That's growing up, i started out with 3, all gone before I was 25
yeah; doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though
It doesn't, I've lost so many people over the years I've been desensitized
one from falling and hitting her head; the other due to the virus... becoming really complicated
😦
My hometown is also famous for suicides, because who would have thought 2 months of perpetual darkness and 2 months of 24h sunlight would be a great mix with tall bridges
and a lack of indoor gardens
dang; thats bad
give em some magic mushrooms and cannabis lets see if it helps?
That's way too high for atx
you forget the mm wave activated light string; so it only lights up where you are/ about to fall
here, your daily compose fix

I have loads of capacity
and 13 of those cores in use is because I'm doing 700MBps zfs syncs

@mellow parcelsorry to hear about your grandfather
ty at least his suffering is over
No car keys even?
Not really. Very rarely
Surprised you don't have to drive in the USA
Drive less than 1000 miles/yr 😆
Given airport parking costs I can agree with that strategy
It's so dumb that our medical shit is spread out over vast different company portals
how did no one stop and think, maybe we should make a central medical database for every company to tie into and that way patients can find ALL of thier medical stuff under one account lol
You want your health info in one easy place for a hacker to get?
We have that here and I opted out lol
And yet they get hacked. Because medical info is worth a lot
not concerned about that
if someone wanted your medical shit they could already get it, it would just take them little longer
almost done migrating my 26TB of linux isos 😄
have you ever considered converting them into AV1 linux isos?
anybody tried bitwarden unified yet?
is it just a different container structure? o.0
I'm not sure what it offers
Isn't it all as one container instead of like 5
Been meaning to try it out at some point, just lazy
yea, that's my understanding. Single container and maybe some more lightweight choices for some configuration/moveable parts
Maybe I should move my bitwarden to self-hosted 🤔
Assuming the security of the vault is mostly good, I'm ok with the free service from bitwarden hosted
only thing I may be interested in is a service that allows to auto-rotate passwords for most sites
Like what?
creating organizations and something else I cant remember
Ahh, the good enterprise features 🙂

I always fuck up that character
"kamoshirenai" is a pharse for "might be"

Stylized kanji are a pain though
Kana is the umbrella term for katakana and hiragana btw. No need for the asterix^^

Anyone have any good light pun names? I’m naming my new lamps and I’m struggling to come up with the last one.
Johnny Trash
Phil Lament
Sir Lampsalot
That’s what I’ve got so far 😂
Robin of Lux ley

last one looks more like an enforcer than knight
I like that haha
I also have:
Hertz Reynolds
Ohm-of-Arc
Viva la resistance
My original attempt was Darth Shader but I couldn’t find a Star Wars pun that didn’t require an explanation.
I was thinking the bottom one looked like a big daddy from bioshock but I couldn't think of a pun to work with that either
Think Halo
Pretty sure the first one had Bruisers that carried clubs
it's what that lamp reminds me of
That one’s hard because the reference needs to be so specific. Some sort of sword or club pop culture reference that everyone will get.
dunno, nothing that uses some terminology of sounds tough enough
like Lightman instead of Doorman(bouncer)
was a british boxer that did bouncer as side jobs with the of Lenny Mclean or something, and Lenny McLight dosen't sounds tough either lol

Aurora Tablelightis @thin folio
Hey folks! Just wanted to say hi! My name is Andy, I’m a British chap living in Amsterdam. I’m just wrapping up a huge renno project on our new house which includes a complete eco-overhaul (Heatpump, solar, underfloor heating, triple glazed glass etc). Once we’re and done with basic decorating we’ll get moving with smart home stuff (we have the whole house networked and are already using Hue bulbs extensively around the house).
I’m already playing with home assistant and slimlezzer in our temporary rental but haven’t dug into automations much yet.
I’ll mostly be lurking for now but you can bet I’ll have a thousand questions once we’re in the new house later this year!
@clear ferry I will try to clean up and delete some old crap first :p I found that having 30TB of old tv shows I never will watch again is not a point
I will admit I am not a network expert, but my point was to setup one main lan input 192.x, and keep the cluster machines on the vlan 5. Since ubuntu changed how the network is setup, is it a better way to set routes, than needing to put table: 76 (76 is from the documentation), or is putting table the correct thing to do?
Why would you need that on anything but the default table? o.0
ubuntu wont let me if I apply without the table on the vlan
🤦 netplan is weird
It is, and absolutely nothing is properly documented. Im getting so tired of google. 98% is affiliate articles in absolutely every topic
Netplan is an abomination
hate it with a passion
Now use debian
cloudinit doesn't exactly make it better
I should really swap over my k8s hosts to debian
Yes
its not impossible I will switch to debian
Do it
I tried the rasberry pi os, but that doesnt support 64 bit in userspace
and a lot of missing packages
it should
if you pick the right one
I did have some enormous pain with 64bit raspi at work though
yeah, it does have some growing pains I think. It seems like most who setup clusters og k8s on pi drop raspberry pi OS and go for ubuntu though, thats why I tried it.
I was recommended to setup GlusterFS for a docker swarm. Any of you tried out that file system? It seems like its a distributed file system between the nodes
sell your pi and get a proper computer instead
I got a lot of pis, and a bit of the point is to learn. If not why would I setup a "prosumer" setup at home? Its like @clear ferry overkill rig, dont need it :p
Neither docker swarm nor k8s is prosumer
No, I was thinking about unifi. Dont want to call it even close to pro at this point, so give it a prosumer
Who said to get a full 19" rack filled from top to bottom?
A old tiny mini micro pc with a i5-3xxx, 8gb ddr3 and some ssd would do the job just fine and not consume much more power as a pi
Its leagues faster, more versatile and much much cheaper.
48HU or bust
I actually need it, because I work with it on a daily basis 🤔
Guess I am ready to go down this rabbit hole
was ist das?

