I got this because it’s almost fully enclosed. Most of the noise comes from an open rear door which this doesn’t have, and an open front door which this sort of has. It’s not very loud when the hvac is set to a reasonable level, even though it’s pulling air through 4 fans on the top.

I have additional sound deadening material if I need to apply it but I’m not there yet.

I’m eyeing 3-5 more 1U servers though so maybe I’ll need to do it.

Business in front…

Unpowered free 48 port switches are cheaper than block off plates.

Can’t hear either over my tinnitus

Like, a calendar app?

If I need to buy something off the shelf I’m looking at unifi.

Sounds like you’re missing an on-site copy on different storage and an offsite copy.

Nope, bad idea.

It’s carrier level. Your isp could do the same with off the shelf decryption appliances. Basically you decrypt the traffic and block traffic that isn’t decrypted.

It offers some other features like hybrid access to data,If my nas isn’t available I can access it from their cloud. There’s also some identity services.

Backup to 2nd nas.

Important stuff gets backed up to cloud storage. Whatever is cheapest.

In my case Synology c2 cloud was cheapest.

Servers are just expensive hardware. You can accomplish 95% with a consumer grade desktop without all the extra power/heat/noise and dependencies on specific hardware.

You should buy both. Don’t mess around with VIP UAT.

Seeed meshtastic tracker card. The general purpose version uses more battery than I’d like but you can get one that only does tracking or turn off most of features to get more than a few days of life.

It only works if you have some other meshtastic nodes around, but it doesn’t need to be a lot and it’s getting to be more popular.

Reolink might be another to consider.

OpenVAS is a vulnerability scanner that appears to be open source.

Metasploit is another that I think is free and might be open source.

True but it’s designed to be on networks that don’t have internet.

Tplink Omada doesn’t need a cloud connection. There’s plenty of other reasons to not like Omada but it’s something to consider. It’s also dirt cheap.

If any service has only username and password instead of mfa or password less then it’s not safe.

You also didn’t mention if you have automated patching or immutable backups enabled.
