I just had a funny thought
was outside in the garage looking at my zigbee door contact switch and just realized atx is going to have to use a putty knife to remove all 400 of his for his move
Norway probably provides a public de-smartifying service
I wonder if you left those in your home here when you sold it if you would have to sell it " as is" because you didn't want to deal with removing them
Any sale is a negotiation
yea but when a home is marked "as is" that price can be severly chopped lol
If they don't want them, they can ask you to remove them. You can then tell them to screw off
Then they can decide not to buy the house
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with that
Whale blubber double sided curls up when he gets too close right?
ugh just spent so much time over engineering a custom button card template
HOTD and Presumed Innocent wins 2024. Sadly netflix can't produce anything good anymore.
been watching The Terror
have you seen that?
only on the 3rd episode but looks interesting so far
7.9 must check it out.
@clever mortar thank you so much for your help... are you actually an employee of nabu?
(sorry for ping, I know you hate it)
No
you really should be... you helped me so often already, I truly appreciate it
I prefer my day job 😉
I hope something with animals 😂 are you a coder? or dev ops?
IT consultant
when I was young I always wanted to be admin/coder. But I was too lazy to put in the work. Now I'm a happy user and my goal is to never work in IT again 😃 (and work with animals!)
also home automation stuff? or like helping big companies to improve their workflows?
All about big companies, not the little stuff
Helping solve the hard problems, and shine light on the actual problems then provide options for making things better
yeah best job in the world imho!
still peddling that dial up service huh?
Wet string first, then you can bill on the dial-up upgrade
bring back the days of paper and snail mail i always say
Signal fires are more fun
Herman Miller Aeron Chair Fully Loaded ( Black Chair )
I've ordered a new seating arrangement
a weld broke on the comfy chair I took from work 6 years ago :(
and I suck at welding and can't seem to get anything to stick on this metal
I should really sit down and figure out how to properly use this welder I bought years ago
ever get sick of premade enclosures? I do so i went out and started working on printing my own enclosures for projects - this is the first attempt at a box lid
no profit, home use only
my HA PC is in a crappy old HP case, I plan to print a new case in OHF colours and have HA logos on it
Raccoon consultant*
Have you tried to turn the raccoon feeder on and on again?
I tried it once but I got bitten by 27000 raccoons
Never again
@last cedar not happy with your buddies. Made a mess last night.
When are we getting news that checo is gone lol
Yes
Who'd replace him though
Ric is just meh
Yuki loool
Yuki, would love to see but just doesn't fit
Bring up some f2 peeps already
And checo is just a money machine at this point because Latin america
Sorry, I will ask them to only make a mess at @forest edge s house instead
I would love to see Yuki there tbh, would be fun if he would take over as lead driver when Max quits his hobby of F1 driving
Can you imagine all the swearing on the podium from Yuki haha
Haha yes
DR is too good and too experienced to be a 2nd driver to Verstappen, IMO
You want a Bottas or a Barichello as a 2nd driver IMO, good enough to come in 2nd and perfectly fine getting paid to do so, and can also win when you have an issue with the firat driver
But it makes for boring racing
The race at Spa was fantastic, despite what happened "after the race"
As much as I want to see Hamiton get his 8th on paper (he was robbed), I also want to see Piastri, Norris, Russel and Leclerc all as WDC 🤣
All this is an IMO btw
Oscar Pastry 🍰
The best Pastry
They said Perez will stay until the end of the season
Excellent, parked next to a black Prius with a big red racing stripe across the top and a giant over the top spoiler
Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture without the driver seeing
It was one of the most ridiculous cars I've seen
#gopriusgo #toyota
2 American adverts made for Superbowl 50 (2016) featuring a couple of bank robbers, the Police and a Toyota Prius
It was definitely the most tricked out Prius I've ever seen
It made me weep for humanity
least they spared you the flames around the hood
That would have been extra hilarious
I like the stick-on fake air intakes
Especially when they're stuck all over hybrids, where they probably do enough to bugger up the aerodynamics to make an appreciable difference to fuel economy
Oh nice good to see fellow f1 fans here
I hope sainz doesn’t ruin his career like bottas did by signing to a shit team. Only hope is if Williams signed newey somehow
I’m shocked perez still has a seat he’s regularly 7 positions behind max
Normal for middle earth right?
sometimes, you should come and bask in the sun with me
Sun ok, sweat no thank you.
your not living till you sweat
I remember seeing him on those aerobic shows eons ago. well before the internet.
ugh makes me feel so old
@last cedar leave my rope alone! https://youtu.be/La9NHE9xsAE?si=PKMuhCNeOtRxxcqN
Set the trial camera back up in the backyard last night, July 18th, 2024, after a long break. This raccoon stole the show by untying an old rope in its path and tying it out of the way.
After asking the public for suggestions, I've named the clever raccoon Knottingham. Below is a link to Knottingham and two young friends/family members fiddling...
Flying sucks
It was all part of the great McDonalds heist, sorry

