Obi would be proud of you for seeing that π
W A N T A T X B Y E A? N O P E

π€
See now if that frontend had syntax and variable highlighting
You would have picked it up right away
I'm still wondering what igb1 and igb2 are up to
are they ok?
did they find their parents
ded
the call is coming from inside the house
I'm in
is that a thumb drive?
@clear ferry will be seeing you in a few hours
\/\/ | |\| |] [] \/\/ $
what are you doing over here @tidal bronze ?
he's coming to shivv you

I thought you wanted to hang out perhaps go see the coke thing
π€£
i wanna do alot of coke then come on here and help people with thier ha problems!
That would be epic but humane

With their FORBIDDEN TOPIC problems???
hey is thier an appropriate place to get some help trying to figure out why my previously working install is no longer working now that ive left it sitting for about a month and reconfigured the wireless (new location)
i dont want do anything that goes against the rules thats why im asking lol
How did you install forbidden topic?
followed the instructions off https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/
@scenic radish you crack me up man.
worked fine before π
but i took it with me when i moved, dusted it off tonight and i can ping it, but nothing seems to load on 8123
Off to #330990055533576204 for you
ah thank you π
apply π¨ then π back in
Pin that shit
that dude used the π©Ή method which should mirror your setup Tediore lol
I thought that was a peanut and was confused
I now see it is a bandage and I'm still confused
Are you making fun of me?
the normal vacuum
Any word on nest temp sensors working like ecobee?
oh no, hide the good product links, bring out the shit!
mine got here
replacement so far
i'm contemplating on whether i want to do it now or wait until tomorrow.. partied my ass off for the last 3 days... my liver is feeling it π€£
these things are driven by Huawei socs and i bet anything they are overheating
yeah overheating was my guess
so before you do anything, remove the 6 screws off the back, take off that cheap ass yellow thermal pad and use some thermal paste on the soc and the memory right below it
hmm ok.. i'll wait till tomorrow then
the heat shield is garbage but atleast the trasnfer of heat will be better than what that pad is doijng
i don't have any pads to put on it, just toss raw paste on it?
ah ok there's a "proper" shield
term used loosely
yea just typical pc thermal paste
mine ran solid for 2 days then shit itself lol
like a bucket's worth lol
so i ordered a replacement
Don't tell trump it's Huawei
aND I TOOK THE TIME TO TEAR IT APART LOL
lol i KNEW it'd crap on you
damn caps lock
OK I'M GLAD YOU GOT IT APART
dude half the people i was with this weekend are loud fucks.. my ears are ringing
someone came in here earlier asking about the amcrest, i told them don't buy it lol
it's a shame
i don't like the fishbowl lens the nelly thing or that dbz2 or whatever those are
so it sucks that is the only other "cheap" option
yea mine crapped out only at night both times and because of the stupid thing swapping back and forth between bw/color turning on and off the irs
which caused heat
to the point it overheated
i tried to turn off the auto mode for that but it died on me the second i did that and i couldn't get it to reset
You mean the IR cut filter goes in a loop ?
well not spaz like that, but will swap frequently because the outside ambient lighting dosen't remain dark enough or light enough to maintain one mode
it always cycles like this color > bw > ir lights on > ir lights off > color > repeat
and sometimes it will do it quicker than others but I laready know those irs coming on take a toll
huh i didn't have that
just added the thermostat to HA, noice!
errr, except it sorta failed :S
waits for codex to update to 104
i updated before i left π
i didn't like the group.all_lights going away, but i made a simple script to do a service call
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
noone here would be suprised if you actually had a switch named that just fyi
Security Alert: invalid topic under discussion. Cease this activity immediately.
"I like home assistant"
is banned for speaking about FORBIDDEN TOPIC
but on a good note, i'm 100% off alarm.com bs
yeah i know, in some ways it is
but it came with the house and the iqpanel 2, which also is crap
was everything wireless?
finally...... I figured out how to access a dam external drive from a bash script started from macos launchd
that was freaking hell
@steel urchin supposedly this https://www.amazon.com/Security-Doorbell-Resolution-Real-Time-Response/dp/B07R3WY95C is suppose to get rtsp at some point in the future. so may wanna bookmark if your replacement lasts that long lol
hmm is there a release eta for said firmware?
nope
i just want this one to work π€£
maybe with the thermal paste trick it might be alright
lets hope
make sure to tell me since i got about a week or so before i get my replacement
i'm currently fighting the lock itself, added it unsecured and boop.. fighting the system
Can't wait till it's done π
LIfx are soo expensive
@quartz ether They are pretty good, (LIFX) Graham from my local hackerspace in Melbourne was the cofounder, I am pretty supportive of the company as the guys are local to me and came from nothing to challenge real players like Phillips Hue, Osram Lightify etc. Overall I think they are decent kit and can be had for around half price during promo periods.
@hushed basalt oof?
As in what does oof mean?
Still way to expensive. LimitlessLED are like 10% the price and effectively have all the exact same bulbs etc as all of those brands if not a larger range.
@rare condor http://futlight.com And you can make an arduino controller that can mimic hubs so insanely cheap to expand.
