see if you knew php, this wouldn't happen..
ah sorry
haha
Well, no, I'd have hung myself already
I think PHP 6 was also the first one where register_globals and other fun functions were disabled by default.
I did used to know some php though... just enough to be dangerous
yea php is easy like that, to learn enough to get into trouble
I don't evven know what the prefered language is these days for web stuff like forums
register_globals galore and no sql injection protection ๐
when I started doing forums you could actually do them in flash lol
RE: php - i remember when a constant wasn't defined, but was used, it was just streamed out as plain text... one time a dev had added a very very vulgar constant name that I won't repeat, and an old lady using her ancient webtv (anyone remember those????) didn't have CSS load, and it appeared (no one had known until then it was in production) and she called and complained... $200k fine from PUC later, you damn well better believe we scrubbed that source
that was a pita
DirectAdmin was used by a lot of smaller shared hosts at the time. By default it used mod_php, and the standard fix for uploading files was to set directories to 777. If one site got compromised, it was easy to screwup a few thousand more ๐ฆ
meeeemoriesss
webtv
no one ever had a flat monitor like that with a keyboard like that lol
that kb came with the webtv
I know
that rebranded generic RCA universal remote tho
I have a Cobalt Raq 4 here with PHP3 and a Linux 2.2 kernel. Still works. Used it to trigger a form of PTSD on my old boss by redirecting requests from his desktop to our Control Panel to the Raq 4 control panel ๐
one of the first things I was tasked with on this project I'm working on right now is getting rid of the PHP java bridge
because it was running PHP4 and was horribly insecure
and we couldn't upgrade the app server because the bridge wouldn't work with newer versions of java
Good luck upgrading a Raq 4. It's boot loader is, em, odd!
php will make a comeback, you all will see
look at what they doing to JS
i mean come on lol
@last dirge Had to do something similar before. Zend encoded commercial app on PHP 4 or 5 where the company had gone out of business and no one had the source. Reimplementing in a blackbox style was less than fun ๐ฆ
i actually prefer those types of gigs
I do not
well, depending on the level of control you have anyway
you always get shit on for not going fast enough by people who don't know WTF they're talking about
in my case, i've always been brought in to tell everyone what to do
I'm always brought in to do
i like talking to the business people and figuring out where the product failed them, and how to make it better
what would you say ... you do here?
lol
i should watch office space again, been a minute
hey, holes are fixed and lookin damn good ๐
lol
dusty just cleaned up all the sheetrock mess
flooring replaced (they did that shit QUICK)
hot tea for the throat (allergy season in ATX)

life is good
ooh, now that i have the alexa skills working, i can ditch this other controller!
about time