Homey
Darude - Sandstorm
I have been thinking a bit, and you are not wrong. I still would like to cluster though, but with the possibility of transcoding and use or tensorflow so mini pc is maybe better. Do you or anyone else got some brand or link suggestions?
I need to buy 4 for a cluster at least
pc-engines innit
they all use roughly 5W-10W at idle
Dell OptiPlex 3020M Micro is one of the cheapest but also oldest ones
Dell OptiPlex 3050 micro is a bit newer but often found cheap aswell
most that shit on aliexpress i saw uses the lower end mobile chips. you have to be careful cause not all of them supported features like quicksync etc
I just started down a similar path myself, I found an i7 based chromebox on ebay for ~$70 which would be about what I'd pay for a raspberry if I could get one. But there would be some work to do getting a new firmware loaded onto it to subsequently load either HaOS or some other docker.

Well this is timely. I’m looking for two more nodes for proxmox so I can have HA HA
5-10W idle sounds ideal
@umbral cliff ?
cool, discord notified me of that ping over a hour later
I’ll assume whatever it was is gone/cleaned up, let me know if not tho
Got sorted, Was someone advertising a sketchy link
Discord being buggy today lol
Thanks for letting me know and for reporting!
since putting frigate on my box it idles closer to 15-20w
I'm happy with 200w idle
Per server? 😉
I am hoping everything including poe cams comes in at less than 200W
My production is 150-200, my lab is 180-220, my disk shelves are... 300 or so ? router probably 50, and switch 30
Ouchies
I just got my stuff down to ~200w total. Turned off 3 boxes and got everything moved to one.
this is where NUCs do very well. baseload for the whole house is ~150W here, the computers are a tiny fraction of that 😅
I keep my house average below 2000 preferably
heh, reminds me of https://energym.io/blogs/news/the-2000-watt-society-powering-swiss-sustainability
Switzerland makes me think of Toblerone. You're probably more refined than that. You might think of Rolex watches, pocket knives or cheese with holes in it. If you're really fancy, you might say clockwork or CERN, but Switzerland is also home to the 2000-Watt Society. It's hard to imagine what 2000-watts (or 2kW) looks
Gheez that is irritating to read when they constantly refer Watt as measurement of energy used over time 😅
"2000 watts per person per year was enough"
Too bad if you peak over that during first 500ms after new years eve.
I peak that 184 times a day
My 30min avg. howers around 1,5kW - 1,8kW. Electricity heating at Finland. 😬
It's getting warmer outside now, so we only have high peaks of 9.5kw
That is plenty still 🙂
A watt is one joule per second.
It is a measurement of energy over time.
watt is still a unit of power
Power is energy over time, so yea
Are they not fake? I was under the impression they flashed false firmwares on the CPU and memory?
Since most of the stuff you buy on amazon or other places come from China

Lots of good reviews
Yeah, of course. I just saw a lot of issues with f.ex security cameras was sold as Dahua on ebay, but was really a gutted version. I guess I could order some, and check the firmwares properly. But dunno if aliexpress honors fraud sales for refund
It's rate of energy transfer, not amount of energy in practical use when cosidering consumption on daily life. If you read the article above you understand what the general issue was
I put out 3 RPI 4 and one CM4 4GB. Seems they all go for 1500NOK/pc. The CM got sold in 10 minutes. Its kinda funny how overpriced they are
you mean overpowered
Is it any point running I5 vs I7 on the 3050? I see them all over ebay, and not huge price difference between the I7 and I5s
Can it run Crysis? :p
hmm yeah thats a benefit
so a 3500 with 32GB ram and I7 would be a great cluster machine if I have 4?
Yes they cover if you've been sent the wrong thing
do they perform better than the 3500 we discussed above?
quad socket or bust
btw do you know about a cheap switch that can handle at least 2,5gbit on the ports, but have higher "backbone" so I can share filesystem between the clusters with higher than 1gbit speed?
yuck 2.5
just do 10G switch already
readily availiable everywhere, and costs nothing
I think if I go 10gbit I need to buy thinkcenters as they have an expansion slot for a card, the alternative is USB ethernet, and I have not seen those over 2,5
if you want to play around with clusters etc you can just get a 2U box with 4 nodes internally
converged system
can probably get used ones for 3-4k NOK
like custom 2u case? what kind of nodes inside?
no
HPE
Huawei
Dell
these have been around since Gen8, so 2012
should be lot of good options
are they not noise monsters? I had a G7 and that sounded like an airplane
G7 is noisy
My gen8 I can hardly hear
these are a little louder because it has 4 nodes, but fan control is good
my gen9 is hardly audible
3500 what?
Dell OptiPlex 3050 micro
Go take a math class, lol.
I pointed out it was over time and you basically responded with 'No, it's a rate'
Yes rate and that is in one second, but later part i tried to point what I ment that in common dialect it is not refered as watts when talking about amount of energy used
pardon if some terminology is not at point, not my first language.
and whole thing in reference to that article above.
3050 might not have intel nic
7050 does
Maybe a consideration
hmm thats a point. what is the main difference between 3050 and 7050?
The first number
lol, thats informational
actually 7050 seem better as it got pcie slot the 3050 dont
no I take that back I looked at the wrong oone
@clear ferry you can give me a switch! hahaha I mean I am so nice to Raccoons and @last cedar I think i deserve it!
I do remember once that you were not nice to raccoons, so I am not sure if you deserve a switch @clear ferry
is this when we get to use the word, moist?
moist to soaked now?
I don't know how that dog is able to close his mouth without choking on it or avoid biting his tongue
probally bit it nore time then can count
@last cedar has spoken @late gate no switch for you!
Aww! Haha

