    @kalleboo In the #mastodon #webapp, under Preferences / Other, check this setting to minimize duplicate boosts.

    @ocdtrekkie @badnetmask @scottc @dwmetz #wifi #wifi6e My 2.4GHz #WLAN is reserved for all the straggler devices I use for #HomeAutomation. They just need a decent signal since they don’t pass much data. Everything else is on 5GHz or wired.

    @dwmetz HomeKit has always been a pain for me to mix in with all the other stuff. I too am going the #eero route but have everything running through four primary solutions. Amazon #Alexa for voice automation, Philips #Hue for lighting, #SmartLife/#Tuya for home automation, additional security and lighting, and #Nest for HVAC. Alexa does a great job of bringing it all together in one decent interface which is also one of the reasons why I’m going with eero for the new mesh network with #wifi6e.

    @ygalanter @marcelias Try this in the #mastodon #webapp. Do a search on a #hashtag, like #news. Then pin that to another column. Pretty cool… you can pin hashtags.

    Well, I’ve decided my naming convention for the new mesh #wifi network. I was a #Wi-FiEngineer for a long time. This time I’m making SSIDs based on function in the network. I will have three SSIDs with “&amp;lt;network name&amp;gt;-&amp;lt;function&amp;gt;”as the name. So, that means max-legacy (for 2.4GHz only devices), max-media (for streaming devices), and max-fast (for everything else).

    The new #mesh solution will auto-adjust the channels used so WLAN Analysis will be minimal. It should come out looking “as clean as possible”, given the amount of interference I’ve got from neighbors (like everyone these days).

    @james@strangeobject.space just subscribe to the #news hashtag. Works great for me.

    Out learning some #virtualization stuff and had this thought: &amp;quot;Azure Virtual Desktops vs. Windows 10 Virtual Machines&amp;quot; Sounds like one of those postapocalyptic, martial arts movies I saw as a kid. True story. #tech #geek

    Thought for the day -- North and South America combined only account for 13% of the world’s population. #population #interesting

    @bitchpeas the folks who run Windows Central and Tech Republic do a nice job: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11 and https://www.techrepublic.com/article/windows-11-cheat-sheet-everything-you-need-to-know/
