maybe I should switch from isc-dhcpd to kea
#the-water-cooler
gloomy canyon
rain swift
for?
gloomy canyon
dunno tbh
rain swift
so this is the dhcp server?
I use pihole, works amazing
never any issues, it just runs.
its running in a VM next to my home assistant VM
rain swift
I mean, they all use text files, is it hard to copy and paste stuff around?
might be I don't know.
my setup is pretty simple.
where is a good place to get inspiration for lovelace stuff?
river rune
I use isc no problem... You just have to make sure that your static IPs are outside the DHCP range
gloomy canyon
in the end I could delete all static ips... back in the days i used static ips for device_tracker
rain swift
that's a good practice but shouldn't really matter.
my network is a 10.x.x.x /21 I think, so I have tons of subnets and IPs lol
covered fo-eva
river rune
I used to run a 10.0.0.0/16 but decided I don't need that much so I switched to 10.0.0.0/24
gloomy canyon
range 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 1.1.1.1;```I use .200-.253 for DHCP, .254 is my router
gloomy canyon
the cool guys use 10.? 😄
rain swift
yes haha
it's a private network, why limit yourself, use the whole IPv4 range
you'll never have to re arrange your stuff to make room or something
2k IPs per subnet? DONE
never know, in 10 years you may need that many IPs when even your coffee table has an address.
gloomy canyon
and all for tasmota updates.. dunno what really changes between the release BUT I HAVE TO UPGRADE
😄
rain swift
ahahahaha I don't upgrade unless its fixing an issue I have, or adding a feature I want.
gloomy canyon
want to take a look at my setup? I always want to improve...

not a bad start
valid halo
I haven't touched it in a while.
In my old set up. I had a Ring Tab and some Grafana dabbling and a tab for the stats of my pi
but I wiped all that out and started over out of a desire to start fresh and get back into things again.
Sadly that hasn't really gone to plan
I got my Google Home in there and my wifi outlet/bulb and then didn't do much wiht it
valid halo
Dats a lot of YAML and Jinja

Honestly I've been struggling with motivation in general a lot

I remember when I was super into HA
rain swift
doesn't look like english is your first language
proper swift
there are never too many graphs. I run Zabbix at home. 🙂
valid halo
I wanted to make a Graphana graph for when my smart outlet was on or off
Because why not
rain swift
my setup is pretty utilitarian, function over form lol
gloomy canyon
Including grafana images is a pain in the....
valid halo
I remember i had a whole tab for my Ring Camera
Doorbell Camera
I feel like that thing was a worthless purchase sometimes
the damn thing goes off whenever a car drives by
quartz ether
Change the zones it detects motion in. But yes they are pretty bad I regret my one big time
rain swift
@valid halo that's why I was happy when I got motion sensors in the house, no more crappy camera based motion detection.
I used to spam myself with motion alerts from blue iris because the wind would blow and things
rain swift
I can't stand pixel based detection, PIR it the way
valid halo
I think buying it was a mistake too
rain swift
blue iris is awesome, been using it for years
its the best system out there that isn't a proprietary pro system that costs thousands.
and those license you by the camera.
I've got it to where HA triggers cameras based on motion sensors, and when I change alarm state in HA it changes profiles in BI
false positives are a thing of the past lol
valid halo
I remember I was tinkering with an ESP chip and an IR sensor
to try and make a cheap jury rigged PIR sensor for people walking on the path to my house
which then would send a command to my hacked Wyze camera to snap a picture or three
rain swift
yeah, I use zwave sensors, but anything that can talk to HA
valid halo
I think if I get another cam I'm gonna do more research. Wyze is indeed cheap and easy to get but the RTSP on the Software for both 1st party and hacked firmware felt kind of unreliable
It'd just randomly stop or freeze up on a frame when I was having it run on VLC on my 2nd montior
forest edge
that sonoff cam that Drzz showed looked promising but there was questions I would want answered before going that route
forest edge
truth be told as long as the wyze isn't pointed inside your home or at anything you really care about the beta firmware with rtsp is good enough + sd card
it's max fps was always intended to be at 15
rain swift
I'm sure everyone makes a camera, the question is, is it trash?
valid halo
I mean isn't the intention to point your Wyze at things you care about?
rain swift
dahua is the best surveillance cameras out there right now.
and if you block them from talking to china, you don't have to worry about security or spying issues.
hikvision is a close second i'd say

