> #1 is buy yourself a hub, NOT a switch.

What?? You don’t have to buy a hub to learn networking. Switch with port mirroring works fine; a couple of VMs with packet sniffing on the interfaces work even better. I am not even sure if you still can buy a hub in 2024 - I’ve not seen any since like 2005? This advice is weird.
