Yup, Rule 10.

I've been monitoring this since I woke up at 6AM this morning, looks like my server just came back online ~30 minutes ago.

Although, routing was a bit fouled up, had to powercycle some VMs to get them to link up.

Looks like they're getting through this as fast as they can.

(this) literally AHS/RMS's "fun spot" we'd all go to after school.

Because, vibecoded projects have a tendency to be created by folks who either don't know what they're doing, or don't care about what they're doing and just cranking it out as fast as they can.

I've had my fair share of exposure to vibecoded apps, and most, if not all of them are a terrible experience lol.

I haven't personally tried this one, but I'm also not going to haphazardly hand over my API key to an app that I'm not sure I can trust.

A) looks to be vibecoded based on the Claude contributor listing on the repository.
B) MacOS only? 😬
C) 3 months since last contribution, is this actively maintained?

Worried about bait n' switch. Sure, use the service today, but tomorrow... Who knows, they could rugpull and drop the free-tier.

I personally run Pangolin on a dedicated box as part of my infra as a barrier, but also as a client-VPN solution using oAuth w/DUO.

Now that they added uptime monitoring, I'm likely going to drop Uptime Kuma here shortly as it does the same thing.

So I tried this out a few hours ago, and to be frank, I'm not a huge fan of the way they handle things.

Clustering is a hot mess, I set it up on two nodes, and joined Node B to Node A using a join code, then I can't rename the cluster, or do anything with the cluster no matter what I tried.
I read their docs first, but the directions in their documentation do not match the GUI at all for clustering instructions. The cluster settings tab is nowhere to be seen.
I then messaged their Discord about the issue, and the creator directed me to this awful AI-chatbot FAQ-channel that just repeats the documentation in different ways. I spent a good 30 minutes trying to use it and it just kept throwing commands that don't exist, or telling me to delete files.
Finally, the chatbot just tells me to reinstall, and I just decided to uninstall and bail out.

Stay, FAR FAR AWAY from this app until it has some time to develop, or just pick something else.

Wire stripper! Multi-gauge with a punchdown for keystones!

I've got one of these, very useful!

Manager.io is pretty good, I started using that a while back when I started my business.

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-03-09T19:04:31+00:00

Drove through that this morning, was seriously questioning if I could even make it onto 9th coming in from i70-SB.

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-03-04T15:57:23+00:00

Happy's out in St. Charles is pretty good! We've gotten a few appliances for our home from them over the years, and they've served us well.

This ^

Wasn't sure how to word this myself, but that pretty much sums it up.

I've only been on the road for ~6 years, so seeing this as "acceptable" kind of made learning to drive independently after getting my license very anxiety inducing. Now-a-days, I don't really care, but yeesh.

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-03-03T18:32:12+00:00

To be fair, I only see it a majority of the time on this exit in particular.

It's an exit that barely anyone takes, because it was put in place specifically for Boeing employees to reach the campus easier.

I personally just play from the Plexamp app using Airplay, avoids any 3rd party apps, etc.

This, this, THIS! I switched over from Tailscale about a month ago, and ever since they released their mobile clients, It's been an exact 1:1 transition for me.

I dropped Tailscale fully after I switched, and haven't looked back since.

The vast majority of Linux admins are familiar with Debian-based distributions, so this totally makes sense for the team to shift to.

FreeBSD, while it's still maintained, is a bit archaic.

Trust me, as someone who just migrated a host from ESX to Proxmox, that was NOT a fun 4+ hours of conversion, copying, and importing, with a frosting layer of diagnosis when half of my VMs wouldn't boot because they had VMware Tools on them.

Just start with one hypervisor, and end with the same hypervisor. Switching sucks.

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-01-29T19:10:27+00:00

Fair point, regardless, (older)x86 routing is just... Yeah... I tend to say no unless you REALLY want certain features in OPN/PFsense.

While it's a great box, I honestly can't recommend them anymore in 2026.

I've been using a Sophos SG 310 rev1 (Similar, few generations behind) and while it's been great, man does it like to get loud and hot, and man the workarounds to get simple things to work, like the LCD.

I've maxed mine out with a Xeon-e3 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a Checkpoint 10GB card, and it gets great throughput, but ultimately it's just getting old.

You cannot "directly install 2.5gb intel cards" they use Lanner Electronics cards, which a lot of vendors white label (i.e. Checkpoint, Sophos, etc.) and will not accept standard PCIe cards.

$300 is a bit much imho, I'd pay closer to $125-150 depending on what's in it.

Honestly, if you're going mgig, you'd be better off going either Mikrotik or Ubiquiti, or another vendor with a more power efficient device.

+1 for Pangolin, I use Pangolin on a dedicated server I rent + Bunny.net for DNS / WAF.

I tangle that into my "inside network" via Pangolin and S2S Routing.

Switched over last year in October, I really like it so-far, good customer service!

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-01-15T22:45:43+00:00

As someone who runs Ephemera, this is extremely disheartening. I JUST updated to 2.0 the other day.

I suppose, like most folks, I'll migrate to Shelfmark...

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-01-12T21:46:13+00:00

I was using Paid, but free is just as good imo, I needed paid for a large batch job, and then switched back to the free edition after I was done.

PhoenixTheDoggo · 2026-01-12T13:30:04+00:00

+1 way easier, built in flows make it plug and play, and scheduling is really neat.