yes
the people who invented home plate would like to have a word with you
Always someone annoyed with everything I do 😦
you wouldn't want to slide into that
it's not bad when they are buried flush to the ground.
like a cheese grater
Just block trolls and move on it's easier
they are usually pretty smooth. however the plastic they use now for make shift fields are rough.. those I could see scraping some skin on lol
where's the beta channel (for tomorrow)?
oh thanks my bad, it just disappeared from my view because the section was collapsed and did not have any posts for a while I guess..
It's closed when it's not beta week
Sweat? But why?
would love to hear oppnions about HA in a VM on DSM vs a RPI 5
Beta is delayed because of build problems
This is an off topic channel, please refer to #beta
:p
Due to technical issues, we decided to skip the Beta and roll out a Gamma instead
Damn, now I need to figure out how to subscribe to the Gamma update channel 🤣
Or is that a beta feature?
Gamma is invite only
You have to slide into Jorg's DMs to get that invite
Unicode is a stop on the road to hell
everytime I go to look up a unicode for something it shocks me everytime how much shit that has been added to that lol
Dammit, I spent too much of my last week trying to explain encoding to devs who refuse to read a spec. Did not need to see it here too.
We got all the encoding bits available
We should just make it ipv6 level of unreasonable so people can use pictures of their cat
Need some wildcard code points that anyone can map to a glyph of their choice.
I thought that it only had a 16-bit code, but that one is bigger
130k of them is not enough
We need to reserve only a few code points. The glyphs are dealers choice.
Anyone watch presumed innocent?? Great show on atv+ with Jake gyllenhaal
Pretty sure my SSD that contains home assistant crashed. Womp womp
It's OK, it was a pretty old and beaten up ssd
The 2nd best this year
What was your #1?
HOTD of course
I think he's afraid of the dragons
Jake Gyllenhaal? Probably.
So PI who did you suspect?
you watch any of the Terror yet @tidal bronze?
Yes I started. The terror animation was subpar but going to continue
I just finished watching all 7 season of star trek next generations.. even in 4:3 format that show was still good lol
It’s actually hilarious, my wife and I wrote our guesses down after episode 1 and put them in sealed envelopes till after the show. We both guessed the same and were both off by 1 degree.
Nice. Me too
animation? the intro? lol
I wish they made more like PI. Sadly TV hit a new low with crap from Netflix
I would too.. apple is elppa backwards
wtf is PI? you mean that movie where the dude was stranded on a raft with the tiger?
Same. The first knives out was good in this regard though.
Presumed Innocent
Hmmm. Your Honor was as good as PI
Haven’t seen that one yet
Must See!
uh oh,, we somehow manged to get an extreme heat and severe thunderstom warning at the same time lol
gonna run outside when the temp drops more than 20 degrees in a matter of seconds
oh Bryan Cranston, I’m in
Get ready to binge
what are you going to binge during your month of enslavement?
You can do your envelope thing for this one too.
Connected
Major edit above
Cool
I heard PI is coming back, but they are treating each as an anthology.
I have no idea about any devices that apple makes but they can make TV
OK!?
HBO ruins plenty
Has it happened?
but velma was an hbo show, not a cinimax one
am I too sarcastic for my own good?
yea that wasn't obvious sarcasim to me at first lol
oh? you didn't like the witcher?
Liked 12 minutes
someone get this chump a gaming console
alright. Dragon time.
Get ready to bow to the Queen of seven kingdoms,
still rooting for the rat catchers personally. think they are due a come back
Sonoff Ifan made me shutdown HA for good today. 🙂
they could be the start of the white walkers chillin north of the wall sippin on gin and juice while laid back
Read the book?
Nope didn’t even know about the book until halfway through the series
In the book, ||it’s a different killer||
Binging it emphasizes the importance of the beard.
In the book, ||it’s the wife, as you probably guessed||
Correct.
Yea lol
I really liked the first season of Your Honor, but felt like they lost the thread in the second season. Like they weren't entirely sure what to do with it. But BC was excellent as always
Goodday all!
Totally offtopic, but i have a Unify NVR with a 8TB disk (WDPURPLE) now its full, usually i would reformat it every now and then however, i read that when the drive is full the nvr automatically overwrites the data, starting with the oldest first (obv). Is this in any case harmfull or burdersome on the hardware?
Felt the same but overall came out good. No one depicts stress like BC. 😀
FiFO is normal behavior for any NVR.
And formatting it when its full has no extra benefit whatsoever?
other than maybe getting rid of fragmentation?
There will be very little fragmentation in the first place
It matters rather little for something that is effectively a video file
@stuck python set and forget and look out for smart alerts
Can someone please motivate me to get back on the horse and finish my configuration?
Anyone running an old ass Mac mini as their HA server?
There are people who do it. Then they move off it due to Weird hardware architecture issues.
Stop wasting your life avoiding this task.
@weak musk wdym it's Intel
If a task which takes time t to complete shall be completed N times, but can be automated such that it takes time t' to complete, it is worth the time T=fN(t-t') to automate, where f (a number larger than 0, no upper limit) is your Nerd-factor.
Thomas' genereal theorem of automation.
Not applicable for very large N, t' which require monitoring, or in cases of impending deadline/university exam week (where the behavior of T becomes chaotic).
lmaooo
Adding the “not applicable” section is proof of high f
lmao I was gonna search for that message... Thanks @weak musk
My memory is long
I appreciate that more than you know.
And than you will remember?
Think I'll just buy a minipc
Who are you again?
my box for my HA install died last night 😦
Young blood
Moved everything over to a VM in a few minutes but I prefer it's own box for this one
probably the SSD but i dont feel like ripping everything open atm
should've known since HA has been acting fucky the last few days

