I went from Unifi to Ruckus APs and never looked back.

You can find older generations on eBay very inexpensively for what they are, install Ruckus Unleashed firmware on them, and operate them completely locally.

They have the best beamforming antennas in the industry and their firmware is rock solid. I'm on some very old models (2.4ghz and 5ghz only) but they work fantastically well. I'll probably upgrade to some wifi 6 models soon.

But for my uses 500-600mbps rock solid throughout my house is plenty. Anything where I want max throughput/low latency/low jitter (mainly gaming) is hardwired. For wifi I care much more about complete and consistent coverage.

I used git5 from when I started in 2011 to when I left in 2017.

I'm going back starting on monday, so I'm curious to try out jj.

In the past 10 years it's all been github and gitlab, and their code review tools are so painful, specifically w.r.t. tracking discussions across revisions. I never felt excited to try out jj because I was afraid it would that situation even worse.

That's wild. My dentist was in that building for quite a while as well.

+1 to 0.3mg, larger doses can lead to nightmares and other issues.

It also may take longer to have an effect than is commonly said. For me, it's ~3-4 hours. I'm a natural night owl but 0.3mg melatonin at 6pm has me falling asleep on the couch at 9:30-10pm.

And then you have Go, which won't even let you compile code with an unused variable...

Yeah, they are generally better but Ring and Alexa Skills are better than their Google counterparts (at least the last time I checked).

I actually have a few old Nest hubs sitting in the basement…

Sadly they’re just part of the app. I run adblocking DNS on my home network, but it doesn’t make a difference with this.

I wish I could pay money to hide amazon ads on our echo show devices and not auto-opt-in to each new "experience" pane they add. They let you do it for Kindle ads and now for Prime, maybe it'd be a nice cash injection for the faltering Alexa org?

Really, I just want our smart displays (which I paid real money for) to show our family photos and do smart home things. It's exhausting to repeatedly have to open up the settings panel and uncheck whichever new screens/"experiences" they've added each time they start popping up. There are dozens at this point--talk about shipping your org chart!

Hopefully Matter will mature at some point and Apple will ship some smart displays of their own, and then we can toss our Alexas in the bin.

Which brand do you use? I couldn't find an exact match via web search :(

Weird, I asked our TS admin to disable "override local DNS" and he claimed the option was disabled out, seemingly due to magic DNS being enabled or something. I'll see if I can get access myself to try and change it. Thank you for the reply!

Is this still incompatible with split horizon DNS? Whenever I'm connected to my corporate tailnet I can no longer resolve hostnames that are registered on my personal, DHCP-assigned DNS server, breaking access to my home network. This also leads me to believe that all my DNS requests are being routed through the magic DNS server which is not cool IMO.

Better living through chemistry, until we’re all filed down into featureless automatons.

This feature turned on for me today, and ignoring the problematic 1984-ish implications, it’s also nudging me very hard to change my writing style.

I’m not a perfect writer or close to it, but I’m not bad. Part of my word choice is what makes something written by me distinct from something written by someone else. I’ve accepted and even embraced some of these idiosyncrasies. Hilariously the system seems to have a hardcore vendetta against the word “sophisticated” despite it being a perfectly cromulent word in the context I was using it IMHO.

I’m just ignoring the suggestions (as a google PM would certainly suggest in defense of this feature) but I’m sure many people won’t, and all our writing in docs will start to look and sound the same.
