[clear ferry]

NFS, what are you, 80 years old? 😛

[hearty depot]

🤷 I just like to test ** NEW ** stuff 🤣

[light trout]

so test new stuff, but use old?

"Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984"
I was not even born...

[hearty depot]

me too 😉 isnt the good thing of an NFS that you could boot from it?

[light trout]

not sure, last time I used PXE boot, it was with TFTP

[hearty depot]

well I didnt got any hardware capable of this - But still fun to try - If I just hadnt some oter problems 😕 (like the whole network going down when one client tryes to download stuff too fast 💩 )

to trivial to set up 🤣

or did you used the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program

[light trout]

🤷 I didn't set it up, only used it

[strange vapor]

@hearty depot I had the misfortune of managing a system, built by my predecessor, where there was a few hundred servers using a root file system mounted from NFS.

The only HA on the NFS was "RAID", there was no redundancy. At one point there was an NFS server where 5 drives out of 26 were gone, but they didn't want to risk replacing the drives live as previously when doing that other drives failed when the rebuild was in progress....

At that point, I washed my hands of it and pass off responsibility to the team who who still using that system with a nice, very polite, email explaining the risks and why I wasn't willing to accept them.

A few weeks later, I was over in Brussels for FOSDEM, and the server just fell over. i got called, and in no uncertain terms told them to FO. They had been warned, and ignored, now they could deal with it.

When the recriminations came thick and fast after, I was so glad for that email and the fact that it wasn't a rant, just a polite warning of what was likely to happen 😃

[clear ferry]

@strange vapor panasas is the only implementation of NFS that I've actually said "nice" to, but they have a proprietary version of NFS

@light trout newer implementations of pxe boot mostly use http instead of tftp, which is insanely faster

What do you mean adding usg to edgerouter x? Aren’t they both just routers, what does adding them together do?

[hearty depot]

Not to much - I need at least 5 eth ports - so I cant ditch the ER-X - The USG would have a nice VPN afaik

dut didnt fired it up yet

But I already found an Wireguard install script - would install on the ER-X - but most certanly wouldnt have enough power - The ER4 would be a diffrent story (afaik again 🙈 )

Surveillance cameras?

[hushed basalt]

@amber mantle yeah I would do CCTV first

I've used Hikvision a bit. Can't say if they're the best but they work

POE for sure. Never wireless.

If you can get the newer models with h265 that's worth while to save heaps of storage space

Also temperature humidity sensors are very valuable for monitoring your house. A lot of guys use xiaomi zigbee ones but it doesn't matter what you use exactly as long as their good value, reliable and low maintenance

You can also get a smart door bell. DIY is better than the off the shell ones. All you need is a button that sends a signal to homeassistant. Xiaomi buttons can do this as well.

Next I would look at automated blinds and shading,

For energy efficiency

[clear ferry]

[ocean mirage]

I still need to get around to getting cameras

I’d love to automate curtains too but that doesn’t sound easy

[eager trench]

@light trout I also have a hacs.1 hacs.2 hacs.3 in .storage - they look the same on cursory examination?

[light trout]

Those are backups from previous versions, if you are sure everything is working you can remove the files with a number.
I will autoremove them at some point

[eager trench]

ah and I have to change new to false for every entry....

ok no problem

@hushed basalt cheers but I’m mostly curtains, and having a third of the window coverings powered seems worse than 0% for some reason

[hushed basalt]

They work on their curtain tracks as well I believe

I would target your north facing windows first though

In winter you want your northern curtains to open during middayish and close outside that

[ocean mirage]

I’ve only recently gotten new curtains too lol, I know itd require new rails though

[hushed basalt]

Maybe they don't work with curtains I'm not sure

[ocean mirage]

We’ve got a patio on the north that we have been considering removing or replacing with something retractable

[hushed basalt]

Curtains are harder I think

[ocean mirage]

Only been in a few months though

[hushed basalt]

Make sure you build a pelmet though

Not smart related but huggggee energy savings

Stop that heat stack effect escaping out of the top of the curtains

[ocean mirage]

Hmm makes sense

It’s one of those things though, savings vs aesthetics

[clear ferry]

Curtains in Australia? Are you afraid the emus will watch you prance around naked in the living room?

[steel crystal]

Where is the right place to ask about temp sensor suggestions?

[reef river]

@steel crystal i really like the Xiaomi Agara sensors. small and also does humidity, pressure.

[steel crystal]

will those work inside a fridge?