@forest edge you feeling like this today?
Pretty much the sound my butt made after eating whataburger earlier
Super excited I'm driving today LOL
pretty sure what hit the toilet was much faster
Going to sand down and restain the wood slats as soon as some fresh stain gets in, the stuff I had was pretty dried out and chunky.
Hotd ep 4 review: 🔥🔥🔥
That looks pretty sick
I want to show y’all a really cool project I’ve been working on.
Let me know what y’all think of it and if you have any questions, I’d love to answer them.
That load time tho 😉 But that's impressive. Nicely done!
Sure! I don't have a Wii, but you have me curious.
So Nintendo released a web browser for the Wii and for the time it wasn’t as fast as the other web browser at the time, but it still worked
But now it is the Wii web browser cannot access any modern website because it’s just too old and the security certificates have long since expired
So if you try and load up Home Assistant by default, it won’t work at all
So the way I got around this is I discovered a program called browservice it’s basically a headless web browser that runs on one machine and then streams the content to another older system
Huh... so almost like a proxy service?
Exactly
I gotta admit, that's pretty damn clever. Well done.
So this service converts the website into an image and then send that to the Wii and Wii send the mouse data back to the service creating a usable web browsing experience
I plan on making a Wii styled dashboard for Home Assistant to complete the look
Can I post this video in general since it’s not really off-topic
You should post in the state your projects section of the forum
Can you post a link because I can’t find it in here?
On the forum: https://community.home-assistant.io/c/projects/9
oh thanks
This is impressive 💪🏼😺
lmao, someone died while sleeping that night.
the cat was still hungry and their face was right there
Anyone here got a hue bridge with a lot of devices? I'm getting a feeling mine might be overloaded and I could use some more data points.
The majority of people (in #zigbee-archived ) would tell you to drop the hub and bring the bulbs to a standard zigbee coordinator. @wraith pier
I imagine they would. They wouldn't be the ones re-creating all of my configuration from scratch
that's fair, I'm more pointing out that it's the recommendation because the hub is flaky in HA.
Would I it were only flaky in HA, that I could live with. Right now I've got like a 1% crossover with HA and Alexa each, and the rest of the lighting control is happening in hue proper.
ugh my aliexpress zigbee power meter came and the only video I can find on it is not in english
serves you right for buying chinesium crap.
Guess you need to learn Chinese
it's not in chinese lol https://youtu.be/KTOYYBcwqQA?si=zZkuOQGO5hxU3UEP

seriously, I would NOT stick any shady devices from china into my installation.
Serious Nephew Thomas move.
My rule is to never use any cheap rock candy mountain device that runs directly off mains power. Anything that uses low voltage is OK, because I can install my own PSU that I trust, but not anything that does it's own power. Never.
Can it now? I distinctly see an L and an N on there. That's not the usual markings of a 5V device...
CE, RoHS, AND Grüner Punkt. I'll eat my keyboard if it really has ANY of those certifications.
infact I think I can run it off the thermostat wire lol
guys can you move over to #zigbee-archived or #hardware-archived
Nah, this is definitely off-topic.
I have two cheapo zigbee relays running off my doorbell power. they been running fine.. as long as it's not something inside a wall.. like I would never put a sonoff behind a light switch lol
get zigbee.. be part of the movement
I've got some hacked Ikea plugs running some lights in my house, but they're essentially certified devices outfitted with different connectors, not no-name brandless stuffe.
I dunno.. i don't see ikea being any better
that shit is probably made on the same line as every other tuya thing lol
Dude... Ikea is an European concern with liability and accountability, and not some shady back-yard seller in shenzhen.
dosen't mean they are not made on the same assembly line
every leary thing I have bought over the years still has yet to fail. still won't put them behind a wall switch or anything but it has made me not be so picky about brand names as long as it's something someone else has had and tested
You do you mate. I won't judge. It's not my house neither.
with today's inflation.. it's hard to judge period lol
@tidal bronze uh oh, you finally got caught on camera. https://youtube.com/shorts/mlf6ld1v3M8?si=XWj4is8afTSqSfbG
In 2018, a woman aboard a flight from Denver to Milwaukee was spotted giving a pedicure to the man with whom she was traveling.
I wouldn't expect anything less from middle earth
So glad that I don't fly anywhere close to those places

oh is that so common place to you that it's now boring? lol
Hmm not really wrong setting for beef. Good steak comes with chopsticks. I will pass.

aka - My Home Assistant Green Setup Journey Okay, @code-in-progress is really only marginally responsible for my broken toe, but it was part of the process of setting up my Home Assistant Green. As of posting this, I’m 2 weeks away from being recovered from this broken bone. And so far, it’s the only bone broken!! 🤞 “Wait, our community manage...
why would go sd card? dosen't the green have emmc?
Yeah, it's just a general thing.
I am disappointed that this post does not contain an x-ray of your foot
Some people see the cheapest SD card and are like THAT'LL WORK, and it just...doesn't well, lol.
lmao tbf, I don't even have those.
The doctors hide them from me, all I get to see is the notes.
yea but your post kind of made it sound like they should go the sd route..
LOOK HERE SIR JUST READ THE STORY

IT IS NOT THE POINT LOL

I even tagged you in my edit now. 😄
lol
For real though, how do you think they train the dragons for this show?

Hi guyes, any of you know a good place to talk about a diy project i would like to talk about, powerwall ?
Do it yourself 🙂
I want to start small and try to build one from scratch , want to do some research first and listen to some guys who have some expierence with it
Yea, I'm suggesting the #diy-archived channel
Ah thanks, looked over it …
@shy notch nice to meet you!
@forest edge your favorite place
I should have went in the 80's

Story of my life.
Hello, I'm setting up TrueNAS Scale for the first time, can someone help me create a pool?
I have 3 18TB HDDs, and one crucial P3 Plus 1TB Nvme to use as cache. I want to set it up as RAIDZ1. but there's way more options than is shown in all the tutorials I watched.
https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scaletutorials/storage/createpoolwizard/
I tried to read the docs but didn't find anything about what is Log, Spare, Metadata, Dedup
Provides background considerations and a simple tutorial on creating storage pools in TrueNAS SCALE.
I mean this isnt exactly a truenas focused server
You could just head over and ask them instead
Oh, didn't know they had a server, thanks
that bios and microcode update did something
did you do something that you'd need high clocks for?
I don't do anything else from before
yea, but is this better because it's sane clocks, or worse because it doesn't clock high?
not sure, I just hope it doesn't corrode
keep in mind that 13700k is already a replacement 😅
that's a lot of peanut butters.
looks to me like they only have 1 peanut butter out of 930
What is the recommended daily allowance of peanut butter? That's gotta be prepper levels
You can live off peanut butter, technically.
you would eventually get scurvy
Eh. What's a little malnutrition?
Throw in some jelly every now and again
I love marmalade. It gets a bad rap
I was a Paddington fan from childhood
It probably contributed
I have a big stuffed one

