think decoy is hosting ours. i'm going to let loose farm animals inside his house
what a downer
Please host with that monster and hate
This is the epitome of this community lmfao.
That means nothing. Just want to know if Cabernet is on tap ๐
only going for the booze
Oh no. If not there I will take the bar with me.
host a massive HA meetup somewhere other than california then i'd be interested. till then .. meh
Dude you love CA
Why not 1 and get everyone there.
What if Puddles is there?
How do you meet local people that way? 
BTW support questions allowed at these meetups? @lone dagger
You know Puddles?!
You've almost redeemed yourself
I dunno maybe? I'm not in charge of that. ๐คฃ
I am not a people person you know.
Neither am I.
Oh nice!
๐
which is why it has to be one big meetup
somewhere humid and hosted outside so QF can enjoy it
Ew.
Fuck NO! Please no humidity!
im not even a person
lol
Does beer cause cancer?
Just checking
only for people with a brain. You're safe
Come to the Redmond one.
Got wine?
Yes!
Awesome!
Boxes and boxes of it
We have great wine from WA!
That I agree
But yeah Iโm still trying to get my venue.

The first shot was a bust. Fell through.
Backyard?
What's the mead like up there?
Too early for me to book a flight since I don't know where I will be. But if I am in LA on the 24th will surely see you all there!
AMAZING. Thereโs a store on Bainbridge Island where we bought some locally brewed flavored meads.
Gonna have to find that again, you only just reminded me. ๐
Under 40m from SEA?
@forest edge turning on the lights, just for you
Under? Eh, pushing it lol.
I guess maybe so. I live a little deeper, it takes 45m to get to SEATAC.
Forty meters is pretty close
This is how you know Americans have their own language.
If you do end up starting a civil war soon please use the opportunity to switch to metric k thanks๐
man thatโs another fight i donโt think i want to do ๐๐๐
-# said while Iโm wearing a guillotine hoodie 
People and their metrics
I'm intrigued. Do you lose your head if you put the hood up?
Was talking to my neighbor and he started talking about wine. Instantly rolled my eyes
Did you tell him โsorry some assholes online talk about this dailyโ?
Was planting plants and going on how cool chatgto was in helping them started talking about the future and how it could help with pairing wines to food or something
Chatgtp
I suggest Welch's grape juice with your Spaghettios
I swear when he started naming wines (i think thats what it was) and talking about "flowerly flavor" or some shit I pictured his skin turning green and antenna's growing out of his head
bad enough I have to come back in here and hear about the same shit all over again from you know who
well, we bastardize the one we have at least?
This is how we crash into Mars
well at the current rate how we'll crash into mars is on ships full of indentured servants actually..
You got hope!
Hangout with your neighbor more
by hope you mean bad luck.. it would appear so
That neighbor got good taste.
was wondering if I should call the paramedics.. thought the gibberish was a sign of a stroke
https://maps.app.goo.gl/NrgKGvYdtXbLKKhWA you should visit this place. Only thing that gave me hope in middle earth.
I just sneezed and my Voice Assistant thought I said "okay nabu". hah.
okay own up, who submitted a sneeze to the wakeword collective? ๐
they been adding a lot of diffrent languages to it, sure a sneeze probably fits one of them
My sneezes could blow down the third piggy's house, so that would be interesting waking up 250 smart devices in range
Honest question- do people just โdealโ with inconsistent issues with Zigbee devices? Or is there light at the end of the tunnel. Trying to understand what the good / happy state loooks like?
what do you mean inconsistent?
I have some devices that sporadically reporting data/large gaps of data coming in/devices picking the worse router or just the controller. Been tearing my hair out.
All are third reality which iirc is pretty reliable.
don't put a lot of faith in the "map" layout
make sure your not experincing interference issues with wifi devices nearby or just in general
zigbee takes some trial and error to understand what is going on but once you get things figured out there really isn't much in inconsistency
So when you say map - you mean where it shows whatโs connected to what? ๐ฌ
If I canโt trust that, what should I rely on? LQI?
yes that what I meant and LQI is all over the place. Zigbee takes a bit of time to work out it's mesh. give devices a few days to really iron things out. if a device is still being inconsistent then it could just be a weak signal issue going through a wall or something
not to mention not all zigbee devices are created equal. third reality is a good brand but just saying
were you able to get your eufy lights to work with HA? I cannot find and answer and having the same issue. All I am trying to do is to use a luton pico remote to turn on my string lights and permanent lights that i installed on my pergola. Thanks in advance.
Hmm days? Maybe Iโve been too impatient then. ๐ฌ Iโve had them for a week or two now but I keep trying different things.
yea don't do that lol. put them where you want them and leave them for a few days.. then and only then if you are having issues it's likely something that will require a router device being placed inbetween or something
Hmm okay - Iโll give it a few days. Thanks.
yea like I said, takes a bit of trial and error then you start to understand how to place devices to deal with it's weak signal etc
Hey guys any reccomendations on stuff I can do with 2 vibration sensors?
tell when a dryer shuts off
What is your coordinator @fair axle and integration? Because I've been running Zigbee2mqtt for 6+ years and I've had no such issues
Be very sure that something isn't vibrating
nah, you need 3 to make very sure
Only mildly sure with two?
nah, no quorum. So you might be quite sure, but also quite unsure
my barn router which has wifi, 4 lan ports and has built in 4g was like under 100 bucks yet I cannot find a single fanless pc with the same stuff and the ones that has "some" of the stuff is stupid expensive
like most only have one mpci slot so you have to choose between wifi or cell modem
Schroedinger's sureness
Classic split brain, I see
why wine is so intresting lol
seem like a rather chill topic to talk about
(yes i am french how did you know ?)
๐ท
These days proton is all the hype though
I don't think you are supposed to drink a bunch of those
That's how people get charged
It's just grape juice. Most people don't care which slope the grapes were grown on, or what flavours people pretend to taste in them.
Also... French wine ๐คข Italian wine 
Can taste the different types of grapes though
Things like dry wines, sweeter wines, etc
Is that the grape, not processing? ๐ฎ
And yea, general climate of the region is also noticeable
I don't drink much wine, and I lost some of my ability to tell apart ๐ต due to the 'rona. So I might not be able to anymore. But I wanted to "get into" wine for a while and paid attention to it
It's the processing. It's about how much sugar is left after fermentation. If fermentation was ended before it was all consumed, you end up with a sweeter product.
Clearly there's a variety in the grapes, otherwise we wouldn't have red and white ๐ But the variety doesn't extend to the myriad notes that people pretend they can detect. That's the winemaking, not the grape growing.
There are people who are hyper sensitive to taste and smell, but for the remaining 99.9% of people, wine is wine for the most part
there's a tech company here I visit occasionally that have their own brewery, and it's pretty good stuff. And they give it to visitors for free 
9/10 raccoons can detect a premium wine by touch alone, follow me for more raccoon facts
9 out of 10, not 9 tenths, you monster
Thanks mommy
You have 9 racoons. You look away a sec there are 10 racoons
Good day all home assistant enthusiasts
when?
when? ๐
When are we going
oh lol. Next time there's a rust or julia meetup ๐
We have our own beer^^
Though it's contracted with a large brewery
she's really good at numerical codes. Oh and ASML uses it a lot and they have a lot of money
do they? I che ked at some point, but I don't think they pay FAANG levels o.0
Ah, so there's actually a company using Julia. I thought it was just another esolang.
You know it's still just going to be 3 devs using it, not the whole company.
julia is doing a large part of the numerical computing on the lithography machine itself. So in production
Julia seems to be getting a lot of traction in the environments I deploy
I'd say every 2/5 data scientists are using it from my experience
Finished my 1st home assistant integration.
Me a developer now.
I successfully updated a old dutch public transport api. Added a directon option sometimes the api saw buses going both ways.
And i fixed the outdated attribute code
More hacking than writing from scratch
Perhaps now i can try to make my libvirt integration
I cant say my 1st professional coding vibes. Ifs a state secret.
r/theprimagen letsgoo
next i need to learn to setup a development hass system

not using a random seed right.
--- right???
Imagine my shock when the IT lady meets me in our shop at 7am when they normally don't come in until 8am.
I've been waiting to get my assigned laptop since July, lol.
Dont burn in the screen at the frontpage of some NSFW site
vscode => open in devcontainer => [F5]
can it work with nano?
do you have the receipt they never gave it to you?
there are now 18 racoons
Nah. They finally brought me one. HP ZBook Firefly 16" "AI workstation" like I need a damn ai in a laptop lol
Sorry fell asleep - I mention my dongle here #1371871361588527187 message
yet a other hopeless feature request. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/feature-request-big-zones-rework-a-new-rooms-like-overview-but-then-for-zones-and-ai-capability/889278
I like what home assistant did with the room overview. You make a selection of rooms and all room info is shown. It can really compete with standard google home gui. Can we do the same with zones and what ever zones might contain. people in zone. local weather public transport information All sorts of local sensor information local camera f...
Itโs 2025 you canโt just talk about your dongle in public
I was looking at which home assistant install I should use... and am unclear about a comment regarding install. The docs make it sound like when installing home assistant as a docker container deployment, addons arent supported or something. Does that mean none of the extensions and stuff will work?
I dont know what linux distro home assistant os is based on (if any), but I kind of want to run this and other stuff on top of debian and need to run other containers on this server
That's a #1284966540617449515 question
actually I didnt realize it... googling diff install types gave me more information on supervised installation which I think will be what I want for this use case
Supervised is pretty much been axed
le sigh. I guess I'll just dedicate an entire machine to running the HAOS
Do you have linux?
Just run within libvirt
yep
If only there were a way to run HA in a container.
You don't need addons anyway. They're just... other containers.
Excluding locks.
I mean I'm not gonna lie, I dont even know what all add-ons would be included there... does that mean any integration with any smart home devices, or are addons typically larger than that
Integrations are integrations. They're part of HA.
<I'm just trying to bring this channel back on topic>
Addons are stuff like when silly people want to run Plex inside of HA instead of alongside it where it belongs.
oh weird
But yeah... this is a discussion for a support channel ๐
its water cooler, what is the topic?
Music assistant is the. Best example. Just add the addon and you got a good music server for all your. Needs
ok
Anything but HA

Locks?
I get making the support stuff a forum type scenario on discord, but when asking for advice (that is specific to me MAYBE, seems weird to ask opinions in something liek that)
We had this discussion before and you fell back to none existing functionality
What would Brian Boitano do?
Yeaaah we know. You're only like the 1000th person here to say that
I have no idea what you're talking about.
We wait for the 10000th
Asking advice is support related. You are looking for support on the best installation method for you. ๐
There's a prize for the 10000th, right?!
Ah, I found what you're talking about. The conversation you had with someone else that wasn't me ๐
Yeah it seams.
Because you make no sense ๐
We also had this discussion before
This response was worth waiting 5 days for ๐๐๐
wut?
Was looking for a specific post of mine on bsky but found this instead. Still fucking funny almost 2 years later. https://bsky.app/profile/adorablecyb.org/post/3k6rkhzuknq2f
I just sent this to my stoner neighbor. ๐คฃ
but I'm lazy. ๐ฆ
plus I like having it constantly whining about other stuff runninng in my docker
its my server and I will run my ingress on the same box as my HASS ๐
this is what proxmox is for
i'm aware.. my new server will be using proxmox..
CHEER!
just dragging my feet on finishing it of course.. ๐
how else can you shitpost if theres nothing to shitpost about?!
Believe me, I find a way.
Both Core and Supervised methods are still actively used when developing Home Assistant and will continue to be possible. We just wonโt officially document or provide support for them as recommended methods for production setups. If you know what youโre doing and want to maintain these setups yourself or with community support, thatโs perfectly fine.
actually waait no i'll be fine ๐
my poor old odroid system that I moved on from tho. /s
discontinue official support for two older architectures:
i386 (32-bit x86)
armhf (32-bit ARM hard float)
armv7 (32-bit ARM)
poor thing. ๐
My sister said that to my son last night and I lost it. ๐คฃ
This is weird. I can't seem to connect my Fronius inverter to HA when the inverter has a public IP
I can curl the URL of the inverter from a terminal in ha....
but when I try to add it via the integration, it just says "failed to connect"
It's a real shame this isn't a support channel, else we'd love to hear more about it.
ew. discord threads tho

