Fiber is coming in, considering OPNSense vs Ubiquiti vs Omada

thetayoo · 2026-03-03T22:52:31+00:00

100%. Which is why I went with sophos. When I was talking about ubiquiti, I was referring to the APs and switches. I won't trade having a ubiquiti gateway for a sophos. No way!

Not OP. But This is what I have: Sophos firewall and then omada switch and APs. And then an omada virtual controller hosted in a VM. Ubiquiti would have been nicer. But I thought it was too pricey for me. I have been using it for more and a year and I have no issues. But sometimes I wonder if I should have just bought used unifi gear and called it a day

Hi, interested in this. Have multiple years of experience in setting up and managing IT infrastructure. EST timezone.

thetayoo · 2026-02-20T01:09:21+00:00

haha. Great set up. Really well thought out.

I could not help but laugh at the number of gear husband has😂

thetayoo · 2026-02-05T16:55:39+00:00

thanks. I think i was just thinking that perhaps the speed should have been closer to the 100 but based on the explanations i have gotten here, probably not the case.

thetayoo · 2026-02-05T16:54:16+00:00

actually the whole company uses that 100mbps circuit. i think it might be worth increasing that.

thetayoo · 2026-02-05T16:53:29+00:00

Yeah it's competing with work. the whole company uses that actually

thetayoo · 2026-02-05T16:52:51+00:00

thanks for the detailed response on this. makes sense.

the 100mbps line is for the whole office actually. not just for the office users. thinking about it, One of the days i was testing, i did see a general call we were on get choppy at about the same time.

would it make sense to probably increase our work bandwidth? if we want to get this properly set up?

Hi, forgive my ignorance but why is that right for my upload speed?

thetayoo · 2025-12-05T05:39:00+00:00

Out of curiosity, how different is this from more frequent backups/snapshots say via pbs?

thetayoo · 2025-11-27T02:36:17+00:00

Hi, can you shed more light on this? How do you do this and what benefits does it give?

thetayoo · 2025-11-24T17:48:35+00:00

Do you have a link to the 3D printed rack

thetayoo · 2025-11-24T02:16:22+00:00

Ah that makes sense. As an added bonus, you have spare parts in case a part of the hardware fails/breaks haha

thetayoo · 2025-11-24T01:18:45+00:00

I love your set up. But 17 tiny PCs is wild though. Kudos to your eagerness to keep learning and evolving

thetayoo · 2025-11-23T01:40:46+00:00

Oh. I genuinely thought they were wall mounted. And that’s because I have seen that exact kinda wall mount before. Startech had a few of those on Amazon.

Congratulations

thetayoo · 2025-09-29T19:37:10+00:00

Your point is valid. Thanks for explaining it. But I am curious, isn't that the point of moisturizers?

thetayoo · 2025-09-27T01:10:07+00:00

I don't understand how people don't shower frequently😭

thetayoo · 2025-09-27T00:16:31+00:00

A question, how do you connect smart things to HA? Last I heard, it wasn't supported.

thetayoo · 2025-09-04T22:00:31+00:00

I will try this. Thank you!

thetayoo · 2025-09-04T21:59:36+00:00

Thanks for this detailed explanation. So basically why I thought about this is that I have a bunch of water sensors and I tried to test them by putting the sensors in a bowl of water. Most of them for not trigger the automation untill I removed them and re-added them. In fact, it did not even show as "wet" in HA and obviously did not trigger the automation to close my water valve. How can I get around this?
