AH API

Always use User-Agent: Appie/8.22.3 and Content-Type: application/json
Technically there is more information about your device and user ID after it, but the server does not seem to care

Token

If you have a valid access_token, add it as a header in request
Authorization: Bearer access_token

Want to configure UPnP on EdgeRouter-4?

Don't do it!

Introduction

As a former sysadmin that once helped ride herd over around 1,000 servers, of which around 10% were Internet-facing, I've never been a fan of autoconfiguation when it comes to punching holes through the firewall. I've seen the tripwire logs, and it's sobering.

The Problem

So enabling UPnP on my EdgeRouter-4 wasn't something I had on the roadmap, but when I ran into difficulty getting DLNA to work on the default VLAN, I thought it was worth looking into (never mind that, as I later learned, having UPnP turned on wasn't going make a bit of difference on my local network: another reason that mastering theory should always come before practice).

If you're using a high-end bluetooth headset on your Macbook Pro it's likely your mac is using an audio codec which favors battery efficiency over high quality. This results in a drastic degradation of sound, the SBC codec is the likely culprit, read more about it here.

Find out what codec you're using

Play a song on your headphones
Option (⌥) click the Bluetooth button at the top of your screen
If you're using AAC or aptX, you can stop here—those are the highest quality codecs.

Change your codec to AAC or aptX

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

	# Here's step-by-step how I got OpenWRT on my Amplifi HD Router
	# There are some steps to this and one of them is HW access to the Serial interface on the PC.
	# This is found here:

	1. Open the Router and connect a UART/Serial USB to between PC and Router
	Note that in my case the pinout was mirrored.
	It is located on the middle print.