ok i do not like the new opnsense dashboard
so far so good on that aliexpress tuya zigbee clamp meter
👋
Hahaha
I have yet to update, but others seem to also dislike the new UI
No spoiler emojis!
That’s just my mood. Not a spoiler
I guess I'll have to watch the whole thing again in 2 years to remember what happened
Better than the 10+ years and counting for ASOIAF
GRRM found it distasteful that fans were afraid he'd die before he finished the books. They're not crazy, though
I have no idea what was happening in the last book
And I doubt I'll start over at this point. Maybe when I retire
Wow... 13 years
WTTOAAK?
I mean, how many times can I take the Red Wedding
GRRM has the book finished and will release it with his last will. Just to spite the haters
this third party opnsense integration seems to get neutered more and more every few months
What does that even get you? Presence detection based off of dhcp?
Lol, could pull a Wu-Tang Clan and release one copy
I need to rewatch game of thrones.. I seriously don't remember what castle was what in hotd, aside from kings landing and dragons keep? if that's even what it's called
I take it @tidal bronze was depressed since this was the season finale. couldn't bring himself on here tonight to talk about the cgi sock puppets
interface details mostly
use to get all kind of crap crom machine information to firewall rules and the ability to control them via HA
the ability to update opnsense from ha was nice
Perfect.
Sid's visible everywhere?
HAOS setup wouldn't let me move forward with the setup because I had the username using caps, but it still created all of those
I don't even know how to fix that
Settings, People, Users tab. Select the user and choose Delete User…
When I go to Settings>People there isn't anything else 💀
Nuked, and restarting
I’m half expecting them to release something in 2 years that’s a 5 year skip in the Westeros timeline. Make us figure out what played out in the meantime.
I’d be done with hbo at that point.
I don't think they'll skip a big dragon battle
does anyone have experience with creating a user-install-only Discord bot?
if my understanding is correct, the main communication channel in this case is DMs with the bot, but you can't start the DM channel since the bot is not your friend and the bot can't start talking to you because there's no event to say that the application has been authorized in an account. if so, how exactly does the user start interacting with the bot?
If the bot is in a server and you have it set to accept DMs from that server, that should be a work around. should
For example, I am in another server that had a bookmark feature with its bot. It would send a DM with the details of that post you bookmarked. But if you didn't have DMs open, it would tell you.
i would want to create the bot/app as only installable in a user account, not on servers/guilds
the trouble with that approach is that i can't message it, as it does not appear in my DM list and the bot can't message me, since there's no event for "some dude added your robotic ass" which the bot could leverage
Maybe the next season will just open with the GoT credits and it will jump right into the reboot of that.
You can dm them even if they aren't your friend
hence, unless the bot is also guild installable and installed on a server where the user also is, from where the user can initiate the DM, i don't understand how stuff could work 😅 pretty sure i'm mis-using something, but i don't know what
You may not even need to share a guild with them anymore as interactions are no longer bound to guilds they are members of
how? i can't find the bot by name when I search in the DM search box
It's on the app drawer thing
Without the bot being present at all you can do that through install links
i'll DM you privately so we don't spam here
Well it's ot but sure ^^
You could create a thread here too. OT without producing spam.
Pretty much that happened ^^
I don't know why I am like this, but here's a novel update from this weekend. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-code-in-progress-broke-my-foot/755901/7

From a friend in another server.
Mine's a bit crispy underfoot right now:
isnt that around 50F? lol
2.2C (36F) at the house, still slightly below freezing further downhill in the garden
Garden got to -2.6C (27.3F) on the 4th when that other one bottomed out just below 1C
One thing I do like about living on an island in the southern hemisphere, this is about as cold as it ever gets
lol freezing in august
tbf, they are in winter.
so that's where that expression comes from.. cold day in hell
holy shit.. talk about the ultimate bachelor pad. https://youtube.com/shorts/Eul4iditATY?si=T2Or8qYUSv95aUkO
gotta be fake
I've always kinda wanted to do what some people do and buy an old non-airworthy passenger jet and convert that into a house in the woods somewhere
planes in those kinds of conditions would be loud as hell when the rain starts
Also this, in which these people chose the cockpit for their bathtub 😄 https://edition.cnn.com/travel/people-living-in-planes/index.html
I am drowning my sorrows
is that vegas?
Yep 😢
the 40 million swimming pools kind of gave it away lol
All down there needs therapy, 111 and in outside. 🤣
my friend in jersey goes there all the time, tells me you gotta watch each step you make or else you may fall into a body of water. rather it be a pool or a fountain thing lol
I still need to get to vegas
it's pretty far down but it is on my bucket list
Inside and drinking with the AC. Smart.
Always. Wife wanted to take me to a birthday dinner at this Thomas Kellar joint. Me happy.
Here just for dinner.

Never in the summer.
I think he goes there sometimes towards the end of winter or something. not even sure when the worst time to go (in terms of packed tourist etc)
Summer us great to get reservations at all the hard to get in eateries, else winter.
he has a friend who lives there so he's able to stay a few weeks and just hang out. I won't have that luxury lol
I still want to get on a cruise ship before anything tho.. either to alaska or to @umbral cliff 's nightmarish country lol
when your younger it's easy to know why you may live there. or if you just like all the lights and glitter in general
Lmao. Yes vegas 110 is definitely better than middle earth 85. Still
it really dosen't feel super horriable outside
It's been raining for two hours here in 90+ temps and somehow humidity is still only at 36%
thin air
It also probably started at like 11% humidity
but I don't have that recorded for some reason...
you need a new steamer..
Kelvin?
not the *F ake unit
when the outside air looks like that scene from Now you See Me when they use the strobe lights to make the rain appear to just float standing still, let us know lol
Centigrade (later Celsius) was proposed 1743. Fahrenheit proposed in 1724
which one's real now, huh?
they made something so bad they had to replace it
Isn’t that how beef jerky is made?
2000m elevation?

