we'll see... not sure how I feel about managing the network from the Unifi controller yet.. but thought I would give it a try.
Interested to hear what you think as I've been thinking of deploying them as replacements or the EdgeSwitch range.
On major advantage without even touching them yet, all switching in a single pane of glass - no more logging into each one to manage them.

Yes! Vacations! Today was my last work day for 2016. What a year... my load average was like 2.5 - 3.0* during the last couple of weeks (months) and I absolutely don't know how I managed to get through all that stuff. Felt like running through a minefield, blindfolded.
Anyway, it's Christmas time now and I won't be back in the office until January 4th.
Time to do some fun stuff. Sadly, my dad doesn't have time this year to work on the model train project. But I've got some pretty interesting ideas on my list regarding communication between Arduino's and more high-level systems (x86/amd64, Raspberry Pi's) using MQTT on my list.
any *NIX admin should get it

I'm not exactly a model train fan, but: AC-based (Märklin H0, M-track) model train tracks controlled by Arduinos, Pi's, C&C Notebook, RabbitMQ and MQTT. Now that's cool

Question: Why hasn't anyone created a universal platform with not a lot of dependencies (like Java) for video games? Something that would allow you to run video games on any of the major operating systems. I'm not a programmer and there must be a reason, but I don't know what that would be.

Unity. And many others. It's a common thing, actually.

I've been wanting to do that for years. If I didn't move around so much I definitely would be doing that.

Unity can be coded for all OSes? Why don't they release all of these pc games for linux as well then?

That's why the name is Unity, it's a universal high end gaming platform.

what is it exactly? is it like Java, just installs on top of any OS?

You can't stick any engine in any car - so how does this help?

Problem is, there is a shit load of components for which I need to write some code for. I'm concentrating on the communication part right now. Next will be a load of drivers for sensors and actors. Not too hard, but needs to be done. Last but not least, we want to have some central PC (an old notebook in this case) to act as a central monitoring and control interface.
But yes, as promised before, I'll post pictures when there is something worth showing.
