@midnight adder Diffrence is that 8 years ago the arch wiki wasnt very good, its more to do with how the kernel manages gplv2 complience

#

Its a optimus laptop right

#

you could just use the intel graphics

#

yeah

#

What is your laptop anyway

#

Hmm, i wonder if asus are doing something, i have a optimus laptop and kind of got it working quite well

#

@midnight adder Try setting this up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

#

Well, its not realy a bug

#

Ohh, they still have that stupid issue with wayland on ubuntu

#

@midnight adder I know the issue you are on about

Does gdm start for you?

#

@midnight adder Here is how disable it for gdm https://askubuntu.com/questions/975094/how-to-disable-wayland-in-17-10-in-gdm3-login-screen/975188

#

everyone in the linux world has target fixation on a WIP display sever called wayland that is quite bashful and expects GPU vendors to just do what they say

#

and becuse of the target fixation eveyone has enabled it by defult

Make it use x11

@midnight adder There is someone in my church who will only drive a ka

#

they dont make them anymore iirc @midnight adder

#

they have the brand still, but it is larger https://www.ford.co.uk/cars/ka-plus?vehicleNavCategory=small cars

#

Its more like a feasta now

#

I want a car with this in https://www.automotivelinux.org/

#

so far it is only in one toyota

#

its this car https://www.toyota.com/camry/

#

@midnight adder Yep, when i finaly learn to drive i would probably get a toyota or any decent eletric car on the market or do my own conversion

#

@midnight adder Now i wonder why one of the most popular manufaturer in the US is toyota, i think its toyota

#

I pesonaly like mazda

#

I look at BMW's and the other german cars and go, ooh, they are nice, but they are basicly the apples of the car world

#

Yeah

#

One good thing about eletric cars is that they are basicly automatic without the problems of automatics

#

and due to my spld it means it is easyer for me to learn

#

Im dyspraxi though, moter control(Hand eye cordination isnt the best) isnt my strong point

#

I am tempted to get a gaming stearing wheel with shifter to practice on, totaly not to play racing games

#

But then again, i dont want to drive a comustion engine car, and manual electrics dont exisit yet, and if they do they will the shift by wire

#

I kinda want to convert a car

#

@midnight adder Most of the conversion kits a modular, so you could replace it with better stuff

#

Raspberry pi

#

I would probably make there still be a canbus in the car

#

this person converted a mini http://evmini.ca/

#

It looks like he kind of did

#

yep

#

or ones with dead batterys

#

A lot of the early ones used lead acid batterys and are mostly dead now

#

I remember when I was younger a day where the trains didn't run, because the diesel was frozen, and even when they lit fires under the trains to thaw it, all the wheels were frozen to the tracks so they couldn't actually move anyway

#

More "grey beard engineer" style I think

#

They knew there was nothing that'd catch fire/melt, and they'd nothing to lose

#

In today's culture, there's no way it'd fly

#

Ah, so save money - go nowhere, thereby saving even more money?

@midnight adder you mentioned earlier that you stopped buying server cases. How do you keep’em cool? If cooling is not a problem, do we really need them?

#

Ok.. I was looking at dell power edge servers- pretty sleek. If I can get a 12U, that would be more than enough for me to begin with. The servers are comparable

#

The 12U racks are around $100 on Amazon. Not sure of the quality

#

I want to set up server farm at home. I have been debating whether to buy NUC, desktop/server tower or rack servers.

#

Have plenty of laptops and don’t want to buy them.

#

I never bought any used stuff before. Always worried about quality. The government auction sites have huge racks and I want something small.

#

Ok...

#

For $1400, I can get a dell power edge with 46GB memory and 500gb disc. Form factor is an issue, but they are servers, they will be in the basement anyway.

#

Really? Use a lot of power?

#

DDR4

#

North America

#

Just went on to dell site. I think it is UDImm

#

Yes. USD

#

I don’t know. Never did that before 😊

#

I typically go over to Micro Center to get parts if something needs replaced.

#

Yes. Xeon processor and ECC UDIMM memory

fading ice Jan 12, 2018, 2:10 PM

Since you guys are talking server hardware, can I get your input on which CPU to use? I have both in 2 older servers, but not sure which I should make my primary until I can upgrade the hardware: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E5-1603-vs-Intel-Core-i7-920

@clever mortar that DS380 looks pretty!

clever mortar Jan 12, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

It is, and it has a hot swap back plane (and a real one, with capacitors and stuff, unlike Lian-Li and others)

#

But, there's about next to no spare space inside before you cable it all up. Once it's cabled up it's a challenge to work with.