it's already measured in the standard way based off of some dead king's foot, why do you have to go and make it confusing
I’m American. I speak freedom units too, but my wife is a science teacher.
Outside of cooking I use metric for as much as I can. All my 3D prints are metric, when I cut wood I measure it in cm
Cooking must not include much baking?
I went to school to be a mechanic and you better know the difference between the units when you’re trying to fix a variety of vehicles.
yea but good luck finding a metric set of measuring cups in the US
🤣
Fahrenheit better states how something feels than C imo.. better for outdoor temps but C works good for monitor object temperatures
you can do it with a ruler, thats all the fun about it
Fahrenheit has the advantage of 100F being right around the boundary between hot and fucking hot.
Australia is nice
I feel I have good reference points for C and F and can work in either fine, but most people around me only know F.
hold on while I measure 40 cubic cm of water
well 32F doesn't feel like 0 as celsius puts it. 0F feels like 0 lol
see! thats how it works
It does for me
especially as it translates to l as 1 to 1000
I'm completely proficient in metric, I know how it works, lol.
-40 is a nice common ground for far, far too cold
go outside more at night is about all I can say to that
how many large boulders the size of a small boulder is this 3x4 washing machine sized hole
to be fair you can translate spatial dimensions into volume into weight in Imperial measurements too, it's just a clusterfuck
I use wolfram alpha for that shit
Is it tiny European washing machines or freedom washing machines?
it depends, we usually wash cars in the larger one
my washing machine is 6.7cu ft I think
I don't have cubic conversions memorized though
You call the carwash a washing machine?
it technically is
yea but do you actually call it that
That'd be a cultural difference I could believe
Ping me if you want a cruise line recommendation

is your experiences recent cause just randomly reading stuff here and there make it sound like that buisness is nothing like it was prior to covid
Quit lying to us, we won’t fall for your tricks.
they have "friendly" roos
Australia always looked like a crust of nice around an island of hell
they totally want to be pet
Just prior to covid. Seabourn. Much smaller ships, which can get into smaller harbors with smaller crowds.
Like I know there are a lot of cool people there, but like the entire continent is about things killing other things.
its one of the strangest animals, similar to bnuis
how can they be this large and just hop around all day, as if it wouldnt be extremely energy inefficient
it's all the roids they take
I don’t know about as pets, but roo isn’t bad as dinner. Needs to be cooked only to rare or it gets too tough.
granted I don't imagine the ice packs being like what we would see on commercials etc but would smaller boat really be as safe? I picture the route taking us deep north.. john snow kind of shit
HOW WAS THERE THE PERFECT GIF FOR THIS???
yea you can't buy kangaroos because you can't buy steroids and the kangaroos need steroids to stay buff so they can hop all day
its the gov at it again
first they take the coke out of the coke
and now the roids out of the roos
No, I’m talking south from Anchorage (Seward) to Vancouver. Ship is plenty big enough to be safe. Glaciers too far off. You can get a tour on an inflatable if you want to be scary close.
roo roids sounds like something an Australian Wonka factory would produce.
I’ve never heard anything more true in my life.
I thought they were vegemite down there?
or that stuff
oh no, I don't want to just see the south part of Alaska I want to go as far north as they can.. BUT on a ship.. I have not looked into what is available or not but it's always what I pictured
Marmite is a brand of it, iirc.
may have to do an iceland or greenland thing if alaska cruise ships can't go for enough north

Yeah, Vegemite is the Aussie version of "dead yeast paste". That version of Marmite (separate and distinct from the UK version) is from there in NZ
people eat some weird stuff
I’ll stick to the somewhat larger local fauna
I really miss how Anthony Bourdain educated people about the weird shit others eat.
Not Andrew Zimmern?
The episode of Archer he did was pretty hilarious
that guy ate a raw seal's eyeball if I remember right
Sounds chewy
I do believe you remember right.
I can see some things.. cultural type stuff and I suppose vegemite falls into that somewhat but it was originally made from just eating the crap left over from producing beer i think lol
I don't see how that stuff sticks around in a world with literally anything else
Tried it once, spit out my first bite

When trying to hide things, I find the best thing to do is always to draw attention to yourself
Alcoholics trying to hide their addiction aren't behaving rationally from the onset

Nope. Not at all. The people are way braver than I am. @umbral cliff included.
Spoiler alert: They are face huggers. lol
The largest (huntsmen) are literally your friends too lol
They just want to eat bugs
Yes but like how do they keep getting inside your houses???
Duh, they have spider doors
I, for one, welcome our 8-legged brethren
they don't call it the down under just cause it's geographical location. being there put you down under as well
Through gaps, leaving doors/windows open, etc
The usual things
The baby spiders are almost invisible, then they can grow up inside your house
Millions and millions of them. Man I never want to uncover one of those nests again.

