As you probably heard, a massive global outage affected many Windows machines last Friday. I know it’s not too related to self-hosting, but I get a feeling that most people in this community would like to keep an eye on things like this.

The outage was caused by software from CrowdStrike. And to get more info on what exactly happened, we curated a list of videos with explanations from different YouTubers we like:

klivan — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 15:16:50 +0000

UniFi just started selling its new Cloud Gateway Max, an awesome device that can help you move your Homelab to the next level.

Gateway features a 2.5 GbE WAN port and 4 2.5 GbE LAN ports, one of which is also remappable to WAN so that you can configure your internet with failover and/or load balancing. According to Ubiquiti, it’s also capable of 1.5 Gbps IDS and IPS throughput and has an onboard NVMe SSD for UniFi Protect.

You can configure your device to have a range of Site-To-Site VPNs; it can serve as a VPN server and client with a Policy-based WAN and VPN routing.

We’ll try to write a review when we get our hands on this device, but for now you can check out video reviews from some well-known YouTubers:
