I was asking about ways to socialize more. AI mentioned social media but I said I didn’t like Facebook as it seemed very intrusive. It lead me here.

Wife called a plumber to her work last night who quoted her $3400.00 to unplug a sink and modify a plumbing.

I spent half the day, snaking and plumbing for $77.00 cost.

Guess who is a hero tonight? 😃

You can have multiple ports per vlan. I don't used managed switches so I configure vlans in the unifi controller on the access points. For example I will tag the guest network as a separate vlan. Then I control all the routing with firewall rules on pfsense.

I had a Synology about 5 years ago before truenas. It was fine. The main problem I had with it was the price for the quality of hardware. You could build a FAR better device for MUCH cheaper and load truenas onto it. Yes you have to figure a lot out yourself. And the support you have is forums. But people in the truenas forums are very helpful.

There are a ton of apps already ported over to truenas. Plex and unifi controller to name a few. Also immich for photos. And nextcloud if you're into that.

The one thing I found that Synology does much better is surveillance cameras.

Gm! Bud 😉

That stuff is 50/50. 50/50 that I went to bed too early to enjoy

Unifi and pfsense is what I use as well. I found an awesome deal on Amazon for some 2.5 gb poe switches. For like $80. That, a few access unifi access points and a pfsense router and it can do most things an enterprise network can do.

Imagine how quick that would sell out on Nostr 😆

His pfsense videos are good. Also unifi and truenas. He has a lot of other useful ones but I have those systems so I can speak to those specifically.

Gm bud!
