Yeah that!
Got a stack behind me
I loved collecting the movies for a while, they were so shit but awesome. not as bad as DS/3DS movies though
absolutely. this guy took a slightly different approach - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7InIXoqAJQ

(for the hardware side I mean, it's all nfc tags otherwise)
same
ISDN was awesome. 115kb/s
I don't want to flex
like 15KB/s or something lol
we had ADSL back in the day
Fancy pants over here
33.6K playing Quake with 500+ ping
I'm too young for ISDN days, only heard rumors lol
To be fair I did start out on 9600 baud in 1991
We had dual ISDN and after that ADSL
You're a gen ahead (behind?) me then. The forgotten generation
Something to do with MTV
Dialup 1991-1995
Isdn 1995-1998
Docsis 1998-2000
Adsl 2000-2004
Ftth 2004-
I'm born in the mid 80s yes
we skipped Docsis
ftth became available for me at like 2012 or 14?
No
Yes. 1981 to 1996 is millenial
My current house still only has adsl ffs
We had 10/10 in 2004, 50/50 in 2008, 100/100 in 2012 and 1000/1000 in 2015, could have had 10000/10000 at my last vendor since 2021
but I have a 5G router so
I think we went from some speed in ADSL (30/40???) to 1000/1000
I moved out shortly after so I have no clue
Not sure ADSL did 30/40 mb/s... did it?
ADSL can only to 16
I can't remember tbh
It's VDSL then
VDSL is current
that sounds about right
But then again, ISPs haven't sold copper based internet here since the early 2010s
And all copper is still being pulled out of the ground
lol you can still get it here
Come to Germany. It's the standard here...
same here. They're planning on shutting it down though since ftth is the standard in my area
They stopped repairing copper lines in 2017, docsis lines in 2019, told you to order ftth
except for my building
Fiber is the newest hottest shit for isps here
you left off pagers, mail, hand signs and smoke signals
it's being phased out but surprisingly offered still, along side fiber
My dad had a pager in 94 I remember, only one I ever saw
WAP - if you know, you know
actually morse code should be on there as well
the song?
Worst £1.50 I ever spent
I know some wet as....
Pigeons
my partner has a pager device
no, the internet protocol
RFC1492?
its not a pager but it acts like a pager
old mobiles used it, it was so bad
haven't seen one since i was 13
the button I mean
can i play snake on that?
yes
Can it run doom?
Maybe
Snake was awesome
Can it run crysis
my hands hurt just thinking about trying to play that on a 3310
Fax - lol
ikr
Still used in Japan, last time I heard
japan has been stuck in the year 2000 since the 90s
I send a fax most weeks
you a german?
Yep
knew it
yeah
"Believe it or not, the fax machine, a seemingly antiquated device, remains firmly embedded in the operation of modern businesses around the globe. While email and instant messaging reign supreme as the predominant forms of communication, several countries continue to rely on fax technology for various reasons like security, compliance, and accessibility. In this post, we’ll explore why and how countries such as Japan, Germany, the U.K., and even the U.S. consider fax an essential tool for communication."
UK? what.
mit karte? Nein? fuck
Danke
Fuck cards
yesn't
I ran out of them, sorry
i have gotten used to it so everytime i cross the border i have to remember to bring cash or look for an ATM for the 23874978598 th time
I was so blown away when I was able to pay by phone on a flee market in Spain on vacation
That reminds me, I need to print off some NFC cards with funny characters on them that, when scanned, make the landline ring with an AI character asking questions.
Moe from the Simpsons for example. Completely pointless party trick
I mean you guys are still stuck in 2007
I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT TO GET DINNER HERE
the cell reception is still comically bad
Everything that's """high tech"""
nein danke!
Das Internet ist Neuland
tbh props for brining google to tears in berlin
fully support that
I am really happy I can pay with card in the Rewe for every bi-weekly reverse blitzkrieg I do
Lol
that wasn't always the case too
In our shop you can only pay with actual debit cards
yeah that's fine
Aka EC-Cash
Last week I was in the Delhaize and they only accepted cash
err the physical card?
I haven't seen EC like in 20 years?
Only these
Still common enough here that we don't need credit card acceptance
Oh no I have never used creditcard
nooo sorry I was confused I thought you meant something like chipknip
Credit/Debit-Credit/Mastercard is nonono
Chipknip (a portmanteau of chip card and knip, Dutch for purse) was a stored-value payment card system used in the Netherlands. Based on the Belgian Proton system, it was started by Interpay on 26 October 1995, as a pilot project in the city of Arnhem and a year later rolled out countrywide. Chipknip was taken over by Currence due to a restructu...
wait no so it is like this system?
talking of older tech, has anyone else got the VOIP/landline integration set up?
it works pretty well
Only EC and gircocard. Nothing else
dang
Yeah... my boss doesn't like to pay 2-3% card fees
I mean I haven;t seen EC in a REALLLLLY long time
maybe I just don't notice it
Oh this is going to be an issue tho. I know that all Dutch banks are transfering to Mastercard debitcards
EC was discontinued 15 years ago, only girocard still exists
I mean as long as they accept my dkv card I am happy
this is war
this has to be against the server rules

