I guess that's the next test: if we can make recursive training work, literally AI training AI
well, thats already simple enough for some things.
Such as image-generation ai being used to create a butt-ton of images, then have humans partial parse them, retrain with new data, and estimate on the remaining butt-ton and repeat
i dunno, people are probably already working at it and kids will just call me "gradpa" for not getting it
we will at a minimum reach a point where AI is capable of completely supplanting human labor in all forms and leave us with absolutely nothing productive to do ourselves. Whether we actually let them take over is a bit of an open question.

I've dropped both kids off at kindergarten and I'm doing landfill and cleaning house today
Also I bought some pinnekjøtt
My laptop server is dying ("what a shock!" I heard you all say). Any suggestions for something in the $200usd range?
Any used laptop with a broken screen, any minicomputer
Should be $100 or thereabouts
Or just fix the one you have
yeah, i got the busted laptop, i don't know what the hell is going on
can't boot it up because of irq 9 issues.
i'm inclined to get something more stable/purposeful since i've got other stuff running on it like plex/photoprism/bittorrent
the pi won't be cutting it for all that, but i can get HA up, at least
Dl380 gen9 ain't wrong
A shoebox and an old laptop
also some hot glue
@finite atlas can help you with the setup
I hope I'm pinging the right weirdo o.0
just keep buying laptops every 8 months, lol
looks like $4-500 + accessories. looks like a lot of fun though
Wtf are you doing? Both my laptop servers lasted 4 years after bring daily driver laptops for at least 4 years
i dunno man. i got this to replace the pi and it is rough
something to do with the i/o, i think
it's straight up shutting down. can't even boot to recovery. sometimes it turns off when i hit keys..
Sounds like a Fujitsu
Thinkbook or their own shitty stuff?
ideapad
Now, if you only lived in a civilized country you would still have 3 year warranty left

if only
not sure where I should put this, so I'll toss it here. been using HA for the last few months, and wanted a way to have all my lights and switches that are on or off grouped in a single card, so I can easily see what is on or off, without a giant mess, and woo found auto-entites, which is great, but then I had two cards, one with all my on stuff, and one with all my off stuff, then I found tabbed card, woo now I can have one card with both, and then couldn't get them to work together for a long time. well after the recent WAN show from LTT they talked about ChatGPT and how it could mess with code. so I fed it the documentation for both, asked it to code up a card with a tab for on and a tab for off, and it spit out code that worked the first try. which I have pasted here: https://pastebin.com/ZhPmm6gK in case anyone else is on the same thought line and grinding on the same problem
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
someone's giving an internal talk about home automation at work tomorrow. And they got an image with a Blue in the invitation
am i crazy or are NUCs overpriced?
Good little boxes I think
Check if it has an intel nic if you are anal about such things or want something that just works with everything
intel vs what?
looks like the g4 only has 1 option for nics (Intel I219-LM)
offered $100, see what i get. Amazon has refurbs for $220, this person has it listed for $265
I got x2 optiplex 3060's for $400 a couple of weeks ago and my buddy got an even better deal
are you NA/US?
yeah
i got a free desktop pc, did some upgrades for 80€ and it only used 15W from the wall
i7-6700, 4x8gb ddr4, 512gb nvme
added 5x 2,5" hdd's and it went to 25W
iirc, optiplex 3050 has a realtek nic, 7050 has intel, it could vary from model to model
https://www.reddit.com/r/homelabsales/comments/yrovpd/fsusacathinkcentres_m700_optiplex_30463060_3070/ message him and see if he has anything left. he probably does.
you dont need super small form factor pc's for low power consumption
hmm, that does look promising. pretty similar specwise to this g4.
quite willing to be told why i'm wrong about that
yeah, and there's no room for storage in these either, which is a bit annoying
Is it time for my semi-annual check-in? ☺️
yeah, they have more storage than I need
these are still pretty tiny, i suppose
Well, where've you been hiding? I took you for dead.
No matter. It's all the same. Lay out your arms, then
can always swap the m.2 if you need
will probably still need external storage, which is ok for me
yeah, seems like the move
yeah, I have a NAS doing stuff that needs storage so not really an issue for me
you can see x2 optiplex on the end, lol
i will probably be plugging a couple cheap external HDs into it... lol
till i get something better
I moved to a container install and had to hack your super-secret unreleased log addon to run as a standalone container 🙂
I got one of these optiplex for my container install. very nice thus far.
my pi ran pretty well but this is a bit snappier
this will be for basically all the "standard" containers
basic, perhaps, is more accurate
I moved most of my containers to it. plex things are still on nas because it works well
nice, seems about right
then the pi is running pihole and wireguard, wee
mine just has my backup adguard instance and zwave js ui (since it's more central)
oh, pi has cloudflared for dns over https too
update jellyfin, works much better since a few updates for me
i installed it via docker and have a watchtower container that updates it automatically
nice, i'll do that. I only started messing with it recently
well, sort of recently, been a little while now
biggest issue is no xbox support, so i have do deal with kind of a janky workaround
not super great for family use
Waking up to find the raspberry pi foundation bragging about hiring a cop who specializes in surveillance... ugh
Zzzzzzz raspberry pi
How fun when no volvo shops know why with a brand new (4500 nok) battery.
What on earth kind of dash is that
Looks like you are driving a racing game on the Xbox
2014 to 2016 V70 has the same one I think
Also
Yours looks like the starship bloody enterprise dashboard
I hate these modern screens
Give me analog meters anyday
Apart from.km/h, that has to also be digital
Raccoons can't use modern screens well
here, take this touchscreen stylus, racoon!
I like that dashboard. Its the performance theme. The normal one is boring
Performance on the 1.6D V70 you say
it's like flame decals, give you HP
I gotta say, being able to have a physical button i can smack when my network is being weird to automagically debug DNS is Really Quite Nice. Next I wanna finally get a smart outlet thing so I can do the same thing for rebooting the modem and router
Its a 250hp 2,4 V40 II - it go fast for such a small car
Just get proper gear, no need to reboot randomly
lol
Seriously, i haven't rebooted a gpon / modem or router for troubleshooting purposes in decades, I thought we were past this in the mid 00s
my router only goes down for updates or moving and my modem has been unplugged like 3 times in the last 4 years to move around. my ISP emails me as soon as it loses power, lol.
I need this

