I fucked something up and installed pihole and adguard at the same time both in a container and bare metal and received a massive load of error messages that after 2 hours of trying to unstick just formatted the SD card and started over. So then, installing and configuring ssh, fstab the external drive, set a static IP address on the pi took up all of my time so far.

yes - grew up in the 80s so witticisms like “4 bits is a nybble” are stuck in the brain.

Although it doesn’t seem relevant it’s actually pretty illuminating in what IP addresses are and do so thank you for that

that’s a helpful explanation of subnets thank you

In the paradigm of

111.222.3.4:5/22

if “3” is subnet and “5” is port - what are the names of “4”, “222”, “111”, and “22”?

And is there ever a 000.111.222.3.4:5/22 or another add on?

yes, wlan vs eth, right? And then in some providers, tun for the vpn?

Even if they are in separate rooms, they just have to be on the same network?
