maybe not, so might be overkill yeah

[clear ferry]

Even i only use 10G between my storage and lab nodes

Everything else is 1G

Albeit , i have 8 NICs on my router, 8 on my lab and 6 on my production node

[mellow parcel]

sounds about right

[late gate]

well that was my plan to with high speed between storage and lab, though on drives in storage its limited how much you can upload in speed

[mellow parcel]

nics galore

[late gate]

I guess my storage gives maximum 30MB/s on the drives over network

[clear ferry]

I can easily push 4Gbit on rust

With 80+VMs

[mellow parcel]

slow storage eh

[glacial knot]

that's also 80+ instances of spinning rust though

[late gate]

I think I will go with the mikrotik with 12 10g slots for now, and use the unifi for the rest. The unifi router is gone, so its just the unifi switch left (24 ports)

[clear ferry]

Well, it's a 20 drive draid1

Write isn't great

Reads are fine

[mellow parcel]

yesh

[clear ferry]

I have 16 spare 2TB SSDs though

[glacial knot]

I'll take 4

I need a second vdev soon either way

[late gate]

@clear ferry do you think its possible to push 10gbit out of the ali router if I plug a 10g m2 to rj adapter in it?

[clear ferry]

I'm getting 24 more soon probably

[mellow parcel]

i need more ssd's

as do most of us

[clear ferry]

No need to route 10G on sense

[late gate]

I just have one NVME that takes the things that need fast things like databases

[mellow parcel]

slowly moving to nvme

[late gate]

I guess we wont get 10G internet soon. At least I have 2.5 ports in the one I bought. I bet they will push a version with sfp soon

[mellow parcel]

most of my stuff dosn't have it though

[late gate]

On the lab I working on setting up I use a TB nvme for proxmox and core files, and a ZFS pool on some 2TB SSD drives on each node

Only thing it didnt seem like it was possible to install proxmox on a NVME with ZFS during install as it want to drives

[late gate]

I might throw one more node into the cluster that got a 11-13th gen cpu cause of plex and 4K transcoding. older cpu cant do proper HDR

[mellow parcel]

13th gen is nice and fast

[finite atlas]

6th gen is still plenty good for me

[mellow parcel]

for ha yeah 6th gen is plenty

[finite atlas]

[late gate]

6th gen cant do proper transcoding

[finite atlas]

why

[late gate]

I hear 12th gen is better than 13th gen on transcoding

[glacial knot]

my clients can do transcoding just fine 🤷

[late gate]

@finite atlas cant use quicksync for HDR in 4K. It came on 7th

[mellow parcel]

sounds like a plex issue

not a ha issue

[forest edge]

it's not the transcoding it's the file formats each gen does. earlier architecture didn't support encoding on some formats

[glacial knot]

more likely jellyfin
But at the end of the day, it's what the hardware engine supports

[finite atlas]

well, it does transcode 4k hdr h265 content at 27 fps

more than the playback 24 fps

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[late gate]

but missing encoding for the best quality, so you loose a lot quality

not saying it wont work

but just less quality

[finite atlas]

not really loosing much quality

[late gate]

that I wont argue

[finite atlas]

native and transcoded look very similar

[mellow parcel]

if not needing the gpu though 6th gen is good

[late gate]

all my clusters are four 6gen I7 and they will do fine for everything else at least

[mellow parcel]

[forest edge]

in what? the pi's hwaccel for video is legit

apple tv is not the best for direct stream though, unless you use infuse player

shield is good at direct

[clear ferry]

I seldom transcode anything on the atv

It supports virtually anything

[forest edge]

can't watch some things HDR on my older tv cause it gets too dark. thankfully the plex transcoding lightens it up lol

is it concidered good to use a sudo admin user in LXC or should root be used? I kinda want to use admin and bind the id to the same id as my server for easier nfs rights

Also any tips on how to get the hostnames in proxmox to register in opnsense? I have registred lan.domain.tld as dns search domain in opnsense, and proxmox, but I cant ping say ansible.lan.domain.tld and get local ip. Should not unbound be able to resolve that by itself?

[clear ferry]

Yuck lxc

Have you told opnsense to register dhcp leases in DNS?

