It would be for anyone. You're not wrong.
The system is unix-like so it has a date function. If you type "date" without the quotes, it'll present the human-readable date and time.
You could write some script to append it or something like that.
Let me see if I can find the previous conversation on this forum about it.
p.s. the download will also have a human timestamp of the downloaded file on the receiving system, which could also be useful.

There is a piece of text on the Deciso / OPNsense website: https://docs.opnsense.org/hardware/bios.html#hyper-threading

Well, resetting BIOS to Default and then changing SMT control from Disabled to Enabled made OPNsense to show all cores and threads.

AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C18 8-Core Processor (8 cores, 16 threads)

Now I'm thinking what was the reason for brand new DEC3940 purchased directly from Deciso to have such a configuration on first place? Is there something wrong with this particular device? Is it refurbished, but sold as new? Can I trust it security and hardware wise etc.

It's high, but not unusual - most SSD controllers have limits in the 75-85C range. They draw 2-20W, with M.2 devices generally limited to 6-8W. Most NVME devices will be right up at that limit. They have (generally) very effective thermal throttling, which you appear to be seeing. Yours could just be a hot runner (which would arguably be a hardware fault). Out of curiosity, what's the ambient temperature?

I'm not defending use of M.2 SSDs with no/minimal thermal management, by the way.

Ambient temperature is around 25–30°C. The SSD is a Transcend MTE710T 256GB NVMe (TS256GMTE710T). It is installed inside a rack.

The drive has reached over 90°C before, which is why I was looking into the thermal behavior. Current SMART data shows 54°C composite temperature and 65°C on sensor 1.

hi there,

for me sorting files descending with unix epoch in filename somtimes differs from sorting by change date. (i have to sort by change date rather than by filename to get correct result).

What am i doing wrong?

hi there,

Our users are currently doing password-changes for their VPN-account in OPNsense via GUI and being member of a group with privilege "Lobby: Password" only. This works as expected.

Is there any way, privilege or other solution, that this users can view their OTP-seed after logging in?

thank you

Hi there,

sftp-backup not working through Wireguard was a false positive. when correct and without typos configured, it works with Wireguard ;-)

Via OpenVPN it still does not work. Because of OpenVPN on OPNSense being a pita anyway, i can live with that.

I just purchased DEC3940 and it shows weird values about processor: AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C18 8-Core Processor (4 cores, 8 threads)

V3C18 should have 8-cores and that's what Deciso also says in their tech specs about this model. Does anyone have similar model and what it says about CPU?

I have a DEC750, too, same brand and model of SSD. Since the unit is passively cooled and there is not much convection in the cupboard in my study where I keep my network infrastructure, I placed one of these on top of the firewall:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08QYY87XW (the "80mm-1" style)

Really quiet, the rubber feet keep it in place nicely, powered from the DEC750's own USB port. Blowing upward so (I hope) air is getting sucked in and over the upper part of the case from the sides.

Interestingly, I didn't see new unbound error messages since the forwarder modification.
Perhaps that's the culprit, since my forwarder was also set as gateway monitor IP for one of my WAN links, it had a static route configured.
This could create problems when WAN link is down, and perhaps generate too much connections from both dpinger and unbound.
