I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.
My modem is plugged into that.
I’ve never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn’t fucking with it and did something stupid ill-advised, so I don’t try that kind of stuff unless I’m home.
Any other phone is going to have that bloat and more
Some search engines let you block sites from future results. If I’m on my desktop, I’ll knock out the obvious ones on the first page of a search. It’s not much, but it’s honest work.
Same with the bloat. Do I want Cortana, Bixby, AND Gemini lurking in the shadows?
To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-
My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I “fixed it” by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by “fixed it” I really mean “got it working”
So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.
Never know when you’re going to need one on a new moon on the ides of march formatted to apple_HFS to update the firmware on your cousins 2004 pioneer in-dash dvd player
also it has to be 4 gig USB 1.1
UAC- the design is very human
Those PTC start relays die all the time. These are rated a 200k starts, approx 11 years at 2 starts an hour.

A proper application datasheet- everything you could ever want to know about them
I saw that on a scaffold one time curiosity got the best of me. Walked right into it
If you’re in the omada ecosystem, a one-off unifi device is going to frustrate you. They’re trying to wrangle you into buying shit like this: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/up-floodlight
Which part is slow? I run a software controller in a proxmox VM and it is plenty quick. My router is an opnsense vm and has 8 ryzen 7700x threads assigned to it, so no problems there 😁
I keep my Linux ISOs on mergerfs over NFS via open media vault. All of them are easily replaced so I don’t bother backing them up.
Nextcloud, paperless, and photos get their whole image backed up on proxmox local, and a remote PBS. I’m the only user so the sizes are quite manageable.
The Hairpin Route of Oak St!
Wait, that’s illegal
I have a $5/mo vps running caddy over wireguard to get better routing when I’m on mobile.
Otherwise, my traffic goes to my home ISPs hub 600 miles away and back. The VPS is less than 100 miles away and it performs much better.
I know you’re looking for non-intel solutions but here is my setup-
Mobo r8169 is the management interface for proxmox.
X710 4 port:
3 ports passed as a a single vmbr for LAN:
- 1 fiber optic to detached building
- 1 DAC to core switch
- 1 DAC to workstation
1 port passed as vmbr for WAN
That config was sorta inherited by trying to pass other non-intel nics as pcie and failing. I needed an sfp for the fiber run so I got that 4 port Intel card. It works well enough that I haven’t bothered to reconfigure it to pass the Intel as pcie.
My brother in networking- you can store your files in the L1 cache of your CPU and nextcloud is still going to be slow
And the rest are pure analog
90% of industrial devices are still 100 Mbit/s.
Like the USB superposition
