@clear ferry i listened to a podcast where one of the lead devs of kubernetes was the guest

#

And the podcast host, who works as a developer and has interviewed hundreds of developers, asks.

#

So is it pronounced kubectl?

#

And the developer with a smug tone goes " No, it's Kube Control "

Well yes, that is how I would pronounce it too 🤷 I call it a work related injury

Installing Docker on a Raspberry Pi Zero W for HA is... interesting

proven yoke May 3, 2019, 9:36 AM

I dunno. Guess I'm naive. To me it should be as simple as "apt-get install docker-ce" But apparently the latest version has bugs on this particular ARM cpu and needs a docker downgrade.

Are you expecting to actually run Docker on that Zero?

As I said, and as the official guidance says, Pi3B will do fine for getting you going, and possibly far beyond

RM HD 12 $189 vs Rachio 3 $224 vs RM Pro 16 is $229.

I think the biggest factor is the integration with HA though.

The extra $40 was worth it to me because I have a lot of 2.4ghz interference in my neighborhood

99 times out of 100 an integration with local connectivity is going to be better than cloud-based

plus rainmachine advertises "Homeassistant Compatible" on their website, which is a huge boost in confidence from me. Not only is there an integration, but the manufacturers are actively supporting the integration

my parents did too but were still able to login to classic app

so someone in here suggested i try mqtt

flat lintel May 4, 2019, 6:56 AM

even i was able to install classic and login with a samsung account from my phone which i never had done before

modest sentinel May 4, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

I can't log in with my samsung account, only my smartthings account

and my devices were on my samsung account

... but now my devices are missing from that, too

flat lintel May 4, 2019, 6:57 AM

oof

well obviously the best solution here is just migrate all devices to HA

cut out smartthings entirely

im only using ST because it was a cheap dongle for my nvidia shield... I was using wink for years until I finally got un-lazy and migrated to ST

well thankfully a combo Z-Wave/ZigBee USB dongle is even cheaper

well my smartthings dongle was only like 15 bucks because of some sale, but this is tempting

so then I run HA and it sees all my devices natively?

the husbzb you linked says both?

I tried HA years ago before I went to zigbee/zwave completely. I had a pile of hand me down insteon stuff

and recently got into docker on my qnap so i've been installing all the things, which made me think of hass again

Sadly, Intel won the marketing war

clear ferry May 4, 2019, 1:12 PM

Only reason we have decent processors today is that HP bought Digital, gave away the Alpha developers to Intel and bam Nehalem and Skylake is your uncle

Competition drives innovation, which is why I was unhappy when AMD faltered

#

It's not an ideal competitor, but better than nothing

clear ferry May 4, 2019, 1:13 PM

AMD didn't have anything Innovative between 2006 and 2018, which is a shame

Yup, they're just trying to stay in the market

Their latest stuff is kinda cool,but they are too late, and targeting gamers who think RGB gives them better framerates

I haven't bought AMD since their slot based processors

brisk glen May 4, 2019, 1:37 PM

I miss my old AMD cpu from years ago

#

When you upgraded from a single core to a dual core in the same socket

clear ferry May 4, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

Amds first dual cores were a monstrosity, two single cores in a single package, syncing the clock via an os driver.... If you forgot the driver you had negative ping

brisk glen May 4, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

Heh

clever mortar May 4, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

I also remember when AMD didn't have any built in thermal throttling

#

I still have one that I turned into a toaster

Nothing better than swapping out the CPU and running an UNKOWN cpu

Mine only melted the CPU fan housing, and a bit of the fan, and burned and distorted the motherboard

clear ferry May 4, 2019, 1:43 PM

Did the same on my own p3 coppermine, it ran for an hour before shutting down

clever mortar May 4, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

I probably should have shut it off sooner.... but it was dead anyway by that point, so I just watched it for a while 😄

