I don't even have gigabit and if I try to download a game from Steam, it seems to eventually catch up to the disk and has to pause while the data is being written to disk. This is to an SSD.

If I was the only person in the house I wouldn't pay for gigabit, I'd just go for a couple hundred and that would be heaps. 100 would likely be plenty for most people too. But if you do a lot of downloading I probably wouldn't want less than that if I had the choice.

Yeah I've never seen it either. However, I was curious if it was because instances were blocking it (as in fedipact).

Checking out Lemmy.world, I noticed threads is actually listed as a linked server. So at some point, lemmy.world has traded content with threads.net.

Though I can't actually find the content. And there don't seem to be any threads.net users (except a couple who wrote it in their display name as some sort of joke), so perhaps there are some threads users who are following lemmy communities but haven't commented (or aren't able to)?

How does Threads federation work compared to Mastodon? Do they have an allow list?

Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities so I'm curious if Threads can already federate with Lemmy.

Oh wow, that's quite... something.

Given how targeted the attacks were at certain people, does this imply a bunch of people walking around with explosives in their pagers, where they weren't set off because they weren't one of the targets?

I don't think anyone has been active in it for a while 😆. Would be a good place for it though as there are still lots of eyes on the room even if no one is chatting.

Queries, I do have some, but they’re ugly AF. lol. I should prob look into starting a Matrix room or admin community where we can share and improve each others’ utility scripts.

That's pretty much the official Lemmy space's Moderation tools room, right?

Thanks, yeah I will consider the options. Would be nice to have it in one as the raspberry pi is aging (it's an original model B) and the gateway should be plenty powerful enough to run it, plus it would rule out the pi-hole to router connection as a possible reason for the unstable network.

I had been considering the Dream Machine Special Edition, though the website lists it as $500 but it's gonna cost more like $750USD if I get it locally 😅. At least it's available locally though, unlike some of the others listed in this thread which are gonna be hard to get.

Well I was hoping to spend the same amount and get one that does everything I wanted 😆. I'm happy with separating things if it make sense, but I have two power points and already have too many devices in that spot (fiber connection modem + ISP router + two raspberry pi's (one for pi-hole, one for home assistant) + a switch + RF sensor for detecting doorbell + more I'm probably forgetting). Some of these are powered from USB ports on other ones. Being able to replace the ISP router with a gateway that's also a switch that also handles the pi-hole would mean three of those devices become one, and it seems feasible!

Thanks! I'll put it on my list 🙂

Thanks for all the info and the detailed response!

But it sounds like you only need it to be a wired router, which is good.

Correct, don't need wifi.

PoE ports as a requirement is what narrows your options considerably I think

I'm happy with doing this through a separate switch, but I'm happier if I can have less things to plug in. It's not a must have though.

Mikrotik has a lot of routers with PoE out. Their newest model in the RB5009 series can do either passive or 802.3af/at PoE out. Many of their older routers have passive PoE only. Make sure you know what your cameras need.

I don't have cameras yet, but I'm considering some Reolink ones. Happy to take suggestions. Am I likely to find a lot of difference in the PoE type or are most things compatible with each other?