ok this dude collects antique tools just to collect them? yea no.. I get buying older tools for quality to use but not to collect them lol
well tbf i only spent like 5ish hours on it
his whole channel is making stuff with hand tools
and 4.75 of those hours were scratching my head wondering why the docs said "do x" and it didn't work
Looked at home assistant for the first time today and fixing my PR for a feature a friend wanted (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/30628). Wish me luck!
I couldn't find the party horn emoji
NVMe drives are pretty nuts
i miss the days of buying random domains and slapping a stupid single page up
i just bought a domain... fuckin $45/year
namecheap
cheapest there, it was ~$60 everywhere else
https://pointerpointer.com/ is a fun one actually
wait you bought and resold marked up domains?
oh good, was about to fetch my rubber hose to beat you with lol
that's the one i REALLY want ๐ฆ
they almost let it lapse last year, but re-grabbed it last second
when SC2 released I got involved with a arcade map that ended up with it's own community (forums ect) and it only took like 3 months till the domains containing the maps name started being gobbled up by people trying to resale it for stupid prices. I mean come on https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=marinearena&e=com
at first you couldn't get .info, .co.. over the years many of them stopped trying to hold onto them and resale them for gouging prices but the .com's nevver let go lol
a guy I know bought up a shitload of afghani domains to resell
like salty.af
and the like
Linus is giving ZFS the cold shoulder, mainly thanks to Oracle: https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=189711&curpostid=189841
I love how unapologetically opinionated Linus is
Note: that behavior doesn't look the same on everyone ๐คฃ
I don't think linus knows as much as he comes across as, i think camera magic and behind the scene's scripting portray something he's really not
he reads and such sure but as for hands on
I just don't see it
hmmm... we're talking about different Linus' i do believe ๐
Linus Torvalds, not Linus Sebastian ๐
but, Linus [Sebastian] got his start doing reviews (as did Kyle and Paul) for other companies like NCIX and Newegg (respectively).... they got a fanboi following, and just got good backing.... i think they are smart in their own ways... afterall, they're continually given a few hundred thousands of dollars of hardware annually and well-sponsored... more than i can say for any of us! ๐
Linus Sebastian ๐คข
he's your hero
Linus torvalds 
@clear ferry so your all pumped full of measles and ready to bring us the black plague?
Yes, I am the pale rider
Prepare to have all your ๐ stuff eaten
@scenic radish promised me everything
I don't think YT linus ever pretended to be highly knowledgeable
@scenic radish promised me everything
and that was the last we heard from @clear ferry
From the little what I've seen, the YT linus never seemed to pretend that much. The other Linus seems like a bit of a troll from what I've read though ๐
the guy who wrote his own OS a troll?
you don't say