Yes matter, obviously. That’s the biggest (unusable) thing of this release! But yes, I am alive. I’ve been hiding in my little tiny house, away from all humanity.

how many "wasp" nests do you have nearby ?
Usually 1-2 every year
Anyone figured out how to have a Kathy Sagal hologram in their house for automations?

My tap water is looking great today.
wait, how did the title of my reddit post make it over to the imgur post?
You Americans and your water filters
I guess you can just chip off a piece of glacier....
not for much longer...
Oh man, the dishes I had washing when the water turned red stink of rust now.
Those are getting re-washed.
water main break?
I don't know what happened. I called my water company and they didn't have any insight.
They offered to mail me a water quality test kit in 4-6 weeks
It's basically cleared up now.
But it was like that for a couple hours
did you drink any of it?
well redish can be a few things. serratia is unlikely but if you devolpe a urinary tract infection then you know who to send the bill lol
I think it was rust that somehow got in the system
Maybe construction nearby or something.
skip the multi-vitamin today
would require a break in the line
My neighbors have contractors over for something, but idk what.
And they're like 3 houses down and across the street
water lines are under pressure. only way containments can enter is a break or from the source
now if the faculty used something like potassium to treat the water for bacteria that would also turn the water redish
I'm buying an HP Pro Desk 600 G4 mini for a new server tomorrow. 8GB ram and i5-8600t. Found on FB and offered $150.
Anyone know anything to look out for with these? Seems pretty straightforward.
also want to know if there is a preferred OS for a headless server, or if there's anything i should prepare now, rather than set up later. thinking mergerfs, for example (or better for external HDs?)
right now i'm just running debian and docker
Debian is a good choice
cool. seems like there's a lot of stuff out there, don't want to miss anythign obvious
templeOS
I read about that not too long ago. Quite interesting

DIY PoE power supply for a device that doesn't actually need wired ethernet
Apparently you can just shove 48v down some of the wires and it's happy
I always thought there was more to PoE than that
1g PoE does seem to have more, since it doesn't have unused lines like 10/100 does, but 10/100 is fine with just some voltage down some wires.
Well there's a handshake with anything other than passive PoE
The only reason that works is because Unifi APs support 48V passive PoE
I did actually check that before I tried this.
It probably doesn't need 90w though
Only 48v PSU I had.
Don't try what you did with anything that doesn't support 48V passive PoE though
I would've just bought an adapter but I couldn't find anywhere in town that sold them
This also was free.
Well, I guess I paid for the RJ45 tip
Just the tip?
TWSS
ah yes, free power supplies
free by the magic of having paid for it at a previous time
The PSU I got from work when I scrapped an old conference room system we had, the cat6 cable I got for free from a friend's dad who quit his job doing cable installs and wanted his truck empty.
I wish they just gave us old toys we have at work
I was told I couldn't keep the larger components but that nobody would mind if I took random adapters or power supplies from it.
I took the larger parts of it to get recycled
So I got a few power supplies and a couple usb cables from it.
wdym you can't keep the 85" 4k TV from the conference room?
I would've considered keeping one of the projectors but they were kinda old, kinda hot, and the bulbs were either cheap and yellow tinted/poor CRI or really expensive.
The bulbs were why we were getting rid of it. It got to the point where we could replace the projector with an LED one for the price of 6 months of bulbs.
they stopped selling stuff to staff entirely at some places here, because some consumer protection technically requires the company to provide support 😂
My company has some weird policies around giving/selling stuff to staff too. If anything is given out it has to be raffled off to the entire company, I don't think they allow selling at all.
Like 3 or 4 years ago we switched the model of SSD we were using in our servers due to high failure rates, we raffled off a hundred or so 1TB SSDs to everyone.

