  • Yeah it’s a fun ride.I run a cluster and the storage is replicated and distributed among them. 3/6 of my disks were QLC. One disk went bad super early and caused a bad latency but the other 5 disks kept performance up for the most part. Once I found out it was hardware I went with an enterprise SSD with a a 3 DWPD rating (drive wipe per day) and those beasts are so good. TLC m.2s seem to be okay too but I don’t think I’ll ever touch QLC again.






  • Pfsense got some bad blood for doing shady things to make opnsense look bad. Beyond that, Unifi management is easy to set up and less to mess around with and has auto updates if you keep the contoller up and enable it.when I used opnsense and pfsense even, I left it out of date since I wasn’t following for updates, and it was a lot more micro managing than I wanted to on a router even though I knew how.

    Got time? Want to learn networking? Want more advanced configs? Go wih opnsense/pfsense

    Want to have time to do other things? Unifi

    Edit: also not sure if pfsense or opnsense does, but unifi has the best rated local integration with controller and home assistant. Easy reboot of PoE devices, monitoring PoE power usage, transmission rates on ports, automation, enabling scheduling WiFi networks or security settings, presence detection by tracking peoples phones connected to the WiFi, etc.














  • Hydrogen is a BS excuse to bring environmentally friendly as carbon capture being the only method Fossil fuel industry is. They just want to own the distribution network which they can’t do with EVs. The only reason they are doing both is because all car manufacturers were told they need to do EVs.

    Most of hydrogen is obtained from splitting carbon from Methane. Alternatively the “green” way to make it uses more electricity than charging a battery. Then there is the cost of transporting it to gas stations. Then after all that the engine is less efficient.

    So the only benefit is you refuel faster, but it always will be less green than EVs, even more so when sodium based batteries are mass produced instead of lithium.
