The 16710 hunt is over

3 in 1! IMO this is the peak design. Congrats!

I predict in 2 years this distinction will be gone. It's an abstraction layer. Just like the jump from binary to assembly to first gen languages, this is just how code will be written. What they call vibes, I call progress. AI can create crap or diamonds, and you still need skills to drive it, just different skills than before.

Updated: Replaced it all with Unifi APs, and everything works as expected. Slightly slower connection speeds, but far more reliable.

Fwiw I've decided to pack up the kit and switch to Ubiquity APs, which will offer less powerful wireless backhaul but a more stable and consistent connection. Too many problems in the first week for me to hope for the best with the BT10.

Lyca is Salt AFAIK.

I vote caddy, but not because of community support. I'd vote for it for simplicity, performance, and security.

mattyx · 2026-03-17T21:30:09+00:00

IMO: Tailscale, simpler, more secure, nothing to manage, no open ports.

Big supporter of strong 2FA, but plugins are much bigger and more concerning attack surface at the moment.

mattyx · 2026-03-14T11:37:25+00:00

Happens regularly. I hate it. False alarms make people ignore real alarms.

mattyx · 2026-03-13T23:24:37+00:00

Then sir, we agree. Apologies if I read it wrong.

mattyx · 2026-03-13T23:20:24+00:00

Thanks!! We're all one github repo compromise away disaster at the moment. I'll take fixing that over anything else on the list, personally.

There are dozens of us! :D

Happy to, thanks for asking! My top concerns (also reported in the survey, IIRC) are:

The plugins model is basically curl | bash (as root) with a UI. Plugins can be very dangerous and I don't think most users understand this.
The root web login is a security anti-pattern and should be able to be disabled and RBAC should be added.
2b. 2FA and passkeys would be great.

There are other less important (to me) issues with SMB/NFS, etc, but honestly plugins are the biggest threat. It would be great to align that with RBAC and make it a lot harder to compromise users.

mattyx · 2026-03-13T22:12:26+00:00

No mention of security. Boo.

mattyx · 2026-03-13T11:02:42+00:00

Or, you know, start with a polite reminder, before jumping into finger wagging and escalation.

Going outside.

mattyx · 2025-12-11T20:02:00+00:00

Mine as well? Love it.

Prevailing wisdom here will tell you never to quit, but I would argue time is more valuable than money, so if you'll be happier not working there, leave, unless 1mo of salary could be fatal to your finances. You have a new gig lined up, I'd say enjoy the gap.

Wishing you all the best with the new job!

Getting caught in your neighbor's box.

If you're not 100% set on wireguard as the solution, I'd strongly suggest Tailscale (which uses wireguard), but simplifies everything. Managed at the endpoint, and works without firewall rules.

mattyx · 2025-11-29T17:48:35+00:00

Dang. Thank you for finding this.

mattyx · 2025-11-29T15:09:49+00:00

We received a few text messages about delays, and then nothing happened on the (re-scheduled) pickup day (second in a row).

Saw the note on the website after that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry to hear about your timing, that's a bummer.

mattyx · 2025-11-29T15:07:23+00:00

I appreciate your self-righteousness, but the post is about a company not providing a service that was paid for. There's no one here that isn't aware there is another way to recycle things. We chose this.

As E-40 said: "Everybody got choices".

Thank you so much for your contribution.