@tidal bronze thought of you when I watched this. https://youtu.be/CuXxGiLBe2k?si=rsUBRZ4ZuORg4RXB
Gated communities in the U.S. vary, with some featuring luxury estates while others are made up of one-bedroom condos. Yet they all offer security, prestige and privacy at a premium. Nationally, these homes on average cost about 5%-10% more than similar non-gated homes in the same areas. While gated communities typically have higher property val...
Swamp land?
it mentions cali as well
You lost me at Florida
its less about the state and more about the universal reason for them
@tidal bronzewhat are your amenities aside from being able to see cool cybertrucks?
Isolation 😅
Coyote rides
That video is so off from everything I like. Community pool, shared gym, shared this and that. Really? I mean really. Knew it was going to be a disaster when it started with FL. 😅😅
so your hoa has nothing?
I don't want to get into that. But that has nothing to do with SoCal gated that I know.
I've always found gated communities to be weird. Like...how scared do you have to be of people to live in one lol
get into what? why you make it sound ominous now?
Very.
oh I see. your state is going broke so you may not be able to afford amenities lol https://youtu.be/MYXMQnJpa_M?si=h0VTTI4JXtcsPPw1
27 state governments lack the necessary cash on hand to pay their bills, according to researchers. The debts largely relate to the public pension system, which provides lifetime benefits to state and local government employees. $800b in federal aid during the pandemic obfuscated the long-term challenges of states. As that extra aid expires, even...
You don't have to worry about us.
out of sight (can't see you over your mountain of debt), out of mind huh?
IF, I mean IF one day we have issues, there will be much larger issues in middle earth. 😅
I dunno seems like we are sitting pretty over here
You're welcome.
I would offer you to move but we got too many of your kind here already
😂
kind of intersting
I was so surprised that a country as advanced as Japan has such basic outlets! #electrical #outlets #japanisawesome

is that the huge round pin ones?
The European one yes
i wonder if those 3 plug outlets are common in japan. that outlet just looks weird
did like the small modular thing tho
british is ok
what the heck do you plug into it when you need like multiple powered usb ports?
I do wonder if I should replace the simple breaker with a GFCI for my bathroom
I got the RCD, but for the bathroom it might be interesting
weird you all have ones with optional ma trip rates
nothing like feeling 240 volts for about 30 seconds before the breaker trips huh?
my house has gfci breakers
I now finally understand why sometimes my vms on my second node are not available. I didn't enable all the vlans on the ports on the switch
gfci and arc breakers would be more common if the damn things weren't so damn expensive
really? 30s?
Nah, stuff works fine, best regards person who does his own electrics
Instant tripping
there's this saying: kleur op kleur en u bent elektromonteur
Ye olde fuse finder, the screwdriver
color on color and you are an electrician
hey I provided the translation too
240v? you would have to mess with both phases then. one phase to ground only gives you 120v. that's the most common jolt. 😄 we have both wires floating here. no concept of a live and a neutral.
Power go brrr
To be fair we have two standards
IT
And TN
And either 230 (one or three phase) or 400v (three phase) distribution
i still have a scar from my first meeting with mains power. happened in spain while i was 7.
I personally like the idea of the trip being localized. especially in bathrooms. wouldn't want the whole room going dark lol
by the time i was 12 i was doing all mains maintenance jobs at home. like replacing plugs, installing lamps etc
My house is 250V, as it gets too much electricity
lol
You are off by a thousand or so
You forget that most of us have proper power supply 😂
How often have you tripped the breaker in your bathroom? O.0
I have never in 41 years
not very often but it can happen.. blow dryers, shavers etc.. people with wet hands lol
We recently tripped the ones at work a couple times
In-rush current goes brrrrt
God, your appliances must be shitty
Blow drier tripping? That's what you get for 6a fuses
no when plugging and unplugging them
Yes, albeit 60cm from a water source is the rule
gfci is code now so you won't find a house built from 80's+ without them. same goes for in the kitchen
yea we don't have that 60cm limitation
but then we don't trip at the breaker so not a concern lol
Apparently you do
Since you need special outlets in the bathroom