Futlight Optoelectronics co ltd is a leading company for smart led lighting, which specializes in wireless led controller, wifi led bulb, wifi led downlight, wifi led track light, milight, LoRa 433MHz garden light,wireless portable led table light,Smart Charger,miboxer,batter...
My old work had lights that were A$20000
@quartz ether sure, you can make a lot of things yourself cheaper, for example I could make soap myself or toothpaste cheaper but its a cost vs convience thing, also your device would not be C-Tick Approved or legal in Australia for example. Not saying its a bad idea in any way, but its not a fair comparison. This comes from someone who does everything with Microcontrollers and never buys any products for home automation
@honest geode you will be very happy with that. Have a few. π
Bulbs are 100% certified in aus/nz. Some of the install stuff isnβt fire rated but more than meets requirement if you really wanted to pay.
@quartz ether they have C-Tick Approval Seriously? I can't find any references in the listing for the product
@tidal bronze With two small kids it's probably going to be a few more days before printing π
Interested by the bulb theme here.. I buy Hue bulbs because they 'just work' but they are expensive. Anyone tried any of the bulbs from banggood with HA? Or any others which work and are available in EU?
milights work just fine as TehRobot mentioned, but require a hub that you can and should diy for a few euros
Yeelight is okay as well for the bit brighter bulbs (10W instead of 6W)
Personally I use the IKEA smart lights and those work well for me.
That's an option as well but they are a lot more expensive as well, at least here
Yeah, I only use hue in the bedroom because they are dimmer, everything else is yeelight, tradfri or milight
the milights have a "night mode" as well if you need dim lights, but you it's a mode and not a brightness percentage unfortunately. Yeelight's minimum brightness is pretty high.
IKEA min bright isn't too bad. Helps if you pick the right colour
At least for night, it wasn't too bright
Yeah, ain't too bad, but hue is still 10 lower ish @lucid citrus
Ah.
Atleast for the E14 mignon bulbs
can you use RGB and W at the same time on Ikea/Hue/Yeelight?
I only have 4 RGB bulbs so I don't know
with the milight RGBW it turns off the W when you change to color. Probably limited power/cooling
with the led strips you can use both at the same time so it's not the standard that's limiting it
IKEA, make sure you check. RGB bulbs exist but are specific, most common is a white spectrum kind of thing. Idk how the RGB ikea bulbs are like, they're not in my format.
I use GU10 bulbs
I had a RGB from IKEA in my living room, but after I removed the tradfri hub the colours weren't right
So I replaced it with a CT bulb
Interesting
I really like the RGBCCT light that I just got. So much so, that I'm annoyed with my RGBWW now...
How much cheaper are these alternatives though? Hue white bulbs (for areas which don't need colour), are only about Β£12-Β£15 each. The colour ones though are usually Β£30 a bulb.
Milights are like 6-8$ per bulb?
Ikea can be 6 GBP
Oh. That's quite a saving!
I pay Β£8-10 for tradfri in Norway
depends on the type ofc, the brighter ones are quite expensive actually for some reason
Yea. I'm quite new to the space but I'm happy with IKEA
Oh wow.. that looks good! I've got SO many spotlights in the kitchen that I was going to replace the switch instead of the bulbs because it was going to cost so much.
switch might still make more sense unless you want RGB
Are Tradfri the one's which you make a controller for?
TrΓ₯dfri is #zigbee-archived
Never know when you may want a party in the kitchen π
I've yet to look at Zigbee.. so something to put on the list, might pick up a few bulbs and try it out.
So you can use a dimmer control, as a purely independent system. But you can use IKEA gateway to connect to home assistant, ikeas own apps, or Google home.
Love the idea of Β£6 spotlights!
Yeah, don't use the tradfri gateway
This is great π
Use the hue gateway or another #zigbee-archived option
Oh, you can connect the IKEA ones to Hue Hub?
Yes, both are #zigbee-archived
You should also look at led strips. As long as you don't go overboard with them they can be pretty nice too
With the bulbs, make sure you get the right one.
Some are white dimmable, some are have preselected colours in the white to red dimmable space, some are RGB iirc.
Brb, might as well find the term to describe that color space.
Yeah make sure you understand what the temperatures mean, what's the difference between terms like CCT, RGB, RGBW, RGBCCT etc before putting too much money into something
I've got the Hue strips, they're great.
Looks like the bulbs at IKEA, with the colours etc are a very similar price to Hue.
"LED bulb E27 600 lumen, wireless dimmable, colour and white spectrum opal white"
Β£22
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32968889040.html This seller has the FUT014 for really low price (mistake probably but I got what I ordered). 8$ for a RGBCCT is very cheap if 6W is enough
Ooh, they look good. And it says they do a bayonet fitting too.
they'll need a hub though: https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub
though as a bonus you can use the hub to integrate their remotes to work with HA as well https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub/wiki/Using-Milight-Remote-with-HomeAssistant
Great, thanks. I'll take a look.
Farily new to discord ... how do you quote reply?
There is no quote feature in discord afaik, but you can copy paste text and format it
There appears to be block quoting
there's also a way to link to messages but that's only for admins I think

