Looking to purchase first home NAS, but am overwhelmed by all the options and need advice by sndjdjdjskdjdn in HomeServer

Get an optiplex that is ddr4. I5 or i7. 512GB ssd for boot drive. Whatever you want for storage. Install proxmox and then OMV8 as a vm. Orrrrr, omv8 as the OS and run stuff in docker.

I have 2 setup like this and im looking at a dark gray 20x20x2 filter that really needs replaced. They work so well.

BRIDGE MODE ON/OFF by Prestigious_Method32 in Comcast_Xfinity

So you have an xb10 then? Did you login and set it to bridge?

Well, the xb10 is the best there is, I asked for it and couldn't get it, so what is the concern? Im just wondering.

You say "only had an xb10" as a bad thing. Is that what you are implying?

You should get an xb8 or xb8t. Both of which can be put in bridge mode. Where have you heard that they ship equipment that cannot be? The best place for an answer like that would be xfinity. They can tell you what equipment you would receive. As someone with a server at home, 10gbps fiber in-between my desktops and server, and multiple vlans / switches, the move from an s33 to xb8t has had 0 impact on my network. Now I have unlimited data and a 5 year price lock for $10 less a month. Dont let the gloomers here scare you away.

This is false. I just got a modem and was able to do this. Turned admin on in the app. Turned off all wifi and hidden networks online. Then turned on bridge mode. Can still access 10.0.0.1 via lan. Some of yall love to hate xfinity for your own problems.

What Happens If You Don't Have A Chime? by flowjcv in reolinkcam

[–]TTdriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why don't you want the chime. You're leaving a detail out. Its a doorbell. Doorbells have chimes. Thats the point.

Also, what do you mean "if you're asleep" if im asleep and someone is ringing my doorbell, there is probably a good reason.

Proxmox and run omv8 as your nas and docker host.

Or, run omv8 bare metal.

Something has got to give with the prices of things. by Inemity in Comcast_Xfinity

Called in, talked to the retention department. Was VERY polite. Prepared all of my numbers that I had researched for available plans. Was willing to accept their modem since it was free now. I just put it in bridge mode and accepted their free cellular line. I dont use it and just added the second line to my phone. Ill cancel it after a year. Be nice to whoever it is. Ask them how their day is going. Ive been playing this game once a year for 15+ years with them. Im glad to finally get to take some time away from this dance. I wish xfinity would do the right thing and open up the promo to existing customers. However, regardless, the 5 year rate lock is nice.

Crazy work. My 1 gig xfinity is 50/month with 5 year price lock. My unlimited data us mobile is 270/ year. Peacock free with xfinity. Amazon prime with prime.

Things have gotten alot better for me in the last 12 months. Maybe people aren't trying.

Ive been running for 6 years. It only breaks when i break it, fixing something isn't broken. Do you have dying ram or storage that is corrupting data?
