Years ago, I switched our little Linksys/Cisco router out for a RaspberryPi configured as a firewall/router. I noticed an immediate jump in the speed of my home network. It also allowed me to set up scripts to automatically block our kids' internet access during certain hours, and a lot of other neat capabilities that simply aren't possible with most out-of-the-box routers.
I've been upgrading RPis as they are released.

Getting slightly annoyed with my Unifi setup which seems to be having issues. Today it’s blocking my access to coredns.io for no obvious reason. Works fine connecting when outside the unifi network. #unifi #ubiquiti #homenetwork
What would be a sensible step up from running my local network stuff on Raspberry Pi devices? Thinking an old mini desktop machine with proxmox to run a few bits separately? #homenetwork #proxmox #homelab
Anyone with issues using Google Chrome and resolving local DNS hosts at your home network? Does Chrome use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and queries its public Google servers by default? 
It‘s always DNS… 
Any experiences? 
Finally I was able to discover my #Docker #containers automatically as services on my #gethomepage deployment. The issue was pretty simple and a stupid one in the end. 
Running the homepage container as root when using Docker socket directly solved it. It is mentioned in the documentation, but I overlooked it for some reason. 
I‘m still excited for the widget. Need to dig into building customized widgets. Anyone experiences?

Created an overview of the devices and apps running in my home network with #gethomepage. It looks also pretty neat on mobile device and I really lime the available widgets. #homenetwork #proxmox #gitlab #pihole
Just realized my network is perfectly balanced. I have 13 wired clients and 13 wireless.

Découvrez Sunshine/Moonlight ! J'ai résolu mon besoin de streamer de la vidéo et de l'audio sans latence sur mon LAN. Sunshine, serveur auto-hébergé, et Moonlight, client multi-OS. Moonlight permet de transformer de vieux terminaux en écrans de visualisation. Idéal pour lancer une vidéo sur le PC principal et la regarder en même temps partout chez soi.

Just enabled internet traffic flow visualization in UniFi UI. And the winners of the most constant traffic flows are (except, obviously, my macbook): the vacuum cleaner, the printer, and the air purifier. That's some crazy shit.

Job done. 9 x 80mm holes cut in the ply at the back for cables and ventilation.
Top drawer contains power board, router, an old Mac Mini running AdGuard Home, Tapo T315 Temperature and Humidity Monitor.
Bottom drawer contains 4-port Netgear switch, Fingbox, Tapo H200 hub, Home Assistant Green.
Under desk no longer a dusty trip hazard. Just Starlink cable, power for monitor, Belkin Qi2 charger, and MacBook Pro, and TP-Link AV1300 3-Port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline base station.
This could likely have been done much better, but this cost me nothing except 2 hours of my time.
Do you have a frequently scheduled #patchday for your home IT equipment? Usually I have done it on the fly but now I scheduled it on a monthly basis and check if there are updates/patches available and needed. Wish me luck. 
Приложение Keenetic и RMM с 1 марта — всё.
Компания сообщила, что приложение для настройки сетевых устройств и система удалённого мониторинга и управления Keenetic перестанет работать в России. «В связи с изменениями в применимом законодательстве», — сказано в сообщении компании.
Вместо приложения Keenetic для настройки и управления сетевым оборудованием придётся использовать утилиту Netcraze. Скачать её можно в App Store, Google Play или RuStore.
After years of putting my Ethernet switch and other network equipment on the floor leaning against the wall, I decided to get an actual rack to put everything in. It's so much more convenient now :)
Just got an email from Microsoft, telling me they will raise the price of MS 365 from 140 AUD to 180 AUD.
Time to rethink that solution.
For office apps we can move to LibreOffice, I think that will work more than fine for our needs.
I have been using OneDrive as backup (simply because we had it.), moving away from that definitely will need some research.
Any suggestions from #homelab / #homenetwork people regarding online backup services? I don't need that much. 0.5 TB would be fine, but 1TB would give some room going forward.

Two choices in my mind:
1) Factory reset and set everything up again or
2) Check out sales and buy a new router
Who can resist spending money on a few new bells and whistles? A quick online order and a husband prepared to go pick it up and cruising with a new router. Same SSIDs and passwords so everything reconnected over the next few hours.
I think I have got rid of one mesh repeater in the process (for now at least). #Wifi #HomeNetwork
I feel like the mouse that's been given a cookie. I've very quickly gone from “I have one machine that can do 2.5GbE to the internet" to "all ports in my house need to be 2.5GbE capable”. I think the next step will be "all wifi needs to be 6GHz w/ 2.5GbE uplinks”. Not sure it's worth the

Sonic 10G fiber + Unifi UDM SE (2.5GbE WAN port) + CalDigit 4 thunderbolt dock w/ 2.5GbE port. I don't think it will make a huge difference, but it's still cool. #unifi #homenetwork #sonic
My new network switch for my home network has arrived and is installed.
TP-Link and easy-easy auto configuration.
I've been sent the POE version rather than the cheaper non-POE version I ordered, so it's future proofed I suppose.
My WiFi speeds seem to have marginally improved which is a bit odd considering it's an extra step in the network between router and me.
I bought it planning for the new broadband next month.
#GoodMorning! My Wife has plans, so I'm turning into stay at home dad for a moment. No cycling today. My brain is going to get bored, so I'm gonna plan some more unnecessary purchases...
This is my overly complicated apartment #network! It doesn't have to be that overbuilt, but it is. And I'm planning more...
This still needs one more switch (like 16 ports, PoE) and maybe one more AP so I can look at nice graphs, logs and stats...
Suggestions on software to provide both ad blocking and other content filtering for an inline device? I'm familiar with Pi-Hole for ad blocking (I do this today with a raspberry pi that's inside the router's network) but not with other options. The problem with our current setup is that the Pi-Hole only helps with my wireless network; wired clients bypass it by connecting to the internet gateway directly (due to physical constraints).
Thinking of putting a dual-NIC device inline between my router and the internet, for whole-network ad blocking and other content/access control.
Probably a mini-PC running some Linux. Looking at Beelink and GMKtec as likely options.
