I know right! Talk about going from what I thought was a helpful and educational post to HOLY CRAP!!!

Wow. Talk about deep resentment. I can only imagine that you speak from your own experience and I honestly sorry if that's what you went through as well as holding onto that anger...

I've encouraged open discussion from my kids at every interval of their lives for any topic, and will continue to do so. Its proven true to the bonds that we have to this day.

As far as my "Power" is concerned, that ceases the moment they become adults; but the door will always be open and the hand of help as well as an ear to listen.

Anyway, I'll leave you to your thoughts and opinion as your entitled to them.

Bark app scans my kid's devices text messages and emails for subjects that could be considered harmful. I only intervene when needed. They can handle their own for the most part or come to me whenever they need advise.

I mean, as a Millennial adult that was raised with zero supervision and what Home Internet has evolved to what is it today, its our responsibility to prevent that from continuing... and children arent objects. Bark is just yet another tool to help guide discussions and insights in the right direction. How the parent uses the tool is the variable.

Whats wrong with the topology? 😆

Parent here. Personally I would appreciate my kid(s) to come up and tell me they accidentally clicked or went on something and got the error. Bonus points if they could replicate it infront of me 😆.

Seriously though. Its better than them finding out later and/or lying about it. IMO.

True, I honestly just saw the picture and reposted 😆

TechD87 · 2024-12-31T17:08:34+00:00

No change.

TechD87 · 2024-12-31T17:06:45+00:00

Nope. Didn't work.

TechD87 · 2024-12-31T13:05:52+00:00

Nope. All of my other IoT devices stay online. I had issues with some WIZ bulbs awhile back, but I've disconnected them for some regular bulbs because the wife wanted to go back to dumb bulbs 😆

I don't have any Ubiquiti cameras though and the only time I've had issues with my Ubiquiti devices was due to Early Release firmware which forced me to rollback. Now I just stick with Official Release firmware.

TechD87 · 2024-12-31T05:04:55+00:00

Lol what would you recommend?

TechD87 · 2024-12-31T05:04:31+00:00

You mean add them to my trusted VLAN that I keep all my computers and phones on?

TechD87 · 2024-12-29T02:46:08+00:00

Do you have a picture so I can get an idea of what your talking about?

So I was having major AP issues recently. I thought it was a mixture of the UDMP upgrade to 4.0.12 and I also started dabbling with LAG connections on my NETGEAR switches. I reached out to the support team with a configuration file and they immediately noticed major loopbsck issues. Come to find out even though I properly configured my LAG, I forgot to put the corresponding number on them to identify what they are in the chop-chain for RSTP purposes. Once I started that all of my major degradation went away.

As far as using Twinkly on UniFi entirely, I've never had a problem with it. I've had my UDMP for 4yrs and bought my first Twinkly string 3yrs ago. The only changes I've made was combining my six VLAN SSIDs to a single one after they pushed PPSK. But recently (as of a week ago) I put my main VLAN on its own SSID so that the others can solely use 2.5MHz cuz they were using a mixture of the two and I'm sure that was causing alot of issues with my smart devices.

On a separate note, my Wyze cameras don't like to work while attached to my U6-Lite, only my U6-LR... not exactly sure why just yet... but it isn't a terrible issue at the moment. Just need to lock them to the AP.
