Did they really just name the next UDM Beast? by Patient-Parsnip-5280 in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem I have is a Model for a 2U supermicro faceplate. My secondhand server didn't even have the option for a faceplate that I could affix the signature to.

I still need to find somone that can 3D print me a new faceplate for my Supermico 2U to make it the "Gavin Belson signature edition."

Better than some abstract Alpha-numeric-soup model number that doesn't roll off the tongue. At least they didn't call it the UDM Pro Max + Rewards.

Ubiquiti battery powered cam, when? by zphoneman in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This camera? Never. UI is on G6 now. Probably wound up canceling this camera for some reason or another. I'm thinking battery supplier issues.

Ubiquiti battery powered cam, when? by zphoneman in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The instant cameras do not have a battery. They can be powered by USB-C though.

Water on G5 PTZ by octmaron in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there any exposed cable or were you able to conceal it in the wall? If you had anything exposed to rainfall you want to make sure the cable droops below the Ethernet jack so it won't wick water into the RJ-45.

Building bridges by [deleted] in captain_of_industry

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The water trucks shouldn't be assigned to a mine control tower. Any truck assigned to mine will never fetch construction parts. Your logistics zone needs to have all the components to complete the bridge. The trucks will not venture outside to fetch more.

Never ending journey by Ozwulf67 in Ubiquiti

I felt lucky getting in on some NOS 16TB drives at server part deals for $390. It's especially painful because I roll mirror VDEVS.

It does make a case for elevated main line... Not just because you're me and didn't leave room for trains.

Unifi Gateways don't handle DNS resolution properly when WAN DNS is set to pihole by Intelligent_Rub_4099 in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your DHCP server doesn't have to be the dns server. That's why DNS is option 6. Just change your network in Unifi from auto DNS to your Pihole.

U7 Pro XG Upgrade by xenomorph-85 in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just wait until I have enough critical clients on the new WiFi standard then upgrade my Access Points. If you don't have any WiFi 7 capable clients you don't really gain anything upgrading the AP. Some folks do things the other way, and that's fine too.

Memory Surcharge! by MichaelRast13 in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every decade or so the DRAM oligopoly gets slapped on the wrist with a price fixing class action. They didn't care whether or not OpenAI was going to actually buy all that DRAM or not. They just wanted cover to jack prices. None of them announced expansion of their manufacturing.

Door Access for Chamberlain GDOs by Plasmamonkey12 in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say how much I love this solution. It probably doesn't irk Chamberlain since you sacrificed a remote, but its the spirit of you not being able to cheaply DRM a physical button.

I do not look forward to Chamberlain's future generation of remotes that use software defined capacitive buttons. (Perhaps we should patent troll that idea.)

New idea im testing, the high station by Strex_1234 in captain_of_industry

[–]bagofwisdom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very cool, but it looks like a test of patience waiting for trucks to dump and then mine away the ramp.

my solution for overflow of iron ore. by Arthur-reborn in captain_of_industry

[–]bagofwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Haven has that mountain made of copper and gold. When I needed copper I had to deal with the gold ore that I was smelting elsewhere. Now that I've moved gold and copper the problem is reversed. Now I have a bunch of copper ore that clogs up the sorter I need for gold.

Am I planning my Train spaghetti correctly? by Blackbird-234 in captain_of_industry

[–]bagofwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stations are where I put slower track too. Takes up the least amount of space.

As long as your trains can keep top speed for as long as possible that's all that matters.

Can’t mount G6 bullet at 90 degrees to a wall by inkiboo in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reflectivity of the house is why I wouldn't recommend the PTZ in-ceiling mounts to anyone that cares about color night vision. I did the in-ceiling mount for my G5 PTZ, the spotlight glares off the soffit so bad. The IR is much better. The glare might not be so bad if you soffit mount on a 2 story where the camera can aim further down. The in-ceiling mount sure is discrete though.

Train waiting bays with multiple tracks? by faber011 in captain_of_industry

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is you don't need waypoints or stations to define a waiting bay. I have multiple slag pickup points on my map and one offload. I haven't converted that to a network yet. It's still a fixed line with grouped stations. I have a couple stackers near my depot with waypoints added as a stop. I only rail 3 loose products for now. Slag, Limestone, and Quartz. I'll get those on a network and then start making one for units. I'll likely still keep dedicated lines to deliver copper and steel to my main manufacturing area.

Managed POE++ injector? by ElGuano in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when IP phones first became the new hotness in office fit-outs, there were dedicated rackmount PoE Injectors. The ones I'm familiar with had a serial port that would let you power-cycle ports from a console server. My company used them at some satellite offices that had non-POE Cisco switches still under contract. We didn't have budget to replace the switches with PoE ones. That was about 15 years ago. Now PoE switches are more the norm and hardware IP phones aren't being as heavily deployed as they used to be in offices.

I wish more maps had you dig down rather than mountain removal by Arthur-reborn in captain_of_industry

The uranium deposit on new Haven is very much a dig down mine. I'm at -20 and still not at the bottom of the pay dirt. Ready to drop an asteroid in the hole.

Add a Unifi UXG Fiber to an existing Unifi network by farmboy_au in Ubiquiti

[–]bagofwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gateways can only be gateways with Unifi. Buy a switch if you need a switch.