difference between pointing a camera at your car vs wife in the shower @valid halo
rain swift
lmao
I'm not allowed to put cams in the bedrooms or bathrooms.
everywhere else is fair game.
I don't care if someone wants to watch me take a shower, but I was over ruled.
that's assuming you actually get access to anything.
valid halo
Ooft
I remember a Magic MIrror person used a camera in the mirror to tell who was in the bathroom
for some kind of automation
rain swift
haha funny
what good is a magic mirror, when I get out of the shower the mirror is all fogged up
I guess you could stare at it while you brush your teeth
I think some people do things just to do them.
valid halo
I think that's what made me do so much with HA at first
it was so new and neato
and I was just like "WOWEE!"
wet pilot
if you're fogging up your mirror you should replace/upgrade your exhaust fan
valid halo
and I'd just try things to try things
wet pilot
or just use your exhaust fan 😛
forest edge
or take cold showers
rain swift
I generally don't do anything in HA until I'm sitting there thinking, hey, this is something I could automated since I do it over and over, or blah blah
cold showers are for psychopaths. 🙂
wet pilot
haha
valid halo
One automation I feel proud of is when I get in my car. My phone will say "Hey <NAME> do you have your kit"
since I have a peanut allergy and can't forget it
or I might die

well i feel accomplished either way 😛 leviton face plates look nice
now i need to turn a few of the blue lights off
forest edge
now all you got left is smart faucets, smart appliances and and heating and cooling
steel urchin
i have a zwave thermostat, but i want to make it smarter with some sensors around the house to circulate and help normalize other areas
one half of the house is much cooler than the other half, even though it's dumping more hot air on that side... there's got to be a leak that the builder just isn't capable of finding :S
clear ferry
I'm helping a friend with that, he has a 50 year old house with floor grates and air heating, the problem is the thermostat is in the living room, so when the temperature reaches the set value the rest of the house is still colder
So we are going to do solenoid controlled vent tubes and multiple thermostats, and turn on and off vents as needed
steel urchin
oh damn, fancy
clear ferry
Easy logic, just gotta play with it in lab to be sure about the results before installing
16 air ducts, plus 8 rooms plus on and off total
forest edge
gotta be careful cause at some point stand alone heat pumps are more cost effective than tearing through a house installing ducts ect lol
clear ferry
Well yes, most of Norwegian houses have heatpumps, this house is actually the only Norwegian house I have ever seen with floor ducts
Like, American style
steel urchin
Only place I've seen floor ducts is a trailer home
But I could see northern states have that for optimal heat spread
wet pilot
i've seen some home builders get cute and run the ducts between the first and 2nd floor
so the first floor has it on the ceiling and the 2nd floor has them on the floor

Your rate is (75% of X) right?
Then I'm like no sorry that wasn't my rate, and it's also gone up, it's (125% of X)

"for you it's twice as much" is a fun thing to tell people... We sold a ton of stuff on FB/cl during the move, and people low ball you like crazy, so I raise it. They start acting confused, and I raise it more. Then they ask, why are you doing that? To which my reply is "see how stupid it is to ask for something nowhere near it's value? Tell you what, I'll cut you a deal, for you it's 300% and we won't talk about it anymore".

To be fair my rate did go up :D

even so, the sounds are quite nice in a home studio, albeit, probably nothing like the Kronos

Sigh... bought an Orange Pi Zero (to replace my Pi Zero that's been acting "funky"). Got it all set up, plugged in the spare, good, BT dongle, and it turns out some time in the last "while" something happened to the BT dongle and it's no longer good 😠 Verified in other systems, and they all agree that the mystery USB device is broken and don't want anything to do with it...
Thankfully Amazon same day delivery means I get a replacement later today...

honestly i somewhat regret college
4 degrees and really barely used any of them

again.. idiomatic nomenclature
but when you said studying, i figured it was for courses
not self taught
clear ferry
wow, I have never actually been in a voice channel before
maybe I haven't had discord open while I've had my bose's on before 🤔
steel urchin
i agree that a degree has no true value, but there is a difference in academic pursuit and "learning javascript"
clear ferry
it just popped up and wanted me to change my audio devices
steel urchin
esp in something like computer science (not so much in business for example)
"i can make a react app" does not make an engineer
but i digress, i was just curious
clear ferry
I gave up school almost 20 years ago, and I have gotten the jobs I've wanted, while my friends who pursued education are either working in gas stations or as warehouse sales people 🤷♂️
and a few of them are dead 🤔
steel urchin
i'm not enforcing any stereotype that you need college/university to excel
if anything, the opposite... like i said, i have regrets
but, again... i see too many people go off to learn a language, and have literally no concept of best practices based on theory, just "that's how a tutorial told me to do it"
clear ferry
I tried doing an engineering degree, but I ended up just finding the internal student FTP and downloading star trek and warez 🤣

design patterns, antipatterns, architecture, etc... you rarely see someone just "learn" those

Could you imagine a university trying to teach k8s

I K8 you so much right now

@hushed basalt My old department already has a fully up and running K8S setup and students are given access as necessary for projects.
clear ferry
I've tried teaching people stuff, but I'm as educational as a dead pig, so I just say Tell me what you are trying to do, and we can do it together instead
strange vapor
Saying that, a company involved in K8S sponsered a new building and asked that they cover it so they're getting student out who know what it is.
steel urchin
but also, learning kubernetes is going back to "i know kubernetes" and then not knowing why you do something... poison patterns, consensus, etc... you typically won't learn that from "learning kubernetes"
strange vapor
Similar happened over in the engineering side. Analog Electrontronic sponsered a new building so that they could have input into the courses and get out people who knew lower level IC stuff
steel urchin
you might learn it on the job when someone teaches you, but then you learn THEIR way of doing it... not necessarily the right way
there's a million ways to skin a cat, but only a few that are accurate and precise enough to bother with
hushed basalt
puts away lawn mower
steel urchin
lol
just, when you get good enough with JS, start learning patterns.... they'll take you further, help you adapt to new languages faster, and allow you to communicate effectively without having to describe what those 2k lines of code do
and then study antipatterns so you don't make rookie mistakes (and when they're the only path).. and for the love of god, stay away from meta programming
what is the saying? so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should

lol i totally forgot to turn the breaker back on for the outlet where my devices charge... OOPS!

I was fiddling with my breaker and after I turned them all on. My internet was not working. So I called Verizon Tech support and after getting to level 2. The gentle man says "Why don't we check your breaker again?" I didn't turn them all on. I thanked him for his time and apologized for not realizing my own error
scenic radish
@steel urchin 0 to 88 in 15 min? i thought dash/warp charge was like 0-70 in 30 min
steel urchin
hahaha d'oh
that's minimum
68% is minimum expected charge
also, most OS's "normalize" the values, it could be higher or lower based on temps, age, etc
scenic radish
your poor battery then. charge rate of 4C...

Yeah I've heard that Super Duper Warp Speed Charge damages the battery over time

But since we all replaces every two years who cares lmao
scenic radish
ughhhhh
steel urchin
we'll see how long it lasts
scenic radish
glances nervously in OG pixel xl
steel urchin
i suspect that'll go lower and lower as time goes on... but i rarely get below 90%
valid halo
After 2 years your phone battery on average only holds 80% of it's charge
Charging your battery above 80% is bad. Having it get below 20% is bad. Batteries are finicky little monsters
scenic radish
i wouldn't say it's bad but charging to only 80% certainly helps with longevity
steel urchin
honestly never had any problems with batteries except NiMH
scenic radish
uses something like 0.5 charge cycles instead of 1.0 or something
valid halo
Remember when we had to worry about Battery Memory
steel urchin
my garage laptop has gone through some abuse on the charge, 8 years later still kickin
scenic radish
either way, in my mind, batteries can (usually) be replaced in devices even if technically "not user serviceable"
so i'm not even worried

Pixel 4a is out this year anyway, time to plan an upgrade 😉

i've tried the 2XL, 3 and 3a XL and returned them all lol

they've all had insane manufacturing issues

4a, not 4 😉
scenic radish
i still prefer the OG XL
steel urchin
i wanted to like the pixel, but i just can't be ripped away from oneplus
clever mortar
We've got both the 3a and 3 (and I've got the original) - they're all perfectly fine phones
steel urchin
and EFFFFf samsung
scenic radish
4a could be convincing. the only reason i returned the 3a XL is because the OG XL's display spoiled me (QHD instead of HD)
valid halo
I must admit
steel urchin
2 and first batch of 3 did iirc? 🤔
valid halo
I fail to understand the difference between QHD and HD on a phone
it's a tiny screen anyways
scenic radish
and a 6" PenTile OLED at only 1080p is... not the best choice
steel urchin
there's a Q in front
scenic radish
pentile is what makes the difference here

