I would be ironic if it were from a site that you can  set to blocked.

If you decide it really does need a reboot, you could schedule it for a time period where no one is using the system, use a cron job from system --> settings --> cron and it is one of the preconfigured choices you can select. Turn it on when needed, off when not needed. Mine generally only gets turned on when I have a job to apply updates, in this case about an hour later than the updates to make sure everything is ready for the next working day.

OK, drives are cheap in the sizes we need, so not really something I'm going to worry about. And if you have a mirror boot drive, then you should be able to swap in another drive without having to load the system from bare. That said, loading from a fresh USB might not be a bad idea once in a while, the config file holds most of what is needed for this so normally not a huge issue.

Back to the mirrored boot drive... Can we add a third new disk to the mirror, then remove one of the other disks, add new disk again, then finally remove the last old disk? Truenas apparently can do this, as long as the drives are of identical size. I'd suggest having spares on the shelf for this, but again, small drives are cheap.

We may be witnessing a Broadcom moment! (vmware).

Or an IBM moment (CentOS).

Or an Oracle moment (Open Solaris).

But all of those are big, they can float through angry people dropping their licenses...

Just another example, Deciso made the OPNsense Business level cheap by comparison, their hardware competes with similar enterprise level hardware (at least what I'm looking at). And yet they still have the free open source version with really no crippling to the features like other "freeware". It might be worth making ZA cheaper to see if sales volume increases and surpasses current levels.

In the end, make your choices, my fourth example seems to be working and no body complaining. But if you decide to be like the other three, grab it and own it and be prepared for the backlash. Broadcom is taking a beating right now by all the people that used to buy a yearly license (myself included), now it's all locked up and a mess. They've lost a lot of young talent who will not be willing to use the product when they get big jobs, the old talent retires and no one is left to handle some of these massive systems. And when most companies figure out how to move away, they are gone for good (the Broadcom "squeeze all you can from it, and dump it" plan).

I looked at the roadmap too, hoping this is an oversight.

But the silence kind of tells the story, they are usually very quick to reply to these posts. That said, I don't see any posts newer than April 18.

I have a few Mikrotik devices, just switches though, pretty good stuff and cheaper than a lot of other products. I have a small 10gbe switch in my production system, and an even larger 10gbe switch in my lab. I do think the larger switch might be slightly faster, but it also might be a difference in software loaded, something I need to update for the small switch. CRS309-1g-8s+ and CRS326-24s+2q+ are the two that I use.

Never used their wireless yet, but I may go through and do an upgrade at home, would be nice to have better signal in the back yard, so an external unit might be nice.

Since the feature isn't out yet, can we be certain this is going to be a paid feature?

Seems like a lot of work to create two different versions of the software to split the feature. Not trying to defend them, but this just doesn't seem logical unless they are going to turn off the free version.

Mine is set to "default" and still working. This reminds that I need to sit and do some work on my filters and same for Crowdsec.

This was my first major upgrade, so I should have expected this. I'll probably keep things at default to make sure big things don't happen on their own and make a mess. That said, I am ZFS (mirror) and do create snapshots, so I'm kind of covered if something goes horribly wrong.

Thanks, I was wondering if that was the case.

I just noticed, if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of any page, the Simple Machines forum software does not show the correct year for the copyright. Is this the SMF software copyright or copyright to the data on the forums?

Other products that I've used dynamically update this to be current year. And in the end, it doesn't really matter because AI doesn't abide by those terms (look at the Facebook book theft case where they were torrenting books to feed into AI).

What AV did you run, and how did you run it? Is it a bootable device that has XYZ AV available? Asking because it's kind of important and something that would be nice to know about. Would also be nice to know how the virus got there, but that's elusive by nature.

Last night I had CRON set to perform the 24.10.2_8 to 25.4.x update and it didn't go, the reboot I had set for an hour later did happen so I know cron was doing it's job.

Does the 25.4 upgrade require manual intervention? I think I'll have time later today, but was hoping it would be done when I walked into work this morning.

if it matters, I generally only turn on the firmware and reboot task when I need them to run, and turn them back off the next day. I did manually run the check for updates tool yesterday to make sure I was seeing the 25.4 version listed.

Are you using the system nameservers in Unbound? I found that I had to override manual settings and allow the DHCP assigned names servers and then things worked, might be worth a try.

Click on the picture below to make it big enough to read, I can't remember how to put the image inline.

That will be very nice on lower powered processors that often have a lower clock rate!