Chat client with a forum identity crisis ๐
Would you prefer we have the hellscape that is how Slack does this shit?
We just moved to it for work and I have a hate love relationship with it already.
eh - I'm a grumpy old man, I'd rather use IRC ๐
alas, I know its not for everyone
Go on then
@lone dagger Teams, Discord, Matrix, Slack - they're all reinventions of web based IRC
and they're all dodgy lol
I don't mind Slack. As long as people keep to channels/threads and don't spin up a new multi-person DM for every frigging conversation.
Slack isn't for everyone though. It's main benefit is all the integrations that just work.
Good afternoon! Could someone recommend a universal remote control (like the Logitech Harmony) that is integrated with Home Assistant so that I can control TV, Receiver, Apple TV, Cable TV, etc.
We should just use text messages instead of discord
@lone dagger please start abusing your admin rights and collect phone numbers
Iโm very tempted to call that
Hahahahah I just googled it
867-5309
better yet, 5555-55585-5555-SENOR-MORTGAGE-TODAY
Get a leg up on the pile and refinance your dreams at Senor Cardgage Mortgage.
Keep the forum. Bring back chaotic chat channels. Choice!
I'm older than you think. ๐
I'd be out and leave the community to run itself here. ๐
fucking kiddo.
listing "dodgy" apps and didnt even list teams.
could even list it twice.
... as microsoft does
Teams is gross
Teams is in the list ๐
it was the first ๐
but I totally understand why you skipped over it hahahha
so this is really weird.... I can get to https://<public_ip>/solar_api/v1/GetPowerFlowRealtimeData.fcgi in a browser, I can even curl it from the HA VM in a terminal - but the Fronius integration won't connect to it.
but yesterday, when it was on a private IP address, it worked fine - and has worked for over a year
I th ink I'm go ing cr azy
Would you like teams, or new teams
These days we even have outlook, and new outlook
And god forbid you accidentally click the wrong one
My kid, "god you're a smartass." to me. Deservedly so. But I always respond "better a smartass than a dumbass". Lol
its teams or teams for home or w/e
how many develop new integrations directly on haos?
haos.. the only install worth having
I think I figured it out: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/144932
Nah, for a while there was teams and new teams when they were rolling out a completely new app
wasn't there also Teams for Workplaces and Teams for Schools?
probably was
i know for a while there was skype and skype for business (which was really skype and linq)
Actual software engineers can't lose their job to AI. If this person claims that there are at least a few others reasons they're not mentioning ๐
๐
You should see the people who are software engineers who have never touched a keyboard
I know a couple people with a masters in CS that barely do
also, 150k in CA is entry level SWE
They can absolutely be replaced by AI
Yeah, the ridiculous American HCOL paychecks are bonkers
My job would be 2-3x pay in California, and I already earn the country average times two
I'd "only" get 100k more in CA
150k is too much for some of these computer jobs imo
but how would they buy zyber troock and tesler????
most don't. they still live in their parents hand me down car in a walmart parking lot
Sell drugs like the rest of us
Not everyone's dutch
you know whats even easier to replace with AI?
middle managers..
say shit without ever saying anything worthwhile?
That's peak AI right there.
I'd say sales and marketing. But apparently klarna tried and failed 
I'm doing quite well with mine
but he's also TLM and still does some IC work
liar.
Managers don't do work
yea, that's why I like the TLM method over TechLead/Manager as separate positions
I'm basically a TLM, even if that's not my title. I do plenty of work still ๐ฅฒ
Granted, I'm not doing my own work often. It's usually helping other people with how to do theirs. But that's still better than 'managers' in other businesses where they exist just to hold pointless meetings and watch your attendance.
yea, I used to be Manager in a company that doesn't have the distinction
and started in a TLM style position but had to move more and more into management tasks due to... People...
Happy to be an IC again
Though I got my promo ๐ so now I'll have to do some of the stuff again but from an IC position
Mentoring 
would have loved to see these manager jobs you all say that do no work
been a manger twice in my life at two diffrent job types and it sucked
oh they keep busy. They just don't do much ๐
I think non managers just assume managers are suppose to do their job for them in many cases
you must suck as manager if that's what your reports thought
can't you establish expectations at all?
not sure what you mean
whining about metrics isn't actual work*
there is a very large difference between "manager who used to do the job"
and "business ghoul who never did the job"
companies seem to much prefer the latter these days. ๐
meh, only benefit of a manager that used to do the job is the ability to better judge lazyness lol
or having reasonable expectations..
And knowing how to shut the fuck up and go away to let people work
๐
unsurprisingly: a manager standing around staring over your shoulders while you're behind or busy.. does not in fact help
Pretty sure Sonoma didn't go to business school. Hell, I'm not sure he went to any kind.
I would like to see your managers in these countries.. sounds like it would be fun to watch
Yeah, do the whole American superiority thing and act like other countries just don't have their shit together.
Management is management is management.
the very best managers are the ones who ask you what you need to get your work done, then go and chase it down for you, or get out of the way, and keep upper management off your back. Going that route both makes you better at cranking work out, and pretty easily highlights the ones who aren't completing theirs.
Which is the exact opposite of the managers that are just trying to 'judge laziness'.
exactly
Build your team. Don't shit on the ones that need help.
Dog knows some of my reports have their moments... so I help them through and try to give them what they need to not repeat the same mistakes.
this is why I believe Sonoma when he says he was a manager, lol
Just not a good one ๐
in my 25 years of doing tech work, the only people I've ever seen be lazy is management and sales/marketing
Needs a certain seniority in the underlings though
Maybe not seniority, exactly. If you're constantly giving them work that's too far above their skills, you're giving them the wrong work. But anyone, even a junior, should feel comfortable saying they need something.
I mean.. even if they're not a self-starter and need a regular project list to work from, that's still giving them what they need
The worst experience I had recently was actually a senior with a long career. They didn't ever ask for help. Which was fine most of the time, until it wasn't...
yaah
"How's the work going?"
"Fine, I just need a couple of days longer"
A couple of days later...
"How's the work going?"
"Fine, I just need a couple of days longer"
And it turns out they were stuck on something that another dev spotted instantly. Could've saved a week.
Pride, eh?
I'm definitely not guilty of pulling that one, nope
For me it's usually a mental block when that happens
I don't give a shit about asking for technical guidance. But when I'm more stuck on myself than the task... 
OMG. #Microsoft #Copilot bypasses #Sharepoint #security so you donโt have to!
โCoPilot gets privileged access to SharePoint so it can index documents, but unlike the regular search feature, it doesnโt know about or respect any of the access controls you might have set up.

I'm sure we've all done it. But we shouldn't all keep doing it. This guy did, so he wasn't around for long.

I have nobody to ask things to. Ok maybe one guy but he's more of a physicist than EE or control. Fuck me right
No-one at work. What about professional connections outside of work?

Alright so we currently rent but because I'd like cameras in key spots, I had to be creative... two of my five cameras are connected like this:
Wyze Cam v3 with wz_mini_hacks > microUSB PoE adapter > PoE switch > powerline ethernet adapter to my proper network equipment inside
judge me
Can't really use a proper IP camera in those two spots because I can't find a single one that would be small enough

