Michael E. Gerber: The E-Myth Revisited

a re-read as well – and I’m fascinated by how many of the principles outlined I’ve used sine I first read it. A great book, or, rather, ~3 books, when going by writing style (from modern, to literary, to plain old business book). I still wish the world of business was as simple as applying a blueprint to it… but some foundational elements hardly harm success 🙂 Therefore, recommended for those of us who delegate half-heartedly, or those of us who let go without control.

John Michael Morgan: Brand Against the Machine

re-read, and added to list of books to re-read regularly, given the inspirational nature. Not the greatest fan of how it’s written – would prefer more data, especially considering how much the author speaks about measuring – and language used feels egocentric and unreflected (‘what she said’ jokes in a book that hopes their audience would take its contents seriously? come on..). Still, even though content is outdated in many places, the overarching aspects around the personality of a business hold true.

George S. Clason: The Richest Man in Babylon

wonderful read, love the language used, focuses on financial advice, tied back to the prosperity of Babylon, would certainly recommend, even if it’s just for the joy of reading (but the financial advice is sound as well, and seems to hold true through the ages)

UniFi Dream Machine: list dhcp leases

tl;dr: /mnt/data/udapi-config/dnsmasq.lease

So I just went on an excursion trying to find all dhcp leases dhcpd on our new UDM had handed out.

Reason: anything behind unmanaged switches behind an AP serving as bridge will not show up in the clients overview in the controller, while being perfectly functional.

Following the official guide to validate static assignments doesn’t work for dream machines – and logging into the USG to run show dhcp leases will simply tell you that show isn’t a command found in its lingo. This is exacerbated by the fact that it’s actually impossible to log in to the UDM as a regular user (ie the user configured through the controller (after enabling advanced features and SSH authentication subsequently)), and you’ll have to login as root with your regular controller password as documented in the getting started guide.

On the brighter side, the controller will show static configurations in the clients dashboard, once you select the “All configured clients” filter.

cat /mnt/data/udapi-config/dnsmasq.lease

To show current dhcp leases.

Chris Guillebeau: The Art of Non‑Conformity

This was marked unread on my kindle, but upon reopening I realized I’d read it before (but apparently a ~decade ago), so I decided to re-read it, since it’s short 🙂

Still a good read – while it didn’t necessarily age well on the storytelling side, the overall narrative still feels pretty spot on. Certainly worth reading, inspiring, full of beautiful quotes.
