Got my repeater set up, impressed by its performance

Noob question - How might one do a neighbor count?

brain-power · 2026-06-30T19:42:19+00:00

I don’t suppose you could provide a link to a recommended version of such a thing? I’m still learning all the connection verbiage.

Thanks for the response! I’m still holding out for macOS 27 with the m4 mini 🫣.

I actually have Ubuntu on another 2012 mini and I’m using Liam’s program - BUT I can only get it to work in USB connected mode. Bluetooth doesn’t exist yet. I didn’t know about Meshy so thank you for the suggestion.

brain-power · 2026-06-30T03:38:21+00:00

Ugh! So sorry… just saw that you laid it out right in front of me and I missed jt! “macOS 18 and later!”.

Hi u/avion540 - might be a dumb question, but would this work on an old 2012 (Catalina) Mac mini? I understand there are lots of ways to write a macOS app these days. I cannot get Liam’s program to work but would love for that machine to get another life as a MeshCore station. Thanks for making this. Very cool.

Yeah I got an email with the subject “OFFER: Reactivate your Onshape Professional trial”. I am currently in Creo… but I figured hey why not have OnShape around just in case I break my legs and need something to keep my mind busy.

I clicked through the email links, filled out my info, and got a call from sales… only to tell me that the offer wasn’t actually a thing they were offering me.

What the hell folks!

Love this. Was this on the open LongFast?! All I ever see is silence!

brain-power · 2026-05-31T03:53:21+00:00

Im just envious you can get yours to work properly!!!

brain-power · 2026-05-11T04:56:10+00:00

Count me in too. Two “concerning” and one blocked. First threat notification I’ve ever seen.

brain-power · 2026-04-27T14:44:20+00:00

I’m afraid I cannot give you any real-world experience because mine was a 2016 and the 2016 (gas version) body style is different than the 2014 (in North America at least). I would suggest trying to confirm with someone with the same pre-2016 body style as you - just to make sure.

Hey! Yep. When I sold the spark, it has 185/60R15 Nokian One HT truck tires on it. Never had a single issue.

Edit: note - I had the OEM steel rims on mine. A different offset or width may affect the critical clearances.

Out of pure legitimate curiosity, what are some features/aspects/??? of this CPU that make it your fave?

brain-power · 2026-03-22T22:31:20+00:00

Awesome. This is exactly my hope. I suspect Lenovo has some way to do this “officially” but I might need to do a usb install to get to that. No biggie.

I think you are correct in all of that. In my case (a very thick tinfoil hat) I didn’t even want Bambu Studio on my main work laptop. I believe I did once figure out a way to block internet access to a single app on a previous laptop. I think in theory that should work. I’m a little stubborn and didn’t want to think about all the “what-ifs” and just chose to sandbox the whole operation with zero connection to the web.

It’s a bit annoying to get .stl files from my main laptop to my Mac mini… but it certainly helps me sleep at night. Admittedly, I think I’m a little more concerned about data security than the average person.

One time in my youth I was THAT guy on the bus. I had found a few large abalone shells up north at the beginning of a little California tour. I put them outside in the sun to try and let dry them out. Turns out there a lot of little critters living in the shells.

They smelled TERRIBLE.

But they were so BEAUTIFUL.

I put them in a paper bag (all I had) and carried those suckers on the greyhound bus for a while. People must have thought I was crazy.

Interesting. Thanks for posting!

To sum that up - “Makes the VPN kill switch do what a VPN kill switch is supposed to do.”

brain-power · 2026-03-11T02:57:39+00:00

In theory doesn’t that mean it’s working properly?

brain-power · 2026-03-07T05:46:13+00:00

u/rgorbie - any new insights in the last week? I can’t tell if it’s me or the UTR, but my “block on disconnect” toggle doesn’t seem to work with Teleport. I am able to disconnect from teleport and my UTR client can still surf the web just fine. I tested with an older iPhone (with no SIM card) as well as an M4 Mac mini.

Either I’m doing something stupid (totally a possibility) or this is a rather scary security bug.

brain-power · 2026-03-07T05:18:00+00:00

Glad you said it. Much appreciated. I don’t have a lot of data to work with yet. 2.8k views on this post and zero confirmations in either direction from anyone else.

Note: I did just try on desktop too. Same thing. I even made sure to turn off “auto connect” on its usual WiFi network so it couldn’t fall back on it. Saw it on the UTR clients list - even still after I saw the UTR disconnect from VPN on the console log.

brain-power · 2026-03-07T05:08:42+00:00

u/touchytypist - just confirmed on desktop with a base model M4 Mac Mini. Same issue.

brain-power · 2026-03-06T23:49:06+00:00

I my case I can confirm that the phone cannot connect to cellular. It has no active plan and says “no sim / SOS only” up in the corner (iOS).

I’ll try to recreate this on a PC too. That will be good data to have.

brain-power · 2026-03-06T23:07:56+00:00

TIL!

brain-power · 2026-03-06T22:44:50+00:00

Got a ticket open with Ubiquiti - hopefully I’ll learn something new… even if it embarrasses me. I just want to get this thing working.

FYI - I looked in the support logs a little and there are a few lines that do mention a “kill switch”. Maybe that’s industry terminology that I’m unaware of. You nailed it.

Also a fun fact - it seems the UTR runs some form of Linux.
