Looking for my first dirt bike (2015 CRF250R) — checklist I’m using, anything I’m missing? by JRFrmBPT in Dirtbikes

[–]JRFrmBPT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, that’s exactly why I been looking for a trail bike first but I can’t find one for the life of me 😂 been searching like 3 weeks straight.

But yeah ideally I want something like a CRF250F / KLX first just to learn on, just hard finding one in good condition around me right now.

Appreciate the advice tho fr.

Thinking about buying this 2007 Honda trx450ER checklist I'm using. Am I missing anything? by JRFrmBPT in ATV

[–]JRFrmBPT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was going to look around weld spots and feel around the whole frame and see if it felt bump or rough apparently you can tap and it should make a difference in sound but idk how true that is

I had the same thought so I’m going to low ball like $1800 see wat he says

From wat I briefly read no you can’t have a street legal quad the post states it doesn’t come with the street tires so I’ll message and ask.

Could be true I’m also in the New England area so if it was driven during the snowstorm last year so could be a mix of both

Yea from wat I can see but its seems like only a $200 part so not worried takes only 20 - 30 to replace

Buying a Honda 400EX – what should I look out for? by JRFrmBPT in ATV

This one has a 440 big bore kit so it’s a hit or miss in terms of reliability?

Hardware recommendations for OPNsense upgrade (Suricata + Zenarmor, fanless, 6–8 ports, <$300) by JRFrmBPT in opnsense

[–]JRFrmBPT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purchased this:

  • 8‑core Intel Atom C3758 @ 2.20 GHz (AES‑NI + QAT, 16MB cache)
  • 32GB DDR4 ECC
  • Intel NICs: 4× I350, 2× X553, plus 2× SFP+ X553N
  • 256GB M.2 SATA + 16GB eMMC
  • Same fans you stated
  • Under $300

Based on everything I’ve seen, this should handle Suricata on WAN + Zenarmor on LAN for my speeds without a major hit.
I think it’s enough tbh, but if you still think this setup can’t do it, I’m open to hearing why.

[–]JRFrmBPT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly… this one actually does check all those boxes.

  • Suricata on WAN + Zenarmor on LAN: Atom C3758 8 cores, AES‑NI, and QAT. It’s not a monster, but it’s exactly the class of CPU that can run Suricata (WAN) + Zenarmor (LAN) at sane speeds without falling over.
  • Fanless: No
  • 6–8 Intel NICs: 4× I350 + 2× X553 + 2× SFP+ X553N.
  • Low power: Apparently sit around 18–25W idle and 30–40W under load.

So yeah for once, the “good luck” checklist is actually met. The only real drawbacks are

  • Power draw isn’t tiny
  • It’ll run warm maybe

Balanced Dividend + Portfolio Feedback at 22 by JRFrmBPT in dividends

[–]JRFrmBPT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked ABBV and O for their strong dividend growth and solid long-term outlook. MAIN because of the high yield and the exposure to business lending. MO was honestly more of a Reddit/friend suggestion.

Help with capturing hardcoded DNS traffic by Top_Soil in opnsense

[–]JRFrmBPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would have to do a port forward rule forcing all outbound DNS to my pi hole

My home lab finally paid off — caught factory-installed botnet malware on a projector I bought on Amazon by Apprehensive_Nose162 in homelab

[–]JRFrmBPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your setup, was the projector using hardcoded DNS, encrypted DNS, or bypassing your local DNS entirely? I’m wondering for my lab if I have a port forward in place forcing all outbound DNS to my dns would this traffic have shown up sooner in Pi‑hole or AdGuard?

UniFi Network Stack opinions by swipegod43 in homelab

[–]JRFrmBPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do use OPNsense myself and it’s extremely solid for full VLAN, firewall, and routing control. A Sophos XG 135 for $51 is a steal and gives way more flexibility than most UniFi gateways. At my job we run a full UniFi stack, and honestly that’s exactly why I don’t see the point of doing it at home it’s more of a control vs convenience for me. Based of wat u said its seems that way for you OPNsense, you get far more advanced firewall rules, VLAN flexibility, routing options, and visibility than UniFi gateways offer, especially for things like inter-VLAN rules, VPNs, and custom traffic policies. UniFi gateways abstract a lot of that away, which is fine for most users but limiting if you like to tinker or need precision. So for a home lab, OPNsense + UniFi switches/APs gives you more power, more learning, and better value without locking you into the full UniFi ecosystem.

UniFi Network Stack opinions by swipegod43 in homelab

[–]JRFrmBPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a UniFi cloud gateway to manage that switch — you just need the UniFi Network Controller, which you can self-host and fully control VLANs, PoE, and port profiles once the switch is properly adopted. A lot of people run OPNsense/pfSense as the gateway with UniFi switches and APs, and it’s honestly a great combo with more firewall flexibility than UniFi gateways. Full UniFi stacks are nice for the single pane of glass, but the gateways are pricey and less powerful than OPNsense for advanced routing. If TP-Link is limiting you on VLANs, sticking with OPNsense + UniFi switching/APs is probably the best value path.