autsch, its wham!
This is why I don't like christmas songs
Shame! On you. I clearly got it, why do you ask?
Question, someone I know (the_cyberspace) is banned from this server, is there an reason for this?
If not, can the_cyberspace be unbanned / allowed to this server? 🙂
^the message he got
Let me see if the logs explain what they did
Probably something horrid
like shitposting all day in #the-water-cooler
I love how the Eurostar says no video streaming due to it being a 4G connection then doesn't block it
*Eurostar wifi
where are you going?
Someone here asked me how much the silent air compressor at my pool draws, I rewired it today (replaced an indoor wifi Plug with a shelly in a water sealed box).
8.7A@230V peak when starting with 6 bars of back pressure
2.64A continuous after the first peak
Paris
lol you call that good?
Last time I was here I could barely get 5 down and 2 up, so yes its good compared to that
He's Aussie
Lol
And I can still get 1000 down...
waiting for my Fiber Company to dill through the wall 😄
it's already in front of the house
Imagine not having fibre
<I can>
Running on LTE atm. XD but unlimited and only until they have time to connect my fiber 😄
I do think you quickly reach a point where the only reason you "need" more speed is to do things you shouldn't be doing...
I asked them already if i can just put a splicebox infront of the house and run the fiber to the rack myself and splice there fiber to it
Its why I only pay for 100 down. Literally noticed no advantage when I went to 1000 to try it out
they looked like "wait what" and then told me that I'm not allowed to splice to there fiber 😄
I wonder what speedtest reports on my corp system. I bet it's dumb
Why do you say its dumb?
Because I have ~0.1ms RTT to 8.8.8.8
in the Google DC, eh?
the laptop is a glorified ssh terminal. And does the client side of vscode 🙂
meh, no speedtest server is close. I only get 3Gbit/s symmetric
ohh, looks like the google speedtest isn't actually hosted by google
omg, moving a couple containers to my pi while my server is down. committed the cardinal sin of pulling 5 containers at once
so slooooowwww
need the pi5 for that
begged me for life
i wish i checked the time when i started. had to be at least 15 mins ago
and i have ssd on there
i guess it's an IO issue with usb/ethernet sharing resources or something
are you pulling onto SD?
no SD in there
using usb 3?
dunno if it has it honestly
which pi is it?
lol pi
are you in a 2.0?
my pi ran fine forever, lol
i have to go check
"forever"
it's truly painful
brb spin up 254 containers at once on my 8 year old server
lmao, atx
literally pulling 5 containets
I wonder how old my "new" machines are
my production system was released in early 2015
my lab system was released in early 2012
my old production was released in 2009
still run laps around a pi4 with an ssd
April 2018
isn't too power hungry either, now that I have 45ish containers running and 70TB of storage with a few VMs that I spun up yesterday it is still only 125w average
so two traditional lightbulbs
I'll surive
and I have redudnant boot drives, redudant power, redundant networking, redundant data storage
😄
you're redundant
i'm getting an hp prodesk 600 g4 today
I have 21 on my "container machine." and then I have 11 on my nas.
nah, this has an i5-8600t
pretty exciting to get away from this lenovo laptop i have, that doesn't want to function anymore
I went from dual X5660 to dual E2620-v3, quite a bit more power hungry
still performance upgrade by far
Max tdp yes
has to be usb 2.0, lol
lolol
I think we got DSL in las vegas in 1999 and then we had cable like a year later
I was a lil boy though
We had cable in 98 and dsl in 00
Y wat
ugh
Dsl was an upgrade in speed and stability
oh, I guess people that had 56k already had it ran
I am dumb
I forgot about that entire aspect of it, lmao
I got like 43kb
Then 10/10 fiber in 2005
giving me grief about host network mode and using ports
our cable was much better than our dsl
straight copy of my config from the other compute
you don't specify ports when using host
it's da host network
probably older version of docker compose if you're suddenly getting errors with the same config.
both 3.7
you should only need to use ports: if you're using bridge mode which isn't the friendliest with HA
if using host, it should just bind what's free. maybe HA auto increments?
(maybe why it worked)
uggghghh, thought this was gonna be easy, lol
don't you just have to specify the port in the config and you're good?
That's not true. If using host networking, HA will try to bind to 8123 (or whatever you specify in the http config like you shared) on the host and will fail if it's taken
I said that poorly but yeah, I was wondering if it would increment. good to know that it will not.
I looked at source and didn't see nuffin about incrementing but wasn't sure
abstraction!
updated proxy-confs, can't think where else i'd need to change my ip
you're going through a proxy?
swag/nginx
did you allow it in HA?
yeah it was all working before
it's on host mode. have you tried just directly with the port?
so i got a login, but it's on 8123, and my password doesn't work
server_port was already set up on 8124
You probably forgot the hidden folders
Did you transfer .storage?
just finding missing items
my mv command left the folder empty
but the files aren't there now
you used mv and not cp?
yeah
yeah to which, lol
gonna have to reupload
backup, okay, good
cp -r /source/. /destination should do it?
yeah, if you don't specify the individual folders/files, it should grab it all
omg, thank you

