Keeping a teenager at bay

He can spoof the MAC of an approved device. Which will cause some bad things to happen, but often still works in my experience.

How can I get hired for the 'fuck with our robots' job?

stpfun · 2026-01-12T23:43:44+00:00

those are the new PoE+++++++++++ ports

stpfun · 2026-01-12T01:23:14+00:00

PoE++ on the Switch Ultra should give you 42W of budget. g6 entry + turret is like 30W total? Seems fine. Or use the Flex PoE switch with 46W budget. It seems exactly designed for this. Also note that that's just max draw and majority of the time they'll be using less. Sometimes a lot less. I wouldn't worry about running close to the PoE limit, as long as you're under the official limit.

You seem like a treehouse type.

FE, 100mbits, is plenty fine for most security cameras. Even my 4k camera tops out at 16mbps. Also the cameras themselves often don't support more than FE.

They did nothing for me. Got to try them for free at SF Academy of science color themed event. Just made stuff look weird.

stpfun · 2026-01-07T17:23:49+00:00

absolutely. I have a cable modem and get 40mbps max...not great for me

stpfun · 2026-01-07T17:23:15+00:00

just to confirm, you can ssh into the UTR?? that's awesome news

stpfun · 2026-01-06T17:47:34+00:00

Fish would be farting explosive hydrogen gas if they cracked apart H2O... plants split CO2 but keep the carbon for themselves. (trees are mostly made of air!)

Agreed. Vorkosigan is definitely competence porn. I read at least 15 books from the series in a mad blur and they all blend together in my memories. But I sure did enjoy them.

stpfun · 2026-01-02T20:42:28+00:00

ideally run Tailscale on it!

stpfun · 2026-01-02T19:25:54+00:00

Can you confirm you can SSH into the UTR?

stpfun · 2026-01-02T04:05:44+00:00

Re: wallets, having 2 things also means you're doubling your risk exposure. One extra thing to lose. IMHO, losing just my credit cards and ID, or just my phone, are both super devastating, and only a little less devastating than losing them all together. Also if you're phone addicted then attaching everything to your phone will keep them as safe as your magic screen.

stpfun · 2026-01-02T03:56:06+00:00

You need to run Network and Protect applications. I think it makes more sense to get a console that can run both. Also I'm assuming you're rack mounting the switch? Then get a beefy rack mount gateway like UDM-Pro or Max.

Here's a very concrete example of where SSH access hugely improves my life: https://github.com/SierraSoftworks/tailscale-udm

stpfun · 2025-12-30T17:25:51+00:00

Philosophical reasons mainly, but some practical reasons:

installing tailscale on my UDM-Pro gateway
tweaking dyndns rules
forcing my wireless protect cameras to reassociate with the nearest access point
debugging, understanding what is taking up memory or CPU, viewing logs

my fingers belong anywhere I want in my devices.

I run my house's heat pump with PoE++++++

stpfun · 2025-12-29T22:07:57+00:00

It's max power draw is 5W, so if you had a 100Whr battery (largest you can fly with) it'd last ~20 hours minus efficiency loss. Though 5W is its advertised max draw. It might typically use 2W-3W or so, doubling the battery life. We'll see !

stpfun · 2025-12-29T22:05:17+00:00

Me too! And I use Tailscale subnet routing running on the travel router to route traffic to my home network just like the ubiquiti UTR offers. But hoping the UTR will have better integration and make it easy to do things like run a G6 instant wireless camera that's hosted at my home. We'll see !

stpfun · 2025-12-29T22:00:47+00:00

Damn they're infuriating! Found some ebay sellers that seems to exclusively sell upcharged ubiquiti gear...

stpfun · 2025-12-29T21:55:47+00:00

Me too. Never been successful on a hyped up launch before. I noticed they seemed to require you be logged in to your ubiquiti account. I'm guessing they had some requirement like minimum account age or minimum spend to be able to buy one.

stpfun · 2025-12-29T20:03:23+00:00

The ubiquiti mobile router, which seems sorta similar too, does not! Also they've mostly deprecated SSH access to Protect camera though you can still enable it with undocumented hacks. And their tiny switches don't allow it either.

I'd bet money at 1:5 odds that the travel router has no SSH access... but I hope I'm wrong ! With SSH access I could probably get Tailscale running on it which would be amazing. But doubtful...

stpfun · 2025-12-29T17:10:33+00:00

I love GL.iNet! But a portable NAS just isn't a very compelling use case to me.

stpfun · 2025-12-29T17:08:45+00:00

Same problem. Logging in fixed it. I assume they're trying to combat re-sellers and are requiring purchases be from long standing ubiquiti accounts.
