Please, think about the improved products and services before making any rash decisions.

Perhaps lemmy admins should start charging apps like this for API access…

Restic in the homelab and Veeam at work. I’m pretty happy with both!

I’m using cloudflare. Their API is pretty simple so it’s easy to keep the record up to date.

pfSense 3Gb Hardware Recommendations (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi homelabbers!

I'm about to have a 3Gbps WAN connection installed and I'm looking to upgrade my firewall to support it.

Can anyone offer me any advice around choosing the right hardware?

I’m looking at the R86S devices listed on aliexpress, which can be configured with 2 SFP+ 10Gb ports. Has anyone used one?

I'm currently on a 500Mbps link and use a generic aliexpress fanless box with 4 NICs and an Intel J4205 quad core CPU. The J4205 is way overpowered for 500Mbps. I’m not sure what I need to sustain 3Gbps though.

The firewall sits at my network perimeter with a WAN port connected to the ISPs equipment and a LAN port connected to my core switch, which is an old HP procurve with 24 1G ports and 4 SFP+ 10G ports.

I have a handful of VLANs and NAT rules. I run DHCP, DNS, a wireguard VPN tunnel and pfBlockerNG.

This may go without saying in a homelab post, but I’m looking for something cheap and I’m not bothered about support contracts or enterprise-grade reliabilty.

When I play films produced decades ago in stereo or even mono, it’s shocking how much easier the dialogue is to understand. I’ve resorted to spending a not insignificant sum on a 5.1 setup just so I can crank up the centre channel and make the dialogue a bit more intelligible. Even then it still isn’t perfect. The dynamic range just really isn’t suitable for home viewing. I’m still constantly riding the volume to keep sound effects from pissing off my neighbours/sleeping child…

Here’s a youtube video on the same topic I watched recently: https://youtu.be/VYJtb2YXae8

This is my second comment since joining this morning, so yes, significantly more active.
