    More shady stuff from pfsense

    I wonder how many people will upload SSH Keys and certificates as part of their config to that service :eek:

    Let’s all Pause for a moment and Consider the state of pfsense

    My post was a more general reply and not focused at you personally in any way, but I can understand why it might seem that way. But rest assured, that is not the case, I wasn't trying to indirectly imply anything. Just replying in a general sense :).

    Let’s all Pause for a moment and Consider the state of pfsense

    I've used PFSene for about 11 years (home user). It does what it needs to do, and it does it well. I run a Netgate appliance and have had PFsense Plus since it's been available. So, in that regard, the changes don't change anything concerning my deployment. I've always been pro-open-source, and...

    More shady stuff from pfsense

    I've had a look at VyOS and been playing around with it for a few days. It gives off a clean appeal without all the moving parts of a webgui - I like it. It seems more polished and well maintained than both PFSense and OPNSense. However it's a bit of an uphill battle learning a CLI while trying...

    Purchase of older 10GbE NIC X540-T1 on Ebay

    Refreshing core of a 2016 Broadwell server

    Sometimes you just need to get your thoughts on paper, so someone else can point you in the right direction :). I got blinded by not having NVMe on the motherboard and not having PCIe 4.0 connectivity. But obviously I have globs of PCIe slots, so I can make use of them. PCIe 4.0 is fast, but...

    Refreshing core of a 2016 Broadwell server

    Hi all, I have had this server since 2016, with the only addition being a cheap 2nd hand Intel Xeon E5-2697A V4. I'm looking at refreshing this machine with a new Motherboard, CPU and RAM (storage at a later date) to get onto a modern platform as well as opening up options for more modern...
