08:02 <sphalerite> I'm considering upgrading my home network a little, probably with a PC Engines APU2 board as a router, and wondering if anyone can recommend a particular brand of managed switch. Ideally, I'd like something that supports secure SSH (not needing to configure my client to accept older ciphers/kex methods), allows backups, has a sane CLI (at least somewhat)…

08:06 <sphalerite> Or maybe I should go with some appliance with more ports and just use multiple dumb switches…?

08:07 <sphalerite> What would be really nice is a switch integrated with the router tbh, like with many home routers, that can then be configured from linux

11:18 <flokli> sphalerite: if you

11:18 <flokli> 're fine doing some groundwork, there's some nice aarch64 boards with switchdev

11:19 <flokli> I have a turris mox here somewhere not too far in my backlog that I intend to NixOS-ify.

11:20 <sphalerite> oooh, that could be nice

11:20 <sphalerite> I'll have more aarch64 systems in production personally than amd64 :D

11:21 <flokli> I still need to check on https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7478 on that box

11:21 <{^_^}> systemd/systemd#7478 (by smurfix, 2 years ago, open): systemd-networkd support for DSA ("Distributed Switch Architecture")

11:21 <flokli> But I wanted to get out systemd in better shape first
