I noticed this as well and with the plethora of configurations available, Iām stuck sitting reading most of them like āwell, how do you have your network setup? How is your VM server setup? VLANs?ā But then that can spiral out of control quickly and become a āhelp me un-f*ck my network please because I watched a YT videoā thread.
Thereās just so many things that can throw simple routing out of whack.
I guess Iām stuck deciding if / how I want to tackle them. I agree, I donāt want to be fixing their network or their VM config.
Exactly. And trying to convince someone that running 10 VLANs on a simple ASUS router with custom firmware flashed on it (true story from a few weeks ago)ā¦ yeah, no. Iām not doing that. lol
I have never been able to deal with VMās, I do my network splits using subnets and network masks.
I started out using VMs with HA and avoid those questions like the plague. I donāt think itās a bad idea for the Cookbook.
Unless the person on the other side knows or is capable to quickly learn what heās doing, itās generally a rabbit hole to offer detailed help on networking or virtualization troubles.
VLANās are not a supported configuration.
I saw Frenck say that to someone not too long ago, so I would not try to show people how.
I could show people how I do it with subnets to separate and isolate, but unless you really understand subnet masks and CIDR Address notation, I wouldnāt recommend people doing it.
Itās still listed as a valid install method on the main site under Expert, but I am convinced folks ignore the Expert tag 
Hang on, said that wrongā¦ I didnāt mean VM.
I edited it, meant VLANās.
That makes more senseā¦lol
Too many people being scared by youtube videos about being hacked by iot devices. But if you donāt know what you are doing, stay away from VLANās.
Itās ALIVEā¦maybe
Yeah, noticed yesterday. thread will probably be filled with Ā«works in x countryĀ» pretty soon.
HA on a virtual machine is great btw, 10/10 would recommend. Ethernet Zigbee coordinator and snapshot based backups (I use Veeam) makes you quite resilient 
Wait, what? This is the first time I heard about reversing fans. What difference does it make? Does it blow warm air if you reverse it? 
Winter: blow hotter air from higher up to lower down in the room. Assuming there is actually warmer air up there.
Summer: cause a breeze by drawing air up - displacing the hot air up high and probably circulating it down low.
Iām not a fan (pun) of this method of heating/cooling.
That actually works? I live in a country where itās hot 9 months of the year.
All our fans blow air - I had never heard of a fan being reversed to suck air. TIL.
I swear I had never heard of this. Might be an America-only thing, but Iām not sure.
Itās a huge difference! Iām in the Southern US so its also hot here about 9 months out of the year.
I use it to keep a more constant room temp. I use ModernForm fans, but most US fans have a reversible switch on the fan housing.