Because python is way too god dam bloated
Great my Ingress for '/' still redirects to nodeport and reaches nothing then... probably cached within Kube somewhere
I gave up on everything redhat-related.
and it gave up on everything garbled-related so there!
it probably did
i've only ever used debian server or raspbian lite
Being an Admin actually forces you to use Redhat or CentOS
All companies I were yet used these 2
I use Centos and Redhat at work as that's what's here. Prefer Debian and it's derivatives at home.
Main reason for RedHat and it's derivatives being used is that a lot of enterprise software only supported RedHat at one point. All the other options were run by dirty hippies who didn't deserve the majesty of such amazing software!
What do you guys use for voice interaction and/or audible alerts from HA? Is it worth looking into open sources things like snips & mycroft, or is it smoother to integrate Alexa or Google Home?
We use windows and redhat at work, redhat is good because they have support and you can get help and or point fingers when something breaks
I run ubuntu, I don't see why anyone runs debian, its outdated crap.
have you ever tried USING the redhat support?
it's "not great"
it's mostly only useful for "the buck stops here" kind of stuff
a few times
not sayin its great, but it is one reason many corps use it
you can't really say well, we can go post in this forum if we have an issue and maybe someone will help
false sense of seurity
its better than begging people in an open source forum lol
you'd often times have faster response doing that though π
well, see how far that gets you in board meetings and what not lol
@last dirge I've dealt with RedHat support on some odd Kernel issues, mostly to do with SDN, and they have some really good people in there.
@strange vapor it's like any support really
you've gotta fight through the shitty people to get someone useful
It's getting past the first layer of redshirts
if you've got a good escalation channel established, you're good to go
redhat support is about the same as most other support. good for "feel good a the C level"
once in a great while they will come though, often they make you wade through months of nonsense
yeah
I hate redhat for entirely different reasons. π
Board meetings π€’
like recently, Ansible Tower. 3.6 only works on postgres 10. So I ask, can I host a 3.5 tower on postgres 10. Answer? "We don't test anything other than 1 config, so dunno, good luck!"
Or meetings with executives who have no technical interests or knowledge
great. so your answer is wing it and have fun with the upgrade. thx.
Ye old middle finger support @proper swift
right. they mandate an upgrade, but give you no path to get there
or like openshift 4.1. it doesn't run on redhat. really? really redhat? your own stuff won't run on your own stuff?
and I refuse to discuss the abomination that is Satellite 6.
so Just run AWX. There is no support anyway
I actually have to do that right now
I wish. I really wish. but oracle doesn't support ubuntu, so, sigh. also. bonus. oracle doesn't support redhat 8, so double sigh.
ok, back to editing my rack. π
@proper swift Just run Oracle's own unbreakable Linux!!
You know, the rebranded Centos....
Oracle preferably only supports oracle, unless you want to pay 1.5x for running whatever it is on another hardware platform
oracle db doesn't support oracle linux 8. have fun with that.
Quite breakable Linux you say?
Didn't Huawei just did the same thing?
Luckily, I work in a company where if Oracle software is mentioned as a solution to a problem, the unfortunately person suggesting it will be defenestrated!
https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/ Seeing as Huawei was mentioned.
did you know that oracle linux runs 4x faster for oracle workloads than redhat? how? magic!
They probably throttle performance on Itanium and others too ;)
From what I've heard, even internally it's a dog eat dog world. A friend of mine joined their Oracle Cloud team, and it sounds like internally there's multiple Oracle Cloud teams competing against each other to get changes in.
They just killed a few big projects too, one storage one I think
people are jumping ship on their DB because of their greed
I think Amazon's fully off of Oracle now
they still offer it as a DB engine for clients but none of their infra is on it
AWS did a great post on moving from Oracle. They basically retrained all their Oracle DBAs on migration from Oracle to AWS offerings.
and Amazon's taken up supporting/developing OpenJDK
they finished that earlier than expected
I think they were targeting the end of the year
ugh.. ok.. got everything de-racked. now to move the rails and start re-racking all my eq
I wish postgres had decent clustering.
I wish everything was AI like clustering
no
Now to find some lunch in Atlanta 
anything you haven't had yet?
lol
Would love some signatue Georgia dishes
is that a thing?
isn't baked mac and cheese a georgia thing?
I thought biscuits and cream was a Georgia thing
chicken and waffles?
might be too. also chicken fried steak. dunno if chicken and waffles is georgia or not
might be
Zimmern always delivers
chicken and waffles is fun if you haven't had it
@forest edge alright here we go... got a few hours of sleep, time to put some paste on this bad boy
I went with a local bbq place, all the famous places were a bit of a walk, and it's freezing cold
not sure this paste is going to do much, the shield above it doesn't really get close enough to the chips
@proper swift he could go to Glady's Knight's Chicken and Waffles (unless it closed down)
ever been to a tiki bar?
They are shut down btw
:/
I've been to two tiki bars, one in Norway and one in the UK
were they Trader Vic's?
No π
they're all over the planet, that's why I asked π
that's a cool spot
you could go there on the weekend for dinner if you wanted
and walk around downtown
or if you do the Coke Museum during the day go there at night
you like Mexican food?
there's a little hole in the wall in Alpharetta called "El Trompo" that's really really good
Ugh. I wish I did like it seeing as it's on seemingly everything
Again though, I like pizza so I guess I sort of like mozzarella
@clear ferry do you speak any chinese?
I don't know if it is a Georgia thing or if it is a us thing, but all fountain sprite tastes so much lemon that it almost tastes chlorine
if so that unlocks a massive amount of restaurants π
@last dirge no, only some Japanese
ah
I stay away from tonal languages
Do you know of any guitar shops or pawn shops with musical instruments though @last dirge ?
what are you looking for?
I'm interested in most things, old stuff mostly
Yeah, that could be interesting if they have some good discounts too
it's a national chain
pawn shops around here are more likely to have electronics and guns