[reef river]

i don't think they're rated for that humid enviroments. Don't know their exact rating (ip55/60 etc). but i've dropped one accidentally into a small hole in my basement. That sensor is at 100% humidity for at least 9 weeks now.

according to google some guy has killed 2 Xiaomi Agara sensors in the fridge each in about 3 months. So i guess they aren't rated for the fridge.

also the coin batteries don't like being cold. and last time i checked the fridge is usually cold 😃

[steel crystal]

You haven't been to my house recently

the fridge being cold hasn't exactly been a forgone conclusion

[reef river]

haha touché. but you get what i mean. fridges are usually cold 😛

[steel crystal]

Yeah, I'd be willing to sacrifice a couple coin cell batteries to the trash heap in the sky to keep a record of what my fridge is doing

[reef river]

well, the sensor is about 10 dollars on AliExpress. you can always test it out and see how long it lasts

maybe put it in a sealed back with one of those silica bags that dehumidify stuff

You could also tape off the holes so moisture doesn't easily get in. Humidity and pressure readings problably aren't as accurate , but temperature should be good

[steel crystal]

both of those sound like decent suggestions

[ocean mirage]

Cool, sounds interesting

[hearty depot]

soooo... Lets google how do I get a linux master 🤣

[strange vapor]

@hushed basalt Recuiters spamming the list.

It's one thing for a company to sponser a night out, have a few talks, provide beer/food and then show the open positions. It's another for a company that has never sponsered a night to spam the list with open positions.

The office I'm in has a really nice open area upstair setup for canteen and talks. We offer it out to various user groups for free to do talks, especially if they're user groups for software that's used within the company.

NONE of our recruitment staff are allowed up there during the events, instead there's just a few sheets people can take using open positions. The hope is that when they see the canteen with all the free stuff and the games room out the back, they'll apply for the open positions. This has been an incredibly successful strategy so far 😄

[hushed basalt]

[dull chasm]

@trail crag it was amazing for me when i was a young man when i first went overseas to Seoul that we may have been a world apart but still cooking over a fire brought us together. We could not speak to each other but still enjoyed the food and spirit of it

[opal scaffold]

It's been hard getting the right search terms, so thought i'd ask here...
I want my google home to ask me a question, and do something based on the response. Is that possible? am i alone? is someone working on this? because im not smart enough haha.

Example, i want HA to sense the humidity in the bathroom to go up, and then instead of just turning the fan on automatically, i want it to ask me via the google home in the bathroom "Hey, it's getting humid in here. Want me to turn the fan on?" and then wait for a response from me...

[serene escarp]

hey Ned, Google Home user here. I don't think you can currently use the Home to speak to you without invoking it with "Hey Google" first. Alexa might be able to do this somewhat with alerts, which might get you closer, but I don't think either of them will just speak based on a trigger command. Of course there are potentially some ways to get around this (humidity trigger in bathroom triggers a Tasker profile whos action is to connect phone to Google Home speaker via bluetooth or cast, then use the phone's TTS to speak through the Home) but that'd probably only work on Android.

Another idea is to use a push notification with actions that allow you to trigger these things. Or if there aren't any reasons not to turn the fan on just write an automation for it in HA

[trail crag]

@opal scaffold You could get it to tell you something based on an event. Like "It's getting humid in here, I am turning the fan on". But having it ask you and wait for a response is not something trivial

[hushed basalt]

Yeah I think it's possible to get it to tell you something

But it can't wait for a response

So it would be like
"The bathroom is getting humid, would you like me to turn on the fan"
Hey google, turn on the fan in the bathroom

Probably a lot to do with 'privacy' as well.

The voice message for the google home would have to be a cast though

Which means you would have to do tue TTS in the server. Long story short it cab be half done but it would be very complicated

I would just tune your automations :D

[strange vapor]

@clear ferry Backblaze is one of the cheapest I've used for that sort of thing.

Still going to cost a few hundred dollars though!

[clear ferry]

Unlimited personal for $6 it says 🤔

[strange vapor]

I'm sure in the fine print, if you're uploading 30TB there will be, em, extra cost 😄

I've used them for around 2TB of data without issue.

[clear ferry]

Need to read the fine print then 😛

It's not yet, but maybe next year when I suspect I might need to migrate from raidz1 to raidz2

Unlimited, Affordable Data Backup Automatically backs up all user data by default. No pricing tiers, no surprises for your budget.

They constantly state this

[light trout]

does not look like it would be an otion to use that.

Backblaze is not designed as an additional storage system when you run out of space. So, please don’t try to upload your external hard drive to us and delete your data off your drive…or we will delete those files from our servers as well. 

At this time, we do not have any available services for backing up network devices.

 it scans for any permanently attached hard drives (not network drives or removable media like CDs or flash drives) and declares those hard drives are to be backed up.

[clear ferry]

No service for network device? But they state backup for NAS drives 😛

[light trout]

probably added after they wrote the FAQ 😛

[strange vapor]

It's wasn't the personal backup I used, but rather the B2 Cloud Storage which is S3 but cheaper.

[clear ferry]

Yeah, seems like b2 is half the price of s3

[light trout]

make sense b<s && 2<3

[clear ferry]

🤓

[strange vapor]

According to the Pricing Calculator, which I'm sure is fully unbiased, if you have 30000GB which you store, upload, delete and download in one month, it's going to cost $450 rather than $2130 in S3.

