[restive rain]

things I don't like: calling people, my car dealership.

guess who I have to call today.

[clear ferry]

you have to call things ?

just send a message

[restive rain]

ye, schedule a service appointment

[clear ferry]

isn't that an online service ?

[restive rain]

tbh, scheduling is easier on the phone

than by email

no, they don't have a real online scheduling system with a calendar to pick from

[clear ferry]

I have just clicked on a calendar to schedule car maintenance the last 10+ years

then I just drop off the keys in the morning and come back later

[restive rain]

right, ideally i'd just wait there for like 1-2h and pick it back up

its at the other end of the city, getting home from there by public transport takes like an hour anyways

[clear ferry]

ah yeah, for short stuff like that i just sit in the lobby drinking free coffee and doing online stuff

[restive rain]

the recall they did in 45 min while I waited there

also there is a kfc next door, I could have some food there while I wait :P

and I want to ask them how long it will take etc, so I can decide when to do it

[clear ferry]

I really haven't called anything in close to a decade thankfully

everything is digital and online

[restive rain]

there is nothing really to service, its a 2 year old EV

wiper blades and air filters

[clear ferry]

not sure about the service interval of brake fluid etc on the modern EVs, I only had a full EV for 2 years, now I have a hybrid which has a full service every 12 months

[restive rain]

meh, brake fluid is usually "change it if there are problems"

tho some manufacturers now probably want to change that regularly, to still make some money on service

b/c there is no more oil to change

on my BMW it was changed once in like 15 years, when the brake lines were redone

[clear ferry]

I drove a lot of single pedal for the EV, so had to change the brakes once on that car even in that short period

[restive rain]

I try to be good about that and switch to 0 regen every now and then

if they want to sell me new discs I'll decline and have them checked independently, my dealership is sleazy

[clear ferry]

Most stuff here is 5-7 years warranty by default, which is nice some of those also cover brake stuff

[restive rain]

ye, this car is 7 yrs warranty

but I think not on wear parts

[clear ferry]

the volvo was not, fun with $1200 for new disks and pads for the front only

[restive rain]

ye, that's about right for full disks + brakes + work time these days tbh

ok, enough distracting myself, i'll call them now.

[unborn merlin]

what about headlight fluid?

[restive rain]

they are LED, those don't need fluid :P

[unborn merlin]

Dunno you can watercool..

[clear ferry]

You say that, but if you own a tesla you have to change the headlights every 6 months or so

[unborn merlin]

[clear ferry]

the EV6 looks nice, but I never drove it, I've driven a few kia EVs and they all felt cheap so I just steered clear

[unborn merlin]

well now we know you're not a hamster.

[final tangle]

hey everyone, i had a question for you guys. I'm trying to do something a bit different. I am trying to toy with the idea of putting a security camera inside my vehicle that would then use the starlink that is setup in my vehicle.
the issue with this is, starlink does not give a static IP, and uses some IP sharing setup, and even DyDNS wont work from what I am seeing.

So the idea is to try to use a camera that is client-to-server, meaning, the camera is the one initializing the communication to the server.

I know these type of cameras are frowned upon for power users who know better. My home has real cameras, on POE, with a NVR in home. I can't do this with the camera in my car.

So I am leaning to a different solution, such as a blink cam or something similar.

Anyone have any ideas. comments, suggestions around this topic?

Ugh. #justsasdrivethings. If I want a 90° SAS connection to my SAS drive(s) I have to buy a 90° adapter. But ALL those adapters are SATA on the non-drive side, so I need a miniSAS to 4x SATA breakout cable. But I already have a miniSAS to 4xSAS breakout cable that will also accept SATA style power connectors. Why can't there just be a single miniSAS to 4x22pin SAS connectors with 90° connectors!? Or even just 90° 22pin SAS to 22pin SAS adapters?! Meh.

Any suggestions as to how to connect a Hyundai to HA that doesn't involve bluelinky (it's been broken for a while now and I am getting tired of the constant issues)

[ocean oar]

Quite impressively, it does all of the SAS things perfectly. Beeper and error lights for failed disks, full monitoring/management over SES. I added a 2nd SAS cable for more bandwidth later too.

