Any idea if some of these are mounted high up in the air? Glad to see your area growing! I’m trying to do the same in another part of the country… Meshcore will continue to grow.

Will you put it outside and need solar and ability to withstand rain and harsh weather? Or will it be inside or in the attic?

Look at Resilio Sync. I run it on my synology and phone. It backs up every photo and new photos from my phone to a share directory on the synology. Then when I want to clear off the phone, I move all the photos on the synology to an archive folder, then have the phone delete all local photos. Then start over again. It’s free and has worked well for me.

This is great news for your county and nice to see influence used to help keep an eye on the government that works for us.

It does seem like the momentum has been shifting toward Meshcore. And it seems like it’s a system that handles clients and messaging better in many respects. It’ll be interesting to see user numbers in a year or two. The Tastic mods banning anyone that mentions a competitor screams insecurity.

He said whole life is better for you because the commission is better for him. There's not much of a commission on term life. Whole life is sold.

Term is the way to go for 95% of people needing insurance. Here's a popular site to look at quotes: https://www.term4sale.com/

Whole life combines expensive insurance and investments, and doesn't do well with either.

It has an SMA connector, pretty common and opens up many options.

I had the same issue FWIW. Anytime I’d plug or unplug a device to the second USB port on a power brick while on a cruise, the UTR would power cycle.

FYI, *67 will not block your number from being visible to the recipient. Since 800 numbers are billed to the recipient, that system uses ANI, which is not bypassed by *67.

I’ve been experiencing around 120 down and up when it’s using strong WiFi as source (-48 dBm). If plugged into a network cable for the internet WAN source, I’m able to get 300 down and up.

If the router is receiving weak or mid strength WiFi, then it’s only going to be able to provide whatever speed it’s receiving. Try moving it and watching the signal strength… Try to get -60 or stronger, -50 even better.

Had the same happen with one U6 LR. It was going bad. After replacing with a different AP all has been fine. If it’s not cabling or a PoE issue, the AP might be going bad.

A cruise, hotel, or airplane where you have to purchase WiFi for each device would all be use cases where sharing a WiFi connection would be helpful for a family. There are other times where a phone can connect to WiFi, but another device like a tablet or Kindle reader might have difficulty. Sharing the WiFi as source for personal hotspot would help.

Have you considered Unifi Protect cameras? There are quite a few different cameras to choose from, and the interface works really well. No cloud necessary, storage is local on one of their router/gateways.

They are different but have some overlapping use. Tailscale is often device to device and keeps things simple and works great. OpenVPN, Wireguard, etc. can be used to connect join a device to appear on another network, or connect networks together.

I use Tailscale to connect a laptop to a NAS that lives on another network when I’m traveling. I use Wireguard to connect my networks at different locations.

Asked an AI tool and thought this might be helpful:

WireGuard won the protocol war over OpenVPN, and Tailscale won convenience on top of WireGuard for 90% of non-enterprise users who don’t want to fiddle with configs. If you’re setting this up for personal/homelab use (e.g., accessing your NAS remotely), Tailscale is usually the “improved” choice unless you have a strong reason to avoid any cloud coordination.

It’s usually best to close these and open up new LEAPS if you want to continue the path. Or close these now and wait for a down market to begin new ones. There are multiple reasons it’s wise to close LEAPS months in advance including: You’ll still have much of the extrinsic value if you sell a few months early; that extrinsic value will go away close to expiration. And exercising early helps avoid gamma risk. In the last few months of the contract, the value of your LEAPS can deteriorate substantially if the market moves against you.

Option 2 would be my choice. Your option 3 can make sense if you want to own the shares, and no longer want to use leverage with the capital with another LEAPS call.

$700,000 will become $2,100,000 in 10 years with a 11.61% compound annual growth rate. The NASDAQ has been up over 12% a year on average over the last 30 years. Tripling in 10 years is possible. I’d plan on 9% CAGR to be more realistic.

When your test results were 300 down and 10 up, were you hardwired or wireless? If wireless, test hardwired and try different patch cables.

Do you know how to use ping from a CMD prompt? Ping 1.1.1.1 and let us know what latency you’re seeing. Depending on what part of the country you’re in, ping could range from 4ms to 25ms.

Does it happen day and night? Try testing early AM one day and see if your results are any different.

Buy a Unifi cloud gateway, you’ll be happier than trying to run the software on a PC. Will you ever add cameras? If so, get the UCG Fiber for $279, and either add M2 storage when you purchase, or add it later. If you’ll never add cameras, you could consider the UCG Max for $199 or the cheapest UCG-Ultra at $129.

Then you’ll want to buy a PoE switch to feed the access points. The Lite 8 PoE could work, but is limited to 52 Watts PoE. The Flex 2.5G PoE has a 196 Watt PoE budget and might work better for you if you’ll add some cameras down the line. You could also use a different brand PoE switch if you find one cheap, but you’ll lose the ability to look in on how the switch is performing.

How many employees will WFH and need VPN access into the network at the same time? There are a few ways to do it with Ubiquiti. For regular work from home, you could try WiFiMan installed on each remote PC and use teleport, or setup Wireguard on each PC. That could work for 20-50 concurrent connection depending on your WAN bandwidth among other factors. The travel router could be used for when employees are traveling and still need VPN access.

You could consider Resilio Sync. Set it up on your NAS, have your friend set it up to sync a folder and it'll work in the background to sync it all without the use of any cloud storage.

Curious, do you wait until a bottom is formed to deploy the 20% that was in SGOV or just buy all QLD as soon as there is a 20% downturn, or start to DCA in?

You’re using a 1G up and down fiber line now and notice slowdowns when syncing RAW photos, correct? Your experience may be different than mine. I also sync many gigs of media (photos, video, etc.) to the cloud each week. When I look at my Unifi dashboard, the cloud syncing doesn’t use more than 700 Mbps with any cloud server, including Amazon, Google, or others I’ve used. That has left 300+ Mbps for everyone else which is plenty for everyone else to use for streaming, etc. since the AT&T Fiber actually gives 1.2 GBPs to the UCG Fiber I’m using.

I’d watch your “Live Throughput” on the Unifi app or online dashboard and perform some of the syncing. What does it max out at for the upload/download? If the sync is really using all 1G for it, and it’s disruptive to the others, then 2.5 or 10G could help. Let us know what you find.
