Well, if you have no kids, dont have strong roots and maybe even have saved a bit of money, I don’t see why you shouldn’t look into migrating somewhere else.
As long as academias obsession with „if you didn’t publish there (for example Nature), your paper is not worth much“ is still going on, nothing will change.
I have a Unifi router (Unifi cloud Gateway Fiber to be precise), which one you could argue is on the higher end of consumer hardware. But there are also more consumer oriented routers with that capability.
I am certainly not an expert by any stretch.
But here are my reasons:
Ability to isolate some “sketchy” IOT devices into an IOT only vlan, where they are not allowed to access the rest of the network, only the internet and incoming traffic from the other vlans.
Having a “clean” vlan/subnet for servers and services where I can give out static IPs without worrying about collisions with client devices
I attempted to move my whole 192.168.x network without vlan to a new 10.x network with vlans. I am still tracking down services and devices where I hardcoded in the old 192.168. ip adresses.
The problem is that a warmer planet will inevitably wreck the economy. There will be even more climate refugees, there will be war, there will be droughts and hunger. It is not about the days being slightly warmer.
It is about investing NOW so that we don’t need to pay tenfold in a few years.
