Rachel<p><span>So looking at my home networking, I've got three main options<br><br>1. Keep opnsense as the router, possibly even keep the switch but add a 2.5gb switch <br>2. Go crawling back to unifi (less likely, $$$)<br>3. Swap the core out with Microtik, including router and core switches <br><br>The third option is really interesting to me, but I've heard people talk about limitations that they've encountered with Microtik so I'm really curious how people feel about them and what those limitations were<br><br></span><a href="https://transitory.social/tags/Networking" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Networking</a> <a href="https://transitory.social/tags/Homelab" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homelab</a> <a href="https://transitory.social/tags/MicroTik" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicroTik</a> <a href="https://transitory.social/tags/Unifi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unifi</a> <a href="https://transitory.social/tags/Opnsense" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Opnsense</a></p>
Kiraso<p>I'm so good at buying stuff for my <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> and so bad at actually placing that in service.

Mauricio Teixeira 🇺🇸🇧🇷<p>Ideas that you get when walking off to blow out steam: I'll just build a VM inside Proxmox, and try to replicate all the services from one of my Raspberry Pi.

I'm testing out #Jellyfin as a possible alternative to #Plex in my #homelab, so far so good, but I'm kinda puzzled why the subs on my media seem kinda "broken"? As in, they're all perfectly fine when played from my Plex server, but when playing them on Jellyfin (through the Web UI), they're not at all synced to the actual video/audio. What's up with that?

There is so much more shit you have to do to make things HA! I"m trying to see how I can make an s3 gateway highly available in the #homelab . Need to create multiple of the things, then you need to load balance them, then you need to anycast or Dynamic DNS the load balancers so those are HA!

Fuck it I'm taking the outage!!

TIL you can mount an NFS share to a pod running in Kubernetes.

My use case for this is to have my Synology provide the backend storage, Kubernetes handles the containers, and Nextcloud is my frontend.*

As an added bonus, I can still use Finder in MacOS to get to my files, if I want to. No client required.

*Why not just use the Synology interface you might ask? Over time, Synology has reduced features on their platform. Version 7.2.2 of their Disk Station Manager killed off video station as well as HEVC support, for example.