Anyone here have experience with custom keyboards?
Im sick of keyboards from every major company breaking in 2 years
more than switches just going out?
"breaking"
I built some keyboards but I'm boring atm and just using a ducky
for a first build, https://kbdfans.com/ makes it pretty easy
been using the same cheap office quality keyboard for like.. 10 years
probably a rubber dome, lol
they last forever but don't have the tactile feel many people like
yes but often orientated towards gaming for marketing and bullshit
major brands aren't really needed though unless you're after some proprietary switch that only specific nerds have.
i've sworn i will never go down that rabbit hole
I'm boring and just use cherry switches after trying a few
have for years, but are always sub-par quality with insane price tags
I have some switches I want to try but haven't done it yet
I've wanted to try zilent v2 78g for years, lol
$200 logitech? has ABS, not pbt double shot caps
the keycaps even snap off and shit
yeah, major brands aren't the best but he was curious if they made them, lol
i got enough stupidly expensive hobbies
avoid drones if you haven't got stuck with that yet
$100 specialty "budget" boards are better than $200 logitech etc
lol, im def into fpv
you in the bardwell discord?
no, been off the train for a bit
watched a hell of a lot of him tho
Dark rabbit hole
nice. you use ELRS?
A nice entry level for 100 becomes an upgraded 175 board and before you know it you're soldering your own together for $300, $500, or more, from the boutique boards and get a $100 fancy statement keycap for your ESC key
Don't. Do. It.
I must be boring because I tried some and then just use a ducky now. I do miss qmk but will make another one day.
Ducky are great for the price
my last keyboard was using gateron blues and they just kept failing
anne pro 2, and those entry mech are a huge upgrade over your average pleb board
so I ordered a ducky to get shit done, lol
but it just gets insane
still on frsky, been a while since i made any big upgrades
it was at the start of covid and all of the keyboard stock was gone
blew up my fc with too low amps
so that was a factor in killing my attention on it
you really neet to get off of frsky, lol
that's like the worst by a mile
what vtx, lol
and no, im not using dji
well I know
except it blew up
motors too stronk
got a little 3 inch rocket
fucking love the thing. def gonna get it back up next summer, i moved to a new place with a bunch of land, then promptly killed it
and i have a 1 and 3 year old and 1 million house projects
yeah my hobbies go in spurts
I left them in a state of chaos
and yeah batteries don't like that
busted out the mobula6 a few times
still fun as hell
those are neat, yeah
dedication to the cause
i finally figured out how to enable legacy boot, and now i cant boot from either of the flash drives i've tried
no wins on this taks
this ender came with a lot of parts
watching a video of dude assembling one and mine is diffrent. they must have updated it or something
You got the coyote lovers one, the other dude got the vastly superior raccoon lovers one
You have the two mixed up
that makes no sense. that would mean his is trash and mine is lean and sporty
It is reversed for 3d printers
The raccoon version is vastly superior because of the opposable thumbs
sound like those people who try and defend smart cars as if a roller skate moving at speeds over 30kph is somehow safe and environmentally superior
consoles.. another thing that just keeps going down the tubes
Just like raccoons

Anyone decently good with JSONpath around?
it's not the same as jq's syntax right?
I coudnt tell you, I have no knowledge of jq and only a little of JSONpath...
But the gut feeling is a definitive no. 🙂
then no. But you can still ask, maybe there's not much wizardry required
Sure... 🙂
I have a json response that doesn't look the same every time it is returned. There are keys included only in some results and not in others... Here is an example of a response I get: https://hastebin.com/wezavatidu.json
Hastebin is a free web-based pastebin service for storing and sharing text and code snippets with anyone. Get started now.
Within the address object, I want to return the value for the first of a set of keys if they are found, but only one key, the first it finds...