Anyone have client side SSL set up? Following this gist (https://gist.github.com/mtigas/952344) and have things set up but am still getting a 400 in my browser. Not getting prompted for the cert.
No required SSL certificate was sent
2009
It's Linus Torvald for those who don't know
oh that makes so much more sense
still doesn't explain why there are windows 7 copies where the ciggies and grog should be though
I gotta admit
Thanks to Linus Tech tips
I am never sure if "Linus" means The linux dude or the "Look at my free Nvidia" stuff dude
What about the best Linus
gasps
i have a ir receiver/transmitter. when in console i press pwr button on remote i get
00:38:04 MQT: basement-ir-blaster/tele/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NIKAI","Bits":24,"Data":"0x0D5F2A","DataLSB":"0xB0FA54","Repeat":0}}
so i am using the command
IrSend{"Protocol":"NIKAI","Bits":24,"Data":"0x0D5F2A","DataLSB":"0xB0FA54","Repeat":0}
to try to transmit
i can see the ir are lighting up with a camera. the console also report that it has sent and also received the same code
but the tv is not turning off/on
i did double check the code received with 2 remotes that do control the tv and it is same code
any suggestions ??
it is running tasmota
ok so i got help in tasmota channel it was a combination of how far away i was and the "repeat" value needed incremented

Can you add that emoji to the home assistant server pls @trail crag
"Mild panic" lol
A picture of you should be enough to describe mild panic
Even to alien cultures ๐ฝ
Is it possible to receive anaphylaxis from a picture
Sorry, is that better?
hes already dead
Send epipens
I offer free two-day shipping on epipens
I saw a documentary once, you want Adrenalin right to the heart for sure
just stab it in there
Pulp Fiction would have been my guess
bingo
Good movie
need more animated emojis
confused why this shelly is staying around 80-90F
even when not in use
Do you have more than one
no only one in a double gang box
it's not alarming or anything, just seems like it would run alittle cooler for what it is
Anyone remember TechTV?
Come to bed honey
I remember wishing we had it
Stop talking to those weirdos on discord
anyway..there was a clip back in the old days. They setup a computer with a harddrive bay with some thermite it a big red switch. Placed it over a working HD. The theory being if you were raided, just flip the switch and the HD would fry beyond saving.
Especially that tediore guy
The sudo rm and DD got me thinking about it.
Toss in a sonoff relay, and a self destruct Home assistant script, you could wire in some kill switches around the house.
my wife's an F cup. Im way past dd's ๐
F = Triple D, for the record.
dale3h mentally heard F cup and looked up.. lol
wtf there is a sneakercon now?
lol
sneakercon. You watching Jeff Goldblum?
no saw a posting for it on reddit
ah. Jeff Goldblum did a show about it on Disney +
thats messed up
i think i've never understood collecting things... nothing against anyone that does, but i try to get rid of stuff, not amass more ๐คฃ
i have a friend that has literally an entire bedroom FULL of funko pop's
cept smart switches amirite? lol
lol
it's an inventory at that point ๐
what sucks is i decided i wanted to use one of the recessed cans in the corner as an alert light (different colors indicate different things)... and that i'd have to first switch the switch on and then the light lol, but i don't want ALL the lights to come on
so... that'll be fun
there's 5 on the same run, might have to run a new line to the one can i want segregated
just buy a wall mounted wall light with a plug lol
throw the rgb light in there and leave it on, prersto
condo's have wall lights everywhere lol
well f hardwiring an alert light lol
no u
thats alot of work for something that has one use lol
no u

