2024–W32 #
- Switched to Distributel broadband.
- It's good but I was off to a rocky start: I moved the install date (Bell engineer) without moving the activation date (PPPoE credentials are enabled) and so I was without Internet for about 24 hours.
- Good thing I moved ttw first!
- It's much, much cheaper and it gives me a Nokia ONT rather than relying on the unsupported hack of taking an SFP out my old Bell modem.
- Two of the adult kids are moving (back) out soon, so I'm going to take this opportunity to move where I work from and also to make some changes to our house networking.
- UniFi stuff is all going and being replaced with the equivalent TP-Link Omada stuff. Running the controller is increasingly annoying and if anything all I've found is my UniFi experience getting worse.
- I have one Omada AP already and at least I can configure them individually without needing to use their SDN software (although I might use that, we'll see).
- I'm using GNOME and not a basic X11 WM for the first time in a long time.
- Partially I wanted things like my Bluetooth devices and hotplugging screens to just work
- I've set up keybindings that are pretty similar to what I was using with
cwmand I mostly run three or four apps in full-screen on different desktops so it's not been very jarring