Is 4x optiplex 7050 w/ I7-6700T and 32GB RAM and 4x 2,5gbit usb c dongles for 100usd/pc = 500usd incl shipping. Only catch is the cases are a bit scratched
Is it most clever to buy an unmanaged or managed switch? MikroTik doesn’t seem to be that expensive. All of my unifi is managed, and maybe it would be clever to manage this one too or no point?
yeah i vote managed
dumb switches have their place but managed is just a little more
get a black spray can if that bothers you too much
Doesn’t bother me, it was just the reason of the price
in the server realm isn't it better to not use hyperthreading due to abuse...?
Yes and no
Depends on your threat model
Which is the default answer for security
But also for that question in particular
Hmm, programs like sonarr will be able to use AI like chatgpt to detect what episodes are in packs and automatically rename things correctly/avoid low quality or mislabeled junk way better.
That's a fun upside.
Can anyone help me find my cat?
its behind the camera you silly
That is an owl
I'm curious what the cat is hiding from.
All our cats are just really special
I think they might just have ghosts in their eyeballs or something
That one is an absolute floofunit though
cats eh; gimme a trash panda, skunk with smell sack removed dog or such
Seem like managed 2.5g switches are more expensive than I thought even second hans. Cant see anything under 400-1000usd and up.
i've seen that one already!
still a gorgeous floof ball
I tried making stable diffusion make the cat more visible through the curtain https://imgur.com/a/emcBmj4
If they can't see you, you surely can't see them
sounds a bit like the reasoning of a small human
is it in the blender?
Is this an acceptable switch? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1746497-REG/netgear_ms108eup_100nas_8_port_multi_gigabit_ultra60_poe.html
Or should i stick to the brand and use https://eu.store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching/products/switch-enterprise-8-poe
2pm ; 3-5pm; now until 9pm for my delivery window.
Netgear's managed switches are awful. I'd try to find almost any other brand.
You don't need to stick with Ubiquiti unless you want their features but do avoid Netgear
You can also get a 10Gb SFP+ switch and 2.5Gb compatible SFPs to use in it
Though a switch with 2.5GBase-T onboard will probably give you a better experience.
oh no, openai blocks oracle's ip range
searching that edit as YAML button in opnsense...
Just do full VPN tunnel back home
lol, that'd be full loop because I use the oracle machine as vpn gw
I just route openai.com through the local gw now
Why though? To go from a semi well associated IP to a well associated external IP?
or do you just distrust your ISP?
I just want to switch IPs, as I said I have a static one for > 10 years and searching this ip almost gets my name to it 😄
Just cycle IPs then 🤷
tell that my ISP
I should have a cycling IP as I already asked them but it just stays
With Vodafone I need to disconnect for 24h for the IP to cycle D:
that's a no go
well, there's an easier way. Just use a different mac on the upstream interface for a while^^
and with opnsense switch GWs is a breeze, it actually cycles between 5
no mac spoofing on ISP fiber fritzboxes
tuya plugs reealy want to get that DNS 😩
might just be a horrible implementation that busy loops on the DNS
yeah I have 10 plugs that doesn't help either
at least my pihole is running on SSD, so less danger of having the storage go bad because of the huge amount of log writing
the days where SSD is the durable storage 😂
What is your honest experience with Nginx Proxy Manager vs Traefik?
Traefik 
I switched from NGINX to Traefik and haven't looked back. Trivial to set up, even for services outside of the Docker stack, and handles SSL certs seamlessly.
I use Cloudflare for my DNS and it handles the DNS-01 validation
I was leaning towards that yeah. I tried reddit, but its like mac vs linux vs windows-discussion
I mean, NGINX works, and apparently performs better if you're pushing massive amounts of traffic
However, Treafik is fine for normal folks, and frankly that I can expose a new service just by labelling a container is awesome
yeah that sounds like the best idea!
I did that with docker-geb re-writing my nginx config before
Which was slightly weird. But worked
How do I add my user (ubuntu system) to be able to write to /opt directly without having to sudo: In windows I'd simply add the user to the folder permissions, but I don't know how that works with User-Group-Everyone system.. Right now /opt is root:root, and altering the everyone section of the permissions seems overkill.. I also don't know what the consequences would be if I changed the other of /opt to myUser:myUser (755)
Well, you could change the group to myUser and give the group write permissions
Or you could delve into ACLs
What does ACL stand for? Access Control Levels?
Oh duh.. lists of course
intersting, I didn't know linux had that.. that would be close to windows permission system, right?
I'm trying to duplicate "Home Automation Guy"'s setup.. He puts everything in /opt.. I kinda like it.. seems more clean than the messy way I did it 🙂
Everything... interesting
well.. maybe not his coffee 🙂
I like using docker compose files and putting the volumes close to it.. is that wrong?
Not really, just using /opt is odd
I use /docker
(well, /data/docker on some hosts)
Then I've got a folder that's clearly intended to be managed by docker...
Also, if I back it up I'm only backing up configuration, not software
If you use /opt then other software may be installed there
From a previous life I got into the habit of putting all data under /data
So I'll have /data/docker, and /data/home for all the home folders, etc
I somehow got the idea that you shouldn't mess with the / folder 🙂
Well, not that itself, but you can create folders under it
I can back up one tree (/data) and get all the "user data" on the system
My home server keeps /data/ on separate disks to the OS, so if I need to rebuild the OS I can remove the disks and avoid any risk of accidentally writing to the wrong drives
That sounds great!
Things you learn from other people's learning experiences 😄
Yeah, thanks a lot for your help!