rofl
just being honest
The Lyft driver I had to Atlanta was the first person here I've heard with an accent
atlanta is a bit more mixed
but you're in a mostly no-accent zone
major cities are less likely to have accents (NYC being the exception)
atlanta is mostly homeless and crack heads
According to most people I meet who speak English I have a non descript English accent
esp downtown
heh
i do NOT miss going to ATL one bit... except for this one place we got chicken and waffles... so damn good
That's a big difference with homeless people in the us versus Europe
They aren't intrusive
Accents are often fungible. Depending on who I'm speaking with I have an accent you couldn't cut with a chainsaw, "proper" English, or something in between.
i've moved around the US enough that i don't have anything super specific
definitely "american" but nothing regional under that
I have somewhat of a sociolect, if I talk to Irish people i tend to be more Irish, if i talk to British people I tend to be more British and American... I kinda sound feminine tbh
My father is like that. You know where he is and who he's talking to by his accent.
was in upstate newyork for a bit and started picking some of that up
Picks up any accent and way of speaking in minutes, which can be exceedingly unfortunate...
@wet pilot foggetaboooutit
haha, that's not upstate
@clever mortar can you hide scoooooootish ? π
If you are into chicken wings you will definitely find some in Georgia.
@wet pilot I have family in new Jersey, that moved upstate, so it is all I know π
heh
I can't hide it but when I'm being nice to non-UK folks, my accent is soft enough it's not intrusive π
I've been told by people from all over I have no discernable accent other than "American"
and I've lived in GA my whole life
heh
Like Danish people, there is no Danish person that could ever fool me into thinking they weren't Danish or another nationality when speaking English, they have very strong accents
that's an achievement then
I grew up in Savannah and I had a HORRIBLE drawl
then I moved to metro Atlanta and I guess it just went away
Savannah accent is all I think about when I think South
that was a pretty major culture shock
@clear ferry my mom's definitely got that accent
born in tx, but lived in ohio, louisiana, utah, northern va, rochester, ny, and charlotte NC
all over the place which just resulted in "american" accent
@clear ferry I'm not in the south son
But my dialect absorption is probably why noone in Norway can guess my hometown either 
@scenic radish but you still sounds like an old lady π
@scenic radish don't ya know
@steel urchin well did it burn up instantly? lol
not yet
bless your heart

