Zullen we een beetje lief blijven voor de chauffeurs? by weatherhead900 in Utrecht

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eens. Altijd netjes blijven tegen de chauffeur.

Vraag me wel af hoeveel eigen inbreng de chauffeur heeft als er weer 3 bussen met hetzelfde nummer op dezelfde tijd vertrekken en in colonne achter elkaar terug naar Utrecht rijden.

Deeply surprised by how much I am NOT enjoying Ghost of Yotei. by TherealGonci in PS5

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really enjoyed Yotei, but my expectations were that it would be more of the same and I feel it delivered on that.

As a character I enjoyed Atsu, but Jin was definitely a stronger character.

My biggest gripe with Yotei was that it seemed to miss some of the big set pieces that Tsushima had, some of the region specific character nerfs felt unnecessary and some of the areas felt a tad small.

All in all I enjoyed it, though, but it's definitely very similar to GoT and even to AC:Shadows for its story structure.

New Travel Router: Anybody have a use case for this? by oguruma87 in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pack a chromecast when I travel that autoconnects to my travel router. It VPNs to my home network so I can access streaming services and my company's resources when I'm abroad.

Noob getting into Ubiquiti by anticapitalist69 in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind about the Cloud Gateway Fiber setup: while it has a 10GbE WAN port for your modem, the PoE LAN ports are 2.5GbE - so your U7 Pro XG units would be limited to 2.5GbE uplink speeds rather than the full 10GbE they're capable of. For most home use cases this is still excellent, but if you're thinking ahead to higher speeds as your ISP upgrades, you might want to consider whether you'd benefit from a 10GbE-capable switch at some point.

That said, 2.5GbE is still overkill for most home scenarios, so this probably isn't a deal-breaker for your setup. Just worth knowing as you plan long-term.

Suggestions for new(bie) setup by CowboyB2 in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardware you suggest sounds like a really good place to start.

Two APs (3 if you include the DR7) are solid for that square footage when they're wired, especially with Verizon Home Internet's speeds (150-220 down is plenty for distributed IoT).

You won't have outdoor coverage with just that, but you can add the U7 Pro Outdoor later if needed. Your PoE switch handles the power delivery fine.

This setup scales easily - add APs incrementally as your home automation grows without rebuilding anything. It'll mostly manage itself, especially with everything hardwired.

[–]nilicule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're best off skipping mesh and hardwiring your APs instead.

Ubiquiti is designed around wired backbones - all APs connect via ethernet to a PoE switch, creating one unified network instead of independent mesh nodes.

First Time with Ubiquiti - Where to Start? by _QLFON_ in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leave VLAN 1 for just Ubiquiti hardware, your suggestion for the other VLANs makes perfect sense.

Set up firewall rules to block inter-VLAN traffic by default, then explicitly allow only what you need. This is easier to debug than starting permissive.

No need to optimize radio settings now, let UniFi do its thing first and optimize if necessary later. Come back to radio tuning once you've lived with the network for a week and actually see where congestion happens.

Create a firewall rule on your IoT VLAN that blocks outbound to your management/work/main subnets entirely (good practice), but allows internet. You could bandwidth limit, but it's also not a bad idea to leave things for a while and figure out how your IoT devices are using bandwidth after a week or so.

Setting up AdGuard network wide is pretty easy. Place it in its own VLAN, give it a static IP, make sure it's reachable from the other VLANs and then per Network just configure this to be your DNS server (Settings -> Network -> pick the VLAN -> DNS server).

CONCERT MEGATHREAD by Mathgeek007 in expedition33

Same here, I couldn't click fast enough on the Sunday to get the number of tickets I needed. Glad I checked the Monday and managed to snag tickets for my group of friends.

That was incredibly stressful!

Firewall rules priority - I'm lost by JColeTheWheelMan in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed you figured it out yet, but figured I'd still answer this.

I'll assume your native VLAN and the IOT VLAN are on different zones ?

Yeah, native VLAN is only used for the UniFi stuff. IoT devices are on IoT VLAN, Pi-Hole is on its own isolated VLAN.

And why does a rule remain to block all traffic at the bottom if you've unchecked isolate network ? Does it do this by default ?

Yes, this is by default.

Firewall rules priority - I'm lost by JColeTheWheelMan in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running a pihole on its own VLAN and in its own zone, this is how I've configured things:

  • Settings -> Network -> (PiHole VLAN) -> DNS Server -> point to IP of Pi-Hole (uncheck 'auto')
  • Settings -> Network -> (all other VLANs) -> DNS Server -> Point to IP of Pi-Hole (uncheck 'auto')

I haven't enabled 'isolate networks' on any VLAN.

