As much as I dislike UniFi, it is true that there isn’t really a competitor in their tier of equipment. Upgrading would be a good choice, but if you end up choosing to stay with UniFi, I’d highly recommend the UCGs.

The UDR and UDM line are so horrifically poorly designed it’s frankly astonishing they ever left the drawing board. Not only is the shape unwieldy and awkward enough on its own, the thermals on those things are terrible. I used to wake up to no internet every few weeks because my UDM would overheat and would be unable to boot until you cooled it down. I learned to just stick it in the fridge for a bit to cool it down so it could boot again.

The UniFi UCG ultra and the Max are far better machines, capable of doing just as much if not more than the Pill shaped routers while staying cool and not sounding like a jet engine every time you send a text over wifi. The only thing you even lose is the integrated Access Point which sucks compared to the discrete ones anyway.

This will happen automatically if you buy enough and start experiencing their true hardware failure rate lol.

You can definitely turn Apple Intelligence off

A separate box with apps that work better and just use the one remote.

Yeah “changing”, sure. But “evolving” implies things are changing for the ”better”, which they are not.

Reading between the lines I feel like when you say “Targeted towards self hosters” what you mean is “John Q Hobbyist who doesn’t know any better”

And in response to that I would contend that Gitea is not actually targeted at those folks, though they obviously use it. Gitea is FOSS but it’s still “targeted” at professionals.

It was not

Yeah but Umami is an analytics engine powered by client side tracking. If it was behind a VPN it would be useless.

I don’t know about “all umami instances being infected” but they were certainly all vulnerable.

Well you got me there.

When you say AI, do you mean you’re vibe coding this, or like you’re using AI as a learning tool?

It’s not competing with word, it’s competing with Google Sheets.

Why would someone use Fastmail when there’s protonmail?

No. The reasons the user gave against using ProtonMail are applicable to any and all commercial entities providing email service. It’s not even something you could accomplish yourself.

You’re right about that.

I do sometimes miss PlexAmp, but the native Emby application for music on iOS is pretty decent. Just kinda wish it was decoupled from the main app.

They both suck pretty bad

IIRC raspberry pis aren’t great as big storage NAS due to limited io but like for a small amount of home storage more than adequate.

I have an old Intel 1440 desktop that runs 24/7 hooked up to a UPS along with a Beelink miniPC, my router, and a POE switch and the UPS is reporting a combined 100w.

My UnRAID server is an HP desktop machine from 2011. More than capable of running dozens of services without tons of storage.
