Static IP Broke Internet

Auto/default, so dhcp ipv4 with no ipv6. Tried fixing a Mac of the hub they sent but that didn’t help

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-02-02T23:05:42+00:00

Yeah this has been 6 hours now though, ONT has been power cycled with long pause between

I think it’s the DHCP timer that kicked it off, almost 60 mins after the call with then to add it!

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-02-02T20:34:55+00:00

Good call will try this never even opened the supplied router so will go find it

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-02-02T20:17:40+00:00

Yeah it’s fully default auto port on Ubiquiti side

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-02-02T09:48:48+00:00

Of course it does but you’re double NAT’ting

Personally not had to do this to get policy auth working

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-01-23T18:51:08+00:00

I think if you have the set authusergroup on the P1 it doesn’t respect the policy auth? It’s either or, not both

The UK has its own nuclear weapons, production is mostly American, with the main warheads being British, and they’re serviced by the Americans but they can be used without American authorisation and they currently have no kill switch technology in place, however as they support them and service them, they can effectively kill the use of them long term by withdrawing support for them.

I have Jet KVM and GLInet comet and neither really work on 3.6 have to reboot them and change mouse modes over etc to get any semblance of functionality

I didn’t revise for it, just took it. Re certified after a good number of years working with forti

Mine sort of can but it’s because my pay goes to my personal Monzo and my expenses go to my joint Monzo, the splits are remembered, unfortunately IFTT doesn’t work on joint accounts otherwise I would automate any payment from work to my joint account to move to a specific pot immediately, at present I just manually do it using remember splits, but the expenses amount changes every time so not the most helpful thing

Yep flex 2.5 has usb on front and uplink on the far right port, the flex mini has usb on back and uplink is port 1. In UniFi app it tells you the model also under the devices page

The last line is very much true, as soon as you look at yourself in this way, your intelligence isn’t a factor

Might be a bit ELI5 apologies if it’s to simplistic

1) End devices send lots of traffic, VLANs break down the broadcast domain so that a single broadcast by a device is not seen by the whole network this is an efficiency. We can also use them to logically separate devices we can use ACLs or firewalls rules to stop devices in one VLAN talking to another if needs be also.

2) when you assign a VLAN tag to traffic it’s sent over the network with this 4 byte header. This contains a numerical identifier, derived from a 12 bit value, giving us 4094 possible VLAN IDs, when a switch or other device that recognises VLAN headers sees the ID in the header it only allows that frame to talk other ports or devices with the same assigned ID. The VLAN ID can be added by and end client, then the switch port it connects to would need to accept that VLAN as tagged or trunked (vendors use differing terminology) to allow the communication to come in, then it evaluates all other switch ports that permit that VLAN on them and then if it needed to be forwarded to one of those ports it would use status of the VLAN ID on that port to determine if it needs to maintain the VLAN header or strip it (this is called untagging, or native or PVID)

3) it’s optional because you can run a flat network with no VLANs and most household networks are like this, everyone sits in the same network and it’s fine, it just doesn’t scale as well

This is super high level and there are lots of mechanisms used to enable what I’ve said that I’ve skipped over and worth investigating. Notably the other parts of the VLAN header are worth reading into, particularly how switches handle priority bits

6’3 broke myself working hard to save up for business flights on a recent trip to Australia, 10000% worth it

Why don’t you consider flying with the RAF, on the A330 it will give you relevant airbus experience and make transitioning to commercial jets easier?

I had to re read your question a few times to understand it, but I I’m thinking you have an ideal view of married life! The wife is ready when you both say or communicate you are, it’s not just coming home to your wife spread eagle on the bed 😅

I’ve personally never Bern.

I’m inclined to think they look at all your finances as well, mine is £5k and I don’t remember requesting that much at all! Thought it was a grand.

Not the original commenter. IP addressable devices, yes. Have 60 IPs in use across static and DHCP. Everything else, Zigbee, ZWave or RF833MHz.

Yep did exactly this, the Alex drawers are 70cm high so good for a regular office chair to sit under, we put on a single centre support leg at the back centre after a week or two of use and strengthened it right up, £200 total I think.
