It wants to learn your habits and adjust accordingly and I always wanted more control
but the point is you just use it till one day you don't have to
the best ones are integrated into day to day actions. Open door, light comes on. Then what do you need? you notice after 10min of entering you need to open the window for some reason? integrate that. Point is, you can be your own AI for the most part
averaging out your habits
i put one at my moms and just taught her how to adjust for winter/summer etc and eventually it just started doing the same changes she would have made on it's own using outside and inside current temps as reference
Like I said, it's a change in mindset, and it probably just works for moms
you mean you kept going over to it even when you didn't need to? I guess that's the part i'm confused about in your statement
I obsess about whether it'll misinterpret my one-time change and feel more comfortable setting a schedule
here in the midwest it really gets a lot of incoming data. when one hour can be drastically different in temps outside and then the next hour.. i am shocked it even works
I totally get that with youtube videos to the point where I just don't click triggering terms
if you click one time on a video that tries to debunk something, you'll get a years worth of recommendations for the exact topic you hated
I also like it cause my mom prefers to boil and when I know i will be heading over there I can remotely lower the temps below the surface of the sun
I do like the sensor temp/occupancy detection and home/away mode change of my Ecobees
So maybe I'll get more comfortable with more learning in the future
i never found much "saving" in lower the temps etc while away back when I did use to work so I stopped messing with anything like that
so you just leave your heat ing on at all times?
heating? even dumb thermostats these days auto swap between heat and ac dependent on the temp desired
I just found I used more energy getting the house back up to comfortable temps when coming home than the system does to maintain those temps throughout the day
yes that is why I asked
because also there is increased comfort at very little extra cost if you just leave it
I tried it the other way and the discomfort of having to sit through the temperature change every time is very frustrating, not worth the small savings
I just check outside/inside temps and also the flow temperature to determine from there what to do for my floor heating
flow temp?
the water temperature flowing through the heating system
oh
Quite low for under floor heating I am guessing!
My shunt was throwing out 30C ish water, earlier
For normal radiators, it is cozy in here
surprised radiators are still a thing
Retro fitting under floor heating isn't always so easy
yup
you should see my parents heated veranda windows
fuck those things get hot
could roast a baby
wow, roasting a baby, there's a picture for ya
My house is from 1943/1944, and I like those old style radiators
That would be terrible
One of my childhood friends had a microwave that could fit a fooking toddler
jesus that was huge
The toddler or the microwave?
Whatever you do @last cedar don't mention the war to the house
industrial microwaves are awesome
3 second perfect cheezburger
friend in NJ had those in his apartment. I swear there was only modes during winter. You were either sweating or shivering lol
4500watt cheezburger
this wasn't industrial, just from the 80s
I bet TV signals were broken for neighbours in a 4km radius when they cooked something in it
You can say I jest, but my MIL microwave from the 90s, whenever we were there with my eldest the baby monitor would cut out if you used it, and we weren't in the same room
oh so thats where the roasted baby metaphor came from
I am quite lucky, heating system was designed for burning oil (high water temp), the outer walls are being insulated next year, got great windows installed, loft is being insulated soon properly and swapping doors, heating system is grossly overpowred, a very cozy 20,5 to 21C in here, no draughts as it is now
I would imagine insulation would be your enemy not your friend
We had a Bose remote control (with lcd) that would cut out when the customer used their microwave, that was probably 2012
spends a lot of money in insulation but has to leave the door open to vent out the heat
Less heating needed to keep it warm, with the same settings on the radiators
Oh no, I have thermostatic valves, so it can't get too hot
They stop the flow when it gets too warm, saves a bunch of energy, and have a 500L tank for more efficient burning of pellets
I've never seen a house with water heating in norway, just apartment buildings
why no wood burning broiler?
It technically is, but in pellet form 😄
then what "energy" are you saving?