Apparently I have a pretty good Irish accent after living there for a year
@strange vapor will probably deny that if he heard me speak
@clear ferry Probably!

you find a red robin yet? @clear ferry
@clear ferry Just once it's not a Hollywood Oirish accent...
boo
@strange vapor no, I'm more proper than that π

Soundtrack from the Breakfast Club. Enjoy
yea i was born before the 80's lol
bla... I hate nat
I have to use https://github.com/osixia/docker-keepalived
freaking hate nat soo much
It's funny how the 80s don't seem nearly as shit in retrospect as they did when I was a kid (90s) and I actually enjoy the late 80s retro movement in entertainment
yea 80's was decent. movie as a whole were way more creative and not regurgitated crap like we have to suffer through now
and we had drive inns
where you could drink beer and bbq
kids today miss out on so much
sitting at home playing with HA lol
looks at @scenic radish
hmmm swarm or kube on arm
I'll disagree with the movies part about 80s but in retrospect it did have some charm like any other decade did it seems. The movies were mostly god awful remakes though, weren't they - just like nowadays?
some were, remade from like black and white
but like movies like Clash of the Titans
Genius which is what reminded me i hadn't heard that song I posted above in awhile was from
there were far more original movies then remakes
@forest edge bitch I'm grown
big boi?
Lol
Not sure if that's true. But I watch very few popular movies these days. Movie critics seemed to find that 2019 was probably the best year for movies since 1999 or so. I need to catch up to see if that's actually true or no though...
I watched Once Upon a Time In Hollywood today and it was okay... I just can't get over the problems I have with Tarantino...
well 1999 came after the 80's so..
I remember on Halloween when they had like all these millennials give reactions to older thriller movies like Jason movies ect. It was kind of funny
was some show
okay boomer π€

see how rude they are
still going
it's funny how it's just a repackaged version of this https://dahuawiki.com/Doorbell/DB11
it looks better at least
the firmware should work on these
so if yours start to crap out, try and load the dahua one on it lol
amcrest gets the firmware it uses from them, it's not like they make it. dahua just slaps amcrest imagery and what not on it and presto
kciooq seems to have poofed. wonder if his config was messed up lol
||ββ©β(β£_β’)ββ©β||
also that amcrest integration doesn't work because of that 500 error... so honestly this camera kinda sucks... but it feels less warm to the touch than before... but now i'm sitting here wondering what it'll be like when it's 110F out
the amcrest integration just broke cause of the update
not cause of anything else i thought
but if your planning on recording the video, you wouldn't use the intergration anyways
unless you wanted that binary for the doorbell push or whatever
the response from the doorbell is an HTTP 500 error
did you cut it off from the internet?
no
I haven't even looked at the integration so i don't know but someone will fix it i'm sure since amcrest is apparently sending a free one of these to every damn youtuber out there
they are flooding the shit with it
that package that drives that integration is still being actively worked on @steel urchin unlike other things, it will likely work again
but then with your narrow ass hallway for a front door maybe the fishbowl nelly might be a better choice. no idea lol
I don't like the fishbowl crap, i think it makes it harder to see stuff
yeah i'm not worried about the integration entirely since I have motioneye going already... i asked for guidance in HA chan, while i continue to research
Quick question, I am interested in automating my lights with motion/lux sensors but I'm worried about them turning off when I'm reading or doing work at my desk. I don't think that I'm completely still during these tasks but it might not be enough movement for the sensor to pick up.
There are ways to handle that. Off topic in this channel though

