    Is MU-MIMO just marketing hype?

    It's similar but not the same. Yes on a normal wireless connection you can get up to 3 spatial streams between the router and the client. But this requires at least 3 antenna chains on both ends to accomplish this. What a non MU-MIMO device cannot do is allow more than one client to communicate...

    802.1x wireless authentication - RADIUS (NPS) certificate confusion

    You are on the correct path. The whole point of using Public CAs is because they are preloaded on all devices to allow secure connections to be built between two parties who have no connection. By using a 3rd party broker you can facilitate the connection. This is what you are doing for just...

    Ryzen 2500u laptop as proxmox/pfsense box

    The part that most people don't catch is that this is going to be PFSense in a VM. Proxmox is going to be handling bare metal so it changes everything as far as device compatibility. So device compatibility in this case is what drivers are available for Debian Linux vs being compatible for FreeBSD.

    Looking to replace my ftp server software with something faster

    So the best I can tell you is that you're asking for a server. Windows 10 is a desktop OS, not a server OS. If you used a server OS a decent chunk of the legwork will be done for you. If all of the people accessing the content are read-only downloads and no uploads, then you're basically just...

    Ryzen 2500u laptop as proxmox/pfsense box

    Yea if you're going to be making a case anyway then I would say then the adapter chain does make sense. You definitely should fab an actual mount for the card so you don't cause the system to flip it's lid when you bump it. That's probably the part that will make this make sense versus having...

    Ryzen 2500u laptop as proxmox/pfsense box

    Yea which is what you'd need to make this work. $20 for the brick, $30 for the adapter, ~$40 for a dual port nic. So almost $100 just to get a system with dual port nics on it. If you could find a cheap used desktop and toss in another nic it would probably make more sense since it won't be a...

    Looking to replace my ftp server software with something faster

    SFTP on a linux box is generally working by default without even needing to install anything. :p The additional info I provided has more to do with doing it in a way that is actually secure versus just opening up your box directly to the internet. FTP isn't necessarily set and forget either if...

    Looking to replace my ftp server software with something faster

    Nope, you're probably using FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) not SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). The difference is the first one is traditional file transfer with TLS riding on top. The second is an SSH tunnel with FTP inside of it. From 5 seconds on Google Filezilla doesn't support...

    Looking to replace my ftp server software with something faster

    FTP is garbage anyway. Simply using SFTP on basically any linux box should give you about 200mbps (25MBps) without having to tweak anything. A guide for Ubuntu on how to grant SFTP to users without granting SSH...

    How many games have you refunded?

    2, Verdun and BeamNG Drive. Both games are praised by the people who play them, but I can't see why. Verdun could be a good game but it's ruined by the ranking system. No one really talks about the fact that when you start as a new player you're level 1, there is only one server you can play on...

    Ryzen 2500u laptop as proxmox/pfsense box

    After looking at it, I'm going to guess that no it probably won't power anything without the auxiliary power. https://pinoutguide.com/HD/M.2_NGFF_connector_pinout.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 Cobbling together those two sources, an A+E configuration has 4 x 3.3V pins for power...

    OnePlus 9

    One Plus doesn't need to do a ton of fancy software magic because they don't have mediocre sensors like the Pixel and iPhones do. I've never been impressed with an iPhone camera to date and probably never will. (I'm talking about going all the way back to an iPhone 4) Galaxy on the other hand...

    Ryzen 2500u laptop as proxmox/pfsense box

    Yea I could see using something like that if you were then going to toss a desktop card at the end. The only issue I'm seeing is that because it's a x1 slot you have almost no choices for dual port cards. The only ones I'm seeing are no name adapters so it might end up costing a bunch of money...

    What Mouse is in Your Laptop Bag?

    I've had a Logitech G5 in my bag for more than a decade, wired or bust!

    Why is 4g lte or 5g unreliable when streaming and moving in a train or car (as passenger)

    Streaming video can have vastly different requirements so it's a bit of a loaded statement. Video isn't constant either, you usually download a bunch to a buffer, it's plays for a bit, then you download a bunch again. Where you run into problems is that when the phone has to hand off to the next...
