re: request for help with networking sorcery (a bit long)
@Gulfie that's what i was thinking, yeah. probably the main network over wifi and then it's just plugged straight into the ps2 with an ethernet cable... well, maybe that would make it harder to connect the ps2 to the wider internet for online functionality... hmm.
PS2 modding, piracy
Did you know: nowadays you can actually run copies of games on any slimline PS2, even completely unmodded ones, without doing any sort of modifications to your console!
All you need is:
- A game/software ISO of your choice
- This patching tool: https://github.com/edo9300/esr-disc-patcher-cli (compiles cross-platform)
- This archive: https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9737 (contains data files and an example batch script on how to use the tool, plus a pre-built binary of unknown legitimacy)
- A *slimline* PS2
This lets you basically 'prefix' any existing ISO with the FreeDVDBoot exploit (explained here: https://cturt.github.io/freedvdboot.html), and so after burning it to DVD, any unmodded console boots straight into the game/software via a DVD player exploit.

disclaimer that this is a High-Growth Area for me, i.e. i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing and am trying my best to learn as i go
request for help with networking sorcery (a bit long)
let's see if i can explain this in a way that makes sense and doesn't make me sound silly
i want to set up network file access for my home's local network, so i can access files from various devices without having to manually copy them over. every potential client i have is perfectly fine with SMB 3.0... except for one (a playstation 2 with some homebrew software), which only accepts SMB 1.0 for whatever reason. i don't want to enable a deprecated file sharing protocol for the entire network, so i'd like to limit it to as close to the troublesome client as i can.
is it possible to set up some kind of "relay," like in the diagram, that presents a network share or a subset of it to the ps2 via SMB 1.0 while the rest of the network can use newer protocols?
@mimir does it think it knows something you don't about the contents of jump_table, perhaps

@MiaWinter that is definitely an alien spy device masquerading as a gpu case
@Felthry there's nothing absurd about incurable diseases! be sure to inoculate your cell phones and PDAs
@mcc a quick google led me to this article: https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/differences-russian-ukrainian
the "main linguistic differences" section enumerates a few letters unique to each language, and some notes about differences in pronunciation. so it seems learning russian will get you most of the way there, but you'll still have some learning to do to accurately read ukranian names
@riley knowing the police, they probably wouldn't have the funding to exist or they'd get sued into oblivion
@agatha good night
im guessing its because of interference or something, which i cant really fix, so im just gonna see if a wifi extender and an ethernet adapter will work
@noiob the router does also have a 5G network but it uses a different SSID
