So, in the past few months, I have overhauled my entire home network setup. The details call for a separate blog post at some time, I guess. But yes, I’ve switched to Unifi access points. The one thing that took me a while to get right was the seamless roaming. I came to Unifi from…

Windows containers are still in beta state on AWS ECS, but it’s fun to try them out. AWS already has a Full Windows 2016 AMI with containers support. But I wanted to try something more interesting.
