Nah, if that’s the goal they’ll just use Neutrino Bombs (look them up, they’re crazy what they’re designed to do)

Ml is a ticking time bomb. Mali is starting to take back its domain and lemmy.ml could go offline at any time. OP specifically noted that too.

as recently as 2005

You do realize that’s almost 20 years ago. That’s like saying “well you realize in 1985…” Back in 2005.

(The 2000s have been a blur for me time wise too)

I often times wonder if an extraterrestrial threat would be a unifying factor or if people would still be selfish unless it affected them. The pandemic was the closest we’ve seen to a world level threat recently and it just increased selfishness IMO (at least in the US)

How it’s implemented can vary, but you’re gonna take one of three approaches

• Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there’s no overlap
• Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
• Separate subnets - if your router doesn’t support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.
