fo sho. whatever works for you. I like competition.
I have an Xbox Original somewhere still running XBMC
Same, i replaced the hdd a few months ago 😄
Mine should be at my parents somewhere
it's probably fucked
I haven't replaced the caps
it has an xecuter panel on it, lol
not my picture but mine looks like that on the front
I'm travelling there next weekend hopefully, maybe. I'll try to find it
Noice, the transparent and screen and xecuter stuff 😂 i did some modding too until it broke. Got a stock one afterwards and kept it that way until now, just softmodded
soft modding is awesome
it just wasn't an option for the setup I wanted
it may have not even existed at the time
which game was it again everyone used?
splinter cell?
Halo?
for the exploit
ahh, mech assault seems very familiar
I owned splinter cell though
Were you into Halo modding back in the day?
not cheating but modding and such
custom maps
Hmm not really on the xbox but on the pc
But yes, I‘ve visited xbins 😅
I had a website very popular for xbox nerds because of our map pack
Killtrocity Map Pack 1 & 2, lol
I have the files still somewhere
They are mirrored for sure somewhere
yeah, it was the most popular one
Halo 2: Modded Map-Pack Repository
Down below will be download links to every UPDATED mappack. In other words, I myself have updated a good bit of these so if you have them already, it's strongly recommended you download these also.
You are not to link the links anywhere but to here, sharing...
I didn't do anything really with them. my buddy was super smart and made the networking work with all of them nicely
There are still some people on xlink kai and such
yeah, we were always super active on that and xbox connect
mostly xbox connect
if I can recover my xbox, we will have to jump around on maps my buddies made many moons ago, lol
I wonder if he still has his xbox
I looked into trying to load these on PC not too long ago
maybe there are some tools now
I had a website named Hacks-4-Snacks that hosted tons of halo stuff, lol
https://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/killtrocity-mappacks.2775/ the videos still work, lol
HALO 2 KILLTROCITY MAPPACK v2
We proudly present a compilation of maps that deserve being played into eternity and that were made with great dedication by their authors, therefore filling the true goal of modding: having fun making mods and let everyone have fun playing them!!!
This mappack...
Replace your hdd, its easy with a modchip 🙂 my caps did blow but the damage was minimal
You can even find the 1.5tb torrents pretty easy with all the games
I'll definitely have to clone an image of it before I get too crazy
I am really boring
I just want to play Killtrocity Map Pack
all I did was play Halo 1, Halo 2 on that thing
and maybe a bit of this and that
splinter cell was pretty good
https://ibotmodz.net/forum/topic/20707-killtrocity-v1-mappack/ here is a listing of it where I'm not removed from the credits, lol
Ryan9113, Idk why I am as a beta-er though, lol
anyone remember e107? lol
badass logo I made when I was a kid
/s
we had this thing called Mantis where you could download maps from an online repository
pretty neat
i dont and its fully free, so thats why i'm hyped
does jellyfin have the secure sharing to other jellyfin users like plex does?
You just create an account for them. Jellyfin is all local, your account is only for your instance
so no remote access for other users?
Just create an account for them
Tell your friends to use username blah and password blah
And connect to jellyfin.domain.com (Whatever your domain is)
wait, you have to have a seperate account?
I don't even think you had to do that with kodi. you sure?
Jellyfin uses a username/password to log in, people log in with the details you give them
Plex secure sharing works by them using another plex account doesn't it
no
when a user shares a share you give them an access number, they plug that in and it ties that into your main
you see your local and thier remote on the same page etc
you need whatever you setup plex with, yes
Weird
I don't even notice when it transcodes and never drop audio
Which player do you use?
atv4k
90-125MBps streams with pure 4k hdr content
plex doesn't skip a beat in either transcoding or direct play
jellyfin just shit the bed
I can forgive my camera AI for thinking this was a person (a well endowed for his size person).
I love when frigate tags cats as dog
I just go
you fat bastard