Tank is kept between 60C and 80C, the less wwater going through the radiators means water is warmer when it gets back to the tank, so it saves heating the water more than is needed
Water returns at higher temperature
Well, it would be saving electric if I used electric to heat the water
our house has 3 floors and is lously isolated, re-isolating it would not really be worth the effort
Plan is to try and integrate an air water heat pump, to use solar energy
I made a pellet stove once
it recycled the smoke, feeding it back into the chamber
so that it burned twice with very little emissions
i wired solar panels directly into a resistive heating element in the water tank so far, works well enough for now
I am very lucky, house is very poorly insulated now (lots to gain) and is timber, so very easy to isolate with 50 or 80mm on the outside
i have a upper and lower water temp sensor in the 300L tank
That is pretty nice tbh!
the lower water gets used for in-home heating aswell, the upper only for sinks and showers
wood, water, oil no thanks
As it is now, there is a 3kW immersion heater, but we only use it for tap water, too expensive to heat house unless something is broken
I do have an oil space heater i use in the garage sometimes, but heats via electric
yeah but all those solar panels come from china ^^
The pellets are good.buy them locally (2km from here), he makes it from sawdust from local saw mills, can't really be better for the environment
do you use those thermo powered fans to scoot air around the house @last cedar ?
I see those in mobile off grid vids all the time sitting ontop the pellet stove
Nope, radiators in every room apart from food cellar and furnace room
The pellet machine is in its own room in the cellar
radiators don't push outwards tho
If it was a stove I would defo have fans
true, but if the energy is free (solar), its nice
Will be some natural circulation with more/ less dense air, and there is a mechanical ventillation system with recycling of heat and cool, so the air is moving
ah
I realised quickly that the air quality here was crap, condensation inside a couple windows
And that was before I had put in good windows, once the house was more air tight it would have been a disaster
you'll certainly need one of those air exchanger thingies
Now we have a LOT better climate
i suggest you to stay between 60 & 70
60 kills bacteria
70 makes the minerals in the water deposit on the bottom of the tank
Yeah, I was actually wondering about "storing" unused electric as heat, by using the immersion heater, mostly spring and autumn
But an air water would use less energy per kW of heat
if you have a fresh water system, stay under 70°c
if you got an actual storage tank, you can yeet it up to 90°c
I am a bit limited, if the burns are too short the efficiency of the burner is crap, the ash builds up (temp is a lot lower in the chimney etc) so it is a bit of a balancing act
I am thinking of increasing it from 80C to be honest, make longer burns, less frequently
I think the burner has a cut out at 88C, 85 should be good
you dont need to push >60 every day, its enough to do it once every couple of days or even every week
does your tank have a port to be cleaned? then all you gotta do is clean it every couple of years and you can heat it up to 90
Someone is at home every day, at some point, so the water is never still very long, so that is a good idea
Whole system should probably be flushed to be honest, after this season
we've never done that in >10 years, we only replaced the old steel tank with stainless steel recently, as the old one was leaking already
The one I have now wasn't new when it was installed
I believe it is all copper
But I need to confirm
copper tank? interesting
It is the right colour on the outside to be copper, at least
:D
And I believe it was mentioned
There is a giant coil for solar water heating too, currently unused
We do it all ourself, but granted, it does look and act like it
That is where I was thinking about an air water
The fan motor on my roborock s5 died after 4 years of daily use and eating kids toys and my wifes hair
waiting for a new one from aliexpress
but jeebus, have to dismantle the whole thing to change it
Get a fresh air system… it’s amazing
You can buy your wifes hair on aliexpress?
I can buy your wifes hair on aliexpress too
I already did
and it smells wonderful
I don't have a wife 😦
Not anymore you do
She's mine now
That's just a normal norwegian ventilation system from the last 40 years
ah.. I live in texas so I do not need a heat exchanger
laughs in -35c
27c here
hmm a coaxial build with the stale air on the outside duct would heat the fresh air from within the inside duct
which reminds me.... i need to get up in the attic and wash my fresh air filter
like a coax cable https://www.l-com.com/images/coax_cable-construction.jpg
That is what I have installed now 😄

