Why yes, I am also concerned by your focus on a single incident involving two people instead of the still ongoing civil war in Myanmar
I don't recall that post being directed at you tho..
Dis u?
well you inserted into issue on your own free will
K
but this statement makes no sense lol
Middle earth likes aggrandizing about isolated incidents in Mordor while ignoring the evils in their own backyard and elsewhere in the world
But that’s not news
again, it wasn't directed to you..
You didn’t have to respond to my joke in the ether, and yet here we are
Maybe there's hope for TTS 😀
Customized, aggregated news from custom topics. It's using NotebookLM podcast voices. Loving it. Just the topics I want.
...
catered news to only stuff you want to hear.. does it just repeat the words "it's x degree's and sunny today" over and over?
That’s just the weather report
Be stupid, be happy
Whether outliers, market and interest rates. I don't think anything else is news worthy
Anything else seems like reality TV tbf
I guess when you hear the market has crashed you will at least have somewhat of an idea something bad is happening lol
Here everyone's just asking, what did the orange do today?
The only reason the market is crashing these days is if the orange man threatens tariffs. Tell me how I know
Why read all these. Let Gemini read everything and TTS important parts podcast style 😁
shit made me sleepy just looking at it
In germany we have "Tagesschau" wich is state funded and generally has everything covered that happens in the world
Usually try to stay away from any news. 😀
Rough translated site, but it give you an idea what they cover multiple times a day
Exactly I am counting on you to report on all the drama.
it be too late, you'd be dead before I could properly tease you about about dying lol
Heatwave incoming 🙄
ya it finally went west
But it's going to be a nice weekend in Toronto 😀
Walmart wouldn't be my first choice for buying any kind of shrimp, but this seals the deal
its part of a larger plan, here is the series of events to come:
idiot walmart employee throws it out in normal bin
homeless person raids the bins and eats
homeless person gets super powers
...?
world peace
Great Value branded shrimp.. says it all
Spicy bois
frozen crap is tasteless anyway
Yeah, generally flash frozen seafood can be good quality. Just don't buy any from the Chernobyl exclusion zone, no matter how cheap it is
its not good quality if you compare it to fresh fish
taste is completely different
not really
train it to eat raccoons
there was tuffs of fur on the floor in there that kind of looked like racoon. but don't think it was from the cat
might have been mice fur
gotta wait another 30 mins till I can take it to the vet to get checked
good thing i put an ac unit in the garage lol
selected by the cat distribution system
Not me, having an annoying day at work, and coming back to the county shop/parking area and seeing another county vehicle half in a parking spot, but with still enough room to park my assigned van inside it...
I'll happily go out the back if I need to. And I did. Learn to park!
this is what happens when a coworkers dislikes you lol
I think I'm gonna buy a few packs of crayons and some children's coloring books. Start leaving them under the windshield wipers, along with a note saying "Use these to practice staying inside the lines."
Maybe it's just my tism tisming, but I can NOT stand lazy parkers. If this former trucker can squeeze it in, and keep it inside the delineated parking space, I by-God will..
It would have been funny if you folded the side mirror in to get even closer
If the contents of this truck were known, there would have been an all-out race to get to this highway fire. That's because it was hauling 40,000 pounds of ribeye steak. No injuries were reported, but officials say the shipment was a total loss. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
ah yes the treatment all truck drivers deserve.
all the asshole ones anyways.
Isn't all fish flash frozen on the boat these days? Unless caught by a hobbiest.
if you buy it from the supermarket yes
almost all fish is frozen to kill parasites
asdgfkj;asgdasg guh
I hate big numbers
Utility company reports that I gave them 248kWh but Solar App says 188 and Panel App says 177
kWh is a cursed unit
The entire United States is cursed tbh
Should be something like liter feet of electricity
Cubic Square Liter Feet per Mole Minute of Electricity
Acre-Feet disturbed me when I learned of them
That's just feet without shoes no?
It's a unit of volume, often in water management, because if you have a 200 acre reservoir 30ft deep then you have 6,000 acre-feet. Apparently an acre-foot was ~1 year of consumption for a suburban home, so was handy for planning
what were the issues people were having with thingino? this thing seems awesome so far
I think this may be true with fish markets also.
that depends on the type of fish and how far you are from water
here, you are never far

