OpenBSD Innovations
BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services.

Switches That You Actually Own
For switches? OpenWrt supports a few models toward the lower end, and SONiC support a bunch at the higher-end datacenter ToR market, but none of these options are SME production-ready like Linux servers or OPNsense firewalls.

Router for a 1.5Gbps connection
One option is Firewalla Gold Plus, or you could buy a mini PC like it and run pfSense/OPNsense yourself.
-
Looking for Recommendations
Another option is Firewalla, or buy a mini PC like it and run pfSense/OPNsense yourself. Two similar concepts, with the cost being either money or your DIY time. A lot of Firewalla users say that it's much easier for home use than pfSense/OPNsense, so you might find it worthwhile to spend a little more on it upfront and have to tinker less.

VPN for network filtering
If you want firewall, I think you can use https://www.pfsense.org/ or https://opnsense.org/ , maybe running on an old PC or a Raspberry Pi. Not sure.

Looking for Guidance and Advice
I've recently started using OPNsense. It's similar to pfSense, but seems to be considered a little more user-friendly.

Bi-Weekly /r/Technology Tech Support / General Discussion Thread. Have you a tech question or want to discuss tech?
For most router issues, I recommend people always put them in to dumb bridge mode and put a proper firewall like pfsense or opnsense as your gateway.

Learn from my newbie mistakes
First of all; understand what it is the software you want to use actually does. I know that Proxmox is a Hypervisor and can run multiple VMs (Virtual Machines) and LXCs (Linux Containers) which is great, but there are a lot of options for setting up these things. For example, I really liked the idea of having my router be a VM that ran OpnSense so that I can run multiple router-specific things on the same machine like PiHole and Wireguard. This means I can get away with using fewer individual boxes (physical computers or servers), I have flexibility if I want to run *other* types of VMs that act as services for my router and I can very easily allocate expand, reallocate and change the underlying hardware for each machine. Lots of tweaking.

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Seems to be C, not C++ to me. The C++ code is GUI wrappers to C++ GUI systems.

Ask HN: IP cameras that don't require an app or internet
I bought a couple Amcrests just a week ago, and they still operate identically to ones I purchased back in 2017. They have apparently re-branded Dahua's software, since the HTTP APIs are identical, and there are still lots of "Dauha" strings in the configs[0].
I think a lot of the problems with IP cams aren't with the cameras themselves, but the poor state of open-source media players. Getting mplayer, ffplay, or vlc to play nicely with any ipcam has been a Labor of Hercules. If you're using the versions in repos--which are usually quite stale--all bets are off. I've had much better luck using the latest installers, direct from the project websites. So far, VLC seems to work best for me[1].

can't retrieve videos from Canon PowerShot SD1000
You'll need a player like VLC to view your clips. YouTube is built on ffmpeg and will blindly accept your videos. If you want to edit your clips you might have to convert your videos to another format and codec, depending on your editing tools of choice.
