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

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 🤣

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).

I want to show y’all a really cool project I’ve been working on.

# zinc inlet

That load time tho 😉 But that's impressive. Nicely done!

torn kindle
zinc inlet
#

thanks!

#

Do you want to know the technical side of how I did this?

real frigate
#

Sure! I don't have a Wii, but you have me curious.

zinc inlet
#

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

real frigate
#

Huh... so almost like a proxy service?

zinc inlet
#

Exactly

real frigate
#

I gotta admit, that's pretty damn clever. Well done.

zinc inlet
#

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

that's fair, I'm more pointing out that it's the recommendation because the hub is flaky in HA.

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?

lone dagger
#

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.

fresh fox
#

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

weak musk
solar zealot
fresh fox
#

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

solar zealot
#

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

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

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?

prisma briar
#

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.

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

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 😛

#

i will so take home the gold

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

prisma briar
#

It's a platform for a bunch of politicians to try to compare athletic dick size.

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.

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

I saw some of that keto bread in the store earlier today.. pretty sure the plastic bag it was wrapped in had more nurishment

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

prisma briar
#

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.

i know that its toast

subtle pasture
#

Weird. If it's the UPS being over-loaded, limiting power draw would fix it.

severe wadi
#

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

subtle pasture
#

Yeaaah. I was very happy to still be on 12th gen when that news came out

severe wadi
#

this poor thing is under a year old, and i now need to replace it

subtle pasture
#

At least intel will warranty that

severe wadi
#

i need to contact them over that still

subtle pasture
#

Also, running manual voltage bypasses the issue, so at least there's a work-around until BIOS updates roll out

severe wadi

#

Hey Leapo, long time no see!

subtle pasture
#

Granted, that'd leave your chip running 1.4v 24x7, but that's better than transients up to 1.9v being requested

last cedar
#

Oh, the Intel problem, what a giant mess

severe wadi
subtle pasture
#

Yeah, that was more of a "if you get a new chip before a BIOS update comes out"

severe wadi
#

yeah

#

linux can also apply microcode updates without a bios update

subtle pasture
#

@last cedar AMD has their own mess right now, with their security processor being compromised. Nothing is safe anymore 😦

severe wadi
#

./pkgs/os-specific/linux/microcode/intel.nix

subtle pasture
#

Up side: AMD can patch the issue and it doesn't cause a performance penalty. So, at least there's that.

last cedar
#

Mmm, it is a proper mess, seems 9000 series reception has been lukewarm too

subtle pasture
#

...Unless you're on a 3000 series chip, in which case, you're SOL

Odd choice by AMD to neglect patching chips that are actually new enough to be on the Windows 11 compatibility list

This exploit may work on AMD chips going all the way back to Socket AM2, so that's fun...

#

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

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

real frigate
#

The MSR-2 allows for much greater tuning versus the MTR-1.

forest edge
#

for presence?

real frigate
#

You can’t tune the energy gates at all on the MTR-1.

#

Yeah.

forest edge
#

they both use the same sensor

#

that don't make sense

real frigate
#

Yup. It’s the way the YAML is written I think.

forest edge

oh wait, they aren't the same sensor
