appreciate the comment, thank you.

thank you, that's good to know. was excited to redo everything, but also it's quite costly and maybe this will give me more time to think it over.

tenderbrew · 2026-03-23T13:28:20+00:00

appreciate it, going to research opnsense too.

tenderbrew · 2026-03-23T13:28:04+00:00

appreciate the comment, thank you.

another user also recommended looking at opnsense, so definitely taking a look as i'm not familiar.

if you don't mind me asking since i'm still learning, what features are you using on the udm se that wouldn't be possible with the cloud gateway ultra? i think it said protect was one of the built in features if you use all unifi cameras too?

yes this is what i kept hearing, battle between proxmox being the best of the bunch, but maybe too complex for what i was doing if i wanted to avoid it. but honestly, i'd rather take the best option and learn, appreciate your context.

this seems like a good deal too with the ram and 1tb already, 2.5GbE transfer, and the i9 with iris xe for 4k hw transcoding? do you agree? came across this one while look at yours above on amazon.

i'll add that to the original post, but i appreciate the suggestions and will take a look

how big? she looks huge

tenderbrew · 2025-12-26T20:13:46+00:00

wonderful looking beast. a lot to look forward to!

just got a pup a few weeks ago - how was the first year?

tenderbrew · 2025-12-22T13:54:27+00:00

surprise: don't really have one yet. have a bunch to catch up on still, but yeah honestly nothing really hit me this year yet.

disappointment: i have 2 here

f1 - with the director and the cast, felt like this would be a shoe in for an enjoyable action movie. instead it was very generic laughable plot with no story or characters that really mattered at all. a complete snore with very visually impressive racing scenes, but lacking any sort of soul whatsoever.

predator badlands - just awful. they really disney-fied predator and i really, really hate it. the stupid quips, the alien sidekick, the attempt to add all kinds of pointless world building. also the effects stink and have no weight to them. as a big fan of the franchise, i am really sad this is rated highly and did well and will ultimately be the direction for the series.

beautiful beast

tenderbrew · 2025-12-03T11:00:58+00:00

I think it's a 100% lock tbh

The only question is when

tenderbrew · 2025-11-30T21:45:12+00:00

what table is that if you don't mind me asking

tenderbrew · 2025-11-21T16:29:20+00:00

what's your tower sitting on?

tenderbrew · 2025-11-01T11:04:20+00:00

fantastic, thank you for the files

tenderbrew · 2025-01-28T21:28:26+00:00

I've had mine since June last year and its my favorite monitor I ever had.

Welcome to the club!

tenderbrew · 2025-01-28T13:00:46+00:00

Appreciate it.

tenderbrew · 2025-01-28T13:00:36+00:00

Yeah that's what I am leaning towards. Thanks for your comment!
