If you’ve set up a WiFi schedule on your UniFi Dream Machine to automatically disable your kids’ network at night, only to discover it simply doesn’t work, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common complaints in the Ubiquiti community forums, and it’s been an issue for years across multiple firmware versions. I ran into this exact problem. The schedule was configured correctly, the timezone was right, and yet every night the kids’ WiFi stayed stubbornly online. After hours of troubleshooting and reading through community threads, I found a solution that actually works. ...

I’ll be honest with you, I built this desktop app for Proton Docs a while ago purely out of laziness and personal convenience. Sometimes the simplest motivations lead to the most useful projects. The Problem That Wasn’t Really a Problem Like many people, I’ve been using Proton Docs for my note-taking and document editing. It’s fantastic, encrypted, private, and works great in the browser. But here’s the thing: I found myself constantly hunting through browser tabs to find my Proton Docs tab, getting distracted by other websites, and generally feeling like my note-taking workflow was… messy. ...
Smedjebacken Cruising: Where Chrome, Culture, and Community Collide
There’s a special kind of magic that descends upon the small, picturesque town of Smedjebacken each summer. Nestled by the shores of Lake Barken in Sweden’s historic Bergslagen region, this normally tranquil community transforms. The air, usually filled with the scent of pine and fresh water, thickens with the sweet smell of high-octane fuel and barbecue. The quiet streets begin to rumble with the deep, guttural sound of V8 engines. This is the Smedjebacken cruising, an unmissable spectacle of chrome, nostalgia, and pure, unadulterated joy. ...

Breaking Free: Why I'm Ditching WordPress.com and the Subscription Trap
Enough is Enough I’m tired of bleeding money every month. Adobe Creative Cloud. Netflix (and Disney+, and HBO Max…). Skylum Luminar. WordPress.com. The list goes on. Death by a thousand subscriptions. What started as a convenient $10/month here and $15/month there has snowballed into hundreds of dollars vanishing from my account every month. For what? Software I don’t fully own. Services I barely use. The constant nagging feeling that I’m being nickel-and-dimed into oblivion. ...