My intake/ exhaust are side by side, so not quite coaxial, but almost 🙂
so there is -some- heat exchange between them.
Yes, the actual unit does the heat exchanging (and cool exchanging), it has a rotating heat exchanger
no, I meant on top of that
cos the outtake is already hot and the intake is cool presumably this time of year
so the outtake gets to impart a bit of the heat it has to the intake just by juxtaposition
hey anyone know of a script that clicks not interested and "i dont like the video" for shit recommendations on youtube? I found one for hiding seen videos but not for this
there is a limit how many channels / videos you can tell youtube to not recommend
i think it is 80 channels / videos or whatever
fifo
no, farts are fino
vino?
How will it tell shit recommendations. It's all personal preference after all
yeah exactly
I'd tell it first
sorry my bad, what I meant was, a script that makes a button out of the whole ordeal and slaps it on the thumbnail
I don't know if people noticed this but the main way that google services are set up is so that they keep you there as long as possible
it has nothing to do with what you like, dislike, do or not do
the "not interested" button barely works
even if you click I dont like the video aftrwards, it still doesn't care
it's a psyop basically so you feel heard
which is why it lets you comment stuff then shadowbanning your comment without letting you know. The reason for it matters little, my point is just that it won't let you know so that you stop. It keeps you going
i dont know, but the google algorithms fail hard with me
don't know if it helps but piped could be helpful if you fight this much with the algo
i'm using newpipe on my phone already
using youtube on my pc mainly for music, until it annoys me so much i switch to adblocked spotify
yeah sorry for the rant :p just needed to lay out my point
been using newpipe too on my phone, and FreeTube on the pc
both with sponsorblock
will try Piped now
i've been using youtube less and less the last two years
yeah Google is like a teenager that just stumbled into a high-paying job
the second someone with vision comes along, everyone will forget google instantly
you won't even believe how fast it'll happen, it'll be surreal
@forest edge The 24W USB-Hub didn't solve it. I thought to myself, maybe there was already too much juice: so I added 5m cable and 2 unpowered 2.0 HUBs between the zigbee-stick and Pi400.
It now works, after 11 hours of pain
So the SSD made the Pi deliver to much power to the USB ports, which effected the zigbee stick
Using a powered hub was counter-effective
Who'd ever guess it this would be the situation, one more complication!
that dosen't make any sense. you stated the stick was unresponsive not that you were having interference
and wtf stick are you using? 5m cable and 2 usb hubs to make it work? stay away from aliexpress
I stay away from aliexpress on principle :p
AliExpress is fine for cheap ZigBee stuff
I said not working and shared the log.
The stick is actually well known. Conbee II from phoscon
Wait 24h and see if the conbee still works
It has been working for the last 4 hours, fingers crossed
@harsh heath sounds like you got some kind of other issues going on. you said you had the stick already on a 1m cable off the side. that should have worked just fine.. not this 5m and 2 hubs janky thing your talking about now. you should still use the powered hub for the ssd regardless
glad my tubz zigbee coordinator isn't that finicky
hardware is 1 year old, used always the original power adapter, was never shut down abruptly. I am certain weakening the signal had been the solution, 1m cable was not enough.
A year back I had experienced similar thing with my mouse's 2.4ghz receiver. Tried multiple things, powered usb hubs, more sheltered cables, 3.0 cable...
Solution was to weaken the signal by using a long 2.0 cable.
Some stuff don't like to have a fast and powerful connection
regardless you were going to have power issues serving a ssd and a zigbeee stick using usb power off the pi
yeah another powered hub never hurts. I'll use it elsewhere when I switch away from the Pi for HA
Interesting 🤔
hey how do I install this thing, Im on windows btw
I mean I see a deployment instruction from the command line but it kinda feels like it's for linux? idk
the general consensus is that if you are deploying on windows you're doing it wrong
WSL at a minimum. VirtualBox is better but still bad
I have my Ha running in a virtual box
wouldn't wanna add more stuff to said box, overencumbering
thought this was a software to install not like a server to have to run separately
it is much better served running on a server
if you want to run other things with it, you're better with docker
well I should think so, it had better
but thats not my use case
I mean did you even click the link?
ah, nope. sorry, used to people complaining about installing HA on windows
doesn't look like they provide non-docker install instructions
if you dig around you might be able to find the dockerfile and recreate it locally but i wouldn't recommend it as then you wouldn't be on a supported path by them
thanks for your help
I found a website that seems to get me where Im going
it was in the description https://piped.kavin.rocks
seems to be the same thing just hosted by them and not me
could work
lol many of the EV's in florida are catching fire after being flooded by the hurricane
I think that's the critical piece that's missing. Transparency. ML as it is today is inherently opaque, we're building this "dumb" neural network and treating it like a black box, kinda because we have to. But that's no excuse to throw up our hands and walk away. I think what will finally sell it for tinkers and enthusiasts is systems (probably hobby-time FOSS software) that focuses on letting you manually manage the training process: adjusting priorities, curating training data (i.e. "I had a party this weekend, ignore these dates and/or use them for a different model"), even revision control