Hello guys .....
I can't believe , how it's possible !!!!
open source. can do almost everything
yep
yea that listing dosen't look sketchy or anything lol
3g rpi4 🧐 sus
i doubt its a rpi4 or a rpi at all
It's not. "2. It is a customized box for Home Assistant, with performance and stability as good as raspberry PI"
That's a low benchmark to aim for

I just looked a presentation of our new water cooled stuff yesterday
And I love it
@indigo bronze anyone have time for a quick question in dm?

account issue tho so not sure what/who to turn to
Earned in 600usd on 3 raspberries since Monday. My new cluster machines all covered now!
did you sell them for 200$ a piece? o.0
Yes
I also ordered the enterprise switch from unifi (the one with 2x 10g spf and 8 2.5g poe). I got a really good price from a local vendor below the unifi webshop price. Guess they can’t sell them!
enterprise
2.5G
found the issue
Yeah they are not enterprise, but 400usd is not a bad price
It covers my need
There another pi sold.
LOL
I should sit down and learn Shine On You Crazy Diamond on guitar one day
I've digged this song for 29 years
I want to be a scalper now!
You already are
sold my pi3b+ for 80€
Crazy
dear lurd
lolled hard at it when it gold sold in the morning the next day after i listed it
I guess its a status symbol having pi. Im glad i didnt go down that path
Wonder if these 13yo buying these kids toys have gotten their moms approval to use her credit card
U can get an i3 nuc for 200 bucks
You can get better specs than that by shopping around
You can get a dual socket server with 32g ram probably too
If you listen to one acoustic album in your life, let it be this one
it all depends on the project though, I just installed a rpi2 to make timelapses 24/7 and using the integrated h264 encoder makes it do that job very good, where as a nuc will likely eat double the power AND cost double (of the original pi price)
Just do Poe cameras and remote server, heck, cloud server, free @dusky plank

