Y'know, if you ditch the unifi getway in favor of a pfSense based firewall-router, you can install HAProxy in pfSense and avoid having an additional link in the chain (Synology) break.

Fair! I recently upgraded my WiFi from Google WiFi mesh to Unifi and also got a Unifi switch so for me it was nice to have the gateway in the same ecosystem!

b1t5murf.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ubnt unifi used to be good.

Today, one should avoid it like the plague.

Interesting! What WiFi would you recommend? I have had a pretty good experience so far

b1t5murf.bsky.social•10 days ago

For ProSumer/SMB: GrandStream GWN APs and switches.
They're much more flexible in the way you manage the devices.

Ubnts quality, especially on the software side of things has gone down significantly; Faulty firmwares, poorly designed controller with constant half baked features etc etc.

The TensorFlow YAMnet audio classification model runs on a RPi Zero 2W or RPi4 with RPiOS, or X86_64 with Ubuntu and continuously classifies 521 distinct audio sounds in less than one second.

The https://AudioClassify.com embedded Linux product supports high quality I2S mics or browser accessible mics.

That's wild!

The TensorFlow YAMnet model is from Google open source (see link below).

All the surrounding application code is my custom C, C++, NodeJS, and JavsScript.

The RPi family is very useful for real world applications, including many analytic AI functions.

any fallback if home internet is out?

rodydavis.com•10 days ago

Cloudflare has an awesome “always on” mode!

ah nice!! honestly that question was the main reason I haven’t bothered trying to host from home. though if I go through the trouble to do it I am somewhat itching to try to do it without any cloudflare gadgets other than the DNS.

rodydavis.com•10 days ago

True! Although I would only turn it on if I was moving it I knew there would be significant down time.

Pretty cool to be able to interact with the hardware side of software development 😎

What’s the blue stick?

marcketel.bsky.social•11 days ago

I guess an RTL-SDR stick.

rodydavis.com•11 days ago

It is for home assistant! It is an antenna for radio based temperature sensors!

peterfriese.dev•11 days ago

Soo… what happens when you decide to move places?

rodydavis.com•11 days ago

Just have to change the Public IP in CloudFlare and Unify (Dynamic DNS will continue to update)!

hdjw.bsky.social•11 days ago

Cloudflare tunnels are pretty interesting too. Dis you explore those before landing on the current setup. No need for dynamic dns or port forwarding on the router.

I have ATT and tried that a few years ago. My connection broke when I port forwarded port 443. Then I tried again with getting a block of /29 IPs and that particular setup broke all our DVRs. I see you have https, did you do anything special to get that working?

rodydavis.com•11 days ago

I was able to forward the HTTPS port no problem, but I use CloudFlare with a proxy in Full mode to take care of the certificates!

Love to see this! My site is hosted locally as well. Using an old PC with Linux Mint and Ngnix.

Thanks! That is awesome 👏
