  • Thats understandable and fair, some US/publicly traded companies are kinda nutsy nowadays.

    At first I was also drawn with Mikrotik but setting them up is a bit…yea, I’m not thrashing them, it just made me realize “do i really want to spend a lot of time setting this up?”

    but don’t get me wrong, they’re amazing. I’ve seen my cousin doing his ISP business with 1000+ clients using their CCR line up and the cost to perf ratio is crazy.


  • most of their stuff are local, unless you have activated remote access on your unifi controller which will require an online account on unifi (ui.com)

    i only have their aps and my unifi controller is hosted on a local machine, and so far i haven’t found any suspicious queries from them, i havent done any packet trace or port checks because they seem ok for me

    where the unifi controller hosted on a deb machine

    one of the ap

    as for access control, if your unifi controller is hosted on a local machine then it will just use specific ports that ubiquiti utilizes that im not familiar with (or too lazy to do a port scan). you may also host your controller online via hostifi or other providers or a diy cloud server (if you’re onto that)

    for updates, unifi controller will notify you if there are updates but its still up to the controller admin if they decided to do so.

    as for janked device configs, i mostly experienced it on controller version 6.x.x and 7.x.x but not on most recent one (9.x.x) and yes it requires a unifi controller admin acct, you may also do scheduled backups of your configs so you can revert back just in case. and if you have no choice then you could locate device > poke reset > re provision on controller.


  • most or should i rather say all of fridge nowadays has “auto defrost” systems that lets you forget about drain pans. Initially, most would think that it is a neat design in which the heated freon pipe passes over the drainpan and evaporates the defrosted liquid/water.

    unfortunately, thats a very nasty design, its like a ticking timebomb that forces you to purchase a new fridge every <10 yrs

    the copper freon pipe would go on a cycle of heating up, getting exposed to water, dries up and repeates the cycle over and over. Take note that metal + water + air = rust

    and these rust can cause freon leaks and makes your fridge useless, also, these fixes costs like MF(almost half the price of a bnew fridge)

    I would advise DIYing a flexible tube on its drain hole and routing it on a condensate pump, I would not advise routing it to a sewer line because nasty sewer gas will get in the fridge.












  • mine was these roach gel baits when we had an infestation of tiny cockroaches (around 12-15 mm in size)

    just apply a pea size every 2 ft where light cant get them (and your pets), cover or hide any other food sources like trash or table scraps them bam! you’ll be sweeping swarms of dead roaches several days after.

    then repeat application every 6 months