[late gate]

yeah, but I use static ip in proxmox

lxc is not too bad for simple things that you dont need a full overlay. easier to pass and share gpu

[finite atlas]

lxc is great

[late gate]

I want to try to run docker on lxc to utilize the zfs benefits on docker

seem like its working well for other people

[finite atlas]

thats how i do it aswell, works very well indeed

[late gate]

do you have to run it privileged? I had issues with nfs in unprivileged

[finite atlas]

i dont run nfs

just docker in lxc

[late gate]

I like to mount nfs to be able to reuse profiles, tools, centralised configuration and such (like docker compose I never store locally, just mount)

Is there truly no option to get a gaming laptop that doesn't suck with a optical drive directly from a manufacturer?

I think some of the alienware laptops still have bluray drives

but besides my joke answers, i have not found any modern ones
why do you need a internal optical drive anyway, cant it be a external one?

[regal trench]

I already have external options. That's not ideal

[forest edge]

yea many of them are still beefy enough in size to have room for them. your better off getting an external drive though imo

[finite atlas]

I only find Laptops with a optical drive, but without a dedicated gpu.

[forest edge]

why isn't an external drive an option?

[finite atlas]

dongles are no fun to be carried around

[forest edge]

why would you want to carry around all the weight needed to house an internal one

always seemed to me in the past the pc outlasted the drive so I could totally see the shift from them removing them internally

[regal trench]

There are a number of reasons but one of them yes. Is dongles

Dongles is just one of the reasons

That's a big one though

[forest edge]

you can 3d print a casing for the external to mount on the bottom of the laptop with a super short usb cable then it wouldn't be so much a dongle lol

[finite atlas]

What do you need a optical drive for anyways nowdays?

[regal trench]

alright, you do you

[regal trench]

Cloud is no good for same reasons

[finite atlas]

but i'd trust a good m.2 over a cd any day

[forest edge]

yea general cd's are shit for long term

they degrade and the data becomes corrupted

[regal trench]

Newer optical media lasts far longer than a standard disc

[forest edge]

they do make longer lasting ones but really good ole fashion tape drives would last longer but aside from that, data on disk last a whole lot longer, espeically disc that are not always running

[regal trench]

See mdrive disks (optical) and similar

[forest edge]

do you really need centuries?

[finite atlas]

i'm not questioning the reasoning behind it, but what is of such importance to you, that you care that much?

[forest edge]

photos etc most likely

home videos

[regal trench]

Sensitive client documents that need to be archived and can't be uploaded to the cloud

Then there is a entire sub category that goes along with that I won't get into

[forest edge]

so you don't need a gaming laptop then

you just need a buisness laptop

hell you can buy any turd with an older i7 and it would do what you need to do in the form of media burning

Is there truly no option to get a gaming laptop that doesn't suck with a optical drive directly from a manufacturer?

Gaming and or business

[umbral cliff]

Well someone did post a link to manufacturers with drives

[clear ferry]

Yuck gaming laptop

[umbral cliff]

But also, most people have swapped to things like USB, cloud, network storage, or other storage methods instead of CDs

Also, who needs an optical drive?

[umbral cliff]

Apparently they have sensitive client data that can only be stored on CD-r

[clear ferry]

I haven't used one privately in close to 10 years

Use them for hpux installs still

But that is an archeic Unix system

Even for sensitive data at work it's stored on network shares or cloud

I have a proxmox server and its working wonders. However I am about to add two servers into the mix. Each has dual 10 core xeons and 256 gig ram. Should I stick with proxmox? Ive been slightly leaning towards docker lately and all that.

[finite atlas]

You can run docker ontop of proxmox.

[steady dirge]

I could. I feel that makes the install a little more complicated in regards to troubleshooting.

[prisma briar]

How?

[steady dirge]

It depends. Are we talking of a vm with proxmox on the host? Or incorporating proxmox directly into the host os?

[prisma briar]

Just install docker on proxmox. I run a container with docker inside it.

Proxmox is debian-based, it can run docker

[finite atlas]

Make a LXC Container where you run all your dockers in.
Messing directly with the host OS gets messy quick and VM's kinda hits in performance a bit.

