I am missing my pizza cutter

Good luck finding it.

May I share a joke?

Argon enters the pub. The waiter aplogizes and says "Sorry, we do not serve to noble gases".

What does Argon do?
Nothing, it doesn't react

/edit: A good way to learn about technical terms and their usage is to read a manual's english version and only take the one in your native language as a reference in case of doubt. The same can be said about watching english videos about topics that you already understand technically.

Ok everyone, let's talk about IT infrastructure now. Regarding network topology, please explain to me what your understanding of "ring redundancy" is. What kind of level of redundancy does a ring on its own supply, and what could we gain if there would be two redundant rings?

I am not enough of a geek to have a deeper understanding of network topoogy, but I would think that an discussion about this would be very helpful.
I wonder, is it worth setting up a Pi hole, when talking about networking in general.

From my experience a good mantained "dnsmasq" blocking list, will do most of the job for one computer, I am not sure about a network in whole.

Also, yesterday and the day before yesterday, I was cleaning up two tower pcs from a friend of mine which are not used anymore and which I gladly took in my hands. These are, kinda or kind of, old machines with dual-core processors ranging from 2,3 GHz to 2.8 GHz. One does not include any storage but is fully working besides that. The other one has two harddrives on which one hosts Windows and the other is empty and could be used to run a Linux system.

Anyhow. I am looking for real use cases of this machines. I was thinking about a replacement desktop pc for my mother. Or a network storage server, but I have not checked yet, if the hardware supports more modern hard drives. And those both PCs are only 32 bit systems with kinda low RAM.

So, does anyone have a clue about the further usage of this computers?

Split, you totally got me on "Pi hole". I never heard about that, to be honest. The ring I was talking about is some kind of redundancy that basically ensures that if one component fails, your production plant will still be
a) able to continue automated operation which is granted by industrial PLCs
b) able to accept manual input from human operators via HMI

Regarding your "new" PC systems, RAM can be updated. 32bit is some kind of limiting. In my old days, old hardware was used to DIY a firewall / filter of some kind.
