  • If you were actually able to set it up via ssh, then you should be able to point me to the documentation for the Ubiquity AP cli.

    I’m not sure if you are a fanboi or a shill but it is dishonest to claim that you say you could configure your Ubiquity AP when Ubiquity itself refuses to provide documentation of the cli interface.

    Another poster said the same thing and linked to the same thread I found years ago which says in effect, “There is no official cli documentation for the APs. You might be able to sneak a few commands by digging through the forums.”





  • I bought several before knowing what I was getting into. They work well but are designed by people worshiping Apple. Everything is locked into their ecosystem. You can’t even ssl into the access point to configure it. You need to run their Java controller app to configure them or worse buy another product (cloud key) just to configure the access points you purchased. Then they try really hard to get you to setup your network admin password on their cloud servers ( they have already had security breaches where the passwords leaked).

    For a small businesses that pay someone off-site to manage their network they seem fantastic. But they are the opposite of homelab ethos.

    But again, they work really well. The access points do channel strength negotiation automatically every night by talking to each other.










  • 2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.

    For 8 years, Linux had the same limitations as Windows. Then for 2 years it was ahead. Pae could always be turned back on with a boot switch. Going back 25 years to criticize Windows is kind of weird but you do you.

    (I run Linux on a variety of PCs, SBC’s, and VM’s in my house. I just get annoyed by unjustified Linux fanboyism.)





  • The Manhattan project took 2.5 years. It involved mining 18.8 million pounds of uranium. 10 Cyclotron factories of 20 cyclotrons for 22,000 workers were built in 6 months to separate the uranium.

    It boils down to collecting all the building equipment from around the world and sending it to where you want to build the pyramid.

    50,000 people cutting stone while 50,000 heavy construction equipment operators move the stones would take 2 months.

    So it’s really down to resources. If it was a Manhattan Project level of resources thrown at building a Pyramid, I’d wild guess 3 months.