[robust flicker]

Uh. Holy crap. When you said expensive, I didn't know you meant over a thousand USD!

[ocean oar]

Yeah...

I bought it back in 2018 though, so I feel I've got my money's worth

[weak musk]

I went RaspPi 4 > Beelink n150. Feels like a super computer by comparison

[ocean oar]

That "ME Mini" of theirs looks pretty fun

It's hard to reconcile putting ~$2000 of SSDs into a ~$300 computer, but other than that

I was considering one for an off-site backup device, that I could chuck in a corner somewhere at my parent's place

[weak musk]

yeah it looks cool

[weak musk]

that's a great idea honestly

[ocean oar]

The internal PSU really is a massive selling point for that device. ~100mm cube and all you need is a C7 power cord and Ethernet, no external anything

[dawn badge]

I am definitely looking for an excuse to get a "me mini" tbh

[robust flicker]

cries in poor

[dawn badge]

would love if there was a version with more ram though

[weak musk]

you can buy one as a gift for me if you want an excuse

[unborn merlin]

that 9500-8e HBA is a 'tri-mode' adapter.. it can literally have downstream NVME drives attached so.. that thing is basically a pcie switch..

and anything with pcie switching.

Is stupid expensive because broadcom bought the company that makes the switches and said.. eat shit

[ocean oar]

The only reason for the 9500 is because it uses damn near half the power of older ones

People who put 9300 and 9400 series cards in the MS-01 absolutely cook the shit out of them

[unborn merlin]

I have a 9300 16i I think for my custom build machine.. but I also know how to put a fan on it because.. I 3d modeled the whole bitch 😛

[ocean oar]

That one is the spiciest of them all

[unborn merlin]

yeah because its using two of the inefficient chips. relatively speaking

fits well enough on a regular mainboard tho

[ocean oar]

The spec sheet power figure for the 9500-8e is only 6.5W. Even in a marginally-cooled SFF PC it's running at <70C

[unborn merlin]

.... thats because its supposed to be hit with active cooling

SFF doesnt have proper forced airflow

me? I have a whole ass bin of fans collected from pc building/3d printing shenanigans I can jam in this case if I wanted to. 😛

even some of those spicy noctua industrial PPC fans

[ocean oar]

Those are fun. I replaced the fans in my network rack with the 24V/3000rpm versions of those.

The 230VAC fans were too loud, and didn't really feel like they moved that much air despite

[unborn merlin]

I have a few of these that I got on a sale for like 15$/ea a while back that I may use

https://www.amazon.com/Stinger-SGJ78-8-25-Inch-Cross-Flow-Fan/dp/B001HHSPYI

crossflow fans can move quite a bit of air while remaining fairly silent.

[ocean oar]

Works for mini split heat pumps, can't see why it wouldn't work for PCs 😄

[unborn merlin]

yeah.. I ordered a heat pump minisplit on 4th of july...

so now I get to wait for that.. then plan where exactly its going in one of the two possible places...

one will use the 16' lineset it comes with.,.. the other I'd probably need to get a 50' lineset from vevor or something..

... but the 50' one would probably be best for an airflow/comfort/looking less fucking stupid sense of things.

would also need a condensation pump tho.. Not the worst.. I already have an older one but.. ehhh

[ocean oar]

Have a love-hate relationship with condensate pumps. For residential installs would always go with gravity drain if you can

[unborn merlin]

nope, wouldn't really be able to do that unless I were to.. drill a hole in a soffet and drop a hose through it.

doable.. just.. rather obnoxious.

I still need to properly insulate the space that I'm in. 😐

[primal laurel]

still funny americans rarely install two way AC...

[unborn merlin]

because many many of them are too ameritarded to realize that it is hilariously powerful/efficient and yes cheaper than stupid oil/gas bullshit

also realized that.. the roof per NYS regs should be around R49 or so for our climate zone

its more like 12-14

excellent.. 🙃

[primal laurel]

R49?