I need to have a go at that podcast later then

[strange vapor]

There's an episode on Stuxnet as well 😄

[hearty depot]

he is already starting the podcast with the statement that you should listen to 28&29 first
Finaly started to configure plex proper - I already love the podcast integration

Aye, it is good, I've used the podcast bit of subsonic for years

Hi. I can see a new Xiaomi Aqara Atmos Humidity and Temperature sensor. Can anyone verify if this works with HA as I haven't been able to find it's model number in order to compare via HA documentation.

[dull chasm]

thats one cool ass sensor to have Atmos

[normal ferry]

I don't think they mean the Dolby Atmos

But sadly I don't think the Chinese care!

Especially Xiaomi who's a master at ripping off stuff and names.

😂 😂 😂

[clear ferry]

Did you find the Xiaomi aqara TrueHD humidity sensor too?

Or maybe the OpenGL edition

[orchid rose]

the "atmos" looks exactly like the one I have. Are you sure it's new @normal ferry?

[normal ferry]

@orchid rose until now in the stores that I've been buying from it was "Xiaomi Aqara Temperature/Humidity Sensor"

now it's called "Xiaomi Aqara Temperature/Humidity Sensor Atmos Hygrometer"

[orchid rose]

interesting. Maybe they just didn't change the outside, because it looks exactly like the older one I have

[normal ferry]

well on second thought HA reads the Gateway and the sensor exposes its values to the gateway

so since HA can keep reading the Gateway it doesn't really matter

if this sensor is new

come to think of it it shouldn't matter at all

[clear ferry]

Ahoy Americans

[keen moss]

Heu guys, Im kinda stuck right now and the forum and google doesnt help. I have the new xiaomi aqara hub (with homekit) successfully integrated in HA via Homekit controller support. Now i paired some new door sensors, via the hardware buttons (3 presses on the hub and one on the new sensor - successfully paired said the voice)
This is where Im stuck. The new sensors wont appear in HA. I restarted and refreshed everything - is this type of sensor not compatible via homekit controller or what do I miss?

[opal scaffold]

have you gone to integrations to add them in? Also look at lovelace->unused entities?

[midnight adder]

planning on trying out nabula casa this weekend

so i can tell google to turn on the compy

might go buy some led strips too and attach them to the bottom of my couch

[keen moss]

@opal scaffold yes, they dont appear

[midnight adder]

none of that philips hue shit tho i'm not going to fucking spend seventy bucks on 2 meter of leds

i really don't understand why philips hue is so insanely expensive

[hushed basalt]

Have any of you ever used QNAP?

I just need something for dumb simple storage in a rack mount. 8 bays in RAID6 etc

[clear ferry]

@midnight adder I built my own Philips hue knock-offs, gledopto + rgbww

@hushed basalt qnap works, I've had it for 10 years, but moving almost everything to freenas now

[hushed basalt]

I'm looking at that cheap ARM model

Just need a basic on prem SMB/NIFS share in the 48TB usable storage range

[clear ferry]

I have the old ts412, did what I needed both as a esxi datastore and SMB share until recently

48tb with 8 slots and raid6 would mean either 8 or 10tb if my head is on the right way

[hushed basalt]

Yeah 8TB

48 TB less formatting and 8 trillion bits to bytes conversions etc

8 x 8TB

When I build a home server I'll probably go 6 x 8TB on mergerfs and snapraid for bulk storage.

Don't really want the power consumption and lack of flexibility of Freenas

[clear ferry]

Just waiting for my 12 bay server to arrive from the us now

Will probably add a 12 slot disk shelf to it too in the future

Currently I have 4x10 , 4x4, 4x2 and 4x1 that'll fit in nicely, the 4x2 will probably stay in my current freenas and I have some 500gb drives I can add to my qnap just to use it for some work related ftps

And adding 10tb ones down the line will be trivial, I just should migrate to raidz2 at some point 😛

[clear ferry]

Yeah, I gave $257 for 10tb external drive, while the standard internal one costs $410

Then I'll just shuck the drives from the cases

[hearty depot]

I hope for an wd red drive(heard there good)
Heard of 4K-Sektor Emulation? Apparently the controller in the case does this cind of stuff

[clear ferry]

Saw a review that a guy shucked 100 drives, 91 of them were white label red ones

In the enterprise space we have been going 512n and 4kn for quite some time

[hearty depot]

Reason to send it back when I get a white lable one? The thing is the emulation for xp PC's that they can access drives with 2.2tb+ when you screw the drive out and just use it internally the data can't be read out

[clear ferry]

The white label red ones == good

They are helium ones as far as I read up

holy f- is it even possible to find the right cables again?

It is... proably involves lots of messing with tone generator to trace exactly what is what, but it is possible

[clever mortar]

I'm pretty sure that's an old image, and also lines that aren't used any more

[strange vapor]

@clever mortar Possibly an old pic, but those type of lines are definitely still used.