Am I asking too much? 😄
So for example, in the provided example response I would like to return nieghbourhood if it excists, but if not I would like to have suburb returned...
I'm just amazed there is something that returns keys arbitrarily
I agree... It makes interacting with it very hard...
oh, not building? o.0
they just omitempty the nul values
Hehe... Very few coordinates will resolve to a building so that will have a very low success rate...
so the order is your keys, not the order as returned i the document
Actually the order of the kyes in the response are always the same, provided the contents (keys) does not change
But yes, that means I have to match on key name not by order...
probably easiest to build a list of components with a syntax like https://stackoverflow.com/a/38097013 then filter out null values and just pick the first in the filtered list
I don't have a way to test json values, so I can't build the expression
Sorry, were afk, and correctly it‘s called Nusskadse
that was a while of being AFK
I got somewhere with the jsonpath issue of mine...
This JSONpath ($..address[town, suburb, city, hamlet]) does return what I need, but only if the first is a match. If the first key is not present it does not evaluate any of the others...?
Accidentally deinstalled discord 🤷🏼♂️

Lowest I'll ever go in a day is 30kwh
But 4 people, two EV, -13c outside
Let's see where I'm at now
127KWh to far today
laughs in 14kWh
How much has that cost you so far
Today? $56
Pricey
I'll probably get more than half of it back in subsides
$56 was almost all of my electric bill from last month
Haven't even got my first electric bill yet
This house's electric is a proper clusterfuck though...
So far this year I've paid $5600 in electricity
More than half of it back in subsides though
A Normal year I would use 35k kWh and pay $1000 probably
This year I've used 26k kWh so far and spent $5600

