I've seen this, it's just outside Lake Flacid. I'll see myself out....

Those are some Mad Max looking lobster armor I agree with Leroy, the more i think on it, Dexterity is the way to go for my use case.

Picked up the TACOPS. Pretty cool kit tritium night sights 4 mags 3 backstraps Mag loader (not that i need it, have an extensive maglula collection, but still cool) Weight, size and grip are exactly how I wanted it to feel. I'm still amazed that they got 17 rounds into these things. I will say that the metal magwell is a bit lose. With a firm grip, you can feel it move a smidge. Perhaps i need to torque down the screw a bit. Now, that being said, it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere, just that perhaps it needed a beefy screw or something. Time will tell. Now i just need a weekend to field test it. Appreciate the advice everyone

Tell your grandson to ignore the haters. My kid got called fat a lot. Anyone who has met my kid knows that he's anything but fat. One day he'll be their manager somewhere. life has a way of doing that to jackholes

I read this kinda like the walking dead meme, but got: "Cheating Garage, Wife Sale"

Welcome to the land of the free. I know a few knuckleheads that could use some training

Very clean, I like it.

These clowns are damaging my calm.

Got a TACOPS inbound. Should be getting it middle of next week.

Definitely interested in your thoughts. I bought into unifi, so I won't be ditching it anytime soon, but I'm genuinely interested in the alien.

a quick update, for those who care, the drill bit i bought to put a hole into the broken wrench fragment wasn't up to the task. So it's back to the store to pick up something higher quality. Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Yup, I may be chasing a red herring. I just figured there's probably some professional users who would say "i stake my reputation on this brand/type".

yeah, from my limited reading, it sounds like TikTok is using some DNS over HTTP tomfoolery to stop it from being easily blockable. Go figure.

oh i'm sure they all went up in price as well I managed to get my fence rebuilt over about 3 days. Sadly, it made me take a much closer look at my fence and realize just how old it is. I had to remove a few panels to refit some of the sections and i was able to just break the pickets off by hand. My fence (shadow box) covers half of a 3/4 acre lot.... that's not gonna be cheap. But at least i can do it myself.

Some great comments, much appreciated. I'm at a phase of life where I don't mind spending a bit more for anything that will last awhile. Shoes, Coats, etc. It seems like i'm always replacing gloves.

So the app for us is easy because the kids both have iphones and we just simply don't allow them to install it. They don't have laptops/desktops so i haven't been as concerned with the blocking via browser. however, i've started looking into it now that you've piqued my curiosity and it is NOT a straight forward process. https://www.pcwrt.com/2020/08/how-to-block-the-tiktok-app-on-the-router/ this one had a fairly long list of associated domains that you can blacklist. However, OpenDNS has a limit of 25 domains unless you're paying (i assume at least) I went ahead and blocked that full list in Unifi. Tiktok doesn't load via browser for me. I would install the app to test..... but no thanks.

Well that title was supposed to read "leather work gloves". No clue how that happened. Thanks mobile.

I've been interested in getting a nice set of leather work gloves. Something solid that will last if maintained. It seems that most places just sell cheap leather or some kind of tactical junk. Any thoughts from the community?

And this is why I moved into management.

Same. Zero judgement but I could work out of Starbucks worst case... or go to the office. However... if work is willing to pay for it....

jeez man, are you an MSP or something? WAN redundancy at the house!

Much later, but i bought a powertel prepaid phone and told all my friends to just page me when they needed me. If they called, even talking for 4 seconds cost me an entire minute. One day i get a page from my friend with the 911 911 911 after it. I'm worried he's dying, so I call him on my cell "dude, will you pick up chips when you head over tonight?"......ffffffffuuuuuuuuuu

quick reading says that the mobile app is the preferred method of admin for the Alien https://help.amplifi.com/hc/en-us/articles/218562288-Enabling-a-Guest-Network in example

Do your reading on the alien, but that's what i would try. I can't promise you it has these enterprise features. Make sure first.

You allow tiktok on your network? I kid but i don't. that crap is blocked at the Stan household. If it were me, i would try the alien first to see if i like it and if it meets your needs. As for the dream machine, here are my thoughts -The DM Pro is cool if you plan to use cameras, outside of that, it may be overkill if you're a normal "user". It's also going to cost more -The DM has what you're after, guest networks, QOS. etc. -Wifi scheduling sucks on it. I have the kids on a specific SSID with parental blocks. I wanted to shut their wifi off around midnight. It works fine on the DM itself but since i have multiple VLANS and SSIDs, when it flips on, it just turns off my AP's signal all together. -As mentioned previously, the unifi interface will take some getting used to, as it is intended for small/medium business. It's not going to hold your hand. -By default, any SSID you create will be on 2.4 and 5ghz. Your devices will likely always select 2.4 which will be significantly slower, because it's a stronger signal. You can tell the devices to "prefer 5ghz", but that's not "enforce". So the best way for me was to have 2.4 on a dedicated SSID and if I really needed it, i would enable that (in case family/friends come over with a kids tablet or something. Everything else is 5ghz -I blacklisted all of the embargoed countries along with China and Russia. it's super simple in the interface -You can enable IDS or IPS. I have IPS enabled on the most restrictive and have never had a problem. -My guest network actually has a Eula that states I'm going to take all of your data and you owe me $50 a day.... odd that nobody ever reads it and just clicks accept Speaking of guest network, that's a fun setup. Looks a little different than this now but it's got a cool level of customization (no, this isn't my network)
