That’ll work great up until the kid finds out about changing the MAC address.

And they’ve answered their own question by listing several valid candidates.

Right. One of the facets of cryptography is rounds: if you apply the same algorithm 10,000 times instead of just one, it might make it slightly slower each time you need to run it, but it makes it vastly slower for someone trying to brute-force your password.

Yes. There’s no real way to differentiate.

Well not never, you’ve got the Senators.

Which will never not be funny to me since it’s Latin for “old men”.

I’m not familiar with pangolin but it looks like they document how to set it up: https://docs.fossorial.io/Pangolin/Configuration/wildcard-certs

Or maybe it’s just a different skill set

If your university uses Office 365, G Suite, or a similar product, I would examine those options first.

Would it be able to handle a sudden power outage? A fire alarm going off?

Yes that’s a pretty normal graph feature for any dataviz application.

What’s in the logs?

Fringe cases yes, like rare conditions. It almost certainly won’t be able to handle something completely unexpected.

I’m not sure that you really need special software for this. Anything that can consume an API and produce graphs should be able to do it.

I don’t really recommend virtualizing network infrastructure. If you break proxmox, you will probably lose Internet access entirely.

Color coding

Opnsense on basically anything. That’s what I’d recommend as a platform, so see if they have recommended hardware for cell network support.

Or if you’re okay with commercial products, cradlepoint makes good cell network hardware. But you should still have a separate firewall/router and just use the cradlepoint as a modem.

Can you give me a link to that documenation and tooling? Because every time I go to troubleshoot an issue, I end up in a tangled mess of trying to figure out how systemd and NetworkManager have decided to configure themselves on this particular system, and I give up.

I don’t know how it happens, but I can set up Ubuntu on a dozen laptops in exactly the same way, and a week later they all have different configurations.

Even when DNS resolution isn’t working properly?

I’d just do it with a simple search and replace. Have done. I feel like relative paths leave too much room for human error.
