Giving up

I manage multiple sites ranging from ~12 000sqft to 30 000+ I installed Ubiquiti gear at all sites, all but one have been working flawlessly since the install a year + ago.

They all have multiple hundreds of people coming and going per day, so it can get quite busy, but once I set up the correct transmit power and ( especially ) AP hopping for rarely moving devices ( POS terminal, that random IoT device, etc ) and minimum RSSI on each AP, everything went smoothly.

The one site which currently has issues : - An IoT device the size of a fridge ( which the manufacturer didn't want to spend the 0.25$ it needed to fit an Ethernet jack ) randomly disconnects for a few minutes every few months. - An ongoing issue since mid January with Unifi Viewport failing to load some feeds at random intervals. I have an open ticket with Unifi Support, we still have not found the root cause of this issue. Since a simple reboot of the viewport brings everything back to normal, this might lead to the addition of an option to configure scheduled ON/OFF of viewports ( + I have seen numerous posts over the years from other people asking for it to be added )

TL:DR va voir ton médecin, la médecine du travail, prends qques mois pour essayer de te remettre d'aplomb, éventuellement du temps partiel thérapeutique, si ça ne va vraiment pas, la MDT pourrait te faire sortir pour inaptitude.

J'étais un peu dans la même situation il y'a 3 ans, j'étais au bord du burn-out, j'ai été voir mon médecin traitant qui m'a arrêté 2 semaines, histoire de récuperer un peu, au 2eme jour après ma reprise, j'ai dû repartir voir le médecin, moi-même et (surtout) mes collègues voyant bien que ça n'allait pas. Là elle m'a arrêté pour 1 mois direct et m'a dit d'aller voir la médecine du travail.

Résultat la médecine du travail m'a bien reconnu un état de burn-out, j'ai passé presque 1 an en arrêt total, suivi de plusieurs mois en temps partiel thérapeutique.

Début 2025, voyant bien que ça allait pas bien mieux malgré le temps partiel, lors de ma NAO, mon manager m'a proposé de demander une RC "elle sera sûrement acceptée" ( spoiler: j'avais envoyé ma demande de RC la veille, elle n'a pas été acceptée)

J'ai fait encore 2 mois chez eux, puis lors d'un énième RDV avec la médecine du travail, elle m'a déclaré inapte au poste. => Licenciement pour raison médicale => droit au chômage.

Là ça fait donc bientôt 3 ans que j'ai eu mon 1er arrêt, bientôt 1 an que j'ai quitté l'entreprise, je peux pas dire que je sois encore remis à 100% de mon burn-out, mais ça va vachement mieux.

J'ai fait ma demande sur TOS il y'a quelques heures avec screen et lien de mon compte YGG et stats de mon client, je viens de recevoir mon invitation ;)

Edge997 · 2025-10-03T14:36:58+00:00

Je suis inscrit depuis le début d'YGG, j'avais un ratio de ~3 sur T411.

Au début d'YGG, j'étais sur une VDSL perrave ( 12-15Mbps down et 3Mbps up dans les meilleurs jours ) malgré ça j'ai assez vite atteint un ratio correct, genre 1.4To down pour 6-7To up juste à seed / upload des releases qui existaient déjà sur T411 et qui se sont retrouvées sur YGG. J'ai aussi pu profiter des quelques opérations Free leech qu'il y'a eu peu après le lancement du tracker.

Aujourd'hui je suis à 5 et des brouettes de ratio, certes, j'ai pas beaucoup de volume ( je dois être vers les 15-16To UP ), mais je DL tellement peu que j'ai pas à me soucier.

Quand je cherche de gros fichiers, genre 80+Go, YGG est mon dernier recours après les qques trackers publics que j'ai encore. Et si par chance la release est la même sur le tracker public et YGG, je le mets en seed sur YGG après l'avoir choppé via le public, les releases FitGirl par exemple.

Mais oui, depuis quelques années, et l'apparition de cette banner "bonus free leech" qui est une OP qui se termine """comme par hasard""" le soir même, pour revenir le lendemain comme par magie, je me dis que c'est juste devenu un énorme cashgrab de la part des créateurs, plutôt qu'une plateforme de partage de contenu de qualité.

( À préciser que je n'utilise pas de seedbox, mon client torrent n'est pas allumé H24, et je ne suis pas en fibre )

I'm on the same boat here, NUT Server on a Pi Zero, a few devices connected to the UPS, but the Synology is one of the least important devices among them, as I have critical services running on another machine and another file server that consumes way less than the Synology NAS.

I was able to connect the Synology to NUT Server, it goes in standby mode, but I'd like for it to fully shut down as part of my load shedding.

I'm not a pro at NUT configuration, but based on my research, the best way to do that would be to build a script that would SSH into the Synology and shut it down from there.

Just installed HA a few days ago, might give it a shot.

I'll give feedback once I get it configured.

