Send me some ❤️
I currently have 24x8TB + 4x10TB + 16 2TB ssds + 8 600GB in use, plus 4x6TB and 4x2TB not in use
I had like 70TB at my peak but I've been trimming down over the years because it's pointless and kind of expensive to maintain that.
I quit storing linux ISOs
I have quite a large lab, plus a lot of Linux isos, and a software archive of software i occasionally need
I have access to tons of hw through work for lab work
I used to have a HA cluster set up here with redundant storage at home
Can't be bothered running my lab at work, i have access to 30000 servers and storage devices, but I prefer working locally and not having to reserve hardware
My department has like 10-15 servers we can do whatever with, I haven't ever had any issues finding a spare box to test on.
And a couple Openstack clusters
No issues finding it, still need to connect to VPN, and use jump server
I keep my work laptop on VPN all the time anyways
Ain't nobody got time for that jibba jabba
My work laptop doesn't even run corporate image 🫣
Yea, my department opted out of the corporate images
I went with Fedora on mine.
All of our corporate images were Windows 10.
I connect to VPN maybe once a month to find some obscure hpux guide
this is why I had 4 servers in a rack on my desk
because I told the boss your fucking lackeys keep fucking up my dev env
LMFAO
A good chunk of my job is operational management of servers so I'm basically always connected to our jump server and on VPN.
I create labs for my colleagues in my homelab, great fun
I kept the corp image in a VM on my corp laptop
they never knew the difference anyway
I ran my work OS in a VM on my desktop for a while. I actually got permission for it when I asked.
Though that was later rescinded.
I was one of the most senior engineers, the only "more senior" were in position and pay only
My managers just say lallalalalallala whenever I say I run linux
well considering all the servers I ran were linux or running on linux hosts, I told them making me run windows is counterproductive
so the managers complained, the boss basically said let him do what he wants cuz he will only find ways around you
I ran Windows for a little bit in my current position because my dock refused to work under Linux but I switched over to Fedora when I got a new laptop with thunderbolt.
Never had docking issues on Linux, since 2014 at least
Honestly I didn't really notice a difference in productivity. I don't do anything local on my machine anyways, it's basically a web browser and ssh client.
It was a thinkpad dock on a T460. I'd lose all video from it under Linux.
and he was a partner LMFAO
ok apparently one message didnt go thru, it was "my contract stated I didn't report to any managers, only the CTO"
so the managers HATED me
I was with the company 10+ years before any of the managers.... so I predated their departments even
Lmfao besides you don't but I love to be hated
I've never had hostile coworkers, just useless and submissive
See they thought I should be subordinate
However I have other ideas
So they weren't coworkers in my eyes, just annoyances that worked nearby
My fellow engineers were coworkers
My secretary was my coworker
🤣😂
You sound insufferable to work with.
I'm here to do my job tho, not campaign in politics
I told them they could always change my contract
which the owner quickly dismissed
lmfao
Everything you've described makes this sound like a shitshow from every party.
well I made the company 1.2+ million a year for 17 years
managers cost money, not make money
Lol, okay bud.
I mean hey, at the end of the day it matters not
because my moccasins are not at the foot of your bed
You sound like a 12 year old who is trying to pretend he knows what an office looks like.
well thank you
I'm not quite sure why you're upset about my life experience but, hey whatever makes you happy
I'm not upset by it, I'm just commenting on how absurd this all sounds.
It would sound absurd to the American office worker 
Also, field engineers that only need dispatching don't want to be in their own office anyway
I want to be in other peoples offices billing, not in mine arguing
I just prefer sitting in my garage arguing with customers
I don't deal with customers. It's great.
Been almost 5 years since I took a customer call.
I deal with them enough to make them give me access to the system
So I can fix the stuff they broke
Normally my customers are IT departments that can't figure out their butthole from their elbow
😂
Sounds about right
Almost my entire company is IT to one level or another.
internal customers are the worst.
because mostly they should know better.
half my job was fixing things other people thought they knew how to do
internally that is
I guess my internal customers would be the product managers and the systems administration team under my department.
But our systems administration team is pretty good about solving small problems on their own.
Thankfully I don't have any of those
I have a good working relationship with basically all my managers. My boss has been quick to intervene the few times I've got stupid requests in, too.
well my boss intervened all the time with mine but like I said he was an owner
I'm on a first name basis with 5 levels of management above me, but they only contact me if it is urgent, except my direct manager once a month
I can only think of one manager I work with that asks me to drop everything and doesn't really seem to understand I don't work solely under him. I generally don't.
There's only two positions between me and the owner of my company. I used to be coworkers with one of them.
there was 1 degree of seperation from me and the owners
one of the owners was the CTO, and he hoped I'd replace him
when he started the company it was only me and him. that's it.
hence why I didn't report to any managers
I was 10 when my company was founded.
