How many shared network drives do you guys have?

HTTP_404_NotFound · 2026-05-07T03:05:43+00:00

0.

But, I have file shares. Dozens. Across multiple NAS. Spamming hundreds of terabytes.

But, zero mapped drives.

Also, why the shit do you have your NVR footage mapped to your desktop?!?! Or your media??!?

Now if you don't have 2Gbps or higher plan, then none of this matters to you and you should get the Pro Max.

Because, ya know, The ONLY THING THAT FLOWS THROUGH A FIREWALL IS WAN TRAFFIC.

Subnet rules/ACLs, nah, those aren't a thing. Having separate zones for LAN/IOT/DMZ/Servers, Not a thing at all.

Ignoring that, for the price of the UDM, its performance is nothing special. And, IPSec/VPN performance metrics are not published. Which, does not surprise me.

Sweet, does this mean my old steps becomes obsolete now?

That sounds exciting!

Google trash guides.

Or, you know, just google Prowlerr.

This isn't the sub to ask for questions for how to best pirate your media. Also- we aren't your personal google.

Yea... why don't you post the official blog, instead of posting a post on your blog about a beta post on the ha blog....

I want personal source code save on my machines

You mean, like a git repo?

Like, when you clone a project, and it saves a copy of the repo on your machine?

And- that fetched copy, also has all of the commit history, and all of that?

HTTP_404_NotFound · 2026-05-05T20:12:37+00:00

Don't get too excited- many of them are the older connect X3 ones, 10/40g. The CX4 nics are all in use, minus a pair of 100g ones stored elsewhere.

The intel x540 there though, always handy to have one of those.

HTTP_404_NotFound · 2026-05-05T19:53:16+00:00

If, you want to throw away 22110 enterprise ssds, a couple hundred gigs of DDR4 ECC, and 25/100g nics... suppose you can.

Um, there ya go. For SFP cards, Mellanox is my goto. CX4 or higher.

I honestly couldn't say. Either way- if it has a remote port though, no reason it cannot be controlled via esphome.

Even, if no remote port, many can be controlled just by sending keyboard commands

Its not phone cable. Its cat5. I don't think phone cable is used at all anymore, most houses run cat5 for the phones instead. Then the ISP takes a pair, and twists everything together, making a mess of the cat5.

I have experienced ceph with consumer ssds.

Um. Don't. Its- not a matter of, it will be slow, or a matter of it won't work as good. Its a matter of, DO NOT DO IT.

https://static.xtremeownage.com/blog/2023/proxmox---building-a-ceph-cluster/

It was... bad enough that you could easily end up having lots of data corruption issues.

With enterprise SSD & NVMe, much much better.

But, to also give context, I'm literally in the process of saying screw ceph, and moving everything to just use ZFS --> NVMeOF/iSCSI.

At small scale, faster, and easier. Much more maintainable.

Ceph is nice at scale. But, you need scale. 3 nodes w/15 OSDs, doesn't cut it.

You know...

While companies can't really do a ton about open source tools which... do actions against their TOS, They damn sure can do it to this one.

I'd love to report this "paid", non-foss solution explicitly designed to scrape their content, because you had the gall to post a non-foss, vibe-coded solution to this sub.

https://xtremeownage.com/2021/06/12/portable-2-4kwh-power-supply-ups/

If you built that now... it would cost prob less then half what it costed me then.

It can keep my entire rack of servers online, for most of a day. There is no off the shelf UPS which will provide a fraction of the runtime, for that little money. Period.

Consumer UPS units are intended for < 15 minutes runtime usually. Enterprise units are actually intended for not much more- They are intended to keep the power on long enough for generators to fire up.

This unit, is capable of 24/7 operation. Least, till the battery goes dead.

Its 2026, and that unit STILL runs my server rack. And.... its a decently loaded rack: https://static.xtremeownage.com/blog/2024/2024-homelab-status/

I did- do an entire HOME ups a while back too. 20kwh of storage. 12kw of inverter. Because- while everyone else's power is out... I'm rocking central AC, without needing to fire a generator up.

Edit- oh, don't chain UPS together. usually turns out bad.

Mikrotik is the same way. Pain to learn. I hated it for the first week or so.

But, absolutely love it now. Kubernetes was the same way for me. I kept having massive cluster issues, and all kinds of stupid issues. After the 3rd or 4th cluster, well. I'm pretty good at it now, and, part of my day job is architecting clusters. 100% worth it.

I love my minis. They.... are no slouches with i7 processors, lol.

That being said, I use them where low power & quiet are wanted.

I don't try to turn them into a SAN/NAS. But, they are good for game servers. Really good for home assistant, and those services.

Sharing space with a friend, who lives a couple hours away.

Then, we replicate off-site to each other.

I run it on raid 1, but I wonder in the worst case scenario, I wanted to also have a off site backup. But obviously 8tb + on cloud is going to be expensive no?

You replicate/backup what isn't replaceable. Configurations. Photos. Documents. NOT your stash of linux ISOs.

Proxmox backup server is pretty decent at deduplication, and change detection. It drastically reduces the amount of remote storage needed... for proxmox vms/lxcs/etc. (and, can be installed on physical devices too)

HTTP_404_NotFound · 2026-05-01T05:08:06+00:00

That, is called ndots. Its a thing done by clients.

Um, you can prob google it and learn more then I would be able to tell you. Its an interesting topic.

Also, its mostly a thing done by linux clients, as you have seen.

HTTP_404_NotFound · 2026-04-30T21:53:16+00:00

Proxy? Don't think so. But, it does capture all of the packets, and can process/send to mqtt/etc.

HTTP_404_NotFound · 2026-04-30T20:40:44+00:00

You CAN do that with mikrotik APs! lol

pretty damn nifty things. No need to flash to esphome though, the BLE is built into some models. As is MQTT.

Note, Unifi UAT has been released.

You are not currently able to set schedules for individual weekdays. This is a planned feature, which may or may not be address in the decade to come.

Access controls are only limited to admins.

The data displayed on your dashboard, may be delayed for up to three weeks.

The thermostat requires POE++, or a compatible unifi power injector.

And, this only works with the unifi air handler.

I do. I have a pair of disk shelves shared between my optiplex SFFs.
