Imagine a world where the United States' main export wasn't hate for the United States.

That's not going to stop people from sending in their photos and videos to get "Ghiblified"

TIL that, according to Wiktionary, Ghiblified is a word.

Professors are expensive though and AIs are brought to you free by your favorite technocrats.

Reinstall shouldn't be required but you'll likely need to build a new initrd to ensure the boot process has the right drivers.

Starting to remember more about how this is done.  It's been over 10 years since I had a similar setup working.  Are you VLANing first then slaving to the VLANS?  

This post is a bit difficult to follow without being able to examine actual configurations. The bridged VLAN setup is a chain of configs in the RedHat configuration methodology. One of those configs is definitely clobbering the others but it seems you're close. I'm sure a careful review of your work so far will be enough to find the error.

Wouldn't this be more appropriate for PeerTube?

Also seconding doing this from your own instance.  A lot of these Fediverse setups are donation supported.  Don't go wasting those funds for them.

ClamAV is probably the way to go. While there are UIs available in various states of maintenance, it's not really necessary. The way ClamAV works is that runs a scan on daemon (re)start then continually monitors the system from there. One of it's best features is that you don't really need to worry about it.

but in the year 2525 all life on earth will be extinct

No problem!  Good luck and remember to be patient throughout this process.  Regardless of how it turns out, you will have learned a lot.