I was ... 19 I think
yup 19
went from 2 engineers to 17
the support staff and managers were added later LOL
I was working random jobs and going to college when I was 19. Dropped out, ended up overseeing a few fast food joints, then finally decided to get back into IT when I was 26.
yeah I dropped out of college at 18
We don't graduate HS until 18 here
oh, well they changed it here too now
I was -63
but I turned 17 just before graduation
I never bothered with college, i did one year prep and said fuck it
I would have been just turning 16 but I was held back a year
From what I can tell college is a scam for a good chunk of IT.
yup
I spent so long as a kid trying to get my parents to see that, but nooo, I had to go to college. I should have just ignored them and gone straight to work.
a cisco cert would command more salary than a bachelors LOL
Even when I was working at fast food places I was making pretty decent money, it was just shit work with shit people.
I got an MCSA cert when I was in highschool
I did one year, and it was such a joke... I was accepted into the advanced classes so I skipped all the prep stuff
MCP is for passing any cert, yea
I also got some client support certification for Windows Vista with the same tests I used for my MCSA.
laughs in holding 21 certs
The MCSA itself was four tests
Atx I have about 21 certs in Avaya alone LMFAO
we still call MCSE must consult someone educated here
Other than the MCSA I have an A+ because my school paid for it.
yeah I got A+ and network+ and a couple more COMPTIA
needed to do them for my cisco stuff
I also still have Ericsson certs Atx
Yikes
so don't yuck at the Avaya, my first PBXs were Ericsson
Honestly the questions asked on the tests for the MCSA/MCSE (MCSA was 4 tests, MCSE was 6 I think but all from the same group) were beginner basic-level stuff that only indicates someone has the minimum level of knowledge to start training into a useful admin.
I don't remember them getting into LDAP at all beyond "Here's the GUI to control your objects and reset passwords"
atx this better not be a penis pic in my DM
LLDP is fun, LDAP is easy
Did they add them to MCSA?
For the 2003 at least
I remember most of the stuff I did was focused on DNS and client administration
Hmm, maybe you took different tests than me. Mine is on 2003 too.
Hey, windows 2008 mcsa still had questions about dial back, because murica Internet is broken
I got mine like right before Server 08 came out
08 was when they tried that convoluted mcitp cert system
I got my A+ in 2010, it still had a couple questions about dumb terminals on it.
I got mine in like 04/05 and there was still token ring and ISA
It counted as credit towards a class and my school paid for it.
lmfao same I took A+ and N+ back to back no studying
I think the only test I studied for was the DNS test for my MCSA. I didn't study at all for my A+.
Like "what command does ping other machines?"
A ping
B netstat
C cmd
it's C right?
I'm confident I could pass Linux+, Security+, and Network+ if I wanted to waste a few hundred dollars and a couple days.
Only certification I've ever studied for was CKA, and i only bothered doing half the course
cmd /c "ping 1.2.3.4"
Did not study for ccna, passed it,.did not study for 400-701, failed it
Oh god, the worst thing I've had to do so far in IT was manage a PBX.
the avaya stuff I did half asleep cuz I'd do those before work
that's what I've done for 20+ years
high availability PBXs
I haven't touched a PBX since 2004, and thankfully most of Norway moved to VoIP in 2006
I inherited an Asterisk server at my current job and had to manage it for ~1 year before I moved to another position
We've since moved to a cloud provider
ATX yeah but voip still needs a PBX
Sure, but when you say pbx, i think of the physical box nonsense
That is long since retired
well the form factor has changed, the functionality has not
Just like FM, we shipped all our FM antennas to africa
I managed a SIP/DAHDI call router
still need SBCs etc
And now we are digging up all copper from the ground
I used to interface asterisk boxes into PBXs that had shitty conference servers for example, when I wasn't designing the PBX itself
you don't know pain until you know h.323
I havent seen an office environment with desk phones since 2014 probably, except for military sites
I still have a FreePBX box set up at home I have HA set to call out through if there's an alarm
I have cisco phones in every room
I work in telecoms so I see a few :P
Never used that one but I've learned a ton about the small variances different WAV files can have.
I actually have a physical Teams handset on my desk right now!
That is so 2010
Are you too in America?
you could integrate that now for voice assistant
We had Cisco spa 303's on all of our desks at work up until Covid hit.
Nope, UK! I don't really use it much honestly, but it's fun
CCITT ulaw
I would have to make sure all my prompts were in that format
Brexit hit hard
Voip is not third world! :P
I still need to play with those models.
Getting so close to having a fully self-hosted AI assistant.
I set up Whisper (voice recognition AI model) and tried forwarding it to a few llama-derived models with a custom prompt to make it output commands I could look for and have HA execute. I was having moderate success with it but decided I was just going to wait for a polished solution to come out.
I kept having it work fine with like 5 lights but when I gave it all of my lights it'd get confused and stop being able to report their state correctly or would put incorrect entity names in commands.
Is there anyone aware of at project like AI-on-the-edge-device, that runs on a Raspberry pi? 🤔
You'll probably have better luck asking in one of the other channels.
Though esp32's are also rather easy to work with and cheaper than an RPi.
