On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.

I bought Unifi products because I wanted 800Mbps over WiFi. There's other products to accomplish this but when I started this project pre-covid TPLink wasn't competing in this space yet.
Does anyone. Understanding LANs is orthogonal to understanding radios.

I am bugging my local provider to gimma an ipv6 address natively. I honestly haven't used it a ton but I'd like to switch a portion of my local networks over to it next year and learn more. my network is pretty tiny so a few ipv4 subnets have just worked forever but i like that it was built with encryption in mind and that's my main motivation for switching

SLAAC is magnificent, I think that's my favorite part - beyond the obvious Total NAT Death.
I really should go through the HE.net IPv6 certification, I think they send you a cool shirt lol.

Redditors do this in every tech sub because they have no idea how anything works.
Here i was buying edge products because they were cheap and worked well enough, but because redditors want to pretend they have enterprise gear the product line gets abandoned for cloudslop configured via button clicks.

Troy Hunt convinced me to buy two unifi AP's and now I regret listening to that stunningly handsome michael fassbender lookin' butt neighbor
Actually I installed OpenWRT on both of them so this scandal doesn't effect me. But still, I feel like I could have gotten the same or better hardware for a lot less money.

Yeah people chose unifi as it was basically the only option in the space at the time. Similar products to it tended to be marketed to businesses and therefore $$$$$$$.

Yes and it's no surprise it was founded by a lot of ex-Apple people. They understand the power of a good ecosystem.

what is a good wifi 6 AP that is not ubiquiti?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I mean I'm still using Unifi but I've heard very good things about TPLink Omada. Seems to be the new darling in some circles.
But unless you're jumping from WiFi 4 (n) and not WiFi 5 (ac) you're probably thinking of WiFi 6 E - that's where the fun 6GHz comes in that gets you 1Gb+ speeds. This of course means you'll need 2.5GbE gear minimum (which is newer than 10GbE, long story - a lot of tech has 10 but not 2.5)...
All that is to say regular WiFi 6 is great for dense deployments at businesses and such but at home you can probably squeeze out a 800Mbps, low latency out of a high end AC AP with enough tuning (80-160MHz, High channel power, 5Ghz, 4x4 MIMO, etc.)
I think if you have good AC APs now you haven't turned just right (or God forbid are only meshed not hardwired) you can just get that fixed and wait to upgrade to WiFi 7 which is already ending up in devices.

Took a cursory look at it, seems like I can run a central controller locally similar to Unifi controller. Looks promising but TPLink don't have a good track record when it comes to the quality of their software.
AFAIK wifi 6 brings improvements to the 2.4/5 GHz bands as well, e.g. OFDMA? I don't know if my home LAN cables can handle 2.5 or even 10gbps, so I don't think 6GHz would be useful to me when I have no issues with using the 2.4/5 Ghz bands.
I am using hardwired APs. All in all I have no issues with using Ubiquiti APs and have no need to upgrade

Yeah it seems like TPLink are giving a shit now and competing. I will say I haven't used them personally but it is the one I hear spoken most about.
There is also Cisco Meraki but it has licensing costs I believe.
At least in my research, you can probably pull the extra 200Mbps with a well configured WiFi 6 AP and well behaved client but I'm not sure the upgrade is worth it if you're already pulling a good WiFi 6 signal. That's kind of my point though, if you're not looking for higher than 1Gig speeds the upgrade is kind of bleh.
Funny enough the LAN cables matter but you can still pull off 10Gb over CAT5e for like 50 meters. That could be substantially longer than your actual run, not even mentioning 2.5Gb which obviously runs easier.
The bigger problem is switches and routers for 2.5Gb can be $$ still.

Unifi is family of networking products made by the company Ubiquiti.
They are well known for having very well priced networking gear targeting home office/prosumer/small businesses. Pretty popular in the nerd hobbyist space.