Any idea what this is?
It looks like the interface for my typical thermostat
I want to adapt this to a smart thermostat with home assistant integration
Yeah, looks like a furnace control board
That's the purpose of that thermostat, it's a manual control for the Electrical AC and Natural Gas Furnace.
Both tie into the same air ventilation system.
Could I perhaps make a tazmoto thermostat connected to HA, and integrate it directly to that control panel?
Or would I be best to use a ecobee or other smart thermostat with HA and then have a tazmoto controller at that control panel for the the thermostat?
I've seen both Ideas are possible, I'm just not sure what the cons/pros compared to either method.
ac/heat control board. it's also contains the redlink so you can wirelessly connect sensors and some thermostats to it
pricey little bastards. at least they were
Doesn't surprise me, my dad loved his utility system haha
Would I be best to just integrate into it?
If so how should I go around doing that?
Wow home assistant’s update adoption rate is insane
you can't integrate directly but Honeywell does sell a redline to wifi/lan hub
red link i mean
problem is it's api over cloud. gross
Ehh not so fun
yea if you are wanting full local control your best bet is to ditch the honeywell
well first I would google around. it's been a couple of years since I last dove into getting my honeywell into HA. maybe something recently will be able to do what you are looking for
I've got the furness, ac, gas fireplace, and in in floor heating zone... perhaps even a humidifier if I can troubleshoot it. That I would like to control.
I know they sell wifi thermostats but I think those also require internet for api access
Yea pretty sure they do since I last checked
I feel like I could just replace the Honey well system and leave it mostly in tact case anyone wants to reconfigure it
I've seen some people control in floor heating using a board running tazmota
I wonder if I could interface everything into one system?
as long as whoever installed it didn't cut the thermotstat wires short leading up the wall. the system I have is redlink and only uses the power leads of the thermostat wire from the furnace
installer almost cut my wires till i told him no
Dam, hope that's not the case
The gas fireplace should be the easiest, their pretty versatile
In floor heating is using it's own older knob based thermostat.
Since the in floor heating and gas fireplace handling heating completely on their own in one room, should I attempt to interface those two into their own shared thermostat that intergrates into Home Assistant?
And then have the AC and Furnace tied into a separate shared thermostat for the rest of the house?
Not exactly on-topic, but I figured people would get a kick out of this regardless
Mmmm!
first 3d print was a bottle cap for my cat since he's obsessed with them
came out really good
thought for sure it was going to be a mess
I know people here hate Linus Tech tips, but in one of his smart home videos he showed a tasmota controlled board with 8 relays (I think) which were used to control his under floor heating. In a similar structure I think to yours. Could probably do something similar/ take inspiration
He then uses ecobee (using Homekit to HA for local interaction) to control in the rooms & HA to be in the middle and turn the floor heating on for the room when the ecobee in that room requests heating
didn't he state in his latest video that the system didn't really work out all that well
Wasn't that because it just wasn't set up well + they couldn't figure out how to get them to link together?
Since the latest video it seemed as though it worked fine (except for his ecobees being heated stupidly by his reverse cycle controller)
Also no harm in taking what he did and doing it better lol
which reminds me, I wanted to try and see if I can find a power strip which measures (and potentially allows switching) of individual sockets
And if there's none, look into building one
think just buying a more HA friendly thermostat would be the better solution in the case of a single furnace with humidifier
Linus's sytem is what you get when you got money but no real idea how heating and cooling really works
TPLink has one
er kasa.. whatever they call it these days
Yeah as I said, do it better. Its why I do like watching his videos (and others), good to get inspiration to do it better
improving? On others' ideas? what is this? Fun?
Hehe good one
Yeah I've seen his video on it the other night
It's an intriguing concept but definitely needs some work
Exactly what I'm trying to avoid yet I'm a beginner with out the cash to burn haha
Very true, I was thinking I might wanna try using a diy tazmoto thermostat since I could probably use pre existing wiring to control it all from one place.
If the wiring is a no go, I could have any HA compatible thermostat upstairs and a tazmoto control board in the basement which is ironically where both the server and furnace exist.
I just read the T9 or T10 honeywell can work locally with HA using the homekit integration. might be your cheapest route
yea should just be plug and play since your system is already honeywell
i just amazoned the prices.. apparently inflation has made them retarded
use to be able to get the T9 as little as 60 bucks
the t10 though is the one that can control a humidifier and extra sensors etc
oh apparently the T9 can do the sensors
Is the humidifier usually tied into the furnace?
The water line to mine has been temporarily turned off same with the power... it's just sitting there doing nothing so I would like to get it up and running again just have no clue where to start
The humidifier itself is mounted to the furnace
is it attached to the side of the duct?
Yeah
the T10 is the only one that can control humidity and that sucker is over 200 bucks.. too sticker shock for me. however if you skip the humidity you can grab a T5 for under 100 bucks and can still use homekit with that
if it's attached to the duct, yea, it's controlled by the same honeywell box you posted pictures of
BUT you still need a thermostat which supports humidity to control it
Hmm
Doesn't it look like it's using it's own thermostat?
Scratch that... it might support it
thats an old unit. i have no idea. you would have to follow the wires coming off it. if none of them lead to that honeywell box then you might be able to use a seperate thing for humidity
Yeah it's got a humidity sensor at least
yea it's basic, you can only set a range
I think I see why they cut it off, it goes to the water filter which has bacteria in it, needs to be maintenanced
like a max of 50% i think and min of 35% or something
How do you know how much humidity you want?
yea that humidifier looks old. I would replace it or ditch it all together
humidity is preference. usually mine only runs during the winter, helps make the air feel warmer as well as not drying you out like a prune
Exactly why we installed it... I'm just too oblivious either way haha
Good to know, I definitely I wanna get it working again dry skin is an issue for many of us in the winter
well if you insit on trying to get that old thing back up and running, i would pull it off the duct, turn off the furnace and spray a helping dose of bleach all inside it
Wise Idea, can I simply turn off the heat via the thermostat?
there should be a physical switch next to the furnace like a light switch
if not, you can always flip the breaker
unless the system was installed diy then the furnace should be on it's own breaker and labeled
just be careful cause they just cut a rough hole in the duct which allows air to circulate into the humidifier. duct steel is sharp as hell lol
I'll keep that in mind hehe
there might be silcone or something around it too. not sure
make sure you disconnect the wires
those leads coming off those are small. easy to snap
you should look up it's model and see what all there is too it. mine has a filter that has to be replaced every year and that filter is what gets hosed by the water and the air circulates through that to humidify the air. yours might work the same way
that filter deteriorates. yours is probably gone lol
Your probably right, been sitting for 10 years haha
What's the point of this control panel?
I don't see a single wire coming out of it
Battery operated, wireless perhaps?
Not to mention is it normal for it to get it's water supply from a water filter?
I don't know. like i said your unit is ancient. looking up the model online should tell you how it all goes and works together
it dosen't really matter where the water it gets comes from
Interesting guess it was done for redundancy, I'll have to get the water softener going first, then the water filter system then finally the humidifier.
I'll do some research and see what I can dig up.
Since the T10 is quite pricey, Wouldn't I best to give that one idea a try?
Setup a diy tazmoto thermostat and ditch the honey well module?
not sure how that works with a humidifier
Do you know if the water in a softener needs to be cleaned?
Like is it cleaned by running a cycle or is there more to that task?
no idea. never had a softener and the ones I use to see eons ago all used salt
All water softners should use salt, least from what I've seen
some do, some dont, it depends
you probably just use some self grown moss, admit it
stuck between those battery cells, to save space
Interesting
Why is salt used in the first place?
To my knowledge the ressin is used retract the hardness in the water
I thought it had to do with salt in the water coming from misunderstood sharks, crying, and the salt making all things nicer, and softer?
Water softeners, what an American concept
Smh my head
We don't need salt in the water here, our fish have so much sex
British too
german too
not austrian
Gotlands water is bloody awful
the resin gets flushed with salt water first
when fresh water flows through it, magnesium and calcium will stick to the resin, until the resin is saturated
then the resin needs to be flushed with salt water again to repeat the cycle
so all the third world countries then @umbral cliff @finite atlas @last cedar
Yep, australia has good clean drinking water
like germany, yes
you can drink water from the tap nearly anywhere in germany, but some places have rather hard water, where a filter makes sense because you need so much more shampoo to shower or have calcium stains everywhere
That never happened to me and i had water with 25 dH. Dunno what you‘re doin in the shower, though 😆
letting my inner walrus out
We are at 2.5dH apparently
We are at 14-16
That saved him from clearing the snow, at least
So not crying sharks then? 😦
7.3 from our well, but then I have an iron and manganese filter after that, may make it slightly worse
We need to get a UV light though, and redo the sand in the bottom of the well
Exactly
99% packaging, 1% test
How many licks does it take to get to the center?
I wonder what the qr code goes to
Probably bill Gates microchip activation
it's not QR either way
I've never seen a positive one until now
been testing 1-2 times a week since last year
First one I've ever done
Gf did two of them that came back negative. I figured i would try one and I got this.
Or verification your shit is real
Idk, idc. I'm hot. I'm cold.
We've had COVID twice so far, both times we just had crusty noses
Had a customer have COVID in march 2020, he had fever for 5 weeks and has gotten some sense of taste and smell back now
I had an asthma attack last night and it was a bit rough for a bit
I'm never cold but was shivering all night in bed
I need to order a thermostat. Mine has a weird battery and is ded.
-13c here currently, and i still go outside in a t-shirt
helps to be a whale
I got one reading but battery is super ded so not sure about it.