Don't talk about yourself like that 
Yo. Today was succeed day

Aw crap.
now i'm off to go watch avenue 5 on hbo, hopefully it isn't trash
ok something is jacked up with my computer... 10 minutes after a reboot it says i'm using 10 gigs of RAM
if you add up everything in task manager it adds up to like 3 gigs
are you running hyper-v?
Or is it fastcaching stuff
Should be easy to see from the memory screen in task manager

Hmm
Maybe one hour if I'm lucky of baby sleeping
What to do in that time π€·ββοΈ
Try to get traefik oauth working, work on my k8s cluster, learn some javascript
sleep?
Ha. Ha ha ha. Sleep
@hushed basalt while I'm away the baby sleeps like a stone
ON MY SIDE OF THE BED
π€£
poor atx
@steel urchin well is the camera still ticking?
should have been swapping on and off bw mode for a bit now like mad lol
good as in it's still streaming or good as in you haven't noticed it switching back and forth from bw to color?
or both lol
Both, I've had it up in multiple locations
good then maybe the paste is doing the trick
my replacement is supposedly suppose to be here tomorrow
so may have it installed by wed
Took just a few minutes to get it going now that I've done it 4x now π€£
you shall refer to them by thier rightful name which is beast
holy smokes batman
I managed to understand and switch from apache proxypass to nginx in less than an hour
I would never have though that
I was expecting days of cockups

Nginx is soo easy
Yay... some one made a GlusterFS Volume Plugin
Now I can run HA in 3 nodes with good enough availably
Jealous
so.. i just went into the IP config tool to peek around, noticed at night it's impossible to see anything (i recall the last one being able to see pretty well? or am I making that up?) Anyway, clicked on a few things and it went offline :S
Wow... And it's dead
literally didn't even change anything, and the tool caused it to fail somehow
jesus christ this thing is garbage... well, guess it's going back
hy. one short question. is hassos using multicore on raspberry pi?
@steel urchin leave it unplugged for the night then try it again in the morning.
dies on me when i went to try and change the be/color mode
so it's possible they rigged it to do that or something, i dunno
didn't do it till after i had updated the firmware
yeah that's what i was goign to do... there was literally no visibility
well i think you can change that in the app
I just didn't bother to look at the time
i looked but didn't see anything
yeah
was the image bw or color?
honestly it was hard to tell, it was so dark, but my guess was color
just unplug power from it and let it sit. when i did that it came back back and ran for like 2 days TILL i went into the config tool lol
yeah that's what i did, went into the config tool
but, i'm ripping it out i guess... annoying, and i'm tried of bending these damn wires
you may have to settle for the fish bowl nelly lol
well it's out of stock on amazon :S
i'm sure you could order from them directly
yeah but if THAT messes up i'm paying shipping on every one... at least with this i just drop it off and they deal with it
starting to think all these things are fragile snowflakes
I know, i can't believe how much turds they are
you could get the eufy and just use the local sdcard storage
and wait out till rtsp support
do you have info on that upcoming feature?
https://www.techhive.com/article/3446838/anker-unwraps-battery-powered-eufycam-2-security-camera-with-homekit-support.html I guess they are about to drop a eufy2
no idea how that will impact the current one and it's future firmware roll outs
battery powered? bleh
lol
there is no info on when it will support rtsp but they did say it will
usually companies don't make that claim without it coming out eventually
it also dosen't mean it won't be a turd when it does come out lol
it may be only 15fps max ect
bah this is crap, it could have been good
btw that nelly thing is sold under like 4 of 5 diffrent brands so you could still get it. just make sure it has DB2 in the name and not DB1
but they are all the same camera/hardware
some may have diffrent color faceplates ect
yeah i was kinda looking, didn't see any on amazon, just db1
I need to pick up ir heat gun so I can see if it's heat killing the doorbell or the firmware
if it's just buggy firmware then they may actually solve it but if it's just hardware failure then maybe thats why they are trying to push as many as they can lol
i think this was firmware
they seem to be well aware lol
the private device option is probably more stable
higher fps ect
but that would require like blue iris
motioneye cannot do that
i highly advise everyone not to change doorbell values with legacy amcrest apps. hahaha
dude specifically mention to what happend to me
bricked the second i touched the color/bw mode lol
yeah same... damnit... wondering if i should go for a 3rd and just leave it
say "no more tool opening"
I dunno, you may not be happy with it in the long run
you said you liked the app stuff, maybe the eufy ect would be better, safer
well right now i have no way to see through the other side of my door π€£ fuckers built the door with no peephole, and frosted glass
eh, i don't LIKE the app stuff
cause even tho you don't get rtsp ect with eufy atm you still get the remote app viewing ect
oh
i just liked the telecom aspect
I doubt amcrest will ever unlock this doorbell to support full local api, but then who knows
well i say amcrest but it isn't up to them, it really is daul that makes the firmware
my hope is because of the coverage this stupid thing is getting that someone will create a custom firmware for it like how they did with the wyze
sure will lose out on some features but pure local control and stability would be worth it lol
yup \o
I guess that's the pro of professional cameras
They're designed for local control from inception
I think amcrest saw a killer deal on a doorbell camera that wasn't selling well in china and decided to bulk buy and ship out
For those of you in Murica
How fast is amazon prime
Like if you order something at 12PM on a monday when would you expect to see it
2 day shipping, 1 day if the item is at a distribution center near you and the item qualifys for it
At the free shipping level with amazon prime
So when you say 2 days do you mean Wednesday
although that is not guaranteed. most crap has come in that time frame, but i've had crap take longer, and anything over seas you may as well forget about being anything under a week lol
yea 48 hours from when you click the purchase
If I order something on a Monday, it gets dispatched Tuesday and arrives usually Thursday
would be wed for us, but again not guaranteed
Its annoying that the dispatch is done the day after the order
Even if you order at like 1am monday
It will be dispatched Tuesday
I used a github action for the first time the other day
Not for anything remotely sensitive though
Interesting choice of ads for a blog
I didn't get that, there must not be 1000's of girls looking for me π¦
Remember when ads were hand placed
Webmasters would engage businesses to place ads on their site
And get their 200x50 images with hrefs to their site
cc debugger finally arrived today π here we gooo
Any HA representation in FOSDEM?
amazon prime is weird. It depends on where you are relative to the hubs. Usually they say "order by Xpm today to get it on Wed" on the page. But I've ordered stuff at like 3am and had it show up at 8pm same day.
A lot of other places will get it to us overnight
They dispatch and overnight the same day
From the other side of the country
But amazon has a fixed fulfilment price for venders and prime is a loss leader so they have less of an incentive I guess
Hi guys, First post so apologies in advance. Using new SolarEdge Integration. It appears that the StorageCurrentChargeLevel has been omitted. How can I verify and then (perhaps) rectify this issue?
is it possible to amplify a 315mhz signal from a garage door opener?
well It either needs to send about 400m which is quite impossible with 433/315 I guess...
or I place a powerlan / wifi receiver in my garage with the transmitter attached
all I do is kind of diy π

anime_wow_sound_effect.mp3
No no you're wonderful. You're slowly teaching me to not make you π€’
I get up at 5-6am every day if that Helps
why would that help
To MoTiVatE
BE HELPFUL DAMMIT
Plus I'm a good 13 hours ahead of atxbyea
damn, i'm so far behind
and will never be able to
I'm having a fly around on google maps
Say what you want about Russia, their capital has a lot of trees even far from the centre
We just bulldoze everyhing and put up seas of concrete and clay
with all the weird wildlife you guys have, it's probably for the better
Does Australia have any normal wildlife
So, where I'm working right now we have 33.000 assets in the datacenter
Nice little lab
jeez, these american keyboards are still taking time to get used to, the enter key destroys my typing when I have to use a '
decimal separator clearly
He has 33 assets and a Ted ain't one
my name's not even Ted π¦
at least we don't call you "Tedi"
significant digits tho
TEDDI, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY
holy crap, the threadripper CPUs are over 2 grand?
well not all of them
just the ones that cost more than $2000
the 64 core ones are just for... flogging something anyway
@valid halo then you won't like the 15-30k cpus I have in my garage
COUGHS violently
β²οΈ As of today, we have about eighteen years to go until the Y2038 problem occurs.
But the Y2038 problem will be giving us headaches long, long before 2038 arrives.
I'd like to tell you a story about this.
3224