Then I remember I'm a fat bastard

wow these old 6TB drives I have are just not liking zfs at all
getting 10-15MBps doing zfs sync
meanwhile doing the same stream to some SSDs I get 550MBps (the max read of the source)
Hahahaha
🤷 well, I mostly use the mpv-shim or we player
Android tablet also works well for me
But if Plex isn't a crashy bastard for you, it might be a valid choice
I spent more time watching it crash than running it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Can't remember plex ever crashing 🤔
I know a lot of users had issues running it on windows
Or are you talking about some frontend app?
Obviously the players run on consumer trash
well yes
I have used atv and roku for the last 8 years
never had issues
had a pi running some plex player before that, but that was hit and miss
Careful with cache on synology. It is higher risk than benefit as it eat up the drive and you loose all your data. I noticed it with 1% lifespan and saved 40TB of data.
synology is working fine. Not really had any issues with my synology except the nvme issues
thanks for the warning. mine has been running for 3+ years now and we are all normal.
Have you checked the state of the drive? It say in the control panel the lifespan of it
Won't it notify you if the lifespan is running out?
yeah, I'll get emails
Like before it's 1%
as soon as it shows degraded
Looks like the threshold for spare blocks is 10%
https://share.busheezy.dev/i/baTp8W I like how you can tell which ones are the lower thresholds based on whether or not it wants to text you by default
RobC, here it notified at 1% - a bit late in my opinion
I can't tell where the criteria are for each of those rules
same
I was looking at this:
it's a SMART attribute, and I would expect it to notify when it drops below that threshold
My cache hit rate is usually >90% if not 100%, so it's doing its job
apparently I need to recreate my cache
it's old
Aleks, just curious. What type of drive, size, and did you have two of them?
and is there a minecraft server on the NAS?
I like where this is heading.
Yep, would you look at that.
those look neat. I was linking your picture to someone yesterday
@clear ferry you can trim and scrub now in opnsense 23.1, no need to lose any more sleep (using zfs that is)
Now I can add DND for guests. So they can sleep in late 😆
dungeons n dragons
Need to find a better clock card. Loads of learning, first time messing with Lovelace
I need all the trim I can get
Understatement of 2023
Seems like everyone is happy and no unstability yet, so that looks good
Aleks could have shitty drive firmware that just doesn't update before it is too late, seen that before
@forest edge your pp issues might even be fixed 🤣
Atx, I dont use the cache anymore, its useless and just a waste of NVME. In the next update they might allow to use NVME as a regular storage drive, then I rather use it as manual cache for database, plex, mqtt and so on
.
been thinking about my pp issues have you?
paypal strikes again
I regularly think about your pp
Not that sort of pp
Yeah, I ran a custom NAS before with zfs, no issues with that.
not seeing a link to the guide...
We were rather amused when they installed office phones with the Dungeons and Dragons button
Fog machine + wizard outfit + automation
Y'all have office phones?
Still figuring out best way to do this. 😆
forget the lube?
Anyone got any experience with programming C# with Angular and Javascript (C# backend) in Visual Studio (not code) vs Jetbrains Rider? The app is dependent on IIS, building etc
If at first you don't succeed then push harder
What Matter-over-Thread devices are currently available, if any?
yes
Oh ok thanks
It really doesn't matter
I am over here trying to make a funny with thread……🤷🏼🍆😳
I spent like 20+ minutes trying to find a list of anything planned or already out and gave up, lol.

@last cedar Holy shit 23.1 didn't nuke everything
i take that back
it did nuke something lol
Frigate website down?

I think I've mentioned it before, but we used to have a state in a bug tracker at work that was "WorksForMe"
@clear ferry I have decided on yet another cooling option without ever actually committing to one.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4945681 This one actually feels right for me.
now I just have to get the other printer going with PETG 🙂
also, I discovered I can tune resonance with an accelerometer
your shit would have to be seriously out of whack for that to be worthwhile doing
no
what do you mean no? lol
the very definition of shaping describes that
you would get better prints by simply fixing whatever poor state you assembled your machine in lol
something with haproxy. not had the chance to look at it yet
I broke it and fixed it, whilst releaving you of your doormats
nope it appears to resolve itself. maybe it was a cache issue or something dunno
I was wondering if the issue was a racoon got stuck in the case fan
Can neither confirm or deny
what are you doing here already?
I woke up 😡
go back to sleep then

