$650 for the box leaves you $350 for drives and a 10Gb NIC. I've been using serverpartdeals refub drives with good results. They're ~$10/tb.
I think the N100 type CPUs are limited on PCIe lanes. You end up with less nvme, less sata, and usually no slots.
You can find x570 am4 boards for less than $100 now. Two nvme, 8 sata, 2 big slots and 2 small.
But all of that flexibility and expandability is going to cost you in power. My 7700x w/A380, 3 hdd is 125 watts 24/7. $10 a month on my power bill. I think those n100 mini PCs only have a 35w brick and idle at less than 15w.
I've been using tinfoil and it hasn't been maintained. This is way better!

I have a fully automatic 2x18tb magic hard drive. I'm a member of 4 private trackers. I've been disabling JavaScript since I could click a mouse.
404 are legit journalists and I pay the $8 a month because they do damn good work.
Any decent electric convection oven has an element around the fan. Mine is 2500w, 1000w more than most countertop appliances.

Even the ones built into microwaves have it but they're a measly 900w it seems.
Why is it bad?
That's always borked both connections for me
They have some older DC stuff but most of their offerings in the US are 120vac. Their price to performance is great
I have a Shelly plug on my rain barrel. It monitors the current to the pump and stops it when the barrel is empty.
Boring stuff- Sprinkler controllers Current monitoring on a few circuits in the panel so the girlfriend can see if she left her hair straightener switched on

I get why rivers and creeks and streams were historically convenient borders, but when we started building cities along them it got weird. Then some mf'er invented the bridge and it all went to hell.
State borders if we sliced through major population centers
I've got 4 Omada APs and a virtual controller. There was a bug I experienced where a Google home mini could initiate a broadcast storm. TP-Link got me in touch with engineers very quickly and they fixed the bug in less than a week.

We will just quickly note that the “NICGIGA” name was one of the most frequent points that commenters focused on in the YouTube video.
EAP670 Firmware 1.0.14- bug fixed for me!
From the release notes- Fixed the bug that that multicast acceleration caused VLAN data forwarding errors.
I was having problems with Google home starting a multicast flood. Opened a ticket with TPLink, and 3 weeks later it's fixed!
I could power down the GH with the offending IP address and the flood would continue. Unplugging the EAP wouldn't always fix it either. I did some wiresharking and sent them diags, and they recreated the bug and squashed it!
travel routers
So I've seen the TP-Link and GL.inet travel routers, and it looks like some of the GLs are/were built to run wrt firmwares. Stock TP firmwares have been pretty full features in my experience. I really want USB-C power. The GL wireguard support looks useful too, but it looks like their newer stuff is proprietary? Another want, not need, is 5 GHz band.
Does anyone have a favorite model or another board that can be flashed?
Hass templating compound logical operators
I'm working in the template editor, and if I use the 'and' operator, an entity disappears. I finally found/guessed a working combination but I can't find any examples to see the right combo of operators and parenthesis. HA tells you to look at jinja docs, jinja literally says "There is not an awful lot to talk about here"
any template guru out there know the secret sauce?
Caddy subdomain reverse proxy performance
I'd asked about using a VPS to get better routing to my homelab in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/1424540
I've narrowed down my problem- if i use a subdomain in my caddyfile, performance is 1/3 or worse compared to just the root.
example.com {reverse_proxy 192.168.1.57}
will saturate my gigabit lan connection at 980ish. On a 5gUW connection i get my advertised 50 mbit or more
librespeed.example.com {reverse_proxy 192.168.1.57}
I get 220-250 megabits on my internal lan. The same 5gUW connection will only get 7 or 8 mbit.
It's strange to me that everything seems to work just fine, but it's just slow. Anyone got any ideas?
improving homelab upload performance- VPS proxy?
I've got 1000/50 service from a mid-size ISP. It's pretty consistent- any time I run a speed test from home, it will hit those numbers. I have an opnsense plugin checking twice a day.
Performance from my self-hosted services to the internet, however, is very inconsistent. Sometimes I get the full 50, sometimes it will only hit 5 Mbit/s.
Is it possible a VPS proxy could provide less congested routes? Is there a better way to troubleshoot the bottleneck? When i notice a slowdown, usually watching a clip on frigate, I'll use a public speedtest to check my field connection. If it's over 50 down, I'll check librespeed on my server. If frigate or plex is fast, librespeed will be too. If I've noticed a problem, librespeed has always agreed.
My host machine is a 5700g w/ 64 gigs of ram, X520 nic to an S33 modem, so I don't think it's a hardware bottleneck.
