Well the i3 now is what the i5 used to be, 4 cores 4 threads. It’ll go like stink.
16GB? Yeah it’s too much but I did it too.
M2 SSDs are it now as far as I’m concerned. Even the cheap Athlon 200GE PCs boot in seconds with one and run very nicely indeed. If they’re as reliable as they should be a PC could last a decade, so going a bit OTT makes some sense. Not so much for the raw performance but the extras the CPUs support and things like having the most up to date versions of things like pci-e to take forward.
Bristol has long been cosmopolitan, my neighbours are from all over the Uk and some from the EU. I suppose having Airbus, BAE, Rolls Royce and the Mod nearby adds to that. As you probably know, Bristol has long has a big Polish community.
This part of North Cornwall is slowly turning into North London-on-Sea, but not this time of year. Rick Stein’s empire is a little bit bigger every time I come down but his (excellent) bakery in Padstow will be shut, still The Chough bakery will be open as it has for the last 30 years+ but that’s very “gentrified” now. They featured Alex Polizzi ‘s The Fixer in 2012.
I doubt I’ll see a black or brown face or hear a European accent all week. Two (?) years ago it was rumoured a “muslim couple” were going to rescue the 24 hour petrol station at St Kew Highway. The pub erupted. I have no idea if they did as we don’t come down that way any more since the EU paid to have the A30 dual carriageway’d. I’m not going to ask in the pub!
You’ve just realised that? There’s another decade of this crap to go. All the talk down here is of UKIP V 2. Fantastic, split the Tory vote and the Liberals will be back in here and the Tories will be out nationwide. Cameron will have engineered the very thing he feared.
To hear them down here you’d think Lenin had been reborn. Mind you they thought Blair was a bit Marxist. You ought to holiday down here VFM, you’d love it.
Word from Cornwall on paper bricks is OK but not as good as wood and effort better put into that.

I think I’ve had enough now. The UK is a laughing stock in the world and we seem determined to continue in that vein. The Americans are getting pissed off, the EU has clearly had enough. We are being held to ransom by a small group of self serving aholes who seem happy to beggar the country to get what they want. They will be OK.
The arguments I see here are mostly jingoist pseudo economic nonsense largely made up or spun to prop up a viewpoint. They are taking a nasty turn towards vilifying foreign nationals and anyone who doesn’t believe in the cause. We have been compared to Chamberlain and appeasement to Germany in a mangling of history. We are told what viewpoints we hold, whether we do or don’t.
We are told the no-one can predict the future when it’s not in favour of the project and then given rock solid predictions of things like the EU falling apart within 2 or 3 years, various countries voting for leaving, economic Armageddon in the EU (but not here) etc. No of these dogs have yet to bark, like the German car industry and French cheese makers queuing up to demand the UK gets what it wants.
It’s just not possible to have a meaningful discussion with such intransigence and ignoring of anything which might be negative to the cause.
It’s sharp practice but it’s legal. Ask any self employed people what it’s like getting paid by big businesses.
To do MoD work we have to go through a third party who quite openly hold up our payments for over 2 months. The MoJ can be a nightmare too. At one time it looked like we’d have to go through Carillion who would pay you in 30 days if you gave up 10%, otherwise it was 3 months. Now we all know it was a glorified Ponzi scheme.
If only we could pay our suppliers like that! My cash flow is always the biggest headache.
I’m off to Cornwall on Saturday and both my Aunty and cousin have wood burners in their living rooms (and oil central heating elsewhere). Both rooms are big and the stoves certainly chuck it out. They have put convection driven fans on top and that makes a big difference in getting the warm air out into the room.
Living in the country free fuel is all around but it does take a lot of effort in the summer to collect, cut and stack it. I’ll ask about paper bricks, my cousins husband tries most things, but it may be with wood all around they haven’t tried them. Sounds a good idea though. Turn all the hot air in the newspapers into real hot air.
Good point about the new build Steve, we’re on maximum possible insulation even though 18 yo house, we had a free upgrade.
Even before the upgrade once we get to “turn on day” the heating goes to 24 /7 until “turn off day”. If it’s chilly in between its because either the thermostat in the hall (worst place for anyone apart from the builder) has been knocked into or someone has used up all the hot water and accidentally hit HC over ride instead of HW.
I see the Americans are wading in.
“The backstop is the insurance policy that protects the Good Friday Agreement and the GFA cannot be used as a bargaining chip as the Brexit advocates search for an alternative arrangement.
Highlighting the role played by Irish-America during the peace process, it notes that pro-Brexit advocates in London have set about diminishing the importance of the Belfast Agreement “almost to the point of dismissing it as irrelevant even though it is a binding international peace agreement.”
“This is an enormous mistake and only resurrects old animosities over the constitutional integrity of Northern Ireland and has already resurrected old stereotypes that do an injustice to all the people on the island of Ireland, North and South, who overwhelmingly supported the GFA in a referendum held in May of 1998,” the letter states.”
It seems the ERG are determined to piss off their best hope for one of these super duper trade agreements. You know, the easiest of the ones that are going to be so easy. We can’t even get people to roll over the ones we’ve got through the EU. Do you think they may want more preferential terms for themselves?
It’s easy to say remove the backstop and we’ll agree everything else because it won’t be changed. Find the Unicorn or I’m out.
This is exactly what will happen with the Malthouse “compromise”, something would be found to object to, it wouldn’t be difficult in the many things on the hard Brexiteers list. But as that depends on the backstop being changed before it even gets going it’s another Unicorn.