No power draw
yeah, just completely ignore the 77v
Only pi project I will do is monitoring the water meter with an optical sensor. Water company refuse to give access to the wireless
I just have an usb reader. Think I needed a special one for that meter. Its a central heating meter so need twoway communication. Someone made a program for it. Could use a zero though
i got a i5-9500T, 1x 16gb ddr4 and 500gb ssd dell micro for 235€
it sips only 5W at idle
and its very similar in size to a nuc
I did get my dl380 gen9 for free, with CPUs, and 64GB memory, i have upgraded to 128, but I should get hold of 256 more
I am a bit sceptical the 6500 cpu wont be good enough for transcoding cause of hdr and quicksync, bit hopefully the gpu can
I transcoded fine on x5660s
6500 cannot do hdr/4k at least not accelerated
my i7 6700 did transcode 4k hdr to 1080p sdr on its gpu at 30 fps from 24 the movie has
I never really transcode though. Shield is direct stream. Only reason for transcode is if someone with a phone watching
orly? last I checked jellyfin choked
Yuck jellyfin
I still use plex though
Still dont like plex direction of development though. But still the best ui of the three
ye, takes some time to load but runs fine after it
scrubbing is slow
not acceptable
Jellyfin is like running freebsd or solaris just cause haha
I think its great
Would plugging an egpu to the cluster be strong enough to transcode if ever? Like a 1080ti. Got a spare
plex constantly crashes. Jellyfin runs fine. Easy choice
eGPU is usually limited by the bus speed. So you'd have to check what that is
Plex never crashed for me
I see people run gpu off the m2 port that is g3 capable. Should be enough for transcoding
what about it?
I like the auto adding in skip credits and intro stuff. that feature is pretty slick
They dont focus on old bugs, mostly things like live tv and streaming browsing. I think they try to distance from the piracy staple. They used 5-6 years just fixing the auto refresh bug on shields
you sure it's not just a you issue?
I don't have a shield so wouldn't know what bug that would be
x1: 985 MB/s
m.2 is x4 iirc. So roughly 4GB/s
should be fine?
4k@60 SDR is roughly 2GB/s
I didnt even bother to touch Plex since its propriotary software.
No thanks.
I was the same way for a long time but then had a buddy who was willing to share thier library and a mother who wanted to access my library and down the rabbit hole one goes lol
Nooooo! Not those videos!
thankfully you can pick and choose what to share lol
you can do the same with jellyfin
its not as stream lined, but possible
but you can download stuff
jelleyfin was a hot mess when I moved off kodi and already settled into plex so for me it's meh lol
I've forever had an issue with Plex where it will lose A/V sync when jumping around in a file (sometimes just skipping forward) and Jellyfin never does that
I never had that issue
I stopped using Plex as a DVR because of it
at the beginning of my journey with jellyfin i had some issues, after a few updates they were gone
infact kodi would struggle with that but plex was always perfect. was one of the first things I noticed
there are several threads on the web about people seeing it and one earlier this year that the devs had found the issue and were planning to fix it
it drove me nuts. I would have to stop and play to get the audio and video back in sync
The android app for Jellyfin needs some love though
there is a ton of variables that can play into that
I hope they move that from a simple wrapper around the web-app to standalone, so it can get some offline features :/
hard to pin point whats hw vs sw
I guess plex is a hit and miss. I used xbmc before it was kodi and plex since that. Tried emby but dont like the client
I was using DirectPlay to my Shield & Apple TV, so it could have been something in that pipeline
the only issue i ever had was when the friend of mine who is sharing their library accidently nuked their db and that caused shows etc on my end to show up not in order
I would like to have an mysql option for plex. The sqlite thing always crap up on large libraries
I will say I wish it was slightly easier to fully back up plex.. granted it's saving one folder and all it's subfolder but it just seems.. not right lol
I used the non docker version and trying to go back is a mess. Dunno what it even did, copy was a nogo
shouldn't matter what version you use. the plex folder resides outside the docker regardless
@static schooneryou should try and buy one of those AT&T fall out shelters. California is the last state that has any available
let me see if I can find the video I watched on them. it's crazy
A family in Kansas decided to buy an old AT&T Bunker and renovate it as they live in there.

I would have so bought that if I knew about it
dude in the video is doing it wrong imo. removing too much of the stuff that makes the unit be able to operate stand alone
My Plex hasn't crashed since 2013 
I couldn't even run it for 13min without the client crashing 🤷
user error
Never seen that happen
Never saw anything else 🤷
Too much filth in your library @glacial knot
slaps the table
I just picked up a used Google home mini. Got it for 9 bucks so couldn't resist even though I'm not a huge fan.. How should I go around cleaning it, 99% rubbing alcohol is safe for the fabric?
How do I go around reseting the firmware on it too?
Looks like I've got a 1st gen.
Already achieved my goals 
PC load letter amirite?
You will likely wanna clean the mic switch. The underside has this rubber sticker. It's actually pretty thin, use like a really small screw driver or guitar pick or something to work it up on one side. If you do it right you can peel it off while leaving the glue in place. remove the four screws and you'll have access to the guts
get some contact cleaner and go to town if it looks roughed up
#!/usr/bin/expect is heckin weird
ah yes, ssh scripting form the outside 😄
Change to Bert. should fix the issue.
my other nas is named Bert
where is this ? that clothing makes it look like it is -55c

@clear ferry latest update on the Octavia....
Was meant to start production week 5... still not started, no prognosis RIP

by time you get your car, my leasing contract will be over 😂
In case anyone is into fish keeping, I just uploaded the video #6 and have a pic of how it looks atm: https://youtu.be/DgeewPp45oQ
Welcome to this insane ride that is Fishkeeping. It was started in September 2022, upgraded in January 2023 and here you can follow its progress and evolution.
Fish keeping is one of my current main hobbies and hope you enjoy this fish tank as much as I do. Have a wonderful 2023!