VM performance hit on CPU bound problems is overrated IMO

on IO bound not so much, but ehh

[clear ferry]

Biggest issue is usually people don't understand how VM schedulers work

And just assume more virtual resources are better

[glacial knot]

wdym scheduler? inside the VM, or the scheduler on the hypervisor scheduling the VMs 🤔

[clear ferry]

The hypervisor

[glacial knot]

that mostly just schedules userspace processes that map to the CPUs inside the MV 🤷

[clear ferry]

Yes, and people think that adding 4vcpus will be 4x faster than 1vcpu, it seldom is unless it is a single VM system

[finite atlas]

Homework of today: Go spam your questions online?

[stray cape]

no i have to do a survey to understand the potential users of those platforms. i was assigned to do a user survey

i dont know anyone in my country who uses home automation platforms so i'm posting it here

actually i'm also going to conduct some interviews if you'd like to talk for a little i'd greatly appreciate it

i'd also love to see if anyone would volunteer to test my designs that would also help a lot

[umbral cliff]

Not uncommon for lazy assignments to be "go collect surveys" that aren't checked or verified to be decent surveys

[umbral cliff]

Also with this, I'm sure plenty do use it. Whether it's google home, apple Homekit, Amazons alexa, or even home assistant

Since I can guarantee you at least one of those 4 are available in your country

Also proof reading surveys to ensure there's valid questions on each step is important too

[stray cape]

[late gate]

Im not sure if ZFS on the proxmox filesystem was the most clever thing to do :/

[clear ferry]

Zfs is quite nice

If you know what you are doing

Proxmox on the other hand

@last cedar

[late gate]

well proxmox is hitting the disk in an extreme level since I cluster it

dont think it is good for the disk

[glacial knot]

I'm slightly annoyed that ZFS doesn't allow to set level of redundancy on a volume level

[clear ferry]

Well, synchronous writes will be instant probably

[clear ferry]

You can do that with snapraid+mergerfs

[glacial knot]

pretty sure btrfs allows for that as well 🙂

but btrfs tends to break in stupid ways

[clear ferry]

Yes btrfs is fine for mirror

Nothing else

[late gate]

I see some run a base volume on ext4 for proxmox files, ram on logging, and zfs on the rest of the drive for vm

[last cedar]

Question 1: true or false

Leaves are not actually moved by the wind, but fear of meeting the thing that creates the driving force of wind causes them to move, due to an inbuilt self protection mechanism called gerbilisation.

[clear ferry]

I'll say, flue

[prisma briar]

ZFS is not the best OS filesystem I've found.

[late gate]

yeah I agree, so will probably split up the filesystem to its own volume

the OS fs I mean

[clear ferry]

Zfs is great for os level with three way mirrors

[prisma briar]

There's some conditions where it wants you to poke at the FS before mounting that can be triggered by unexpected power losses that will pause a boot I don't like. Makes it a pita to get into systems without IPMI

[clear ferry]

But I do prefer lvm

[prisma briar]

Yea, xfs or ext4 on lvm will boot way more reliably.

[clear ferry]

Zfs snapshotting is also superior, especially for os drives

[late gate]

true, if you have enterprise drives

[glacial knot]

is LVM snapshotting COW?

[late gate]

tried cephfs for the vm, but that would kill my drives in a week haha

[prisma briar]

Never used it but I think so

[clear ferry]

Doesn't matter

[prisma briar]

I wouldn't run Ceph unless you have a decent number of drives to store on. It's speed is pretty related to how many disks there are.

[glacial knot]

why would cephfs kill your drives?

[late gate]

all the i/o from the syncing

[clear ferry]

Ceph makes no sense in homelab tbh, unless for testing

[prisma briar]

Ceph will tear through SSD life

[late gate]

no idea if glusterfs is better or not for that

[clear ferry]

For homelab ?no

Best regards Norwegian HPC deployer

[prisma briar]

Clustered filesystems in general add a lot of overhead and time spent to maintain.

[late gate]

is it any point running zfs on any proxmox drives if I dont really use snapshots etc?