#

Yeah, Intel didn't cut the corners though, they had thermal control built in

clear ferry May 4, 2019, 1:44 PM

#

Think that was there since atleast the pentium original one

#

Amd only got it around 2004 I think

brisk glen May 4, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

I stuck it out with AMD till 2012

#

Intel cpus were just that much more powerful per core at that time that made it pointless to stay

clear ferry May 4, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

I never owned any amd machines, did own one cyrix though

clever mortar May 4, 2019, 1:46 PM

I had a couple of generations of AMD myself

brisk glen May 4, 2019, 1:46 PM

When my dual core outperforms with multi core performance the AMD equivalent of a hex core, there are issues

Yeah

Intel overtook amd in 2007 when Nehalem was released, since that they have not catched up until last year

Intel had a massive lead on them in 2012 it was not even funny anymore

@brisk glen spot on with the lack of proper open source drivers for ARM, getting a SBC to work with the mainline kernel is a nightmare

Guys, i'm thinking of a way to detect the presence of my girlfriend and I when we are home. Yes, we could use wifi on the smartphone and the ping module will tell when we're home or not ...
But, most of the time i turn off my wifi and so does my gf. We both have the xiaomi mi fit. And I wonder... So I asked Mr. Google and indeed there's already a discussion but it just ends.

Is any of you already using some kind of bluetooth sniffer so that it detects your presence?

I'd also say, trying to track people around the house is hard and painful. Better to track behaviours and activities - like tracking if the TV is on, the motion sensor was tripped, etc.

tawny pebble May 4, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

@clever mortar thought about this. i yet have to think about the goodnight routine and planning on using nearby used devices!

clever mortar May 4, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

For that, I'm (partly) using Tasker to report when the phone is put on/taken off charge

#

The wife takes her phone to bed, so when it's disconnected and then reconnected after 22:00 she's off to bed

#

Basically, study the ~~victim~~ end user and see how they and the devices they interact with (that you can track) behave

tawny pebble May 4, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

yep, this is what i thought. but what if that night she does not charge the phone? mine could last even 2 days

clever mortar May 4, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

That's why study them

#

For example, maybe it's a particular TV going off after a certain point, or a media player starting/stopping (bedside clock), or the bedside light going on, or...

#

There will be no one single thing, but you'll find a range of things that are each indicators of various strengths

#

Maybe you combine them all with a bayesian sensor 😉

tawny pebble May 4, 2019, 5:03 PM

Until a few years back I felt the same, but... these days I like having a high resolution widescreen monitor (to go with the two standard HD monitors)

For working with certain software, being able to see the whole width of the thing at once is a game changer

I've been toying with the thought of a home server or nuc for a while,. But honestly the biggest thing I want is to offload is the DB from my hassio pi, and maybe run some misc housekeeping scripts on the network. I don't do heavy file serving, transcoding or anything like that. So I thought maybe a 2nd pi would be a better way to go. I could dockerize things there. Is there anyone doing a 2 pi approach like this? Any major downsides vs a nuc for everything? I rather enjoy the simplicity of the main hassio on a pi.

clear ferry May 6, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

@celest moon or if you want something bigger than a pi but cheaper than a nuc there are a lot of mini pc options from AliExpress

proven yoke May 6, 2019, 4:00 AM

Sometimes the NUCs will have shitty Linux support so probably just be careful of that. Obv you wouldn't want Windows on it. I would go with a couple Pis running containers as you've suggested.

Just got into HA and installed hassio on my RP3 last night. I see on the HA subreddit that a lot of people get some kind of tablet and mount it to the wall with the HA page open to use. Since I live in a small apartment and cannot mount something like that to my wall (apartment complex doesn't allow stuff like that), do most people also just use a tablet laying around to control stuff? I wasn't sure if wall mounting it was some kind of requirement, or if that's just the aesthetic choice most people make. I was thinking of using my old iPad laying around to control stuff, like when im in the living room on the couch, or upstairs at my desk

clear ferry May 7, 2019, 2:21 PM

@hollow robin doesn't have to be mounted on a wall, just us a magnetic mount on your fridge,that is what I use for a general control tablet, other than that most stuff goes by automations or by phone

If you have stuff you do repetitively, use automations and switches for that, or take a look at the Xiaomi cube, that can trigger a dozen different things

I saw a customer running it just three four years ago mindblown

I remember the first multi-player game I played where it was written for that generation of terminal (yes, terminal, not dedicated system). When some of us got access to actual systems to play it on, our clock rate was insanely fast by comparison. A level two character could kill a level 99 character with just a little care...

