Gotcha. It makes sense.
If my router allowed a rule to be defined as such, would it be possible to explicitly block 192.168.1.[0-255]?
Not that it sounds like the best idea in the world. I'm warming up to the idea of using 172.* instead of 192.168.*. There should be no way for the networks to see each other if they're working off of entirely different subnets.

It's likely that the firewalls in most routers are not that sophisticate that they can detect and exclude a subset of ip addresses from within a given set of the same in building default forwarding rules.
|

Edumacate me:
Wouldn't 172.16.x.x/16 and 192.168.0.0/16 allow for the same number of endpoints (65534), given that /16 essentially means a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0?
I think I need to brush up on my subnet literature.

Right, they are the same, namely 256*256-2 (2 excluded are special ip addresses ends with 0 or 255).

The key to doing this is to turn off the DHCP server on the ISP's router. It can broadcast WiFi all it wants but if it's not a DHCP server nothing will connect to it by accident.

Yup. The router supplied by our ISP has the login credentials printed on the bottom. We need to provide WiFi for visitors. Since we run static IP's, I turned off WiFi in the ISP's router, changed the log in credentials and put a "smart" router on a separate public IP, blocked objectionable stuff and social media, then put a label with the credentials on a separate access point.
I had a client, some years back, who had me set up blocking for social media then made the browser message say: "Get back to work". (I would have added the exclamation point but am afraid Chris would kick me out).

There is never enough time to do it right, but there is enough time to do it over.

It's probably not quite enough to just turn off DHCP; my router was previously set up so it provided my ISP credentials back to my ISP.
I'm guessing I have to set up my ISP's router in bridge mode, and (when I reintroduce my router on the network) have it provide the credentials for my new ISP, along with other settings I probably know nothing about. I'll be sure to follow up with my new ISP to determine how to get that going, 'cuz I really do hate leaving them in charge.

I do the same, just to keep it simple. But, I still buy my own router that just works with their service. So, in effect, it's not really different than having my own router inside the network elsewhere. Just less stuff to mess with.

Yeah, I think right now that's my next goal: DON'T change their router's configuration at all, if I can help it...but introduce my own router in-between it, and my switch (to which all my other systems are connected). I'm not sure how to configure it however. My router's running DD-WRT.

Update: Here goes nothing. Visual FA Part 1: Understanding Finite Automata[^]
Man, my Visual FA project sure has given me fits.
First I crack on at it for like 4 days and then write an article.
A bit later I realize the whole endeavor is seriously bogus and needs a rewrite.
The article gets deleted.
So, more carefully this time, I rewrite the entire thing, benchmarking against Microsoft the whole way.
I think it's done finally. I thought that last time too. I checked though. (I checked last time too)
I'm scared to write the article now. I've got cold feet. On the other hand, I'm freaked out by not writing it, because regardless of the reality of it, that bad post feels like a stain on my reputation here.
"It's not a big deal", I tell myself. Stuff happens, and it's how we move on from that that matters.
Well, I'm not moving on so easy. It's silly, I know.

I suggest that you look up statistics on how many peer-reviewed articles are withdrawn either before or after publication. This, by scientists who supposedly take great care in performing their research. It won't make you feel better, but at least you'll be in good company. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Okay that on a personal level makes me feel better.
But in the big scheme of things, I worry for us as a species.

If only the pay to publish market had that same withdrawal rate.

Post it, lady! This is a community, and the purpose of articles is not only to teach, but to learn! You have an entire community that will let you know if there's something wrong, and most of them will help you to get it right. That is, if it isn't already! You're the Codewitch; we await your next spell.

Write it. If you don’t, you will forever regret it. Also, by writing it, you will be helping others who are interested in what you’re doing. Me, I don’t understand much of what you’re doing; I’m only a dabbler in programming. It took me awhile to realise what DNF stood for in one of your previous posts. I assume it means Dot Net Framework.
I’d like to read your article to try and understand more of what you’re doing.
|
|

|

yeah it means DotNet Framework. I hate that there actually needs to be such a disambiguation. .NET was supposed to just be .NET. Now there are 31 flavors of .NET, Diet .NET, Dr. NET, Cherry Vanilla .NET with Lime.
I'm over it. 
I did publish the article, and I updated my original post accordingly around the same time you wrote your response.

Well done for biting the bullet and writing the article. I’ve started to read it. May I make one small suggestion? You introduce the acronym ’AST’. To help a layperson such as myself, is it possible to expand on what the acronym means within the article? I was always told when doing technical writing to explain an acronym on its first use and then it’s fine to use it as often as required.

Oversight on my part. Thanks for catching it. I did explain it in the last article attempt. I thought I did so here too. I'm kinda tired.
It stands for Abstract Syntax Tree

Set up a Dev Drive on Windows 11 | Microsoft Learn[^]
Anyone tried it yet? Any good? Worth doing? Or a risky way to scramble a SSD because MS is involved and they don't seem to be testing much these days ...

I just set up a DevDrive to see what it was all about.
Moved a project I'm working on over to the new drive, fired up VS2017 got references comfigured, compiled...check.
Run...BSOD
After reboot the project won't load and the csproj file, when opened with a hex editor (HxD) it's all double boogers.
So to answer you're question, it's a typical uSoft SNAFU.

Thanks for that - sorry about your project - I'll leave it a while then.

Took me quite a bit of reading to find the following...
"Dev Boxes will come pre-configured to use Dev Drives so that teams who develop in the cloud will realize these perf gains automatically."
So it has something to do with that. I don't want to develop on the cloud. If my network goes down I can keep working.
However per the chart on the link from the original page why would anyone be doing a "local" git repo clone on such a regular basis that they need it to be faster? For me the only thing that is going to make me developer faster is if they find a way to speed up my brain.
Then it also appears that one of the comparisons is doing a build of the entire Java Spring codebase. If your project is that big you should learn a bit about decomposing projects because doing it that way guarantees maintenance problems.

It's the fingers that need speeding up for me!