4000 soldiers, US 101st deployed to Romania-Ukraine border
I am starting to sweat 😰
And that's where the fun is.
There is no Foss/hobby market for anyone to deliver to
i dont :p
the refund process is fairly consumer friendly and its great to save some bucks if you dont mind waiting 2 weeks for your crap
no, its more expensive the majority of times
That sucks for docker, in general.
yeah, it's the same as freetube though
the service I mean
I already have that so I'll stick with it
Go away from that starter drug called Windows
Time for the gud stuff
Im a newfag, and proud of it :))
I like linux more if Im honest, but just can't get into it on account of the programs not running natively
gotta go through wine, etc
What? You put everything through wine before testing it native?
You miss out so much
I don't
because Im not running Linux. This is what I remember from back in the day :p
I needed Fruity Loops to run, and couldn't audio was choppy, had no asio drivers
not to mention games
which just couldn't be done back then
but with windows, it just worked
Dll hell
lol you are not missing shit with linux. you want to run a server type scenario, some flavor of linux all the way but as a daily web surfing, game playing, video watching driver... windows all the way
No issues doing audio production in linux @ashen parrot best regards musician
maybe not now
but 12 years ago sure
anyway there's no point in arguing something couldn't be done
usually you can do anything if you can and have the know how
and I was no expert
but as I said, no drivers
used the same settings as in windows, but the latency was horrendous
which was a bummer for me because I needed it for live
There also no advantage to browsing or videos on windows
The only bastion it got is games
one stop shop you say
and the latency was the exact reason I went for Linux cos I had heard that it handled it better than Windows
Nah, driver landsacpe used to be worse
But MS is annoying more and more larger shops, so it's worth investing into Linux a bit more
And the generally more mature subsystems help writing them as hobbyists
linux desktop has gotten much more mature the recent years, but still lacks behind years in some aspects compared to winbloat
ubuntu sure did try
I think it's like that with all industry. I mean there's no point in selling stuff unless you got the edge right? once the dust settles, everything eventually becomes open source
go away from me with crapbuntu
oh all linux flavors ubuntu was the only one that actually became an optional secondary choice of os for pc buyers
not sure if it still is, but was
maybe in another 50 years we might find more linux
Probably not
Though there's some people picking up passkeys, which is cool
I did music mastering in linux in 2005, it was cumbersome, but doable
it was totally fine in 2010
and it is getting better
don't buy shitty hardware you see 😄
also, most high end stuff is midi controlled anyway, so no drivers needed
well you need it for the controller itself, not for the plethora of devices on the midi ring
and that is no issues
looks at my perfectly fine EMU0404 USB running under linux
I mean who uses midi for the sound, lol
looks again at the EMU0404 that does low latency audio in and out
nah man couldn't use half my controllers, not to mention the audio cards
And yes, the EMU0404 is from 2006, and has been supported in linux since then
i had no issues running my pc with linux
just all the one million tiny cuts linux is having made the experience miserable
that worked
i have a usb mic, usb soundcard and a nvidia gpu
I've probably had 4 driver issues with linux the last 20 years
and all were obscure devices
I get it, you're edgelording. But you're not talking to someone who just gave up...
I actually needed it to work
2 hours, 6 hours and a roughly a week getting the shifty drivers to semi work right for each device too huh
and wanted
The only reason I have run windows since 2003 is because of games, since I stopped gaming on PC in 2015 there was no need anymore
heck, WoW ran.. fine in Wine
lol wow.. only took 20 years to reach that point too
I ran both in parallel for a year, booting windows just for games
all worked out of the box, except the nvidia gpu which was just clicking for 10 minutes until it worked
lol
I actually still have my old distro lying around on an old hard drive
but don't have IDE :))
PATA. SATA is still ATA
boohoo words
i gave linux desktop a shot a year ago, but its been all the minor annoyances that needs to be fixed that stopped me from using it
windows just works 99.99% of the time, while linux only does 99%
the bulky one, that needed a 4 pin separately just for power
IDE = PATA
SATA is still separate connector for power
oh so I got it right the first time lol
come on now.. don't go fibbing
that one, PATA is the one I meant
Windows works like 9% of the time when I touch it D:
linux is like a hard 60ish%
and whats worse, your current mood when choosing a flavor vastly changes which headaches you will have to deal with after install completes
^^
they're on their way out
zuck is a one trick pony
that stole it from some other guy
and bought another one off
or two
Haven't had an outage in telegram since I started using it
I think the next innovation in social media gotta involve the blockchain in some way
like for free speech or sumshit
so that they couldn't delete comments
Blockchain was made for communication and verification, but woops here comes capitalism
well I meant in an open source way
cos ppl could check the chain
and see the censored comments