Part of an industrial system, with a interconnect to a Ethernet network somehow

Industrial systems have insane lifespans

Think the oldest multiplayer game I remember was legend of the green dragon

clever mortar May 7, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

This was all symbol based, back in the days of MUD

#

Awesome fun, when more serious things should have been getting done...

After a friend tried to fly from the 28th floor balcony, I decided such things weren't for me

Thankfully we grabbed them in time, just

Maybe it wasn't multiplayer, just had leaderboards

That looks pretty cool

Now I feel old 👏

It's experienced

There's not a month goes by where that experience pulls somebody else out of a hole

Time is a perverted concept 🤷

It's the moment you go _yeah, I saw something like that 20 years ago, here let me show you how to fix that... and then you realise 20 years ago they weren't in school yet

Hell, my drivers license is older than many of my colleagues 😄

I started school 20y ago xD

Sure, sure 😛

AFAIK I was not asked on the matter

None of us were

Which is probably a good thing

I actually thought you were older @light trout 😂

I don't want to be old and talking about how WiFi 5 was good enough for me

#

You kids and your neural networks

bright gyro May 7, 2019, 4:13 PM

meh...wifi 5 or bust.

clear ferry May 7, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

WiFi, for normies, give me 100Gbit Ethernet 🤷

clever mortar May 7, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

For home use, that's a little overkill

clear ferry May 7, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

But I already have 40Gbit in my garage 😂

clever mortar May 7, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

Though, I am thinking that if I get around to wiring the house, I should aim for 10 Gb as the baseline

#

Damn, I hope you've got the internet to go with that

clear ferry May 7, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

Your biggest problem with 10Gbit Rj45 is the length limitations

#

But you could do 10Gbit backbone with fiber and 10Gbit Ethernet junction points closer to the end socket

I mean, even CAT6 I'll be well within spec 😉

#

Also, frankly, I'll pay somebody who does it for a living

I've not done cable termination in a loooooong time

I yearn for the day I can tell a contractor "Yeah just run ethernet everywhere

#

"Give every single light switch a neutral wire"

clever mortar May 7, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

I can tell a contractor that, but it'll involve making a mess of the house, and that part is still under negotiation 😉

I could too but then he'd go "Damn son you're poor. Come back when you have more money LMAO"

Then he'd peel out of my drive way in his Dodge Super Ultra Platinum Duty pickemup truck

Cat6 will usually be good for 50ish meters of 10g, but usually the transceiver is the limit, I usually see 25-30m, because of heat

clever mortar May 7, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

That's still likely enough for me, if I put things in a relatively central location, 25 meters should cover everything.

clear ferry May 7, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

And because of heat I have only seen 8port modules for it, so that's a limit too😂

Gosh

I remember a lady got like super fiber into her house in Norway

and she used the hot wiriing to dry her laundry

Wasn't that Sweden? Fiber ain't hot,but I remember a guy who worked for Cisco and was 40 living with his mom got a whole lab of enterprise Cisco stuff in a closet or something

She got a 40 gigabit connection

#

Yeah

I got my nordics mixed up

cuz I'm a shitlord

clear ferry May 7, 2019, 4:50 PM

Still, a single 40gb link won't get you above 30 degrees in a very localized area of 3*3cm 🤷

Atleast the last 10+ years

Am I being unreasonable if I feel annoyed that ping reported me as away for less than a minute in the last 12+ hours.

From 7:46AM to 7:46AM I was away

Probably WiFi sleeping or low priority ICMP package in the network

I need to figure out a new use for my Pi-Zero now

since it can't see my phone for monitor