Never seen this one before
gotta admit tho. the em7355 card i slapped in there a year ago has been pretty solid. never lost net to fully test the failover but still the card never lost connection or anything

welcome to #the-water-cooler
completely off-topic - parallels on mac, ubuntu VM running HA, NR, and about 10 other containers.
installed patches on ubuntu, then rebooted.
ubuntu no longer finds my network. firefox in ubuntu sees all containers running, isolated; does not see internet
Help me obi-wan, you're my only hope
You really didn't waste time using that CCNA.
Good thing my CLA comes to shine
its showing ip v6 addresses
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
no routes shown
yeah, i gather, before patching, network was host mode with ip 192.168.12.135
now, I can't connect to it.
Is that the same IP subnet you have for the rest of the house?
yes....
Never seen that range irl, hence curious
Then, probably the network stack in parallels is broken 
If the interface in the VM is up
yeah, usually it just frickin' works... sometimes it requires sacrificing a chicken
Wat is this fåræign tøng yu spiik
@dusky plank might know the abomination that is paralleles
WHAT
WHAT IS THE MATTER
Network nonsense
mstone, hi.

the trouble all started when Jazz joined
ubuntu patches?
E: Invalid operation uninstall
that's very useful
Pæreælælæl universes confirmed
Are you a David Tennant Whovian, atx? shitz about to get real later on with more Tennant specials
We all would
ok, ubuntu network is unable to download patches
i'm trying. no luck
Spin up another VM, if that one works the issue is very much in your Ubuntu system
If that too has issues it is pærælælæs
hmm. good troubleshooting plan
One might think I do this for a living
chat on discord?
Is Parallels available for the M1/M2 macs?
Not that the current ordeal sounds particularly appetising
yes, and fast as h3ll...
intriguing
I do get paid for it though
I saw those rabbits you like somehow today
In your dreams?
I was wondering myself

some asshole made my office messy
Free Parallels trial online you say? Tell me more!
I should try asahi
Funnily enough I was mesmerised by the existence of asahi to buy my current mac, for whatever misguided reason
It was one of those Fuge states where anything seems like a good reason to set fire to cash
Yuck, møkkbuk
SKAL
if you want to develop on linux just use parallels, its really good
I used parallels for the trial while I tinkered with kali and it worked perfectly on my m1, pretty neat
usb devices and errything played nicely
@clear ferry this is why your electric bill is insane, that is your house!
only loss is my dashboard, which had links to everything on my network
Time to see if Parallels is up to the real task; Running Windows 98 SE, so I can get my Civilization 2 fix
If so:
and had to reflash esphome devs with new mqtt server address
I tried to run an old game from the Myst series on my Intel Mac and realized that it only worked on PowerPC and Rosetta had been dropped by then. But I was able to run it in a Windows VM in Parallels 🙂
Sounds very promising!
Windows 98 was a bridge too far
hey any watches out there that do gestures?
like have different gestures trigger differnt shit in HA
apple watch you can asign complications to your (watch) face
ah no, was thinking more like hand movements
Just do mmwave and walk in specific patterns
like waving your hand in a certain way would yield an event, another way would be a different one etc
mmwave on the street?
I would like to see that
was thinking in the context of audio cues
it would be a weird thing but would have great effect
imagine seeing a guy make a sudden gesture and the attention cue from metal gear solid playing
just an example
Anything is possible with a hidden button and smoke and mirrors
Because if all you want to achieve is the wow factor, getting the complexity of what you are imagining makes it 40% likely to work
yeah but the gesture is half the effect
You can still do the gesture
Kymera Magic Wand Universal Remote Control - 13 Easy-to-Learn Gesture Based Commands - The Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control gives you the opportunity to perform magic in your own home! Imagine walking into the room with your children and their Muggle friends watching TV, whipping out a magic wand...
im not going for the wow factor, not trying to impress, am going for the actual effect the gesture+sound would yield
imagine seeing a guy make a sudden gesture and the attention cue from metal gear solid playing

like, a soft gesture would be for a soft audio cue
I guess that could work but that would leave out one hand
yes but this was just the example that came to mind, why aren't you extrapolating?
Because I'm a realist probably
haha thats awesome! but is IR
need it rf
so we add an rf sensor
sounds like reinventing the theremin
I guess you could retrofit some used aerodrums
They are accurate enough for a lot of interesting stuff
checking
this is good stuff man, cheers
dunno how I'd carry that camera with me though
carefully
lol
this has other uses though
I used to have this in shows back in the day
like have a phone strapped to my wrist
and the accelerometer and gyro values translated to different midi notes and CCs
and combined with the hand movements made it seem like fkin magic
Arduino with accelerometer + Mqtt + ha
hmm Ill get on it
just realised it could work in the exact same way, only have HA run it instead of my daw
like have the puredata translated to midi then mqtt
Any chart-junkies like me around? These are all interactive
This is in beta now, but fairly stable already.
Here's the release discussion: https://github.com/dbuezas/lovelace-plotly-graph-card/discussions/204
anyone know how to connect a tuya device to college wifi?
... why ?
so i can use it when im not there
i cant use it rn since in the tuya app you can only submit a password
but i need to sign in to the wifi
Then like most consumer devices WPA2-Enterprise is not supported