[clear ferry]

Sure, bitrot, and no hardware raid dependency

Redundancy

[clear ferry]

But proxmox sucks already so

[prisma briar]

An opinion I see you regularly share but never back up

I agree proxmox sucks, but exi is licensed for the useful features

[glacial knot]

proxmox is ok. atx just hates everything that's not enterprise

Hey, I love debian

We've been using Alma instead of Rocky at work

[late gate]

I should use ubuntu since atx hate it

[prisma briar]

The whole Redhat ecosystem always seemed like such a scam.

[late gate]

I was 100% RHEL before. didnt touch debian or ubuntu

[prisma briar]

The OS is fine, and the free versions like CentOS and Rocky/Alma are decent to work with, but the licensing and support costs around official RHEL always seemed absurdly high.

Redhat always struck me as a company that wanted to profit off of FOSS and give as little as possible back.

[late gate]

I got a bit scared with the centos chaos

[prisma briar]

That was all really stupid.

I don't understand what that gained for redhat other than pushing people that much further from their brand.

[late gate]

I actually stopped using centos when that happened

[prisma briar]

Yea, we started a full-speed transition to Debian at work over it.

And are using alma in the meantime

[dusky plank]

I started using centos a month before its death got announced

it was fun while it lasted

[prisma briar]

Lol. We had just started deploying Centos 8 when that all went down.

We'd been on CentOS since 5

My dude, the weather this year. Just right

Snow but not cold, how much more can a man ask for

[clear ferry]

I've been talking a lot to EU datacenter companies too

Everyone is looking to the Nordics

Norway, Sweden, Finland is basically air cooled DCs 365 days a year

Everyone wants to move to the financially/politically/thermal/power stable region

[dusky plank]

I'll move to vietnam later this year

then to thailand

and then back home

[clear ferry]

Kids these days

Better learn to yell 555 right now

[glacial knot]

And on top of the free cooling, land up north is dirt cheap

[clear ferry]

Yes

[orchid rose]

land's not that cheap

but it's cold and very frozen

[clear ferry]

Green mountain is building a pretty cool datacenter now for tik tok, 6x 30MW buildings with options to expand to 6x 150MW

And Lefdal Mine is pretty cool using sea water to cool and using the heated sea water to breed fish

[dusky plank]

[dusky plank]

attach a microphone and you can run a birdnetpi on the same pi

this is my station https://app.birdweather.com/stations/721

as you can see, no pigeons anymore. the laser works 😅

[umbral cliff]

Ooh never heard of birdnetpi
Now very tempted by it

Though I would prefer to put a mic outaide where having a pi would not be ideal (unless I can get a wireless mic lol)

[forest edge]

run the wire through a window or something.. it's a mic cable.. they smoosh and not expensive to replace if you cut it or something

hell they make extension cords designed to be smashed by closedf windows and doors.. pretty sure a mic cable can handle it

I would say, who the hell listens to bird chirps? but my grandfather was all into that shit.. even had clocks that made bird chirps on the hour lol

[late gate]

I cant decide! I am torn between two switches: 1: 48 port 2.5G POE with 2x 10G sfp OR 2: 24 Port 10G (autoneg), NON POE, 2x 25G sfp

[dusky plank]

buy both. problem solved

[late gate]

good solution! haha

[last cedar]

@late gate i went with 48x1gb and 4x10gb, although that doesn't answer your question 🤣

[green pilot]

Somethings wrong. I can feel it. Just a feeling

[late gate]

@last cedar I went with the 48x 2,5 + the SFP and POE. The 10G was tempting, but then I have to buy everything in 10G. If I really want to run 10G on something I can rather run it on a sub-switch

[forest edge]

[static schooner]

Can't argue with the original Latin

[static schooner]

some of the differences are so small and weird. "different to" just sounds wrong compared to "different from"

[forest edge]

depends on sentence

[static schooner]

https://www.quora.com/Why-does-British-English-use-different-to-rather-than-the-American-version-different-from-or-different-than

cherrypicked:

What is the difference between “different from” and “different to” in British English? American English uses only “different from.”

