  i love ubiquiti stuff but i fucking hate that they force me to use 2fa to sign into my own gateway on my LAN

  It’s for your own security, tbh. The attack vector in a LAN is much larger compared to the WAN, as security measures or firewalls are often loosened in a local network. This means any connected device on your Wi-Fi can do nasty stuffs without getting caught if your LAN isn’t secured properly.

  okay but if i want to do some dumb shit on my own accord and disable mfa, they should let me

  if i want to climb up a ladder to a powerpole and electrocute myself the power company wont stop me as dumb as it is to do

  Lots of "dumb"—seems like it's designed for those, a secure factory setup which enforces 2FA. But yeah, for power users there should be an advanced option or something to customize that.

  think it is illegal in a lot of countries due to them being birds of prey

  Definitely hate mouse / rat. So it's a natural pest control for rat problem. One plus of so many more, obviously.

  @bandwidthking I think I posted here about an alternative method to pick a random number using an idler:

  $ echo "\
    user1
    user2
    user3" | shuf
  

  Or cat | shuf and use a separator after last user.

  Starting next year, I will learn to use a dedicated server.

  How so? How is it different than a simple VPS?

  Virtualization.

  I don't get it. From a user's perspective, is there a difference?

  You can use a dedi as a Hypervisor and you usually have VNC/IPMI access to the hardware itself to install whatever OS you want though ISO etc

  You’ve no idea how many times a wild @FAT32 appeared whenever I spun the wheel yesterday. I was practically forced to declare him the winner. Sometimes, the stars just align for someone, you know.
