I feel like they would've got more challenging questions had they asked here. They could've even done it on mastodon, with the hashtag . Instead they chose to prop up the closed web 🥺

This is old news, did something new happen?

It looks like it was an interesting AMA. Good answers, though no particularly hard questions.

Elaborate please?

sabreW4K3 ,

And still nothing has changed

Great advice.

This is funny, because I just read something the other day that said we started out by domesticating foxes

I'm a newbie, so my answers may be wrong. Forgive me. Someone will correct me though 💪

To take full advantage of my ISP's 2.5G ethernet port do I need a router AND a switch capable of 2.5G througput ? Or only the router and the switch is going to divid it accordingly between all connected devices on a 1G switch?

You need a switch capable of 2.5 too

I have no idea what's the best bet, a SBC (bananapi mini, orange pi, raspberry pi...) a fully fleged router (like TP-Link AX1800 and flash it with opensense/openwrt) or an Intel N100 Celeron N5105 Soft Router ?

This one is 100% preference and it comes down to what you want to run. The Banana Pi RPi-R3 has good OpenWRT support. N100s have PfSense support out of the box.

But given your requirements, you need OpenWRT/PfSense/OPNSense

Any good recommendation I should look at for a managed switch that would work great with the same capabilities above?

There's some decent recent cheap ones from AliExpress, but if you can afford, grab yourself a UniFi 8 Lite POE. That said, the switch you linked seems a good purchase.

Probably last question, is regarding wifi APs. Is it possible to make an access point from my router even tough it hasn't atennas? If I connect an access point directly to my router, will it be capable of giving away wifi connection?

Depends on the router, but some old routers you can stick in AP mode. Some you can flash OpenWRT and then make an access point. If it works, it's usable.

But again, take everything I said with a grain of salt. It just so happens I've been asking similar questions of late and am just telling you what stuck.

Watch how the mega corporations try and employ everyone overseas now

This is such an epic post. I am super grateful. I was definitely thinking about a POE switch because it just makes sense to me that you'd have the network power what it can rather than have to monitor batteries.

Talking of which, I hope we get Power Over Thread coming to Matter 2.0. That would be glorious. It wouldn't even need a lot of power, just enough to keep motion sensors topped up.

Thank you so so much.

Good thing you said that. I thought the firewall rules were automatically set via OpenWRT.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

You have four switches?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Thank you

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Would you recommend a separate POE switch for the cameras?

Is there anything you would change if you had to start all over again?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

So can't a router do the VLAN stuff?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Thank you so much for writing that out.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Isn't there some overlap between NAT, DHCP and DNS, they feel like they should be the same thing? Or am I oversimplifying it? Because DHCP is assigning IP addresses, DNS is looking up IP addresses and NAT is saying that IP address points there 👉🏾

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

So a router simply connects the WAN with the LAN. But doesn't the modem do that?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I feel like routers are overhyped.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Not a pro, but wholly useful. Honestly, I've not got a clue. I've just kinda got an idea in my head. It's like feeling around for a light switch in a house you've never been in.

I’m a little annoyed by this as I was really looking forward to what Arrival could bring to the EV space.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Thank you so much, I’ll give it a go

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Sorry to bother you, but I do actually have a question.

I created a superuser and a normal user and saved both to the .env file I placed in my /opt/n8n directory alongside the init-data.sh and docker-compose

I then did a pull and then done an up and then I went to log in, but I’m getting this message


<span style="color:#323232;">Init Problem
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">There was a problem loading init data:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Unauthorized 
</span>

What have I done wrong?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I took a break and then did a Google and it turns out that it’s this[1] issue. Thank you so so much, you’re amazing!