Yeah, indeed. I just happen to have a stack of RPI's and a camera on hand 😎
I've been phasing all my RPis out for ESP32/ESP8266s. Other than one RPi I have set up to emulate an MT-32 I've replaced them all.
I'm using the esp's in many places also, maybe i should just be looking for a ESP32-cam instead.
what is with all this sensible conversation in here
get off my grass, dang kids and quit making all that noise
can i run HA on a rpi zero w?
Can? Yes. Should? Probably not.
It's going to suck for anything beyond a really basic setup.
not enough ram to do anything with it really
just "no, can't"
figured i'd ask, they work for certain 3d printing applications
don't think it's a flat no. gotta be a way to make it atleast boot up lol
Yea. there's info on how to do it online and forum posts by people doing it

i'll report back when I put HA on it 😆
glhf
there's no point saying that it's possible when you know that it'll blow up
would have to be very limited specific use case
I'm all about actually useful advice
the real use case for me is freeing up a pi4 8gb
A Pi Zero W is really really weak compared to a pi 4
i get that, but it will run klipper/fluidd, which is what my 4 is doing
well the rpi zero w2 is an rpi 3 with less ram
ops didn't mean to reply to that
He posted a link to the 1st gen zero which is based on the first raspberry pi
yea i know. just saying
Which was meant to be a weak low-cost device in 2014.
And hasn't aged particularly gracefully.
pretty cool that it can run a 3d printer and web interface
i keep mentioning in here the need for a "lite" version of haos just for the zero's
I would use it
Mine couldn't run octoprint. Constant blobs everywhere from it pausing.
yeah octoprint is trash
It's still not exactly a demanding application.
i run octoprint on a rpi 2 lol
klipper with the fluidd interface is great on a zero w
Anyways, Home Assistant is going to be heavier than that.
but my pi4 8gb should run it fine?
The pi4 is a lot nicer than the zero w
Yea, the pi4 will run it fine
pi4 = 13.5 gflops, pi zero w = 0.247 gflops -- https://web.eece.maine.edu/~vweaver/group/green_machines.html
I know flops aren't everything but that's a massive jump in performance.
you planning to use the zero or the rpi4 for kilpper?
zero for klipper rpi4 for haos
Lol at the apple 2, 1.33E-7 GFLOPS
i thought the zero would be too slow for that since klipper is basically sending each instruction
you're too slow for that
its not, i have one running rn
you just now come back from loading my image?
have you tried printing something big and complex with it?
yes
ah be damn
if he hasn't I can send him something that is big and complex
I haven't tried kipper but reading about it just made it sound like the zero would choke out
and fluidd offloads all the work on the browser
and of course they always recommend the rpi4 for that like everything else
zero is fine, 1 rpi4 could probably run 100 printers
what would he do with a clone of your forehead?
It should just be reading text from an sd card and spitting it out a serial (or serial over usb) connection
well it's a little more than that
print it's magnificence
klipper offloads all the "thinking" tasks to the rpi and just produces timed move commands for the steppers
usb is basically necessary for the data rate
pffftttttt
That sounds horribly inefficient.
115k should be enough for anything
640k of RAM is enough for anyone!
i think it might have to do with noise/shielding
its been a while since i've read the docs
idk about every printer but the ones I've interacted with all just used an onboard USB -> Serial adapter anyways.
shielded RS232 cables predate the internet
i dunno, i'm a good boy and followed the directions
kilpper just replaces the marlin on the printer. the idea is the extra cpu and ram help make print for efficient and reliable. also speed has to do with with the instruction to the stepper motors but i think that issue was resolves in the last 2 years or so
I always assumed klipper still ran on gcode or something similar
it does, your just moving the os from the onboard board to the external rpi etc
and sending data via the usb
That just sounds like more points of failure, tbh.
you still install the bridge on the onboard tho
not at all, the software runs on the pi and has a very small client on the printer hardware
it allows for PLUGINS!
and its faster
has to do with the extra ram on the rpi
I've never wanted my printer to do anything Marlin couldn't do.
everyone i know who switched to klipper loves it i just hadn't done it
i have a printer that can do a shitty benchy in around 12 minutes
following the speedboat rules
i don't think marlin could handle that
I have an Ender 3 with an SKR 3 in it.
I mostly replaced the stock board for quieter motors. That stock board was so obnoxious.
i can absolutely recommend this mod: https://github.com/VoronDesign/VoronUsers/tree/master/printer_mods/Gizzle/ender-3_(pro)_switchwire
I have dual z rods on mine and a direct drive for the extruder
this is way better than z rods, i took those off 😉
And the bigtreetech touchscreen for it, can't remember the model number
maybe it's the plugins for klipper that make the zero a bad choice
I had a lot of issues with one z rod, but two has been pretty solid so far.
My e3 looks like someone barfed wires all over it, but it prints just fine so I don't really care.
belts make it waaaaay better
I couldn't get one rod to work reliably after the direct drive mod was installed
Too heavy I assume
I changed the board on mine but that was as far as it went
watched a dude print one of those starwars helmets on a pure stock ender 3 and the thing came out pristine
I only got the direct drive for printing TPU, and I only got the second Z axis for the direct drive.
It tends to bunch up and clog in long bowden tubes
add some grease lol
bought mine to make petg parts. don't think i'll be venturing down any other paths
sure as hell not messing with abs
I tried a spool of ABS, hated it.
abs is tameable
a cardboard box goes a long way
and abs juice will make it absolutely stick the whole print
I have an enclosure for mine. a fire retardant tent basically.
abs juice (abs dissolved in acetone) is the only way i've found to get the entirety of every part to stay down
I've done PVA, PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU/TPE on my Ender 3. I got there in the end with all of them but found ABS to be not worth it and PETG to be mildly more difficult than the rest.
and i run like up to 30% cooling fan
abs is worth it if you print printer parts, the heat resistance is key
Heh, I replaced my cooling fan with a pointed blower fan from a projector. If I run it above about 40% the printer thinks it's hitting a thermal runaway and powers down.
i hit the ground running with petg then tried pla and was like wtf.. didn't have to mess with nothing lol
pla is crazy easy to print with but wouldn't use it for anything other than a throw away figurine or something
i print mostly guns, i go through a lot of 3dfuel pla pro
like toy guns?
they kinda look like toys
cause noway pla could handle those actual 3d printed ones
the boom happens in metal
still the vibration would make the layers seperate imo lol
1000 rounds out of an ar15 lower
then what? it disintegrates?
eventually they break, pla seems to age and weaken
considering just leaving it on the desk would cause it to fall apart after a few months i have no doubt
why would you use pla?
because its cheap, easy to print, and good enough
I've seen those 3d printed guns in videos. mostly hand guns and a few rifles. i just assumed those were all abs
petg shifts over time, abs works if you can keep it on the plate, glass fiber is sometimes used
nylon is the real answer, but most people aren't setup for it
the orca™️ available for download today!
i saw someone print a carbon fiber part for some industrial thing. i bet that would be a good choice
the whole concept of 3d printed guns is nuts
carbon fiber nylon is the answer
reminds me of those movies where a dude made a pistol out of clear acrylic and snuck it past metal detectors to assassinate someone
that movie got a stupid law passed
lol
i'm in a group that designs 3d printed guns and releases the designs, we just released a 3dp90, almost no "gun parts" are used: a barrel and an ar15 trigger group
two things.. like i said the concept is nuts, and I am not sure I would trust the reliability of the weapon not somehow breaking and injuring myself lol
its definitely important to understand the function, failure modes, and risks involved
has anyone died from it? not something i regularly look up
not that i'm aware of and most designs are generally safe with enough metal containing the explosion
commercial glocks are just glass fiber reinforced nylon
yea but that's just the expansion. only plastic is containing the kickback
I wouldn't try and fire one lol
although a plastic dillinger would be kind of neat
the group i'm in released a 37mm "signal device"
the lunchbox sidearm lol
our signal device uses a chain link fence post for a barrel and fires 37mm flares
lol
it has a printed breach face, but the flares are low pressure so its fine
I've ordered a few wind chimes myself
are ghost guns a thing in the bahamas?
they're a thing everywhere
I'm sorry your message could not be delivered.
Who said anything about guns?
I enjoy wind chimes
they sound so peaceful
yea sounds about right. how could they even download the gcode to print one? lol
Yeah we can't download anything
asking him to pull up a website is a no go lol
I would "maybe" consider firing the harlot. 22 is nothing but anything bigger I would hard pass
You clearly have never made a bicycle gooseneck into a windchime
don't you just hang shells from a string and let them clank?
those 3d printed? they don't look it
wait, you actually hung that outside?
no thats from maf-arms website
oh lol
and they say string is customer provided
Sonoma you have some reading to do as to what a wind chime really is
Fishing line is better
Hurricane proof
Safetythird you think he figured it out yet?
apparently i not current on your slang
Sonoma may be on high speed internet but his brain is on dial up
My brain is somewhere between the internet backbone and ARPAnet
oh yea i'm not really a big gun person. I have a bunch that's been passed down to me that I keep cleaned and ready for the worst case but aside from that I really don't mess with them or even look them up
Works, should prolly upgrade, but would break half the world if it did
Edge you mean
no, I mean dialup... edge is considered broadband
is it weird if i installed edge if i run linux?
lol i don't use it, but i wanted to try the bing ai
disgusting
it asked me if i wanted to apologize for offending it
it's just using some neutered version of chatgpt
whoa man you can't say that man
what? penis?
it's a gender neutral version
you'll offend it, ask me how i know
googles bard is compelling
i did the fridge test, submitted a pic of my fridge
it spit out a list of over 20 meals i could make
I really need to trim my grapvine or I won't have any grapes this year
you should probably get a second job or something to pay for better internet first

dammit
With the news I got today, internet is the last thing on my mind homie
i dare not ask, but almost made a joke about gangs
Oh you're not far off
In any event
Sent you a penis pic in dm
Well room went really quiet there...
Lmfao
How's it working out?
