I'm in the process of updating m homelab. Threw out the qnap nas, replaced it with a homebuild nas on Truenas (4x8TB HDD, 4x1TB SSD). Replacing my ubiquity edgerouter pro 8p with a Mikrotik hEX refresh. About a 10x speedup for throughput, 20x smaller, 1/4 power consumption. Next I'll be looking to replace my edgeswitches. I can run them stand alone, so there's no rush.
I am not going to buy myself deeper into ubiquity. I'll just try to optimize for the current needs.
If you want true foss, run pfsense or opsense on your own hardware.
As horrible as csam is, and let me be clear that I do not want to minimize it, but that was their [final straw/last drop/final grain of rice] to quit xitter?
Oh. Wai until those intel pentium pro's prices are skyrocetting. I never threw out any RAM or CPUs. I knew I was sitting on a goldmine 😁
