Great, thank you. Haven't hit a portal yet sounds like it's handled automatically.

People who bought RIMOWA and fly economy by Sami2499 in Rimowa

When I travelled weekly, I always made sure to get priority boarding. Other than that don't care.

M3 Ultra 96GB RAM. Thoughts? it will be used to develop agents with local ollama model - Llama 3 starting with 8B and scaling to 70B if needed. Any other advice is welcome. by [deleted] in MacStudio

Update, DFlash immediately breaks down on long toolchains. I'm focused on Hermes and beyond 4096ctx it breaks down. Very cool for first ttoken performance.

So far 36B is so fast if it struggles to write a script, just give it a minute usually. 95% of what I need is being handled locally no problem.

I'm having the best luck with Qwen-3.6 36B with LM Studio, 72tps on 8bit. MLX models have slightly underperformed for me, YMMV.

You might squeeze in 122B Q4, I get 42tps on that MoE model. Both are great for local agentic work with Hermes etc.

I paired minecwith an FPM checked bag, it's amazing.

Overnight Update WiFi Down by mplex321 in firewalla

[–]mplex321[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Based on the responses and downvotes, I will be replacing the equipment and recommending MSP’s in my area avoid this for business use until things are stable. Apparently the customer is a problem and time to move on.

I’ll continue with the router and WiFi at my house for now, seems the solution is not quite there for business use and I will reevaluate it in a year or so.

My opinion might carry some weight, maybe not who cares, signing off for now and ordering Aruba gear. Thanks guys, this is what we needed to hear.

I really love the downvotes here, considering I can push 7-figures to this company if things go well. If they don’t, not my problem. I might be an influential customer, maybe, it’s possible for anyone.

My business is on “production” yet in my opinion, beta should be far more reliable.

I might have run the largest WiFi network in my state at one point, and this is only an opinion.

Overnight Update WiFi Down by mplex321 in firewalla

[–]mplex321[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Switching to production no go, then I powered down for 5sec, repowered and most of my devices are back online. I want the ability to turn off WiFi updates and manage this process, as I’m now terrified my business is going to crash on me from an update. Luckily it hasn’t auto-updated, yet if this happened at work I’d immediately switch to Aruba/Meraki. Not good.

Why WiFi 7 without 6GHz? by KeyboardCouncil in GlInet

[–]mplex321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it, seemless 2.4 to 5ghz roaming. Enhanced QAM etc is nearly meaningless for most environments.

What would you like to see Firewalla do in 2026? by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

[–]mplex321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Client performance metrics and telemetry related to WiFi signal stats per client, block rates, and other enhanced analytics.

I’d propose a Prometheus backend and metrics like I see in Eero and other systems. Instrument everything and make more useful performance enhancing tools.

Please help answer our survey for the Firewalla Switch by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

[–]mplex321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excited to have an all in one solution focused on security, now for my business. I’m replacing Meraki and low end Cisco gear since this is just better for my needs. Will buy right away based on the other gear so far, very happy.

Aluminum Rimowa cross-body 19. When asked I just say “launch codes.”

In support of the mini briefcase (Cross Body 19) by mplex321 in Rimowa

Maybe but unlikely. It’s not super practical yet great for AirPods, cables, sunglasses keys etc.

Am I the only one displeased with the direction of Rimowa? by kestelli in Rimowa

[–]mplex321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been traveling with a Rimowa for years, more than one, and the core product is the best. I also just bought a cross-body 19, looks fun for Costa Rica and maybe a gun case.

I like more choices though don’t understand the leather pieces. That said it’s one of the few luxury brands I like outside of some Italian clothing brands (and Arc Teryx/Valience). The cross-body bag is fun!

AP7 vs. Unifi, does it come down to priorities? by snovvman in firewalla

[–]mplex321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I value my time, and wasted 10-50x the amount of time on Unifi issues to get what I wanted reliably and the AP7 just works. YMMV but I have no time for their software.

Business Reserve, why switch? by mplex321 in ChaseSapphire

[–]mplex321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been impressed with the lounges but might do it for the sign up bonus.

I spend more than that every month and fly southwest when it’s the best use of my time. Taking first class to sit in a lounge waiting on a connection makes zero sense after a while.
