People actually buy these things for home use?

Anyone have a use for Fortinet firewall (FortiGate FG-60E)? A friend won one at a raffle at work and has no fucking idea what to do with it haha

It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you want a kickass network with awesome wifi everywhere you need it 100% if the time it blows any consumer stuff out of the water. Their video surveillance system is top notch for what it costs too.

I know the price is eye-watering but it's not that outrageous if you piece together all the hardware that it consolidates.
Features are overkill for most home users though.

Actually I thought the price was a steal for what it offers. I was more surprised that people purchase rack mounted hardware for home use (assuming that's what Buster is using it for).

I think I heard him mention he loves racks. Checks out.

You would be surprised at the number of homes with a server rack in the basement these days. Any kind of pro automation system or distributed audio usually lives in a rack anyway so what’s a few extra slots to handle your networking. Pretty easy to fill up a 16+ port switch if you have Ethernet runs through the house.

I have an Edgerouter 8 at home. Kijiji deal, close to home, couldn't pass it up.

[benyl]

dang, didn't even know these existed. I will add this to the other stock pages I check daily (Lysol wipes, lol).

Although, in reality, my USG and gen 1 cloud key are fine. I have been looking at https://ca.store.ui.com/collections/...cts/usw-16-poe to get rid of the POE adapter rats nest.

Yeah it's for home use. It's useful for the security features - has the power to do dpi on a 1gig fibre internet connection. I'm also going to upgrade my camera to unifi protect. I can get rid of my cloudkey 1 as well.

I'm also getting one of these, but of course no stock.

The UDM-Pro was in stock for less than a day. Shipping was fast though.

Not sure if it's a good deal or not, but MemEx has the G3 Unifi cams on for $99.99 today. NW only though.

+ a sander, planer, dust collector, and a fuckton of 3/4" plywood.

Hoping to revamp my shop into a legit wood working space during this forced down time to stay busy and make a few bucks making signs for white women (only partially kidding). The wife already sews baby things and makes stuff on her cricut anyways so figured we would join forces and double down on it all and if we can find a way to support our hobbies all the better.

Who knows when it will get here though as it had to ship out of the states and 4 picture frames from Ikea in Calgary just took a month to get here.

Just finished the paperwork on this! Pick it up Thursday after the dealer does 3M and under coating

Got a couple lockers and a worktop set that were on sale at Costco. They also came with a display shelf that attaches to the top of the lockers, not sure if I’ll put them on or not yet.

[Ekliptix]

^how do you find garage storage on sale at Costco? I'm logged on, and I can't see any similar items on sale.

[killramos]

Costco.ca =/= Costco Warehouse

Costco is always putting different sets of newage stuff on sale. Usually gets posted in this thread: https://forums.beyond.ca/threads/398...ge-Improvments

As for my latest purchase:

yup, not a typo. it's an arabic sound that doesn't have an equivalent letter so they use numbers to represent it.

and good move on the central a/c. Got mine last year and don't regret it at all. Already used it at least 3 or 4 nights so far this spring.

if I save all the money i was supposed to pay for daycamps this summer, maybe I can afford a new (and much quieter) AC unit. Hmmm, now ya got me thinking.
