An unmanaged 4 x 2.5G Ethernet + 2 x 10G SFP switch is about £25 on aliexpress. Managed and higher port ones are not a lot more.

Looking on my Windows 11 machine I can see IPv6, Temporary & Link-local Addressees are defined. If I browse to https://whatismyipaddress.com I see my IPv6 Address and not my Temporary IPv6 Address. I was expecting to see my IPv6 Temporary Address as I thought the temporary IPv6 was used for...

Yes, and has a friendly support forum.

Yes, loads of Drama Llamas over the change. It's more about trust and belief that netgate will make good decisions communicated to their customers (paying or otherwise). If they had offered the plus version lite for $129 it may have been accepted.

Statement from netgate https://www.netgate.com/blog/addressing-changes-to-pfsense-plus-homelab So glad I went down the OPNsense route. It may not be as polished as pfSense (some would argue) but I'm sure the rules of use will not change from under me without warning.

The Xeon E3-1230 has a tdp of 80W vs the E3-1265L V2 of 45W so I'm not sure how low the power consumption would be

Gen8, Server 2016 Essentials, xeon E3-1265L, 4 sata drives(2x4TB, 10TB, and 12TB) running about 50 watts

As a Northerner I see it as one of my five a day!

Oh yes Tudor Crisps. I remember them. Tomato Sauce flavour mmmm

My gut feeling was that they're not so great. The reusable ones need cleaning and the paper ones seem like a waste.

Has anyone tried the liners that are marketed? Is foil just as good?

Going to try the foil with my McCains Gastro Triple Cooked Chips tonight. Should save a bit of cleaning that is normally needed!

Does the foil add a lot to the cooking time?

Can't see why it shouldn't work. Meat or veggie burgers?

I've always avoided watching Schindlers List. I just thought it would be too upsetting. My other half would say I'm not normally a delicate flower but some things seem too much.

Probably reserving "their parking space" in front of their house to prevent any one else taking it.

Yes, did mean pins on cpu. I blame coffee deprivation :cry:
