They write something like 250 on the packages but you don’t know if its per gummy or the whole thing. it was so much I couldn‘t get the oily stuff from my teeth, so I reckon it was per gummy

I just noticed that I over contributed to my HSA last year and to pull the excess out I have to print out a form and fax it to the plan administrator. Welcome to 2023, folks

Luckily, we're moving away from these Neanderthals to some other provider

and the form is literally: name, account #, company, phone number, and a checkbox to refund the excess

it's quite possibly the dumbest thing I've had to do

they already have all the information in the header from my account, of course

they coulda even provided a pre-filled version, but not even that

[primal laurel]

We have two multifunction printer/scanner things on my floor and I was concerned that I didn't see "fax" as an option in the first one. Luckily, the second one saved the day

[primal laurel]

im from the 90's, I have never seen a fax machine in my life

[static schooner]

I'm from...before that...but there aren't many dedicated fax machines anymore. It's basically an app on a printer

"print" is also an app 🙂

[clear ferry]

I remember fax, had to do it in 2007 because my company is American, first time since 2003 I did it and haven't done it since, America, the least technologically advanced country strikes again

[static schooner]

this is Optum, which handles the HSA for both my previous and current employer

[clear ferry]

What a strange concept HSA is, I've never heard of this before, had to Google

[static schooner]

it's basically Yet Another Pretax Investment Account for me. max it out and move on

[clear ferry]

Yeah, I wouldn't need one of those since everything is covered already, as long as I pay the maximum fee of $200 a year in consultation and medication that is

Sounds similar to what kids can do to save up to a house here, just for future medical stuff

[static schooner]

doesn't have to be medical stuff. It becomes general retirement funds

[clear ferry]

Interesting

[static schooner]

more free money from my company

I can invest it while it sits there

[clear ferry]

We have three ways to save retirement
One part comes from state as long as we earn money state puts a fixed amount from taxes to retirement

One part comes from employer, they do up to 7% of your salary (on top of your salary) to retirement

One part is what we want to invest ourselves, which is voluntary and not capped

All three go into a government account that is locked away until you retire

[static schooner]

that's not too dissimilar from the US, in that "locked away" means you pay a 10% penalty to withdraw

[clear ferry]

Oh no penalties, you just can't take money from it until you are 62 or medically retired

[static schooner]

my point is that we can, it just costs a penalty

[clear ferry]

Yeah, we can't, and if you don't have any heirs it is inherited by state

[static schooner]

the second one, at least

the first one starts at retirement (or 62.5, I think) and the third is a free-for-all

Getting a not shit 3D printer let me enjoy 3D printing again

I gave up on using my Ender 3 for anything more than basic shapes

[primal laurel]

I love my ender 3

Took some tweaking but I knew that

[prisma briar]

My new printer is about 10x as fast and gives better quality prints than my Ender 3 does. The convenience that that speed gives is so nice.

[primal laurel]

But what did it cost😂

I got my ender 3 for €130, hard to beat

[prisma briar]

The printer itself was $699, but I got a combo that came with a filament switcher for $950.

I have about $600 in my Ender 3 right now, mostly because I got mine for $300 right after they launched and have since replaced most of it.

I have dual z axis motors on mine, replaced the mobo and screen, replaced the psu, replaced the bed, replaced a motor that was missing steps, converted it to direct drive, replaced the springs holding the bed with stiffer ones, added an esp3d to it for network control, redid all the wiring, replaced all the fans, replaced the hotend

I'm down to just the frame and a couple motors of the original ender 3 left

[primal laurel]

That's a lot

[prisma briar]

I got mine in late 2018

Might have been early 2019, can't remember for sure

[primal laurel]

I added a webcam, octoprint, led bar, glass bed and auto leveler

[prisma briar]

Oh yea, I added an auto leveler probe, too. I have a webcam for mine too but I use it for other things too so didn't think about it.

And I have a greenhouse enclosure for it with an RGBWW LED strip ran around the inside on a Zigbee module

I have an HA automation that turns the lights on and off with the ping status of the esp3d module I put on it

The RGBWW lights were overkill but I had like 5 feet left over from another project

[primal laurel]

Mine is addressable so I can do some cool effects based on the state of the printer

Also added a power meter plug

And an automation that sends a push notification to my phone with a button that can then turn everything off

[prisma briar]

I just got my first strand of argb leds, I set them up with WLED. I'm making some light-up numbers to put on the front of my house.

Is this SLI?

No wait, this is way too big to be a SLI connector

What is it

[ocean oar]

Four A100/H100 class GPUs on Nvidia's "Redstone" carrier, in an HPE chassis.
Judging by it being the 4-GPU and not the 8-GPU, the XL645d motherboard, so there are two complete systems (2 CPU / 4 GPU each) in that chassis

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/hgx/

Looked at these a few years ago at work. We ended up needing GPUs that could handle a mixed compute/render workload (so the A40 rather than A100) but they do look fun

[red rock]

That's awesome

[ocean oar]

Fairly good way to use approximately 1kW per rack unit

Think they calculated it at 6.2kW each when we were looking

Got these rc snubbers to wire in parallel with fans I'm controlling via smart switches, how do I determine the polarity here? Which wire needs to be wired with line and which wire needs to be wired with neutral?

found out elsewhere, polarity does not matter with these

does polarity even matter with these?

[young sigil]

There is no support in this channel. Try #diy-archived but if you have to ask you should hire an electrician.

[golden wing]

okay i asked here because it wasn't directly related to HA

[young sigil]

In that case you shouldn't be asking on this server.

[golden wing]

ok

[prisma briar]

Most people anywhere are going to be reluctant to answer simple and easy to research questions like that when the result of a failed install can be fire or death.

To phrase it differently, if you have to ask about that you're already in over your head. Go find a professional.

[golden wing]

that's one of the most condescending answers i've ever gotten to what seems like a basic question lol

i've been searching in regards to the polarity of these rc snubbers but i can't find any kind of datasheet or anything

which is why i figured i might as well post somewhere where it's likely someone else has used similar devices in a similar way to see

[prisma briar]

I don't really care if you find me condescending. What you're doing is dangerous with the level of expertise you are demonstrating.

[golden wing]

i haven't demonstrated any level of expertise. i've asked a question. you're acting as if i posted a picture of myself sticking live and neutral in the same wago wondering why the breaker trips when i turn it on

what exactly about adding this in parallel is so much more dangerous than other diy projects i've done fine and without issue like shelly and smart switch installations

[prisma briar]

No, I'm acting like you're holding the live and neutral wires and asking which one to put into which side of the outlet. Because that's essentially what you're doing.

[golden wing]

would you care to explain what exactly is so hazardous and deadly about what i'm asking or are you just gonna keep being a condescending asshole

[prisma briar]

Your basic questions indicate a general lack of awareness or familiarity with voltages and configurations that can easily kill you or a loved one.

If someone popped on here asking how to jack their car up to drop a transmission I'd respond in the same manner. Go find a professional.

[golden wing]

would you care to explain anything about what specifically is so dangerous? you just keep saying "i think the question you're asking is stupid therefore you're stupid and it's not worth giving you any time, despite the fact that i'll spend my time further elaborating on how stupid i think you are"

[prisma briar]

Go shove a fork in an outlet if you want to see what's dangerous.

[glacial knot]

someone needs to get better at using Cunningham's Law 🙂

[golden wing]

i'll take that as a no, then

[prisma briar]

You're not doing yourself any favors by continuing

[golden wing]

ok

if it's such a basic question you could have easily just gave an answer and a warning, but you chose to be a condescending asshole instead

[prisma briar]

I did give a warning, I warned you against messing with high voltages when you have no idea what you're doing and can't find an answer to such a simple question for yourself. You're a giant red flag, man.

I just don't want you to end up as a statistic.

[golden wing]

oh right, you're being an asshole because you care about me

no, you're being an asshole because you want to be

i'm not gonna sit here and list off the diy projects i've already done safely just so you can feel better about answering the question

if you want to answer it, go ahead. if you don't, don't.

there's no need to be an asshole about it

[prisma briar]

Do you hear that? That's the sound of everything I've said going over your head.

[golden wing]

you've said nothing but "i think you're stupid and i'm not telling you any more"

[prisma briar]

Yup. Maybe you should think about that for a bit.

[golden wing]

maybe you should just stop being such a condescending asshole for no reason

it's not hard dude

[prisma briar]

You're asking how to do dangerous things but in such an amateur manner that people are afraid to help you.

[golden wing]

i'm making sure i know what i'm doing before i attempt to do it

is that really such a bad thing?

good lord dude

[prisma briar]

You're asking a really stupid question

[golden wing]

if it's so fucking stupid just answer it

[prisma briar]

You're asking a really stupid question that anyone with even the most basic familiarity with A/C power should know the answer to.

[golden wing]

okay so you're just gonna keep being an asshole for no reason at all

got it

[prisma briar]

Which makes me wonder what else you don't know, like safety requirements

Which, coupled with your attitude of 'I know how to do it, I'm great' leads me to be concerned you're going to kill someone

[golden wing]

i'm not saying "i know how to do it" i'm asking a fucking question so i can figure out how to do it

you fucking prick

[prisma briar]

As I said, you're a giant red flag.

You have to be entirely unfamiliar with one of the most critical and dangerous properties of A/C power to not already know the answer to your question.

[golden wing]

if you don't wanna answer my question just don't

like i said before, there's no reason to be a condescending asshole about it

if you're so concerned about my safety, explain what exactly it is you think i'm gonna do wrong

[glacial knot]

but its fun. And mods get mad if we try to convince people to put live wire were the sun never shines D:

[prisma briar]

Not understand A/C polarity?

[golden wing]

but you're not actually concerned about my safety

you just wanna be an asshole for the sake of it

[prisma briar]

You're refusing to listen to what I'm saying because you think it's a blow to your ego.

Get over yourself.

[golden wing]

you're refusing to what i'm saying

i'm not asking questions because i think i'm some hot shot who can't do anything wrong

i'm asking questions because i want to make sure i know what i'm doing before i do it

if i was the person you're trying to imply that i am i would have already gone and tried it and gottem myself killed already

[prisma briar]

Just for fun I checked how long it would take me to find the answer to your question on Google, it took a single three word search and reading a paragraph from the first link. If you can't do that bare minimum level of effort then stay away from mains voltage, you're clearly incompetent.

[golden wing]

are you going to do anything other than be a condescending asshole tonight

[prisma briar]

Yea, I'm going to be a safety advisor and try to get some thick-skulled idiot to not burn his house down.

[golden wing]

okay so you're just gonna keep being a condescending asshole

got it

[prisma briar]

Go hire a professional if you can't figure it out.

[umbral cliff]

Let's stop this here

[golden wing]

i'm not hiring a professional to tell me which way a device goes when wiring it across the live and neutral just before the load. all i'm trying to figure out is if there even is a right way

and you're being such an asshole about it for no reason

[prisma briar]

You can deny it all you want but there is a reason.

[golden wing]

yeah, the reason is that you just want to be an asshole on the internet. it's how you pass your time. you can't stand the fact that someone is trying to plan out what they're going to do before they do it so you wanna just be an asshole to pass the time

[umbral cliff]

Guys drop it

[prisma briar]

If you had put as much effort into finding the answer as you've put into arguing with me you'd have it by now.

[umbral cliff]

Personal insults aren't needed

[golden wing]

are you gonna keep playing this game of "i know more than you, you're such an idiot" or are you actually going to give any bit of helpful information

[prisma briar]

I am giving you helpful advice. Stay away from things that can kill you when you don't know what you're doing.

[golden wing]

i turn off the breaker for any circuit i work on and use a voltage tester to ensure that any wire i interact with isn't hot before interacting with it. i'm not gonna get killed. are you gonna keep being an asshole now?

[prisma briar]

I was never being an asshole. I was expressing safety concerns that your tantrum has done nothing to alleviate.

You only think I'm an asshole because I'm telling you no.

[golden wing]

i think you're an asshole because you've done nothing but be an asshole

[umbral cliff]

I recommend you both stop before the mods get involved

[prisma briar]

I can live with you thinking I'm an asshole. Can you live with 120v across your chest?

[golden wing]

no, that's why i don't work on live circuits

???

[tidal bronze]

@static schooner after much practice....

[prisma briar]

I'd be terrified of what is unknowingly a live circuit in your house when you're demonstrating this level of comprehension over A/C polarity.

[golden wing]

shit while i'm at it i might as well go into my breaker box and stick screwdrivers into both live phases for 240v through my chest while i'm at it

[glacial knot]

I assume the music is you, live?

After 1300 times I can be a little joyful, can't I?

[glacial knot]

oh right, you don't have that music for local festivities o.0

[golden wing]

do you want me to post a picture of the voltage detector i use before messing with wires to make you happy? do you want me to post a video of me turning off the breaker to the relevant inductive load that i bought the RC snubber for before you'll give any kind of meaningful information?

[prisma briar]

No, you're off the mark of where the concerns actually are and really should go get a professional.

My main concern is you don't know how grounding works.

[golden wing]

if i'm so off the mark, and you're so concerned, why don't you give any actual safety advice

you think i'm not aware that if i touch a single live wire that my body could complete a circuit between live and ground and i could die?

[prisma briar]

Because if you understood A/C grounding and polarity you probably wouldn't be asking these questions to begin with. These are not topics that should be taught in a couple messages over Discord, you need to go put actual effort into learning this.

[dusky plank]

[prisma briar]

I don't think you recognize the danger or potential situations where it's possible to create non-obvious configurations where that happens.

[golden wing]

i understand that in a/c polarity isn't strictly positive and negative and that the live wire is both positive and negative at a frequency of 60ish hz

[static schooner]

At first sight, it was clear that would end poorly 🙂

[golden wing]

i understand that i'm not an electrical engineer either

[static schooner]

Making good latte art is like knowing how to install a snubber...

[golden wing]

i understand that there are things i don't know

and that's why i'm asking

to find out

[prisma briar]

Yea, but you also need to understand how polarity works in reference to chassis grounding and making sure you're not accidentally energizing chassis, you need to understand wire nuts/wagos and how to connect it all properly, you need to make sure you're not mixing metals, you need to make sure wires are the correct gauges.

It's not just 'tab a into slot b' and done

[glacial knot]

wire nuts 🤢

[prisma briar]

Yea wire nuts are stupid

[tidal bronze]

Not pink ones

[prisma briar]

But there's a whole system to using them right and if you don't follow it you're creating a dangerous situation

[glacial knot]

just make sure to crimp end pieces onto your solid core wires 😄

[prisma briar]

pls no crimping of solid core wires

[tidal bronze]

Wife sent that to me. She cracks up at my craze over coffee 😀

[golden wing]

i can assure you that

1. i am not energizing chassis. when i am done there are no exposed conductors (with the exception of the bare ground wires) anyways
2. i don't use wire nuts, i use wagos.
3. the wire in my walls is 12 guage, even for 15 amp circuits. i'm not sure why, maybe the installers just didn't wanna bother keeping track of 12/14 guage for the 15/20 amp circuits in the house. the only circuits i've worked on or will work on are 15 amp, so i have solid core 14 guage wire that i use when i need it

[glacial knot]

yea, why would you go crazy over something so aweful?

[static schooner]

I'm not even sure what the base drink was. Some Americano thing?

[tidal bronze]

No idea

[static schooner]

If it was supposed to be espresso, it was a pretty poor example 🙂

[glacial knot]

they might not have used their best brew for a joke video 🤔

[prisma briar]

A metal chassis will be wired directly to one of the A/C lines. "no exposed conductors" has nothing to do with anything. That cap does not look like 12awg wire, but you might be using a different gauge than me.

[tidal bronze]

Topped with some hot water 🤣

[prisma briar]

Sorry, but this just further reinforces that you don't know how to safely do the work you're asking about.

[golden wing]

i can live with some random person on the internet not thinking i can do something safely. the fact of the matter is i've never done anything without ensuring that it was safe before hand and all i've done tonight is try to start the process of ensuring something that i want to do is safe beforehand

[glacial knot]

are you sure they didn't top it with the tears of a barista?

If you want to be safe beforehand you need to get more of an education than asking questions on Discord will provide, or just go hire a professional.

I quite liked what BlackMagic was doing back in the day around that; the camera just had a slot that fit a 2.5" SATA SSD, and they sold a nice 19" rackmount reader that hooked up by thunderbolt and fit four SSDs to offload them

[glacial knot]

but does it have a fancy apple logo?

[prisma briar]

I've noticed myself using the pro mode more often on my phone's camera, the normal photo mode tries to balance everything to around an indoor lit brightness and it makes it inaccurately represent anything in a darker environment, almost like an anti-HDR.

[tidal bronze]

Bring it a stop down in auto mode

[prisma briar]

My camera shows an ev slider, but between that and the temperature control I can generally fix it quickly.

I know the exposure has something to do with stops but I don't know the exact relationship

I could probably download a more advanced app for it but the Samsung camera app has been fine so far. I have an S21 UItra.

Disgusting

[umbral cliff]

Some people like the office

[clear ferry]

Freaks

I love they call it "return to office trend" when it is generally a forced return in many parts

[ocean oar]

"decree" is the word they're looking for

[glacial knot]

it's a trend within CEOs 🤷

[clear ferry]

Like HPE, "we would like to see you return to the office 2-3 days a week to work closer with colleagues" aka "we CEOs own property, and it is plummeting in the US because noone is using the offices, please we will lose millions"

[glacial knot]

The one that I find the most amusing is the number of companies that "consult" with their staff around a hybrid schedule, then just ignore them and do what they were going to do all along

[clear ferry]

i find it pretty entertaining

they keep sending me laptops they have to pay for every day and I don't even use

[umbral cliff]

Office is nice, doing a few days there means I get to talk to people
Plus my supervisor has to listen to what flexible working I want, have 1 day a week but may look at 2 days a week at some point

Very ungerman

[umbral cliff]

But yeah I’m a fan of flexible working, even though company push is to have more flexible working arrangements lol
Even required under our contract that everyone must get a day a week and your manager can’t shut it down

they want a work life balance and flexibility

Yesterday's GPU install was €1.2M btw, I'm waiting for a new one that is €430M and another project that is €12M

There is a lot of AI going on

[ocean oar]

Kinda glad our work doesn't lend itself to heavy GPU use, means we're not really finding ourselves in strong competition for hardware.

Installing a shitload of CPU compute though

[clear ferry]

There is quite long lead times now

I rolled out 120 new CPU compute nodes last year for the same cluster I upgraded yesterday

They are doing quite a mixed load

Total is about 500 nodes now, and 16 of those are GPU

Some big mem nodes

[ocean oar]

What's big memory in your world?

[clear ferry]

3TB

And beyond

[ocean oar]

Ah yes, which puts you on the "beaucoup dollars" tier of memory pricing.
The pricing on 128GB DDR5 is... problematic

[clear ferry]

Well, you should see the 256 and 512 modules then

[ocean oar]

I got a hint of the 256s, then stopped asking

[clear ferry]

I installed 64 256 dimms in two systems just after Christmas

That was fun

Replaced the CPUs from gold to platinum too

[ocean oar]

I'm hoping 96GB DIMMs actually materialise, 24× 96G (2.25T) would probably be good for what we're doing

[clear ferry]

There was a lot of intention for that

Never materialized though

[ocean oar]

Epyc Genoa's 1DPC limitation hasn't really come to bite us (yet). Sapphire Rapids Xeons seem to lose a lot of speed in 2DPC mode though (4400MT/s)

I did a NDA meeting with the EMEA president of AMD, and I'm really optimistic to AMD for the first time in 12 years

[ocean oar]

AMD definitely seem to like us 🙂 I might well have been the first person (who didn't work for either AMD or a server manufactuer) to test a Genoa-X CPU on something that wasn't made by Supermicro.

Unsolicited care packages of CPUs for the win!

[umbral cliff]

[umbral cliff]

Nice!

I'm actually upgrading my laptop with an AMD board when it arrives
Seems to be a huge performance boost over Intel

[clear ferry]

Yeah, I don't care about consumer though 😄

I'm only looking at 64 core upwards and MI300x stuff

[umbral cliff]

Yeah I care about consumer
Because it's a) only thing I can afford
B) why would I want enterprise

[ocean oar]

a) applies to both purchase price, and power consumption

[umbral cliff]

Eh power consumption isn't a concern
Power is relatively cheap, at least for Australia

[ocean oar]

Our dual 9684X / 1.5TB systems use 1.45kW each running flat out. No GPUs, only a single SSD

[umbral cliff]

Maybe not that much though lol

$0.30/hr and my partner would kill me

[clear ferry]

The old Superdome systems were also quite power hungry

with 16 cell boards and 192 PCI-X slots

A full configuration took 23h to boot

[ocean oar]

Better hope you don't miss pressing the delete key for the bios and have to reboot it again 🤣

I spent a lot longer than I wanted today staring at slow-ass option ROM screens, so I might be a bit salty about slow-booting systems

[clear ferry]

thankfully there is no BIOS on the superdome

if you want to miss the bios key, running a BL660 G6 with 1TB ram takes 45 minutes to display the post screen, because Intel wanted to test the memory before starting post

great fun troubleshooting memory issues

[ocean oar]

We've got some Oracle ZFS systems that are like that. 96× 16GB DIMMs, 40+ minute boot time

[clear ferry]

Oracle you say, so mis-labeled SUN boxes

😄

[ocean oar]

They were at least kind enough to put a supercapacitor on each memory riser so when you pull it out you still get an error LED next to the individual socket

[clear ferry]

I did find the IBM boxes with memory trace leds quite interesting, but not really a great value as it just adds to something that can break

[ocean oar]

They actually only stopped putting the Sun logo on them (both the servers, and their branded racks) a year or so ago. Just says Oracle now

Surprised it took that long

[clear ferry]

Oh, I thought it was longer since

The boxes I saw last in 2012 or did have Oracle logos

the instructions at https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/ worked for me.

[clear ferry]

I just pay for YouTube Premium, don't want my kids to see ads and I watch so much YouTube instructional videos it would be very annoying

Especially since I can't install blockers everywhere

Offline is also nice

[ocean oar]

Considering the usual argument is that a lot of people are paying for Spotify, but YTP gets you a "good enough" music service as well as ad-free youtube for the same price.

In fact looking at it, seems like spotify actually costs more here in NZ; single user membership is $17 vs $16 for YTP

[clear ferry]

yeah, I don't use YT music, just video

Also family membership of Spotify costs as much as 1.5 accounts

and you get 5 accounts

YT premium family is also the price of 1.5 or so users with 5 users

[umbral cliff]

Its why I convinced my parents to pay for my Spotify years ago
And then my partner also links off it too now lol

[clear ferry]

yeah, we do one for each of the kids, one for me and the wife and one for the house

so stuff we all use don't mix up algorithms

[umbral cliff]

I should move to a family YouTube membership for my partner and I
Currently mine is the one on the tvs and they deal with ads when they use their phone

[prisma briar]

YT Music has a really bad app

I have a branded YT account because I refused to remake it with my real name back when Google+ came out, I have to sign out of that YT account and sign into my real name YT account to use YouTube Music. Then if I want any of my YT history I'd have to sign back out and into my branded account. Between that and YT pausing if you start playing somewhere else if you have premium makes premium an all around worse experience than free YT, imo.

[clear ferry]

I do love spotify, because it moves with me, my laptop runs spotify, the kitchen speakers run spotify, my phone runs spotify and my car runs spotify natively

so whenever I start the car it resumes where I paused before

[umbral cliff]

I hate the spotify mobile app on android, it doesn't resume playing if the internet connection is missing (which is the case in my apartment complex's carpark, about 50% of the time I have coverage)
But even though the music is fully downloaded offline, it'll only play if I skip the current song for some reason

Also does the same on planes too

[clear ferry]

I have no issues really

either on airplanes or in datacenters under ground

[low harness]

Instructions? I just clicked the X and kept watching without ads...

[dawn prawn]

Interesting timing on YouTube discussion, I signed up with my VPN set to Ukraine today for about 4USD a month for a family plan. Dunno how long it will last (Indian one lasted two years) but I’m with @clear ferry - don’t want my kids watching their crappy ads

[clear ferry]

Funny enough, when you watch kids stuff the ads come more often

like, if my daughter is watching something that is 5 minutes there is 5 ads, if I watch something that is 1h there is two ads

without premium

[prisma briar]

I'm still yet to see any adblocking stuff

I always seem to get changes to Google products rolled out to me dead last

[primal laurel]

That's phase 1, phase 2 gives you 3 videos, phase 3 blocks you entirely

I got adguard running now but it doesn't seem to block yt ads

YT premium has zero value for me other than blocking ads so f that

[red rock]

I mean, YT premium is nice to watch videos in de background

[primal laurel]

I can do that already?

[red rock]

via what

[primal laurel]

my pc

[dawn prawn]

Not on your phone you can’t. I can change to another app and still listen to it in the background.

[dusky plank]

No problems here with adguard and ublock. Never seen issues maybe I‘m in the next wave.
But also on ios no ads or anything

Havin DNS over TLS seems to help imo

[primal laurel]

there are alternative YT apps on android which can do it as well. But I don't use YT on my phone. In fact I try to keep my phone usage to the bare minimum

[primal laurel]

yeah the first people were hit months ago, NL got hit this week. Probably depends on your location

[narrow scarab]

I use "sTube" on all of my nvidia shields, It works pretty well.

