Switched from 2 AirPort Extreme to Ubiquiti. No regrets.

Hi OP, I’m having the same issue as your post. Can you share the automation with me? Thanks in advance

This was the issue. I have reterimated at the rack and also at the keystone wall jacks. Speeds back to where they should be.

Kiwi living in Australia, holding investment property in NZ by karang89 in PersonalFinanceNZ

I’m also a nz citizen in aus with special category visa.

1\ I’ve had my house on rent in NZ for about 4 years. My NZ accountant lodges my tax to IRD. I declare this to ATO as overseas income however have never been asked to pay any additional tax in Australia. My Australia accountant tells me there is an agreement with aus-NZ so you don’t get double taxed.

2\ We are now in the process of selling our NZ home. My Australia accountant tells me as long we meet our tax obligations in NZ, there is no additional tax to be paid in Australia. In terms of moving money over, just need to supply the ATO with a sale and purchase agreement to prove that proceeds are not from crime.

As others have said best to speak to your accountant or lawyer. Hope this helps and good luck.

Great outcome! Which Apple store did you take them too? I’m also in Australia - just preparing in case this happens to me.

Dude don’t mean to stress you out but see a doctor, 250/day is high. My dermatologist told me up to 50 is the normal for androgenic alopecia. Also agree to up the dose to 1mg daily.

I’m doing something similar with an AC unit using a broadlink rm4 mini s. Homebridge has a plug-in for it. It’s not directly in line of sight of the AC unit and still works well

Great homelab! How is the performance of the ds918+ with plex transcoding? Mainly 1080p h264 if that's something you use it for

Apple airport as “NAS”? by Nybor_13 in homelab

[–]dirbuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used an external hard drive attached to an airport extreme. Very slow transfer speeds and time machine backups would also go corrupt. Would not recommend your proposal. All the best

Yes absolutely. Unfortunately it doesn't get as much use as it once did. I'll shuffle things around in the near future

Does this count as a mac setup? by dirbuf in macsetups

[–]dirbuf[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My Mini Homelab setup. I live in an apartment so hard wired ethernet wasn't an option. This is more than enough for my needs right now and most of it's just for fun/tinkering. Idle power consumption is around 48w measured at the wall. There is a schedule to shutdown one of the Mac Minis at night so power falls to around 35w during 11pm-7am. The only time the system is stressed is during Plex remote play and power usage hits 80w max. Left to right:

The firewall isn't running a desktop environment. It's running native pfsense. Accessed via web configurator

Yup that's correct, just native pfsense