You'll probably find the least helpful people in this channel. They're just here for the shitposting mostly. 
Actually, it is helpful to direct people to the places they're most likely to find the answers they seek.
You'd have to go back a while but I was one of the most helpful people here at one point. Back when I had spare time, more energy, and a more positive attitude toward other people ๐
Now I'm old, jaded and have a child that takes all my time.
Lol the cloud being cheaper than on prem means you're doing it wrong
So horribly wrong
Haven't heard of them
Broadcom go brrrrrr
Which seems like something I need to fix
Hello guys, i have a question
is this also my dashboard that i can use on smartphone or Tablet ?
or is this another one ?
Eh... if you're talking just about the running costs, sure. But cloud means not having your own datacentre staff or paying for replacement parts. Cloud is a net positive most times.
how stable is that hack for the wyze? also the reolink e1 is really not much bigger
yes, they only want big cloud type customers. all other customers can take a hike.
very stable in my experience, even when blocked from the WAN (it has an option to keep the camera from constantly rebooting to try connecting to the mothership)
I have very specific mounting requirements || (giggity) || so only the wyze cam really works
And paying for someone else to have all that plus some percentage on top, so kinda a net negative too, so many companies had costs skyrocket with the cloud
Though it does mean multiple geographic areas without any effort if you need that
It's about utilisation though. You're effectively timesharing the server admins. You're not paying to have them sit around doing diddly fuck until something happens.
Last i checked it was three fold price to do cloud because power is free here
Doing things wrong with the cloud can cost a bomb, sure. We've had the occasional surprise before from misconfigurations ๐
Except you still have admins to handle all your local users and their machines
Lol
Not quite the same.
Double the admins, triple the excitement
Of course we have helpdesk monkeys for our devices. We don't have people that know how to manage an actual data centre.
It can save costs, it can also quintuple them
Exactly. So the argument goes both ways... on prem can cost more than cloud.
It's funny seeing folk post on /r/aws. "Why am I being billed for this EC2 instance? All I wanted was to host a blog.".
Then use S3 and CloudFront and pay nothing.
Lol aws is the absolute worst
How so?
They do things in the most expensive ways
in order to use cloud services right, handle design, security etc you still need admins who know how stuff works...
Eh. Just shift left. Have your devs do all that ๐ซ
DevSecOps is the new trend, right?
no, aws tricks customers into doing things the most expensive ways ๐
And they trick themselves too, prime video being a micro service infra was awful
And they even have a white paper about how bad their own product is
Lambda is hilariously slow
They went monolith to save costs and improve performance
(lambda spins up a brand new container every time you hit it, maximizing latency)
google: yes, we can supply on prem airgapped ai cluster that you can run in your own datacenter. but it must connect regularly to our cloud service
dear google, i don't think you understand the concept of airgapped.
This is true for the hardware too. Our traffic is periodic since most of our customers are in the US. Using a cloud provider, we can dynamically auto scale based on traffic and not pay for machines sitting around doing nothing.
Yup. Scale to zero is the biggest draw, if you do it right.
Not every time but I get your point. You don't put hot paths on lambda if the traffic patterns are unpredictable.
Predictable traffic patterns that are still low enough to not justify a whole server instance... lambda is perfect. And if you don't want cold starts, set a provisioned concurrency. Voila.
There are so many ways you can screw up with serverless but that doesn't equate to 'serverless is bad'.
No, it's just lambda is bad, I'll still go with that considering Amazon prime video couldn't get it to work well
It didn't work for that use case. That doesn't make it bad.
And they're owned by the same company as aws
There are massive fucking swathes of Amazon-owned sites that still run on lambda. Trying to do streaming video through it was dumb.
You know about the whitepaper. You know they didn't turn their back on lambda.
I honestly don't remember much from it other than finding it funny that Amazon couldn't make an Amazon service work well
I might also be bias
I can't make my car fly. Doesn't mean my car's shit. It's the wrong tool for the job.
And yes, your bias is showing. I work almost exclusively with serverless tech but I still don't shit on server admins.
What admin am I crapping on?
Your take reminds me of the crap that was posted all over blogs and Twitter after that whitepaper released. Because no-one read the whitepaper, just the headline.
At best I'm crapping on the devs for lambda
It's okay. We can just agree that you haven't personally experienced some of the things lambda is great at. I get single digit ms response times out of some of mine, barring the cold start (which can be avoided through various techniques).
The AWS business model is to be convoluted enough on their billing that a whole industry of consultants has sprung up so you can pay them $500/hr to pay slightly less to Amazon
(ask me what my previous company did lol)
Then again, we got a CTO there who wanted to move everything to the cloud.. and get rid of our four data centers and hundreds of servers and ~100PB of storage, because he couldn't grasp that we were a cloud provider. Scale affects the cost a lot, too, and at that scale AWS was 3-4x the cost per TB, including personnel costs
We have everything on prem. What I'm working on is gonna burn through all the compute we have
Dividing by zero.
you could generate a whole new set of gotta-have NFTs based on raccoons

