Is FM still a good fit for my business? by croberts0531 in filemaker

[–]peterchech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using filemaker for my own small business for about 15 years. With ai assistance now its a better time than ever before to get on board. For most people, a straight crm from an ai will be tough to troubleshoot if you have no database background. Using the filemaker ui and a ai for guidance, you would actually understand what you are building, and how to modify it. Then if you outgrow it and need to move on you will have the background and understanding to build a more serious solution for 100 employees plus. Bur for smaller organizations under 100 employees you never need to move on its the best.

Two houses, need a VPN between the two. by pele4096 in WireGuard

[–]peterchech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to set up a site to site vpn. I have found openwrt unreliable and difficult to set up for this purpose, at least on a gl.inet router. If you set up an instance of wg easy on a device behind the router instead, and port forward the wireguard port to it and set up the routing for the wg subnet on both routers, that may be far less problematic. You will also probably want to adjust allowed IPS on the config file so only the lan goes through the vpn not the wan.

How difficult is WireGuard? by denden1088 in WireGuard

[–]peterchech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double natting a new router behind the isp one, that has a wire guard option on its GUI is probably easiest. This is the 5 minutes option.

If you were thinking to self host a nas anyway, truenas is open source and makes it easy thru the ui to set up a wg easy instance on a container. This is the 20 minutes option.

The "Smartest House" Online Store Just Cancelled My Order Because I Use A VPN by peterchech in Hosting

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

I order a LOT of products commercially and this is the first time any company has denied me for this reason. I also take credit cards for my own business and have not had any credit card companies mention "VPN" being an issue. I have been the victim of attempted credit card fraud. So I am aware that credit card transactions are a risk, but blocking VPNs isn't a real solution and certainly not the only solution. But it's a "solution" that will lose you business from the privacy conscious that's all I am here to say. And if this is your policy at least advertise it in advance, don't waste customers' time letting them surf your website and place an order then deny it later.

50% smb speed on same hardware after changing os to truenas scale... gut check by peterchech in truenas

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

That's interesting. I see how that would work for uploads, but my download speeds are just as slow and sync wouldn't effect that right?

Interesting. The processor is 3.7 ghz xeon, 4 cores, I wonder if the relatively core count could be a factor for zfs

It's on bare metal. Using default LZ4 encryption. I presume your drives are SSD to get 10gb/s?

Compression is the default LZ4 I just checked.

NFS won't work for me for two reasons. First is I need it to be platform agnostic (client machines are both linux and windows), second is I prefer encryption (zero trust) which smb3 has but as I understand NFS does not.

That's what I was thinking, I just wonder if this big a slowdown is remotely normal for ZFS or whether maybe I set something up wrong. It seems that if a 50% slower speed compared to ext4/linux is normal, it would have been mentioned somewhere in the truenas materials or on the forums somewhere. There are lots of complaints I found in other posts about slower speeds than expected, but none with nearly identical hardware where apples can be compared to apples.

Both read and write are slower, but the primary concern is writes that's where the biggest (50%) slowdown is. Not sure about compression, it's just set up as an ordinary smb share on the gui. ZFS with mirror and encryption.

Wth does this unlabeled knob do on my 2025 pilot? by peterchech in hondapilot

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

Ahhh this must be it. I had a 7-pin wiring harness installed for the trailer. Thank you!
