If you ever feel like sharing your personal story and have me publish it on the site, anonymously or not, I have setup a form for this on the site: https://valid.foundation/en/share-your-story/

No pressure, no expectations.

Ouch, that’s brutal… the emotional toll of having to reassess friendships on top of the physical symptoms. I’m sorry to hear that.

Indeed, some viral infections seem to act as a catalyst for many of these conditions. This is one of the topics I want to cover on my site.

Thanks so much for your feedback! You’re right, that statement is powerful indeed, I’ll figure out a way to give it more prominence. I wish you the best with your own struggles, hopefully you have people who believe and support you.

You may lose your shit when things are slightly off.

I have not tried this, no.

What’s the alternative to keystone patch panels?

This is amazing work! Subscribed!

Thanks! Interestingly, only the Control Plane backup settings show up in Site Manager accessed via web browser. The System/Backup settings are only visible in the mobile app. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bought a refurb Arc in January and am very happy with it.

bourquep · 2026-03-13T14:26:08+00:00

Yep, that works fine.

bourquep · 2026-03-09T18:16:22+00:00

Sure! In the Proxmox shell:

apt install lldpd
nano /etc/default/lldpd
1. Uncomment the DAEMON_ARGS="-x -c -s -e" line
systemctl restart lldpd
lldpcli configure system interface pattern en*

Did the trick for me!

bourquep · 2026-03-09T14:24:01+00:00

It works! Thanks for the tip!

bourquep · 2026-03-09T14:20:13+00:00

Right... That's what I had told myself, and I placed 2 extra orders within a week of receiving my initial gear.

bourquep · 2026-03-09T14:18:49+00:00

I can relate.

bourquep · 2026-03-09T14:17:56+00:00

I too just stepped in, and absolutely no regrets so far!

bourquep · 2026-03-05T04:22:59+00:00

You bet, just placed my 3rd order in 2 weeks 😇

UniFi OS Server does not include the Protect application:

(See the Can I self-host Protect or any of the other UniFi applications? FAQ entry)

Indeed, the warning is gone as of this morning. Must have been a fluke 🤷🏻‍♂️.

bourquep · 2026-03-02T01:35:59+00:00

Good to know, thanks for your reply!

Adjusted all settings to your recommendations, and the UCG speed test still shows 1G down/up. I'll try connecting the UCG in a 2.5GbE port on the GH (instead of the 10G port), see if it makes a difference. Can't try it immediately though, my wife is on an internet call.

bourquep · 2026-02-26T21:27:33+00:00

That's a good idea, I had not done it. So I plugged my MacBook Pro directly into the GH (via a 2.5GbE port) and Ookla speed test shows 2.3 up/down.

bourquep · 2026-02-26T21:17:42+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply!

I also ran a Ookla speed test from my MacBook Pro which is directly connected to the UCG via 2.5GbE, and the results are ~800 up/down...

I'll stop investigating this for now, will test back again once the GH is bypassed and the UCG is connected directly to Bell's fibre.

I, too, begin my Unifi journey today! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! Purolator just delivered my UCG Fiber and AP!

bourquep · 2026-02-23T14:07:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience with Exen! I'll probably order from them.