With your drier and other stuff
I don't like that. cause I don't want all the lights going out lol
I would put arc breakers in the fuse box but not gfci
The circuit fuse will trip long before the GFCI anyway
i have an outlet right behind the mirror at the sink lol
theres' also an outlet close to the shower 🙈
Yes, I've been doing house electric for 25 years, I know how tripping works
Suicidal dutch people smh my head
its from the 60 🤷♂️
my bathroom is REALLY tiny so there's no other choice
are you talking about the fuse in the outlet or the rcp or whatever in your breaker(fuse box)?
cause pretty sure those fuses in the outlet are not as touchy to trip under conditions that gfci was built for
you don't feel anything when you trip a gfci. least I didn't when I tested it once.
but then holding onto bare 110v wire wasn't "that" bad either for me
We don't have outlets with fuses
Never have
That's a UK thing
Everything happens in the main fuse box, fuses, GFCI, common ground etc
if you are referring to that RCD that video I posted (no idea just how accurate it is)
shows it is not faster
no idea what the difference would be between the gfci breaker vs outlet
Hi, new to the channel. Is it appropriate to ask for help in a chat channel like this or should everyone start a thread for every enquiry?
On a short. Not a ground fault
No. They have the fuses in the plugs
Always use threads in the appropriate channels please
So if I have a question related to how to add a control for an integrated smart device to my dashboard, dashboards is the most appropriate place?
Seems reasonable
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Resource temporarily unavailable (api4.thetvdb.com:443) hmmm
something has died
Either I am blocked or the API is dead
Yes
open up port 443 and just to be sure 80 in your router /s
i did iptables -f
systemctl stop firewalls && systemctl disable firewalld && echo "I'm a leet haxxor"$hackme{1..100}
dw timesyncd didn't actually do it's job and now all magic secure connections will fail
I think they are both required at the panel in new builds in CO now.
That's a weird way to do it, with just one, each fuse in our box is GFCI, so you don't knock out your fridge from your bathroom
Though we also have a few GFCI outlets too
Typical fuse box fuses here
GFCI for the fuse box
I'm concerned that you guys are using fuses instead of breakers
|| yes I'm being pedantic ||

1 phase 
might be these. I could see code enforcement on the dual duty https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-20-Amp-Single-Pole-Plug-On-Neutral-Dual-Function-CAFCI-and-GFCI-Circuit-Breaker-HOM120PDFC/204844661
I think I still have my novell cert around here somewhere....
Actually, I don't think I do. I think it was in the house when it was erased from existence by hurricane Katrina...
Not flooded. GONE. Found part of the roof almost 2 miles away.
16ft of water (just over 3m) moving inland at about 40mph (70ish kmh) tends to mess things up. And, for the record, I was over 200km from new Orleans.
there's going to be a new documentary on disney plus about hurricane katrina