[unborn merlin]

insulation ratings system

i'm in 4A

woefully inadequate fucking everywhere.

in the house.

but of course.. you can' treally easily.. fix this issue after the fact

well-- not easily

[forest edge]

charts like that are a base point, not a set in stone guide to follow

[unborn merlin]

when its basically R-12/14 everywhere its still a shit thing? 🙃

I know this for certain because last winter I broke out my thermal camera.. 😄

[ocean oar]

Most expensive stud finder 😆

[unborn merlin]

not super expensive I got it on a sale.. with a macro lens included.. its useful for electronics diagnosing too.

[primal laurel]

You do a heat loss calculation?

[ocean oar]

I'm glad they are coming down in price, because the FLIR one we have at work was beaucoup dollars for relatively middling resolution

[unborn merlin]

nope.. but I know thaat you really shouldn't see cold giant areas like that.

[unborn merlin]

FLIR can eat a dick

they overprice everything, and the only time I'd ever consider buying one is if, its one of those ones you can firmware hack to the higher model

[forest edge]

what type of insulation?

cause closed cell can do that

[unborn merlin]

its most likely that pink fiberglass bullshit that basically falls down in the wall.

[forest edge]

fiberglass not so much so

[unborn merlin]

it can if its poorly installed because boomer logic is "Cheap is better especially in a house thats supposed to last---"

[forest edge]

is it old and decayed fiberglass?

[unborn merlin]

I'll puit it this way.

Rockwool or bust these days. 🙃

rockwool or sprayed.. but rockwools easier to handle than spraying..

[forest edge]

"boomer logic" as you put it puts tried and true first above new and on-paper-fantastic

[peak slate]

Lol ours was blown insulation in the walls

[forest edge]

just look at vapor barriers and how all that turned out lul

[unborn merlin]

the area above the attic space I'm in is also not vented as far as I'm aware

that is also probably bad.

🙃

[forest edge]

that is bad

[peak slate]

Isn't Boomer logic to install asbestos or some such?

[forest edge]

if you have dead air unlivable space

[peak slate]

And lead paint

[forest edge]

it should be vented

[unborn merlin]

its not quite.. unvented

it has like...

[forest edge]

nothing wrong with asbestos as for what it is used for (we already had this conversation in here lol)

[unborn merlin]

it has this

in the rafters

and then insulation ontop of that

[forest edge]

don't hate the material, hate the people snorting it

[unborn merlin]

so there is some airflow

but there's no ventilation hole all the way up top

which in my opinion is fucking stupid.

but I'm already gonna be needing a tall goddamn ladder to get my heatpump installed so.. 😐

[peak slate]

Man hate the contractors and construction guys then

[forest edge]

well that allows a gap to draw air from the soffits, but you should have roof vents

or whatever those glove spinning thing and its usually a combo of both

[primal laurel]

It's literally fucking everywhere how are you going to avoid it

[unborn merlin]

only on the front.. two.. gable-ish things?

[forest edge]

course now the "fad" if a ridgeline vent

[unborn merlin]

that aren't properly directly connected in my opinon

that is the new style that basically all homes use now

[peak slate]

Basically hazmat suits

[unborn merlin]

because we know better.

our goddamn shed in the backyard has a fucking ridgeline vent

which is hilarious

because its a shed.. its alraedy very porous..

[peak slate]

They have it in work and take it seriously

[primal laurel]

Exactly

[peak slate]

Which is also $$$ to deal with constantly

[forest edge]

i'm confused. you are not providing enough info to visualize a complete picture. you saying you have some soffit vents but only in two places and not a single roof line vent at all?

if thats the case that alone is the cause of your flir image

dead space attics are meant to be a thermal barrier between the livable upper floor and the outside. they are meant to get extremely hot but not trap air. it's suppose to circulate air between the soffit and the high end of the roof pitch

course they were originally designed for asphalt shingles but work just as well for metal roofs as well

[forest edge]

hate what? older homes?

[primal laurel]

Lung cancer

[forest edge]

asbestos used to come in many different forms from compressed (like exterior shingles) to blown in like typical insulation and even a spray. commercial buildings still have and utilize existing spray asbestos today cause unlike other stuff, it dosen't break down and become obsolete

the whole health scare is from people treating it like they treat everything else.. without any care

but as a material it's still very good at what it does

[primal laurel]

It causes cancer when you breath it in. The fibres are invisible

[forest edge]

so don't snort it

[unborn merlin]

my attic is like this actually

except

[forest edge]

and besides.. in today's world.. what doesn't cause cancer?

[unborn merlin]

they didnt insulate the knee-walls

they insulated the fucking roof

not the living space of the attic

[forest edge]

you don't have insulation above the ceiling?

only in the rafters?

[unborn merlin]

do in the ceiling yes

but they didnt insulate the short walls in the attic

only the roof behind them

which... traps more heat?

[primal laurel]

If you're working with with it you can never rule it out completely

That's why we stopped using it

[unborn merlin]

i asure you if the idiot gets his way they'll bring it back.

[forest edge]

so your attic as pockets of "livable" space? that what you refer to as the short walls?

[unborn merlin]

those walls are not insulated

[forest edge]

so yes to what I just said

[unborn merlin]

but the roof behind them is..

So.. roof heat in the summer just.. slowly bakes through and then permeates the walls..

I will be fixing that though..

rockwool and some reflective to keep it in placae..

can't fix the roof behind my sheetrock...

... not yet at least

that would require me ripping out the sheetrock temporarily.. and.. 😐

[forest edge]

those style homes were you basically have just shingles> underlayment> insulation> sheet rock and livable space is the trade off to what you are experiencing

only so much you can do

[unborn merlin]

well.

the attic was finished later in the construction

so.. the attic definitely couldve had proper insulation or a vent installed prior to finishing

[forest edge]

as in it was never meant to be finished off lol

[unborn merlin]

The hydronic heating doesnt work up here either

becauase its permanently air-locked

[primal laurel]

How much kW thermal Heat pump are you getting?

[unborn merlin]

because the fuckwits who installed it.. went up and over the ceiling with the water lines instead of under the floor where it would be less rise/pressure and got it permanently air-locked

24k BTU

<@&330946878646517761> smite this fool... 🙃

he still crosspostin.

but yeah.. I didnt do the full thermal calcs.. I will make it work out... I am very much not afraid of at some point ripping sheetrock down and throwing in real insulation

[primal laurel]

BTU

Not even the British use that anymore

[forest edge]

your situation is kind of dire no matter what. at this point you you can either fork out for the cost of comfort or cut your loses. the house does not sound like it was originally designed for the living space in question

[primal laurel]

[unborn merlin]

[forest edge]

its like karma

people who live in america and hate it and they constantly have to complain to others about it lol

[primal laurel]

You'll let corporations rule your ass with stupid shit and then call it freedum

[unborn merlin]

one thing I do wonder is

what the shit is "Plasticene"

[dawn badge]

its a modelling clay that doesn't dry out

[unborn merlin]

ah. 🤔

so plugging holes and covering the connections as much as is possible for avoiding corrosion and etc.

[dawn badge]

can remold/reuse. its basically play-doh

so yeah pugging gaps in a way that probably wont come out in normal opporation but if you want it out its not too bad to get out

[ocean oar]

Could also just use expanding foam, if you didn't care about getting it out again

[fathom sparrow]

This fool?

[unborn merlin]

I mean for the hole in the outer wall I will probably use spray foam

[unborn merlin]

whut

[fathom sparrow]

Smiting in 5…

[ocean oar]

But yeah, it's basically oil-based clay. Plasticine is a brand name

[peak slate]

Nah you must hate the contractors if you want to spite them with asbestos

[forest edge]

if your country still allows absestos to be purchased and installed then that's your problem

[peak slate]

But the country allowing it isn't telling people to snort it, so it should be allowed according to your own logic right?

[forest edge]

by your definition the country that allows it dosen't give two shits what the people do with it so your question makes no sense

[peak slate]

Im trying to point out inconsistencies in your comments, but I guess you can't see them

[forest edge]

I think you are just trying to make shit up lol

[sage vessel]

can someone help me understand HACS better and why there is so much documentation saying I shouldn't download it til I have a better understanding.

[forest edge]

not done with veo 3, try looking for something updated.

[unborn merlin]

because it can break things in ways that are not officially supported.

is the general gist.