so i gotta say, i'm not very creative... after i got the alexa skills set up, i have no clue what to do with them
i'm somewhat copasetic that i can tell her to turn a specific light or fan on/off
why i never evven bought a google mini or anything, point of automation is to not havve to say or do anything lol
it just happens
well, we have a very open floor plan, so motion sensors are kinda dooky in this situation
plus, there's potential issues where it doesn't still recognize anyone in the room and then turns lights off on you
lol that powerstrip looks safe
{% set word = blowfish %}
{{ word[0:4] }} me
I hate 0 indexing
Same
Because it's counter intuitive to the real world
I know why
But everything clashes
everything starts with 0 in computers
read that... with 1-based index everything gets ugly af easily
๐ the Nerd in me wants to say "technically everything starts with the 1 in computers" (as in a bit is on), but then that'd just support telco's hate speech
I mean I also understand why, it just throws me off sometimes
Need to think harder
git gud scrub
it becomes natural once you get used to it though...
also in math starting at 1 leads to "off by one" errors
which compound as well
It's almost like people have different opinions on things, how strange ๐
what the heck is going on in here.. math wars?
alright nerds! break it up! settle down! put back on your glasses and reinsert your pocket protectors!
Cognitive load is far more valuable than computer load
load up on some bits

Hey atx
Good morning
9๏ธโฃ

his hand is too big in that pic
YUGE
where the fuck is that emoji from anyway lol

It's better than yours
More like
"I have problem x"
"Oh #613790866523422723 huh??????????"

I wish we could talk about home assistant in this channel as long as it isn't asking questions
Maybe we need a "shoot the shit" channel
@moardz
@MAWDS
Lmaoooooo

lol now you've fucked up
nice knowing y'all ๐
Nuclear launch detected
Are you not able to delete it?

Ah tru
ded

Where is the fire?
atxbyea pinged you
We uh, put it out
breaks out the hammer
๐
I am ready daddy
๐จ ๐จ ๐จ ๐จ ๐จ
Lmao wtf
@ocean mirage for the crime you have committed, you have two choices: death, or exile.
lol i'll take that as a no
Can I choose both?
nah, he's just forced to run :dev
@ocean mirage death it is...by exile!
What about cake?
it's a lie
You rang?
it's a party now!
Where's the fire
Bat signal!!
oof, now he really fucked up

Who did that
not it!
Wait wtf happened lmao
@ocean mirage is everything okay
how'd I get that notification so late?
it's a hard ping for all mods
whoa.. chatters
Finally someone asking the real questions
Did someone touch you
Is the world ending yet
"Did you shart?"
I am harassing him
@ocean mirage please answer
SHOW ME ON THE BEAR
Quite often
Mistake
Blink twice if someone is behind you
Ok
Point on this picture where the robot touched you.
wait so when we're lonely we only need to PING ALL MODS!?
oh boy
?warn @ocean mirage 5m made a "mistake" and tagged all mods
Whiskerz#1173 has been warned.
How did it happen again???
Your one and only warning
Why can't we ping @jedi 
what does the 5m part mean
Banned 5 million years
2x warn == ban
@clear ferry Because I tagging disabled for that role.
He came, and he went!
I love the quotes around "mistake" lol
So this is how you wake up a channel
Look what I have done for the health of the server
just watching all the mods slowly sign on, that's impressive
you are all welcome
Need to try it out in #diy-archived next time noone answers my question
You also wake up mods, and get a nice placement on the naughty list
can you restrict tagging of roles per role?
@clear ferry Were you here for the at-every1 ping that @clever mortar did in #zwave-archived one day? ๐
Tinkerer is away for 7h 33m 31s with a message :point_right: Attempting to reboot reality, please hold...
yea let us only harass green mods lol
If you got discord notifications on loud while you are asleep that sounds like a personal problem
@peak cloud hahah no
Oh boy
That's almost 2y ago now ๐
I wasn't even born 2y ago 
baby atx
Discord born that is
Should inject a background call into the next HA