thanks for triggering my appletalk and dec lat ptsd...
appletalk - the first rumor based protocol
random one, what's the upvota rate on the feature request needed to get attention from HA developers?
pretty sure there is no fixed amount. but I imagine the more the better 🙂
bout three fiddy / 1000 upvotes
More "Just focus on New Orleans, and ignore the other 200 miles of coastland it devastated" crap?
its not even out yet
I don't have high hopes. Everyone always forgets about the Alabama and Mississippi coastlines.
I think we're always watching all come by, but most of the time it's just a "not now"
whoa I think this is the first time I have gotten a bad batch of shellys
3 of them keep nagging about bad wifi which isn't bad and all three don't save any settings
wild
the other 2 work just fine
UPS or fedex really upping their games.
This one fedex
It showed up like that on the end so someone knew they messed up
I thought i was opening a return or something
Ok, I'm not looking for support, but more like a gut check that the performance I'm seeing is expected. If it's not, I'll figure out where to ask for support...
New installs. Tried it on a RPi4 with 8GB and now I'm on an i7-7700T. I'm trying to get an Atom Echo to meet the WAF. The only thing close so far is the internal Voice Assistant on the i7. That's plenty fast enough but I'm only get accurate command recognition about 50% of the time. Is this expected or should I go ask for support because something is broken?
Or should I not be testing with the Atom Echo? Is that my problem?
similar to my experience
due to the weak power of CPUs for NN processing, I run smaller models, so 🤷
but if you want any more information than anecdata of one person that doesn't really care about voice input, #1284966915055288530 is indeed the better place than #the-water-cooler
you should start a thread in #1284966915055288530 but the AE is a limited device
is that on the AE, or on the processing side (mostly whisper I think) on the wyoming side? 
I was assuming so, my experience is with the Voice PE
yeah, i was wondering about this too. happy to help explore in a thread 🙂
maybe if some girl gets lost and ends up here so I have to care about approval factor 
look @lone dagger it flies. /s
nice heat pump
its on the wall now..
two 4" lag bolts into studs should be sufficient.. I think?
I may just add some struts under it to abutt against the small roof overhang thats under it too, but not right now.. gotta level the thing out first 🤔
.. then trim the lines, connect the flare fittings and pressure test.. then vacuum pump it down and unleash the coolant!
I started a post in Voice Assistants
and then..
.. do the power wiring because thats coming last in this cas.e.
Behold the majesty of my proxmox server: 😭
There are 9 hard drives in that picture, lol.
7x3.5" and 2x2,5" drives. One each of them is currently not connected to the system, but is there for swapping in once one drive is finished copying to my 5+1 wide ZFS pool. (One of the 8TB drives is pretending to be 2 4TBs temporarily.)
Once done, it'll be both 2.5s connected, and 6 3.5s connected, and it'll be closed back up. I was supposed to be putting it all in my new server case this weekend, but FedEx is useless, and my case is still in new Mexico despite assurances it'll still be delivered today in coastal Alabama...
😮
Oh, how many of y'all have ever seen a USB port inside the case? Like, directly on the board, not a header or on the back panel?
yeah i have seen that in a few places
This board has one. I have a bt4.0 adapter plugged into it for giggles. 😭
Wow!
Any other ports?
Yea, it has 2x2.0 and 2x3.0 in the back, and headers for some more 3.0s
there are some software packages that use usb devices as a licence key. i think thats one of the reasons they became a thing
Amazing!
@dawn badge This is a supermicro X10SLH-F server board, so it wouldn't surprise me that's the reason.
yeah i think the supermicro board in one of my servers has one too
Nah, the amazing part is this is all crammed into (loose definition of into, here lol) an old Dell Optiplex 790 case. 😭
pretty sure my hp gen8 microserver (no longer in use) has one too
I've been eyeing an rx730xd...
Just wondering what the power draw would be compared to this frankenserver I have now.
sticking a usb flash drive in there too is not terible in theory as it has lights out management. so you could flash a os installer to it with current OS then boot from it using lights out
So this has changed since my last visit, not sure where to poke the bear at now. I may have. Ot logged into ha for a while, it is just working and did not require any changes to my stuff until now, however I may have forgotten the password and trying to figure out how to login without completely starting over and redoing all my stuff.
Can I pop the sd card in the computer or is there another way to get in? Tia
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/locked_out/
but start a thread in #1284966540617449515 if you need more help
Hopefully you have your emergency kit you were prompted to create and download when you first installed.
Thank you
The biggest limitation my current system has is ram. It's maxed out with 32GB of DDR3 ECC...
My OTHER idea is to upgrade my desktop, and re-use the board/CPU in it (ASRock phantom gaming 4 and Ryzen 5700x) and just grab 64g of ddr4 ECC.
Decisions decisions....
Of course, doing it that way will disappoint the kiddo, as she was hoping to get the desktop when I upgrade. :/
get a supermicro board that can have all the ram 😛
Does it come with a floppy drive too?
It's not -that- old. 2013.
Oh!? Would've been too cool
i have a usb floppy drive hanging around too. just in case...
@primal laurel you still working?
also a USB CD/DVD drive, but no usb bluray
They have drugs for that now
the only bluray drive i ever owned never saw a single bluray disk
I have a couple of DVD.drives, but no floppies
and also is gone now (sold)
i had 2 usb dvd drives. but i chucked one out recently during a big clear out
You can only be cool if you have a 1x cd caddy
on my own project
i don't think i ever had a CD drive that old, made the jump from floppy to like a 5x or 10x CD drive
I lost my entire collection of antique 286s and 8088s in Katrina. I had 4 or 5 of each in a closet.
So still working?
is that work?
Welp you said you wanna be retired. So just checking
Why on would you skip a cd caddy
in 15 years or so yeah
Right on
My first CD drive didn't use caddies. And it was purchased in January of 1991. It was a mitsumi drivr, and you pushed in and it popped out like one of those buttons. Then drawer split open and you placed the CD inside it, closed the lid and pushed it back in until it clicked.
It was internal, and used a proprietary interface ISA card.
One of our family PCs in the late 90s had one of those sweet multi-disc changer drives
Not the really cool 6-disc one though, pretty sure it was only 4
I don't want to retire lmao
I just want to keep doing cool things
you can do both
As in, I genuinely like working
that's fine. I meant financially
make sure you start investing early and it will pay off later
You kinda just started 🙂
you still have too many more years to season
a lot of people say that then you end up getting married, have kids and then your life does not become your own
My only kid, daughter, turns 18 in a month and a half. On one hand, I'm looking forward to those "empty nest" years.. On the other? cries inconsolably MY BABY'S GROWN!
doesn't mean you won't end up with one you end up loving just as much
life is a series of curve balls and it fucking speeds up the older you get
can't stand how it speeds up
You never know how it ends up
Like I moved back to my parents to move out again
Yeah, I feel that. But even if she's living under our roof, as an adult, she'll be her own person as far as I'm concerned. Will I help if necessary? Absolutely. But this girl is already one of the strongest people I know, and she likely wont need much.
People like to sleep on those gen Z kids, but a huge chunk of that is just them being strong willed and having a "we dont take no shit" attitude.
lol please
somebody's never heard of "the gen z stare" apparently.
Sonoma only likes to take shit
"oh noez, i'm being disrespected" then earn respect, bitch
My brother's stare usually is to his phone, which I despise
the world must be a paradise for them then
@red rock Yeah, there is that. But then, if they go outside and play, people like @forest edge will call the cops, Karens that they are.
I'm going to be the worst parent for them but they'll thank me for it
"why dont kids play outside anymore, harold?" "HAROLD, THERE'S KIDS RIDING SKATEBOARDS, CALL THE COPS!"
talk your shit. the condition of the world speaks for itself
condition of the world has absolutely nothing to do with gen z as most of them are barely adults at this point..
But aren't they gen alpha at this point
thats 100% due to the boomers, who even still, wont let go of the reins. Gen X president when ?
it was those who raise them lol
people like you @robust flicker
enjoy your golden years lul
You wouldn't know the first thing about me. You wouldn't know how it is to bury two children. Or to survive having 650lbs falling on your head. You think you're tough? You would struggle to hold up my left nut.
Can we not
the more you speak, the more you show who you are
He pisses me off and gets the trucker talk outta me. My apoligies @red rock I'll just ignore him.
and it is all one needs
and yes you should put me on ignore, anyone who hates as much as you really has no buisness even conversing with me
you'll just end up sitting there waiting for moments to pounce for no other reason then to be a douche like steffan
sonoma is regarded, ignore him
regarded huh
He's the only one on my ignore list. I'm on a dozen or more other discord servers, but that fool just seems to want to intentionally piss off as many people as he can. Y'know back in the 90sz on IRC, if we had someone doing that kinda thing, there were ways of making sure they never got online again without buying a new modem. Thankfully I gave up those ways years ago. It's too easy to get tracked and caught doing that these days.
Yeah, I like trolling every now and then, but there are days when it seems every little thing gets on your nerves.
maybe we should get a <@&330946878646517761> up in here
Today's one of those days. I'm irritated because one of my 8TB hard drives didn't come in yesterday, or today even and it was supposed to be here yesterday. Plus a server case was supposed to be here today as well. It's in Memphis. I'm in Mobile. It MIGHT be here tomorrow. It came from freaking Phoenix AZ..
To ban you?
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
if you do you have to do stefan as well
Selfless of you
i think he primarly resides in dubai now so good luck with that
you going to try and sue him in dubai?
that city loves him, you'd probably end up hanging from a noose
I really need to figure out these lights and HA.
buy a switch
After the switch. Moving heads, laser scanners, wall wash etc.
still can't believe you can get away with using a euphemism for the hard R in this channel. this is one server I thought would be strict on that lol
you hanging from a noose?
I don't understand that one but ok
Could be worse. He could have sengled wifi bulbs..
Never. Come on now. You should know me by now. Lol.
I don't want to use a dmx controller for DJ lights.
you are installing DJ lights?
Yes
at least the tuya bulbs have an updated integration. the sengled integration needs to be put into the configuration.yaml.. and if the bulbs aren't accessible when HA boots, they'll never be accessible, because it never polls. If the bulbs drop off the network because they're cheap junk, HA wont know, and will think it's turning them on and off....
Used to back in the day. 😆 Setting up a dedicated outdoor area and want a HA solution
I have 6 of the buggers in my house. But all issues aside, they do work reasonably well, and it hurts my cheap ass to replace something that works. 😛
in what manor? to change/switch up the lights auto with the sound?
sounds like maybe you might be overcomplicating it
what systems do they use for events?
Dmx mixers and controllers
I watched a video where someone used HA to control those little BT light up doodads they would pass out for like concerts to control them flashing in seqence.. that was neat
heh I just saw that, was curious of a software alternative exsisted
but not seeing an api
Going to figure this out using artnet. I want it to be hands-free like everything else. 😀
like not even put your hands on the turn tables?
wtf is the point?
you gonna prop a broom with a wig on it in front of the table so you can dance in front of it as well?
1200's are just to look at not to spin.
my buddy in NJ dabs with playing music on those launchpad things. he's all into that stuff
whatever those things with the bunch of buttons you push
like skrillix or whatever
Wow you know a thing or two.
he yaps and I can't walk away fast enough
drones and launchpads.. his two biggest hobby down from hurting himself on mountain bikes
As for me, strictly vinyl with xfader
Okay I didn't realize how good OPUS is, especially compared to MP3
Lowest latency as well. Used it to do a analog to chromecast streamer
I also love how OPUS at ~8kbps sounds like hold music lol
no love for WAV?
I swear google like watches everything you do even in discord. someone had said something about this earlier and this short popped up in my feed