Didn't every single NFT company go bankrupt?
Yes, and the links are starting to rot
Anybody pack this up for the Start9 Server yet, by chance?
Really looking forward to that if that's on your radar.
The what
You know....it would take someone probably not very long... - but that's beyond my capabilities.
Been asking for a while can we get someone to make HAOS package to run on the Start9 Pure Server
sounds like a feature request for the forum
then nothing, I guess
I'll check back...1 year
you have a whole year to contribute it yourself ๐
but I use Start9 for several other things
Best I could do was talk to you guys, and the Start9 guys, which I've done.
Up do you folks now! I hope you do it....you'd get a lot more users.
lol or one more.
You know that most of the developers are volunteers right? They all have day jobs too.
It's not really up to us. It's up to the community to build this. ๐
We started long time ago this 9 stuff seems like its later
For example, we're removing official support for a couple installation methods and one community member built something to support those who still want to use those methods.
(or, rather, one of the methods.)
Pretty sure this crypto thing has docker anyway, so HA would just work
I find it interesting that they built their own OS for this. Is the OS built off Docker? I dunno how that shit works. ๐
we did the same
Im not really sure what how this start stuff is, did a quick google and it looks like its a crypto node that you can run with docker or standalone as a dedicated OS.
In both scenarios, I would expect you to be able to run a HA container alongside it.
mmm crypto garbage.
So what you're saying is that things are actually supported to use HA on this server product but it's just not able to HAOS?
Yes, HAOS requires it to be the one and only thing on it, but HA itself as a container you can do wherever you have a container runtime*

Thank you, I learned something today! 
lol, where this endorsement cuts off is exactly where I would have stopped reading anyway:
to the letter
ahhh.. crypto trash ๐
ah it uses the word "sovereign" on its description
so.. its also that sovereign-citizen-grade-crazy too
lemme just stop you right there...
30 min to setup a server???? is this 1994??? do you do it with floppy disks?

Hey guys Iโm new here is this where I get support?
I find it actually pretty good, but like other interns it needs strict instructions
Really itโs more of a simple question
This is why it's awful for new people.
so am i

Funny story. I shittalked Meta every interview I had for this job and stuck my foot in my mouth every time. They still hired me. Wild to actually value differing opinions, even when it's your social media manager who hates social media. 
how to get hired at meta: be willing to torrent on work laptops!
I cannot imagine Guy looking at me like "Missy, your care for this planet doesn't align with our company anymore."
Look at all the free content we can use for training!
Destroying the planet would propably remove social media.
but they also tried to avoid seeding as much as possible.
so hilariously enough-- probably banned from any/every private tracker. 
everyone knows that profit comes from the taking, not the giving

My pointed question was "if you value privacy, why are you on Meta platforms that were specifically fined for selling data to external companies".

"Oh so I can use my rigged fursona right?"
it only took about 10yrs for media companies to be morons with content ๐
My sister interviewed with meta and had no active accounts with them when asked why she said โlook, I know what you do with user data- you should be more concerned if I did have an accountโ
When I was unemployed, I refused to apply for Meta roles.
Did that bite me in the ass? Probably.
But also I wouldn't be here.
I need to stop being lazy and.. finish my new media server with proper zfs array for storage instead of just lazily attaching new drives and etc.. ๐
i bought most of the bits just before tariff idiocy
I just need to...
stop being a bum and finish designing my case and printing it.
๐
I have a fat HD that I just don't use and should probably turn it into a server.
Sitting there, empty.
yeah i only brought 3 drives so far for new server with room for..
13 more?
72f and 72% humidity..
Boy really.. really considering getting the AC going instead right now..
I'd check how much storage I actually have but I just realized my PC monitor isn't plugged in anymore. 
I have a bunch of magnets and platters turned into coasters
From the older drives I did gut
But after a point you don't need more
It's seriously like a dozen or more old drives
i ended up doing it and then tossing most of the magnets on my workdesk's upper shelf support
so I can just.. stick tools to it and etc ๐
I have two zfs pools, old 8tb drives and new 18tb drives, was originally just going to decommission the 8's but they still work and can be my download pool
You guys have backups right
Which is now utterly overkill for incoming data
Yes for all my mission critical data
And hard to get back media
ugh I don't wanna plug in my monitor for you all. ๐คฃ
but you're making me want to tell you my number!

Cant you login from your phone missy?
Into my PC? No.
I can only count to four! ๐ค

Can I get this from you when my Samsung finally fully dies? 

It's okay, we don't use the remote for ours. ๐คฃ
We use our Soundbar remote and everything else is the Xbox.
Oh yeah this is a baby drive all things considered.
3.6TB.
All drives are good drives, except the dead ones
That sounds like a drive for ants
You're a drive for ants
and their little ant movies and such
Yeah I looked at that number and was like "yep, that is not a media server size."

So I guess I'll just have it sit there with nothing on it some more.
All media servers start somewhere
My original media server was 2tb when it started
Though I guess I kept media on my laptop at 320gb before that
Hey 2009 wasn't that long ago
I still have the external case that drive was in since it's esata capable and that wasn't super common (and still isn't)
Yep, I knew most of these numbers were going to come from a decade ago.
It'll hold a lot of music and audiobooks too
You're worse than some women, Steve.
I turn 40 next month and I am quite happy with this.
So what you mean is I need to pump those numbers up?
Lol I'm not that old yet

I didn't want to overcomplicate it with moving to truenas though considering how much I have setup in unraid and how well it runs otherwise
I want these lights for outside, but they don't mention anything about being waterproof. would a silicon tube be sufficient, or is it too risky?