:)) all hail
The elites don’t want you to know this but the shopping carts at the store are free

This was true back in the Win7 days but Windows has been getting progressively worse and now it's more of a "pick your poison"
Windows generally has better hardware support but it has attitudes about how and why you should use your computer
Fedora 36 has taken considerably less tweaking to make pleasant than win11 did (issues with ostree and Flatpak-all-the-things aside but Silverblue is experimental for a reason)
I still don't like flatpak
Mixed feelings tbh. It is a solution to Linux's biggest problem (rampant library ABI instability). A brute-force solution that sacrifices a lot to avoid a tangling with the developer attitudes underpinning the instability problems... but it does work. The sandboxing stuff is well-meaning but ultimately a cure worse than the disease because desktop apps are built around a UI design philosophy that's fundamentally incompatible with good security and people are used to it.
I find snap packages unbearable too, and they are ridiculously slow
Well, yeah, snap sucks

when you work for an american company and suddenly get $2000 extra payment for some reason
and I have to dig to find out what it is
"retention bonus"

apparently I got something three years ago they are paying out over 5 years if I stay with the company
on top of the other bonuses
I just forget it every year
you can probably just write them a check with "I wasn't planning on leaving anyway..." on the "memo" line
they havin a laugh?
callin people retentive an shit
To he honest, $2000 doesn't seem like it would do much for retention, either. You couldn't get more than that out of a future employer who wants to hire you?
A big pile of RSUs with a 2-4 year vest would be more interesting
Well, it was multi faceted, it was 2000x5 + $10k in stock, plus a 20% pay raise
Stock is due to be paid this Christmas, so hoping for it to go up to previous levels
It's currently rising
It was 10 at the time, currently worth 13
<obligatory stonks gif here>
Both the retention bonus and the stock options is very American though, no Norwegian employer i know of does stuff like that
Perhaps competition is more of a threat here
Not sure about that, heck, probably less than 5% of the Norwegian population has stocks at all
It's just a foreign concept
That's where the $profit is
I'll trade base and bonus for stock in a good company pretty much any day
Stock doesn't add to pension either
Base pay does
Bonus doesn't either for that matter
Which is why we prefer base pay upgrades
I still have a traditional pension due from when I used to work at Motorola. That is a foreign concept here these days
We have state pension, plus employer pension, plus self pension
All go into the same account that state owns
I need to decide whether I want to cash it out and just fold it into my other investments
I still haven't done a single investment in my life
not foreign just limited
The investments they have it in are doing well, so it's actually growing
Pretty sure Mot/Lenovo doesn't do it anymore. They were moving away from it when I left 15 years ago. More of an old American company thing
wages went up so perks like that went down. that's why i said limited
some companies shifted from doing things like that to just offering better health plans etc
Opt out 401(k)
some companies though just remain traditional. like Cerner
State calculator says if I earn what I earn now for 30 more years I'll have $80k a year in pension
my dad worked at a corn starch plant for most his life and they been absolutely awesome with my mom in care and he's been gone for a very long time
Until I'm dead I guess
pension from an american company? pretty sure there has to be some norwegian goverment interaction there
Health care is the bigger issue, which is definitely an American thing
medicare isn't bad tho
<watching a Medicare commercial now>
Outside of stuff like ibuprofen and paracetamol I don't think drug commercials are legal here
if you work for a company most your life thjey all offer some type of supplemental coverage that is dirt cheap that when coupled with medicare means you don't pay a dime for anything
Then again, alcohol advertising isn't legal either
other than the supplemental plan of course
512gb... are you ok atx?
go quadruple, raid10 baby
soo, nothing?

Good thing I'm getting paid for this, because washing and folding kids clothing is a time consuming job
Nice IKEA bags

Just wait for the new update, 37 critical alarms 🤣
Updates I am scared of
I don't do them
I skip like 10 updates
Than close my eyes and do it all at once