i'm beyond the point to care if the goverment or companies are spying on me lol
some years you get punched in the stomach, some years you don't.
who the hell watches tv from the side?
My kitchen is next to my family room and I do all the time
I guess people and their houses are different 🤷
sounds like a good excuse to get one of these https://www.amazon.com/SYLVOX-Kitchen-Cabinet-Compatible-Rotated/dp/B0DG84MYSL
No need for anything other than a high quality OLED TV
actually i guess they got fridges with tv's in them now too
ohhh or!
One of my favorite things from CES 2025 was actually an @LGUSA microwave. What would you use this for? Other than cooking ramen of course...

They have a feature that sweeps through the screen to refresh the pixels from time to time.
I got mine in 2018 and haven't noticed any burn in
And they're impossibly thin
Nothing like the blacks you get with an OLED screen
The only downside is reflections
And if you can controll your environment reasonably well...
Yes, that's an issue. Can't say it's worse that with my old Samsung LED
And higher contrast helps
Might be nice to have an anti glare screen
The OLED display I have has a border of extra pixels and it shifts the image one row/column at a time occasionally to prevent burn-in
Had no idea until one day I noticed the bezels looked uneven and looked it up
and now you can't unsee it?
Lol I notice it from time to time but it doesn't bother me
It's not something you'd notice while gaming
aside from old crt tv's the only flat panel tv i ever owned that I saw burn in was an lcd one that showed the same images 24/7 for years on end
yet to see that on any of the led tv's in the family
I've had plasma, led, lcd, oled, yet to see burn in, and I have kids who watch shows with logos all the time
well you just made it sound like you swap out your tv's every few years with that long list lol
I do love my LG B2 77", only major issue is the midnight sun, but I've bought electric shades for all windows
Usually every 3-5 years I swap one of the TV's yes
Living room tv, downstairs living room tv, my office tv, bedroom projector currently
2022, 2024, 2019, 2025 respectively
lol midnight sun
if I lived someplace like that I would have tony stark style shutters on every window
I dont have zfs
You sir, disappoint me
I am planning a new homelab with storage solution so I might move to something less crappy
but I cannot really justify the price when the old run down hardware still really works well