That turns on all media players at maximum volume and broadcasts klaxon
Every time someone pings at everyone
Mention @ocean mirage in the next release notes
I assume everyone pings are not allowed but I am not about to try that now
like dont work
i think atEverone is role restricted
figured
Itโs restricted to mod usage.
Try it
confused how it dosen't happen more often?
same for atHere
Jdmwatt doesn't like it when you mention him
I mean come on, it's discord
What about @nobody 
@clear ferry why did you ping me?
haha
lol telco he really doesnt
Ha, inb4d
Time is relative
If you live in Tasmania everything is relative
I'll be the recipient of @dadbody then
Actually itโs disable for mods too!

Write a script to ping everyone
I think you disabled that for everyone after tinkerer tried it out
most bots have a way to quickly enable a role (including everyone) for mentioning and disable within 10ish seconds
All pings of any kind should be redirected to just hit @light trout , he is here always anyway
or you make a bot role and a command for it

let TMidi be the only one who can ping all green mods.
oh look a vote!
@forest edge You can ping all green mods using atMod
that gets all mods
that's exactly what happened ๐
as I have rpoven
Oh really? Let me try
should be reserved for an "incident"
However, since me and Robbie are also admin, our colors are different. We both also have Mod role.
super mods
@Mawds
Gods
Didn't work
Robbie likes it when you ping mods
admins mod the mods
Dogs
like a dog
sdoM@
it's these purples you gotta look out for..
@Doms
You rang?
@subs
Oshit
heh
Lol
whipped
Group tagging is mostly restricted with good reason. The only one that anyone can do (I think) is atMods, but it is reserved for when mod action is necessary.
Or, you know
I really thought that it would take the entire word with the s when I went atMods
but alas...
โMistakesโ
@DaddyAtxbyea
do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Question: was it a mistake?
Answer: The Stars Say No
Nah, youโve already received your warning.
Oh, haha, I definitely didnโt recognize that.
OK BOOMER
๐ ๐ฅ ๐ช ๐ท
@peak cloud you need more pink Floyd in your life
he likes some norwat music too but its all trash
I think thats likely the first guitar solo I learnt properly on electric guitar
I actually never learned it
The same time I started listening to Floyd I also started playing bass
Bass is good fun
yellow ledbetter was the first song i learned
Money, get away
took fo-evah
Never got into grunge
neither really
My friend actually tasked me with learning a metal song recently, been enjoying it despite me not listening to metal
i haven't touched my guitars in years
i was thinking of getting rocksmith to get back into it
I've never tried rocksmith, you should rock out again either way for the sake of it
We shall not forget these!
i was never all that great, just a teen that wanted to think he was cool
yeah i agree... it's been in the back of my mind
so funny... it just dawned on me when i said earlier i don't understand collecting things
i actually used to have a collection of guitars, but i didn't "collect" them, they were oddly acquired (no not stolen)
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I basically only use one guitar lol, it does it all well
I play the drums. Always wanted to learn guitar
the only guitar i bought was literally because joe satriani signed it right in front of me
and the dude had no idea who it was, just heard him riff
hehe
I have three electric guitars and a bass, but one of them is a bit warped, and my strat is in parts awaiting painting (for over a year now lol)
so its just my tele and my bass
all I need
then a friend saw it, and gave me hers... then the same for another friend... then i had to empty this storage bin for our office and the CEO had passed, and left 3 guitars in there so i offered to take them
yawn
I do want an acoustic though
then one day our house got broken into and they all went stolen
oof
i have a takamine acoustic that's always been fun to play on
I have a shitty acoustic but I leant it to my brother....for ever
I want something around the $1k mark, taylor or martin or something
nice, mine's a cheapo like $250 guitar
they all make noise
Neeeenowneeeenowneeenow
Just get the app
And on that note, good night
haha true, an old friend of mine made it sing man... always felt shitty after playing having fun and he picked it up and ripped on it
he has jokes too!?!?
Based on @ocean mirage findings at-moderinoz shouldn't be tried either 
you mean @everyone gets one
hah
@ocean mirage I've played guitar for 25 years, bass for 20, keys for 6 and drums for 4, I still suck at all ๐
viral in the making
And barbies
Chuck a koala on the barbie
How about we run a charity drive
$1 for every minute atxbyea doesn't make a wise crack
or something
I'm sure we'll reach $5 eventually
he only makes unwise cracks
thyeats nauwght a noif
eh its not as hot as some places
Almost as hot as FORBIDDEN TOPIC
I'd just like to say that I believe I coined the forbidden topic thing lol
@scenic radish reeeeee
Tediore is away for 5s with a message :point_right: sleep
man my sonoff bridge ordered from amazon before thanksgiving mind you had an original delivery date of jan 7th. 7th came and they updated to between the 7th and the 31st.. they just updated the delivery date again to between jan 7th and feb 29th lmao
ordering crap from china through amazon is a nightmare
oh huh... it's a leap year
ordering crap from china is a nightmare
ftfy
i ordered something 3 months ago before we moved, last shipment information update was nov 5th... no clue if i'll ever get it... ordered a phone case a month ago, got it today... doesn't look anything like the picture other than the shape and markings

