  • A lot of negativity around Ubiquity in here, which is surprising to me, honestly. I had their USG for years and loved it, recently swapped it out for the Dream Machine and love it. Really don’t understand the complaints about linking it to the cloud. I just didn’t bother, everything works fine. Additionally, I managed to get a Debian container running on it and installed ntopng, it’s been awesome for getting realtime visibility into my network traffic.

    E. I should add I have 6 of their switches and 3 access points, one of which is at least 7 years old and still receiving updates.





  • They’re not detached, they’re playing a different game. The game of the greedy little piggies.

    If I give you a raise, well, it just might get out that we give raises around here! Suddenly, I got all these, lazy, do nothing greedy little piggies asking for more money! That 5k becomes 20k, then 50k, etc.! My hard earned slop is drying up quick!

    But if I hire someone new, I send the exact opposite message. We don’t do raises here, and if you don’t like it, we have no trouble replacing you, greedy little piggie!













  • It probably has to do with being native ipv6 and needing to ride a 6to4 nat to reach the broader internet.

    Start at 1400 and walk the MTU down by ~50 until you find stability, then id creep it back up by 10 to find the ‘perfect’ size, but that part isn’t really needed if you’re impatient. :)

    E. I found 1290 was needed for reliable VPN over an ATT nighthawk hotspot.




  • Latency plays a big role in throughput. If one download target was ‘closer’, i.e. lower latency, it will be able to scale the windowsize higher, therefore allowing more data to flow through for a given connection. Imagine network packets are envelopes and data is paper. Not all envelopes can carry the same amount of paper for a given connection, and the more paper you stuff in your envelope, the faster the transfer completes.