“Different from” is traditionally the preferred form. However, “different to” (used most commonly in the UK) “different from” (used everywhere) and even the atrocious sounding “different than” (used most frequently in American English) all mean the same thing and - here’s the shocker - all three forms are accepted as correct by the Oxford Living Dictionary.

what good are dictionaries if they don't settle arguments? Pick a side, man

[forest edge]

one of the perks of being an american.. I don't think we are so picky about it as long as it makes sense in the surrounding sentence

we certainly go outside the box with our grammar and usage

[static schooner]

English is littered with intruder-alerts 🙂

Ha, caught you - not a native speaker!

[forest edge]

even before the interwebs every part of this country spoke a little differently

pop vs soda, bag vs sack etc

ever hear a NY'er say water?

I swear to god it sounds like they are saying wata

[static schooner]

"buggy" vs. "cart" shiver...

[forest edge]

all these differences kind of shattered any standard as long as it makes human understandable sense

at least we all agree that "color" is spelled "color"

For any Swedish ZigBee lovers

Hopefully they will bring a new rotary remote

[clear ferry]

No

It is already replaced

With a click button

[shadow prawn]

Thats bad

Really bad

The rotary one looks really nice and works great, the now one looks like a toy

[dusky plank]

today's test shows 9 pakets out of 8.000 missed over 500m, thats ok for me

the hue rotary switch is really nice, albeit $$$

[clever mortar]

The Terncy dial is nice, but doesn't like pairing to most CC2652 coordinators

[clear ferry]

I now have 9 symfonisk rotaries

Love them

[red rock]

What's the automation your the most proud of?

(as in a question to everyone)

[clever mortar]

All of them

[clear ferry]

Any that work on my first try

So 2%

[glacial knot]

My current favorite is my latest, which makes the roomba smarter and ensures that it's running daily, when I'm not home

[orchid rose]

The ones that were the most surprisingly useful for me were the bed sensor based automations. There are probably some that I'm more "proud" because of the complexity

[glacial knot]

bed sensor ?.?

[dusky plank]

Pressure sensors

[glacial knot]

I considered that. One under every leg, and then use that as make shift personal scale 😂

what sensors do you use?

I currently just use the contact sensor for my bedroom door. Which works reliable enough as measure of me (trying to) sleep

[dusky plank]

Sf15 are the most common afaik

I don‘t have them installed but it is planned

[glacial knot]

those would be under the mattress, not between the bed itself and the floor, right?

[orchid rose]

I'm using load cells like these. I use just one under the mattress with the weight spread around with a piece of wood on top of it

You can probably do some fancy stuff like weighing your SO with a more complicated system 😛

[forest edge]

no box spring under mattress?

[orchid rose]

Yes but it still works

It only has to read if there's something on the bed or not

[forest edge]

the added wood is what has me confused

wouldn't placing it under the support for the bed that touches the floor work?

[orchid rose]

It would but these are 50kg max so I would overwhelm them

also my vacuum would eat them

[forest edge]

ah

that be some vacuum to be able to suck it out from under the weight of the bed lol

[orchid rose]

I'm afraid it would rip the wires off

[glacial knot]

part of the reason I never looked into actually putting load cells under the bed
the roomba would mess with it

[orchid rose]

It works fine under the mattress but you need to spread the load out so it doesn't turn on the lights in the middle of the night when you switch sides. That was pain 😂

[glacial knot]

I'll probably just keep it on the door for now

[orchid rose]

That probably works fine too

[forest edge]

wonder if one of those flat thermal sensors would work better

[glacial knot]

what I really need is a slightly better metric of whether I'm getting up. Proably motion sensor in my living room
So it doesn't start up everything if I just get up to take a piss at 3am

[forest edge]

although I guess it would take time for body heat to heat up the mattress lol

[orchid rose]

If your schedule is fairly regular you can just use the time of day as a condition

[glacial knot]

nah, my schedule is pretty fucked

I have time of day as condition when it thinks I'm going to sleep. I think anything from 8pm to 6am 🤔
But I sometimes do get up at 3 or 4 am, and sometimes just go to the toilet and back

it's not too bad though. Just turns on some lights and music
And there's another automation that makes sure that the music isn't too loud between 10pm and 6am