Unfortunately

[clever mortar]

[boreal pewter]

That is basically germany in a nutshell

[clever mortar]

[clever mortar]

Cable finding backhoe

[hushed basalt]

Anything less than 4TB drives isn't worth the power consumption here

I threw out a bunch of 500 and 1TB 3.5" drives. Just no use for them

I've had to make an emergency repair to fibre before

Dug up by the power company

Cut the fibre which the entire north of the state

I bet you lucky barstards don't have to contend with latency to major data centres too

Also spoke to a guy once who wrapped a dozen fibre cables around his auger bore

[ocean mirage]

Someone might have taken those little drives for something

[boreal pewter]

I still have 2 pretty old 3,5" 1TB HDD's to destroy

[ocean mirage]

For fun or data security reasons?

[boreal pewter]

Data security

Never sell HDD's lol

[ocean mirage]

Fair enough, I’ve never really considered the consequences personally

I don’t always have terribly personal data on mine

[boreal pewter]

Yeah it may depends, but I really don't want to rethink if I had anything personal on it in the last X years and decide based on this

Isn't like 1TB would be worth anything lol

[ocean mirage]

Yeah that’s fair enough, I can’t remember yesterday

[boreal pewter]

The only HDD after years now is a 8TB Seagate Backup for Backblaze and it will be kept until it dies and gets destroyed also

SSD's 4 life

[ocean mirage]

I’ve got two 8TBs for media stuff currently, going to get two more

[boreal pewter]

Not hosting thus stuff locally, I rely on my main colocation dedicated server

[ocean mirage]

Fair enough, colo sounds expensive though, especially where I live

[boreal pewter]

I wouldn't specifically chose a server in the same country, I would watch out for the best countries to host. Like in europe you would rather go with Germany and France

[ocean mirage]

I’m in Australia though

[boreal pewter]

Ugh you could check peering tho 😛 But that depends on usage

[ocean mirage]

I’ve already got the server set up in my house anyway

Plus if the internet drops I can still access it

[boreal pewter]

If that is a requirement in your case sure

In my country price for electricity + heat + noise + annoying wife crying about is is always the double of the price as if I just gonna rent it

And as a private person you don't get easily Gigabit down and upload tho 😛

[ocean mirage]

Oh for sure, there’s arguments both ways

I’d also like to use my server for security dvr so on prem is required

And in my case it’s not noisy at all, my switch is worse

[clear ferry]

Can only hope some customers discard some 16TB ssds soon😛

[light trout]

yeah... send me a few of those 😛

[light trout]

Why is it that external HDD's are cheaper then internal? 🤔

[ocean mirage]

The market for externals can’t support higher prices I guess

And any commercial users aren’t shucking so it doesn’t affect them much I’m sure

[dull chasm]

that sounds like basically they are creedy and charging too much 🤣

[ocean mirage]

Oh no they wouldn’t do that

[light trout]

Looking at a 8TB drive now, about 200$ with enclosure and about 380$ without 🤷‍♀️

[ocean mirage]

Yeah we’ve all been there lol

200 is a lot still, what currency?

[light trout]

200 was my in head conversation from 1880 NOK 😜

[ocean mirage]

I buy them on sale for 140 USD which amazon frequently has

What’s NOK?

[light trout]

Yeah.. no Amazon here 😜 Norwegian

[ocean mirage]

[light trout]

Probably. 😅

[light trout]

Amazon doesn’t ship to Norway?

[light trout]

they do, but not most electronics and with 200$+ in shipping and atleast that in customs 😛

[dull chasm]

dang so 600?

[ocean mirage]

Ah okay fair enough

[light trout]

probably

[dull chasm]

thats crazy

[ocean mirage]

I think mine works out to a bit over 200AUD each total

Two more should last me a while

Hey all. Quick Q I'm thinking of running home assistant on my boat. What would be done ways I could access it remotely or get alerts. Let's start, that's it's sinking?

Some how thinking of teathering it to an old phone?

[timid jasper]

Hello HomeAssistant users, I just came across this and was wondering if I can use it to controll WiFi IR controllers?

[clear ferry]

@ocean mirage they are the original ones I suspect, and probably quite flat after 60 years 😛

@timid jasper across what?

[ocean mirage]

Yeah fair enough lol

It’s always fun to get new glass

[clear ferry]

Yeah, it's a vox ac50, even at volume 1 it is loud enough for my garage 😛

[ocean mirage]

Oh right, guitar amp nice

I didn’t know they had a ac50

[clear ferry]

@naive heath there are loads of LTE / GSM / NMT router options available I'm sure

The ac50 and ac100 were developed for the Beatles especially, they needed amps that could play louder than the girls screaming

I bought the ac50 for $250 though, so I'm happy 😄

I also bought a Peavey 4x12 for $30 and I split it in two, so upper half is for the vox and lower half is for a Hughes and kettner solid state I grabbed for $50

That way I can run both my synths and stringed instruments at once

[ocean mirage]

Oh nice dude

I think I actually have heard that Beatles fact but I forgot it

I just have a jtm45 clone

[clear ferry]

I was considering building a fender bassman 4x10 combo clone

But I never got around to it

[ocean mirage]

Ah yeah, tweed era?

[clear ferry]

[ocean mirage]

Yeah tweed stuff seems simple

I priced out and planned a cab for a tweed Princeton but never got further

[clear ferry]

And has plans to build a hiwatt 100 clone too, but again time 😂

Mmmm Princeton, I've repaired a few of those

[ocean mirage]

Oh you do tech work?

Hiwatts are sick but 100 is loud af, especially for those old hiwatts

[clear ferry]

My education is amp and television repair, but I've never worked with it professionally 😄

[ocean mirage]

Need to get a big muff and power booster for that hiwatt

Maybe an echorec to boot

Ah nice

[clear ferry]

Mmmmm David Gilmore

[ocean mirage]

:)

[clear ferry]

Binson echorec, get one, probably only person who can repair it is Gilmore, so ups your chances of meeting him 🤓

[ocean mirage]

There’s a fair few about relatively but they are expensive

He’d have to be good at maintaining them, I saw how he had his in the dirt at Pompeii

[clear ferry]

Aye, I remember a documentary I saw about him, he had 3 hiwatt on stage during a performance, said to the tech something didn't sound right with amp #2, told him to switch it with the backup, the tech just took it away and brought the same back, Gilmore got pissed because he could hear it was the same one 😂

The guy is quite the audiophile

[ocean mirage]

Haha makes sense

His tone is legendary

[clear ferry]

I know the Australian pink Floyd show is supposed to be good, but I have never heard them

I go almost every year to see Brit Floyd when they come to Oslo, they are amazing, and I can recommend them if they tour in Australia

[ocean mirage]

Yeah I’ve heard good things but tribute acts feel weird to me

I’d probably enjoy it but also something in my head stops me

[clear ferry]

Gilmore approves Brit Floyd, they played at his 80th birthday, and they have inherited a lot of pink Floyd stage equipment

[ocean mirage]

Ah cool

I have watched and read a lot of gilmourish though if you are familiar with it

Similar concept in a way

[clear ferry]

Aye, I read up on it sometimes 😛

[ocean mirage]

He’s from one of those countries up there near you too

I actually had the laney amp he used, but I stupidly sold it

[clear ferry]

Think he is Norwegian mayhaps

I bought a slide guitar last year, to learn the solo part of high hopes, but I haven't gotten around to that either 😂

[ocean mirage]

You are Norwegian right

Haha yeah that’s a cool part

I just play slide on my Tele occasionally but I’m not good at it

[clear ferry]

Built a Tele a few years ago, it plays ok, but I was supposed to build some stomp boxes inside the body, but yet another thing I haven't gotten around to yet

[ocean mirage]

What you gonna fit in a Tele? Fuzz?

[clear ferry]

You rake up a backlog when you work 60 hour weeks mostly 😛

[ocean mirage]

lol oof

I have some pedals to make still

[clear ferry]

I was going to fit a chorus, distortion and phaser, and have the effects inline with the output jack

[ocean mirage]

Oh wow

[clear ferry]

PCBs themselves aren't that big these days

The knobs were the worst part 😛

[ocean mirage]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

My Tele is just a stock American fender, built my strat from parts though

Stripped for painting for like 6 months now lol

[clear ferry]

I have 13 guitars total I think, I need to buy one more to get out of bad luck 😂

[ocean mirage]

Haha damn

[clear ferry]

The perfect amount of guitars is n+1 anyway 😂

[ocean mirage]

I do know one guy with that many

I have 4 and am happy, I want a better acoustic though and maybe a gretsch

But I use my Tele a large majority of the time

[clear ferry]

I bought a used 12 string Washburn last year, paid $100 and quite happy with it

With preamp inside

[ocean mirage]

Oh nice. 12 strings are cool but I really don’t play enough to have all these different guitars

[clear ferry]

I love my variax 300 too

Digital guitar

Can play bass, banjo, acoustic, electric and more just by twisting a knob 😛

[ocean mirage]

Oh nice

I also have a bass of that counts

I'll probably never be happy with any commercial products after running pretty open software stuff for the last 20 years

[ocean mirage]

[hushed basalt]

My tomato router is fantastic to be honest

For a $30 router

I'll upgrade to pfsense when I can find an economical 1u solution

[clear ferry]

Everything is now economical when I can order stuff from Amazon and eBay with an American address

[hushed basalt]

Unless I go virtual 🤔

[ocean mirage]

Virtual pfsense doesn’t sound like a great idea to me but I could be wrong

I’d just personally want something dedicated for it

[clear ferry]

Ran virtual for 5 years, otherwise physical

No difference in performance

And able to have 8 vnics is nice

[ocean mirage]

I just meant in the way that it’s separate to anything else, not eggs in one basket

