I had to upgrade my EdgeRouterX when I got gig fiber. I kept the Ubiquiti APs, I really like their management interface. But I replaced the router with a Mikrotik RB4011iGS+ because I thought it had a better feature set than the equivalent UBNT and was half the price.

also does a good job of breaking down the column types.

International Residential Code R407.3 is pretty clear about the post needing to be Schedule 40, 3” in diameter. IMO, this is not code-compliant.
“The columns shall be restrained to prevent lateral displacement at the bottom end and attached to framing at the top. Wood columns shall be not less in nominal size than 4 inches by 4 inches (102 mm by 102 mm). Steel columns shall be not less than 3 inch diameter (76 mm) Schedule 40 pipe manufactured in accordance with ASTM A53 Grade B or approved equivalent.”
The column is clearly not 3” diameter, nor schedule 40. The number of missing bolts in the bottom would fail the lateral movement restriction. The IRC is almost certainly referenced by your local building code. For example, in NY it’s at https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/NYSRC2020P1 , and for Washington
https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/WARC2021P1 . You should be able to find the referenced code for your state.502.5 mentions span tables you can use to determine if the spans are compliant. I’d wager they aren’t, given the shoddy work.
Those span tables are in 602.7(1) AND 602.7(2).
I can’t remember the IRC code that says all holes must be filled, and it’s already past my bedtime. I’ll do some more searching tomorrow.

Splitting the 2x8 by not drilling a pilot hole and failure to fill all four holes in the top of the jack would likely be an instant failure by the building inspectors here.
- Comment on What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups? 1 month ago:
I started with your tier 3 and moved down to tier 2 because of power costs. I work for an MSP, so I have essentially infinite free last gen hardware from the ecycling pile, but the power consumption was too high. I’m in the process of moving from a Dell 720 rackmount to an HP EliteDesk 800 G5-SFF with 32 gigs of RAM that I put a pair of 4TB drives into, plus the 1TB on-baord NVME. Once I finish this migration I should save on the order of 250 watts, or 6 kWh per day, for a savings of about $40/mo in electricity. It’s worth taking your electric rate into account when you size your hardware, and figure out how long your ROI is for that decision.
For storage, I have a 16-bay rackmount server chassis for my NAS with 8TB drives (see MSP comment above) so I don’t have a good suggestion for consumer-grade hardware there. I know 16 spinning drives are pricey power-wise, but I just can’t give up 100+ TB. I’m pondering adding another DAS shelf to grow the array even further, though that will eat a bunch of the power savings moving off of the 720. For the time being, the inertia of not ordering a PowerVault enclosure is saving me money,

From an earlier post I made much like yours, I decided to go with incus. I’d be fully migrated if real life hadn’t kicked me in the taint for a few weeks.