Well you're no fun, you get to deal with the furkin/furlong/fortnight unit set now
Kin/Long/Fortnight
That would e required me to get out to move his mirror. Only the nose of the truck is in the spot there...
You think Americans know you can do that?
Oh yeah, I forgot it has to be a divisor of 2, 3, 4, 12, 16, 128, 1760, 2000, or 5280 for Americans
Square feet to acres. Now that's cursed
Im just setting up my smart home, ITS ALL TUYA HELP
Like its all just rebranded
Havells, more like tuya
Wipro, more like tuya
I mean on one hand its a good thing
Cause I can connect it to home assistant more easily
Homeassistant doesnt have wipro or havells integrations 🙁
on the other hand time to burn it down and file an insurance claim no other waay to get rid of that much tuya cancer.
Ah...
Bad things have happened here
It seems a common theme that issues in the github repo that is not tagged with an integration get a lot less attention than other issues. Is there some average response time for issues? Or is it just about waiting and crossing fingers that someone picks it up?
Breaking issues is not fun, sorry for being impatient. :/
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/150386 (also a support thread here: https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1405926334185738300)
This is not a support channel and please do not crosspost.
😮 i can enable a discord auth on home assistant
Authentication reverve proxy before home assistant
But why
Because im building up community software so that groups can manage them selfs. In my 1st try discord is leading. Wordpress nextcloud home assistant all accessible with out makeing a password
Seems odd
sucks with the apps
otherwise I'd have the oauth-proxy in there already
app is less a nessecity for now.
You got something black transparant? What is it
Framework 13 laptop
yeah I mean which part is transparent
aah
also how'd you know lol
I think what bothers me most about this is that you hacked up the good shielded connectors for it.
Did you see the videos about the 'prison laptop' that were popular a couple months back? I'd seen the same laptop for sale on ebay, maybe even the same auction all the youtubers were picking it up from, and I regret not buying it then. I could tell it was something special, but it wasn't what I was looking for at the time...
(The connection being that it was entirely transparent, 90's style)
Nope I have completely missed that tbh
but that sounds fun
but after googling the laptop: that actually makes sense and looks really cool too
Prison laptop? How do they get it in? Via Prison Pocket??
clear plastic laptop so you can see the insides
but if you want to put a 14" plastic thing in your...
Wouldn't be the first time. I uhh, I mean, ew.
lolz
Yeah, some ebay seller had them for like, 30 bucks a pop
I would have enjoyed the challenge, that sort of thing is a lot of how I cut my teeth
LOL I forgot 🥺
but yes the bezel is transparant
nice
I want to buy framework too. But I upgraded my laptop with more memory, replaced the battery and added an extra SSD
props to MSI for making that so easy to do 😄
don't replace what is not broken!
I want one too - I just wish they'd release a model with a CPU with decent tensor performance.
Like... those AI Max desktops? Gimme one of those, but a laptop, kthx.
My laptop has an 7th gen i5 with 8GB of soldered-on memory.
Which is about 8 times what I need for what I actually do with it, but it's getting to that age where even if yeah, I can make it work, turn down some eye candy, close some tabs... I'm having to take a more active role in resource management and ehhhh, that sounds an awful lot like my day job, and I will pay to not do that.
They were fucked already. Both cables I used even had knots in them
That's fair - just so rare to see those that it stood out to me.
That's part of the cut off, wouldn't trust them anymore lol
I can't help but imagine it as a rollercoaster for electrons
And I can't lie, I've cut literally thousands of network cables
I get sent to on-prem server rooms my employer is decomissioning or moving and go ham with a pair of utility shears
It's not worth what they pay me (and what it cost to send me to the job site) to have me standing there unplugging them one by one to save a bunch of mismatched copper cables
And I'm glad management agrees because your thumbs get tired after about a hundred of those...
Someone does eventually have to do that with the gear they intend to reuse, but that ends up being less than half at most sites - and they can do it at a leisurely pace, not
you have today and half of tomorrow to get all of this onto pallets
My boss and I used to joke that we might be the best paid moving crew in the country. 🤣
But like, you can't send a regular mover into a server room with a pair of shears and a screwdriver and expect good results.
And hiring a local who might be less qualified ends up costing more than letting me take a little mini-vacation.
If it helps you. Electrons dont actually move much at all, they just push the next one forward
I know someone who got a callout for everything in a network/server rack being down.
they turned up and went to the server room only to find it no longer there and the room being used for another purpose.
upon enquiry the server room had been "moved"
rack had wheels and there was a service elevator so they didnt straight away forsee it being more than needing to rewire the networking.
got to the new server room and the entiry thing was fucked and smashed up.
more enquiries later they found out the "movers" didnt want to wheel it all the way to service elevator and opted to take the stairs...
this went as well as could have been expected and after about 2 steps the rack toppled and took itself down the rest of the stairs by itself. they just dumped it into the "new server room" and then fucked off.
they apprantly thought taking it 1 step at a time careffully between them would be quicker then wheeling it across a building to then wheel it back on the floor below
i dont think they realised the weight of a fully loaded rack because it has wheels and was easy to move on them.
obviously not the sharpest tools in the box
Getting the thing to start and stop rolling should be enough for them to guesstimate the weight to be a metric ton
you would have thought...
Thanks. Been using it for sometime.
I have friends who work there, so I'm being supportive. 😄
My friend has a tailscale shirt, its honestly one of the highest quality shirts I have felt.
Hey all, i got quite an odd question that doesnt fit in the general support directories afaik, but basically: is there any way to run vms on top on hassio os?
Do you mean to suggest me to ask it there?
yes
Cuz i dont mean configuring hassio to work on a vm
You understand that right?
I mean if there is a way to load vms on top of the os version of hassio
configuration is still likely the correct place to ask but the answer is going to be: no
Ahh okay
use proxmox and run haos in a vm and other vm's alongside it
I dont wanna go through the hassle to set up my device again
Hence my idea on building it on top of it
make a backup store it and the encrption key then move your install and restore it and everything will still be set up 🙂
but as stated for further discussion start a thread in #1284966540617449515
Gotcha
If its a real tailscale tshirt you only use inside
I moved to ::1 more space
And i use ssh remote ip redirects so 127.0.0.1 are many places
He got it at SCALE, it seems legit... Tailscale staff gave it to him lol
I've refused to move a fully loaded rack across a level floor with low, closed loop carpet. The idea of trying to bring it down the stairs is absolutely absurd.
And that's before we get to 'you moved tens of thousands of dollars of fragile, carefully wired equipment, without notifying the owners - why should I not have you arrested?'
I did know that, but my version is more fun. Thanks though, that's maybe not super commonly known and I was saying things that sounded like I didn't know, so I appreciate the information.
yup, customer was billed and did not dispute. if they went after the movers down the line i dont know.
Now what'll really cook your noodle is thinking about how from a photon's perspective, it never moved. It popped into existence at one place, then it was in another place, then it stopped existing.
but... obviously it moved lol
That the work crew was even willing to risk it is nuts to me
They're on wheels, sure... so you can move the empty cabinet
Loaded? Well, we saw how that worked out.
Honestly surprised they got as far as the stairs.
And it's not like they're big wheels, either - I think they're like 3" on my APC cabinet?
If that.
something like that, it was years ago and I was hearing it 2nd hand so I don't know know the specifics.
I don't know that our DR plan really covers 'unauthorized moving crew dropped the rack with the main cluster down the stairs'
I guess there is a plan, but I think it kinda assumes the loss is transient - like... the power to the COLO went out and the disks are corrupted, but we still have the hardware...
Someone can still go poke it with a stick

