“Just get seen” lol from uk

Switched to Ubiquiti, I'm quite happy except for their lack of a sane MCP.

Ubiquiti unifi has struggled to integrate routing as reliably and as well as the wireless and switching piece. Mikrotik router and unifi everything else has kind of been my go-to for at least 10 or 12y now.

I can't speak for the more "entreprise-y" unifi stuff but the routing on the ubiquiti gear i've used is actually just FRR and if you SSH in you can do a whole lot more than is surfaced through the UI - for example, I have VXLAN running on my UDR7 right now.

It's not something I've tried but I imagine you could actually expose FRR directly and configure through that

For a long time if you made any changes through the web UI it would overwrite the config. Then you could make changes and it would save. Then they removed it. Then they added it back but it didn't always work. Not sure the current state.

I have like a ~15y history of working with their stuff.

What's the state of FOSS licensing compliance? Have they repented?

Mikrotik's FOSS story is as bad.

Do expand

They don't release / host source code unless formally asked

How is the ipv6 situation these days? I left Ubiquiti 2 years ago because I needed to be able to configure the /56 I got from my isp. The unifi controller was pathetic in what it could do.

I'm new to Ubiquiti routers, but I had no problem dividing the /60 I got from my ISP and assign /64s to VLANs.

You might be interested in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZpJvpm1Ris (title: Does UniFi FINALLY support IPv6 Properly? State of IPv6 with Unifi Network v9). The video is about a year old, but from the looks it's not terribly outdated.

I’ve also dropped nix-darwin for homebrew on my new m5.

Fantastic work Mike and team, though I’m still a little confused about cask upgrades.

Can I assume the UK will get Siri AI?

I found a sea shell in a visit to Latamber in Pakistan (NWFP): https://www.flickr.com/photos/hendry/73369720/

Gemini says "As the crow flies (Straight-line distance): Approximately 900 to 920 kilometers (roughly 560 to 570 miles) directly north of the coast at Karachi"

Maybe some geology buffs can correct me, but as I understand it there has been three periods with ocean on top of the crust we call Pakistan today. The Proto-Tethys, Paleo-Tethys, and Tethys Ocean. Many hundreds of millions of years of being ocean.

Because of the Indian subcontinent colliding with the Eurasian plate there's a wide variety of origins for the surface geology in that region.

An incredibly detailed and descriptive map:

Maybe a nitpick but Latamber is not directly north of Karachi and it's about 1000 kilometers away (the closest coast is 950 km but not in Karachi). It's easy to see and to measure on a map.

I noticed an AWS engineer publish a local AWS suite https://github.com/local-web-services/local-web-services which seems comparable.

Great to see Localstack offset a bit thanks to ... AI driven shift left infrastructure tooling? This is a great trend.

Are there successful non-AI artist platforms for works of art?

Agreed! systemd nspawn is actually pretty awesome, though not many people use it.

Timely! I just re-setup my Pi5 with the help of Claude. https://github.com/kaihendry/ai-pi

Tbh I did the mistake of throwing away Ansible, so testing my setup was a pain!

Since with AI, the focus should be on testing, perhaps it's sensible to drop Ansible for something like https://github.com/goss-org/goss

Things are happening so fast, I was impressed to see a Linux distro embrace using a SKILL.md! https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/master/default/omar...
