  • Not a professional networking guy either but here’s my opinion.

    What I would do is use the ISP router as is, open all ports on it (except to itself, hopefully it doesn’t do that…), and put a firewall in between the router and everything else that controls the actual access to everything behind it (in bridge mode between the two network interfaces of the firewall, so you only have the one network).

    Could a potential second router also assign addresses to devices in that globally routable space directly?

    Devices in IPv6 assign addresses themselves via SLAAC, you just need one device advertising the prefix which the ISP router should already do. The firewall should be able to just purely be there for packet filtering. If you need fixed addresses for public facing servers I would just assign them manually to the respective boxes as you likely also need to add them to public DNS manually anyway.










  • I see that it can be slower because of having all the dependencies included with the flatpak itself instead of relying solely on whats installed on the system.

    No. Packing its own libraries wouldn’t make it slower. If anything it would be the extra access checks added by the sandbox (which is optional FWIW, apps don’t have to use it). I haven’t ever used Flatpak but I would assume the sandbox impact is minimal if at all noticeable.








  • I’ve been trying VS Codium out for Rust/C++ development after avoiding it for years. (Used to use CLion until it for some reason stopped scaling consistently a couple days ago after I reinstalled my PC.)

    So far it’s pretty good, except that run configurations seem extremely half baked and inconsistent between the two languages (or rather between build systems, at least for CMake, which doesn’t use the built in one at all; maybe specifically because it is half baked).