I am new to Discord so I have no clue what the heck I’m doing but I am here to try and get support setting up my new Home Assistant Green… is there a specific area I can look for help?
I think I messed something up already 🙁
Thank you
Lol @dusk pier I guess im over 30 years in IT and I still don’t have a clue what I am supposed to be doing… you will get there
Lmao that makes me nervous
You'll learn that anyone who's too confident is not to be trusted, they're simply pretending like they know instead of knowing that they don't
People that can openly say i don't know i have to look that up are worth so much
Keeps you from chasing BS someone else might say
I haven't really used the discord since they changed it to topics. Is there anywhere to chat with people who might know about the voice assist pipeline? The short of it is I have a sensor called Google Travel Time. When I say What is google travel time it says "Google travel time is" and leaves out "38 minutes" even though the value is 38, and duration_in_traffic is 43 mins. Is there a place to easily configure this?
if you put all that in a post in #1284966915055288530 , you can start that discussion
Has anyone here had any success with getting Wyze Bridge to work? I have some Wyze V3 cameras on the latest wyze firmware, and I can't get these to work with Wyze Bridge at all.

I have an older v2 still working on bridge but I haven't updated the docker in quite some time and that may be why. Try looking into Thingino, been playing with that since yesterday. it's a little buggy but does work and ditches the wyze stuff entirely if you are ok with losing the ability to remotely view the camera from an app
How the hell do I not have a usb-a to usb-a cable
No-one should ever have one of those
apparently they use to be used for connecting external drives at one point in time
I need it for a uart connection
Only the bottom-of-the-barrel garbo ones
since appartntly usb c can't passivly power the device
So it requires me to plug into the camera to work?
thingino? it replaces the cameras firmware. look it up on youtube you'll see
legend has it they are still in the process of swapping out those batteries... https://youtube.com/shorts/i1rHUG9Z0D0?si=aJjEMTS07JBa4PUX
@tidal bronze how you recovering from the bubonic plague?
doesn't look too bad tbh
Een fragment uit de review van het Formule 1 seizoen 1994 van RTL5, met commentaar van Olav Mol en Jos Verstappen over de pitbrand in Hockenheim (Duitsland) bij Benetton.
it's slow as hell. and what do you think those batteries on the side will do if they get struck?
have you ever watched endurance racing? pitstops can take minutes. Sometimes they do full repairs
this was basically a fuel stop...
wouldn't want to imagine how much longer it would take if they had to repair anything lol
Cant wait for hydrogen car racing.
there are still people who think hydrogen cars will beat EVs. I pray for them
Praying is good.

