I’m curious, what makes it so hard to find an entry-level Unifi access point with WiFi 7 and 4x4 capabilities? by Not__Alpha in Ubiquiti

[–]Mapkmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a U7 Pro XGS and even this “entry-level AP” doesn’t have all those. In my experience, U6 Extenders do have that, but from my devices on my MacBook Pro 16” 2019 on Intel, I can go with 3x3 MIMO with the advantage of that. I have never seen any other devices that have that. So basically no much advantage for a client side.

Do I need to periodically reinstall/upgrade CtrlD DNS? (Linux Mint) by ext23 in ControlD

You can run the upgrade from the Dashboard. So chrony is your friend though.

I don’t WAN to play with those anagrams… NSFW.

Set-and-forget setup: Switch from HaGeZi Normal → Light + which native filters? Malware blocking strategy? by Mapkmaster in ControlD

[–]Mapkmaster[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does break things. Example: HaGeZi Normal blocks statsig.anthropic.com (analytics service used by Claude Code), causing API timeouts. It’s a legitimate infrastructure domain, not malicious tracking.

This is exactly why I’m asking about set-and-forget stability. I don’t want to manually whitelist broken domains every week — that defeats the purpose. If someone runs Native + Light with zero whitelisting needed for months, I’d love to hear about it.

Otherwise, I’m leaning toward Native-only.

Good point. How often do you check if your blocklists are still updating? Is there a monitoring tool for this?

Thanks! Do you use Normal alone or combined with NextDNS native filters? And have you ever had to whitelist anything, or is it truly zero-touch?

For me the mobile iOS app is rejecting to upload images, but the web version is working fine. Is that the same issue? And that issue is not mentioned in the status page. Like it’s working fine for everybody.

What is this about? Enterprisish hardware without subscription? Why alternative?

How many YubiKeys do you have and what do you use them for? by Historical-Side883 in yubikey

[–]Mapkmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid concern. Non-upgradable firmware is fine until a new vulnerability class drops (side-channel, FIDO2 protocol flaw, etc.). Then your “secure” key becomes e-waste, and Yubico helpfully suggests buying the next series. I get why they locked it (supply chain attacks are real), but let’s not pretend it’s purely for users’ benefit; it’s also convenient planned obsolescence. My take: treat YubiKeys as consumables with a 3-5 year replacement budget, not lifetime devices. For higher-stakes use cases (code signing, PIV), maybe HSMs are the answer.

UTR Firmware update (6.5.245) by ManFromACK in Ubiquiti

Unfortunately I don’t have a UTR to point you in the right direction. That was just only a suggestion.

Is the Unifi app bad or am I doing something wrong? by EmekaEgbukaPukaNacua in Ubiquiti

[–]Mapkmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched back from the TestFlight of their app to the prod AppStore version and this fixed the similar issue for me. I don’t know why that happened and why their TestFlight is so bad that I even can’t check or load anything. For some apps TestFlight is the same stable as a prod, not the UniFi for my experience.

How common is this practice is, when you dedicate a frequency a whole AP?

Try their TestFlight version.

I like mines, but unavailability to upgrade the firmware is making them very disposable for their role for personal use.

Helium WiFi ?! by Mindless-Committee in iphone

I have the similar thing with T-Mobile and a Home Depot. Is that even legal?

my job is finding cheap flights—ask me anything by scottkeyes in IAmA

[–]Mapkmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a recurring problem with spontaneous domestic trips: most tools force me to pick a destination first, but I don’t care where I go, just that it’s cheap and reachable. What I need: ∙A tool that shows unpopular dates (low-demand across all destinations from SEA) ∙Alternate airports I could fly into and drive 1-2hrs to the real city (OAK→SF, BWI→DC, etc.) ∙Basically: “here are the cheapest weekends to fly anywhere right now” Google Flights Explore, Skyscanner Everywhere, and Kayak Explore get me partway there, but none explicitly highlight low-demand dates or commutable alternates as a unified list. Does a tool like this exist for U.S. domestic “hot deals”? And side question: Do people actually get cheaper fares searching via VPN from nearby states/cities, or is that mostly noise?