[dawn badge]

hacs is a community store and tool for installing custom integrations that have not gone through testing and are not maintained to the level of core integrations built into HA. howeveer start a thread in #1284966582375813201 for further discussion

[sage vessel]

understood. Some of my devices show up in github repositories with full integration built by some wonderful comunity member - I am guessing they will be available in HACS

will create one for discussion however

[dawn badge]

so hacs has a default repo which custom integrations apply to be a aprt of which is what your searching but then there is custom stuff not on hacs default. you can add additional custom repos on hacs and use it to install them

[austere anchor]

Or, if you prefer a CLI and to install directly from a GitHub repo rather than a “store”, I made unhacs.

[dawn badge]

oh look at mr fancy over here 😛

i joke, i havent used it but its a cool tool with some nice options i can see being useful

[austere anchor]

I always look through the code for whatever I’m installing, so doing it right from the git URL is convenient for me.

Also, unhacs lets you install a component from a ha/core fork so you can easily test unreleased updates to a single component. I added it as a late addition, but it’s actually the thing I use the most.

[dawn badge]

yeah i can see that coming in very handy. speically with integration dev/testing

[austere anchor]

Yep. That’s what I’ve used it for. Whenever I make a patch for my integrations, I can dog food it. I also share it for users to test.

It was annoying before to basically zip and scp or rsync the directory between machines and then remember to add a version to the manifest.

[dawn badge]

i havent really been in the position to use it. but its one of those tools that i know exists and if situation comes up i will probably try it

its one of those tools where you go "thats cool, i have no purpose for it but its cool" then months/years later you run into an issue and go "omg i can try that cool thing"

thats an entirily normal thing... right?

[austere anchor]

Haha. Yep! I do that all the time. You shoulda used it to test that Ollama patch a month early. 😉

[dawn badge]

i was tempted to do that tbh. but i also didnt want to break my production setup.

testing it in some test setup would have eventually ended up with trying it in production.... i cant break that as other people in hosue will be annoyed

[high remnant]

Fair enougj

[lone dagger]

It's a bit of a mess still but I've been really digging it.

[high remnant]

it is webkit based

[lone dagger]

iOS / Mac only, but you can install both FF and Chrome extensions.

[high remnant]

[lone dagger]

It is, so a lot of troubleshooting ends up in Safari.

[high remnant]

hmm

My work device is a mac

[lone dagger]

I've reported a few bugs but I really like their profile containers and the way they do windows/tabs.

The latter is like group tabs on crack.

But I got into it because I'm already paying for their search engine, Kagi.

[high remnant]

the features look promising

[lone dagger]

Even though it's in Beta, tempted to buy a lifetime purchase of the browser.

Mostly because I believe in their mission.

[high remnant]

hmm I'll check it out but for now I think I'll keep using FF

[lone dagger]

Yeah, I am double browsering it up with Vivaldi still - I can't sign into our forums on Orion.

[glacial knot]

Y'all don't use 4 browsers?

[high remnant]

Edge and FF

(and within Edge I have 6 different tenants)

[primal laurel]

isn't webkit a terrible browser framework because of apple? it has lots of missing compatibilities

[glacial knot]

Depends on your requirements for web engines

[high remnant]

it has to work 🥺

ad-blocking on my router

[weak musk]

I’m only using edge these days. It’s lighter than chrome and loads everything unlike FF. I used Vivaldi and brave for a while but meh.

[primal laurel]

only blocks like half the shit ublock origin does. Doesnt block anything on YT. But you probably also pay for YT premium then

[scenic radish]

yeah i have YT premium mostly for youtube music but no ads on YT is nice too

[forest edge]

would think amazon prime would be the better deal in that regard since you would get all the other benefits of prime and not just the music

[scenic radish]

we'd rather not support amazon

Sometimes I don't get notifications on my phone and I haven't figured out a pattern to nail it down.

[runic cape]

buzz is a sound notification to me

[clear ferry]

I haven't had sound on my phone since 2009

Smart watches and selective app notifications

With different buzz per app

[runic cape]

Thing is I would like sound, just opt-in only

Like no texts etc.

[clear ferry]

[lone dagger]

tbh I use focus modes for all that.