I really need to clean out this box of SFPs
i need to get me a bbq daddy https://smileshop.scrubdaddy.com/product/bbq-daddy/
hey man no judgement here, you get whatever daddy you like
Sonoma prefers raccoon pics via dm

Omg, adorable!!!
I have a pool, feels like I just drastically increased the chances of a raccoon visit
when i was a kid they would pop the vinyl wading pool my mom would set up
JA
this application offers pretty cool settings for chinese cams
I use "general bate cms" from here:
https://www.sti.de/download/
you can even disable "cloud features"
oh no you can't, saving fails for this particular one
No need to disable cloud features if you just block them outgoing 
Yes sir, but my iot vlan doesn‘t know about internet anyways
this is the way.
Crazy... when will it link up with HA?

2024, year of the brain
That's awefully optimistic that all the haos users have brains
im pretty sure I have a brain
At least use my given name, zerofilled array
no.

@last cedar this could be us: https://vid.pr0gramm.com/2023/05/27/4c938a8553927531.mp4
You mean... you have snacks?!
Yes!
why are they so adorable...
looks like we got a rodent issue, i will grab my gun
@last cedar , dis you?
nothing like a southren girl
I'm sure they are nothing like southern girls tho
wouldn't expect you to know anything about it you beach dweller
at least I can spell southern
😉
besides, I'm more south than your south
so I'm southernerer
so the only time of year the crabs catch bahamars instead of the bahamars catching crabs
bruh that's so silly
crabs are basically extinct you realize right?
you can get sea crabs year round, but the large land crabs you gotta wait till the rains flood them out of their dens
you guys catch horseshoe crabs?
nah I mean the kind that catch humans 😉
yea I think what I said went right over your head lol
and southren refers to ren and stimpy.. the forward jaw showing lots of upper teeth
just fyi
oh never watched it much
not surprised was only like 5 seasons.
You stupid
@fathom sparrow Bryan 
And neither of you know southern 😉
Ha….southern is more than grits and cornbread
I was not born in the south but I have lived here most of my life
Well considering Bahamians moved from The Bahamas to the south US if you do some research you'd know that they brought culture with them to the south
Sonoma doesn’t even know how to spell grits
Ha, Miami is not the south
It's not the south no it was an example
Almost all of Coconut Grove was built by Bahamians who immigrated
What is Gullah/geechee
Tonites homework
Gullah people live in the Carolinas but Georgia as well
I live in the Carolina’s and have no idea what the Gullah are
Then I dunno what to tell you, but this islander knows
Some of my family is from South Carolina
🤷♂️
Ok, then you are more southern than Sonoma 😜. But I thought I read somewhere you have been in the Bahamas for a large portion of your life.
I have but I have also lived in 7 countries and been to about 25 more
Ok, we’ll, my ancestors were from Ireland, I have been to Ireland, I consider my self Irish, but I am truly not. That is my point.
Off to watch love island 🤣
disgusting
Eh…train wreck tv. I enjoy it. You have to look at it as a comedy instead or anything else
It’s mindless
Which is nice
just cause your a redneck doesn't make you an expert on the south
it's the inbreeding. tarnishes true southerners name
think that just cause they know how to cook grits and sleep with one's sister they somehow wrote the book lol
I can cook grits at least 3 ways
I can throw grits in the trash several different ways
I'm eating soup right now, but I could go for some grits in the morning actually
I wonder if there's any avocados on the tree

seeing this pic reminds me that my cats can already open doors on their own
Got 1 that can open door from the inside by jumping up at the handle, but can't open by standing above and pressing down, and another that can do the opposite
Got the makings of an elite heist crew
yea see.. who needs a stinking racoon when you got better animals around
ocean's raccoon
...
I have 3 that can open doors, one is big enough to just reach the handle, one jumps and grabs it, and the other just hits the door so hard it flies open
lever handles on cardboard doors huh
Bahama houses have doors? Let alone handles?
Well yeah the on they open the most is a lever door, but they can open knob handles too, just only one of them can
No, we live in grass skirts on the beach under fallen trees
You caught me
There was a lady reporter on Twitter that made the mistake of 'reporting' on The Bahamas without actually coming here.
Lol, that last one must be a right chonker
She is indeed. She is rounder than the other 2 combined.
🤣
I don't understand it either, she eats the same as the other 2
The other girl is slender as hell, the boy is like a body builder yuuuge
But lean
Is she steralised?
Apparently they can get either more appetite/ worse metabolism after they are steralised, not sure on the exact details though
she get island cursed or something?
Well she deactivated her twitter for a long while lmfao
We have a "moderately large" cat, and 4 normal girls, all steralised, so ymmv
Oh I know the deal with that
It's just weird cuz she's the chonkiest cat I've ever had for her size
lol sterilized. what a horrible way to put it
I had chunkier but they were much bigger
Neutered better?
Lol, what would you call it?
