Yeah, I bought the 3100 to support them and regretted that decision, unfortunately, when it came time to replace I was in a time crunch like you and wasn’t able to run my backups though a translation and it was taking way too long to do it manually so I had to just load pfSense and load the backup.
If I ever buy new hardware and the old isn’t dead though, I’m definitely going to try and make the shift away from it.
Right‽ Gotta love when people think that their opinion is the only one that matters.
Dude is making one board that’ll work for as many situations as possible and letting you decide what you want to do with it (and it’s right there in the name - future proof!), but somehow that is honestly too much.
For myself, I like having options.
Also, the official HA hardware also has an expansion port on it, think this guy complained about having that on there as being too much?
Every goddamned day, seriously.
One of the mods said (in the article) that to their knowledge it’s mostly the paid admins removing it not the unpaid moderators.
To me, that’s the purpose of a “homelab” not the purpose of self hosting. There’s a lot of overlap, but they’re not quite the same. Homelab has a goal of learning, but just self hosting doesn’t need to.
