  1. I might be a bit of a Ubiquiti fanboy. Their gear usually #JustWorks, so when they started selling NAS boxes I assumed I needed one in my life. (I mean, I really didn't.  I have gobs of actual servers for file storage.)

    TL;DR: I didn't. And I actively dislike it.  Like a lot.

    The UNAS-2 is extremely limited. I knew that going in. It's a file box and little else: no Docker, no app ecosystem, none of the flexibility you'd get from a Synology. Fine. What I didn't sign up for:

    → The iPhone backup is flaky and just… stopped, throwing "UniFi Endpoint and UNAS Not on the Same Network." They are, provably, on the same network.  Nothing changed.
    → To reach it from my phone I have to use the UniFi Endpoint app. The one that also wants to babysit my door cameras?!
    → Time Machine backups are technically possible, after a fight.  I haven't won that fight.  I gave up.
    → And I swear the thing bumps itself off the network on the regular.

    Sigh. At least it has a cute screen.

  2. went slightly overboard and bought the #UNAS Pro 8 🤩 setting it up at home and copying the initial batch of data before it gets moved off-site #unifi #ubiquiti

  3. Today's #selfhost project was updating #homarr with integrations instead of just apps. Got #Unifi, #Proxmox, #HomeAssistant, and #PiHole done. Couldn't get #Nextcloud to work, though.