I need a thermometer so rarely that they're like flashlights for me - usually dead when I need them
batteries dead, or worse, the batteries have decomposed and leaked, destroying the thing
Yeah, I haven't been sick since right as covid started. It was probably covid but Idk. We didn't have tests back then and they said only like one case was in the country at the time but we didn't know shit. I was super sick.
I also can't remember the last time I had a fever, even when I feel like crap
I was dripping in sweat so I was curious
Normally I don't really see the point in using them because I know I'm sick, lol.
Having kids we have just had an IR thermotomter for years
Works great, even if the kids click it 150 times a week
What else does a sick person need before I do my order. I have a thermometer and Gatorade in cart. Seems empty.
Atx, what do your kids like when sick.
Will you tuck me in?
Sorry, I am losing my mind.
When I had covid last year my partners test was negative, mine came back positive within 3 minutes lol
NOT pregnant:
Also what are these giant card like tests lol
These are the kinds we have in Australia
Yeah, mine was a faint line within minutes
Worst part of covid for us was the 7 days of isolation. Got stir crazy being stuck inside
Got to try out groceries being delivered. Which was surprisingly efficient
Yeah, we normally do the thing where they put it into your trunk.
My thermometer is already here and wasn't cheap because of instacart, lol
I didn't bother using/ getting a thermometer. I am so prone to fevers a cold can give me one 
I just want to see how big my number gets
Get a thermometer in Kelvin then 
do doormats make good blankets?
If you're a floor, then yes
Tbf, my kids are very little sick
Just like me, I've had 8 sick days in 15 years
atx dragging himself to work with a knife in his leg
BuT sOCiAlisT heAlTHcaRe MaKes PeOpLe AbUse iT
I can have 21 days per year of self diagnosed sick days
I don't think there's a stated limit here? Just a general fair use policy
I think we can have 25 day per year for sick kids
Was 60 last two years due to covid
the relief is probably the same for some lol
HR wasn't set up to apply those in half days, which annoyed some of my colleagues.
Because they just worked from home while caring for the child but wanted to apply a half day since they felt it's fair with the amount of distraction
I think the employer pays for those days either way? So unless you run out it makes 0 difference, outside some data tracking
It's state here
might be for the kids days? o.0 I never looked it up
hm... is my HA making pointed political commentary?
It's still limited to countries on this reality's Earth, which disappoints me
I'm a proud belter
I've used 0.3hrs sick leave this year, only because my project became so shit I wanted to finish work early for a day
hrs sick leave? o.0
Damn Australians
Dang, $14k left my equity account now, and it still hasn't arrived at my account, I guess the US wire transfers through Uganda
Or they send me a check like it is 1977
might have to wait a day for the ancient banking protocols
international banking is a mess
some banks still do stuff manually by like calling the other bank and shit, lol
Is your bank awake?
depends on which version of IBM mainframe they're using. 😛
I can transfer money at any given time between accounts yes, or to my wife's account in the same bank
I'm silly and meant 0.3 days

yea, bank internal stuff is always fast
And everything within EZB tends to be fast. But once you leave the tightly coupled spaces it gets sluggish, with some stuff literally being done on daily cycles
Yeah, i think the norm in Norway is three transfers between banks per day
In Aus we can transfer to any other domestic bank and it goes immediately. Free transfer unlimited per day
Weird question, but what is your favorite cross platform note taking app? I have moved to spark as my goto email app as it cross platform, but still using apple notes, that doesnt work well with windows
Pen and paper
A bit less cave man
It is cross platform
Keep, or something self-hosted
I actually have made a discord channel where I post and delete stuff
It is VERY jank but it seems to work ok at the moment
pen and paper isn't really cross platform
just a platform outside the ones commonly thought of
It works on all platforms at a train station
it's quite cross platform if you scan the paper every time you update it, and store it in the cloud
but does it work across platforms?
Depending on the size of the platform
Editing on the fly suffers a bit with that approach
and the size of your paper
if you squat flies with it that might ruin the notes
Yeah, and becauae I am a smelly raccoon I attract a lot of flies
the one note taking method where you don't want to squash bugs
I email myself notes
Or text. Or signal message
Google keep which works with Google assistant
and HA
Never heard of it
Oh really?

