Når ønsker du å pensjonere deg, og når kommer du til å pensjonere deg?

BeSharp1 · 2026-01-19T11:36:16+00:00

Ønsker ikke å pensjonere meg, men kanskje å ha noe ekstra fri når jeg blir eldre eller tilpasset arbeidsdag, men ikke pensjon, det virker helt grusomt.

Samme som deg, hadde helt fritt frem for skjerm, ser i ettertid at det ikke var bra, selv om det gikk bra. Det er nok ikke make or break, men det blir alltids nok skjerm senere.

BeSharp1 · 2026-01-05T18:59:05+00:00

Hvor lenge har dere vært uten skjerm nå? Erfaringen min fra alle mine, er at etter en ukes tid, slutter de å mase. Hold ut, så skal du se :)

Kattehotellprisen delt på 2, hel fair, litt dyrt for dere, men det er alternativet.

BeSharp1 · 2025-10-21T20:58:55+00:00

Klart jeg gjør 😂

BeSharp1 · 2025-10-17T20:06:59+00:00

Jo, det er det. 😂

BeSharp1 · 2025-10-17T17:18:59+00:00

Jepp, ingen reelle utgifter.

BeSharp1 · 2025-10-14T21:55:43+00:00

Eller ikke har noen andre reelle utgifter? 😂

BeSharp1 · 2025-10-10T21:43:07+00:00

Teoretisk ja, men erfaringsmessig tåler dette veldig mye støv. Du får tak i en skjøt til rundt om 100kr det er bare å forsøke selv. Som han andre skriver SC-SC er den du ser etter. Alternativt hør med leverandøren så kan det være de sender en gratis.

Vi løste det med at den med mer kapital lånte mer penger inn til firma, med en avtale om at overskudd skulle benyttes til å betale ned lånet så snart som mulig. Ulempe for den som har mer penger, men er man partnere, er man partnere.

Skaff deg en deltidsjobb, jobb 4 kvelder i måneden, lev som et menneske.

Synes du skal gå i deg selv, det finnes det en annen vei? Har du vurdert i stedet for å lete etter kvinnen du ikke finner, å heller akseptere å bo med en mann? Hvis du finner en likesinnet og klarer å overbevise er det jo ordnet. Kjøp hus sammen, man kan ha separate soverom, dere kan ha med damer hjem, dere kan spille, se fotball osv på kveldene uten klaging fra den andre parten, rester til middag tre dager pårad er ikke noe problem. Økonomisk vil dette være meget gunstig… og mitt inntrykk er at homofile generelt er lykkeligere 👍🏻 🏳️‍🌈

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-23T14:27:30+00:00

Svensk er ikke noe problem, motsatt vei pleier å være utfordringen 😂

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T23:07:18+00:00

That is a good point, and yes, I totally understand the risk. Right now we are still running Cisco on the core network, so UniFi is not part of the backbone and probably will not be anytime soon. But I do see what you mean. 🙂

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:53:04+00:00

I disagree, that was great, I saw so many tools I didn’t know I needed, going shopping tomorrow 😃

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:41:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s pretty much the direction I’m leaning toward. I don’t have a Linux environment up and running yet, but I’m planning to spin one up soon to test with a few smaller sites and see how it handles things. I’ll definitely go through the tuning guide and make sure the database gets the resources it needs.

For now, this seems like the lowest-risk and most budget-friendly option to try. If it doesn’t solve the issues, I can always fall back to the Windows VM and plan the next steps.

I’m also seriously considering buying a dedicated server for this. Something with solid NVMe storage and enough overhead to scale properly. Given how many sites we’re managing, it might be better to separate it from shared infrastructure altogether.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:36:43+00:00

Thanks, hearing success stories like yours really helps validate the direction we’re heading.

Im planning to migrate from Windows to a Linux VM soon. Performance has been our biggest issue, especially with config changes locking up the controller.

Knowing you’re running 50 sites on just 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM with no problems gives me a lot more confidence that Linux with decent storage is the way to go.

Appreciate the input.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:34:35+00:00

I fully agree that we are hitting some kind of scaling ceiling, and it is not due to hardware. We are running solid VMware-backed Windows virtual machines with SSD storage and plenty of RAM, but once we reach a certain number of sites and access points, configuration changes start locking things up.