no just no no i am noping out just no!
well heres a thought, i wonder if we could call aqara the apple of smart home hardware
Well, they aren't super expensive so that's one thing that isn't like Apple. 
but their hardware design is wonderful
and they use a few lock in tactics like aqara devices only on aqara hub
I do enjoy it. Though I do wish the magnets in the contact sensors were stronger. 🤣
the ikea contact sensor doesnt even have a magnet 😭
which one do you have? the zigbee or the thread one?
https://www.magnetshop.com/neodymium-block-magnet-35ne323232-ni.html this one has 22lb of pull force, should work well for ya.
The Zigbee ones. You can see my experience with them in this long word vomit post.
if i ever feel confident enough to take apart my ikea sensor im doing this
wired contact sensors seem to bethe best imo
That’s not accurate. You can use Aqara Zigbee gear with most coordinators.
Yes, but what I meant by that was that you can't connect ZigBee devices from other brands to an aqara hub
My wording was poor on that one though
Ahhhhh correct. lol But, why would you buy an Aqara hub in the first place? 😉
if all you had was aqara it would make sense. I believe you get additional options using it and thier app
ugh my spacebar is my keyboard next victim..
one thing i hate aqara for doing is marketing their zigbee devices as matter compatible but then saying that you need a hub to use matter with those devices... wasnt the point of matter somewhat to get rid of brand-specific hubs?
I don't think just any coordinator can use the thread portion of matter devices that support it
matter seems really complicated when you look it up. I had originally assumed those devices were suppose to support both out of the box but that dosen't seem to be the case from what I been reading. more so the zigbee part of it seems really complicated cause it's nowhere near plug and play yet
gotta like use beta firmware for the coordinators just to "test" it out.. not actually guarantee compatibility
Womp womp
You betcha
YIPPEE
There is one of those comics that sum that up well
This release is so big I'm expecting bugs... still, I'm gonna hit that update button now even though I usually wait til at least .1 😛
Hue equally guilty
oooh my plant sensors arrived (light, moisture, nutrients, humidity, etc) .. good timing 🙂
but they dont publicly and constantly advertise their devices as matter compatible (because theyre not, and half of the aqara products arent either)
but aqara does say, for example, that their new FP1E sensor is matter but thats only if you have the aqara hub as a bridge
I love when new gear is instantly detected!
what protocol are they
xiaomi BLE
Does it matter?
Wow my db migration is still going. 4h40m
What madness of a db is this ^^
Mariadb, I didn't even think it was that bad! I had it set to keep a year of data though. I actually just changed it down to 180 days.

Yup... a little longer than that now! Hah

This is for DIY
It took 12 hours. Don't be a tecnobrat, don't set your recorder to be a year of data. I made a bad assumption and I had to pay for it 😛
@hot ridge I only keep 60 days
You don't even need 60 days. The long term storage will handle past whatever you put here. That was my bad assumption.
LTS don't retain all sensors so there's plenty of data you won't have. Anything that isn't a number for instance
if you want to keep that data, use a proper timescale db
One small boi vs one big boi 🙄
big boi is better 😉
you convinced me! 😅

Pushbutton with peanut butter on it, and a raccoon
Yep. I challenged myself to live with a single day of data. Forgot about it. Remembered the challenge. Check if I lost important things. Nope. 🤣
Never going back. One day of data it is for me. I have years of long term statistics. It’s pretty much perfect.
I swapped back to the default of 10 days -- but I had it at 365 before upgrading, and my migration took like 12 hours, LOL -- lesson learned, HA has LTS and it works great.
Yeah 10 days is also fine of course ☺️
I incorrectly didn't know there was LTS and assumed this was the only storage I had .. welp .. thats was dumb 😛
So you never read the bio on my profile, huh? lol
i'm more likely to break bones if any of my zigbee devices keeps dropping out... it's a calculated risk

any of you guys know your way around ipv6
i lost my copy paste config for docker and have no idea what to do lol
so if i understand this right https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/ipv6/ i need to think about an fc00::/64 i like for the fixed one and then use whatever fe80 i want as docker network one?
or can/should the default bridge also be an fe80 of my choice
gross
IPv6 D:
I should look into properly getting a subnet again...
Failed to set it up properly when I switched to a proper router and din't bother so far
its mostly just for it to not hide ipv6 connections behind the host ip
i settled on going with fd00:<hex ipv4>:<increment>::/64 as name
that probably is unique enough to not collide with anything on accident
its just really ever relevant for the proxy
after its a string over ipv4 anyway