yea, not everyone just takes hardware from work home 
I say, while trying to cycle out an older hardware gen at work, so I can take more home 😂
<3 I fully support theft
tbh when I took it I fully expected it to kick the bucket in like a few months
yes, those are zipties
reminds me of those RasPi in a case pictures 😂
ikr
Not theft. Just some reclycing 🙂
true
I actually gave myself permission
it came from this case but this was obviously too loud
granted, in my case it's a 4HU 19" unit with 256G RAM and 96cores or something silly
and I'm not sure I'll be allowed to "borrow" one o.0
if they're sunsetting them why not? Just make sure all storage media is shredded
its a teensy tiny case
Nothing on there that's secret 🎉
nah fair
this used to be a pfsense
not really secret either but given the kind of company we are and our standard MO is to shred storage media I just did that
Yea
quite common on servers, actually. a few of mine have them
looks like an ad for a "fake it till you make it" campaign.

They might be witches
I just want to say, I really hate this stupidness of forcing us to use HAOS or a container. I had a perfectly working setup but now to get updates I have to migrate to a setup that is far more difficult to maintain and setup. Feels like you are just forgetting what made you who you are, the community and open source. This move is anti-FOSS, further closing off access and making everything more difficult in the name of control. #disappointed
You can still pick the pieces out of the container, or build from source
Core and supervised remain functional, they just aren't supported anymore
Yea, like I said, making it way more difficult if you want regular updates.
what method were you using and why?
I was using core for the longest time, because it was fairly easy to maintain my setup. -- not using HA Cloud, nabu casa, but having all direct google integrations and remote access. Now, to maintain updates without pulling my hair out, I'm migrating to haos, but keeping the ssl certs synced with the firewall is turning in to quite a pita because of stupid vm/container/docker layers.... none of these were challenges when running core
Core, as in pip install? Nothing is going to keep you from doing that. It’s still a fully open source python project.
They expressed that soon they were going to stop supporting updates and installs for core and supervised
which implies they are about to change something that is going to make that even more challenging
Just the support will be dropped.
nope, just means some stuff might not be tested in that kind of setup and if it doesn't work its on you.
See my last comment, -- about to change something that is going to make it even more challenging. EXACTLY. You literally just confirmed what I said with this comment you made.
"if it doesn't work its on you."?
that's what "no support" means
you are welcome to use the support channels for help with haos 🙂
The Container install is supported and less likely to break due to dependency issues.
Yea, I was trying to use haos to keep all forms of updates easy, but getting a file share mounted within ha that will survive a reboot......
(within haos)
can ask about that in #1284966540617449515
I'm still mad. :p
(mainly because I've spent like 20+ hours migrating my setup)
but that's all part of the fun
20h? 
Roughly, keep in mind, in order to migrate I had to basically dismantle a server than was hosting a lot more than just hass, then resetup everything
everything was running native, now its all in vms
its really been like 40 hours, but I'd say about 20 of that was purely related to plex and llms
Ohh, neat.
Though I'm onto containers these days
Fewer kernels 🙂
also, had to add more hardware to the system
well its both vms and containers
Ohh, Plex
plex is a container
while haos and llms are in vms
(was easier to get gpu working correctly in vm than contianer)
Interesting
Granted, I maintain our Nvidia support on k8s at work, so I'm biased on how hard that is
well the host is prox, which is what makes it a little more difficult. could do it easy enough, but id rather just give the whole gpu to the llm directly
Ohh, so entire pcie passthrough?
yea
then, lol, setup the nvidia-container-toolkit in the vm to access the gpu from inside docker
Toolkit is outside 
But yeah it's a bit of a hassle
no, toolkit is INSIDE vm, so docker inside the vm can access the gpu inside docker.... host(pcie passthrough)->vm(nvidia-container-toolkit)->docker(actually uses the gpu)
I could put container toolkit on host, then access gpu in containers
Oh, u side a VM that runs docker. Not inside the container. Yea
but, I don't want things accidently stepping on each other with gpu. its only an old 3070
I think I have a 3060 from work here 
thats my current setup, i plan to move to gpu on host and stuff in lxc's but havent gotten to it yet for a couple of reseaons
Some of our systems in the field have RTX 5000Ada iirc.
I'll have to look closer into the Jetson lineup at some point...
I already run some arm workloads either way
Might be cheaper than modern GPUs...
Honestly, I made some bank during crypto mining phase and upgraded everything, so everything in my house is 30xx series due to timing. (I do have 1 4070 in the 'Gaming Fireplace')
hummm, didn't think about that
I run a k8s cluster at home
So adding computers is barely more complicated than hardware in one^^
I have a Radeon HD 6950
I need new hardware either way
And I think that's 2012 tier hardware or so, so close
is there actually a better way I am running nginx proxy manager and the thing keeps randomly breaking
like ❯ Starting nginx ... nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/etc/letsencrypt/live/npm-27/fullchain.pem": this is driving me nuts
Don't drive nuts.
yeah but this is the 8th time i have to repair this bullshit docker container 🤣
If it isn't repaired, it is still the 1st time. 😝
nah its just if you delete an host and NPM somehow doesn't fully delete it it shits itself
its REALLY irritating but you know what I'll just create nginx configs myself like its 1999
Would #1284966582375813201 be the right place to ask about how to get HA to monitor other computers's temperatures?
is so happy to no longer use nginx
it's great. But also a pain for just doing simple things
I would think #1284966353798697001 would be a better fit.
Unless you know, specifically, which integration or addon you are having trouble with.
depends on how you want to monitor it i guess
Currently, I measure success in having it happen at all.
cats being skinned, etc. make a thread somewhere. 🙂