Yeeterused?
that what we use, i've never heard someone say sterilized lol
Spay is for females neuter is for boys
Well sterilized covers both
Yeah, spay, that sounds more like it
It is called steralised in Swedish, and because I only lived in England for 22 years before moving, I forgot the English word 🤣
Only
it's a cat. not a baby bottle
22 years is not enough to learn to speak English
It's also a different meaning of the same word
See, I'm still teaching Sonoma English
like i said
He speaks muurican
I understand muurican but do not speak it
I mean for boy cats it's really castration
If we getting technical
It should be called "catstration" to be fair
i can only work with the material given
limited bw means you get the first one that loads, maybe not the best one
but it's what you're gonna git dammit
I think I'm on day 5 of my plex library scanning
been running my ad100 on a 16v 10va transformer for like the past 2 or so years but I think the whole age = increased power usage thing is starting to catch up to the unit
lol for all the spelling nerds in this channel https://youtube.com/shorts/3ipFdRfFvK4?feature=share
A woman walked into a Petco carrying a young raccoon and wanted to get its nails trimmed, Maine wildlife officials said.
While the raccoon was in the store, several customers kissed the juvenile creature and “handled” it the afternoon of May 23 in Auburn, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.
A Petco manager asked the woman to leave with the raccoon, as “Petco does not trim raccoon nails,” wildlife officials said in a May 25 news release.
It starts out sounding like a joke...
😂🤣😂😂
Racoon, skunk and fox walk into a bar; Bartender asks, would you like hot chocolate with that cream?
I am blacklisting Petco now, thanks for the info
I guess they don't take doormats as payment either
Is it a well?
Looks nice!
If it is a well, can you divulge details of how you are measuring depth? And yes I know that sounds slightly erotic if you have a dirty mind
I'm going to guess 'cistern'
Measuring would probably still work?
Unless it is a poo sausage counter ai
You never know
thats correct
I measure it with a "ultrasonic sensor"
<only the punchline>
It's cold...and deep
Ok, your guys are crazy 😛
Published it, please be careful 😛
Its my first thing what i coded for HA.
hass means hate in german
I know
I hate water levels
Do you have a link to it?
Looking at options for our well
I was thinking of using a float switch for my cistern
so if it goes below a certain level, it turns on the well pumps to pull some up
just add two contacts and when the water level drops below them it breaks the connection thus triggering whatever you want to happen. like those flood detectors but in reverse
but then I don't get to make a fun rheostat with a float actuator
f moving parts
or have to have electricity in the water lol
i mean you could use a single AA
meh
I already need some flood detectors for the ground in there incase a pipe bursts/breaks
i might just use one of my rpi's
and have few sensors on one device
you could use the pi too the 3v gpio would work lol
i've literally seen people just dangle two wires at same length that just dangle in the water. i personally wouldn't do that. i would attach them to the side of the wall but still. stupid simple
that way I could have a level sensor, a flood sensor and a motion sensor for the light on the cistern
I like Trane AC units but holy hell they make the outside compressor unit a pain to access the coils for cleaning
Selfmade 😮
This works fine for me
I think its range goes to 4-8m or so
yes 4meters
It's fine for my underground water tank
Yea, put the IC in deep sleep, and scan every minute
For Security Reasons i have a floating sensor which triggers an Horn, because i have no overflow
Very nice!
me, with 3 cats
Seems about right
My cat will sometimes do that when I'm in bed
We have a cat that always sits on my lap now, very annoying 🤣 but I love her to bits
Its escalating 😉
Is beta coming?
Wed
Yuck beta
Can somebody helps me out with CSS in custom cards?
Yea i already wrote in #devs_frontend-archived 😛
thank you mate

Time for one last beer in norway, skal!
That means you will never come back
I have no idea why, but this reminds of Final Fantasy Spirits Within somehow...
I wanna punch a hole in my ceiling (ranch-style house) to run cat5 to an AP. What's the best way to go about it?
well usually people use a drill bit or hole saw depending
you mean temp holes to fish the line through the rafters?
It's a finished bedroom ceiling, but unfinished attic with direct access to the back of the drywall. It's more of a, do I just drill a hole in the drywall or should I "finish" or "seal" it somehow?
oh so you literally want the cat to be poking through the ceiling
you just drill a hole slightly smaller than the cable and stick it through. maybe add some chalking around it but nothing fancy
well, the AP itself will be covering up the hole. But I'm wondering about thermals and whether I should be worried about it being an ingress vector for unwanted whatevers
that's what the chalking is for
they do make grommets for that but realistically they add nothing but an appearance to something your covering up anyways
pro's drill holes then literally stuff as much silicone or latex chalking in said hole to come out both sides.. for reference lol
Why not just stick the AP in the attic like a sane person?
