I honestly haven’t had that many problems with it. My hbo account isn’t the same either, but it works just fine, I do hate the Netflix app previewing everything and not able to disable it. Prime and Hulu, well those apps are horrible no matter what device you’re on. If they can’t be arsed to have a dedicated section of ALL NEW RELEASES, then what’s the point?

2 of these were posted to ebay in the last week. I had originally planned on getting the 2u equivalent but if the 2-node 1U versions are more prevalent, I could get those instead. I’d need one of them regardless.
Whatever the case, I am looking for 5U of 2 node per 1U in the X10 generation of Supermicro servers with 2.5" drives…

Looking at hosting a local openbsd mirror for myself. Per instructions here: OpenBSD: Mirrors
A suggested httpd.conf(5) configuration for httpd(8) that is suitable for being www and ftp space mirror is here.
The sample httpd.conf says:
# This assumes you have checked out the www repository under
# /var/www/htdocs/www and that you have a mirror of the OpenBSD
# distribution space mounted under /var/www/pub/OpenBSD, and
# you are running OpenBSD httpd with it chrooting to the default
# /var/www location.
I don’t understand what this part refers to: checked out the www repository under /var/www/htdocs/www if the whole mirror is already in /var/www/pub/OpenBSD…

No rsync in vanilla OpenBSD… ok sure, probably some reason for that…
pkg_add rsync
quirks-4.53 signed on 2021-11-09T19:08:45Z
Ambiguous: rsync could be rsync-3.2.3p0-iconv rsync-3.2.3p0
hmm, ok… but I want to script this and not worry about rsync versions changing in the future…
pkg_add -aIz rsync
quirks-4.53 signed on 2021-11-09T19:08:45Z
Ambiguous: rsync could be rsync-3.2.3p0-iconv rsync-3.2.3p0
wtf is the -z flag even for…
yes 1 | pkg_add -ai rsync
quirks-4.53 signed on 2021-11-09T19:08:45Z
Ambiguous: choose package for rsync
a 0: <None>
1: rsync-3.2.3p0
2: rsync-3.2.3p0-iconv
rsync-3.2.3p0: ok
The following new rcscripts were installed: /etc/rc.d/rsyncd
See rcctl(8) for details.
Great job, team. Really the best possible solution here…
I guess I can just echo 1 | pkg_add -ai rsync but who passes up a chance to use the yes command?

For the Colo or a customer?
You going SWOS or RouterOS

Colo. Pretty set on Unifi for customers with the controller virtualized in colo. I’m selectively taking cues from lawrence systems.
I would ditch unifi altogether, but once you have half a dozen switches and a few APs at a client site, you realize how valuable the consolidated interface is. If stacking was a thing in Ubiquiti/Mikrotik price range, that would be ideal.
I plan to use RouterOS simply because there’s an Ansible module for it, but I probably won’t use any layer 3 features. I am hoping that the one fast ethernet port isn’t out of band cause I want to plug an IPMI port into it.

Sounds like a business idea for you to try and make for a new brand of gear(never used the pane so no idea what all it gives you)
What about RJ45 SFP adapters?We use them all the time on cisco gear.

If you can make sense of my diagram, you’ll notice every single port is used.
The 2 switches are the blue things on the top and bottom. Already planning to use rj45 adapters for the redundant WAN connections into the switches.
I mean only shit I am coming up with is not ideal, was thinking using two of the 4 port SPF+ mikrotik switches and isnt really an actual solution depending on goal, do they make a 48port version XD
They have a 48-port 10GBaseT switch but it has a horrifying thread in their forum. They might have resolved it in a hardware revision, but for years people were having whole blocks of ports cut in and out and Mikrotik didn’t do anything about it. It’s the main reason I haven’t dealt with them until now. Also, inexplicably, it only supports RouterOS, so you don’t have to option to run SwOS.
Didn’t see any issues with the SFP+ switch though and it’s been out for a while.

I feel like i had some isssus with my 12 port 10GBaseT at one point. What about TP Link? (Note buy from authorized resell listed on their site, my rma is being serviced but was a PITA)
Oh you need Ansible , would have to look if they have that support
Doesnt seem they have anything good at first glance

Yeah, I’ve been digging around and there aren’t any great options. I am happy to have written off used enterprise switches though. That was an expensive conclusion to arrive at.
Speaking of, selling an Arista SFP+ swtich soon…

With all the crazy pricing on hardware right now, I am wondering how one of these will fair as a vanilla OpenBSD router. It’s cheap because the Atom CPU doesn’t have AES instructions, but I bet it doesn’t really matter for a basic gateway.
I’m going to set up a network for an art gallery soon. If this tests ok, I’ll use it there. Literally 2 people using WiFi, should be low demand.

Who wants to bet that turns into 10-20
good find tho that is super cheap.
CPU from 2010 damn bish is old, looking into it more
“Doing a simple Iperf between two hosts, top shows about 27% system 36% interrupt and gets me 665 Mb/s throughput. So the Atom is being taxed. Doing a bidirectional test (iperf -d) gets about 50% and 50%, but the aggregate throughput falls to 581 Mb/s (538 and 43.3 Mb/s). That lopsidedness is very interesting.”
So two person wifi should be good for plenty of speed. Guessing wouldnt use for more then 4 ish users, not sure what the ISP connection speed is though.

Worst case, I use it at home as CARP failover.

That might be a fun cheap addon to mess with.
I should probably ditch my 10gbe adapter and go SFP+ to save on some power, could probably sell my intels and get a tiny amount of extra cash swapping them out.

Think this might be the best deal on firewall hardware at the moment… takes some extra work for the bios though.

Also, putting a lot of trust into whoever made that bios…