norway about get fooked https://youtu.be/B9MHbFbGUio
Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store on Wednesday accused "foreign intelligence" services of being behind a recent slew of "unacceptable" drone flights in the country, indirectly pointing the finger at Russia. Earlier Wednesday, Norwegian police had announced the arrest of a Russian -- the son of a close confidant of President Vladimir Putin...
@clear ferry about to have his car seized by the government then
This is how I know how much laundry the wife did today…
tell her to stop washing clothes
It’s fine, I’m not going to fold them for her
Nah beasthouse should just play more video games
I actually read it as tell her to stop wearing clothes initially
That also works, less washing
Two kids and my two sets of clothes every day piles up still
I miss wfh for just having one set of clothes for the day, now I have work clothes and casual clothes
Sometimes I go thru 3. Gym, work, and after work
I do wear my clothes for a couple of days usually, except underwear
makes me sad as a person who goes from point A to point B on a bicycle, regardless of the weather.
at least I buy every cloth in black
so it's practical to wash
but I do look like a metal-person all the time
i'm currently applying to a job, where i can comfortably walk to
and its not home office
driving a car to work is rather expensive and i dont really like bicycles
yeah it has disadvantages, I'll prob lose my knees soon
how so?
I wish I could bike to work, but its either uphill steeply both ways to/ from work (goes past foot of a mountain) or a out of the way 12km route
get a pedelec/e-bike
12km would be like 20 minutes on the bike, easy
I am nowhere near that fast on a bike lol
Thought about it but expensive
From my old place it was 5km and hilly to work, took me sometimes like 17 mins
That’s with traffic and lights etc
Still a decent amount to put out
That’s what she said
I ride so hard that my eyes go black, that'll be the reason lol
ouch
Especially given driving is very convenient, 10-15 min during peak hour, 5-10 non peak hour
What peak hour?
how much are you paying for it tho?
To the airport, chokes during the 8-9am rush lol
$9 for parking, I can cop that
and fuel, wear and tear?
yeah
Y'all and your bike nonsense
I rode one in 2003 last
I'll just go pickup @last cedar in the xc90, they can sit in the trunk like a filthy dog
Currently reading Neuromancer
And I'm furious there is no proper adaptation of this book series
It would be awesome as a TV series
Too much for a movie or trilogy of movies tbh
They're fun
We are no longer in march
I can't find much more other than NL tops the prices for consumers now
As per 30 Oct, these are my tariffs
€ 0.95685 per kWh (day tariff)
€ 0.72336 per kWh (night/weekend tariff)
€ 3.39548 per m3 gas
For new customers the rates are even higher
We have per hour tarrifs
I'm on 26c/kwh, need to upgrade my plan to go down to 23c/kwh, could get as low as 18c/kwh but I don't wanna do time of day tarrifs
But will see what partner thinks and maybe we cop it
paying for electricity, pathetic
Yeah we have a couple of suppliers that do that too in NL. But I have solar panels, which makes that really not attractive to use. We have a law that allows us to use the grid as a battery. For example, if produce 5 kWh to the grid this afternoon, I can freely pick it up from the grid again at night.
This is extremely nice (and a bit stupid), but with hourly pricing it doesn't work like that. In those cases I will get paid the (low) energy hourly price for my over capacity during the day and have to buy expensive again at night.
its horribly stupid
as a matter of fact, on a yearly basis: Everything solar produced in a year will be subtracted from my total energy usage bill over the whole year. I only pay the difference (or get paid if I produced more at that point).
so right now... I'm actually reclaiming my energy I've produced this summer
Huh time of use is actually really good deal, especially given I can home assistant control all heating, cooling, and dishwasher usage
Especially given peak is only 5 hours of the day
this is one of the worst solutions a country can come up with
it's a huge subsidy
and who has to pay for it? everyone else who dosnt have solar panels
that's kinda how government subsidies work, yes
and the more people that get such a solar contract, the more instable the electricity network gets
We have something called „Grundversorgungsgesetz“, I could theoretically quit my current contract and still have the right to get energy at the lowest price from the state. This would be the best if you don‘t have excessive draw and can level out with solar and still get the needed Hz from the supply. Would end up paying less than 5C/kWh BUT its a legal gray area.
how would you pay 5c/kWh in germany?
in germany? I have no idea
We should get back to €0.001 soon
That seems like an unreasonable concern given how power grids work. It's not like they're going to remove all of their generation capacity.
And how the output from solar can be decently predicted based on the weather.
I'm curious if adding solar to existing infrastructure has ever caused a degradation in grid reliability.
@prisma briar It is not an unreasonable concern, as a matter of fact, it is reality and a pretty hard issue here.
The grid in some parts of our country isn't able to handle all solar power flowing in
Power grids are not one magical working collection of wires, where you can throw in 10kW at any end and get 10kW out of it (give or take some losses) on the other end. Power grids were planned and designed many years ago, where end-user creating and unreliably forcing their own electricity in, was not a consideration.
One of my cars support V2G, curious if my charger will support that soon
But why would you want to use it?
V2G is that the mode where the car acts as another battery for the house?
Yes
So during peak hours I can use the battery instead of grid
Then charge it during cheap hours
Similar to Tesla powerwall
ooh right, you have a various price point plan
Yes, 95% do
Same with bank loans
It's roughly 5/95 there too

@tidal bronze just saw that there is a lawnmower simulator game. should have your wife get that for you for Christmas so you can experience what you been missing.

We had 6 weeks strike in schools when they started up, so far we have two weeks of strike in kindergarten
Thankfully I'm not affected yet
Oh interesting,we are now the largest gas exporter in Europe
I thought Russia was still bigger
they blew up their own pipe, so why would they export much?
why arevthe schools and kindergarten striking?
Pay
Come think of it, we had 12 weeks of Aviation strike this summer too, but that was Europe wide
kindergarden and school jobs are really exhausting, i do hope they get their raise
All respect to kindergarten workers
Because fuck kids are stupid
Best regards father of two
I could never do that job, and even less at those pay levels
Appears to be €43k a year average now
yeah exactly and that low payment in addition to dealing with those small crackheads really makes that job unappealing for new people