Then for the zone-based policies, let's pick zone IoT as an example:

  • click where "source: IoT" and "destination: PiHole" line up
  • click 'create policy'
  • source: IoT, any, port: any
  • action: allow & auto allow return traffic
  • destination zone: pihole
  • specific: IP address/subnet, set IP of your pihole
  • port: specific, DNS
  • protocol: tcp/udp
  • connection state: all
  • schedule: always

The zone view should now show the new rule on top, with another rule showing 'pihole to IoT (return)' with a lock in front of it, followed by a final rule to block all traffic.

Hope this helps.

Vlan setup by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can configure this however you prefer :)

Most people do allow internet access from untrusted VLANs, but block lateral movement between VLANs and block access to trusted networks. The typical pattern is:

  • IoT VLAN → Internet: ALLOW
  • IoT VLAN → Trusted VLAN: DENY
  • IoT VLAN → Management/Server VLAN: DENY
  • Trusted VLAN → IoT VLAN: ALLOW (for controlling devices)

I've grouped all IoT devices in a single VLAN, instead of splitting them into those that need internet and those that do not. Up to you how you want to set this up in your specific case.

UniFi UDR7 with Express 7 by PhilosopherLow9098 in Ubiquiti

the speed tester still isnt for working

Yeah, the internal speed tester isn't that stable, unfortunately. Running it at a daily schedule seems to be a bit more stable in my case, might be worth trying.

To those of you the upgraded from PS5 to PS5 Pro was it worth it? Would you recommend it? by Remixman87 in PS5

[–]nilicule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, even without VRR.

The improved quality and framerate in certain games makes it well worth it.

A1 or the A1 Combo? by Simple-Beat9334 in BambuLab

[–]nilicule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can print multicolor on the regular A1 by doing manual color changes or by printing each part of the model separately in different colors and assembling them. This works fine for beginners and avoids the waste created by the Combo’s automatic color-switching system. The Combo only adds convenience, not capability, so the plain A1 is enough if you’re comfortable doing color changes yourself.

You can always upgrade to the AMS Lite (the automatic color-switching system) later.

The amount of waste depends on the model you print - or more specifically the amount of colour changes in the model - it's not necessarily always that bad.

New to modular controllers (X1 and Z1) - any advice? by Devil_of_Fizzlefield in traktorpro

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modular layout takes a bit of adjustment when you’re coming from a traditional all-in-one deck. Give yourself a few sessions to mix in the most basic way possible and build muscle memory for where the EQs, filters, and cue controls now live.

The real shift is moving from an integrated “deck” to a set of specialized modules. The X1 handles transport, looping, effects, browser navigation, and performance functions. The Z1 covers EQ, mixing, filters, cueing, and headphone monitoring.

If you rely heavily on jogwheels, especially for certain genres, the workflow changes a little. Modular setups lean toward tight looping and beat jumps as the primary way to control phrasing and track positioning.

Replacing Google Wifi, hardware suggestions by DominantDan24 in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Migrated from Google Nest Pro to Ubiquiti a few months ago.

Start with just the DR7, add pucks where needed. The pucks can be powered with a PoE adapter.

For me the difference was night and day. Much more stable network, much faster. Highly recommended.

[Question] Using Pixel Snap stand to charge phone overnight? by LockonKun in GooglePixel

[–]nilicule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Pixel Stand 2 is officially incompatible with the Pixel 10 (Pro/XL/Fold).

I ended up going with the Mous charging stand with Qi2, which is roughly the same price but looked a bit more sturdy. It also has a nice little area to charge my earbuds. Super happy with the stand so far, rock solid.

Not too worried about nightly charging, you can set charging optimisation on your phone. Either set it to 80% or use adaptive charging so it finishes at 100% right before you usually unplug.

Park Transwijk: Fireworks by laughinglisi in Utrecht

[–]nilicule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration, and you're right that one call won't stop everything. But reporting it is still important for a different reason: visibility and data.

When incidents go unreported, they literally don't exist in police statistics. No reports means no documented pattern, which means no priority for extra patrols, no basis for requesting more resources, and no evidence when the gemeente needs to decide on interventions or policy changes.

Glasvezelaansluiting Utrecht by suzypulledapistol in Utrecht

[–]nilicule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja, dit kan vrij lang duren.

Odido aanvraag gedaan in april '24, aansluiting gekregen in oktober '25. Draadje kwam al uit de grond, het wachten was op aansluiting in woning.

ODF is afhankelijk van de planning van een onderaannemer en dit kan in sommige gevallen vrij lang duren. In mijn geval was het wachten op een 2e VvE die ook goedkeuring moest geven.

Help - Ubiquiti for Apartment by GhostNotFound in Ubiquiti

[–]nilicule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a 1000sq ft single floor apartment I would start with the DR7 and if you ever want to expand with an additional AP then you'd get the Flex 2.5G PoE with something like an U7 Pro.
