Choosing a Level 2 EVSE (aka Electric Car Charger)

Being very new to the electric vehicle (EV) game, I thought it would be useful to share the biggest new-EV-owner pain point for me that I’ve solved (still working on the range anxiety thing :)); Level 2 home charging. Technically, I didn’t need to solve this immediately because the portable EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) that came with my Mach-E […]

Net Metering Isn’t a Subsidy

There have been several oddly similar anti-net metering op-eds floating around the national newspapers recently. I say “oddly similar” because they tend to repeat the same talking points, argued with little factual backing, with a clear intent to invoke an emotional “that’s not fair” response from readers using class-based rhetoric around how the scheme is a “subsidy” for the rich.

Could we get native WireGuard on Ubiquiti UDM/UDM-Pro?

The current end-user VPN types on the Ubiquiti UDM/UDM-Pro aren’t awesome. IPsec works, but there are issues. Big enough issues that Android 12 users can’t leverage it anymore. Personally, I switched over to WireGuard a while back, but I would much rather that it was natively supported on the UDM/UDM-Pro instead of having to wrestle with yet-another-Linux VM in my […]

It also includes a critical update to Unifi Network, and was supposed to support a new feature that I’ve been really looking forward to using on my […]