5am on the Sunday morning when the FIA WEC Championship #91 Porsche GTE Pro car comes in for a pit stop driver change. The pit crew spring into action no matter what time of day it is. Fantastic to view so close up, you can almost smell the hot race car and fresh Michelin tyres.
No clue man. Too many time zones too quick.

What's funny is that started with the Automat many, many years ago
I had no idea that they were international
makes me think of vending machines that you'd find in a government building
Egg salad sandwiches don't ever go bad, right?
In any case, the first one above is basically taking something that already exists and adding But with Robots!!
You typically find these at high througput locations. Like big train stations will have one or malls
Stuff is not in there for more than a few hours
I find it almost offensive when I see over-complicated designs like that gripper arm when we figured this out with 'bunch of locking flaps' a century ago.
Like, there's reinventing the wheel, and then there's deciding it'd actually be better if your bicycle were maglev or something equally impractical, y'know?
I recognize that the flaps offer limited frontage, but you can belt feed in new stock or hell, use one of those corkscrew feeders like in the snack vending machines that have been around for decades.
There's just... so many more robust ways to solve the problem before you need to get to expensive solutions like a gripper arm

I also loves me some conveyor belt sushi
At least you get to see the people making it
Usually
I enjoy the concept. I can't get over the texture of the vinegar rice in sushi though - and that's before we get to 'eww, raw fish' - which is not a consistent preference - I love few things more than a good blue steak
which yeah, is cooked, but... barely.
I don't mind pineapple on pizza although I wouldn't say it is a great topping choice considering all the other options! and its water content can ruin an under cook pizza. But I really don't get what all the heated debate is about!
I think a lot of people are doing it with much too large pieces which have not been adequately drained.
There's a place not far from me which does one with ham, pineapple, marsichino cherries and very thinly sliced almonds, which you'd think would be disgusting, but it's amazing. It's like a ... savory amaretto sour that's also a pizza?
I'll stick with supreme, thanks 🤌
The problem with pineapple in my book is people pair it with all sweet ingredients.
Ham, bbq sauce, it's all just more sugar.
Add some jalapenos or something to provide contrast, can be just fine.
Still wouldn't be my first choice, but I don't hate it, when applied appropriately
Pizza place near me has a pizza called Hawaiian Punch. Tomato sauce, mozzarella, rosemary Italian ham, pineapple, red onion, pickled jalapeno, chives. Very good.
Has the sweet, spicy, tangy, all up in there.
Haha I’m screenshoting that ingredient list to do it at home sometime
Always a solid option, and if your town doesn't have a strong pizza restaurant I might avoid straying too far from the staples, but man... you're missing out.
Sounds great.
I had pizza for lunch at the local pub. Was a white sauce with olives, sundried tomatoes, basil and chorizo
Considering it's just a neighbourhood pub, to have actually decent brick oven pizza is surprising
yeah, ham is a terrible pairing with pineapple.. at least swap it out for pepperoni
Meh.
It's almost 4am, and I've been at work for an hour. The reason I was called in early has been fixed, but it's an hour round trip to go home and come back, and my normal start time is 7am. Not even worth going back home.
All I had to do was restart the access control system for a specific building. But as the building is part of a county and city jail complex, there's absolutely no remote access to any of it.
30minutes of work. 4 hours of OT. Let's get paid..
Walked past one of the work-release inmates pushing a laundry basket, he remarks "you're here early " to which I responded, "yeah, been here since 3am" .. his smart ass says "well Ive been here since May so if we're competing...." Lmao

one of my favorite pizzas at a local italian restaurant was one with bacon and gorgonzola 😋
that looks fucking gross
Banana and kiwi are kinda neat
But nothing with a rind please
Looks like mold colonies 🤮
This is what they call 'moving the Overton window'
i only like the white part
you would

Not really a fan, but it's okay along with other wet ingredients in, say, a fruit salad
dessert pizzas are made with dough like what funnel cakes are made of and then it's just some type of filling then fruit on top. so not much different than like a streusel
national shotage of data cente workers.. wtf
must be the people who do the heavy lifting part of the job lol
They haven't heard of the concept of a crane or forklift yet!
the drive forklifts between acks of seves?
They should stop carrying bits in wheelbarrows and use cables like civilized people
It's called a pipe
Or for condensed ones there also are belts
Satisfactory told me so
lol
Maybe, if the cool watermelon is placed on the pizza after its cooked so it remains crunchy
you cook watemelon?
never ...
Americans the moment something is fitting into the mouth of people
Watermelon - the water
puts it on the bbq
don't hate
on a related note, i've grilled cucumber before lol
it's actually good
and broccoli actually, but I prefer oven roasted
did it take like cucumbe?
cucumber i hardly know 'er
you grilled water
basically lol. The skin gets a nice char though
I hate this conversation so much
M A I L L A R D R E A C T I O N
I think I might need therapy after reading this chat.
or whiskey?
Watermelon, Earthmelon, Airmelon and Firemelon - the Elemelons