gonna have alexa give you play by play of what dusty is doing? lol
Ted reminds me of KVN from final space
Ssml?
Speech Synthesis Markup Language
yea that SSML looks like a alot of work for very little gain lol
Versus message: bla bla bla
yea but what are you gonna gain? speech correction on some words? lol
no, more natural speaking
make her pause between each word so it's takes 10 mins for her to say LOOK OUT!
whispers, emphasis on words
the whisper mode part i like
for things like flash briefings, directions, etc.. you don't want like sentances to just run into each other and go on and on all awkward robot-like
it makes it more natural.. ."First.... Grab a spoon....... Then beat @forest edge over the head with it" vs the lame "First grab a spoon then beat sonoma over the head with it"
or "HEY! someone is at the door" versus "hey someone is the door" like a lame robot
yea but you have to write every entry, just curious what you could add that would actually benifit from it
if it was something auto that be one thing, but writing 100 line sof code for her to correctly say beat someone with a spoon it makes you question
anotherh example: https://youtu.be/FucapfzyVKM?t=90

Hmm
I just discovered android discord works in upside down portrait mode
The possibilities are endless
I can even mirror discord in landscape to my touchscreen car player
Even more possibilities

is that how you talk to us on your way to work? lol
No way I'm wasting money on a car wash until the sand-and-salt-season is over.
I wash the car atleast once a month during the winter and salting season
I'm summer I do it at home once a month or two months
On monday I brang my car the first time to wash and I had to make the round 3 times until it was clean enough to get the polish applied afterwards
Can a Roku play media from Plex?
Maybe DLNA?
Lol NVM... Helps in a search if I actually type Plex correctly
Might spend tomorrow diving into the Plex/radarr thing we talked about the other night
I usually say that any client for less than 100 bucks will not properly stream Plex
At least I'm not aware of a good and cheap client
RPI4 ?
RPI4 as client? I don't think so
What would be wrong with it?
I don't THINK so. I not gonna search google for hours now for the technical descriptions. I'm at work. But just use it, stream a few common 60GB+ Movies and see yourself if it does Transcoding or not
I THINK it will transcode = terrible
Hum Okay..
I'm an average user, I have the RPI4 as client (resenctly switched to Kodi+official Plex plugin) with PoE and as it's not working as sever it just plays the film over the Gbit Ethernet, it works amazingly well.
It won't ever transcode, that's handled by the Plex Server which in my case is a Proliant Microserver Xeon Gen8. Not the most powerful but works great.
WOuld be nice to know for sure tho
IF you can hand me an example file, I'll be happy to try it!
The Plex Server does transcoding depending on the client. So the client decides if the server has to transcode or not
And you want to make sure it does NOT
You do not want transcoding
Yes, agreed... yet, to be that don't mean the player/client is a good or bad. to me that's more a discussion if you have good enough source material... ?
Mh mh no idea how I could share a file to you..
Gdrive? - and b.t.w. I'm also at work, so No chance to test at this very moment.. ๐
Yeah but my files are encrypted in the drive ofc. And I not gonna put that stuff decrypted on there, too high the risk of the account. And my personal free account doesn't have so much storage ๐
If it calms your mind, I do have a 29GB file, that plays easily.
probably is in my case too...
Just the standard
I don't have 4k material, I see no use to have it since my TV is just FullHD...
Well, yeah then it doesn't make sense to test that with you
Agreed...
You would transcode 4k then anyway since you only have 1080p
Yes, true that...
But expressing your opinions like everything is c**p if it don't support 4K isn't really honest either.
RPI can be a very good media player if someone just wants 1080p.
So if @steel urchin just want a fullHD player, and a cheap one, RPI is a really good one.
You ought to know who asks and what preferences he or she has before calling out c**p on all and anything.
No one with a technical debt is gonna do fullhd
No transcoding is the most important thing
Not even for PC gaming
4k is the General Standard since years
I wouldn't even be aware of a Company still making that stuff ๐
At least I wouldn't buy a PI2 anymore, would You?
4K is worth it though imo
Or an Intel Pentium 2?
Even if your content is 1080p
Yeah it's just Standard
Upscaling on my tv is very very good
YMMV with different brands and models
Apparently hisense is no good at AI upscaling
Yeah my LG is ๐
It was like twice the cost,
So value per dollar was not great
Although after using my mums samsung tv, that OS is a pile of ๐ฉ