https://github.com/netham45/screamrouter
Been working on this for a few months to act as a whole-house audio router. It's nearly complete for what I was imagining a 1.0 release to be.
It's got a HomeAssistant component too https://github.com/netham45/screamrouter/blob/main/Readme/homeassistant.md
about time you done something useful around here
I'm not all just noise
Oooh I’m gonna have to check this out, maybe something will finally displace my Snapcast setup
But does it do pulseaudio 
It'll take an RTP stream from pulse if you set the mtu right
https://github.com/netham45/screamrouter/blob/main/Readme/rtp-source.md
It ignores the rtp header and assumes the input format though.
The header is annoyingly vague on things like sample rate anyways
Pipewire pls
https://docs.pipewire.org/page_module_rtp_sink.html
pipewire has an rtp sink too
just set the mtu on it to 1164 and format to S16LE/4800kHz it should work
I've got ESP32 toslink out and USB audio out working, I was planning on making ESP32 toslink in and USB audio in adapters at some point too.
Then it should work with things like the PS5 and home entertainment systems
But I'm not sure most consumer wifi routers will handle PCM off of an esp32
UniFi sure couldn't
Does this maintain player synchronization? I'm reading the processor doc and it doesn't mention it exactly
Oh there is a delay config
What is the actual latency on a screamrouter setup?
I'm planning timestamp-based sync but I don't have it in yet. The latency is low enough to watch movies and tv by but I haven't directly measured it. I expect <20ms based on how the buffers are configured, though.
Excluding my cell phone I've had audio for everything at home going through it for a while now, including my 7.1 setup in my livingroom.
My plan for timestamp-based sync is to sync all the clients over NTP to the main router and put a timestamp on the packets for them to wait until for playback. I just haven't got to it yet.
NTP should be able to get it within a couple ms which I'm hoping is close enough to get rid of the stadium speaker delay effect.
Latency is why the unifi APs were not working for me, I had to have like a 4 second buffer for them to be generally stable and even then sometimes they'd drop out for 20s.
@tidal bronze mowed, cut some baby trees and some limbs today, you should have been here to help. it was 72F for most of it and cloudy.. you had no excuses!!
Should I get a "real" diy alarm kit or should I make something work with Alarmo?
It depends.
I can do 72
I’ve got two DIY alarms. The main weakness is anyone with a bag of treats can bypass them.
I use Konnected. Wired only. Don’t bother with wireless sensors unless your house isn’t wired up and you can’t run wires
Konnected is running esphome and all the logic is with Alarmo. I’ve accidentally tripped it a bunch of times and it always worked.
🤔 what makes you assert the 2nd part?
With Snapcast I was able to get a 1s buffer to work over WiFi, I can do 64ms with all hardwired
I know Snapcast doesn’t work very well on systems that don’t provide an accurate enough clock
ive had only good experiences with wireless and anyways i cant wire anything. my biggest problem with alarmo is integrating a keypad and a siren, both of which i have been having trouble finding
It’s all good until people use a WiFi jammer which is pretty much always
Not sure if they started jamming zwave yet but that’s probably the safest bet for now. You can use any siren, Honeywell makes them. Just need a 12v relay. Keypad can be your phone. What do you need a keypad for?
What
If you triggered It on accident
How do you know it worked every time?
Not just every time it worked
the other people who will need to use the alarm dont like the home assisstant app
completely possible that zwave jammers exist though since its a widely used standard in home security
Because I would know if it didn’t trigger
The app or the interface? You can build a really nice dashboard using custom themes and kiosk mode. You can do the same with a tablet and mount it. Konnected sells 12 to 5v adapters you can power it with over existing alarm wire
could i use said honeywell siren to make different sounds for exit countdown, entry countdown and siren?
using a bt speaker would be better for custom type sounds imo when used for automations
or a very old sonos
No it’s a single tone horn
You can use anything that is a media player entity to do this you can also send custom notifications to phones and embed sounds as long as the sound files are on the device
I easily beat both of those but I did have to buy a rather expensive AP to do it on wifi.
I do zero encoding for pcm streams. Just volume adjustment and equalization
I run like 10ms of buffer on devices just to handle jitter
It's low enough I have all of my TV/movie audio going through it with no delay on video and I can't tell
CEC between my TV and my AVR was really buggy so getting that out of the chain was a decent win.
I made esp32/raspi usb transmitters that will act as usb sound cards on PCs/PS5s and transmit to the router yesterday, waiting on some toslink receivers so I can do the same with toslink
I want to make a normal line in esp32 to router adapter too, will probably use an esp32s3 with a usb line-in adapter over bothering with reading line in off an I2S sound card and having to roll my own PCBs for them
I've got these ESP32-A1S dev boards I actually have that working with but the audio quality of their analog captures is absolutely awful so I wasn't going to bother posting it
ive never tried this exact product, but i remember oogling it years ago: http://rose.com/products/rackview-a
its basically a laptop (minus the cpu) in a 1U rack-mount
for my main server (home assistant, plex and nas), i "solved" the problem by just plugging it into my main tv, and using it as the frontend for plex as well
and if any problems occur, i can just ctrl+alt+f1
yeah
at one time, i had serial console on my server rigged up, by just running a null-modem from the linux box to a windows box
so i could run putty over vnc on windows, to access the linux box
one day, the windows box had a PSU failure, a very weird one, power/hdd LED was dimly on
it pulled the tx pin low, and spammed the BREAK signal to the linux box, which spammed /var/log/dmesg
that pushed the aging hdd over the edge, and resulted in a double kill 😛
oh, i just remembered something, let me find the link
Taking a look at terminal servers for my homelab — terminal servers let you hook up multiple serial devices to one central access hub. We'll start with the MRV Secure Console Server I've been using for about a year, then build out a Cisco 2509 terminal server with an octopus cable. We'll also experiment with hooking up a modem to Cisco AUX ports...
this box has ~8 serial ports, and an ethernet port
so you can get out-of-band serial console access to everything in your rack
same, i just have "rack" mountable gear, in a stack, on plastic shelving
I got a lapdock to use on headless servers but the stupid thing's build and design quality is so poor I never want to use it.
anyone good with recorder and maria and influx?
We have 48 port ones at work
Most of our core switches, firewalls, etc are plugged into one of a handful of those we have around the facility
We have a bunch of 8 port ones that all of our switches are connected to for OOB management
Has saved our asses a few times
Only way to get into them to down a port when somebody makes a loop
120w isn't that bad. Could be better if you put money into it but at that low draw I don't think I'd be looking for new hardware if what you have works.
I know one guy who got his down to like 15w but he spent many hundreds more than I would have on a non-standard PC that was running a high-end mobile processor.
ive got a dual socket xeon as my router, it just guzzles power, lol
I moved from a dual xeon T420 to a single 5700g last year, it'll pay itself off some time next year.
Dropped average usage by like 250w
My main HA server takes about 100w idle and the server I dump backups to about 60w.
idle wasn't a great word there, I meant it's normal workload which is processing some security cameras and acting as my router and some other stuff
but like not compiling code where it can jump up an extra 120w
my desktop is a i9-13900KS
if i compile on all cores while on the UPS, the UPS just says "no" and turns off, lol
I was able to get my UPS to whine when I was overclocking my GPU but the benefit to power consumption made the overclock make no sense to keep running. Was basically a 100% increase in power draw for a 12% increase in performance.
with my old fx8350 and old ups, the ups would scream at full cpu load, until i turn off one monitor
You might want to get a bigger UPS, lol
yeah
surfing, volleyball.. skateboarding... break dancing? they should just do the opening and closing shows for the olympics and mail gold stars to anyone who signs up for one
I mean, that's basically what austrailia did for breakdancing
I think they'll jump the shark when they start adding eating competitions.
i feel like the special olympics have more heart and effort than this crap they are doing now
It's a platform for a bunch of politicians to try to compare athletic dick size.
The men's finals were pretty great and the women's finals were good
I wonder if snow angel making will debut during the next winter olympics
I wonder how many years swimming in the Seine is taking off those swimmers' lives.
That's actually a soccer player
the problem with the olympics is the frame of reference
so i suggest they have just normal ppl do the events before the athletes just to prove how much better they are
also once the normal athletes have had their go then you bring on the super juiced up no drugs bans athletes to prove just what can done on drugs
@tidal bronze I hear they are going to debut Smash & Grab to the Olympics 2028. way to contribute LA'ers lmao
What's that
Lmao
As long as the box is made with recycled paper.
will likely be a keto box
I saw some of that keto bread in the store earlier today.. pretty sure the plastic bag it was wrapped in had more nurishment
A bigger UPS is always the answer 🤣
Clearly played too much Metal Gear Solid
turns out Apple really really hates replacing macbooks nowadays,
too bad they also couldn't repair mine
so now I have my money back, EU ftw
so they basically gave me a laptop to work on for free, for two years.
and gave me back +500€ because that new mba design was more expensive back then.
this industry is doomed
I worked for a PC repair shop about a decade ago and one of the services we offered was a concierge handling of warranty replacements for devices under warranty, Apple's warranty center was by far the most nit-picky and demanding.
they sure do good work at their repair partner in CZ, I wasn't surprised though that these guys couldn't repair it (twice)
its a intel-like issue
Yea, my experience was they fixed stuff when they fixed it but a lot of stuff got rejected or questioned for pretty trivial or non-existent things.
And if we said the wrong thing to them on the phone they'd demand proof of ownership.
A couple they randomly demanded we take them into an apple store instead of shipping too
Hey everyone!
My name is Viktor and I work as the Open Source Community Engineer at Electricity Maps. As some of you may know we have an integration with Home Assistant and we would therefore like to hear your input about energy consumption and energy consciousness.
If you are interested in sharing your thoughts about this feel free to take the following survey: https://forms.gle/dUCimKZ7D16ZiA279
The survey has already been looked over by @lone dagger and we don't collect any personal information outside some demographic question to help us analyse the results.
You know, this might be one of those instances where you want to enable the wattage limit on your chip. lol
already tried that in the bios, it doesnt help
i know that its toast
Weird. If it's the UPS being over-loaded, limiting power draw would fix it.
i was setting a wattage limit for a different reason, people claimed my PSU wasnt up to the task, and that was the cause of crashing
but then it came out, that the microcode over-volts the chip, and there is permanent damage
Yeaaah. I was very happy to still be on 12th gen when that news came out
this poor thing is under a year old, and i now need to replace it
At least intel will warranty that
i need to contact them over that still
Also, running manual voltage bypasses the issue, so at least there's a work-around until BIOS updates roll out
Hey Leapo, long time no see!
Granted, that'd leave your chip running 1.4v 24x7, but that's better than transients up to 1.9v being requested
Oh, the Intel problem, what a giant mess
manual voltage stops the damage from occuring
but its too late, this chip is already toast, and has frequent crashing
Yeah, that was more of a "if you get a new chip before a BIOS update comes out"
@last cedar AMD has their own mess right now, with their security processor being compromised. Nothing is safe anymore 😦
let me see, where is it in my distro.....
./pkgs/os-specific/linux/microcode/intel.nix
Up side: AMD can patch the issue and it doesn't cause a performance penalty. So, at least there's that.
Mmm, it is a proper mess, seems 9000 series reception has been lukewarm too
...Unless you're on a 3000 series chip, in which case, you're SOL

