  • I own several models from GL, including the original Flint. Their settings UI is nice and very easy to use, and if you want to dive into the system properly you can install Luci and go wild. I have noticed that their auto update system is… Unreliable. Just make sure to check for updates like every 6 months manually, to be sure. They also did a huge overhaul of their firmware a couple of years ago, and for some models, you needed to update through the recovery system, as I recall. Not a huge thing but it was a stark contrast from the otherwise user-friendly experience.

    I switched the Flint for a Synology unit, more features, better equipped, and I already have a nas by them so I am familiar and like the interface. But I am trying to help a friend switch ISPs and on the list of 'to-do’s is buying a Flint 2 or 3, after a disappointing experience with the provided hardware of their current ISP.

    It’s a solid option, basically.


  • I run basically all my stuff through docker containers, and have…

    NAS:

    • BentoPDF
    • Clam-Shell (discord bot using clamav)
    • FreshRSS
    • Haven (discord alternative)
    • Kitchen Owl
    • Linkwarden
    • LubeLogger
    • MeshCentral (for me to admin systems)
    • Nametag (relationship organizer and visual map)
    • Owncast (streaming, for myself)
    • Plex
    • Radicale
    • Red (discord multifunction bot)
    • RustDesk
    • Snipe-IT
    • Uptime Kuma
    • Vaultwarden
    • Wallos (subscription manager)
    • YourLastFM (for myself)

    ThinkServer - Proxmox:

    • Debian 13, running BOINC
    • Home Assistant
    • Windows Server 2022, running Motor Town dedi

    VPS:

    • American Truck Simulator dedi
    • BeamMP dedi x7
    • Duplicati (for backups)
    • FiveM dedi
    • Minecraft Bedrock dedi
    • Wireguard

    I have stuff offline like a Satisfactory dedi, and the docker container for Euro Truck Simulator is broken for whatever reason… and stuff that is running for admin purposes that I won’t list since security and all that (and a couple ‘bare metal’ services too). My users are family, close friends, and members of my discord/haven gaming community that I have brought in over the last few years.