I just wish Infuse had an app for LG then I can repurpose my ATV
Yeah, LG > Samsung imo
but the OS got sluggish after a year or so, so I switched to a Roku
much faster for Plex
i had gotten a few samsung 8 series 65" when we first moved into the house.. and i opened the first, got it set up, and spent like 2 days tweaking the colors... it looked like shit to me... so i figured, maybe it was funky, opened a 2nd.. then a 3rd.. then the 4th... they all were shitty looking
so then i went with the LG 6090 series
they looked identical, crappy quality, horrible upscaling
eventually i got fed up and on black friday i got the sharp 65" 4k.... basically hisense since they're the same company
and it looks better by magnitudes
the colors do look more saturated, but scaling and overall quality of the panel feels much better
full array dimming as well, the LG was not
so i said fuck it, got the sharp... for the offices i got crappy lil walmart special "element" tv's that still looked better than the samsungs
but all have roku, except the sharp, which is android
Wife is considering changing from Samsung now, she's had Samsung phone since the S3
but they are becoming so bloated and shite
They are shit since ages
i had an s3 as a dev device, did not like
I had 3 high-end Samsung phones when they came out, so spend a good amount of money for it, and they all were fucked
I had an S3, S5, then moved to Huawei Mate 7, then P9 then P20 Pro
so back to the plex topic.. i did play a 4k video over kodi to my android tv and it streamed just fine
I don't like my Huawei Mate20 Pro tho. I wait for a good Xiaomi...
i hadn't considered the roku device might be less powerful, but it's built into the tv so i'm not even sure what the specs are
and forgot there's the whole transcoding side of plex
@steel urchin "streamed just fine" is no indicator if it does transcoding or not actually
And 4k is not just 4k
HDR10, HEVC, 5.1, 7.1
4k is a video spec,not audio
5.1 vs 7.1 has no impact on 4k quality
No shit sherlock
Just do what I tell, the CPU usage will tell if it does transcoding or not ^^
kodi doesn't transcode, it plays what you give it
or it stutters into a halt and fails
So we rather just leave that topic I think
I will probably try the new Xiaomi mate next time I change phones
@clear ferry for me there is currently no good Xiaomi I'd take. I HOPE that the Mi 10 Pro will finally be one I take
no point in insulting someone and then completely fabricate an argument that you're making assumptions about
just makes you look stupid
@steel urchin no one is insulting you. I hope you don't tell that I do/did. Because then I gonna do it for real
No shit sherlock
Just do what I tell, the CPU usage will tell if it does transcoding or not ^^
how about you don't talk to me like that and we'll be cool
grow up, and learn some manners along the way
don't make me ping a mod lol
please do, maybe he'll learn his lesson faster
YOu tell something totally obvious, take it totally out of concept, make ME look stupid and then argue that I insult you and have no manners, now call me kid and want to call a Mod. You're that kind of dumbfuck I would take care of 30 seconds in some dark corner ๐
lol..... i didn't make you look stupid, only you can do that
It's not the first time YOU fuck arguments with me totally up, but you have not learned your lesson since then
you guys really need to drop it or take it to pm lol
he just needs some manners is all
i merely asked a question, and he was condescending for no apparent reason
I only told you what to look for. ANd you tell me that audio channels are no video codecs. Well thank you for telling... ๐คฆ
Hope that was more to your liking
๐คฆ
when someone asks a question, either just answer or don't, no need to demean anyone in the process
You can't even leave the topic as is obviously
I still only kindly told you what to look out for ๐คท I can't help it
@forest edge 
i've already pointed out how i didn't like the way you were speaking to me, if you choose to continue playing stupid about, that's on you. Then you threatened me as if you were some big boi in a dark alley.... so put yourself in check before someone else does it for you
the community doesn't need people like you
I would just say the same about you, people unable to read and to understand. And that is exactly PROVEN from our huge discussion in #449717345808547842 where you simply did not READ and UNDERSTAND.
what the hell is that? a pedo siren?
๐คฃ
Yeah atxblyat is coming for you ๐
picture of @ocean mirage soldering https://images.app.goo.gl/gYXTGNS7VeCEofRW8
first step is admitting it, second step is purchasing the tshirt
haha
well its been like a year since I soldered and I was trying to feed the solder with the same hand holding the iron, which I used to be able to do
but uhh...not today
do it like this @ocean mirage https://images.app.goo.gl/Vmu3bEsAoW5s2Fo6A
JUST SMILE
AND SOLDER THAT SCREEN FROM AN ANGLE