Be prepared for much cursing and scraped skin

You can get some great motherboards that fit though

fading ice Jan 12, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

so this might be a dumb question - those 2 processors I sent earlier, how can I tell if they have the same socket? i.e., could I put the i7 CPU in the motherboard that the Xeon is on right now?

#

where would I find that out?

clever mortar Jan 12, 2018, 2:44 PM

#

Also, check the manufacturer's site for the motherboard

#

Some might require a particular board or firmware revision for some chips

fading ice Jan 12, 2018, 2:46 PM

different socket support on ark.intel i guess means they can't be switched?

why was google assistant and even alexa device customizations moved from customize to the core element? thats so seriously retarded, how does one customize elements inside packages now?

@worn jasper I would have said the other way round. I hate using customize. It is far easier to have the attributes close to the entity itself.

worn jasper Jan 15, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

so how do i customize that then?

#

  google_assistant:
    entity_config:
      switch.kitchen:
        expose: false
        alias: roof lights
        name: nice lights
        type: light

See my example https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/configuration.yaml#L118

#

if i have to put that into every single package to change the name of something thats freaking stupid

serene mortar Jan 15, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

why would you change it in every package

#

it is only required where you are defining the assistant

worn jasper Jan 15, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

because i want my entities contained into their own file,e verything affecting the naming of it as well

#

the logic of changing it tells me that the team wants users to define the files their way

maintaining both is too much work and prone to errors

its just electrical, right?

just have to plug it in to the correct spots on the nano

although I'm not sure what to do with 3v... because that should be powered.

I don't know, I think the connector is a digital one

@lusty root you would need to set up the google assistant component. https://home-assistant.io/components/google_assistant/. Basically your own app which pulls in HA devices

the addon turns your pi into a diy google home without all the functionality of a regular google home, and does require mic and speakers. Most do not want it

Yes, it can be confusing.

hello, who can help with problem in nodeMCU-(OpenMQTTGateway)? after boot it's only starting to work if i connecting to the monitor via the com port.

pure vine Jan 17, 2018, 10:35 AM

#

@night stream please ask in #general-archived

clever mortar Jan 17, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

See, I'd say a generic NodeMCU question isn't on topic there (or any other channel)

#

If it was "how do I make it work with HA", yes, but that's more a "it only works if I have a serial cable attached" which has nothing to do with HA

pure vine Jan 17, 2018, 10:55 AM

#

@clever mortar Illd say its #general-archived as i assume he is using it with HA and #general-archived says "AppDaemon, Floorplan, iOS app, Android app, OwnTracks, Locative, Tasker...all about the Home Assistant ecosystem!" the nodeMCU is definatly part of the ecosystem now

pure vine Jan 17, 2018, 11:00 AM

especily if it is a MQTT thing

I'd tackle that as a separate issue in #general-archived

#

Probably you've got an automation that's running at/around startup

night stream Jan 17, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

yes i have an automation.

#

im using HA to receive rf remote signal and send another RF signal

i think the gateway receive an MQTT value when HA starts..

Well, from my understanding, there were some relatively good reasons for the BSD issue. Various folks refused to sign NDAs, and some developers have previously not so much burned bridges, as nuked them from orbit.

dry cairn Jan 24, 2018, 7:26 AM

you can hide it or you can create another tab

cool

dry cairn Jan 24, 2018, 7:28 AM

#

https://hastebin.com/umarufihex.css

#

that goes into a file called tabs.yaml in the .homeassistant folder

#

group: !include tabs.yaml

goes into teh configuration.yaml

#

before you open that can of worms you need to learn how ha works

#

for the time beeing you should keep it on the main gui tab

night stream Jan 24, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

ha ha "can of worms"

dry cairn Jan 24, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

add all your devices etc etc

#

yeah its rather complicated

#

seems like you new

#

i assume all your stuff is in the configuration.yaml

night stream Jan 24, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

i am

#

yes it is

dry cairn Jan 24, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

a great idea is to put each device and its automations in a seperate file

#

#

only thing is you won't be able to use the gui automation editor

which is a whole other can of worms

that thing is just bad atm

i dont use it, gui automation editor

dry cairn Jan 24, 2018, 7:34 AM

k

#

if you put

  packages: !include_dir_named packages

into teh configuration.yaml you can create a folder called packages in .homeassistant and put all your devices in seperate files

#

OK

#

and for automation?

dry cairn Jan 24, 2018, 7:37 AM

#

same thing

#

you can put the switch in the file and below the automation

#

https://hastebin.com/rosiyetoki.cs

#

that is one file for 1 device

night stream Jan 24, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

let me try

#

exapt for adding the folder in the conf.yamal, how do i tell it to include the file ?