[hushed basalt]

That's a genuine concern

But pros and cons I guess

Pfsense hardware is expensive

[ocean mirage]

Yeah I figured you would have considered it but still felt I should mention

[hushed basalt]

Especially rack mount low power with AES-NI

[ocean mirage]

The 1U limitation probably doesn’t help but I get it

[hushed basalt]

In some ways I could spend that $400+ to just make a better main server

[ocean mirage]

Yeah lol

[hushed basalt]

[hushed basalt]

Hello Datahoarders Anonymous

Those things arent SMR right

I don't know if anyone ever figured out a use for SMR drives

[clear ferry]

🤷

[ocean mirage]

No they’re not smr

They’re basically reds or better

People have gotten hgst drives in those before too

Basically they only make decent drives at that capacity

[hearty depot]

Nope - didn't changed the port 80>32400
Chance that basic auth is supported?

[clear ferry]

@ocean mirage got wd100emaz in the first one, so a helium red drive basically

[orchid rose]

noisy af 😦

I wish they made slower and more silent drives. I don't need the 150Mb/s reads, just space to put files in

[clear ferry]

You should come into my garage

I'll make a video for you later

[orchid rose]

Yeah garage is probably the place for those 😃

[low harness]

Holy crap storage is cheap nowadays!

$250 for one of those?

[orchid rose]

is it? To me the prices have seemed quite stagnant for a decade now. I paid 150€ for 8TB and I didn't feel that was particularly cheap

[clear ferry]

It isn't too bad, but we still feel the hit of the floods in Thailand years ago

But I'm used to seeing $60000 per 8TB SSD in the enterprise space 😂

[orchid rose]

SSDs will hopefully catch up soon though for desktops. You get a 1TB for 100€ now iirc

[clear ferry]

Yeah, we sell 16tb now, and I think the 40+tb are in the pipeline now

[low harness]

That's what I'm talking about. Back during the flood I bought a 1TB drive for twice that.

[orchid rose]

SSD prices were extremely high a few years ago as well, as was RAM

partially why most of my PC is components are from 2012...

[clear ferry]

My desktop was built in 2009 😛

If I could get a pi with three monitors I would replace it in a heartbeat

Or any kind of triple head thin client for cheap

[orchid rose]

It wouldn't be so bad, but I still game on mine 😢

[clear ferry]

I only game on PS4 the last few years

All of the dark souls games, Bloodborne, tomb raider games, uncharted games, Wolfenstein games, my to-do is sekiro and horizon zero dawn

[low harness]

The new pi has three video outputs...

There’s composite in the 3.5 mm jack.

[orchid rose]

glorious pc masterrace for life

4k composite

[low harness]

With some luck and good cables you might get almost 6 Hz with that.

No... wait... screens have two physical dimensions... Make that estimate 0.6 Hz

[clear ferry]

I need 3x1080 😛

[low harness]

0.3 Hz taking interlacing into consideration too

[orchid rose]

4k only mentions horizontal resolution, so....

[low harness]

Yes, but assuming roughly the same aspect ratio, that means 100 times more pixels per frame than 480p or 200 times more than 480i, which composite can handle at 60 Hz.

[orchid rose]

3840x80 is doable then. Still 4k!

[low harness]

What's the next step after ultra-widescreen? Ludicrous-?

[near flare]

has anyone got a ci to work with custom components

Failed config

Anyone else annoyed by how many monitor connectors are still in use right now

Still have to use vga, dvi, hdmi, hdmi mini, hdmi micro, display port, mini display port, and usb-c

Not even counting SDI

[clear ferry]

oof, back from vacation, triplescreen heaven

@hushed basalt as long as it isn't 0.3Hz composite that @low harness is praising I don't mind 🤣

[low harness]

Who would ever need more than one frame every third second?

[clear ferry]

that would make my multitasking terrible !

[light trout]

Ew

Python is where it's at

Although I spend most of my time in frameworks and orchestrators than in actual languages

[boreal pewter]

Bash Scripters around?

[clear ferry]

all over the interwebs I suppose @boreal pewter

[eager trench]

I love bash scripts lol

[clear ferry]

Who doesnt ? 🤣

[eager trench]

hahaha

[boreal pewter]

Then maybe someone has an idea. For an echo command I need to randomize from a few given variables. Any idea?