microcodeIntel: 20240514 -> 20240531
https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/releases/tag/microcode-20240531
the most recent update...
Oh, good to know
Have 3 3600 systems 🤣
What I got confused about with that is the timeline.
AMD's security advisory only appears to have been released 2 days ago, but the microcode that remediates it came out in May.
As such, the vast majority of our servers at work already had the BIOS with that update.
Odd choice by AMD to neglect patching chips that are actually new enough to be on the Windows 11 compatibility list

ah, an issue is already open
Not uncommon for OEMs to be made aware of exploits and release patches long before public disclosure.
This exploit may work on AMD chips going all the way back to Socket AM2, so that's fun...
@severe wadi Wait long enough and maybe you'll wind up with a Bartlett Lake-S replacement:

Seems like we're getting one more generation on this socket

New World Record of Tesla Lightshow !!!
Naturally Made in Finland
Organized by Tesla Club Finland with Tesla drivers from all around Finland and a couple from other Nordic countries to support the effort. THANK YOU everyone who made this possible!
Watch until the end for a short bonus... =)
All good. Had to check in not home.
Did anyone at home even feel it?
No one is home. Wife said didn't notice anything.
I hate when there's not even enough for a DYFI report. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci40699207/tellus
My wife and I always place bets on magnitude and distance.
1st time seeing this. 😆
any of you buy that apollo mtr-1?
no, but I'd love to hear a review. aqara fp2 acting up
I have one but haven’t used it yet.
-# I’m helpful.
did you just get it from their site?
It's always best to let a foot heal before breaking it again
Cold
No I got “review” devices from the Apollo team.
oh
well thats another HA maintenance task i have been putting off for years...finally worked out why my backups are over 3 gig
Rob. That was for the AIR.
they were going to give me some as well but hmm they didnt like to post to the EU 😭
I set up the other two without incident. 🤣
got my backup down to 870MB and managed to keep 6 years of history
Why do you ask about purchasing on the website?
do u guys ever start again with a fresh install and rebuild HA?
i think the last time i did was about 4 years ago I think
cost is adding up quick which is starting to make it less appealing over other options so wasn't sure if there was another source to get it or not
Rebuild?
Yes. I have a few of them. They are pretty good, but I like the MSR-2 for general presence. The MTR-1 is good if you need to track zones or multiple targets.
looking for the co2 aspect
lol I rebuilt the last time about 6 years ago-ish.
Ah, I didn’t go co2 on any of mine. From what I hear, they work well though.
I don't see a lot of diffrence if any between the two
the msr-2 has a co2 option
both are same price as well
The MSR-2 allows for much greater tuning versus the MTR-1.
for presence?
Yup. It’s the way the YAML is written I think.
oh wait, they aren't the same sensor