#

in config.yaml i added packages: !include_dir_named packages

NASA Issues Formal Apology For 1969 Genocide Of Moon Natives

WASHINGTON—Saying the long-overdue gesture was a step towards atoning for the space agency’s past transgressions, NASA issued a formal apology Wednesday for the 1969 genocide of the moon’s native population. “The time has come to recognize NASA’s detestable role in the massacre of the moon’s original inhabitants,” said NASA spokesperson Natalie Warheit, adding that the blood of countless indigenous moon natives would forever be on the organization’s hands. “When we first set foot upon the moon, we found a thriving and peaceful civilization that welcomed our astronauts as friends and even worshipped Neil Armstrong as a god. Shamefully, we exploited their trust by slaughtering thousands, indirectly killing even more by exposing them to Earth diseases against which they had no defense, and then burying them all in mass graves by the Mare Serenitatis basin. NASA apologizes unequivocally for these atrocities.” At press time, NASA had also issued an apology for its role in toppling the democratic government of Neptune during the Voyager 2 mission.

@last plaza thats nice i like poweredge servers

#

#

last plaza Jan 27, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

you can configure and customize online that fits your needs... I wanted to get 1U rack server initially, but this can also go into a rack if I decide to expand

#

those are expensive!!! @dry cairn

dry cairn Jan 27, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

no it wasn t hahahaha i sniped that thing on fleabay for 800$

#

thou shall not buy new servers when you can get one 2 years old for under 1k 😛

last plaza Jan 27, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

mine is only 8 cores - single xeon processor but has room to add another processor in the future, but RAM is limited to 64GB

#

dry cairn Jan 27, 2018, 3:52 PM

I didnt have much luck with NUC, and I'm spending $1200 for that anyway.. thought I'd get something more powerful.... I'm not worried about form factor atm

#

I have never setup ESXi before.... that would be interesting week next week

dry cairn Jan 27, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

its fairly easy

#

just make sure you do the storage correctly

Please don't spam all the servers you're on with that message, it'll just annoy server admins

#

If it's true, you should be reporting it to Discord

#

Spreading the message around the servers achieves nothing useful @unreal bronze

#

I did, i made the message myself. I just wanted to let people know. Sorry

clever mortar Jan 27, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

Your message sounds very much like the FUD messages that get spread, which have no basis in reality - the modern version of the "if you break this chain..." chain letters 😉

Hi guys, I would like to use a Wemos D1 Mini (ESP8266) with a simple reed sensor to publish the state over MQTT. I want a simple Door sensor which doesn't make more than just publish the state of the reed sensor. I searched the net but I only found tutorials and codes which are overpowered, I got one example to run, but it creates its own unsecured WLAN .. Can somebody give me a hint where to find a simple sketch for me? Or maybe a hint how to build it by myself? Im a newbie at programming, so it's kinda hard to start for me ..

#

oh sorry, wrong channel 🏃

normal wolf Jan 28, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

has anyone done a video on esp8266 door sensor who is battery powered for HA

dry cairn Jan 29, 2018, 12:06 AM

@Em_Cee#3176 espeasy is prolly what you want

hey folks, can someone help me with understanding how to install this NEEO connector (btw the remote is stunning)

#

(this is a fork of the original but adds scripts)

#

to someone familar with linux, this is prob a normal process - but i cant work out how to install it

#

Copy .env.example to .env and set the options. URL should not have a trailing slash. [DONE]
Run npm install to install dependencies. <-- where
Run with node index.js <-- errrrm help?
does it go in custom components, does it install itself into HA?

Something quite funny I have discovered with my laptop, the nvidia optimus on it works better with optirun under Linux then it does with the official drivers under windows