[clear ferry]

what are you trying to achieve though ? 😛

what is the end goal I mean

[boreal pewter]

GlusterFS has 3 cluster nodes when there are up to 10 worker nodes and 5 cluster nodes when there are more than 10 worker nodes. So the other worker nodes need to get one of the cluster nodes in the fstab, kinda round-robin

[clear ferry]

sounds like a job for the head-node or master node, I can't belive they haven't implemented such a feature in the core, what is this, 1998 ? 🤣

so you don't want some thing random, you want one of the nodes randomly

[boreal pewter]

Yeah yeah one of the given cluster nodes which are in variables like gluster01, gluster02, gluster03. The cluster nodes can bind to theirselves, but the other worker-nodes without glusterfs-server need one of the cluster-nodes to bind to. And I guess it wouldn't be so smart to just bind them all to master or another cluster-node hardcoded

[clear ferry]

Should be doable with something like shuf command I guess

with maybe shuf -n 1 $FILE

but I've worked with HPC for 12 years, and I can say I won't be touching glusterfs anytime soon if they operate like that 🤣 that wouldn't scale well in 1000+ node setups

[boreal pewter]

I actually have no specific idea how they scale. Maybe it does scaling over all the server-nodes and I can just bind them to master. But the collegue who knows is ill today

Since I can't use glusterFS as far I know for torrents

[hushed basalt]

[hushed basalt]

You can direct entry

[boreal pewter]

@clear ferry I might have "fixed" the Gluster thing by checking another similiar setup settings and it seems like the following line should solve the issue:
echo "${gluster_node01_name}:/gv0 /storage glusterfs defaults,_netdev,backup-volfile-servers=${gluster_node02_name}:${gluster_node03_name}:${gluster_node04_name}:${gluster_node05_name} 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

I have had 1 drive failure in the last 18 years

I'll survive

[hushed basalt]

I ordered 8 x 8TB today for work :D

Shut up

[clear ferry]

you've gotta up those numbers kid, those are rookie number 😉

[hushed basalt]

I don't want to hear about your 4000 drive SANs

I have 2u to play with :D

Well I actually have like 35U to play with but I've already put blanking panels in the other Us and it takes time to take them out

Got rid of a lot of equipment

Digibeta VTR, FC SAN, Mac Pro tower, docks and caddy and a bunch of other small DAS stuff

What was once a 35U system is now like... 6U

This old FC SAN weighed like 20 Kilos and held a whopping 3TB

With a mind blowing 4G interfaces

[clear ferry]

LOL that is old

we haven't sold 4G SANs in... 10 years

I love when I replace old SANs, like, 5 racks -> 2U and 10x capacity and 100x speed

anybody seen any good cases for esp32cam ?

[strange vapor]

@clear ferry Came across a school last year still running a Compaq SAN with 250G drives.

[clear ferry]

that isn't too old, I've worked on systems with 9.6GB drives, in the last 10 years 🤣

[strange vapor]

Well, their IT guy was trying to replace it with a WD "NAS"

This one I think: https://www.wd.com/products/network-attached-storage/my-cloud-expert-series-ex2-ultra.html

And it was randomly rebooting while trying to copy the data over.

[clear ferry]

🤣

[white radish]

Which cheaper led strips do you guys recommend. Not wanting to pay the Hue tax

[hushed basalt]

This san had 500g drives so not far off

They used to turn the San off when they didn't need it by just turning off the power switch :'(

Both redundant power supplies plugged into the same powerboard of course

[clear ferry]

@white radish I built some hue copies with gledopto and rgbww from AliExpress

[light trout]

@clear ferry seen anyone run esxi on a ryzen cpu? 😛

[clear ferry]

Only hyper-v, with poor results

[light trout]

hyper-v.... yeah I belive you

[clear ferry]

The design of the Ryzen server CPUs are not very good for virtualization it seems

[light trout]

That seems odd since virtualization can take advantage of multi core/thread, and there the ryzen line are better (on paper) then what intel offer (consumer grade)

[hushed basalt]

Bare metal containers for lyfe

[clear ferry]

There was some issues with the internal design of it if memory serves right, because say a 16 cores is not 16 cores,but 4x4 or something, I have to read up on it

[light trout]

That sounds familiar, so might be correct 😄

[hushed basalt]

I wouldn't know what to run in a vm at home

[clear ferry]

That lead to issues with vms requiring more than the cores in one package

With performance lower than expected

[hushed basalt]

Everything I use is on docker

I wonder if that wouldn't play nice with ceph.

Ceph wants one cpu per OSD ideally

[clear ferry]

Ceph, for newbs 😛

[strange vapor]

@clear ferry Some stupidly large Ceph clusters running here without issue. Have worked out more reliable than some of the SANs dotted around the place.

[clear ferry]

Object storage is cool, but I haven't seen a single customer with ceph yet 🤷

[strange vapor]

More and more devs here a calmouring for it as it's a hell of a lot easier to deal with an S3 style API than Posix style shared file systems. It's also a hell of a lot easier to restrict and monitor access.

[clear ferry]

More than 24 hours to copy from my old Nas to my expanded freenas 😆

But only getting 35MBps from the qnap

And 9tb to transfer

Should be closer to 80 hours actually 😆

[strange vapor]

When will HP be offering infinite storage SANs?

[clear ferry]

The new one is pretty big 😂

[clear ferry]

https://i.redd.it/3q2e0dt5d3931.jpg

[strange vapor]

@clear ferry Also: If you're not paying for the product, you are the product!