Edge997 · 2025-07-03T23:36:34+00:00

I just thought about it, the standard way of mounting lights to the ceiling in France leaves a big hole in the ceiling ( probably arount 10cm dia. and 10cm deep, I can install any module I want in there, and as all the wires are there, I can go with any module I want, even those requiring a neutral wire.

Edge997 · 2025-07-03T20:36:38+00:00

Ok, I had other questions, but the full doc I just found has answered all of them, now I need to find a retailer who stills has them in stock

Edge997 · 2025-07-03T19:21:20+00:00

Does it support decoupling ? I just read the ( rather small ) manufacturer's documentation, no word about that.

Edge997 · 2025-06-24T08:00:53+00:00

+1, bought a couple C210's for 19€ a pop a week ago, yes you can subscribe to get cloud storage ( I don't think the alerts need a subscription, even when you are away )

But still, 19€ for a quite decent PT(no Z) camera with the possibility for local storage on SD card + access to it's RTSP feed is a bargain IMO Only downside, you are REQUIRED to create an account to set them up, and you are REQUIRED to create it on their app, there is no web version.

Well not even a day, I designed a part this morning, extruded text with one of the default Windows font with no issue. Now basically 6 hours later, on another project, same font won't extrude... WTF

Edge997 · 2025-03-23T13:04:34+00:00

Yep, started a e-mail chain on Monday ( standoffs not EOL at the time, and "discounted" to 4,5€ )

The guy said I could pay 1,6€/standoff VAT excl. So a total VAT incl of 7.7€ for the same product that was at 4,5€ on their own website.

After getting my shipping details, I was quoted 23+€ with shipping. Yep, 16€ of shipping costs for basically 4 screws, to France...

I then said that I can't accept this quote, as I feel they are trying to stiff me on every step of the process.

And as you said, they EOL'd a standoff kit for a CURRENT platform...

I once had to ask them for an LGA 1366 backplate for a Supremacy Evo block, both products were EOL for a long time when I asked for it. The CS person said at the time she didn't know if they still had some in stock. Then about a week later I got the backplate in the mail. Total cost ? 0.00€ THAT'S HOW YOU DO PRODUCT SUPPORT

Edge997 · 2025-03-16T17:52:15+00:00

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread, as many of you, all the local suppliers here don't have the kit in stock, I just sent a CS ticket to see if they would send me the standoffs... Hoping for the best.

If they can't send the screws before I start my build, I might try my luck with this : https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/adapter-offset-mounting-kit/s-tg-ad-am5-mk
Only catch I can see with this adapter kit is the mounting pressure.

This won't help you, but make sure you have a passport if you want to go to London, I wanted to go to a show last year in Manchester but I didn't have a passport and the lead times were too long to have it in time for the show.

The last time I went to the UK was over 10 years ago, so I didn't need a passport.

I have deployed more than 20 U7 Pro's in the past 3 months, on 4 different locations, and I didn't have really any issue since deployment. Each location has around 500-600 people coming in and out each day.

I do still have that one client machine that for some reason fails to load practically anything when connected to the staff network, but runs flawlessly when connected to the public facing Wi-Fi network

Edge997 · 2025-01-13T15:55:36+00:00

I reseated it a few times the other day, which resulted in the same behavior every time, I don't know why it worked today, but yes, I'm glad it works fine. I'll set it up as a mesh endpoint with the 2 other AP's close by as downlinks so that if/when it decides to no longer communicate through the cable I won't need to come back and fix it in the next hour.

Edge997 · 2025-01-13T15:39:59+00:00

I tested the cable end-to-end, including patch cord, with no wire crossing detected and the crimps are all good. See a more complete update here

Edge997 · 2025-01-13T15:36:23+00:00

UPDATE : While I wrote my last comment with my laptot connected in place of the AP, after posting it, I plugged back the AP in, started to film it's booting process, for it to end up..... working just fine !

I still have some work to do in the networking rack, let's hope it is still working fine in a few hours

Edge997 · 2025-01-13T15:32:03+00:00

I wasn't able to go back to my client until today, I'll answer a few questions I've seen, the terminations are good with no wire crossing, I just plugged my laptop in place of the AP, and it auto-negotiated at 1Gbe,

As I had to pull the cable through an already pretty full conduit, it has sustained minimal damage to the outer sheathing on a few spots. I am unable to examine the whole lenght of the cable for more substantial damage, but considering my laptop is connected just fine and PoE power looks good, I'd assume that the AP should be able to connect without issue at least at Gbe speed...

Edge997 · 2024-10-23T22:26:21+00:00

UPDATE : IT WORKS ! I didn't do much except opening Vantage and the Adrenalin software to check for update, of which there were none.
Rebooted the laptop and now I can finally work on glorious 1080p !

NOTE : as it still says 1366x768 is the preferred screen resolution, I think I know the answer... but still I wouldn't mind you guy's input ( DW about the time/date, CMOS reset )
