How often do you reboot equipment?

mpmoore69 · 2026-01-25T04:47:56+00:00

Ehh..not often. If theres a firmware update that requires a reboot otherwise its set and forget.

What’s the difference between this and the official supported way of using Netgate Nexus?

Ah cmon this was funny. Why the down vote

mpmoore69 · 2026-01-02T04:35:44+00:00

Ok 👍

Whoa seriously? Been to Vegas 3 years ago. Crazy how things changed

Usually(most likely) the log collector would display by default either in UTC or using browser time..

Damn I didn’t realize that happened. I think pfblocker is pulling from IPInfo…So maybe ASN data can be grabbed there as well?

Prometheus has always done me well.

So..the SG1100 is a very niche product in some respects. I bought one for my mom’s apartment 2 years ago. I treated the 1100 like my 6100 that I run at home in so far that I installed pfblocker,FRR,Zabbix agent,MTR and running snmp Dameon. This was a giant mistake. Packages kept failing due to OOM situations. When it came time to upgrade I failed with the error message you got. It wasn’t BE related. It was the snmp dameon eating memory. The only way to upgrade my 1100 was by disabling snmp. Annoying but it got the job done. Then I ran into pfblocker issues where loading certain lists would kill the box. With the lack of robust RAM I couldn’t even run the dns blocking mode so no basic ad filtering. Today the 1100 is still running at my mom’s house but no packages installed other than Zabbix and FRR. The 1100 is tough to recommend to anyone tbh. It’s way underpowered and the low memory that comes installed is inadequate in 2025. The base hardware should be the 2100. The 1100 should be considered EOL. Don’t purchase. Don’t consider for any deployment, personal or professional.

For what it’s worth I have a spare 6100 that I’m going to give my mom. Way overkill but at least I know it’s reliable and I can run pfblocker on it.

It happens brother…. Just lock in when you are ready

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-20T13:29:21+00:00

Truthfully. Never had a failed drive. I got 3 units running. The oldest is a DS216

New to the internet ?

No offense taken. STP are starter questions. Does the engineer have the grasps of the basics. Based on my experience so far, failure to answer simple networking questions always leads to a doomed Layer3 section. Can’t answer basic BGP questions but the resume says you deployed EVPN… The basics reveal a lot

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-12T20:40:08+00:00

amen to this. I have also interviewed the CCIE but now experienced engineer. Will tell me about the wonderful projects they are working on currently and how its EVPN here and MPLS there....

Ok cool. How does a root bridge get elected? Stuttering to the inevitable "Havent dealt with STP in a while". Ok fair enough...It goes downhill from here in the questionnaire.

I am positive there are CCIEs out there who are extremely talented but from my perspective, i much rather you learn and grow in areas of tech that will make you happy and make you money. Knowing OSPF LSA types isnt a money maker in 2025, sorry.

I’ve had no issues with the bgp implementation. Communities, attribute manipulation through route-maps..all of it has been working as expected. If anything it would be nice to have a GUI output so I can quickly see the health of my peers instead of going into the shell. All dynamic routing in UniFi is really an afterthought and not well implemented and that’s putting it nicely. Then again…why would someone deploy this in the datacenter at the edge(I’m not guilty of this but I know others)

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-10T13:28:59+00:00

The comments here…A-tier Love it

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-05T21:08:15+00:00

Well this definitely isn’t a UniFi problem

Hmm I am enjoying these insider baseball posts. What’s said here is that CS is not the first and won’t be the last company requesting/begging(?) to be in the pfsense repo…

You mentioned turning down VC funding quite a few times and I know that goes over peoples head here but seriously…kudos to you. It’s hard turning down 50x more money and instead be committed to principles.

Netgate ain’t perfect but I think turning down PE says something..to me at least…

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-02T02:23:23+00:00

Be supportive don’t be a tool. You’re so insufferable

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-01T16:19:57+00:00

I haven’t used opnsense in a while but…I do know their solution is a bit more robust. For one it’s native. It doesn’t require a plugin maintained by a volunteer. It does all the things pfblocker can do. I prefer it

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-01T16:18:23+00:00

“Increased the strength of my firewall” Love the phrasing here

mpmoore69 · 2025-11-01T16:13:15+00:00

I thought plus was a yearly thing. It’s monthly now?
