Spikes in down reports across multiple services/games. Big tech is so awful man.


Yet another salesman clown at the head of a multibillion dollar corporation.

MSFT reminds me of INTC.


yet another Google project heading to the graveyard in 4-5 years. If this AI bubble even lasts that long.


A fucking unhandled exception brought down a majority of the internet? Why do we continue to let these clowns run a large portion of the internet?

Big tech is a fucking joke.


20% sure seems to grow with every commenter piling on. It’s like an Internet game of telephone.


When it comes to the UN, if Israel doesn’t sign/agree to it. Usually USA follows.

“America first”, right? Load of horse shit.


Should put in feature request, I would happily upvote/support something like this on their community forum.


I'd expect it to go nowhere fast. UBNT being weird and inconsistent about IPv6 has been a thing since before I was using their official software... which was from like 2015 through 2018 or so.


I don’t know about it "just works." Still have to perform a monthly reboot of equipment otherwise performance kind of drops off.

Still 100X better than the competition though. My UDM has worked wonderfully with support for dual IPs and seamless failover


Yeah, my experience with the UAP-AC-LITE and -LR was that it would get wonky if not rebooted every month or so. That (combined with the realization that its software load is pretty much just OpenWRT with the serial numbers filed off) caused me to dump the official firmware and switch to OpenWRT.

I was quite a lot happier after the switch, as I didn't have to hassle with UniFi and my APs stopped needing roughly-monthly reboots.


Anybody go through the trouble of outfitting their entire home/condo with fiber? Probably overkill for residential but I am also thinking it might need to be shrouded in EMT conduit


I did a 10 gig backbone between my three switches, and it's awesome. I didn't bother placing conduit - just tacked up preterminated lengths using coax clips and ordered a spare in case one of them ever goes down. I also have Wi-Fi mesh routers on each switch, which provides low speed redundancy until I have time to replace a fiber. I considered doing conduit - mostly I didn't because I don't expect to be in this house for too many more years. I don't know that I would run fiber to many more places - I did place a jumper through the wall for my wife's desktop if we wanted that in the future. But most consumer devices still seem to have rj45s, so I wouldn't want to put down a media converter for each. If this were a new build I might consider placing fiber and only lighting it as needed.

This is the SFP DAS and fiber links in the current place:

workstation - switchUpStairs - switchMainFloor - switchBasement - nas

Edge devices are a mix between 100meg, 1gig, 2.5gig, so anything wired is limited mostly by its own nic or the ISP.


Sounds like a lot of work (unless you've got easy access... my last house had a basement with access to wall cavities, you could just shove cables up and reach in from a wall plate to grab it or shove down from the room).

I've got some 10g at my current house, but it's over cat5e cause that was already in the walls. Also adding a few 2.5g with a 4x2.5g + 2xsfp+ 10g switch that goes into a 10g capable switch.


I ran conduit for fiber to a couple rooms.

Because pre-terminated cable assemblies [0] can be 10% of the cost of a more modular link, I used conduit large enough to pass QSFP28 with ease. May not be possible in every home but I'm happy with the result.

I've run fiber in my apartment, but it's running along baseboards in no-traffic areas and draped high up along wall and window moldings in nonzero-traffic ones.

> I am also thinking it might need to be shrouded in EMT conduit

Why would you need to run your fiber in metal pipe? EMI isn't a problem with fiber.


I did a few rooms with fiber and copper for 10G, you don't need EMT, I found the blue flexible smurf tube perfect for this.


Yeah, but it’s a km from one end to the other, and a WiFi relay wasn’t cutting it, and Ethernet couldn’t stretch the distance - so fibre it was.

Utter pain in the ass, broke one fibre pulling it through conduit with way too much force (like, 2000+N), another got eaten by a fox before I’d put it in a conduit, and terminating fibre is a royal pain if you have to do it.

But yeah, totally worth it.


LPL (Lock Picking Lawyer) has been making a fool of MasterLock and other physical security products/marketing for many years.

Guess ML realizes it’s best to be humiliated online where a small subset of population would never buy their products anyways. Rather than humiliate themselves in public like Proven Industries did (Barbara Streisand effect?)


What’s the severance package at Amazon like?

Standard 3 mo w/ insurance during that period? Do they accelerate vesting schedule?

Any AMZN drones care to chime in?


1 month for each year and partial year worked. They don’t accelerate vesting schedule.

Former AWS drone. Fortunately I never had to work in an office.


Think bare minimum.
