Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 25/9/2023
Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Goddamn daylight saving, no wonder I felt so tired this morning.
My coworker suggested I try his life hack of getting up 10 minutes earlier every day last week. It was absolutely miserable, but I actually think it was better than the full one hour switch on Sunday. Could be the sleep deprivation talking though.
Looking to get a new WiFi Mesh system, and debating between a few options. Would love to hear some feedback/thoughts from people around them.
Currently been looking at the Netgear Orbi RBK760S, Orbi RBK852 or TP-Link Deco XE75.
We'll be on just normal fibre. Could potentially upgrade to Gigabit Fibre in the near future, but I don't see us going for Hyperfibre anytime soon.
We've got a Ubiquiti dream machine pro with two access points at home, they make good gear. When we have the spare money, I'm also going to add some cameras to the system.
Yeah Ubiquiti get some shit online by so-called professionals, but I have a UDM-SE with a U6-Pro AP and it's great. Been contemplating getting a U6-Enterprise just for the Wifi 6E.
I personally don't like the Mesh systems, I'd rather have all AP's wired in, but I get sometimes you can't just run cables
I guess the other option would be to get a cheaper Mesh system for wifi coverage, but have a Powerline for my partner for her gaming, but reading up on some things online, not too sure about their performance either.
Does she need low latency for the type of gaming she does? How big is the area you’re needing to cover?
Personally I just ran an Ethernet cable from the switch in the garage and dropped it through a small hole in the corner of the ceiling where my desktop is. It’s ugly but easy enough to fix up in future when I have to move it out of there. We have a centrally placed AP that covers our house.
Daylight savings zombie checking in. And out. begins snoring
I am unreasonably tired 🥱
