  • This is specific to my old neighborhood:

    It goes to a small hub, looked like a small green stantion/pillar, that connects the nearby houses. My old home’s was in my backyard, at one point I saw about 6 other runs for neighbors.

    Then that hub, with bigger/more cables, connects to a larger hub. This was in the middle of my neighborhood by the school, and it was a quite large green box, probably 6ft tall.

    From there I didn’t know where it went, but same concepts apply. That would go to an even larger hub, connecting multiple neighborhoods. Depending on your area and ISP, eventually they hit an end point your ISP manages which is probably a big building where they’re “connected to the rest of the internet.”




  • Think of it as more modular.

    I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.

    Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.

    Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.

    The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.






  • Get Unraid for your server OS. Its nuts how good it is at being beginner friendly, while being robust when needed. It has a docker app “store”, as well as plugins, and a virtual machine manager as well. It also has a very, very nice Web GUI: you manage the server from another PC you use in your house.

    I can not overstate how much I learned by starting with Unraid.
