  1. I might be a bit of a Ubiquiti fanboy. Their gear usually #JustWorks, so when they started selling NAS boxes I assumed I needed one in my life. (I mean, I really didn't.  I have gobs of actual servers for file storage.)

    TL;DR: I didn't. And I actively dislike it.  Like a lot.

    The UNAS-2 is extremely limited. I knew that going in. It's a file box and little else: no Docker, no app ecosystem, none of the flexibility you'd get from a Synology. Fine. What I didn't sign up for:

    → The iPhone backup is flaky and just… stopped, throwing "UniFi Endpoint and UNAS Not on the Same Network." They are, provably, on the same network.  Nothing changed.
    → To reach it from my phone I have to use the UniFi Endpoint app. The one that also wants to babysit my door cameras?!
    → Time Machine backups are technically possible, after a fight.  I haven't won that fight.  I gave up.
    → And I swear the thing bumps itself off the network on the regular.

    Sigh. At least it has a cute screen.

  2. went slightly overboard and bought the #UNAS Pro 8 🤩 setting it up at home and copying the initial batch of data before it gets moved off-site #unifi #ubiquiti

  3. You'd think after spending some money on PC mount and #UniFi #network I've had enough... Not even close!😆

    I'm now looking at #RaspberryPi #HAT #PoE extensions for both my "server" Pi 5 and 4B #RetroPi, so I can ditch 2 of those bulky power supplies...

    The money pit is truly bottomless, because the next idea is to buy a small rack enclosure, an old 1U server chassis and put that RPi 5 board in it, along with the network gear...😅

  4. If you’ve been wondering how #Apple #iOS18 beta is doing, I didn’t notice any serious issues. My go-to apps are working just fine.

    #Ivory, #Strava, #LumaFusion, #Wahoo #ELEMNT, banking, #UniFi - no problems at all!

    There are some things throwing me off, because muscle memory - keyboard is slightly changed, editing videos in #Photos, but nothing I can’t live with…🤷🏻‍♂️🥰