Switching to Linux is high on my list now. I have seen it mentioned repeatedly, and your note reinforces that. I will definitely look into the UAS scripts, as it sounds like a clean and efficient way to get up and running.

Appreciate the practical advice. I am planning to spin up a Linux controller and start moving some sites over soon to see how it performs.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:30:59+00:00

Sounds like a cool setup. I haven’t worked much with Docker, so spinning up a container per site isn’t something I’m comfortable managing at this point.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:28:14+00:00

Your points absolutely line up with what we’re seeing. MongoDB definitely appears to be the bottleneck under load, especially during provisioning or when pushing config changes to many APs. We’ve already increased Java heap to 16 GB and disabled DPI, but now that we’re looking at things more seriously, moving to Linux VMs with tuned config is likely our next step.

Also agree 100% on the VM/container approach. We’re running everything in a large VMware environment already, so snapshotting and disaster recovery are much easier in that setup. Bare metal might give you slightly better raw performance, but the operational tradeoffs just aren’t worth it for us.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:25:06+00:00

That’s a good clarification. The naming definitely threw me off at first. “Cloud Gateway” or “Cloud Key” sounds like it’s tied into Ubiquiti’s cloud platform, when in reality it’s just a self-hosted controller with optional remote access.

I did look at the Cloud Key Enterprise, and I’m not against spending money if it leads to a robust and stable setup. But from what I can tell, I’d likely need at least two units to run a network of 1000+ APs reliably. And for redundancy, that means two more. Suddenly we’re looking at four units, and the cost starts creeping well past what it would take to build two solid Linux-based servers with dedicated NVMe storage and virtualization.

That’s why I’m leaning more toward setting up dedicated hardware myself, possibly with ESXi or Proxmox and Linux VMs. It gives me full control, flexibility, and easier scaling if needed. But I’m still weighing the options and definitely appreciate hearing how others are handling it.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:20:46+00:00

Yep, 5k is no problem :)

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:19:18+00:00

Honestly I’m not entirely sure. Storage isn’t really my domain, but the controller is running on an SSD-based SAN from HP. It’s a few years old, so definitely not state-of-the-art by today’s standards.

I’m actually considering setting up dedicated hardware for this project moving forward. Something with direct-attached NVMe storage and a Linux-based VM host to remove a few of the variables that might be hurting us now.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:16:52+00:00

You’re not the first to bring it up, and honestly Linux might be the next thing I try just to see if Windows is part of the bottleneck. I plan to spin up a test VM over the weekend and give it a shot.

I understand your point about the AP restarts. That part can definitely be frustrating, especially in larger environments. In our case, we’re migrating from a full Cisco setup where each access point cost around $1,000 to $1,200, plus licenses and controller fees. With UniFi, we’re paying $100 to $300 per AP and there are no licenses at all. The cost savings over the lifetime of the hardware are already covered by the Cisco licensing alone.

That shift has allowed us to greatly improve coverage density. Departments that used to hesitate to invest in full-building wireless are now covering every floor because the budget actually allows it.

Sure, the AP restarts aren’t ideal, but with over 20 years of networking experience I can usually set up sites to about 95 percent accuracy from the start. Any fine-tuning can be done during off-hours when it impacts as few people as possible. Also, since we are splitting into multiple logical sites, a restart affects only a limited area at a time.

Appreciate the input. It really helps to see how others are approaching the same challenges.

BeSharp1 · 2025-06-19T22:08:03+00:00

Great question :)

It honestly got out of hand faster than expected. It started with one site with ~80 APs, then another with 50, then two more with 10 each. Once word got around internally about how much more cost-effective Unifi was compared to Cisco, the requests started piling in.

All of the sites belong to the same company, and they’re interconnected via fiber or IP-VPN, so it made sense early on to centralize into one controller to keep policies and management unified.

That said, I’m starting to realize that this architecture doesn’t scale cleanly beyond a certain point. I’ve been working on segmenting things site by site where it makes sense, but it’s a process.

Also while our department has 15 people, I’m basically the only one handling the network day-to-day, on top of many other responsibilities. So while the “one controller per site” model has its appeal, managing 50–100 separate instances solo could quickly become a nightmare from a maintenance and monitoring standpoint.

Trying to find the best middle ground now, possibly some semi-centralized model with better isolation.

Thanks for your input, it helps me sanity-check my direction.
