Your Pi runs all that?! I’ve setup Homeassistant on a Tinkerboard and it’s slow as shit with nothing else running. :(

Holy shit!! I didn’t know I needed this. I’m so building some - thank you! 👍
I kept buying Pi Zero Ws, hats and phats then put them all in a drawer cos I couldn’t decide what to do with them. I think I’ve got about 7 or 8. I really should do something with them.
Will it tell you how to make meth?

My god man! Do you have no sense of adventure!! I installed openWRT for the fun of it!
complex VLANs with priority flow control and GRE tunnels
Now you’re highlighting one of my issues. I’m a programmer so have only a sparse knowledge of networking from 20yrs ago when I was at uni and learnt the OSI stack. I realised after installing OpenWRT on my router I really don’t know anything about networking!!
Which leads me to say - maybe I should learn more networking and learn to use this first router well before I decide to start converting everything!
So I posit to you: what sort of feature would you want to see in your switch that’s not there today?
As I said above I probably don’t know enough to give a decent answer but my main issue is that my Unifi switch needs a separate controller software running on a Pi or similar to configure it. I wanted to have a self-contained programmable (managed?) switch. For example there’s a feature where you can open one of the ports to forward all packets the switch is handling (so acting like a hub) which I’m guessing would make it useful for an IDS monitoring solution to be attached. But that can only be done with this messy separate software.
I think first order of business is to get comfortable with my current router and read every page of the docs. Then I’ll see what else I could want from there.
If you have any suggestions on learning more about home networking (like the stuff you mentioned) let me know! I saved someones network architecture diagram on Reddit cos it looked amazing and some of the stuff they could do and managed looked great but I understood about 40% of it!!

I used to love Ubiquiti but they’re turning into cunts these days. I also heard there’s been a lot of people leave and low morale due to the enshitification of the products.
I’ve since put OpenWRT onto my ERX and ER4. Will likely put it on the UAP-LC next to get rid of it entirely.