But I see you are claiming to be talking for all Brexiteers again “we Brexiteers” when in fact that is far from the truth. Before you mention the majority in the meaningful vote remember that there were more remainers than leavers in the No lobby. The No was not a Yes for the ERGs plans.
The Nest cameras are very expensive for what they do. The cheaper compatible ones aren’t great specs (neither is Nest TBH). Once the specs go up the prices rocket. But I think this is the way it’s going to be, style over substance. EZViz is the consumer division of Hikvision BTW.
Don’t forget even WiFi cameras need power, most people do forget that ?
Ed, it’s all happening inside the same subnet, routers are not involved. As it’s Linux I’m guessing SCP is involved somewhere.
The thread you posted is for an ERL, which is an EdgeMax Router. It’s trying to discover local devices in the same local subnet(s) attached to it. You would not open a port in your external firewall to allow it to do this.
The same thing happens with my controller client on the browser, it sends out a local broadcast on 10001. Auto discovery can be turned off but as it’s all local why would you?
The vulnerability is all about people who have opened a port to allow incoming traffic on 10001 on a public facing router.
EDIT the EdgeMax router uses the same url method to talk to it’s controller. The same controller is used to manage all “UniFi” devices which include switches etc. You get an overview of whats happening and management of an entire site and a controller can manage multiple sites (that’s down to the hardware specs). I manage 20+ sites and 30+ devices from a 1 CPU 1GB ram 25GB HDD $5 a month cloud server and it’s not breaking sweat.
Let me explain a bit how they work.
At setup the AP (or other bit of kit) is told the local IP address or http url of it’s controller. After that it then contacts the controller but in the case of a Cloud controller, as it’s behind a NAT router the outgoing port will be random (the router decides). So you don’t open any ports on the local router. The Cloud controller needs to have certain inbound ports open on it’s local router which it listens to. Remember Port Forwarding sends traffic to a specific local IP address and not onto the local network.
When you are setting up you can SSH to the AP (it’s Linux) and tell it the controllers address, or the controller can discover the AP. It does this via port 10001. Now the controller has no local interface whatsoever, it’s off in the Cloud how could it? you access it via a web browser. So when I’m setting up an AP I am inside my own network on my laptop and the controller is in the cloud. I can discover APs local to me via my browser client. My browser client then sends the controllers url to the AP and off they go. Once the AP has been set up it can be moved anywhere in the world and just needs internet access to talk to the controller. No outbound ports required.
So why open up port 10001? The only thing would be to discover an AP on another network and it could only be a single AP that you already know the IP address of (that’s how Port Forwarding works). Makes no sense.
To me it shows just how much IT security is in the hands of people without the necessary skills. It is absolutely not the fault of Ubiquiti that these ports are open. However I’m sure they’ll be working on the vulnerability to protect the idiots that do.
To sum up. If you buy an AP from Broadbandbuyer and have them set it up on their (free for 3 years) cloud controller there is no risk. If you buy one and have your own local controller, there is no risk. If you manage APs on behalf of others via a Cloud controller don’t open Port 10001 on the customers network you muppet. In fact just leave their router alone.
Meanwhile we ignore the totally crass actions of people like Francois and their like. You yourself personally denigrate EU leaders regularly.
I would be more impressed if we had this in context as a video. I think they both have a neutral expression in their faces, I certainly don’t think either is laughing at anything, but interpret as you will and keep on whipping up these anti foreigner sentiments, that will be really helpful.
This what it always comes down to doesn’t it? Good old fashioned racial prejudice. It was Turkey two years ago now it’s Ireland. Johnny foreigner hates us and is telling us what to do, poor little Britain being picked upon by these nasty people. Then we hear how strong we are and can overcome anything. Throw off the yoke of the foreign oppressor etc. etc.
No need to do anything. I still can’t understand why people have done it. Probably just read a list of the ports used and slavishly opened them all.
“Also if you are a Remainer then by definition you are not in favour of the UK having a firm border status like Oz does.”
You seem to think everything is black and white. It isn’t. It’s quite possible to have an issue with parts of an institution and still think the rough is over taken by the smooth. It explains why you keep telling us what we think.
I’ll put my hands up to May not being in charge (of anything).
The problem is who takes over? BoJo? opens his mouth and an innocent woman gets 5 years added to her sentence. Too far Remain or Leave and we’ll have major problems. Second referendum? Probably more trouble than it’s worth.
Gordon Browns idea has some worth, get public forums to shape what the exit looks like. I think most Remainers would be mollified if they thought they had had some say and not held to ransom by a bunch of idiots who only get oxygen due to the numbers in parliament, plus a bunch of people who won’t even govern in their own jurisdiction.
The problem is March 29th but I cannot see how anything can be sorted by then. Forget the cliff edge, no reasonable Government could ever inflict that damage to their country – I’m not going to argue that point any more. Anyone who thinks it won’t isn’t going to listen to anything.
Thanks for that Tippon. I don’t open Port 10001 as I have no wish for my APs to be discoverable by the public.
The article intimates that this is somehow enabled by Ubiquiti which it isn’t, it cannot control your firewall. The mind boggles as to why so many organisations decided it was a good idea to open this port, it absolutely is not required to manage these devices remotely.
And we’re worried about China and Russia? For real world provable exploits it seems it’s the Americans we need to be worried about.
I suppose it’s no surprise that all Governments want to spy on their own as well as others. But now their tools are being used by people who just want to disrupt.
