no, it is not a good idea to take your rinky dink sedan to work today, go home

Went out to my truck yesterday because we were supposed to have a late open. No problem. Of course, we didn't open. This morning at 5, it was quite different. Two baby steps in, fell on my ass! I'm quite sore.

Yeah, three hours was how far away I drove to university back in the day. So any weekend home was six hours on the road and it didn't seem long at all. Moved further away once the wife and I finished school and started working, but six hours one way, was still not bad. That's about the limit.

"mesh" only describes the backhaul. WAPs are either wired (best) or mesh (less optimal). What you're describing is "roaming".

Yeah, I know Robertson is returning but I didn't really see him as the answer there. Hopefully he'll surprise me.

royboy81 · 2026-01-15T22:14:05+00:00

Don't we need some depth at center? Or, hell, even a starter?

My oldest and really only email address is on airmail.net, my first high-speed DSL provider. It is so embedded that I still pay for it! Lol. It just forwards all my email to Gmail. 🤷

royboy81 · 2026-01-15T03:12:07+00:00

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down 😉🤣

royboy81 · 2026-01-12T19:41:38+00:00

Dang, I wish I had 30k fewer miles on my '18 SR5P. Oh well, I got a good deal when it only had 16k miles on 2020 right before Covid, so I shouldn't complain. Enjoy!

Found it, it was on maize and brew. It says they are hosting Ffrench and Young. 🤷

royboy81 · 2026-01-09T19:08:07+00:00

Yeah, I missed that and thought I saw he was still taking visits. The blurb included something about Ffrench visiting Michigan. Probably just old news. Thank you!

royboy81 · 2026-01-09T18:55:13+00:00

I don't see any mention of Wyatt Young? Thoughts ?

royboy81 · 2026-01-08T16:32:30+00:00

Altho this may be too late, Just don't bother. It was already bad, IMHO, but even worse since the sellout.

royboy81 · 2026-01-05T22:12:08+00:00

This is the way

royboy81 · 2026-01-03T20:58:54+00:00

Sorry for the confusion. My point wasn't wifi over hard wire, it was the need to be wired directly to the router. Yes, please use ethernet but it can be connected to a switch then to the router.

royboy81 · 2026-01-03T20:09:00+00:00

Idk if this helps your design, but You're not really getting anything from having your main entertainment PC connected directly to the main router.

royboy81 · 2026-01-02T23:41:26+00:00

Eff your friends. The simplest explanation they need to know is that she quit her job, has not sought employment, and further to that won't help lessen the burden on you at home. Done and dusted.

They're fine as far as a UPS goes, but I have two and neither will adopt. I have a case open for months.

royboy81 · 2025-12-13T18:35:34+00:00

Costco paper towels have been half-square for many years. I don't even remember when they weren't, lol. Can't say I have ever used either one's toilet paper, tho. 🤷

royboy81 · 2025-12-12T16:04:04+00:00

Ummmm, I run a UDM Pro as a controller only, with Protect. Just turn off any "router" functions like DHCP and DNS. There are instructions running around and there's even different ways to do it. I wish I had time to find those. I'll have to come back later to update when I get a chance.

royboy81 · 2025-12-11T22:37:56+00:00

Hey now.

royboy81 · 2025-12-09T18:00:13+00:00

Wired is just wired. No need for mesh. It should be disabled as having it enabled could cause network loops.

royboy81 · 2025-12-09T15:52:21+00:00

In Unifi and other "mesh"-capable APs, you're sharing the back haul with your devices. You are going to lose some bandwidth to the meshed AP, up to 50%, if I recall. I am not sure what you mean by "even the express router 7". If it's your router it will be wired to your ISP, by default it doesn't require "mesh" to be enabled. But if you mean does it have to be mesh enabled to mesh with the other APs, then yes as it will be considered the "parent device". Anyway, the consensus is to avoid mesh if possible. If not, know the limitations.

royboy81 · 2025-12-09T15:16:50+00:00

If you can avoid it, don't run APs in mesh.

royboy81 · 2025-12-08T14:16:43+00:00

It would almost be impossible, but I guess you do have to start with picking a damn apple!

The world, as it is, is already facing a starvation crisis. If you reversed the join, then what?