Scratching my head without the AVR, entire media system down. This sucks. ☹️
Cooking without music is impossible 😩
phone?
Haven't tried that lol.
what are you making

sea meat
Ready to hit the grill.
Slow roasting some tri-tip for doggos actually 😆
@static schooner those bean links again please. Spaced out on book marking them.

i prefer buds
Wut?
Anyone familiar with 2023 Mazda cars and their navigation sd card bullshit?
kind that grow
The Ethiopian Sidama smells just like strawberry jam when ground
Ah, bud
I think AM grinding is the best part of the day.
Have you tried the Nigerian Ligma?
allergic to cofee sad
Not that I can recall
And yet somehow you manage to wake up and be a functioning human being. I mean, I guess it's theoretically possible
yeah
Sorry Rob, couldn't help myself
caffeine puts me to sleep too
Sounds like a wiring issue
yeah; i have at leat a few of those
Same here. No coffee. No sleep.
quad just means more fun drugs...
8 to 9 cups a day, they say it's too much. I don't know
Unless I have a lot of it in a short period of time, caffeine doesn't affect me
Apart from not having it for a day and then having withdrawal symptoms lol
thats normal
Home Depot here had 1
What? Sleep or coffee?
Yes
Those smart clock 2 with dock
Lowe's shows to have had them but don't and home Depot doesn't show to have them but do
I might get 4 more.
Was buying light bulbs and saw the solo box sitting there with like 3 inches of dust lol
Something like this for now.
Uh on that little screen?
You gonna attach one of those flat magnify glass things old people use to read books to the screen?
That's split view. One at a time and Scroll down. It's pretty nice. They have access to laundry status, front/arage cameras and what's playing throughout the house.
Scroll or side swipe?
url?
Scroll
Are you just using a kiosk app to show that?
FKB
Ah
Plus it's not an eyesore
I dunno the dock kind of is lol
There's a night lamp led in the base. But no go with FKB to access that.
My gen 1 has that. Works using hey google
The buttons on the top have shortcut for turning on the light. Have your tried that yet?
No access to slide down options. Only slide up. I have made FKB the home app.
Isn't there physical buttons on the top?
All remapped
That sucks
There's plenty of night lights in the room they can invoke
I am going to make scripts for lights out etc.
Now I have to think of each room as a unit. So loads of thinking yo do on flights. Lol
pir sensor under bed; if i get up in night it turns lights on
Make work like the clapper lol
Come to think of it you can actually call media via HA to the clock. Endless possibilities. Now I have things to play with.
I thought I am done automating the house, well on to automating rooms. 🤣
If it don't work by clapping your hands then you are dead to me
Wowza that's a tall ask.
dosen't the mic work?
I'm actually surprised that you can't use a double clap as an Alexa wake word
I now have esp32 in every intercom running mmwave so double clap is not that far out. Lol
just looked it up. it's nuts there isn't some bsic way. you have to use a vibration sensor to simulate the old clapper lol
BUT my whole goal is not to interact. Even this is for guests so I don't have to interact. LMAO
What good are guests if you need to see or speak with them or do anything for them? 🙂
Exactly. Plus they don't leave in my case.
I usually get a text saying, we decided to stay an extra week. 🙃
Glad I am not home most of the time.
Not a bad idea at all.
i wouldn't want to leave if to comfy so
Ideal way would be assigning them login when they sign in to guest wifi portal, pick room and forward automatically to HA app. That's a little out there for now.
If that worked, no need for all this clocks and crap
if this were 80's california i would call you a fool cause you know in those days guests who don't leave are usually smokin lol
Well most of mine chew gummies. Lol.
lol
gummies to much suger
I am into Isle and peated but digging this.

