Well I’m glad that the unifi APs like your setup better than they liked mine. Maybe they fixed it in the last 2 years. Either way there’s no way I’m buying anything else from them.

Good luck if you don’t have a dream machine and you aren’t using 192.168.0.0/16. If the APs don’t find a dream machine they won’t get an IP from DHCP for some godforsaken reason and revert to 192.168.1.20 and won’t do anything until you configure them with ssh. Except you have to ssh on a lan that doesn’t exist which is a huge pita. This is why I have omada APs now.
Doesn’t really help when control facilities are so short staffed that they have controllers working ridiculous amounts of mandatory overtime. Might well make the problem worse when they need even more overtime shifts to make up for increased rest. They need to hire more and pay way more.
For what it’s worth, just about every panel like this is certified to have a specific number of fasteners missing. A lot of the time there will be some other qualifiers such as not missing the leading fastener or not missing adjacent fasteners. Having a bunch in a row like this incident would probably not be ok, but I couldn’t say without the maintenence manual.
Looks like an airforce trainer, probably had some sort of malfunction. Looks like it landed back at Shepard AFB. I wouldn’t worry about it, minor emergencies happen fairly regularly.
For network cables, FS.com. Their specialty is fiber optics and they have good transceivers and cables for really cheap prices and they also sell a tool to flash vendor info onto transceivers so if you have some picky proprietary box you can still use generic transceivers with it. Their copper products, DACs, regular cat6 patch cables, etc are good too. I haven’t tried their NICs or switches though.
Well yesterday I was on the clock for 12.5 hours, 7 hrs was spent operating equipment, ~3hrs on prep and clean up and the rest of the time was spent waiting for the next task. A pretty typical day for me. Today is my last day of my 5 days on and I have 4 days off.
I have a used 2016 super micro server. It was $600, has 2 18 core/36 thread cpus and 256 GB of DDR4 and 12 HDD hot swap trays. It also idles at 180 watts. Way over kill but I have cheap electricity and it’s nice being able to spin up a vm with just about any specs I could want. If I got some more normal cpus it would probably burn a good bit less power.
Cloudflare if you want one of the handful of TLDs they support, namecheap otherwise. For namecheap I still point the nameservers at Cloudflare so they can manage the site. For DDNS I use DDclient, it works, that’s about all I can or should say about a DDNS client.
I used to not be able to sleep on airliners, but then I got a job that required I fly on one once a week. By far the best way to make time pass fast.
I appreciate all of the weird instance names in here
I prefer to use a local DNS for internal services just so there is less publically available information about my internal network. No need to let everyone know what address space I use or which vlan certain services are on. Also means you don’t have to wait for public DNS servers to update.
My bank gives me 0.02% on my savings account with them. My credit union gives me 3.94% on my checking account. I keep the minimum in the bank so I can use their other services, my CU only has ATMs near me.