I need to go on a doormat heist now, in order to fund my trip to Norway to steal atxs doormat, goodnight everyone
Can you remove the snow off my car while you are at it @last cedar I have work tomorrow
Typical westerners, no working webasto
Absolutely, I will bring my flamethrower
only 107kwh used today
11.23 kWh here
but I've been baking 8 trays of gingerbread cookies
I need to find a method of reading off the remote heat water system. Its a dumb reader and outside. I have not looked at it, and hope at least it got a led pulse
I found out my server rack averages around 15kwh per day
which was 5 less than I imagined
so, my server rack is only 15% of my daily power usage currently
Do you really NEED a server rack?
yes
I have 9U of always on, plus 30ish of power as needed
He runs half the infrastructure for norway obviously
or like when my wifes best friend came to visit, and asked what companies I work for, I asked her to keep her eyes on the side of the road when driving through oslo
Yeah I understand that. I understood how expensive it it was when I ran 6x APC 6000 UPS, how much they dragged on idle
"this one?" she asked
and I replied "yes" to to all questions
Now I have one UPS, but I have not mounted it
UPS' in themselves don't drag much power, unless you have load on them
"you work for that raccoon roadkill?"
That would be Burger King I guess, and actually no, they do cloud hosting
Mine did. The huge roof reaching rack full with UPS was enough to run the house for hours. I tried it without loads, and it dragged almost a kw
that... makes no sense
if there is no load and no charge, there should be minimal power draw outside of monitoring
raccoons
Maybe they were faulty. I sold the whole bunch
You who got so many UPS, should the EPO port be bridged? I think I remember it was bridged when I bought it, but it think it fell off. As I said I never used it
Discord, i throw all my notes into it because i dont need the majority
Oberfail: Remember to buy hemorrhoid crème

wasn't discord just recently fined for some GDPR issues?
probably, but neither is my life so important that i care about it nor are the notes that important
too bad matrix is not a useable alternative as of now
https://cookie-script.com/blog/cnil-fines-discord-for-the-dpr-breaches
Doesn't look to be anything concerning data breaches, just legal mumbo jumbo
On 10 November 2022, the French data protection authority CNIL issued a fine of €800,000 against Discord Inc., for violations of the GDPR.
what is the most reliable dynamic dns provider? I need one for my VPN
self hosted
Yeah just use one of my domains I guess
I use easydns I think, since it's gratis and I don't have to worry about hosting a server facing the public internet
i let my openwrt router handle it
it calls another service, that reports back my ip, that i can then use to update my cloudflare thingies
so you use cloudflare
I don't want my domain on cloudflare. For no real reason though iirc.
so dont?
just use whatever you like, you'll likely be able to update your dns records via an api token aswell
namecheap is actually notoriously bad about that. They don't support it without something weird
which is why I have a very weird setup with most of the domain on theirs, and then just the VPN hostname on another
i'm paying 1,92€ a year for my .de domain and my hoster allows me to do some magic and do all the dns records via cloudflare
.de D:
i'm living there, so i'm fine with it

Are we looking at the same thing? Joplin is free. You need to find your own hosting for cloud sync but a Nextcloud instance at your house is more than enough
I agree
EPO on the cyberpower I ha e can be NC or NO.
I believe the APC ones are NO... would have to look it up, to be sure.
jesus, what a boner move. i filtered *.db from rclone when i was only using HA and nodered. took me hours to figure out why photoprism and my *arr apps weren't working after I restored from backup
thankfully i had the ssd still 😩
that's why you should test your backup plan
databases are a pain to back up because you really need to stop the service for them to be consistent
ohh, I need to upgrade photoprism. They released the new user stuff. Which should allow it to be reasonably multi-user
Iirc. The bitbucket way to do this was to sync consistent state to disk when set to backup mode, and still provide operations but fully cached in ram until reverted to normal operations
Which increases the potential data loss on crash, but allows consistent backup without stopping the service
I think HA does something like that - flushes & freezes access during a backup
soooo what happens when i don't stop DBs, backups are just potentially broken?
I had to go back to the original drive, stop services, and manually copy the databases over the last time I did a migration
depends on what's in there. all my *arr stuff didn't like the databases in the backup and didn't behave properly until I copied them over after shutting down the services
