members who just dump their githibs and go

terse edge
#

That makes sense.

sick lance

Yeah, Jabba is one of 3 administrators, but he is the community manager.

terse edge
#

It takes a while to get to know people and make friends.

sick lance
#

Yeah, chat is harder also as you can't tell the tone somethings are spoken in, so it's hard to pick who is being sarcastic and not. (For some people)

So true

slender scaffold

#

The mature thing to do online, is not read tone, because you can't. You don't have that information. On a textual medium, you read things in your own voice, in your own manner, and never in the voice or manner of the person actually saying something. So be extremely careful how you read things online. Always give benefit of doubt.

shut hawk

terse edge
#

I have to constantly remind others that when they read online, they read in their own voice in their own head. Not in the voice or tone of the author.

#

People read things online, and instantly get triggered, then try to come after you because of it.

uh oh it was a bad idea to run fzf in shadows home dir

lament tendon
#

What does fzf do? Apart from fzfzfz your home dir?

sand trench
#

if you run it without any other commands it lets you search for full file paths for all folder under the dir you ran it in

#

but it does not ignore wine paths which have symlinkx to / which means it starts indexing all files on shadows entire system

#

hence eventually gets laggy

lament tendon
#

Whahaha

sand trench
#

it lags a bit but still easy to close without any harm done

lament tendon
#

Symlinks are pure jank, ngl. xD

sand trench
#

also probably not that effective to find a file by searching entire system

sand trench

I used to symlink binaries and custom scripts before I learned what aliases are.

sand trench

shadow uses a symlink farm to handle dotfiles

using gnu stow

Also I got to look into stow, if that does what I think it does, it‘ll safe me some huge pain with config backups.

#

Thanks for the pointer.

sand trench
#

no problem

#

and yeah it is probably the best dotfile management system shadow has found so far

#

easier to use then git bare repos and less problems

#

also can make it very very neat

#

also makes shadows dotfiles more or less modular

#

which is interesting to say the least

lament tendon

Got a bash script for automation. But it‘s not perfect by far.