@scenic radish Wife accidentally drops glitter into her husband's undergarments while doing laundry. Pretty nuts, right?
its not an nginx issue, its the proxy manager for nginx thats dropping the ball
it's sort of an nginx issue
rather one with how it is configured. But it's not easy to improve on without replacing nginx
I have a similar issue with nginx-ingress (k8s stuff) at work. But not quite enough to justify ripping it out in favor of istio 😦
and continues to.. I remember having used it for something small at work and then one day.. NPM started to just fucking eat shit and it wasn't fixable without a full clean install.. 😄
though once GatewayAPI is stable enough, I'll do it. There's proposals for the features we need in flight 
yesnt. if npm decides that a deleted host only justifies removing part of the nginx configuration associated with it, i cannot blame nginx
Just do swag, not that npm nonsense
yeah it drives me to desperation at times so today is the day its getting replaced
Swag or traefik is loads better
If your load is mostly Docker based, traefik, if not, swag
I do 99% docker and I still do swag though
Both work with authentik
I mean, it is by nginx relying on a singular monolithic config (even if it can be split into files) and running into general issues even if only a tiny part isn't quite valid
Don't you threaten me with a y'aml time @glacial knot
LINE 528 EXPECTED END OF BUT FOUND START
well, its an architectural choise. theres a case to be made for either choise
😠
this is not an nginx issue:P nginx didnt do shit
use json if you prefer it 🤷
These days? Really not
would you rather have it not start due an config error or just shit its pants when the required part of the config is broken?
what if you want the most boomer stack.. Trhen we just go LAMP right? /s
id rather have scenario 1
that made me hurl
I would like it to use as much of the config as possible and only fail on the path/host that's broken
hi traefik
there's some security consideration in this, but it's not too bad in practice.
id rather not, i dont know what the implications of an broken configuration are
it absolutely is
... no its not?
because the defaults should be provided in a higher level file that almost never gets touched
this could allow for some serious vulnerabilities:P
it can be, but with systems designed with modern (dynamic) configuration schemes in mind, it really isn't
i dont think well agree on this
just don't default / anywhere 
any/any
but this is based on a whole bunch of assumptions that i would never have nor want to risk
Rule nr 1 in infosec is to never assume something. So you don't want to assume something defaults to a safe setting
baack to apache with you.. 😛
therefore you do not want to start with an broken config
I wouldn't want nginx to just ignore broken bits of its config
I absolutely want a modern config scheme to be designed around what's effectively multi-tenancy and handle it well
There are better ways to achieve multi-tenancy FYI
no
than a brokenoutdated config scheme like nginx's? Yes
nginx when it can't even not resolve dns entries without workaround
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm multi tenancy namespace isolation with seperate egresses and vxlan separated storage and ingress

but like I said: we're never going to agree on this
can someone reply me in #1284966582375813201 pls :(
software that insists on doing DNS even when it uses a socks or http proxy 
I don't think anyone here suggests to use nginx for it 🙂 since it's defficient for the usecase