Maybe I should have it in relation to how long I slept 🤔 I rarely sleep less than 5 hours.
I should try to collect some stats over a month

[orchid rose]

I have a input_boolean that switches on "bed occupied" if I go to sleep anywhere between 22-05 or something like that. Then automations that use that boolean as a condition to turn on "night lights" during night if I'm already in bed. If I get off the bed after 6AM it turns on the lights to some other scene

It does fail sometimes and if it's cold outside and I have the window open, the resistance of the cells changes enough so that it thinks the bed is occupied. WIP 🙂

[glacial knot]

I actually already ahve that data
I incresed default retention in the recorder to 30d D:

[orchid rose]

I should try that just for fun

[glacial knot]

anyways, looking at that it's regular-ish, but not regular

[orchid rose]

Think about the boolean switch approach. If you only go to bed once a day it should help

[glacial knot]

the going to bed works^^ it's whether I'm actually getting up that's iffy

[orchid rose]

Right, that does complicate things

Maybe with some sort of minimum sleep time you can make it work

[glacial knot]

I'll probably try that. Minimum of 5h sleep
though with a variant that if I go to bed after 1am and get up within 45min, I'm probably actually getting up

because then I probably ain't sleeping well that night either way...

[orchid rose]

I still haven't gotten myself a mmwave sensor. Those might prove useful in something like this

[clear ferry]

I have one, haven't had time to play with it

I actually sleep more after getting kids

[orchid rose]

They have like distance modifiers etc afaik

[clear ferry]

Before kids I slept 5-6h per night, now I sleep 7-8

[glacial knot]

one that actually gives an idea in a 2D plane would be interesting
because I could put that up on the ceiling in the main connector and use the information to figure out if I'm just going to the bathroom, or somewhere else

[orchid rose]

It's supposed to be the other way around 🤔

[glacial knot]

[clear ferry]

She sleeps 9h+ every night

[last cedar]

[green inlet]

Nice. Ok. I automated my mailbox. If mail is delivered and someone is home, google announces the delivery. If mail is delivered and no one is home, or mail is in the box without being picked up for an hour, a zwave light in the foyer changes colors.

So, I guess my mailbox is rgb also 😜

[dusky plank]

how do you detect a letter?

[green inlet]

Door sensor. With some timing and templates on when it is opened

[dusky plank]

I was thinking about adding a light sensor but this thing runs on battery so 💩

oh nice, that would be cool but neither zwave nor zigbee reach to my mailbox

thus i needed to make it with lora

Not with my mother. She’s constantly playing with it by a degree or two. Shes convinced it makes all the difference. “Ooh I’m feeling cold, I’ll set it to 69” (70 if she’s really cold), or I’m hot, I’ll set it to 68.

I’m not a post-menopausal woman, and I have no idea what that’s like, so I figure better to just let her play with the meter as she wishes and not speculate further if it’s psychosomatic or not.

[clever mortar]

I once worked in an office where there were constant arguments about the temperature. I solved the battle between the "too hot" and "too cold" by adjusting the dial so that it showed 2C warmer than it was.

The people who liked it cooler were happy because it was cooler, the people who wanted it warmer were happy because the thermostat showed 24C

It's kind of interesting from a mechanical and narrative perspective, much unlike most things I've seen in the genre. YMMV, of course.

How is esxi on passthrough of things like gpu vs proxmox? Wanted to try esxi instead of proxmox since I have a license so why not if it’s better

[clear ferry]

Same

PCI passthrough is pretty simple in terms of technology

I tried to use etcher, and getting no partition scheme, and wont boot. maybe its something to it. Also do vmware perform as well as say unraid on passing a GPU? I was thinking of using it on a machine with way newer Intel GPU, and pass that to a plex vm, and use one VM for the machine itself (Nvidia graphic card, monitor, keyboard and mouse), or do just unraid support running a vm on itself?

[clear ferry]

Why not just write the iso to a usb with Rufus?

