Dedicated wifi for automation allows me to have devices such as Xiaomi Vaccuum, or security camera not phoning home. OpenWRT with good firewall rules completely isolate my “public” containers/VMs from my lan.

Server was built over time, disk by disk. I’m now aiming to buy only 12TB drives, but I got to sacrifice the first two as parity…

I just love the simplicity of snapraid / mergerfs. Even if I were to loose 3 disks (my setup allows me the loss of 2 disks), I’d only loose data that’s on these disks, not the whole array. I lost one drive once, recovery went well and was relatively easy.

I try to keep things separated and I may be running a bit too many containers/vms, but well, I got resources to spare :)

      That would be a smart idea for the ISP. Sell a 5 gigabits fiber connection but force the customer to use their router which comes with a single gigabit port

        Indeed, the isp router only has 1x 2.5gbps and 2x 1gbps. I wanted both my pc and my server to have 2.5gbps to wan, and I wanted 2.5gbps between them too

          So it’s someone like Iliad

          They sell a 5 gbit fiber but they force their router, and it only has 2x 1 gigabit ports, and 1 2.5 gigabit ports. Most people only use wifi, so they pay for 5 gbit, but use 150 mbit, lol

          (in their defence, for the price they offer this bandwidth (only 20 euro per month), i’m ok with that)
