Wow. And I thought I was security conscious! Good job!Two laptops put together that i had dissembled several months back that i should build in to a 4U chassis for a low powered HA cluster.
This two had broken chassis, one broken hinges and cracked chassis.. one had not all parts and also cracked chassis and a broken screen and a broken keyboard.
So i have been cutting plastic from other things, then plastic welded both chassis, i took parts from other broken laptops(read spare-part laptops).. and one i had do make a new bottom chassis to as that one was missing.
Darn i started at 3AM to 6AM yesterday.. then today after 5PM up to now... and with a lot of breaks as i dont have the energy for continuous work.
So a total of 6 hours in total.. and now i have two laptops to start installing OS, Hermes and LLM's on.
As i no longer have my collapsed core network and home-lab and Vlans.. i have to do a home-network-cheat-solution for safe isolation..
AI-agents is dangerous in a network. *LOL*
So i will take an old EOL router.. i have an old Netgear 1GBit Lan 100Mbit Wan.. so that one can become a cheat-isolated-vlan. That router Wlan will be hooked up to my other Laptop i run VM's on and use a USB-lan adapter as passthrough to a VM that has a isolated VPN-connection and network monitoring.
I hope that will be enough network security if the AI-agent run amok.
*Afterthought* - I still hate AI
