cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/21641378 > So I just added a TP-Link switch (TL-SG3428X) and access point (EAP670) to my network, using OPNSense for routing, and was previously using a TP-Link SX-3008F switch as an aggregate (which I no longer need). I’m still within the return window for the new switch and access point, and have to admit the sale prices were my main reason with going for these items. I understand there have been recent articles mentioning TP-Link and security risks, so I’m thinking if I should consider returning these, and upping my budget to go for ubiquity? The AP would only be like $30 more for an equivalent, so that’s negligible, but a switch that meets my needs is about 1.6x more, however still only has 2 SFP+ ports, while I need 3 at absolute minimum. > > I’m generally happy with the performance, however there is a really annoying bug where if I reboot a device, the switch drops down to 1G speed instead of 10G, and I have to tinker with the settings or reboot the switch to get 10G working again. This is true for the OPNSense uplink, my NAS and workstation. Same thing happened with the 3008F, and support threads on the forums have not been helpful. > > In any case, any opinions of switching to ubiquity would be worth it?

Hi all, I’m having an issue with an NFS mount that I use for serving podcasts through audibookshelf. The issue has been ongoing for months, and I’m not sure where the problem is and how to start debugging. My setup: - Unraid with NFS share “podcasts” set up - Proxmox on another machine, with VM running Fedora Server 40. - Storage set up in Fedora to mount the “podcasts” share on boot, works fine - docker container on the same Fedora VM has Audiobookshelf configured with the “podcasts” mount passed through in the docker-compose file. The issue: NFS mount randomly drops. When it does, I need to manually mount it again, then restart the Audiobookshelf container (or reboot the VM, but I have other services). There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the unmount. It doesn’t coincide to any scheduled updates or spikes in activity. No issue on the Unraid side that I can see. Sometimes it drops over night, sometimes mid day. Sometimes it’s fine for a week, other times I’m remounting twice a day. What has finally forced me to seek help is the other day I was listening to a podcast, paused for 10-15 mins and couldn’t restart the episode until I went through the manual mount procedure. I checked and it was not due to the disk sinning down. I’ve tried updating everything I could, issue persists. I only just updated to Fedora 40. It was on 38 previously and initially worked for many months without issue, then randomly started dropping the NFS mounts (I tried setting up other share mounts and same problem). Update to 39, then 40 and issue persists. I’m not great with logs but I’m trying to learn. Nothing sticks out so far. Does anyone have any ideas how I can debug and hopefully fix this?

Hello, I’m planning a rather large trip later this year and have been searching for something to help me plan and organize. I’ve come across a few apps that are not exactly privacy friendly, like TripIt and Wanderlog. Does anyone know of any self hosted or otherwise open source alternatives to these apps?

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right community, but the home networking magazines seem to be pretty dead. I’m a bit green with regard to networking, and am looking for help to see if the plan I’ve come up with will work. The main image in the post is my current network setup. Basically the ISP modem/router is just a pass through and the 10 Gb port is connected to my Asus router, which has the DHCP server activated. All of my devices, home lab and smart home devices are connected to the Asus router via either Wifi or Ethernet. This works well, but I have many neighbours close by, and with my 30+ wifi devices, I think things aren’t working as well as they could be. I guess you could say one of my main motivations to start messing with this is to clean it up and move all possible devices to Ethernet. The planned new setup is as follows, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible to function this way. https://i.postimg.cc/7YftSFt6/IMG-9281.jpg ISP modem/router > 2.5 Gb unmanaged switch > 2.5 Gb capable devices (NAS, hypervisor, PCs) will connect directly here, along with a 1 Gb managed switch to handle the DHCP > Asus router would connect to the managed switch to provide wifi, and remaining wired devices will all connect to the managed switch as well. Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks! Edit: fixed second image url