I don't have gifs on auto-play, so for a moment I thought you are just shitting on sonic, saying it has none 😂
I discovered a funny side feature of all my cameras and such, I just had two kids plan to ding dong ditch me while in my own drive way, they noticed the doorbell camera, but somehow didn't figure out the announcement inside the house saying "person detected" was about them and they were fully visible to multiple cameras lol
This being the kids shirt is also hilarious
can you play audio on the door? like, https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/realistic-shotgun-cocking-sound-38640/
It think so, but I've never tried, it's a reolink
I probably will load a nerf guns for if they come back
This has to be one of the most convoluted installations page I’ve ever seen. I just want to use docker compose. (Doing a second install for a friend) 😂 Also I signed up for the trial and I had to manually log out and log back in to get it to work, is there no button or anything you could just hit to update your phone client? Maybe I just didn’t find it 😆
I debated printing a photo of them, making it into a paper airplane, and doing a lap around the area on my bike to try and throw it at them
such a weird thing to do. I love it
tbh ding dong ditching is also weird, so it is kind of equal and proportionate response 😂
yea. And being an ass to shit kids is always a good idea 😂
my demented neighbor has called the cops on me again because shes convinced I am a drugs lord
but are you?
Exactly what a drugs lord would say...
🤣
Just remember to pay those taxes
that's her reasoning
I was also considering hanging up a qr code to the video lol
Alternative theory, what if they kids where trying to get posted on tiktok or something, otherwise why did they go forward with it after they noticed the doorbell camera
So are we still undecided on the best way to integrate Phillips Hue bulbs? Know the two main ways are hue bridge via zigbee or direct via zigbee.. I’m having trouble deciding though🥲
I never realized Phillips hue weren’t locked to their hubs, never looked into them because that and cost
you can sell the hub and that will more than pay for a zigbee dongle
are there people who buy those used?
why wouldnt they
Actually I recovered it lol
I've never been able to reset 2 motion detectors so they;re the only reason I am still running the hub
🤡
Rooting it
Not really, all you need is a remote
the only reason I would keep the hub is if I wanted to use the app. Other than that, there's not reason
isn’t it just screwing it in and out rapidly?
Just stick the remote up in its face, then press both buttons
ROOTING???
IME only 1/10 hue models support that, all other Zigbee devices do
tbh I've tried to reset https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E1812.html but I ended up tossing them when they somehow decide to break.
Integrate your IKEA E1812 via Zigbee2MQTT with whatever smart home infrastructure you are using without the vendor's bridge or gateway.
(a friend is currently really frustrated with them)
yea, I tried to reset one of my hue strips recently and it didn't work
with the power cycle method
that was one point of contention I was wondering about, another is: how should I name my switches/lights/etc, location independent and change the name in HA or location dependent entity ID as well?
Never had an issue pairing any tradfri device
Just reset my instance so that’s why I’m curious
Hue remote works every time
pairing wasn't the issue. They just completely stop working alltogether
and then just act really intermittend
they'll pair just fine and .. do nothing?
Funky, I've had 40+ tradfri sensors in use for 6 years, never had one die
Sounds like you just have a shitty mesh, or a conbee

these and the blinds are the only ones that are being a bitch about working
I had a conbee and decided that it just wasn't worth the pain
but theyr'e still being bitchy about it
Disgusting
Texas_Instruments_TI_CC2531_USB_CDC___0X00124B001CCE0697 which I think is the good one
but now I am doubting myself
Saw someone saying they name their devices and have their entity IDs as the MAC address and then just change the name in HomeAssistan which propagates to the various voice assistants ie Google ie HAVPE
Oh wait this is the ancient one
Oh the worst possible one, good
2531 is absolute rubbish
Even the conbee is an upgrade
You want something 2652 or similar
probably
https://www.tinytronics.nl/en/platforms-and-systems/sonoff/zigbee/sonoff-zigbee-3.0-usb-dongle-plus-zbdongle-e they're not that expensive
That’s what I got
Those are fine, it's sonoff, only 3/10 are broken on arrival
nothing is perfect
Except @last cedar you mean
why authentik over keycloak? 
I found it no harder to configure than authentik
though authentik can act as ldap server, not jsut consumer, so that might make it nicer to use
I need to set up an LDAP at some point...
ehh, most of my stuff is OIDC/oauth2 (some with oauth proxy)
I have a lab ADDC running at all time, because I need to fool around with integrations
Actually only windows server I would run with non desktop
yuck, AD
Gotta do what customers do brah
Keycloak plus Entra ID is quite common
yea, I'm not surprised
I just need something to put immich behind
I currently do client certificates but that's just no longer suitable :(
I should look into keycloak auth with client certificates again
but yea, they are a bit weird
CCs wont work for my mom though
That's the current setup
it works when I set it up and whenever she buys a new device it's broken :)
so in my mind I can put Immich behind Authelia or Authentik and be done with the crap. Just login to either of those and get bounced back to Immich
that's stuff I can manage on my side
I already manage their domain + mail
(including 1password) but I don't want to cross 4 different borders to fix the fucking ipad's client certificate
on a serious note though besides the obvious (it being an overkill enterprise solution) is there anything that I am missing?
probably
I mean that's my job
Yes
that's why my home network is 0 trust
even I dont trust mine
grenades behind each keystone jack for extra security? /s
and at the same time they'll suggest to downsize the security team

"what do you mean our entire system is based on some random guys side project he works on for a few hours on the weekend for fun?"
I mean most of the financial institutions I have seen from the inside aren't that bad.
Most of them aren't compliant to DORA either but k
isn't that because their systems were designed pre internet?
No. The ones I've seen do actually maintain their systems
yes they've got legacy but its not that bad
Hey, at least I upstream a couple of patches when I introduce a dependency like this
Hey, that's me
that's only because COBOL never got the weekend warrior vibe to it. /s
