  • Hi, network engineer with a specialization in mikrotik, you’re on the right track.

    You would configure the router to use one radio as your WAN connection, then NAT your internal connection using a masquerade rule. Pretty simple setup.

    Some notable drawbacks for this dependent on model is that you will lose wireless speed as you will be using your wireless for upstream and downstream devices. This can be solved by using an AP on a different channel.

    Note that mikrotik gives you a lot of ways to cut off your hands, so use safe mode for everything.

    The specific topology you’re wanting to set up is something they teach you on day one at any mikrotik certification course.






  • Because American educational institutions are not and haven’t been about academia and learning for some time. It’s a good ol’ boys club you pay with daddy’s money or massive amounts of debt to be a part of, to give you a piece of paper you can use to virtue signal to other people who wasted similar amounts of money in the same place.

    Hiring in IT has been an eye opener, I actively distrust people who present their degree as their first and foremost point of hirability; because they’re usually useless.





  • We are all witnessing a master class in fucking with the trans community, that’s what’s going on

    The short version is the a user, initially “dragon fucker”, who then changed their name to “dragon rider” to make the bit less obvious, was the embodiment of the “Apache attack helicopter gender identity” meme.

    The premise of their identity is that they fuck dragons, and their pronouns are “drag”. This is, on its face, hilariously delusional at absolute best and a troll at worst.

    My list of issues with drag is long, but some of their greatest hits:

    Reporting everyone who didn’t play along with them as transphobic. This caused issues over at Bahaj who, bless their heart, gave drag the benefit of the doubt.

    Harassing users in DMs, up to and including pictures of themselves saying “bet you would like some of my girlcock” or something to that affect

    Things get a little conspiratorial past this line

    I’ve been around Lemmy for a while now, and after seeing drag talk, I am 100% convinced they’re another iteration of an equally terrible user called DroneRights.

    It was the same MO, their “gender” was that they were a “drone” in a “hive mind”. Again, patently absurd and should never have been taken seriously, except they would regularly try to get users banned for being “transphobic”.

    I think all of this is just a bit to subtract from actual trans issues, which is exactly what it did. It reframed the discussion around gender identity and pronouns on Lemmy to “oh but what about “xenogenders”, and “neo-pronouns”, which is like…. Just the epitome of what the left gets made fun of for at this point.

    It all ended with drag getting banned from blahaj for sharing DMs with the admin, though I’m sure it was a straw that broke the camels back kind of situation

    I hypothesize we see another, similarly deranged account within a few weeks and the cycle will continue.