[dusky plank]

vinegar for ios

big unifi deployment 😛

[ocean oar]

It always annoyed me how the UBB is nearly 2× the price of the basically-identical GBE.
Like it has proper 802.3 PoE and UniFi controller support, but otherwise you're paying $499 for the pretty much the same thing you can have a pair of for $258.

[clear ferry]

Yuck unifi

[ocean oar]

The USW-Flex is a pretty cool thing (1-in-4-out PoE is a rarity, especally with its bt-in/at-out power figures), but I'm definitely over their APs and switches in general.

The thing that would - if not fix, then at least strongly help - the not-quite-enterprise design would be adding some form of MLAG to the higher-end switches, and LACP to the routers.
You can't at the moment design a truly fault-tolerant network, because the only resiliency you have is spanning-tree.
Because it's a controller-based system, abstracting away the complexity of MLAG and making two switches look and act like one should be an absolute cake-walk too.

[hollow glacier]

Yea but for remote management I figured all in UniFi would be nice

I even added the dust caps to upset atx

[ocean oar]

Oh don't get me wrong, I still think you made the right choice there. It's just a really tough call to spend that much more for it

[hollow glacier]

I walked past a McLaren in the garage when I went to survey the place lol

He wants Wi-Fi 6e and a guest house with solid internet so we went a lil crazy

[late gate]

unifi is alright. their AP points are doing well, but the routers are way too limited. looks pretty though.

[ocean oar]

APs are fine, but I got referred to as "elitist" (and, somehow, a "cisco shill", now sure how they made that connection) by telling people to avoid the MediaTek ones and only buy the Qualcomm

Now that - nearly 5 years later - they finally implemented per-VLAN PPSK with a single SSID, you can actually do some cool stuff too

[subtle pasture]

Meanwhile I'm over here avoiding Ubiquiti like the plague, buying used HPE Aruba WAPs off eBay

Ubiquiti just seems like prosumer nonsense. They still don't offer redundant management controllers, which is always the ask that nukes Ubiquiti from the running in enterprise deployments.

And redundant controllers would have been real nice when 1st gen cloudkeys were burning up left and right... I hear the 2nd gen ones are better, but still.

[ocean oar]

The early Gen 2s were still flawed. They have an internal LiPo battery which tended to go spicy pillow after only ~18 months

I think the later ones don't have the battery at all (I guess they fixed the issue with the MongoDB corruption on unclean shutdown?)

On the slim chance anybody here knows how, could you guide me in the right direction on how to do this? (Or point me somewhere else that might know?)

I've already tried pushing up on it, but putting a significant amount of force on it did nothing, and I don't want to break it

Oh. Too late 😆

[marsh moth]

. Ensure the convertible mount hook on the front of the cradle is inserted with the hook facing up. If not, remove
and reverse the hook so that it is in position to secure the digital scanner in place. (See Figure 1-3 on page 1-4
for the location of the convertible mount hook.)

Where is the best place to ask about information regarding sniffing tuya zigbee comunication?

mobile providers still suck

transferred my number with a lot of trouble to a new one,
two weeks later my old provider decides to release my phone number as prepaid number still in its own system

guess who's not reachable from the whole t-mobile net ? yeah, exactly. they route everything to some random sim card

[dusky plank]

what is that white/green stuff thats forming when there is a short on metal contacts?

[clear ferry]

corrosion ?

in norwegian we call it irr

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdigris

The white substance which you see around battery terminals is either lead sulfate or anhydrous copper sulfate

[umbral cliff]

Thats just amusing

[dusky plank]

it is, until they realize that I can sue them with that crap

[glacial knot]

please tell me your bank does SMS 2FA 😂

[dusky plank]

my coworkers have no idea what my number is, as does my employer

if they want to call me they should give me a phone

[glacial knot]

that's why mine just write in chat and hope I look at it o.0
Even though I have a corp phone and contract

[umbral cliff]

My coworkers have my number, and we have a signal team group chat
But outside of business hours or if I'm on leave nothing gets looked at

Don't get any calls either

[red rock]

Don't you socialize with coworkers outside of office hours?

[dusky plank]

"kthxbyeee" is my socialising. except when I'm in office

[red rock]

I mean, I worked for 1.5 years at a company where I started as intern

and I still have 3 groups of people I still speak regularly

There were also some external hires, and we have a Teams chat that is still living on

so I left as I was graduating, some other left as well

and we add them to the group with the new account

[glacial knot]

Only if work pays

[umbral cliff]

Not at the current job
Previous job yeah, have some good friends from there

Work isn't just about getting paid to me, I like meeting new people too

[iron granite]

My previous company doesn't even exist anymore. Not my fault (I think )

[red rock]

Yep

I mean, I am now working only on HA for the last 3 months, and the thing that keeps me going are the people

[iron granite]

I still need to do a housewarming

[umbral cliff]

Hmm so I've set up a wireguard site2site vpn with opnsense on both ends, I can ping any device on the other network from the opnsense firewall itself, but from a device on the network I can only go as far as the wireguard IPs, not the other subnet

Have firewall rules in place for the WG interface (subnet a can access any), and nothing in firewall live logs either

Any clues?

