New #Noctua fans installed in the #pfSense router, finally. They were too tall so I couldn't screw them in place, and I had to cram the lid shut, but they seem to work (time will tell if the lid is pressing on the actual spinning fan I guess 😬), and they're so silent I thought the thing didn't start when I powered it back on.

🦾 Why I use OPNsense over pfSense, and why I don't trust Netgate at all • Adam Conway

「 From domain disputes, licensing changes, security issues, and more, there's a lot that simply doesn't sit right with me. That's not to say that OPNsense is perfect, but the company's negatively perceived actions have not been anywhere near as controversial 」

@chris forum.netgate.com/topic/187943 mentions atxfiles.netgate.com/mirror/do but that seems to only have 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2. (I suppose you could get 2.7.2 and upgrade to 2.8.0.) I also found mirror.transip.net/pfsense/dow which has a handful of different 2.1.x through 2.6.x versions. Neither provides 2.8.0 directly though.

Netgate put downloads behind their shop fairly recently, it seems. Bugged me enough that I'm looking at options.

Something strange with my #Unifi gear...

Recently replaced my UDM Pro with a CloudKey Gen2 Plus (because I don't need the gateway function as my #Netgate #pfSense is taking care of this).

According to the screenshot, my WiFi APs are offline as well as the Protect cameras.
But: both are working.

Maybe that's because of the "management" VLAN 31 instead of default VLAN 1?