Finally getting my desk somewhat in order
Connected my Streamdeck
Connected my Wacom
Connected my 4ch mixer
Getting my podxt live running
I shelved my wacom for now D: don't ever use it
It used to be my wifes, she used it for drawing but stopped, I just picked it out of her drawer after 5 years now
gonna use it for presentations
same with the stream deck
might be nice to draw on presentations, I guess
but I don't do many
And again, for people who say tech doesn't work in linux, behold everything I connect
I'm even currently helping develop a native UI client for the podxt for linux
that'll be nice
now I just need to get my midi ring setup properly
what is the podxt? Looked like distortion and similar for E instruments
getting ready for going back to 80% work, aka sitting at my desk doing cool stuff instead of watching the baby 😄
PodXT Live is a pedalboard with a lot of built in modeling stuff
plus it is an interface for my variax 300
a digital modelling guitar
pretty nice for playing banjo here and there, or 12 string, or bass, or just playing ANY tuning you want without retuning the guitar
reminds me, I should check if my corp laptop runs on pipewire for audio
wtf is pipewire
the 4th audio standard for linux 😂
grown in IVI applications but slowly taking over desktop class systems
wtf, not heard of that one yet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it also does video, for some reason
One of the ideas behind it is to have the server figure out how much it can wire in hardware and direct interconnects.
Also has a somewhat sensible priority system. radio < navigation < assistants and such
ah yes, audio sinks in linux. every new standard fixes the issues of the predecessor
i stopped at alsa
f* pulseaudio
who needs a pulse either way
main advantage of pulse is IMO the ability to control which audio devices are used from outside applications
so I can send stuff to places without support inside the app
pulse has been fine for me
so was alsa a decade ago
apparently the midi software I'm trying now supports pipewire
It was a bitch and a half to get Bluetooth audio working with a headless pi
pipewire acts as pulse server and I think alsa sink. so things should just work with it, even if they don't support it natively
そのとりですか

I've found Pipewire to be a mess so far on my work laptop. I've had weird intermittent issues ever since Fedora switched over to it.
And it just will not work with my laptop's built-in mic. Pulseaudio is happy with it all though.
Well, what about the thumbprint reader on my laptop? (USB IDs are 138a:0097, let me know if you find a different answer)
Or the AverMedia C127 capture card I have laying around
Or my Pimax headset...
Linux hardware support is, if it doesn't need a real driver because it just implements some standard (e.g. USB HID), it's virtually guaranteed to work
If it's millions-of-units-shipped popular, it probably works but no guarantees
Everything else, roll the dice
If you think Linux is bad, look into the number of Windows audio APIs there are. Are, present tense, because they're all still fully implemented in Win11 today
I 💯 agree with this statement. At the kindergarten level, let’s face it, they are basically free babysitters. Sure, they start the learning process but yea…..free baby sitters.
Every night
Not root comes out of his cave
And show us de wey
We have to be grateful
Haven't had issues with thumbprint readers on my laptop the last 15 years at least, capture cards are usually a pita ime
Here they are basically free, unsure about the us rates, I've heard $40k a year for a kid
That is, our kindergarten, which is 0-5 years, 8h a day, 3 meals, 5 days a week for $300 for one kid per month, $500 for two, and in the northern regions now free for up to three kids
sounds like communism to me

they teachin kids to become well red? ^^
😄
hey guys was thinkin about active noise cancelling
like there's a mic on the outside of the earplug that reverses polarity presumably
which along with the passive noise reduction, it cancels out the outside signal
if you were to separate what the mic picks up it would work in a room too
like with a mic and speakers I mean
active noise canceling for cheap
all that's left is to get a contact mic and slap it on the ceiling to cancel out my darn neighbour

Jawohl!

hmm, which is also coincidentally a treat, come to think of it 😄
It made me rage so much. Ended up having to run a cheap Chinese tv-box instead of a Intel NUC for my Kodi station because I just could not get the audio to work properly. Absolute pain
Made even worse by the fact that on Windows everything just works and you have tools like Equalizer APO that allow you to do all sort of things with a simple GUI
If Windows is both simpler and more advanced you've done fucked up
I was having my Nissan Leaf for service today, the shop had a lot of interesting looking EVs for sale
The Byd TANG was smaller than I imagined, but it looks very nice
the MG5 was actually not that bad either
and the Ioniq5 was bigger than I anticipated
EV6 is pretty comfy for backseat as well. I'd expect the Ioniq to be similar
Yeah, I'm still bummed I didn't buy the Hongqi, maybe next time 😄
hm, Hongqi doesn't have sales in the EU at least
There are hundreds of them on the road here already
so probably also can't get a license for them here, but I assume you'd be fine taking it from Norway
Last numbers i find are 800 ordered
yea, they have a Norwegian sales operation
surprised there is not a nanopi os for ha

