Have had 2 kids experience this I can tell that it's the opposite, the Chromebook supplied to the school were the bottom of the barrel in terms of cost and performance, the vast majority of UK (primary) schools are in debt and can't afford better. Which led to the kids actively saying they don't want a Chromebook as they are rubbish.
I don't even have a web interface on my server, so with that in mind: If they are managing it day to day, get a qnap device, my none tech friend has one, started with a 2bay now has a 4 bay with 8tb drives (QNAP TS-464). I've only ever had to help him with the old one, can't remember what the problem was but 10mins and the command line and it was fixed.
Also have a look at true as or hexos, I think they have immich as an app, not 100% sure
I usually don't bother with most dot files, if any at all. If I'm copying anything local it's just easier to use scp on the file, or tar a group then scp it where I want. Obviously you need ssh installed
I mean yes, but also no, firewalls exist for a reason, and it's not just for stopping connections coming in but also connections going out. The only way I can see this been a serious problem is if they have some kind of radio receiver/transmitter or an esim that's active on a UK phone network.
I always thought of maths as a language, and physics as using that language to describe everything in the world. I often describe my physics degree as a degree in problem solving, so a maths degree would be similar but more abstract problem solving. So for jobs just about anything that is technical or requires abstract thought.
Can't you just put ha on a trunk port, then configure the ha os with multiple vlans, that's how I usually do servers that are available to multiple vlans, make sure each vlan has it's own /24.
Make sure each ssid is mapped to only one vlan. And if possible a different channel for each ssid. As multiple ssids share the same channel. I forced all the iot things on to 2.4ghz as most don't like combined 2.4/5ghz ssids, and 5ghz for everything else.
/datapool or whatever the array is called for zfs pools, I often do /mail on mail servers, and /www on web servers. Not sure why but it makes it super obvious what's going on when you login remotely
Just wait until you get older, things that involve money get compounded, I made a decision at uni 2001 to not study ai, I decided bitcoin wasn't worth it when that dude bought a pizza with it, bought a house too late and just before the financial crash. I did notice that bad shit was about to go down or at least the potential to at xmas 2019 with covid, not that there was much I could do about it. (Probably due to playing pandemic)
Most decisions in life are a gamble, and usually the odds are stacked massively against you, so don't worry about it too much
Both can be true at the same time, it's when new features get added that things become a problem. I had a perfectly well functioning plotter and photocopier using a TCP/IP ports, windows decided that all printers and the computer should now use IPP changed the drivers and everything, that was a fun afternoon
