Stefano Marinelli<p>Ever since I hung the Ruckus on the wall, all peripheral coverage issues disappeared.

@mikrotik when can we expect @meshtastic support?
I need Mikrotik reliability with meshtastic functionality! #meshtastic #mikrotik

Do you really need the missing serial console for remote out-of-band managemnt, like most of their devices?
Well, I had one and then returned it for that reason. I've been considering it again, but not without the serial connection... so a little digging around and I found some PCB images and quick info on the OpenWRT site.
Then decided to add those bits to a fork for personal tracking... for those interested in the PCB photos and quick-doc:

Clearly still a WIP, and would need to re-purchase the device to test it out... so perhaps in the next few months that will happen.
Some light discussion: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/add-support-for-mikrotik-rb5009ug/104391/3
Tonight I had to reboot the switch again. Performance had dropped to ridiculous levels - at most 100 Mbit/sec on all devices, but actually even less. It’s not the first time this has happened with this device, and it’s strange because MikroTik switches are usually reliable, even with very long uptimes. I’ll try to figure it out, but the logs don’t show anything unusual
Hey #networking #mikrotik specialists!
I'm thinking of checking out exposing my local services to the Web using https://github.com/fatedier/frp
Let's say I want to expose a HTTP server running on a Pi. I would put that Pi on a different VLAN for security. Can I setup my local communication in a way that I could SSH into that Pi from my laptop in another VLAN, but that Pi would not be able to connect in any way to other machines in my local network?
What is the industry standard way to handle this?

#Networking nerds: stop using and recommending american #Ubiquiti gear. Use #Mikrotik (from Latvia) and support a country that provides significant aid to Ukraine

Ok, if anyone can solve my little #selfhosting power problem, it's the people connected to me on Mastodon. Feel free to boost.
I just turned off a #Juniper switch that was pulling like 200W and replaced it with a #Mikrotik switch that pulls 20W. The Juniper had one benefit that the Mikrotik lacks, and that's dual power supply. Mikrotiks just have one 24V 1.5A DC in.
If I want to buy 2 power supplies and connect them to my 2 UPSes and achieve some measure of redundancy, is it possible? What's the name of the device and is it expensive? I've drawn a picture to help.
If this is like past tech questions I've asked on Mastodon, I'm gonna get 10 Alibaba links to a "bivalent multivolt snargleprong" or some shit I've never heard of, and everyone else has like 3 in their top desk drawer.
In today's #fuckshit with #mikrotik. Hardware is kinda Fire.. The way you guys do shit is weird! At the very least this shit is not for rest of us. VyOS software router didn't take this much brain power to get going. I finally got my network moved over to it. I needed to add bridge, vlans, vlan interfaces, trunk ports in bridges, add interfaces and vlan interfaces to bridges, add interfaces to interfaces lists to allow firewalls shit, add address pools, then dhcp servers, and then add networks ( which are not vlans). I still have not set up PBR. And before you come at me with this, "do you even network bro bullshit"!! NO! I don't.. I'm not sure this fucking thing networks without you getting drugged in in a foreign country for your kidneys!!
Now don't get me wrong( or get me all the way wrong)!!! The software is a POS 
It's powerful, I'm sure! You just need to kill a baby unicorn goat! Then it fucks with ya!
I’ve got a server hanging off a nic on my microtik router, and I want to put it in a DMZ.
My instinct is to put it on its own VLAN and then write firewall rules based on that VLAN.
Is there an easier way to do that? #mikrotik

And now for something lighter:
Trying out a minimal setup that serves most of my requirements for #SelfHosting
From left to right:
1) WD Red Plus 4TB drive
2) Raspberry Pi 4 4GB, running openmediavault
3) MikroTik L009 router
4) Raspberry Pi 4 8GB running docker containers
5) Raspberry Pi 4 2GB running Pi-hole and caddy
Not shown: another 4TB drive for external backup (the 1 in 3-2-1).
Power consumption 105W, plus 24W more when running external backup.