Fingers crossed the vet doesn't come back in this room with bad news
Are vets cheaper than normal docs?
Normal doctors won't see animals
But horse meds work on humans aswell
Just use like half a dose because you know they are larger
So it's cheaper
And no unless you actually fork out for pet insurance everything is out of pocket
Steroids are the same for humans and animals too and way cheaper off chewy than the pharmacy well if you don't have insurance that is
Scary to think about those labs vs ones pharmacy's use
Prob looks the same as a line making shoes

Hey Unraiders, Unraid 7.2.0-beta.2 is live!
🔹 Built-in API — Powering notifications and third-party apps and tools
📖 Full details @ here: https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-7-2-0-beta.2
eww unraid

I dislike it conceptually.
don't get me wrong, if someone uses it and is happy with it then power to them. its none of my business
Yeah I don't care either heh
although... its better then synology
which is not a high bar
again, if people are synology enjoyers. i am not hating on you. if it works for you then great.
I am a synology user and I hate it .
synologys target market is basically - "somebody told me i need a nas and i dont understand what that is or why I need it"
do you even RAID bro?
unraid is more - "i need a server but i dont want one. i dont know how to server and i dont want to learn because i dont actually want one but i still need one"
it's like buying apple. Way too expensive, difficult to upgrade or repair, your non-tech friends will think you're cool, but it also just works. Until they broke USB support for no reason that is.
I didn't even know what unraid is
you pay for a UI for opensource tools to give you a makeshift server
yup
I can understand why that would appeal to some people though
oh yeah, i do see the flip side of it. i just dislike it conceptually
if truenas was more friendly less people would use unraid.
although making truenas friendly is another project called HexOS which is a simalar thing to unraid but its built on top of truenas and you can still access truenas ui for "advanced" stuff etc...
what's the story behind Rule 11?
Do not discuss punishments given to others or yourself outside of private messages
My literal interpretation means saying something like i got muted for x hours for doing y is against the rules - is that true?
i dislike HexOS for the same reasons but it gets some points for not totally cutting the user off from truenas ui and also some of the stuff they made for it is being upstreamed into zfs and stuff so its helping its source projects
no idea, but that seems like a Missy question
Backseat modding usually isn't really helpful or might even become toxic. And discussing own punishments might make it worse in the heat of the moment.
They are not a basis for a public discussion. If someone feels treated unfair, it can be discussed in private - either with a mod or the community manager.
Jorg reveals all 🙂
fair enough, but as written the rule seems way to broad
To use your example:
i got muted for x hours for doing y
alone would not be a discussion, as long as it is just stating the fact in a non-complaining way.
If the reason, the disciplinary action or the one issuing is debated - that would be unwanted behavior. As well as making fun of others.
someone say they wanted unwanted behavior...
That would be unwanted wanted unwanted behavior.

can you edit or clarify the rule? it really stands out on a first-read-through
I will forward your feedback to our community manager.
👍

Random one: is there anywhere aside from here, the HA forums and the HA subreddit to seek help? I've got a very annoying problem that I can't find a solution for. Even resorted to the HA Facebook group of all places.
If you can't get help here or on the subreddit, I doubt there's many places people will be able to help you - most "experts" are in one or both of those two places
So ummmm.... What would this issue even be? https://github.com/lbbrhzn/ocpp/issues/1688
Describe the bug When trying to get a faster report time for changes to TXProfile etc, I changed MeterValueSampleInterval to 10s. When doing this, the energy usage reported in HA is waaaaaay above ...
Is that energy, configuration, hardware or integrations? 😐
#1284966582375813201 asking about a 3rd party integration.
Also #find-support in future.
hmmm unless I have the wrong energy config......
Likely when you changed the config it glitched the energy sensor. Check the sensor's history. and post in #1284966582375813201
It seems constant though - if I turn the reporting period to anything other than 60 seconds, it seems to exponentially increase the actual figures
so either the integration is configuring HA wrong for it somehow, or something is weird with how HA is interpretting it 😐
Dude, no support here. #1284966582375813201 of if you insist it is HA Energy dashboard the #1284966203026182206
Or, I should be using a better measurement device lol
That would be #1284966353798697001 with the recommendations tag.
eh - not worth the splattergun stuff, I'll just try and figure it out....
I only stay here for #memes tbh hahahahah
what kind of name is Tim Tam
The best kind.
"mm these tic tac's sure are good.. oh I know a name for this sheep's turd!"