@last cedar crow killer! https://youtu.be/4gomOxKRTfs
This man has a long history of providing food for crows. After that, they decided to repay him with a pleasant surprise one day. Crows are widely considered to be among the most intelligent of all bird species. Corvids, more often known as crows, can recognize themselves in mirrors, use tools, and make long-term plans. All of these abilities are...
You should try crow sometime
Or as I like to call it
|| forbidden chicken ||
i mean, when the racoon gets eaten so does the crow.. right?
The circle of life
Luckily I am so fat that I won't even fit in a killer whales mouth
yea the killer whale thought that about atx too and we know how that went
LOL
Only 11% food price increase in Norway last year
Compared to 17.8% average in the EU zone last year
@clear ferry you only eat raw food anyway, so I guess you had even less increase
Roadkill is free
As long as it is not raccoon, all good
They say you are what you eat... so I wouldn't eat myself
I'd say, never do tech again
quantum computing?
optical
anyone with experience with pihole in docker?
It's not great
Unless you do macvlan
You are better off with a VM or another solution
I prefer to do DNS stuff in my router
i cant get FTLDNS to run, it keeps saying the port is in use?
Yes
Because the host is probably listening to 53
Which is expected
Hence macvlan
Or vm
I set it all up with macvlan, hated it, redid it with a dedicated pi
got it working
Scored 2 in Carlsbad, was there for done plumbing parts
Looks like plug in and don't have that base, but $14.99
Right on! Even better. 😀
Had to go through a couple of people who were shocked that they were 81% off
They rang up at $79
Luckily I had the Lowes app on my phone
That's what I did
Site said they only had one, so happy to get two
You will like them. Worth the money.
Now to figure out how you did what you did. Built-in browser + fully kiosk?
Fully kiosk. Driving now. Will be here in 20 if you need help
Me too. Gardenes mowed a spot light. Gotta rewire.
I thought it was only the Lenovo smart clock 2 (the one with the dock) that could be hacked? Adding one to my home is on the list.
home depot will price match and they were shocked at the price sale as well lol
This guy is super good with palm trees so going to shut and heatshrink my way out of this. 🤣
That would be unfortunate
Well, I just found a 2 that didn’t have a dock. I guess I shouldn’t say, I. It is my wife who is the shopper 😜. She found it for 10.00. Trying to verify now.
they sell the same thing both bundled with the dock and seperate
infact the dock version has the screen is in a seperate box
Not a '2', it seems
I have the first
I do not know if you can only do it on the 2 for sure. I do know that all the how to web pages talk about the 2
i didn't know the nightlight was part of the dock tho
Several on there for under 10.00
Yes part or the dock. If no dock the screen turns on with a hue
that xiaomi smart clock almost seems like a better fit imo
granted 14 bucks is 14 bucks, but talking about reg price vs reg price
What I got clearly has a screen
This is more than enough as a mini UI, at least for me. Dock was a bonus. The only issue I came across is the button remapper not sticking. Don't care as long as FKB is the home app.
No access to buttons even better.
interesting. i thought the undocked one was the same as the on that comes with the dock but just no dock. but apparently not
yours don't look like it could go onto a seperate dock
Damnit no sales here lol
yet the ZAr4003US can be used both on and off the dock
Wanted to try out given it looks good
Night light
yea
it made sense if the screen could be sold seperatly. but with rob linked. it's a poor design choice imo
why is the nightlight part of the dock lol
oh wait i see what they did
they made the unit that dosen't come with the dock, the alexa version
thats why rob's is a diffrent design all together
Yes one is Alexa the other google
yea it's dumb. all 3 should have been the same main unit shape and the dock should have been compatible but optionally sold separately for all 3
Lol, now the website says that it's unavailable :). Got the last ones
lowes?
Yes
ah
My location, probably
if you need another, just show the lowes page to them at home depot and get the version with the dock for 19.99 lol
people are still actively on creating an entire os for it
@tidal bronzeyou'll have to let us know how stable it remains after like 2 weeks or something
according to the specs it only has 1 gig of ram
Will do. 2 in production. 4 testing.
Home Depot here has them for 102.00 🤣🤣.
With a limit of one per order
Talk about driving supply and demand
Not available for ship to store and none in the store
yea thats the one they will knock down to 19.99
the one i picked up the other day had 3 inches of dust on it lol
ugh wyze is going all gross
How so
they are futher removing some of the features and putting those in the pay model as well as making a person who dosen't use those service have to do additional steps just to view recordings on an sdcard
not to mention all those people who actually opts for the cam plus lite during the pandemic cannot use that service for thier new cameras out this year
pretty sure the wyze bridge will not work with the new cameras
Sounds like shitty camera companies
sounds like every company after they start becoming popular anymore
True
at least they don't appear to be fucking over older camera users.. yet
I have never paid for my Wyze cameras. And if they start f’ing with me I will just flash 3rd party firmware on them.
till the newer ones have been out. won't know if the newer ones will be flashable
the OG ones look like trash compared to the V3 tho
so if you think you may need some more, better buy the V3 while you still can lol
funny watching the comparision videos and the V3 shitting all over the newer OG variant
how do you get the price down on a online order?
don't think you can
lame
@tidal bronze you people are never happy are you? "OMG drought! We have no water! Cannot water our lawn!" to "OMG we're drowning, why do we have too much water!?" I swear.. such babies lol
California’s recent floods led to more deaths than the last two wildfire seasons combined, and they’re only a preview of the state’s extreme weather future.

