       @hacks4pancakes I'm reminded of the XKCD "Devotion to Duty" comic.

       @ian @hacks4pancakes I thought those were more of a psilocybin thing.

       @ian @hacks4pancakes takes a while but you’ll get there. Took me five years but I was building the OS at the same time so you’ll probably do it quicker.

       @ian @hacks4pancakes Right? Vlans are not to be understood by mere human though. By suppressing that, it is possible to obtain a configuration that works, yet doesn't make any sense.

       @ian @hacks4pancakes I will fully admit that everyone else is like 1000x smarter than I am, but weirdly VLANs are one of those things that I do understand, without liquor. Now, could I explain it to someone, that’s debatable.

       @ian @hacks4pancakes It’s like a regular LAN, but virtual. And then there are all these hardware specific limitations on what you can do due to the underlying ASICs of the switch.

       @ian @hacks4pancakes vlans are just packets with additional metadata slapped on them, that the network pretends it can’t see unless it’s told explicitly that it’s ok.
