    The people who support mowing down civilians with tanks in an effort to protect authoritarian regimes, just because they label themselves as communist.

    Almost 100% overlap with “Murica bad!”, which while true in a vacuum, ignores that other countries can also be bad. This results in tankies unironically supporting the Kim family or doing some heavy revisionism around Stalin.














  • Unmanaged switches don’t care about VLAN tags, spanning trees, management interfaces, or LACP.

    Managed switches care about at least some of those features and therefore will have a management interface to configure them, as well as firmware supporting them.

    A dumb/unmanaged switch will look up the MAC address of the intended recipient and map that to a port before forwarding a packet to a particular port. A managed switch might do a lot more.

    If you don’t need a managed switch, don’t buy one. If you’re OK with everything on one port being able to communicate with anything on another port, and connectivity is your only concern, you’re probably going to be fine with an unmanaged switch.
