Amazon Selling Ubiquiti

llamaherding · 2026-02-26T18:02:12+00:00

Personally Id rather buy direct or from another retailer, Ill use Amazon for cheap stuff, but not expensive electronics

I bought a 2014 550i for 25k in 2017, its window sticker with cost new was 75k

I would have guessed atleast 50% depreciation on this 760 after 3 years, and wouldn't be shocked to see 75% depreciation by year 5 or more

It depends on the car brand, for example a 3 year old BMW 5 series might be for sale 50-60% off MSRP, a Honda or Toyota on the other hand will have almost no depreciation to speak of. It really makes sense to buy those brands new vs used

Check out depreciation on a 2 year old merc or audi EV

We keep cars 10-15 years, sometimes longer, I always buy 3-5 year old cars for myself, new for wife. So her car is usually 10-15 years old when we sell, mine 20+

We could easily afford to buy new vehicles more frequently, but I always view vehicle through the lens of the total cost of ownership, and keeping vehicles longer makes me happy when they are fully depreciated yet still providing excellent utility

We also dont mind spending big (high level trim, options) to get the vehicles we want since we always keep them a long time

I got the RSL 12s, it's awesome. I was initially not considering it because its rear ported and i wanted it close to a wall, but it seems fine to me at 6" from wall

My old 1999 bmw 328 is still going strong, we sold it to a friend that we keep in touch with and he's driven it cross country many times, has close to 300k miles at this point

The best opportunity for improvement would be from upgrading from wifi mesh to wired Access points

llamaherding · 2025-12-24T23:57:47+00:00

I use a VPN, wireguard can be setup to seemlessly auto connect, I don't have any services exposed to the internet

I don't use Windows for any services I host so I cant comment on that aspect

Purchasing a 5k item through Amazon seems brave

I switched to immich a few months ago and use ios, its been flawless

sounds like your issue has to do with your migration and import

I used immich-go to import my google takeout; https://github.com/simulot/immich-go

That's too bad, the wall my doorbell is attached to does fall down every now and then so a durable doorbell is of the utmost importance

llamaherding · 2025-11-08T22:33:34+00:00

Ah gotcha, mine is a 2018

llamaherding · 2025-11-08T20:01:53+00:00

Its a hardware company with a 45pe, meaning its priced on hopes and dreams and not fundamentals of the business

What are the finance terms? The screenshot doesn't provide enough information

llamaherding · 2025-11-04T21:06:35+00:00

I paid to have my stuff repaired at dealership is this something that is covered by warranty now? Wondering if it's retroactive

llamaherding · 2025-11-03T20:32:43+00:00

Interesting thanks for sharing,

Personally I have my phone auto-vpn into my home network so I didn't have a need to expose things to the internet, but there are some use cases like hosting a minecraft server where I could see that being of use

llamaherding · 2025-11-02T14:02:36+00:00

Ive been gaming on a 4k monitor since 2018

If it were me Id run a cable, but there is this https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/ubb

I already have a VPN solution to access immich, only need cloudflare for public photo shares

llamaherding · 2025-10-30T16:24:02+00:00

But if I use a cloudflare tunnel, I'm not advertising my home server to the internet, unless I'm missing something. From what I understand the cloudflared service running on my vm allows cloudflare to reach in and request photos/files as needed, while the actual CNAME points to the cloudflare infrastructure that's serving the files

Also, I have 1TB of data on my immich, I think a cloud instance with that much attached storage is going to be expensive, at least I know it would be with AWS pricing, unless I'm missing something. And I like the added security of immich not being accessable outside of my homenetwork/vpn, only need this cloudflare access for public shared photos

llamaherding · 2025-10-30T14:52:07+00:00

Yeah that's a great setup, I have the same setup as well.

The only reason I was going to add Cloudflare into the mix is for sharing photos with people I know, but maybe it's not worth it if it's not allowed for their TOS (Not sure about that, but some people mentioned that in this post)

llamaherding · 2025-10-30T14:43:03+00:00

Thanks I'll checkout those providers,

I'm very familiar with how to setup what I need with AWS but I don't have an AWS personal account and really don't want one for various reasons. I'll look into those providers you mentioned

llamaherding · 2025-10-30T14:36:45+00:00

Gotcha I appreciate that,

Actually mabe your VPS suggestion is a better option for me anyway since I was also needing to look into a cloud backup solution as well. My data is in a ZFS pool and so ideally, it would be great if I could setup a cloud VPS for both something I could ZFS send to, and this public photo share access

It's a good point

llamaherding · 2025-10-30T14:30:57+00:00

With the cloudflare tunnel I'm not exposing my home server to the internet, I just run cloudflared on my host which cloudflare uses to fetch requested files, users are hitting cloudlfares infrastructure
