You definitely should still check this, but even with proper indexing settings Windows is still garbage at search and has been since XP.
And this is coming from one of the only people who ever defends MS on Lemmy.

Yep, that would work fine for the first line of defense. Eventually, you can expand it to copy, replicate, or drive swap the onprem backups offsite somewhere (e.g., cloud, office, or family member) if you want to protect your data from site loss (e.g., house fire).
The only thing missing is a good backup.
If you are storing anything important -- especially Immich and Vaultwarden data -- you should have a good offsite protection strategy. And even the HASS config should be backed up with versioning because rebuilding from scratch could be painful once you get deep into it.
I'll let others chime in on possible good backup options because I use Veeam and Azure, which really isn't in the spirit of this community, and I'd be interested in good open source options myself.
Also, RAID (mirroring) is NOT a backup.
Lol Microsoft is not even close to a walled garden. This is just them removing the password manager feature that nobody used from their authenticator app.
Exactly! It's not like you need them to learn good habits to become self-sufficient workers when they grow up.
As much as we beg and plead him, our dog is never going out to get a job. Might as well spoil him with treats and belly rubs!
The easiest way that doesn't affect the main network would be to use a travel router. Its WAN IP would be the private IP it gets from the main network (over wireless since that's your only option). And it would NAT your network onto that IP and then you can do whatever you want on your network.
I'm not sure if that Mikrotik router will do this but it might. You basically need something that can connect to an SSID and use that interface as its WAN interface. The wireless factor here is really limiting your choices. If you had a wired uplink to the main network you could use any router/gateway/firewall you wanted. You could also use an AP in bridge mode to connect to the main network's SSID and wire it to the WAN port of any router of your choice.
You don't really need to use VLANs to separate your network from the main network unless you want to share any of the same layer 2 segments (basically wired Ethernet) while keeping it isolated. But it doesn't really sound like that applies in your scenario. Of course using VLANs within your network would still make sense if that applies (for example, to separate your server traffic from your IoT traffic).
They're only killing the crappy store/UWP version that nobody used anyway and only caused confusion. The normal OneNote bundled in Office isn't going anywhere as far as I know.
That said, I've moved a lot of my note taking to Obsidian. It's not a perfect replacement but it's a fantastic markdown editor and now I use both for different use cases.
Most DNS queries are UDP.
I'd do a modified scream test and change old.domain to something like 1.2.3.4. Then run sudo netstat or ss with -tpn, grepping for 1.2.3.4.
Or something like grep -r old.domain /etc.