The word is picky
It needs an A->A USB cable? What kind of nonsense is that?
I might have one of those spec-busting monstrosities
was just reading this: https://github.com/untocodes/lenovo-cube-hacking/blob/main/notes/Flashing.md
I guess I need to do more research
I haven't even plugged the thing in yet
The XDA thread starts with "get a USB A->A cable..."
USB C -> A adaptor x2 lol
You can load anything via browser hack.
where did you see a browser hack?
An old crappy pre-paid phone that I bought to hack my Audi 🙂
This seemed to be the place, but I didn't see anything about a browser hack: https://github.com/untocodes/lenovo-cube-hacking/

Load all the apps in one shot unlike the video. Or you will be going back and forth with screen reader.
Map last launcher to, long press from get go. Not home.
I think I actually got it into Fastboot
Comes up as "Android" on my Mac following those instructions
ok, will play with it
Let me know if you get to run GA in parallel. I like the cast media player to be on there.
LMAO what a weird way to hack a car
@static schooner so you into long codes then 😀
Use that too.
I also have VCDS
Yep VCDS is the way to go
I paid $10 for a prepaid Android phone at Walmart for OBDEleven
OBD11 is slick too
I just have the BMW coding suite that people have hacked into working
Have an old windows 7 laptop to use it
Rob, my apple friend…..huh
Since he shared some beans I am gonna let him be.
Yea…I just busting balls. Sure I am going to lean on his experience with the Lenovo smart clock.
My wife’s ears perked when I brought it up so it is happening. Just gotta figure it out for a reasonable cost
It's actually good. Specially how snappy it is with RTC full screen streams.
few things I don't like about the browser hack method
crazy you can buy a androiud phone for $10
heck yeah, OMW:

