I use photo prism but be aware they paywall features

I’ve had good luck with the two inland nvmes I got from microcenter if you’re trying to save a buck. Samsung 970s have been good too, I’ve got 8 of them running at work.

The water is not that hot!

My guy Wendell says that Hardware Raid is Dead and is a Bad ldea in 2022

I shill audiobookshelf every chance I get.

The controller also handles roaming, as I understand it. I have a software controller on a VM. They provide a .deb! I have 3 EAP670s and an EAP-655-Wall. Roaming works perfectly on phones and laptops. I have a hidden SSID on each individual AP that I use to lock dumber stuff. Some devices fight the AP Lock on Omada.

I see the value in going 100% omada, but I couldn’t justify the cost of the switches I’d need. Their routers look good for the price too, but my use case is a notch or two above their target market.

But a company is a sum of these (and other) people. In this case, it’s a draw at best, not a win.

WAN, LAN, management And one to grow on!

I run pihole on proxomox, and also opnsense in the same box. Then you can forward all port 53 traffic to your pihole. Some devices have hard-coded DNS that will bypass the DHCP DNS.

Yup. It’s got built in browser based text reader and an audio player.

FYI, readarr needs separate instances for audio and text. Wasn’t worth the hassle for me

Not much you can select for with desktop parts. Maybe get dual Ethernet now so you don’t want to add a card later. And more disks, more power so one bigger drive is better than two smaller…

Might be better to suspend it, and wake on lan when you want to play.

But I like the Talk folder hanging out with me. He’s a friend that will always be there for me.

Have you been down the MTU rabbit hole? The wg-quick helper scripts are supposed to find the best MTU but I’ve found cases (tethering) where I had to adjust. Too big an MTU and you could silently drop packets.

Are you virtualizing opnsense? I am, and the wg plugins and config felt foreign to me it was easier to virtualize a wg endpoint.

For the love of all that is holy

At least change the interface IP. I multiboot my laptop and when I copied a wg.conf being lazy, the server basically ignored the newer client. I had to boot back into the OG OS and add a peer via ssh. I’m still learning wg but don’t count on clones interfaces working.

My printer/scanner doesn’t scan to FTP. Anyone out there shopping for a Brother Laser, step up to the MFC series that doesn’t require USB to scan, and also hardwired Ethernet. It’s only another $50 and will also include a document feeder.

What’s your upload? Cause I want that 200 with my S33 but I didn’t think they allowed it.

Don’t they require their gateway device for the faster tiers?

If you want non-crippled mid-split, you have to use their gear for now. That’s the main reason I haven’t switched. I want that 200 upload, but I refuse to put their box in my house.

I just think they’re neat!

The wireguard tunnel is what I’m most interested in. Having that, and then my pihole, be handed out via DHCP is worth $50. More than that is a harder sell.