to pass rg6 through an exterior wall to the outside I added a trailer connector just to make it look better also give it a breaking off point should someone clip the line but it was extra work for nothing really
My attic is fully exposed to the elements
caulking
That's called an exterior wall, not an attic 🤔
i dunno why it's changing it to chalking but i have given up mostly
well, mostly. The insulation is blown-in sitting directly on top of the ground floor ceiling, so I can't put it above the ceiling, it'll burn itself out
but if I mount it to the rafters, it's exposed to higher-than-outside temperatures due to dark roof and lack of insulation
and it's not an outdoor AP
You Americans and your weird buildings
yea putting an ap in the attic that isn't climate controled is a bad idea
hell my attic easily hits 150-170 degrees during summer
I've had servers, swithches and access points in attics in 4 houses the last 20 years
he also lives in the arctic tundra
oh, yeah, the AP will also be subjected to 0F or lower at times
I think we hit -25F (-31C) last time the polar vortex came into town
My attic is around -7c - +40c year round, with -35c - +35c outdoor temperature
I haven't been tracking temperatures in my attic, but I expect it to average 15-20F above outdoor temperature
My parents attic stays warmer than that, but they only get -12c in winter
Used to have 4 servers, 3 switches and two access points in their attic
so anything that goes up there needs to tolerate ambient temperatures in excess of 120F (~49C)
Normal enterprise access points from the last 15 years tolerate -40f to +160f
I just checked the last three ones I've had
I wanted to put a PoE switch up there, but the more I reflect on it I think it's just not worth avoiding the labor of running a few dozen cables through a conveniently placed closet
Switches can be less tolerant, the switch i have does 32f - 113f
But it worked fine in -7c
Only system I've ever had that shutdown from 0c was my old C3000 bladesystem
Is that storage or operating?
Operating
oh, right, humidity. We break 90% on the regular. Absolutely anything that's in the attic needs to be damp rated
15-95% humidity for my Poe switch
I still think it's not worth it
Raccoons have similar operating temperatures
@forest edge look outside your window
screams uninteligibly
drop ceiling installed after the devices. seen this a few times lol
lmfao let me tell you how they would be hidden in the ceiling if that were here

They put up a new drop ceiling.... right under the other one
So difficult to make a call and say "hey, can you move some stuff" 🤣
that's not my job
it's like painters who paint over switches and plugs
easy to tape off, easier to take off, but paint over them they shall
what? why? that makes no sense to me. as in the original drop ceiling is still in place? or they simply moved it down?
I think the old one was removed, put drywall up on the ceiling (sound deadening maybe?) And then new tiles, lower than the original
I wasn't really surpised, seen too much dodgy shit in my time
drywall as a sound barrier? sounds like more work than it's worth lol
Not sure why they would do it otherwise
drop ceilings are actually better sound barriers than drywall
or they can be, i should say. they make tiles just for it
it's always good to see installers in other countries are just as inept as the ones we have here
its universal, anyone who knows actually how to do things is expensive
so the cheaper options are usually limited in their capacity... for thinking
eventually you'll need to crawl around the room
shucks I have to duck in most doorways
Is this because you are actually a duck?
yes, I'm Donald's tall island cousin with slightly better enunciation
Nah, best head hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML20DS6jvgg
yea but that was intentional
Details details 
I read an interview with that guy, who said he was having some...intestinal issues... that day and was just happy to get the scene shot, didn't think his mistake was in frame
I think i remember reading something about that. was also something they couldn't reshoot too if I remember right.. maybe cause of that guys intestinal issues
I asked my gray hair if I should go back to the office and it said GTFO
One day a month is enough, preferably every two months
DID YOU APPLY FOR SOME NEW JOBS YET MITCHELLE
Using home assistant for evil, made 5 different recordings of myself saying "Ben", and made a script which plays one at random from one of the wall tablets and then waits a random amount of time between 1-2 minutes, set it running when my lodger, Ben came home. First he heard it and was confused, then he started looking around thinking someone was in the house, then his girlfriend was telling him she didn't hear it (she was in on the joke), eventually he looked at my laptop screen and figured it out 😂
when molding is an after thought
So glad I don't deal with that crap at my place
My bosses were all about going WFH. Also my bosses aren't worthless, they definitely handle a bunch of crap I don't want to handle.
im getting flashbacks to being a waiter in college 😦
lol why
Well, I would like to use the Shopping List integration with it. My local grocery store has bad to no cellular coverage
mine does too
and I often forget stuff my GF put on the Shopping list and the other way arround
I plan to have a wall mounted Ubiquity Unifi connect POE Display in my kitchen to quicky add stuff to the List and then add an ikea Shortcut Button to the printer to print it out
why not use one of the many phone apps that can sync to multiple device? i get the "mess around factor" with playing with the ticket printer but would think phone would be more reliable. The list on the apps sync whenever the phone has access so it wouldn't matter if the grocery store had none
Cause I like projects like that 😄
and you can teach every idiot how to use it
"press the button, take the print, go shopping" 😄
even your personal shopper
Ye I was thinking about getting someone who cleans the House for us, if that person would want to also do our grocery shopping that might also be a valid option to tell them what to get
I also know the owner of the little grocery store in the next village, I might even be able to throw a printer with a Pi that connects to my MQTT Server into the store and have the bags pre packed XD
wait what, people print grocery lists ?
well now it prints the Pool Temperature 😆
I feel like we're regressing to days of a stock ticker printing on strips of paper
well, we are back to 'mainframes'
and history is just a flipbook of all the previous states from the day
Had too much going on recently
like fighting with your boss over a made up issue?
or being annoyed at not getting the position you got better credentials for?