I had a Jasco plug fail like that when I overloaded it
Not as fast, but same behavior
This one has been used for a couple years now I think.
Mine worked fine until I unplugged it one day and then it started doing that as soon as I plugged it back in. It was strange
does it actually switch the load?
by the sounds of it it does and that could be fatal 😛
Easily fixed though. The film capacitor has degraded.
It can't get enough current.
Assuming you can get it open without destroying the case.
Yeah, it was switching load. They don't seem to open easily so just going to replace. :p
I wanted to take a peek but I don't feel like breaking plastic welds open or glue.
Well if it's not working there's no harm in putting it in the "vice of knowledge".
(Squeeze the case carefully with a vice to break the plastic welds)
My vice is in a box somewhere. It might meet the hammer of knowledge.
Fun, my Google Coral shipped
I need to order my replacement car for this one already 🤣
There is talk of electric cars now
Which of course is BS
And of them loaning us cars, which will never happeb
Meanwhile, a new hire just got his Kia, the car I wasn't allowed to order because I ordered an Octavia (that they can't make)
they did a disservice to the brand with this: https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/features/why-the-kia-logo-is-confusing#:~:text=The letters "I" and ",” instead of “KIA”.
that a kitchen plug right next to the sink?
the sink is nowhere near
odd the ground plug would be facing upward then
that's a curious message to get in home assistant container 🤔
[notice] A new release of pip is available: 23.0 -> 23.0.1
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip
what did you think they build the container with? nix?
Also, why's your HA container allowed to reach arbitrary servers? 🤔
because 
I actually don't think I restrict mine either. It has too many things to reach, so I'm lazy
I restrict very little outbound
I have an isolation VLAN to poke devices
and I block all my IP cameras from reaching the internet
but do you protect them from being reached by the internet? D:
well yes
inbound I only have a select few ports open, and they are either via reverse proxy or via MFA, or both
MFA on the port? 🤔
the service
I currently don't have any port open except for the VPN server
I'm not fully tinfoil, I like being able to reach services from customer sites 😄
And sharing stuff with customers
when you work with files that are 20-50GB often and your corp external facing servers are shite
well
I can reach my stuff from the office. There's wireguard for android^^
but yea, I don't need any of that for work
well, my corp servers aren't garbo^^
cries in old men company
our founders are still alive D:
and sometimes commit code. Which actually scares me
oh, did that run on HPUX?
What is a solid naming strategy (best practice) for mqtt topics?
Depends on the use case tbh
for home assistant 🙂
something you can remember 🤷
@scenic radish sorry, I wasn't trying to be short.. what info would you need?
If you're looking for inspiration, here's an example from one of my projects: https://github.com/Tediore/audioflow2mqtt#mqtt-topic-structure-and-examples
@scenic radish thank you!
A lot still runs on hpux
btw. atx. have you played with that metallb yet?
Not a lot, just got it working with auto cloudflare DNS generation based on exposed service IP address
This seems like the right chan to ask...
Anybody come up with a decent way to backup an install of proxmox? I'm referring to the actual proxmox ve installation. Not the VMs/LXCs.
I have the VMs/LXCs set on a schedule within proxmox. They are going to an external USB drive.
I'd like to do the same for the actual proxmox ve install on bare metal.
I could go traditional routes but I'm looking for something with little hassle like managing backups in proxmox for VMs/LXCs.
make infrastructure code. Backup the code, not the infra
I'd just suggest Debian + kvm + docker and rsnapshot / zfs send receive via rclone
proxmox uses nodes, which would satisfy your needs out of the box if you expand your infra
this way you'd just flash proxmox if something fails and the node gets provisioned again
I don't think I'm following. Are you suggesting just doing something like rsync of the proxmox ve install?
I'm just trying to avoid reinstalling proxmox ve if I have hardware failures.
im lazy and dont want to reconfigure everything again
outside of maybe reloading VMs/LXCs
for instance, i dont want to figure out how to setup email alerts again =]
im assuming you're referring to running some type of cluster of proxmox machines?
im on day 3 of using it
so i've got a bit to learn
I'm suggesting to not have to worry about that. By making the config from an external script against an API
Not really reasonable for one-off first time setups.
yea, that usually works easier^^
Hi everyone! I had a series of doubts regarding PVE, I wanted to make a script in order to backup the Proxmox configuration files, on the Proxmox Wiki, they explain that it is recommended to backup the /etc/pve /etc/network/interfaces /etc/passwd and /etc/resolv.conf.
My question is, if I...
looks like folks have already solved the problem too
should be easy to set that up
Proxmox 🤮
clearly running each service on its own dedicated hardware ||(its a joke)||
Lol
Sure
I disagree with you but have fun with that
Sorry, didn't catch the sarcasm 🙂
sure back when i had 20 seprate machines in my closet at home
these days i prefer it denser
I think the all the IaaS and CaaS solutions out there are pretty damn neat. It scales well for the home lab and large networks.
I just had so much issues with proxmox. Never been stable
Especially networking issues
I never had issues with proxmox
unless those that i have provoked myself
i had too many issues with proxmox..
but its me who is to blame
So far things have been fine for me. I'm on day 4 though lol
This is me but with every home hosted thing
I do fine setting things up. It's the management that gets me
I just run out of time at some point.
time/energy
if have time; don't have energy.... if have energy; don't have time. it's an issue
around and around it goes
