In preparation for watching Star Wars The Last Jedi I’ve begun watching episodes 4-7 (I have little interest in watching 1-3). Whilst watching Episode 4 – A New Hope C3PO asks Luke:  “Sir, If you’ll not be needing me I’ll close down for a while”. December is the time of year I ensure to take time off

This post details my observations and experiences Implementing Ubiquiti Unifi into the home network. If you intend to use Unifi devices exclusively then the kit will work straight out the box with little configuration required, no point in reading this post TL;DR. On the other hand if you have a fairly elaborate home network which

Here is an overview of the Home networking lab setup. You might ask why even have a home lab these days? You can build a fairly grown up enterprise grade topology using virtualization? Agreed, especially if you have high spec workstation or choose a cloud provider for the compute. Why I built a home lab