I love the convenience of Zigbee2MQTT because when I want to dim my lights, all I have to do is unlock my phone, open the HA app, go to the Zigbee2MQTT tab, click my bulb, go to the exposes tab, and drag the handy slider, presto
I don't even have to get up, it's all 5 taps, a pattern lock and a slide away
This seems like sarcasm lol
Now actually automate it so you never have to manually adjust it.
those are #1284966582375813201
I wanted to try it.
... except they elected to use the most fucktarded possible way to configure it
MDNS
which does not always fucking behave itself on some routers.
with no fallback.
then again ending up not using it since I wouldnt be able to virtualize my igpu yet without way more effort than it should be and etc./
what do you use your igpu for with HA?
can be done with proxmox.
cannot be done with truenas scale at all that I've been able to see so far..
whats the deal with onvif? in frigate it seems to just link to the main stream.. I thought onvif (outside of ptz controls) was suppose to be like all fancy and provid both main and sub
Works fine with AMD iGPU on TrueNAS
It doesn't produce an entity for dimming
huh
odbc2 reader for HA?
It was too good not to share
Is the camera setup to use multiple streams? Most come with only mainstream activated
None of us are allowed on site, there is a leak on the cooling system and fire bregade is here
I swear I didn't do anything 🤣
yea it has a main and sub.
using AI to turn operate your house is like having a toddler turning on the lights (or the heater lol) for you
Anyone notice the pihole integration being a bit wacky on first setup, in like the latest version of HA?
Just that I had all the info correct, but got a auth error from the app password. Though clicking "submit" or whatever a few times got it to go through. Just seemed odd, but maybe its something with my PiHole instance or network
The latest verion or pihole is the issue. There are bugs
Which light dimmer is that?
It's a philips hue bulb, not trying to start a support thing in the water cooler, I just thought it was funny cause I've been living like this a few days thinking hoho technology every time
Gotcha, interesting. Well a bit of virtual concussive maintenance seems to get it to work, least appears to ha
I just find it difficult to believe that no entity is exposed. Doubly so now that it is a Hue bulb. Is your light listed here: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/#v=Philips
And if so, which one?
What do you mean by exposed? I don't get the terminology in this area
It sounds like mixing up 2 concepts
I still need to set up a luminance sensor outside and then make some lookup to control my living room lights...
The brightness is exposed, that's how I am editing it in my convenient 5 taps, pattern lock and slide
That's my dream sorta
not actually pursuing it because it doesn't seem terribly important but still
my dream is fully automatic sort of sunset cancelling (minus colour temp, probably)
We must stand up to nature
I haven't decided on the hardware yet
But I want an outdoor weather station that does at least luminance, temperature, rainfall, windspeed
And then tie some stuff to it
Oh yeah, my plan is more comfy/fitting to the outside than cancel it out
do weather stations come with luminance?
When I looked into it like 1-2 months ago I saw one that does
My EPL arrived today 🙂
Also can someone pls help me out
I want to know the advantages of Tasmota on tuya devices
To home assistant. If it is in Z2M then it is in HA.
The light device will be in the MQTT integration.
If the onvif port and user/ pw right it should inspect it without issue then
yeah the bulb is, just can't change brightness
Hmmm what to upgrade this month
mdns reliance is a problem. dns always causes problems
So when you click on the bulb name there is no brightness control in the pop-up card?
all hue bulbs support brightness, you're doing something wrong here.
yea they bought into the phillips ecosystem
So have I, they are hands down the best bulb out there
(that's not wifi)
and fuck wifi
I know you joke, but it's really nice for watching TV
"can't see shit in my own house" gave me a good chuckle
It's very true 🤣
That's poor man's talk for you can't afford the 1600lm variants
oh shit, they have a 100w now?
They have a 3000lm outdoor strip now i think
they should make one that's bright enough to light up your entire house all at once so that you only need one
at night
Someone should make a countermeme saying yellow is oh so original
Oh... I guess I got zigbee2mqtt for nothing xD I only got it cause I couldn't find it and some sources said you needed hue bridge and that mqtt exposes more features
though, from the sound of it, it still is better in some important ways
is there a (relatively simple+) way to get a dashboard display from the HDMI on a green or something?
(+it's linux, I know it could be done, technically)
would be cool to have a status dashboard or something booted up in a kiosk browser on it, in this place an HDMI runs from the rack to the main TV and the only thing in the rack righ tnow with HDMI is HA lol
No.
Ah, okay, dang. Usually when I think of stuff, it's already been hacked up.
I'd probably have to make a custom image and fun stuff like that then. Ah well, no big deal.
Thanks 🙂
HAOS has no UI to show dashboards. Another OS with a container install could work. But I am not aware of an out-of-the-box image available for the HA Green. #1284966540617449515 might be able to help with details.
stuff a chromecast in that tv and cast a dashboard whenever the chromecast has been idle for 2 minutes. works fine.
WANT
except that it doesn't have a proper numeric keypad or home/page up/page down/end keys 😩
it's also completely overkill for my needs anyway lol
then there's this which does have that, but it's ARM 
you sure you wanna buy intel these days?
They gotta get that copilot button
I'm only concerned about ARM because of software compatibility, but maybe there's less of a gap with that than before
nah I don't care about AI shit lol
I'd replace
with Ubuntu immediately anyway
Good point, especially with the overheating nonsense with some of the latest processors
If it wasn't clear, neither do I, haha
I will admit my mindset about x86 still being more compatible than ARM might be outdated now
we'll tell the openAI corporate hit squad to add you to the list of undesirables.
I'd give fedora 42 a shot as well
damn clankers
m'linux 
look, I don't want to kinkshame
I laughed so hard at the original clankers meme
which ones that
I think its one of the only cases in history where a slur doesn't actually hurt people
... just ai bullshit and techbros.
and we both know those aren't people.
its from 2008.. 🤣
or 2005.. from the game. 🙃
oh wow

