    and so was this thread 😂

    Typical home NAS setup for family pictures/videos

    Yeah. Thanks but no thanks. Call me old fashioned but i want a local copy of my critical data so i have full access at any time even if the internet is down. A backup in the cloud on the other hand is a good thing.

    Typical home NAS setup for family pictures/videos

    Honestly, i think that is rubbish. I have been running refurbished enterprise 2Tb SAS drives for years now. I bought a lot of 16 in total and over all those years, i have had one that failed gradually over all these years. If i can recall correctly i paid 15 USD a piece. Running TrueNAS with...

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    I just figured out that my Xeon E3-1220v2 doesn't support HT so i don't have to bother about that one.

    Truenas or Unraid

    Because TrueNAS whilst being free is so much better as a NAS and runs on either FreeBSD (Core) or Linux (Scale) which are both rock solid and are much more reliable than Windows and also uses ZFS as a file system with better error handling and correction features than most other file systems.

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    What made you look at that? I am pretty sure HT is also turned on but i never bothered looking into the effects of it, if any. I have an Intel X550-T2 in my pfSense box. That works perfectly fine.

    Seeking advice on RAID setup

    We can whine about Synology or Qnap being better solutions but that is not going to provide an answer to the OP's question. I used to have Netgear ReadyNAS gear in the past and honestly, it was perfectly fine for storage purposes and even for running Plex. Understanding that the hardware is...

    Truenas or Unraid

    I vote TrueNAS. I have TN Core up and running for years now and very happy with it. Two 256GB SSD's as mirrored boot pool with 4 2Tb SAS HDD's in zraid1. It is FreeBSD (not that big a jump from Linux) and ZFS. I run Plex and Nextcloud in a jail and it is rock solid. In the world of ZFS, spinning...

    Cisco WAP571 all choose the same channels

    I have 4 WAP571 in a single point setup cluster and indeed, they have all assigned the same channels (also 6 and 36) but i can't say i am suffering from interference. Everything is working really well. From your post, it is not clear to me if you have an actual issue or your are merely concerned...

    [Ars] Kremlin-backed hackers are infecting Ubiquity EdgeRouters

    With the ever expanding power of the internet, consumer-grade hardware has been quite a concern to me for some time already. The companies in this arena heavily rely on sales volume rather than price point so the speed to market is increasing fast which leaves only limited time for firmware...

    File system or OS with self-healing and spin-down

    I am running TrueNAS Core which i like very much. It is FreeBSD based and does everything it needs to do in terms of file storage, sharing and much more. I am running two jails, one with Plex and one with Nextcloud. You might want to consider TrueNAS Scale though which is the latest and greatest...

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    I recently was forced to update to 23.9.01 because an update of HAProxy didn't play out well since it was looking for some files that my installation didn't seem to have. Updating fixed it instantly. I did the switchover from plus to CE on my backup router which worked fine. I was planning on...

    Is now the time to go to 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps home networking?

    Honestly, i wouldn't know why i would need that right now. As long i cannot get 10 Gbps on the WAN side, i don't see the point. My ISPs highest offering is 1000/50 which is more that i need to for my purposes, even if i have Nextcloud running that i use for my business. Even with 3/4 devices...

    Using 2 routers (no bridge), DDNS configuration not working

    I also have a setup where the ISP HGW (Home Gateway) has an integrated router with DHCP where one of the LAN ports is connected to the WAN side of my pfSense box which manages the entire LAN-side of my home network. To enable access from the outside to my Nextcloud, i had to configure port...

    Pfsense wins awards

    I find it hilarious that you just pop in out of nowhere to provide an opinion on something that you clearly do not know a lot about or have little experience on, other than that you dislike the product for whatever reason where it is doubtful that these reasons are based on knowledge as it is...