time to go lay down for awhile
I feel this in my bones
Mhmmm
Some day truenas, the new version based on linux, not bsd is a good competition to proxmox
Why proxmox over docker?
because i want to run HA in a VM
zero management
i just update HA through the GUI and dont have to mess around with the underlying OS
my goal is as little management as possible once things are setup
running HA in a docker is more work than spinning up a VM
also i like that it's gui driven
i get enough CLI between my job and this hobby in general
some clicking with the mouse is a nice break from typing all day
So.. this is #the-water-cooler
There is no HA talk in here
Just shitposts
All day
unless it's HA shitposts
sucks that the new quick restart thing dosen't work for hac's
The quick restart thing won't update any new integrations so it makes sense
@last cedar explain yourself https://i.redd.it/woiuc96pffla1.jpg
@tidal bronze freeze to death yet? https://youtube.com/shorts/hheMK2JyQoA?feature=share
is there a fixture i can mount a light on and have it move x & y ? do these have a certain name?
move as in change degrees
build one with lego mindstorms?
I thought about that
anyways, do you mean automatic, or move it manually and keep as is?
but I need it acting really smooth and precise
move manually programatically and stay
kind of like the swivel lights at a disco but I need to set the positions
I don't think I've seen one tbh.
I'd probably look for a webcam gimble, potentially harvested from a for-parts ebay scavange
now I want to do it myself. Just thinking about it D:
the mosquitto project from gates foundation had a fixture for their laser
i need that
I'll combine it with a camera also
oh, it might not be related to gates at all 😅 oopsie
I half wanted to suggest a 6 axis robot arm 😂
though mostly because I work with those. And it's one of those "if all you have is a hammer..." things
I love watching these arms 🦾
mkbhd made a really cool video on them once
visually, at least
looking for for-parts webcams on ebay... there must have been some truck that fell over
42 entries, 15 of one type, 15 of the other D:
why docker over proxmox?
Sadly I'm not allowed to take photos in the lab D:
or, at least not publish them. I still take some in the work profile 🤷
Why docker over k8s 🤔
why use computers anyway?
just use a cluster of rpis
If it is the hotel I am thinking of, I think I am still under NDA. You will just have to use your imagination
Meine fantazie JA
Fun fact 3% of people suffer from aphantasia
I would be useless with that
looking at the wiki definitions of it and mental imagery, I'm one of those 🤷
though mostly because my mind and memory just don't work visually
You don't have mental images ?
So you can't imagine a purple elephant with white spots inside your head ?
not really
Interesting
I can conceptionalize it, but not see it
can you visualize an image of your parents inside your mind ?
i.e, do you have photographic memory ?
also, do you have internal monologue ?
I don't have issues with 3D and space manipulations though
but I do that entirely on a sort of wireframe construct of the world. Nothing even close to an image
yea, I'm not one of those weirdos without monologue
Mine also switches through languages depending on what I do
one of the founders of pixar also has aphantasia, so you can definitivly have imagination without mental images, I'm just very intrigued by the prospect of not being able to visualize something internally
it is very handy when I work on 18U servers, and I know I'm replacing part X, so I visualize the server and I take it apart inside my mind like ... I don't know the english word, but the german word is probably similar to the norwegian word "sprengskisse" -> "blown apart image" to find the part I want to replace
it's not entirely nothing. But maybe a children's drawing level of a tree. No matter which tree
explosion diagram I think
Might also just be the literal of the German word 🤔
also, 18U server? o.0 I assume that's not a single drawer, but disk shelves and other components connected via some backplate? o.0
yea, but you can remove individual drawers and stuff
not like 4U servers that are 4U because they cram some stupidly large parts in
like our 4Us with consumer GPUs 😂
It is physically and electrically one server
that you add trays of CPUs and memory to
up to 4 trays of them
4 CPUs per cell board
and 16 DIMMS per cell board
just slightly more integrated blade shelves^^
Not really
since this is one system
bladesystems are individual servers
we were planning to do the same thing with Synergy, there is a photonics connector on the backplane, so you could pool CPU and memory into larger systems via high speed optical connections
but it was never put into production
yea, I do understand the difference
It will probably come on HPC systems.... in 2025 ?
the difference is
RX8640 == 4-16 CPUs depending on how many cells you have that have one OS
Bladesystem = 16 individual 2 socket servers that have 16 OS installs
vertical scaling sucks either way 😕
The first gen was the HP V-Class server, then came the RX\RP74\6-84\6 cell based servers(2-4 cells), then came the Superdome (up to 16 cells and 192PCIe cards) then came Superdome2, 16 blades electrically connected, and now we have the Superdome Flex, that has up to 16 chassis with 4 sockets each connected (64 sockets, 64TB RAM, 64 GPUs, etc etc)
The vertical scaling makes sense for application that can use it
like the Old cell based stuff was mostly for DBs where more cores \ memory was interesting, wheras the newer Superdome Flex makes a lot of sense to hypervisor hosts or in memory databases
which is pretty much every application up to some point
and it's way easier to build applications that scale well vertically
and has less inherent losses than horizontal
Yes, people who don't understand IT just go "yeah, just add five nodes to the cluster"
yeah, that isn't how it works
oh, I understand IT. I still say it, but usually to annoy people 😂
Or like on another discord I frequent, this guy came in, said he bought 3 DL380s because he wants to run his minecraft server in a cluster across all of them