I have a new phone and haven't turned off auto-correct yet.
So this morning when writing "something something, I believe" my Swedish autocorrect kicked in and I realized with horror that "Belieber" is in the Swedish word list.
I also realized this morning that the magsafe connector on the phones back is strong enough to ruin a hotel room key card.
Thankfully there is only 3 left if Norway, but they still hound some 85 yo to fix code on it every once in a while
No i don't count as400 as a mainframe
Depending on the keycard just being next to a standard phone is enough
Or even something like a credit card
That's why they should use the card's UUID instead of data stored on the card itself
You can't erase the UUID
reading is hard for some people
why they choose to use a text based medium, is confusing at best
i have a question
i have left python building on an rpi 3 for the last 2 hours and its still building
was this a wise idea
or shoudl i have just built it on my laptop
It'll finish eventually
If you've got a cross-compiler then compiling it on proper hardware will be quicker
Also, you should put the pi in recycling
this is just my testing pi
i normally use a pi 4
but i wanted to try someting in home assistant without messing up my main instance
Docker FTW
That's like throwing away a pile of cash
That is true, shit is worth gold these days
you can get a x86 pc for the same price, you can sell your pi for
We should put in you recycling
You're old and don't work much
😂🤣
I work a lot recently actually
14h a day, gotta love that overtime
Fully from home, just gotta break for dinner and putting the kids to bed
any shinobi users here?
why is it only seeing audio streams for my rtsp feeds? 🧐
it gets the preview done but the stream stays black
Where would one acquire such a printer?
got it from a friend who owns a shop
they switched there payment provider and Cash Register and had this one laying around
it was actually brand new in box
😆
who needs a display when you can just print everything?
ye you can do the whole config via a single button
just hold down the feed button while turning on
I'm glad modern shopping is recieptless
I'm tired of finding recipts in my pockets all the time
Just got back from Europe. They give receipts for everything there.
"europe"
oh
🤔
I was visiting Argentina last year, good to see all of america is the same
just say no thanks when someone hands you a recipe
yeah they don't anymore
they either ask if you want one
or it is digital automatically
based on my payment card or app or account
I was surprised how much cash there was in Japan the last time I was there, but it's been a few years. I had to do a cash advance on my credit card to pay for a ferry ride, as I recall
Seemed out of character
yeah, they love cash
very strange for a very "clean" culture
meanwhile I haven't used hard cash since 2008
outside of international travel
cash is king tho
only in the third world 😄
China was more high tech than Japan in that way, with WeChat everywhere
some dude with a gondola that folks could ride up a river had a WeChat QRCode taped to it 🙂
I remember in 2001 kids texting soda machines in Sweden
we have soda machines that still can't read $1 bill
im trying to install HA on my toaster and it's not working, I flashed the image wearing a trenchcoat but it did not work, but the toaster did blush
lol
the cashier at Macys was surprised I had a chip on my card in 2013, he didn't even know his reader supported it
Macys on manhattan that is
think norway actually got chip after ireland, I had it in ireland in 2006\7 but didn't get it on my card in norway until 2008 I think
I just got a chip card this year
lol
well that's not true, I had a chip on my last two cards, but this one is NFC now too
as soon as I got the NFC card, I made sure we had NFC readers at the store 😛
oh, NFC we've had for at least 7-8 years now
maybe more
noone uses the chip anymore
I think... I remember I saw the first nfc reader in a store in 2012
and I got a card in 2013 maybe
need to verify
I missed
2015 it was introduced
so 7-8 years was a good assumption
gross beastiality
LIFE GOALS
all jokes aside seagulls are actually protected here, it's a $10,000 fine for messing with em
does it count as messing with them if I don't hand over my food?
actually no
as someone who grew up on the coast of the arctic region
I FUCKING HATE SEAGULLS
but I also love their chattering
😄
there's a bunch chatting in my front yard rn
I kinda like it, but it gets annoying when they don't go away
they are congregated near the mango tree, but the suns coming out so they prolly will be gone soon

yeah I ain't trying to pay $10K
lol
people who have thought it was funny to throw them alka seltzer don't think it's funny after the fines
just blame it on a cat
I'd never rat on my cat
Where's he gonna come up with $10k?
Jail time is an option to paying the 10K
COVID has proven we can all do time
blowing up birds and getting free housing and food sounds like a great deal
yeah but unless you're homeless, you dn't wanna live in our jail
oh right, its murrica
it was built in the 1800's and hasn't been upgraded since
no in murrica they have AC in jail, here there isn't even mosquito screens on the windows
in murrica there are toilets in the cells, here there are two buckets
lmfao
prison here is like a 3 star hotel. 5 star if you are rich and famous
Wonder if I have COVID 20
I haven't had a sense of taste or smell for 6 days
But my covid 19 test is negative
👁️🫦👁️
with the shit he eats I would imagine losing taste and smell being an advantage
🤣