how many animated emotes do you have!?
atxbyea lives for the emojis

.s/user/abuser
that's what i was thinking... i couldn't remember the setup, i use like 3 emotes lol
well 4 now thanks to Tediore ๐ค

atx has like every key on the keyboard bound to a different emoji and just swaps between `+ and CTRL+ lol
reminds me of the Tiki100 keyboard
it had 32 F keys
or was it an earlier tiki ๐ค
I had one of the keyboards atleast
used it as a console keyboard when I got my first server room in 2001
almost asked if you were holding another mug in hand while waiting on the one to fill lol
Lol
I see a ring on your finger...there go my dreams
Those are what I imagine Henry VIII's hands look like
lol what does that even mean
It can mean whatever you think it to mean
zzzz waiting for customer support to reset my remote access passwords ๐ค
so they reset for my regular user first, then forgot to enter my mobile number for 2FA, then forgot to add me to the horizon group so I got access to vmware view, then forgot to change the password to my admin user
and here I am
๐ค
3 billable hours so far today, and 2 yesterday ๐คฃ
If you are bored I know how to liven up the server
Oh my god
Some web designers need to be shot
Every recipe I look up on my mobile
12 pages of a blog article about the recipe
Top banner, bottom banner
recipe websites are terrible in general, doubly so on mobile
Fixed zoom at size 40 font
Aaaaaand a newsletter subscription popup
Oh and the actual content sucks
"three easy steps"
Each step is a paragraph with 12 steps each in sentence structure.
It's worse than reading documentation by atxbyea
Dont even pass Norwat standards
any advices on (possibly free & simple) 3d room plan software?
Still getting used to discord.
shes 15 months now, we are a lot of new parents in here trying to make smart houses @cosmic flint ๐คฃ
The idea for me is to make the house work for you, not the other way around.
Life gets too hectic with everything else going on, why have even more work with a "dumb" house.
I've been working 50% last year with paid paternity leave, and working 81% for the next 21 months with more leave
That's really awesome!
so while she still was immobile and sleeping a lot I implemented a lot of cool stuff in the house
Work gave me paternity leave also. Paid for 90 days.
now I just chase her, while trying to come up with good ideas that I have five minues to implement ๐คฃ
Hahaha. Totally awesome.
I got 40 weeks paid, because my wife is a full time student so she get's none
I could choose from 40 weeks 100% paid or 50 weeks 80% paid
Ouch. The wife was a tech and because my leave last month, she decided to go PRN.
My english just failed... gahh
my leave ended last month*
Awesome. Pretty similar to Slack.
yeah, same shit different wrapping 
What? No way! Indeed.

I haven't even mastered home assistant templates so, you're gonna be waiting a while.
i'm a patient manchild.

I'm more about getting a bunch of people to fund an awesome programming nerd to do it with lots of mountain dew and cheetos.
we can fund @light trout ? ๐ค
get him to set up a gofundme or something LOL
trade the mountain dew for a dr pepper and you've got it
DONE
that's pretty slick

We usually have -15-30 now
that's because your moutain people
do you have an epic mountian beard.
I have the weakest beard in the history of man
I've seen 15 year old boys with more than me
I have an impressive belly though

what did you say that day? coworkers threw empty cans at you and were disappointed that they didn't orbit around you or something?
what kind of coworkers is that lol
Damn Swedes
That's what

But we have pretty open relationships in Scandinavia, and we have tough skin
I can even call my boss a c and they will just laugh
That's how Scandinavians work
That's my biggest issue working with Americans, I always have to watch my words closely
lol
Or just mute my phone on conference calls 
yea we don't tend to take to name calling and insults and foul language during work hours very favorably and many don't even outside of work lol
which is weird cause compared to like the japanese we're vulgar lol
I don't really know any non americans, outside of here, and I don't even know who isn't american here, i'm very sheltered.
the rest of the world has figured out how to blend in with us, we've been invaded
I often wonder if communities based around open source software have a higher euro-contingent than other software/online communities
sometimes seems that way lol
Eurostyle 
https://link.ui.com/# I remember when the software for doing this was so expensive it was painful, and now it's just a free website
Heck, telling my boss to get me a coffee would probably be quite rude in the us work culture
I do that quite often ๐
@scenic radish look at my listening to Spotify 
Tediore is away for 46m 10s with a message :point_right: daily reminder to ๐ฏ
just got an alert that we're potentially having some tornados... weeeee
@clear ferry While bringing a new hire from the US around the office a while ago, I introduced one of the Directors in the company who sits near me as "A quare bollox from Cork" and the poor girl almost had a heart attack. I think she was expecting me to be fired there and then.
@clear ferry drones, good album
dead inside, reapers, aftermath ๐
mercy's pretty good too
some of my other favorite songs:
map of the problematique and glorious from black holes and revelation
stockholm syndrome from absolution
citizen erased and futurism from origin of symmetry
I'll just leave this here. https://www.sunflower-labs.com/
I was looking into hooking guns into security cams when I got into cams, but those damn laws.
Wasn't there a thing going around a few years ago where some mounted a revolver under a DJI Phantom?
good lord
unsure if joke or actual american
por que no los dos?
It worked, but the recoil would take out the drone every time
I am positive someone did it lol
