Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Thursday, 01-Feb-2024 04:12:13 JST Quad truenas really sucks at handling a basic SMB server as a fallback for clients that don't support NFS/SFTP.
I finally gave in and just made a container which handles it instead. should've done so ages ago. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Thursday, 01-Feb-2024 04:11:58 JST Quad No matter what I tried, setting up a basic read-only SMB server on a share with NFS already set up leads to extremely shit file list and open times. Seeks on already open files seem okay though.
No idea what causes it. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Thursday, 01-Feb-2024 04:11:48 JST Quad just mounting the NFS share in a container, then re-sharing it with SMB works leagues better.
Straight up like 10x the performance. somehow. -

Times sure have changed -

for real tho, when buying stuff in an enterprise setting you usually end up having to memorize all the product numbers, or rather the system of how they work -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 07:28:00 JST Quad @wolf480pl It's a tri-band mesh antenna. It has two ethernet ports. I'm pretty sure the "5G-5HP" is supposed to somehow signify that it has two 5Ghz radios. One regular and one higher performance for mesh backhaul. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 07:27:58 JST Quad @wolf480pl this is why the 5GHz section contains both D and Q as well. They probably thought 5HacD5HPacQ was too much so they attempted to somehow merge them.
Dunno, Mikrotik model numbers are confusing -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 07:27:56 JST Quad @wolf480pl their model names are confusing as heck anyways. Theres no way to tell where the board name stops and port number starts. They seem to just break or change the rules when they feel like it.
For example the RB4011 is an RB4 or RB4000 i presume, with 11 ports. And the RB5009 is one level higher and it has 9 ports.
But the RB1100 sure as heck doesn't have 100 ports. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 03:26:41 JST Quad @feld @ignaloidas @lanodan I know it's not unusual. That's the exact part I find so bonkers about this. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 03:17:53 JST Quad @lanodan @ignaloidas Oh no, it's a router.
It has an ARM SoC and runs the same RouterOS as the rest of their lineup. It can be put in passthrough mode but first and foremost it's an ARM router that just happens to pull power from a PCIe slot.
I don't know what Mikrotik are smoking when they come up with their product ideas, but I want some of it. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 03:16:56 JST Quad @ignaloidas @lanodan It's honestly bonkers that datacenters are putting entire mini-servers in their NICs these days to do stuff like dynamic routing and tunneling. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 03:02:59 JST Quad @lanodan @ignaloidas yeah it's pretty rough.
it works okay for routers and switches though, where the configurations aren't so extreme.
i think mikrotik realized this, so they've started giving the products with extreme model numbers "friendly" names as well. (which typically means products with WiFi or mobile radios)
The model number I posted earlier belongs to the "Chateau 5G ax" -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 02:58:48 JST Quad @lanodan @ignaloidas have fun trying to parse this one.
i'll give you one hint, "G+" means 2.5 Gbit. -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 02:53:23 JST Quad @lanodan @ignaloidas That is basically what Mikrotik does yes. Although they usually shorten stuff down to be only one or two characters. They also do not use +, they only throw it into a soup, using CamelCase if anything to separate it. So the desktop I'm posting from (Gigabyte B350, Ryzen 1600, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, RX 6600 GPU, built in a desktop case) would probably become something like this:
GB350Ry1600R16Ss512Gd6600-IN -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 02:47:06 JST Quad i think there's a reason mikrotik started giving their products "friendly" names instead of continuing to use their model numbers. because they only keep getting more and more ridiculous -

Quad (quad@akko.quad.moe)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 02:47:04 JST Quad honestly everything should just use their full spec sheet as their model number. i shall hereby be known as "NOHu-2A2LiP-191c26y", short for "norwegian human with two arms, two legs, integrated penis, 191cm height and 26 years of age" -