It's called having decent eyesight 😉
scenic radish
text looks "silky" on my OG XL but has jaggies on the 3a XL
i have terrible vision uncorrected. prescription of -6.5 for contacts

but i can't do contacts, they don't form to my eye right and fall out ALL the time 😦
scenic radish
yeah i'm -7.5 on my glasses
valid halo
Let me list out my problems as I grumble bitterly. I'm blind in one eye. I've got glaucoma. 8.0 glasses perscrip. and i've got nystagmus (my eye shakes when I try to focus on distant objects)
steel urchin
i went and got my eyes checked a few months ago, she tested my glasses and we went through the whole exam - exact same values in 10 year's time... so that's good at least

no need for root really these days

Are you sure it will even last that long?
rain swift
as long as I get decent battery life during that time, I could care less about charging to 100% but I do try not to go below 20%

@steel urchin but chroots....
rain swift
i've run my last 2 or 3 phones for 3 years.
steel urchin
but the kernel upgrades have gone through amazing strides, especially in lineage... you'd be surprised how much more performance you get out of it
rain swift
maybe it'll crap out, guess we shall see.
brisk glen
If I ever use android again, root is a must
steel urchin
completely different schedulers, both cpu and io, better networking performance
why do you need chroot on android?
literally every process is a jail
brisk glen
So I can spin up Debian?

when was the last time you used an android phone michael?

@steel urchin since Ryzen 2 yeah, I had an old i7 before that but since 2012 tho since no money to upgrade
But I just prefer to go with the bigger wave
AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU
steel urchin
k6-2 days is when i got my first AMD, been a fanboi ever since... My current laptop and my optiplex's are the first intel's i paid personal money for
but i've probably spent over 2 million just on intel procs 🤣
boreal pewter
I even stuck a AMD ryzen 3400g in my Deskmini Server which serves HA and 20 other Containers now
steel urchin
yeah, those threads are amazing
steel urchin
yeah, esp for that price... insane
i mean, the footprint is great, but not the cost
optiplex sff is pretty good though, much smaller than i envisioned
but i like i can add a pcie riser if i need, and it has a buttload of usb3
ok well 4x usb3, and 6x usb2... still... pretty nice for not needing a riser or hub
boreal pewter
The Deskmini Was modular enough for me considering the size
steel urchin
almost went that route, but was worried it was larger than i wanted
still, i'm happy with this unit
boreal pewter
1 NVMe in it yet, 16GB fast CL16 3200Mhz ram and a quiet and cool Noctua CPU cooler
steel urchin
nice! yeah that was one downside to my setup... only ddr3 1600mhz :S and no NVME
but honestly, that's probably overkill imo

Netdata is a all in one but you can turn it into an agent only
wet pilot
i had a factorio server running for a bit. not now though
boreal pewter
To mention Netdata is the best Real time Monitor, wouldn't use backends for that and save long term, that can quickly turn into a mess
wet pilot
i've seen it but i haven't picked it up
steel urchin
it's so pretty
that's why i like the influx route... don't have to worry about storage, retention policies manage that for me
i put everything to 7 days max, which is probably 3-4 days more than i need really
although i need to find how i can make a sensor of the data... if my cpu dips too low i know i have something crashed/failed (like last night when a win10 vm didn't start back up)... super simple litmus test, but it'd work for me
boreal pewter
Netdata writes All it's data every second. Storage doesn't matter, rather all the other Hardware that is supposed to Display 7 days of every second with a few thousand checks 😂
It's not too Bad to run it with 24h just in ram
steel urchin
right but on reboot or power failure you lose the data
realtime is almost useless once you get things stable
it's when things go wonky you need that data
and yes, i said wonky
this alexa integration process is pissing me right the fuck off

Correct you Lose the data, but having that Problem and fear there are other problems more important than a Monitoring System 😂