Or mount it via oobm

No idea if etcher supports Isos, I've only used it with img

Host OS needs a GPU, but yes you can pass one through to a vm

That said, never needed a GPU in Plex

[late gate]

I dont have windows, so no rufus

I need gpu in plex as many of the people using it is on slower lines abroad

a lot of tanscoding

[static schooner]

Ah, the AleksFlix service

[forest edge]

aren't they capped at 3 streams at a time?

[late gate]

no, that are not capped

but its a bit my fault as so much is in 4K

I should setup two instances of sonarr and radarr so it download in HD and 4K

[forest edge]

aside from the like quadro gpu's I am pretty sure all nvidia cards cap the amount of streams at one time

newer cards like the 3k series may be more than 3 but everything below that is 3 and less

you might be doing more cpu transcoding then you think lol

[late gate]

yeah that might, and its on the nas now (synology), on the machine I was thinking its a I9 10k cpu, and will get the intel gpu for the initial transcoding. the nvidia I want to use as a regular computer with light gaming (like I did with unraid)

so when the cpu is used on the nas its extremely slow

[clear ferry]

Then unetbootin

[late gate]

I will try. I can do it over the remote desktop thing, but it was deadly slow to start the image

[clear ferry]

You mean vpro?

TFW home assistant discovers your neighbors are using govee bluetooth lights

I stole my neighbours ZigBee light a few years back

[brazen fable]

lul

[clear ferry]

And it's 28m from my house

[brazen fable]

yeah i have no idea how it's reaching but it is

this BT dongle must have some reach

it does have a big ass external antenna like the sonoff zigbee stick

meanwhile i can't get this motion sensor to repair even though it's sitting right under the bulb im trying to pair it to

OH MY

It appears a neighbor is going all in on the bluetooth stack

lmao

well that's kinda scary

one click and it imported into HA

It's a temp sensor

how to show forecast for next days, not hours.
I looked in several threads and did not find the information.

My Weather card only shows days afaik

[brazen fable]

Anyone ever tried the wifi blocking paint

Which in would help with zigbee/BT as well tbh

[plain silo]

Found out, it depends on the API provider, I was using "openweathermap", switched to "AccuWeather", wanted to test "PirateWeather" but the site doesn't seem to be working.

next house im definitely going to faraday cage the whole ass exterior

and just get cell repeaters for the signals i do want

2.4ghz pollution is nutty even in the burbs

before/after it rains i pick up wifi networks blocks away

[last cedar]

For prioritising your own signals, or health?

[brazen fable]

my own signals lmao

granted my neighbors probably HATE me

at least if they were knowledgeable they would

i have so much shit on 2.4ghz it's not funny

[last cedar]

I am fairly lucky, I only see 2 ssids on my phone, and they are both mine 🤣

[brazen fable]

and 900. and 5ghz. and 6ghz

and 60ghz

.>

my house alone has 5 SSIDs

[last cedar]

Ooofsters

[brazen fable]

although i trimmed it down to 3 aps

[last cedar]

I actually wonder why I can't see the 5ghz ssids.... did I turn those off? Lol can't remember

[brazen fable]

6ghz has been a life saver too

and i use 60ghz aps to pipe internet into the garage. Not cabling that shit

damn near full gigabit too. It's nice

[last cedar]

My idea is to have a guest one, iot and local network

That is nice! I am out of touch with 6 and 60Ghz...

[brazen fable]

i have guest which i turn on/off, IOT with internet, Smart wifi stuff without internet, my main, and 6ghz

the iot with internet is split 2.4ghz/5ghz

so 5 SSIDs

6 if guest is on

[last cedar]

Googling a little leads to be ask... wifi 6e?

[brazen fable]

yes

soon to be wifi 7

60ghz is for ptp stuff

https://store.ui.com/collections/operator-airfiber/products/af60-us

https://mikrotik.com/product/wireless_wire mikrotik sells these kits too which work good

more affordable

[last cedar]

I have a wifi 5 ap at the moment, a couple would do all I need to atm!