This is literally my kid, every cat he sees

A long tortoise shell who never shuts the fuck up
A seal
A cat who always hides in its paws
And this fucking thing
I got the best 3 cats though
But yeah, maybe we should have more
Sorry for my degenerate ramblings
I just have verbal diarrhea today
Excuse me
It rolls around on the floor with its paws tucked in

It might even be a seal
I can't even tell them apart

"and to the racoon God gave hands, but not shame"
I've just tossed my 3rd sd card after my reolink doorbell corrupted the card after power outages.
us a software nvr or get a reolink nvr instead
can the reolink push recordings without an sd card?
they have rtsp abilities. so they just push the feed
ahh, but then you lose the notifications don't you?
yes.. the reolink notification?
I mean if you intergrate it with HA you can make your own and not use the reolink app
I'd have to scrub the footage manually
and if you use something like frigate you will get alot more options
You're not my real dad!!!
I have to tell you something RobC. Your mom and I ...
frigate.
reolink doorbell can be a little.. bit of a pain in the ass
but it does work
ya, it recommends not using wifi cams
I mean you can use like.. one
Ive used that one before it does work
just make sure its stable
preferably on a 2.4ghz wifi
because its weird with other stuff
gotcha, worth a shot. thanks
Lol using sd cards in each camera, it's a distributed NVR
Gotta sell it like a feature
I cannot even begin to imagine those people who had like a bunch of those sdcard cameras back before they made apps to fetch those recording from the network having to fetch and download each card of each camera every week or whatever
Ah shit, here I go playing Dark Souls III again
My friend bought me that game years ago just to watch me fail

no, thats a cat. silly sweden
Touch it neow
Hi
you slept well? lol
That cat is just waiting for the right time to attack. Watch your back
I think people are unhappy with the reolinks because they don't buy the nvr
without it, its jsut another fiddly camera
like my garbage tuya cam that dropped off the network and now wants cloud creds so i hate it
I wish I ran POE instead of 2-wire power + coax to all my cam locations
i dunno wtf i was thinking
nobody to blame but myself tho
The reolink poe doorbell is great
The only thing that is (understandably) bad is the lack of room to connect the cable, I ran stp cable to be able to use a surge protector on it, no room for the plug, or to enter with the cable (that's what she said)
I'm not seeing problems with the wifi cams so far, but also, I don't talk to them directly, I talk to them via the nvr
Yeah it's definitely a tight squeeze || giggity ||
last time I looked at cmaeras, the nvr's were in the thousands.. so the idea of "nvr" is a scary word
IIRC I don't think a cable with a strain relief boot would even fit
all hail the 19" rack
Honestly I feel like nvrs can be replaced with milestone or such boxes and die a death, most of them are awful compared to a proper nvr software with appropriate hardware
Going to be a special 19 inch rack, I won't spoil the surprise, but safe to say, it will be jankmaxx+++++
I guess.. the reolink one does exactly what I want, I don't have complaints really
well I have one small complaint. no rack ears. But I'll live
Not that I bother with strain relief boots anymore
Did you just reply