"they have 64GB RAM each"

There's also quite some situations where it's not easy to split things because theiy are under someone else's controll
I wish I could split HA over the various servers. And get HA on top with that. But ehhh 😂
race conditions ? never heard of, that is just made up by the government to take our money
lockstep ? what is that ? some kind of ploy to take our cars away ?
well, race conditions start happening the moment you have any concurrency. Doesn't even necessarily need parallelism. that just adds new ones into the mix
but probably the RX8640 is my favorite server of all time, there is only like 3 left in production in norway, but there are a lot of them in germany and eastern europe
And I'm probably the only one under the age of 60 that know them

I'm sure there's some poor intern in some shop that's out of official support that has to deal with them 😂
probably
poor guy
fun fact
that system will accept anything as firmware upgrade
I once pushed a zipfile of some pictures to it
it accepted and flashed it
not a problem, unless you reboot it to activate it

No cryptographic signatures for update files D:
nope
it's from when we still designed our own servers in a garage somewhere
like the A-class HP-UX box
let me see if I can find a picture, the power supply of that is totally epic
You can't see it in that picture unfortunatly but the power supply connects to the motherboard by hooks that you screw in place
it does look like a molex power connector going onto the board
it does
might be rev2
I replaced the powersupply on one of those once, and it had clamps
Now I need to find some internal archive
Are you talking about the Mains style terminals for PCBs, or more crimped cable end clamps?
This is the one, previous gen
RP2430
look at the connector on the top of the board
the power supply slides in there
and clamps over the board
those exposed copper pads?
yes
that's amazing
yes
cna I get you stuck in a loop?
yes
will you send me those better zigbee coordinators you promised?
yes
I already sent a package to the german speaking commonwealth
@hearty depot got a NIC 😄
meeting with company that wants to offer me job on monday, meeting with my boss on wednesday, curious if she will have a mental break when I tell her
True True, When youre visiting me xD
wtf?
leaving, after all this years and all the nopes to the other jobs?
not leaving yet, just actually gonna hear what they want to offer me
since they have been hounding me to come in
They will not be happy with your rate xD
I actually expect them to offer me more than I have today, since they give out €1000 in bonus per certification you take while working for them
consultancy is big now
Where close to jumping ships too.
New IT-Jobs keep up with inflation. Employer not so much.
Wondering when the universe sends you a achievement plate for this
got 0, not having the luxus of time :/
I only worked 50% last year since I was home with a baby
did certs in my free time
state pays
Sweet, mine is just 1 1/2
Good times
ended up with this dual axis pan tilt thingie
Something broke, nothing important, problem for later
Third bussines trip in two months. I’m starting to hate airports. Don’t know how quadflight does it…
About a week each too. When am I supposed to work?
In the evening after you get to the hotel, clearly
was supposed to travel next week
but then I spent half this week evacuation my stomach content both ways. So I decided to cancel that plan
What, you didn't fancy passing it on to others? Share the love pain and all that
I'm probably fine by Sunday, when I was supposed to fly
But I don't want to bet company money on that
And neither do I want to take a bet on whether I'll be able to hold any contents during liftoff 😂
I prefer daytripping to norwegian customers, and single night trips to scandinavia
oh yes, I feel fine in normal 1G, let's put pressure on that belly with no way to move for minute. That's clearly a good idea
I’m in Edinburgh airport right now, btw Tinkerer.
Can recommend the Carlton George in Glasgow. They have a complimentary minibar.
Is it any suggestions for an good DNS service I can self host that hopefully got a GUI? After running multi vlan I would like to control the DNS locally a bit better. Not going to be used for external DNS though
Well opnsense + unbound @late gate
not planning to install a new router though
does vscode count for gui? 😂
haha
Only thing I found is PowerDNS, but never used that
@clear ferry Is logically possible to just turn off all router stuff on unifi, setup an opensense vm and let that route and firewall the network?
maybe ? wouldn't
probably not
well, might be technically possible, but you'll see the limit in throughput
Pihole?
@limber mist pihole is not the best in multi-vlan
Is working for me just fine.
remembers a time when a pie hole was the mouth
By default pihole limits itself to 1 hop, but you can configure it to work for any network.
Even works with my Fortinet VPN
Fortinet 😂 I remember those
Hehehe

So its a no
I like unifi, but seriously no nat forwarding, dns control or any basic features. They have on the edge series, but still call this pro
When you said "DNS", you meant firewall?
nat for the firewall, dns for dns
Hmm,
For example I want to force every rouge dns server that chat to google to be forced through my own dns server. unifi cant do that from the ui
We use the UDM Pro at work, and they are ok
apparently they are somewhat broken with their online detection and refuse to allow access to the upstream network if they don't reach the internet though o.0
does it not allow to set DNAT rules? o.0
no
not at all
im shocked. its kinda basic
you can ONLY set drop and allow rules on point to point
yes you can do it with iptables, but thats not persistant without 3rd party, and might not survive updates
That doesn't sound too bad at least
There's a reason why I dropped unifi as my firewall and did opnsense
I kinda want to keep the unifi equipment though, but would like to switch the firewall for sure
Yeah it's what I have. Unifi AP + opnsense firewall
how do you control the AP then?
I upgraded to a Unifi AP6 Long Range lat year,
They're nice. Probably the most stable AP I have used x3
For work I was testing Fortinet APs... They're okay, but they had issues x3
Using the controller software?
You can run that yourself. Don't need a cloud key
ah yeah
So maybe I should get an opensense box, remove the UDM-Pro, manage the switches and AP with the controller software and be happy?
yuck unifi