[glacial knot]

probably a missing return route on the other site? 🤔

or are both VPN hosts the respective primary routers?

[iron granite]

Maybe some static routes missing

[glacial knot]

could of course also be a routing issue on the side you ping from

Have you tried to tcpdump on the VPN hosts and see how far the pings go?

[umbral cliff]

They are yes
Have rules from the WG subnet to anything, and source IP to anything
Both sides can't ping more than that WG subnet

And LAN has access to anything back anyway

[umbral cliff]

No but thats smart

[umbral cliff]

Okay so it seems like if its subnet a, pings will be seen on the device on subnet b, but the returns aren't getting through
And pings sent from subnet b, won't be seen on subnet a

So its something in my subnet a firewall rules then....

[glacial knot]

do you need to enable related in some firewall? 🤔

[umbral cliff]

I've done everything the same for the two

Same rules, etc
Just changed the IPs to match the opposite

[dusky plank]

subnet b is missing a route

[umbral cliff]

Do you know where I can find where they should be listed in opnsense?

[dusky plank]

ideally you want wg to make these

[umbral cliff]

Nope seems to be a route actually

Seems it was created

I need to sleep now, willing to try anything when I wake in the morning

This is giving me a headache, it should work

[dusky plank]

you can define routes in system - routes

I've set 2 routes there but only because I use these sites as gateways for certain subnets

so yeah, wireguard should definitely make these upon connection

[umbral cliff]

Yeah and I checked there are routes defined for the other subnets
So in reality it should work

[dusky plank]

remove these. if you don't tell wgthat you make these manually they will get into conflict

or tell wireguard to not make them

[umbral cliff]

I didn't make them. Wg made them

[dusky plank]

no it didn't

[umbral cliff]

Well I didn't

They existed

[dusky plank]

the ones wireguard makes don't show up there

[umbral cliff]

There is a section that they do show

[dusky plank]

they get created dynamically

[umbral cliff]

Not the main states

Regardless I didn't add anything. It has other stuff too (can't remember exactly where)

Given they match the side that's working I'm not concerned. I think it's some firewall rule

[dusky plank]

firewall rules don't create routes ?

[umbral cliff]

No. I'm saying I don't think it's routes causing it

[dusky plank]

there's this if you manually specify them

[umbral cliff]

Again, I haven't manually specified anything route related

I'm just thinking it has to be some firewall rule issue

[pulsar thicket]

Hello together,

currently I have some shelly 1pm to monitor socket consumption.
My problem is, that for each room, all sockets are connected in series.
So the first socket will show the power of all other sockets. Only the last in the series will show the actual usage.
Any idea to have a sensor for each shelly which displays the actual consumption?

[primal laurel]

there is no way your sockets are in series

[pulsar thicket]

Each is connected to each other.
Sorry, parallell

But they are wired, that for example if the first shelly is turned off, all other are off too.
I guess its not wired correctly then?

Normally they should be independent I guess?

[primal laurel]

normally one shelly channel controls one socket

not sure what you did

[pulsar thicket]

A friend installed it.
I guess he installed the shelly to the socket and the second socket is connected to the socket itself instead of the shelly, so when the shelly is off, the next socket remains off as well.

[primal laurel]

there should be a T-junction, one going to the shelly and the other end going to the next socket

[glacial knot]

is it truely a T junction when wagos look more like an m?

[primal laurel]

from a topology/graph perspective, they are the same thing lol

[dusky plank]

TTT there. wago.

[primal laurel]

XXXXXXXX

[prisma briar]

Outlets are generally wired in series with the rest of the outlets on that circuit/in that room, it's the most efficient way to wire it.

You can also do stuff like have one GFCI outlet provide GFCI/RCD protection to an entire room like that.

idk about the rest of the world but US outlets will have a set of terminals (and sometimes those awful insert holes) for each plug on the outlet that are linked together with a breakaway tab, one set of terminals is generally used for a link to the breaker box and the other is used for a link to the next outlet on the circuit.

Or you can break the breakaway tab away and feed each socket independently, like if you want to switch one outlet with a wall switch but not the other.

[primal laurel]

I think you mean cascaded? We have groups which are parellel, each on their own fuse. Then the loads on each group (sockets) are cascaded. (I'm in EUW)

[prisma briar]

Well, okay. The current isn't actually flowing in series across the devices plugged in.

[static schooner]

right, what you described is "parallel", not "series"

[prisma briar]

It's more of a daisy-chained parallel. I'm not familiar with 'cascaded'

[prisma briar]

Yea, I was thinking series as in each one daisy chains, not series as in the electrical term.

[primal laurel]

yes, sorry, I am an EE so the words may main something different to me lol

[prisma briar]

But it does flow through each receptacle's terminals.

Pretty sure Timo meant series as in daisy chained, not series as in electrically in series.

[primal laurel]

Yes, daisy chained is fine

but you need a T junction otherwise you interrupt the flow to other sockets

[prisma briar]

Yea, it sounds like that's what he's missing. I'd be worried about overloading whatever he's using to control the circuit with running multiple outlets off of it, idk what the shelly is but there's a lot of 10A or less modules out there.

