    Before digging down into s/w

    I have a quite dated workstation (ASUS P10S-WS with an Intel i7 7700K and 32Gb RAM) which runs W11 flawless. I use Firefox and it is superfast. Everything else too so i can only agree something is wrong with either his hardware or the W11 installation..

    Trying to determine which networking components to purchase for my uses

    Not wanting to hijack the thread but to be honest, before this thread, never heard of Dongknows 🤨 I stick to what i know is reliable as mentioned in the 2 posts above. I use SNB, STH, LS for networking, hardware and stuff and the forums connected to TrueNAS and pfSense because i use both. Not...

    Before digging down into s/w

    Just a small word of advice: don't use Opera as a browser. My Godson recently contacted me as the PC i bought for him was hacked and his game accounts blocked by some Russian a-hole. Eventually, i figured out that Opera was among the responsible of all the crap he had on there with tons of...

    16 to 24 port L2 Managed Switch Recommendation

    I know, and i will at the point in time that i upgrade my entire LAN to 10Gbps and that will be when the fiber in our street which they just put in will become active. I guess in a year or so...

    Router recommendation need.

    Honestly, i would also do what @Tech9 is proposing. First see how far you get with the current hardware. As it is easy to transfer your config from your current box to another box with newer hardware. I did the same about 6 months ago when i went from a Xeon E3-1270v2 to a Xeon D-1521. Didn't...

    I have a Cisco SG350-28P. Bought it 2nd hand and extremely happy with it.

    Pro-sumer WiFi 6/6E routers with support for VLAN, VPN, SSH, and some custom firmware

    I am a long time pfSense user and have also tried OPNSense to see if it could be an alternative in case pfSense would start charging for personal use. Eventually, i opted to stay with pfSense as it does exactly what i want, the way i want it. I can relate to the fact that it could be all a bit...

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

    I always keep UPnP switched off in my router/firewall and do manual forward, if required. I don't want devices opening up ports on my router without me knowing...

    Pro-sumer WiFi 6/6E routers with support for VLAN, VPN, SSH, and some custom firmware

    I have owned a couple of Mikrotik routers about 4 years ago. RouterOS was good, very complete but at the time, somewhat complicated. Maybe it has improved in the mean time. The AP seems interesting though. Do i really understand it correctly that this is an Access Point with a built-in switch...

    Breaking Dad's Big Bad Gaming Discussion - For all things to do with PC Gaming !

    I recently reinstalled Unreal Tournament, GOTY Edition on my W11 desktop on request of my brother. I used to be a big player, in clans and stuff and eventually moved over to Tactical Ops, again playing in clans and ladders, many many moons ago now. I was amazed how fast i got the hang of it...

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    Time for a new DIY NAS

    Not really. I am not interested to virtualize. The combination of TrueNAS as ZFS storage and Nextcloud running as an application in a jail in combination with pfSense to handle a reverse proxy with Letsencrypt certs. has always worked perfectly fine for me and is extremely solid as a setup and i...

    Time for a new DIY NAS

    a key piece of information is that in the current setup, Nextcloud is installed in an iocage jail in TrueNAS Core. Also in TrueNAS Scale you have this functionality to install Nextcloud within the environment which is what i want as it combines the data redundancy functionality of the storage...

    Time for a new DIY NAS

    Due to the limited lifetime left on TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD) as IXSystems is pushing the move to TrueNAS Scale (Linux), eventually i will be forced to move over in order to keep my Nextcloud running since i use this for business purposes which is a pity as i got quite fond of FreeBSD. I need a...