Post in thread 'Guide installing android apps on the lenovo smart clock 2.' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-installing-android-apps-on-the-lenovo-smart-clock-2.4393271/post-86356275 can make it work with Alexa as well. 😆
need a custom variant of the HA companion
Why?
Use a nav button.
although I guess that would be more of an HA launcher
Create more views so that you don't have to scroll down to see everything on a view then use this: https://github.com/zanna-37/hass-swipe-navigation
I'm dreading upgrading my HA instance. Haven't touched it in a very long time 🙂
need @tidal bronze to install that and show us a video preview. that is neat
If you update it as the updates come it's a lot easier to do
Now you'll have to go through every release since your one and see what breaking changes are there
Yah, well aware, just lazy. Have also been debating tearing the whole thing down and re-configuring. Noticed that nest thermostat integration seems sane now with google so I may transition account and do it all at once.
You should know by now, me no like any UI, and you want me to work on swipes. Lmao. If things don't work in the background automagically then might as well use a RF remote. Few buttons to keep the guests happy. That's all I want. I need to get back to perfecting my recirc project. 😃
If you wanted to keep the guest happy you would just install a stripper pole and the clapper
I take it back, to maintain my peace of mind. So there. 😆
I just pictured using the lenovo as a video guide showing what and how to operate a light switch then it goes back to just showing the time lol
If 1 person asks a question, end of lenovo run for me. Lol
so 5 units go into the trash when someone points to one and asks, "whats that?"
I dunno why the hell you don't have a human butler by now lol
Year of voice. Alexa, stay tuned, war is coming. 😏
is there a good offline voice assistant? I tried Mycroft before but wasn't exactly happy with it
yo, @clear ferry which voice assistant do you use?
rhasspy is good but takes a looot of work to get started
the dev is in the core team now anyways so I expect some easier integration until christmas 🎄
in the meantime i use siri, dumb AF but works
looking at the docks, it probably has a similar issue to Mycroft
And is very limited in how it processes language. More of a STT with a somewhat fuzzy matching engine behind it.
So it's not really suited to follow different sentence structures that are semantically equivalent
lots of options but can probably do what you want with enough care
stupid question. so how do you guys do that code paste into disc so the code goes into a box
you mean in discord? It's a markdown command
Potentially multi line```
\`\`\`like this?
potentially multi line\`\`\`
for inline, you can use single backtick `single backtick` for multiline it's the three backticks
Awesome
Big ppp
Are there any issues with 23.1 on opnsense with unbound. Wondering if I should risk a update tomorrow 
@umbral cliff apparently not, but test yours first 🤣
I am guessing the lack of a 23.1.1 is a good sign
What's testing. We do everything in prod right
😂
some companies have testing and prod, others only have testing 🙂
First time developer here: Where can I promote a new frontend card I've created?
I suppose https://community.home-assistant.io/ might have some spaces that are suitable
yea it appears to be working fine.. so far. Not actually used it but it's using data periodically to keep the connection alive so I think that means it's working lol
@forest edge fingers crossed I guess!
Unless you start liking coyotes again
Licking coyotes
everyone likes coyotes. just the way of life.
Outage detector with an arduino
ignore the music please, my brain has turned into mashed potatoes
would be annoying to hear that sound during an outage lol
Is that the version with Sarah Brightman?
That's the reason i integrated a dashboard which allows me to toggle the sound alarm
Yk that thing beeps even if you restart the pi just quickly
💀
No clue, Spotify just playing something
Fair enough!
https://open.spotify.com/track/6O3PTtK6QphGaNujxaZavx?si=NvfF8QK2TPqw2co4MyOkSA&utm_source=copy-link
Is what I was thinking of
I really quite like that song tbh
(It is the same song!) Different languages only afaik
mine sound even more classic lmfao
Just want to thank y'all for my smart home.
Maybe add a short timeout to be the length of a standard restart
Could ping in that time, but make it go "if no response in 3 pings then alarm"
15 seconds before a warning is still short
My buddies remixed this song after one of them got a bit intoxicated, years ago
Sarah Brightman ft Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye (Blarsa Remix)
Not too long ago we were on skype and Lars started to drunkenly sing con te partiro or time to say goodbye and that's where the idea was born. Though this has been done plenty of times we still wanted to give it a go. Warping the vocals was a bit of a bitch but Lars is a w...