Omg this is amazing
It is like your internal monolog

I love it
I think my next major worry/freakout/mass replacement ha wise, is my logitech harmony, which I worry will just stop working one of these days..
All the cool kids just get up and press buttons, like the old days
the idea of using a phone to control the tv somehow annoys me tho
You mean like a peasant
grandpa wants his tactile buttons on his digital remote
I just used wol to wake the tv, and use the amp to swap inputs
But I only have an nv shield, so all I really needed was volume
Apex predator
wait that's a self burn
Welcome, fellow trash lover
F*CK
The raccoon trash show or the gif?
HA could totally replace my logitech harmony, I just have no reasonable input device.
dear universe: please make a remote with an esp32 in it i can just reflash, love, me.
Yes
I have also come to the conclusion, after mucking about with voice, that I don't want to talk to my house.
my house is s smartass
I feel like it's a unix brain thing. I could have hit a stupid button by the time I said "turn on the light", I just need the button in the right place
so now I just need more buttons... moar buttons.. buttons everywhere. a chaos of buttons.
I don't doubt that, but I'm using them only outdoors and not seeing any issues that bug me
again, would def use POE if that was an option
part of it is I live on an acre, so I don't have 6 other houses crowding my RF
yeah, I can see like 2, barely. sometimes a third
omg
I mean, mine looks like that, but thats because I have 4 of my own... so...
lol
yeah i really need two APs in this place (long but narrow loft), but one centrally located is good enough
and i'd have to run cabling in a nonsense way to do it how i want since we rent
I'm thinking of dropping one of my networks, but then I have to go around and find all the devices that are locally programmed to talk to it and reconfig htem
FAST
my internet is poo because boonies

standard bikes look weird compared to their original counter parts
wdym?
that headlight assembly
prior to "futuristic" areodynamics the bikes had a flow to them.. now they look like mutated chickens
or praying mantis
yes but also jo
no
cafe racers still exists or super sports
nakeds aren’t aerodynamic tbh
not seen a "modren" cafe racer.. not sure if they changed in looks or not but sport bikes don't look like that they have more flow
that they do. turbo and superchargers on off the shelf motorcycles is proof that shit certianly does change lol
hrmm.. swapped my pi3 for a pi4, hoping this dashboard stops crashing now... 🙂
I mean it should help.
But you should also.. figure out why exactly it was crashing because HA shouldn't do that on its own..
well.. ha wasn't crashing, the browser i ran on this pi was
or the whole pi, either way
why are you running a browser on it too?
It's maddening that they still don't feel the need to put proper displays onto them
Like you get '5.5" tft'
surely they couldn't just like, get something real the size of a smartphone?
yeah. this one is a normal 21" monitor, no touch screen, just a ever-running dashboard
thats more borderline with what I could call a standard bike than cafe
No that relates to them bikes
cafe are usually lowered
wait, the bike has a display?
Sigh
lots of them lately it seems
lots of elon stans are very stupid motherfuckers
it makes it very likely to succeed.
i cant seem to on desktop either? 🤔
That looks like a terrible ride
yea but I usually see that lowered
sport bikes for the urban crawlers
I guess standard and naked are diffrent classifications now. use to be one in the same
which is dumb. they make sport bikes without fairings and class them under naked lol
that do be correct

what a i doing wrong here
I kinda miss the 200x era where those clearance deal websites were all the rage.
Most of it was trash, but there was the odd deal worth having, and consumables like blank DVDs were always cheap
thats what this site is. think those switched are discontinued
can slap tasmota on it so proba esphome as well so they have that going for them
capacitive touch light switch is meh tho.. pass lol
There's a logo on the RF can of the ESP in that FCC doc that leads to an official integration, too
IMHO larger issue with discontinued hardware is unless you buy a whole lot of extras, once they start dying you have to find something else (that doesn't match, visually) to replace them
I mean that's a problem with everything, but even worse in this case
well you run that risk with everything. why we should support products like shelly lol
sadly this isn't a reliable indicator anymore that an ESP is still inside
a large number of manufacturers moved away from ESPs years ago
amazon listing for those switches shows an image with tasmota on them. pretty good indicator tho lol
Seems like a shit system if they're allowed to change the RF hardware without re-certifying it and getting a different FCC ID
I mean at this point I wouldn't be surprised, but feels like that defeats the entire point
they might have a separate line preflashed with tasmota. a handful of manufacturers have done that, such as Martin Jerry
pretty cool honestly
also are you sure the logo isn't...

Lol why does that look like a butt wearing a hat
This is from the founders of Woot before Amazon destroyed them (https://shoddygoods.meh.com/p/how-the-woot-was-lost-shoddy-goods?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1icx2&fbclid=IwY2xjawMXN7ZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuzHpksGlTG_gxdzY6LsAUv7afqDURLil4HwgRJNZ2Q_bWKc56H6vRsHaC4o_aem_IoiQe7i78QeLr2-k-uLfvQ&triedRedirect=true).