[clear ferry]

Exactly

[hushed basalt]

I like the idea of ceph being infinitely scalable

In Video editing when you work with assets from many different projects over decades, having everything in a single address space is hugely valuable

Having to deal with this mess of multiple SANs and raids and drives is a nightmare

[clear ferry]

If that is all you are after Microsoft DFS is all you are looking for 😛

[hushed basalt]

Ew windows servers

Windows servers are the domain of salty sysadmins who do everything one by one with a mouse

[clear ferry]

You haven't worked with windows for a long time I see, mostly anything is powershell or remote powershell these days ;)

[strange vapor]

@clear ferry Powershell is damn handy, I'm primarily a Linux admin and I've used it. However, there is a problem in that while there's a good tradition of good old grey beard writing sh/bash/per;l/awk/python scripts in Linux land, there's a lot of Windows admins who're very much "point and drool" and don't want to change!

[clear ferry]

yeah, it's hella powerful, but very illogical for me coming from a linux side of things

but I'm learning still

[boreal pewter]

Tho it has not yet reached my knowledge that a bare Windows server only uses 22MB Ram, like a Debian does

[clear ferry]

Windows nano server is quite effective, but not that effective

[strange vapor]

Friend of mine is a Windows admin in a educational institute. He started using Ansible to co-ordinate Powershell script runs across a massive active directory setup. The amount of inconsistencies he found was rediculous, and he happily documented them all.

Straight away there was absolute war as some of the old school admins saw that as him calling them out as incompetent.

[boreal pewter]

While there is only ONE application that is reasonably hosted on Windows: Active Directory. And while it is not really NEEDED IMO you would only find those in Work environments

[strange vapor]

And when the knifes come out in a Educational setting, the blood on the floor gets a few inchs deep!

[clear ferry]

that sounds like every week for me @strange vapor when an it department head asks me to check the health of the enviroment 🤣

guys on the floor always go into self defence mode

[boreal pewter]

Not if you're a psycho 😛

[clear ferry]

the same guys I mailed four months ago saying we should check this out, this is not configured correctly and they dont even answer to my mails 🤣

[strange vapor]

To be fair, that sort of thing happens in every setting.

[clear ferry]

I see it more and more now, that they just ignore my advice, then shit hits the fan, because they have gotten so much better, we don't need vendor help

guess who gets the blame anyway 🤷

[strange vapor]

There's a certain network appliance which the team I'm on here can deploy from scratch in under four mins, with all the config done using ansible. Proper CI/CD which means all changes go through a pipeline etc. There's another team responsible with managing the same devices in a different environment. They make all their changes by logging into the CLI and copy/pasting commands. They reached a record of six outages in four weeks, one customer affecting.

Their manager's manager has hinted that they should talk to us about how to use the automation (which is freely available to them in source control) but instead they've just decided to initiate a whole change control process in Jira where they still rely on copy and paste 😦

[clear ferry]

Those people are expendable, they just do it like that because they know it too

[hushed basalt]

Have you tried drone ci

I've played around with it. It's very cool

Everything is a container. So you can define containers, variables etc per stage

So say if you want a ha config check, you just do like image:homeassistant command: homeassistant config check or whatever the command is

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows how to set up tasmota devices manually, my Hass.io with mosquito doesn’t seem to be picking them up when I follow the automatic discovery instructions

Sorry if this is the wrong avenue of inquiry

@dreamy schooner There's a separate Tasmota Discord, see the topic on the archived #551843800209686539 channel. They might be better placed to answer your query.

I’m just using a sonoff device, everything works fine except integrating it with hass

[opal scaffold]

Hey everyone. Im going a bit deeper down the rabbit hole, and im not sure how to continue... I need a way to write some automations... But the standard ones wont do. Couple things from the top of my head is an input that cycles between different modes... Press it and light goes on, press again and goes to night light mode, press again and goes off, press again and goes to night light etc etc.
Another one is hold a button and the brightness will ramp up, press and hold again and it ramps the other way. Quick press and toggles between off and on. Fairly standard-ish stuff... But what do I use? Node red? App daemon? Im an embedded sw engineer and write code in C all day long if that helps, but havent really coded in anything else.
I i stalled node red, and I like it, but found a bunch of people complaining people should just uae app deamon instead for more complicated automations etc.
Can someone give me some pros and come? Or other opens im not aware off? I dont care which one I use, I just dont want to start with one and find I made a huge mistake 2 months later and have to redo it all....

[orchid rose]

For the first one I have something like this that I copied from somewhere: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hWHnw2NBJS/

the holding one I don't think is possible, unless your button will report when it's held and not when it's pushed (my xiaomi button for example only reports click and double click)

[opal scaffold]

Im using esphome and reports when i press and when I release, so that should be fine.
I found a way to do it in node red, but the top comment was "should have done it in app deamon" so started wondering which one to use...

Fyi

thanks, but: "The square Aqara (Square Gen2) Version is not capable of this as it does not have the required “long_press_press” click type."
