@sammcgeown @markwilsonit @home_assistant @ThePiHut I did the same. Get an old NUC with lots of cores, max out the memory and SSD and use ProxMox. It can run NAS, Plex, and plenty of space for home lab… and ticks over at 20W.

@markwilsonit @Ubiquiti Just noticed it is in stock at https://t.co/o9hSpBhnxa

@markwilsonit To be fair - my complications started with poor wifi coverage. On my USG I added hardwires and more AP’s. I found simple migration from USG to Express was too much. The WiFi6 was excellent and maybe I should have persevered with mesh - but console access was my frustration.

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

@taylorandy @markwilsonit I was curious about this one. Express just failed on CPU capacity for me. The Ultra looked attractive as at least it offloads wifi. Once bitten… I played safe after abuse from my co-homeworkers and bought UDM.

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

@hardcorepr4wn @markwilsonit I started a quest to upgrade from USG after buying 500Mb service. Express failed to satisfy - I have now spent £500+ on UDM and AP’s ( and some cameras). It’s a money pit… stay on USG!

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

@markwilsonit @JefTek I had one and already moved on. It feels like a pyramid of software upside down on a pea of a CPU. I had a 500Mb FTTP and only got 150 from it. I have 4x AP’s to cover house and garden and a switch. Console was always hung. I now have a UDM - expensive but so good!

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

@markwilsonit @Ubiquiti I bought one afew months ago and flipped it again on ebay afew weeks ago. It has limited UI device support and VLAN’s. While it kept routing, the console kept hanging. I bought a UAP pro. 3x home workers under this roof - can’t loose work days :)

@CllrMcHuntSNP @scotgov I heard this was the SNP filling the moat to keep the english out for the weekend of fun

@StephanieTestut So entertaining, but still delivering powerful and relevant messages!

@MrSteveRush @markwilsonit I’m glad we didn’t delay to build a more sophisticated solution, but doesn’t stamping or handwriting these cards seem to be from the stone age?

@JFST2016 @NorthantsSCIU @DVLAgovuk @NorthantsPolice Think you’ll find that some cars got an MOT extension over the last lockdown and others did not - just depends on expiry date. As a busy person with 4 cars to maintain it certainly confused me. But there is so much else going on for people out there...

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

So what is the situation on boardman slr 8.9c? It is no longer even listed by @halfords Has the whole production run been sold @boardmanbikes ? They seem to have sold out within a couple of hours...will there be any more?

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

@gratcliffe I guess you didn’t see the picture of what happened later. Someone hurt themselves jumping off durdle door, so air ambulance has to land. All those people were herded into about 1/4 of the beach to make space!

[Andy Arthur @andyarthr]

@markwilsonit You should probably change the 12v driver in the extractor. The LED bulbs are drawing way less power and the driver is not optimised to smooth it’s output at that low a load - in fact it probably isn’t very smooth at all, but halogens do not show it.

@markwilsonit “Guaranteed no bristle loss” - 🤭 😂 bit late for that

@ZaraJ88 Be careful of that guy in the hat😀