[stuck anchor]

on android you can turn off notifications for individual apps

[lone dagger]

Same for iOS.

But sometimes you only want it during a set time (like me). Focus modes (work, sleep, etc) does that timing for you.

[unborn merlin]

damn your ADHD has a focus mode? /s

[lone dagger]

It's called M E D I C A T I O N

[stuck anchor]

and i also trigger on certain wifi networks to turn off sound completely

[lone dagger]

Ooh, that's a cool one!

[runic cape]

I want notifications, just no sound

[stuck anchor]

for android, long press on the notification and you get the option to turn off sound for that type of notification

[runic cape]

I appreciate it but it needs to be opt-in not opt-out

I do not like dings and bleeps that I didn't specifically ask for

[unborn merlin]

99% of companies response to that:

https://tenor.com/view/dave-chappelle-chappelle-show-pop-copy-why-cause-fuck-em-gif-15886017

[stuck anchor]

in your notification settings you can allow individual apps to override "do not disturb".

so if you set your phone to do not disturb you can get there

[lone dagger]

Bluesky, yesterday, when they turned on all notification options for users instead of letting them opt in.

I don't understand why companies do that - just make it all conformed to the most strict rules, it's not that fucking hard. In fact, I think it's less work!

but that's what they did right? or I am not following you

[unborn merlin]

They enabled them by default. Everyone (at least in the US) had to go turn it all off.

I had to for the HA account - I started to get WAY TOO MANY notifications on my phone from that.

heat pump arrives to office for me to pick up on friday..

but then i have to decide how exactly the inside unit is gonna be mounted..

if its on the ugly place I can just get it installed in a few days.

if its on where I want it to be I still probably have to buy a 50ft lineset

[lone dagger]

get a heat pump. reduce the heat to atoms

[primal laurel]

heat pump + 3 way valve = congrats, you now have an AC

iirc tesla valve right

yeah I recently started properly sealing the attic knee-walls.. out of curiosity while It was hot the other day..

I went and added a single area filled with rockwool+reflective material to see how effective it'd be..

dropped the wall temperature on that spot on the cooled side by.. about 2.5c~

how fun 🙃

yeah our house has.. R14?

at most I think

How dare you try to save money - better up those rates for seasonality!!

lets do the bare minimum it'll certainly be worth it in the long run!

.... right?

... unless climate change were to make winters worse and summers worse

whoops

yeah i'm installing a heat pump.. sometime next week hopefully?

[lone dagger]

Climate change is fake, duh.

[unborn merlin]

so i'm fixing up my knee walls.. probably will do my air sealing too some

[lone dagger]

IT CHANGES SEASONALLY, OBVIOUSLY

I dont feel like caulking so I'm gonna use that.. putty stuff to seal holes inside the knee wall..

currently I have two smaller A/C's fighting the attic heat

still 77-80f in here.

🙃

can't waait for this damn 24k heat pump to arrive and lay the heat out properly.

[lone dagger]

I would melt.

I think it's almost that temp in my office now.

Definitely hotter than the first floor, which was last at 74F.

[unborn merlin]

well one of the units is a portable with a bit of an issue

its water doesnt drain properly from the cold side fast enough

so if its run too high on fan (so.. above a low..) it starts to blow the water out

[lone dagger]

I could drag a portable from one of the bedrooms but those take priority over my office.

[unborn merlin]

yeah.. I'm tired

sure family home and all

but I'm paying for and installing my heat pump

when family first heard they said "for the whole house?"

My answer was "no."

My mind wanted to say "Are you out of your fucking mind?"

I've been trying to convince them for like 3 years to put one in downstairs to cool+heat the house so they'll stop fucking whining about oil heating costs

but nooope.

I can only do the knee-walls

for now, because further would require ripping out the sheetrock over my head..

this is an old LG portable unit

I've opened it up and drilled holes in the clogged tray area

it has like..

2-3mm holes in the plastic between the cold tray and the hot coils where I aassume it wants to drip water to evap it to outside

... except those holes clogged early because of fcuking course it did

and theres' no way to get inside that area and clean it

so I drilled holes in the side so it drips out down the side over the coils-ish.

but still not perfect, apparently

[scenic radish]

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