In this adorable video, watch as two young raccoon siblings demonstrate their expert grape-fishing skills. Using their nimble fingers and clever tactics, these critters successfully steal a tasty snack from an unsuspecting birdbath. With their natural instincts and playful spirit, these raccoons will bring a smile to your face as they indulge in...
Nice.
Me and a friend made a handy guide for you all, just in case you were wondering
Damn that is AWESOME
@last cedar my wife's crazy over pandas just like you over racs
Recently asked me if we can raise one. I reserved my comments.
pandas are dumb as fuck
Tell me about it.
Adopt me and then play the trash panda card
You have grapes and doormats right?
Yep
As soon as things clear up in China she wants to head back to Chengdu SMH
I need to google that, but I havw to sleep now
Chengdu is where all the Pandas are at. Pretty cool place if you like Pandas
@tidal bronzeok so the LSM2 nightlight is not the same as the gen 1. it's operates off the night mode setting
took me a bit to figure that one out without looking it up
the gen1 you can simple control seperatly such as turn on night light but the gen 2 cannot be operated that way
Never looked into night light, don't need it. Finalized dashboard on 4 and in production/test phase. Will revisit in a month.
I wasn't able to try the screenreader hack with my unit because apparently they've removed that option from the iOS Google Home app (somebody used an older version of the app on a jailbroken phone) and my crappy Android phone kept restarting the app when I tried to change settings. I was planning to move forward with re-flashing it, but spflash doesn't see it for some reason (even though it's enumerated properly and fastboot sees it). I'm going to try another cable
This is exactly the experience that I recall having messing with my old Samsung S3 that I got from work to try Android, and then returned it a year later.
screenreader for copy and pasting? or you meant to reach the browser?
the first is required for the second, as I understood it
I read on a reddit page where you can get to the brower by asking google to convert 1 euro to dollar (or something like that)
ok, I was going from a Youtube video
not tried, but that sounded like a quick and nifty fast way to open the browser
hmm, maybe I'll try that. It currently doesn't boot, but I'm pretty sure that's because I've disabled all the security on it. I can put it back if needed
I thought it was weird the direction you were going. from everything I read noone has gotten to anything special through that route, at best it was still the same path to how quad does it
I believe that you can just flash the stock Google image
although it was promising that people are still activly trying to hack it fully
I didn't read that
where did you read that?
the one I have is the first version, and I think most folks have moved on to the second version
I didn't think there was a diffrence
you got the one that has no screen, the one with screen and the one with screen with removable dock
the one's with screen were the same regardless which flavor. hardware wise
I got the ones with a screen that you can swipe back and forth
I was trying to follow this, but it's possible I don't know what I'm talking about: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lenovo-smart-clock-bootloader-avb-unlock-firmware-region-changer-kernel-source.4130295/
I already set one up to go through the screenreader hack, so I may have burned a bridge already on that one. Another is new-in-box, though
I was hoping to get stock Android Things
you should still be able to factory reset I would think
it says that once you set it up, the "factory image" is gone
I did the AVB unlock step and it succeeded, but there's a lot of unwritten black magic going on
that refers to it as being the smart clock, not smart clock 2
wasn't your model number the ZAr4002US? or whatever?
that forum post dosen't read right. you also gotta be careful cause mucho devices are diffrent between US variants and like EU ones
no, that's the model number
you can see it under the serial number on the top left
yea that is smart clock 2
and yet...
like i said yesterday replace that 2 with 3 and you got the dock version like mine and quads
I don't think that post is refering to your variant
right under that topic is the one explaining how to side load apps on the SC2
I've seen the box with the big '2' on it
yea yours is diffrent

Yep, doesn't look like that
That's what I was talking about earlier. It uses the screen reader
And I couldn't turn that on with the devices I have
You skipped to the part after he did the screen reader thing
I think it's the 'with the Google Assistant' part that differentiates it from the regular clock
It's almost sold out at $79, so better get on it
The dumb one is the 'smart clock essential' now
maybe that post was for yours then
it's hard to tell because it's old and just stops
like every single hack ever
I'm bored, on to the next conquest...
the pictures in the second post sure look like my unit, and not like the LED one

@static schooner how did the flashing go?
Like that huh
he's either gonna end up super boned or better than both of us
@tidal bronzeyou can still "hey google" right? and do you have an alarm clock ability? how does it work if you do
Yep, works beautifully for alarms and all the GA stuff. Better yet, without redrawing anything over FKB. Media puts FKB to background but returns after. I am not that interested in playing music on this probably some alert one day. All rooms have their own AV driver already
how does it work for alarms? does it still use the core part to set the alarm then play the chime it normally would in factory mode?
i take it there is no indicator showing an alamr is set
Nope. Just a good ol GA alarm.
i think the GA alarm is the core alarm.. though not 100%
Yes it is.
I doubt the alarm will ever be used. Defeats the purpose of Vaca mode. 🤣
yea but I want it lol
I guess my use case is kinda not the norm.
I would like to view camera feeds on request and the stock mode can't/won't do that
but I don't want to lose any of the GA functionality
You mean voice request camera ?
I assume you just built a clock view in HA and assigned that view to a custom login set for just that device right?
yea, but I know your method dosen't use voice, you just click on a card in ha dashboard and open it
If you wanted to do that pretty simple with FKB load url.
Custom intent in GA mapped to HA script.
dunno why those bastards didn't support rtsp feeds. literally the only thing missing from the device from stock for my needs
Yep does not populate as a display device. Only a cast audio device
Lol.
About to take off, time to get some shut eye. Pretty sure you will figure out a way to customize the clock, the way you want
Raining cats and dogs again. Love it.
yea. go get your beauty sleep hugging your scaled sized airplane pillow
It's actually regular size. Wow too much 🍷 in 20 minutes 😳
@clear ferry new DT merch
not enough petrucci
the god of guitar
when I flick this switch, people die
also, LOL this is a new one
John is my hero though @clear ferry
I actually ordered a new bass yesterday
That right hand action like omg
3\4 scale purple bass
L O L
Mine just sits in its case
