Yeah they're good now. In the early days they had a lot of quirks and also a lot of people weren't settling them up correctly so older support posts have a lot of negative guff. But with their new setup and support apps (Unifi+wifiman) the success rate of getting things working how you want for a first timer is much higher these days.

Their new policy VPN routing and DNS filtering options in the ultra and max units makes the loss of full x-sense control less of an issue.

I used to have 2 gateways one pfsense VM and one physical to sort out filtering and stuff but I switched to ubiquiti and it does everything I need in one easy to manage unit again.

I heard the calming effect of Ganon imagery saved Xmas last year.

Ok so reading between the lines I'm meant to try digg.com again?

I opened Lemmy and this was my top post in home, I came back 6hrs later and it was still the top post. I'm not mad.

Ubiquiti is good. You just have to learn how it works. But that's like any software defined network. There are times when they will give you a little too much control expecting you know the consequences of your actions and you send the wrong config and lock yourself out. They do make mistakes in their firmware but nowhere near as much as inexperienced techs make a mistake and blame the equipment.

I only just noticed people calling her Joanne because she identifies as JK. Nice one.

You're telling me other Tumblr users are on here?

High Availability not Home Assistant.

I cheat on Lemmy with Tumblr but Reddit is the ex I shook.

Just one tech's opinion but I've worked in storage for almost 20years. WD Ultrastar (formerly Hitachi) has the most consistent reliability historically. The current series of WD Gold's are Ultrastar's with a different sticker and often cheaper than the Ultrastar stickered version.

They are a little more expensive than their competition but worth it.

2nd Exos, 3rd everything else.

I can't remember the last time I had one of my Ultrastar arrays having a failure. If my clients need to choose a cheaper drive on price I have tried Ironwolfs and have replaced a bunch of 10tb Ironwolfs a few 12's.

In the consumer space the Backblaze drive failure releases are good to pay attention to.

Performance wise all SoHo CMR drives are pretty similar in the 7200rpm models.

A long time ago Microsoft and some teaching sources used .local in example documentation for local domains and it stuck. Like contoso.com was Microsoft's example company. I was taught to use .local decades ago and it took a very long time to unlearn it.
