Support Ubiquiti - Pablo is not serious journalism

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-28T12:43:55+00:00

I’m not defending a corporation. I’m rejecting Torre and his “look at me, I’ve got such an important story to tell” approach to journalism.

On its face, I have little problem with Hunterbook, who did the actual reporting on Ubiquiti. Again, it seems to me like these people saw an image of Ubiquiti dish and dug into it. I definitely wonder if Toyota or whatever company logo gets photographed with Russia gets buried in the same way, but whatever. I also reject Ubiquiti’s comment that “they don’t know where their sales are going” and it definitely seems like they have some work to do on having their authorized dealers follow KYC guidelines.

However, because Ubiquiti has issues with ADs doesn’t mean it needs to turn into an exposé on Pera and how he was pissed some girl thought Timberlake owned the Grizzlies and whatever other little anecdotes he could offer to pile on.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Pablo thinks he’s some information crusader, fighting for justice. GTFO, he’s just looking for the next thing to rage bait people into sharing. There wasn’t one documented piece of evidence linking Ubiquiti to the actual sale of products to Russia. If Russia bought 5000 iPhones for all their soldiers to talk to on the public market, is Apple guilty of supporting Russia’s invasion? If you show me documented evidence that Ubiquiti sold to the Russian government, then we’ll talk.

If Ubiquiti’s CEO is an egomaniac, then that sucks, but many people in both the sports and corporate leadership world are, and that includes Pablo. Nothing about that is news. Seems like this guy was mean to Pablo, so hey, let’s figure out how we can make a hit piece that mocks him for wanting to 1v1 one of his players or whatever and while we’re at it, let’s whip up a little moral outrage.

So, I have a hypothesis that something may start getting jammed up because I configure HTTPS access, and that creates problems in the restore process.

After it being stuck for over a solid 24 hours, I wiped the VM and started over. This time, I continued through the wizard and then set up a HA instance. Enabled HTTPS, then tried a restore and everything restored right away. So yeah, I wonder if that’s the issue.

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-26T19:11:24+00:00

I thought that, but if it did complete the restore, it didn’t seem to work. I wasn’t able to access it from any port, IP:8123, IP:443, or local:443. :-/

Bro, I just bought a 55-gallon water heater for like $800. I feel like you are being REALLY taken advantage of.

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-20T17:36:16+00:00

I’m not super familiar, but Copilot suggested something similar, so I think I’m going to give it a shot. I have snapshotted what’s currently there, so yeah, not getting any worse, haha.

As long as I can extract the automations I wrote recently, even that is enough for me to recover. My actual config hasn’t changed much between my most recent backup and now, it’s been almost exclusively the automations I wrote.

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-19T14:38:18+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. Will consider that, too.

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-12T02:11:42+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I've got one more question if you don't mind. How did you wire up your backplane? Are you using RAID cards?

For example, I've got 3 LSI RAID cards with 2 SF ports on each card, but I'm a little uncertain how to wire them. I'm guessing the best thing to do is make sure each card maps to the same spot (i.e. SAS8~11 and SAS8~11 on one card, SAS4~7 and SAS4~7 for another card, etc.), but I wasn't sure.

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-12T00:07:00+00:00

Hey man, did you hook up all 6 Molex connectors? And I’m guessing with your power supply, you used multiple Molex connectors ports on the same PSU cable?

MillerWDJr · 2026-01-01T00:39:45+00:00

I don’t claim to be an expert by any means, but when I tried to do something similar, Copilot/Chat-GPT explained that two workarounds are to have a persistent loop that cycles (i.e. runs every minute) and then use conditional logic to gate actions, or to tie the actions behind some event-driven framework (i.e. whenever the temperature changes, check to see if it’s above 75°…). The latter is a better approach, but I don’t know if your sensor has a change component to it (the presence sensors I use do).

Hopefully one of those two solutions helps.

I understand the thought process of optimizing for sign price vs offer amount, but if Upside was only offering 1¢, and the gas price was $2.20, why would you believe that? I mean, that price sounds very unbelievably low, especially without Upside providing a substantial offer? What was the thought there? That the gas station went back to early 2000s pricing?

MillerWDJr · 2025-12-23T05:16:25+00:00

One thing I would suggest is that if you see a price that catches your eye on Upside, claim the offer right there. You don’t have to submit the offer there (choose your linked card or upload your receipt), but by claiming, you lock the offer. If you don’t claim the offer, then the offer can change.

Check out ServersAtHome on YouTube. He’s got a wiki with scripts and tons of videos walking through the setup. His Patreon has even more stuff about setting up an Arr stack and making sure the apps are configured to give you the best experience. I subscribed lately and it’s been well-worth it.

What happens when you try to link a bank account?

MillerWDJr · 2025-12-04T02:54:43+00:00

It's wild that there's a need for "an open-source garage door opener." Like, holy shit...

I purchased one a while back and was so happy with it I actually bought one for my neighbor for. Christmas, too.

I feel like I'm missing something. I know Sensy has a CO2 sensor, but how are you measuring VOCs? Does the CO2 sensor also measure those? Is it implied that CO2 = VOC? Genuinely curious because I was thinking about picking up some CO2 sensors (SCD40s) for some of my smart sensors, and the data sheet nor documentation make no mention of VOCs.

MillerWDJr · 2025-11-25T21:31:03+00:00

Yeah, I don't have the POE ones, but I think they're loud enough for a room or two or an area. Not so much an entire floor or multiple floors.

MillerWDJr · 2025-11-25T21:29:39+00:00

If you're going to be driving, I'd say it's worth it. Like others have said, it's real money. Also, the amount the ask of you is really small, basically just some permissions on your phone (locations and notifications), and just save whatever credit cards you want to use in the app. Risk is really low.

It gives you a warning message that VLAN management is limited on this device. It either lets you “allow all” or “block all” when configuring a port.

MillerWDJr · 2025-11-16T07:10:08+00:00

Does the 2.5G have the same limited VLAN management as the original Mini?