i would pay big time for the right m.2 key coral right now. can't even find them though
the dual TPU one?
i mean, i would prob be happy with just a single tpu. haven't really dug into using a dual tpu and they seem to be problematic.
will put my old rpi collection up for sale today, lets see what happens
maybe I'm rich tomorrow
That is only a part of it 😅
#PiFetish
you need a m.2 adapter then? what is the problem with the coral?
cant buy them now
oh right, I wanted to check if I can get one at some point o.0
the corals? or the adapter?
i have the optiplex 7040. pretty sure the m.2 B+M key coral will work. been trying to find ine for iver a year.
usb is no option?
cant get those either
although i have someone willing to give me a usb one, just need to pick it up. hopefully next week as it is a coup,e hours away
corals. The adapters are easy to find
I think they are easier to get in Europe. I wonder if the team sits here
yea, but the adapter wont do anything 🙂
can you use a dual tpu, one to do object recognition and the second to do facial recognition or you need a gpu to do facial recognition?
I guess you can do both on one tpu
yea, its been a pain to find internet info explicitly with my setup
to see if someone is actually doing it and how.
corals were so cheap it would be worth it to get one for each but would love to see it documented as working and them they basically became unavailable in the US
i honestly cant even find what to spin up for facial recognition using a TPU 🤷🏼
all-beloved LTT put up a video once where they show what and how they use for that
I'm not going to recommend you watch that, guess this will have consequences on this discord
Did he setup face recognition?
he did but with an extremely expensive gpu
from memory, like 4k
so that's a no for me dawg
it looks like double take will do the recognition and works with frigate. sigh still no tpus 😜
It’s amazing how the laws of physics don’t apply to AliExpress. This power bank, sized for about 5-10k mAh capacity? 20.000! That one, sized for an optimistic 20.000? That’s 50.000!
I wonder how it would work out if you do an actual test, capacity turns out to be 0.25-0.5 of what is advertised and you ask for a refund of a corresponding percentage of the price.
I mean, they surely know damn well that they’re lying.
Ali usually refunds that stuff
Easier to just avoid it though unless you're knowing the risks

99.000 mAh! Pack of a size for maaaaaybe 5 at a push.
Yeah, the thing is, I was looking for a pack with specific features (usb c input port plus usb c built in cable), and the capacity of the pack isn’t really of great concern to me. The pi with its SSD is gone be drawing, what, 2 amps or so, maybe 2.5 max. So even a tiny 5 amphour battery gives two hours runtime, where I need, like, maybe 5 minutes.
finnaly. i can connect to my services with my subdomains securelly

Uh, yes. Are you doing facial recognition or just frigate? I am also guessing you are running on a server, not a m.2 nvme slot on a desktop motherboard.

Should I try another go on running emby instead of plex. Plex have given complete crap about their core users for years now
not trying to sound like i back plex. but what's the issue?
I think jellyfin is the new alternative flavour of the month.
But what sonoma said, what's the issue. Haven't had any issues with plex myself
I always liked and preferred kodi and while you can make it do pretty much if not everything plex does, the out of box part of plex is just too convenient for anyone who dosen't want to spend hours fine tuning their setup
not to mention pairing with friends libraries is just seamless and works

@forest edge in plex a lot of things are perfect, skip intro, plays well, many sharing opinions etc, but when elementary issues get ignored for the 3 year in a row i start to wonder ifvtge home consumers media they care about. Two ex. 1. When you finish a show and cluck back. The show is not marked watched before you refresh, and alsi it happens a lit lipsync after skip firward. Thus is for the lastest shield pro, but dir me i just want a enjoyeable time
never had the issue with click back and having to refresh. the audio mismatch when forwarding/rewind isn't plex. many many factors play into that
at the root they all do the same thing. the only differences is transcoding in plex
On appletv it works greeat though
Jellyfin does transcoding too, and its really good at it
I think "great" falls down to the hardware crunching it
@dusky plank but very immature alstikk. Im glad we are getting options as plex in general doesn’t reply anymore. As now and in 2,.years later they still haven’t replied. In alao thinkingbrunnung kodi with plex or emby
replied to what?
No thanks. We don't need that many children shot.

Hi all! Does anyone have an example of light control, as in the integration of Adaptive Lightnings, only through the HA itself?
I need from 7:00 to 13:00 so that the brightness increases smoothly, and the temperature of the light also smoothly changes from warm to cold. From 13:00 to 19:00 vice versa
You will have better luck asking in #integrations-archived or even google searching for an answer. Many videos made for HA and many ways to skin the same cat such as https://youtu.be/c1cnccmgl3k
