Last year, after an already long sequence of doing stupid things, Ubiquiti sued Brian Krebs.
For many this was a reason to think about what to replace their Ubiquiti.
My cloud key had already died, I never installed the USG router, so this is the reminder to see if anything has come up to replace the Unifi access points that is easy to manage in a self-hosted way are powered over ethernet, do the same seamless handover and cooperative WiFi antenna management.
Some links from back then:

The response to [Wayback/Archive] Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” were so great!
Just a few that I liked very much:
- It’s a recursive acronym for “Jira isn’t really agile”
- Just Issues Rarely Addressed
- jumbled information, reported arbitrarily
- Jumping
Into
Real
Agony
- Just Individual Redtape Actions

Though after C# 4 (covariance and contravariance) and C# 5 (async/await) the evolvement of C# might have seemed to slow down a bit, the big picture hasn’t as shown in the [Wayback/Archive] Why is C# Evolving This Way? – YouTube video by Zoran Horvat which comes down to:

Many recommend against using SMS for 2FA because of security reasons (SIM swapping, sniffing, etc), but there is another privacy+security reason: these 2FA phone numbers get leaked or sold as [Wayback/Archive] Daniel Cuthbert (@dcuthbert) found out the hard way last year:

The basic options for logging an HTML Element using JavaScript are for instance described in [Wayback/Archive] google chrome – How can I log an HTML element as a JavaScript object? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Ben Flynn for asking and [Wayback/Archive] Mathias Bynens for answering)):
Use console.dir:
var element = document.documentElement; // or any other element
console.log(element); // logs the expandable <html>…</html>
console.dir(element); // logs the element’s properties and values
Both log all html or all properties even though often these are enough (most via [Wayback/Archive] Element – Web APIs | MDN):

Steps:
- Edit the DNS zone file in
/var/lib/named/master
- Make sure you updated the SOA serial number
rcnamed restart
- Watch
/var/lib/named/log/general for errors (you can even increase logging, for instance by reading [Wayback/Archive] this serverfault entry and editing /etc/named.d/logging) and – on my system – these other logs for the actual zone transfers:
/var/lib/named/log/in-xfer.log for incoming zone transfers on the secondary server
/var/lib/named/log/notify.log for notifications of zone transfers on the primary and secondary servers
/var/lib/named/log/out-xfer.log for outgoing zone transfers on the primary server
- Check on [Wayback/Archive] mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dns:example.org&run=toolpage# to see if the SOA serials have been replicated (one day I will write a bookmarklet for this)
Alternatives for the last step are sites like these:

Low-tech beats hi-tech. It always does.
Oh, and it so much reminds me of BITNET relay, early internet and BBS/Fidonet days.
[Wayback/Archive] Nick Wright: “1993: I use BBSes for online i…” – Mastodon.ART
1993: I use BBSes for online interaction. Each BBS is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.
2008-2022: I use social networks like Facebook and Twitter for online interaction. They’re huge and popular. I use Evernote for my notes, which is full of features.
2023: I use Mastodon for online interaction. Each instance is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.
