Attention

· Misc

It’s my firm conviction, now more than ever, that the degree to which we are able and willing to struggle for ownership of our attention is the degree to which we are free.

From Dense Discovery:

Here’s a familiar story we tell ourselves about our new inability to focus: screens bad, books good, civilisation circling the drain. It’s a seductive diagnosis – and also, probably, a lazy one.

Unifi u6+ failing to upgrade

· Errors, Hardware, Linux, Networking

I have quite a few sites where some Unifi U6+ Access Points fail to upgrade with a generic update failed message.

Marquis WiFi Vergaderruimte 4 update failed.

I've tried everything, from ssh'ing, factory resetting with set-default, to manually upgrading with upgrade, etc.

Nothing worked. I thought I had a bunch of bad APs (and many had their warranty expire by a few weeks or months).

As a last resort, I decide to reach out to Ubiquiti's support. First line wasn't very helpful, but as the case was escalated, I've managed to recover and properly update the APs.
