Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

And here i am super happy about 2 days ago redoing my entire home network... on ipv4 still. Had Orbi for about 8 years now, and it's getting outdated. My job is actually in networking, and we recently were throwing away tons of equipment, so I was able to grab brand new Cisco unmanaged 24 port business switch and a fortigate firewall that's way overkill for me. Configured the firewall with new networks and separated the orbi onto its own interface so it's basically just dedicated to wifi now and everything else on the new Cisco switch including my synology which I was finally able to use all 4 NIC ports bonded without my orbi struggling. I definitely notice a difference, and it's amazing. The biggest gain has been my ability to stream my 4k movies now without stutter. One day I'll attempt ipv6...