The effort some people put into harassing others, I fucking swear.
I think they're just damaged.
I wish the IP block in Discord worked better.
Most people who hurt others for the lulz are damaged.
Sometimes they can't help it. But recognizing it and working on being better is the key here.
They have failed at that process, clearly.
Have you ever played call of duty online? Or league of legends? ๐
No, because those people are toxic af. 
I am a woman, do you really think I like playing with those fuckheads?
They are not even good at it.
-# Pathetic
What if I just torment them for the lulz, like I do with poor jorg?
atx you're damaged even without doing that.
(tbf, I am not sure I know anyone who ISN'T damaged in one way or another...)
its okay. Because I have indian food
I hate this so much because he's very obviously autistic and he'd pass a test with flying colors for it.
Though he was a good example to point to when my family was like "HAHA MISSY YOU LIKE YOUR COUCH SPOT, TOO."
Are you really passing such a test or are you really failing it
Jokes on you, fuckers, that's because I TOO AM AUTISTIC.
Everything is fine unless the flag is upside down.

Considering the goal is getting a label, I'd argue being diagnosed is passing.
So if I get 299 on a 300 test, I have failed the autistic test, and I have to redo it?

If I fail it 3 times, do I have to have a quarantine period of 6 months?
I think that depends on country, tbh..

I did an autism test, but failed ๐คก
Best regards a guy who did 30+ certifications in less than 3 years, and is definitely not autistic at all
Legitimately, the state of testing for autistic humans is just so fucked that undiagnosed autistic people are just as valid as those formally diagnosed.
Formally
Formally, yes.
As in, medically.
As in, you have a piece of paper that says "this person is autistic".
Written by a neuropsychologist.
My autistic drivers licence
I see
Licence and registration please
NO

Also both my daughters have something diagnosed, if my wife makes a sound, I start repeating it, then both my daughters do
Echolala or what not
Yeah, if you walk like a duck and sound like a duck, you're probably a duck, atx.

Good think you aren't a tiktoker or you'd write *uck and I wouldn't know if it was fuck or duck, or heck cuck

the definition of autistic has changed a lot. A lot of people who are 'highly gifted' intellectually are also classified as autistic now. While that group is very different
Thanks hunny
the Webster's English Dictionary defines autistic as oh wait, there is a picture of missy here
๐

Nah they arenโt much different outside of having different needs. Itโs a spectrum, just like ADHD. In fact thereโs stacking evidence that suggests ADHD and autism are indeed the same spectrum.
Lies my diagnosis is noting near missys picture
The definition changed well over a decade ago and includes women - which it very much didnโt before. But weโre still stuck in this โautism looks one wayโ thing.
The number of diagnosis of autism has increased by around 20x compared to 1990. That's not just because we got better at diagnosing it, but the definition changed
You meet one autistic person, youโve only met one. Every autistic person is unique.
I'm thankfully highly functioning enough to be able to work with all people, I have a gift of infiltration and deception
The definition did not change. The name did.
Aspergerโs = Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1
We were always there.
No, sorry.
Asperger and autisme are diffrent because one was based on diagnosing children the other adults. As fair i remember
Negative.
No?
Afaik, the name "Asperger" isn't in clinical use anymore.
There are several degrees of autistic disorders according to the DSM-5.
I rather stay by my introduction of the dutch autisme institute than some wikipedia pages. I know so many that are wrong.
Is that one of the codecs vlc supports?
Iโd rather go by the DSM-V which is where they got the source from but you do you I guess.
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders = DSM (version 5)
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems = ICD (version 10 - edit: there is also a version 11 available now)
The inititual research started with kids at one and adults with the other
But can DSM-V run on RISC-V now, that is all I need to know
And Europe isnโt great when it comes to mental health support as a whole. Itโs the one thing America does decent at.
Yes
Great
There is no history described in the dsm

Im preparing for a 2.30 trainride tomorrow. Going to sneek.
Neither the DSM nor the ICD are meant to keep track of history.
Those are inventories according to the present state of science/medicine.
You would love my get up at 0400 and fly and work and fly back home again so I go to bed at 00 then@crisp oriole
Fly to work?
Yes
When it is 1600km away
I hope its hybride
When i worked in apeldoorn and lived in amsterdam. I travelled a lot
The fact is that Aspergerโs as a diagnostic term is not used anymore, but was used just over a decade ago and a lot of people (read: men) who were diagnosed with it still call themselves that. I run into it often. There is no adult/child distinction.
Yes then autisme was based on kids or counter visa.
One did research on kids the other on adults. Initually
I looked at what that is youโre talking about and cringed a bit. My government is talking about an autism registry for the same โresearchโ reasons except itโs definitely not gonna be used the same. 
YES YES I DO
Dutch government gona drop a special test for ass peeps who want a drivers licence
Because there was 0 proof peeps with autism are not better drivers
It was like can you multitask and questions like that.
omfg
It's a WRITTEN test even? Not a DRIVING test????
I got 100% on my last driving test and impressed the RETIRED POLICE OFFICER by using my mirrors to reverse around a corner instead of turning around.