[dusky plank]

multicast snubbers are the real danger

[winged obsidian]

Here's a quick description of what @prisma briar was talking about: https://inspectapedia.com/electric/Electrical-Outlet-Wiring-Series-vs-Parallel.php. Basically, instead of T connections it's possible to wire US outlets so that there's no pigtail connected to the device. Instead, a small part of the device itself becomes part of the entire circuit. It's as horrible as it sounds. Technically allowed by NEC, but local enforcement may prohibit and it's a bad practice everywhere. It's done by lazy electricians and sometimes when the box is small and there's not enough room for nut/wago.

[static schooner]

Pretty sure that's very, very common in the US

[prisma briar]

Every house I've ever lived in has been wired like that

[static schooner]

all my outlets were wired that way

[prisma briar]

I've heard it called series outlet wiring, I never made the connection to that being conflated with a circuit in series until now.

[winged obsidian]

Yikes, none of mine were like that when I moved in. They sure as heck aren't now. I've no idea what would be the "proper" name for it.

(FWIW, built in 1983, I moved in 1997).

[prisma briar]

Everywhere I've lived was built in the 70s

[winged obsidian]

lol, could be worse. My father's house was built in '71 or '72, during that very short time aluminum wiring was legal.

[static schooner]

any normal outlet that you buy anywhere has two connections per terminal, so they get used 🙂

[prisma briar]

My parents house had aluminum wiring. Led to a small electrical fire when I was a kid then we got it all replaced.

It had aluminum wiring on copper screws everywhere

Actually they didn't get it all replaced, they covered some of the connections in a dielectric grease intended to prevent corrosion instead

[winged obsidian]

Yeah, I've got a tube of that stuff too. You can also get special wire nuts that have a bunch of the grease pre-squeezed into it.

His neighbor implemented a much more effective solution, but for other reasons he already had to remove all the drywall and replace the main panel...

[prisma briar]

We ended up having our main panel replaced too, it was all wildly out of code. It was 70s wiring and DIY stuff my dad tacked on

For perspective I had a conversation with him about why you can't use ground as neutral even though it technically works maybe a year ago

So him adding on an auxiliary panel was not a good idea

[winged obsidian]

Fortunately my dad was comfortable with everything except electrical, and my degree is EE. Also he's a PhD in metallurgy, so acutely aware of corrosion issues. Lots of fun on airplanes talking about microcracks.

So you have something against these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootleg_ground

[prisma briar]

My extent of power is replacing light switches and ceiling fans along with replacing power cords and wiring some relays in. I also wired my A/C in when I did it.

Heh, yea, I like proper grounding. I don't want some of my ground to have potential compared to other ground because it was used as a neutral line either.

[winged obsidian]

"must inform NTNU of what you are thinking" ???

Did you read about the modding stuff today?

[iron granite]

The (delayed) included editor and that they use their own infrastructure instead of Steam Workshop?

[red rock]

Latter

Omg, let's make a home assistant mod. It will emit random RGB lights at random houses and improve citizen happiness

[iron granite]

Custom integration to interact with the game?

[red rock]

Omg yes

[umbral cliff]

Doesn't seem too bad with their own infra. Gives mods to console players, doesn't seem like they're against mods

[iron granite]

Paradox never has been against modding. The Star Trek total conversion mod for Stellaris is even better than their own Star Trek game.

It's fun watching him discover stuff I've been using for years.

I started out the video asking "why is he doing all this from scratch when there are premade boards/devices, and plenty of open-source firmware (Tasmota, ESPHome, WLED) that would do the job quicker and easier?"

And very quickly realized it was purely because he had no idea any of that existed until waaay too late. lol

[orchid rose]

Is home automation really that niche that even the nerds don't know about it?

[subtle pasture]

If you watch the video, he says he was actively avoiding home automation for a very long time, because IoT was an immature dumpster fire not all that long ago.

Now it's a mature dumpster fire 😛

[orchid rose]

I mostly use the CCT part and I find it useful to a point where I probably wouldn't get just RGBW

[orchid rose]

I mean I love his videos but to me 3d printing and home automation perfectly overlap in their geeky dumpsterfierdness

[twilit stratus]

what is your setup strip and controller?

[orchid rose]

Wled for the most part with some older milights mixed in

[twilit stratus]

ic so you don't have anything like this at the moment:

[orchid rose]

I have older milight controllers for those kinds of strips, but I wouldn't recommend them at this point since they don't return their status. So while they work fine they can be a pain. Do you have anything specific in mind that you want to know?

#hardware-archived or #zigbee-archived might be better depending on what you have in mind

[twilit stratus]

my goal at this point is to have an RGB but also have a CW and WW in the mix

and id prefer my voltage to be 12v

but im not married to 12v

[orchid rose]

12V you'll mostly find strips that are single color rather than addressable for every led. Sounds like that's fine for you though

Get 12V rgbcct strip and any wifi or ZigBee controller for it and you should be golden. If you need addressable, then wled and #diy-archived

[twilit stratus]

not married to 12v. i just find high amp power supplies to be more expensive and 5v comes will pitfalls