[brazen fable]

i use powerline adapters too for some of my cameras lol

it only puts out like 10-50 mbps but that's more than enough

[last cedar]

Yeah, lots of stuff doesn't need a lot of bandwidth

[brazen fable]

i have 3 zigbee networks and 2 z wave networks

so yeah channel management can be annoying

luckily none of the high performance stuff relies on 2.4

[last cedar]

Oh heck, now I understand the need for a fariday cage 🤣

[brazen fable]

indeed

it's only because of how limited zigbee controllers are

if i shove it on one it doesn't do what I want fast enough

with lighting effects

strobes etc

but with it split up and 3 different controllers issuing commands, its much better

I wonder how hard it would be to build a high performance zigbee controller with MIMO

[brazen fable]

anyone else hate the fact that they're trying to push IP/TCP connectivity through thread

when the explicit reason i went down the home assistant road in the first place is so my entire automation setup is not internet connected lol

[last cedar]

I mean, for a company like philips or whatever, there are lots of benefits in being able to say "we have a complete solution", so I get why they do it

But there shouldn't really be a need for a specific bridge or gateway, z2m is, and zigbee as a whole quite amazing in how flexible and open it is, sure it kinda sucks that it isn't a different frequency to 2.4 wifi thiugh

My (zigbee) network isn't meshing so well, everything seems to favor going straight to the coordinator, not that this is a bad thing really, but we have lag on the upper floor (sometimes a couple to 10 seconds) on zigbee commands going to lamps, which is annoyong, but not really thr topic for this channel

[forest edge]

sounds like typical racoon jerry rigging to me..

[stark rampart]

Did someone use https://homey.app/en-us/homey-pro/#pre-order vs https://hoobs.com/pro/#toggle-id-3 vs https://hubitat.com/products and can compare?

[static schooner]

Since this is a Home Assistant server, you're unlikely to get much help with those

[forest edge]

that hoobs thing looks like someone just forked HA and redesigned the front end a little

I totally understand the appeal for such devices even at their outrageous price tags cause so many people just don't want to deal with coding or super complex means of making something work as they believe it should

[brazen fable]

The ui looks like it was made for MSDOS

It's so butt ugly. Lol

[forest edge]

wut? I think you are looking at the experiments graphic

i do like the node red kind of interface for creating automations

[last cedar]

Not by design, i thought it would mesh itself if recwption was better to a repeter than coordinator, but unsure if 40+ devices should all be connecting directly to the coordinator even if the signal strength is ok

[forest edge]

I don't think zigbee networks are that advanced. like wifi how it will hold onto a connection from a node even when that signal becomes shitty and there is another closer node available.

I love the 4th comment to that clip.. agree completely

[last cedar]

@forest edge just looking, people in the house use 2.4Ghz headsets and mice, it is probably interference from that

[forest edge]

you running a cyber cafe or something?

just how many headsets/mice could you possibly have going lol

unless your router is wearing a headset or something, I just don't think interference from such devices is that impacting.. but then I guess if you order from aliexpress like some i could see quality changing the tide

[last cedar]

There are 3 mice and 3 headsets, I have a boat load of those ble temp/ humidity sensors with displays, I have made a fairly dirty 2.4Ghz band I think 🤣

Unsure what channel the wifi is on, as well

[forest edge]

easy way to find out.. turn that shit off and see what happens lol

[last cedar]

Mmm, exactly, when I think about it, it is certain times of day when it happens, but not every day, so I need to pay more attention to what is on/ off at the time

[glacial knot]

Depends on your coordinator. Some have limits of how many devices they'll handle with direct connection

[forest edge]

probably a microwave with a racoon in it

[glacial knot]

though so far I get the full K-graph with my router capable ones, and the a bunch of attached leafs with the broken implementation of battery powered aqara ones

[last cedar]

A zzh!

[glacial knot]

you could also log (and graph) the LQI for the links you are worried about and check whether you find a correlation of it and your hang/lag

you may need to have some automation running that forces devices to send something to get LQI readouts updated though

[forest edge]

zigbee routers here are pretty much limited to just smart plugs.. rather annoying

[clear ferry]

Lqi is just wet finger in the air at best

[dusky plank]

bing is much more fun to search linux iso's

[clear ferry]

Or suicide tips

[dusky plank]

[glacial knot]

absolute value is probably trash, but trend should be correct

though it's often not updated when there's radio silence, which makes it untrustable without a steady stream of communication