No oral
150 euro for a talk and a drugs test
Me, days ago: I want to move to the NL.

Food discourse: Do you pull string cheese or bite it when you eat it? ๐ง
I used to pull it apart. Now I don't. I have no idea why. 
The closest to that I have eaten are Babybel
Maybe that's why I changed, lol. I started eating Babybels, too.
Do they still use factorio to test? /s

A matter of factorios
Just discovered thingino which is an open-source alternative firmware for cameras that use certain Ingenic SoCs... time to move over to that from wz_mini_hacks I think
hm, neat
wish I had heard of it sooner
gasp
its almost like that..
openIPC thing
Except they tell you what fucking cameras you can use with it outright.
Supported devices: You tell me!
no openIPC is
"Here's a list of supported SOC's!"
... Thanks fuckfaces! that isn't fucking useful in the slightest to me.
tbf you could search for cameras with the listed SoCs
yeah; except its never just that straightforward.
most cameras don't just tell you their SOCS
mood
they'll advertise based on the sensor.. but usually not the SOCs
yeah I suppose that's true
I've had a good experience with wz_mini_hacks, but I definitely like the idea of a full firmware replacement more
I have a bunch of cheapo ip cameras here that.. they work okay enough?
and.. their root password is cracked so I can ssh in if I really want to? ๐คฃ
Well it is gone next year. And there is no autisme registry. So if you dont say you got it. They never give you that test.
It was mandatory for me because i lost my drivers licence due to a psychoses which is understandable
Yeah, I had a friend here who lost her license because she had too many seizures. Definitely a safety thing that I understand.
Your original description made me
though. 
I'm a little sensitive right now okay

But do they support showing the cameras stream as ASCII symbols for watching them via a text based CLI browser like lynx?
Mental support is allowed in this channel
All of my rages involve politics, so I can only rage so hard right meow.
In here at least.
Browser? What is that? Telnet all the way
Jorg gets mad at me when I break the rules.
Who makes the rules here?

There's motorized 2 wheelers
really grateful to live somewhere that I can walk, bike, or take transit pretty much anywhere I need/want
Dm?
sure show off.
I bet you don't even have a risk of becoming homeless if you have a slight medical issue.
Really depends on where I'm going
I commute to work on a train, but if I go to the same city for ๐ฅ practice, I take my car

Appreciated, but I gotta compartmentalize that shit into a box while working, too much to do still for Community Day (and a trip to Dublin the week after). However, if my regular venting sources set some boundaries, I will keep you in mind. 
where exactly?
you can walk or bike or take public transit? the current admin is very much against that sort of nonsense and we will work on fixing that! /s
๐

Okay baby mod
Or #memes - depending on the outcome
Quick, everyone hide. Sonoma's here.
well grow wings already mr to-good-for-standard-transportation
Just follow the rules! Itโs not that hard!
There gonna be someone abusing their powers here soon.

Oh boy Iโm getting elevated!
But why?
may I introduce you to my friends ๐ฆต๐ฆต๐ฒ ๐
that looks like socialism..
Or like..
Are you taunting police, because they're too out of shape to run? /s


you listed causes of strokes. cept that last one but then public transportation has been known to make a few veins burst in the head
Who got stokes?
walking, biking, and trains are causes of strokes? 
hell yea
Anyway what's "biking"?
cycling, riding a bike, etc.
People still do that?
I was not
sorry, you said it was crazy
The lifestyle of the rich and famous I guess. So much time to spare
I said it was crazy that many areas in the world are built / have been rebuilt to make cars necessary to get anywhere
well nothin g prevent you running or bicycling the same roads lol
except, well, the risk of death
although that whole "bike lane" fad was too costly to keep up
except the morbidly obese trucks driven by someone who never uses it for truck things.
What have I missed?
bike lane either made the road more narrow for moving vehicles or cost more to expand
more narrow lead to it's own issues
|| what if I told you cars came after many roads already existed ||
I bet you even think the red light things to merge onto freeways is bad too.
not to mention cyclist don't follow the damn rules anyways.. half the time you still saw them riding the sidewalks with a bike lane within inches of them
ah there it is lol
because people in this country are sociopaths on the road*
If it's not traffic state driven
with overly large vehicles with blind spots the size of small houses.
face it. the lack of love for cyclist isn't going away lol
Anyways did someone get a stroke?
you stroking?
After 2pm
> imagine getting mad at someone riding a bike
thats actually pretty easy lol
how dare they take up a 10th of the space my obese truck that I use to get groceries at target takes up!
I somewhat wanted to get these at some point.. ๐
we did it, we finally turned math gay

Yeah. Why?

Your just jealous
I also want these.
I donโt particularly love getting high tbh
I like this one better
weed has no effect on me. Not even the good stuff
I like a mild stoned feeling. Cheapers preroled joins from time to time. Same as alcohol i like typsy.
Mild?
Medium
Happy medium?
Philosophical medium
You can get high or you can get blasted. Honestly, the chill that a good CBD-G strain brings is solid and not so head heavy.
You too much
You don't have to smoke so much you're a couch potato.