atleast they were back in the day π€£
Old Itaniums are always nice to keep, just in case you need them
You should sell stuff to serverbuilts.net peeps
They love buying old power hungry gear for all those cores
Speaking of old redundant hardware
Wife went back to work after a year off
Got given a Lenovo T450s π€’
Wasted a good 8-16 hours dealing with IT and trying to get a new laptop, but they made her do a reimage "before issuing new laptops"
what's wrong with it?
It's just too old
Knowing corporate IT it's probably an i3 with 4GB of ram and a 250GB 5400rpm drive
And 5 year old cpu
With windows 10 plus layers of corporate IT management software, plus specialist software
We have a policy of replacing every 5 years, but I just say "LOSS OF PROFIT" and then I get a new one every three years
it's faster than my laptop with a quick search and I'm fine with mine π€·ββοΈ
I currently have a zbook G3 with 48GB and 8 cores, it's good but a bit heavy
But hey what's a few grand in lost productivity compared to trying to "save money" with a laptop worth $300 on the open market
so for short travel I usually do my chromebook
My surface laptop 3 15" is quite good
Not as light as my surface pro 12" that's for sure
But the screen real estate is super valuable
5 years is too long for hardware refreshes
it's free real estate
Free as in πΊ
yeah i feel like every 3 years would be more reasonable
then just combine all the old hardware into one supercomputer
If your employees are so ineffective that a 5 year old laptop isn't slowing them down
You need to do some improvements
or destroy it all office space style
THeSe ComPuteRs wOrK jUst FinE
setup of platform x is taking over 10 seconds
Local optimisation, global constriction
3 year hardware refresh here, but we're also a wfh org and employees buy their own equipment and keep it after the 3 years, $1500 for regular employees $3000 for IT workers iirc
It means cost accounting people try to "improve" efficiency in one area
And reduce global effectiveness
https://media.tenor.com/images/3f812694078827e0c495b7a692426275/tenor.gif
Whelp that was an accidental gif but I'll leave it
Buy their own gear as in they're given a lump sum?
a budget to expense, not lump sum, but yeah effectively
We don't care what you use, as long as it works for you.
So a dev gets like say $3k expense to get a laptop and they get to keep it if they stay 3 years, then they get a new work laptop?
yep
I guess the 20-25% resale value after that time is a cheap employee fringe benefit
realistically, I don't think we've ever made anyone ship back or pay for a laptop after leaving after 2 years or whatever
because no one wants your old crusty laptop, and since we're all work from home, shipping becomes a hassle
I worked with someone who used the company shipping account to send his eBay sales lol
I doubt he would ever get caught. Competence isn't a mainstay of large corporations
Work laptop is a Macbook Pro, but I purposely got a Dell XPS13 for home use.
Nothing wrong with the Macbook, it's a nice laptop and all that, but it's a bit of a trap. If you're using it as personal as well, which you can do, it means you're online even when home. People never close apps like Slack or Outlook etc.
A lot healthier to properly separate home and work!
Indeed
I have commucation windows
Even during work
People don't need 2 minute responses, plus it's impossible to do deep work
most of the slack channels with non-teammates in them are muted
any emails that are sent direct to me get forwarded to my PM and get no response from me
People who sent communications off frequently are usually disorganised and lazy
It's a great way to put a ball in someone elses court, and be "busy"
teams is actually pretty good, been trying to force people to use it for over 6 months now
Rather than spending the time and organisational skills to figure out what you need from someone
it's slow adopting ....
Is that Microsoft
yaaaas
my company has both
I'm not a fan of slack
It feels like a really bad web IRC client
that's what it started as
And it's like a big hassle to move between orgs
Like discord is a lot better at that
Even if they analyse all text, video and calls :β¬
teams is very easy to move between orgs
I do it with two clicks
I'm part of 2 different companies
teams is a resource hog
teams is so friggin glitchy
pff, my teams uses 110MB RAM and 0% CPU, and I'm part of 5 teams in each org π€£
i don't even have storage media, i just use RAM for all my storage
512 GB
way faster
i know, and it actually blows my mind
I think we do 512GB modules, so you can have a few TB per server
But can it play Crysis
NVMe is pretty damn close to persistent memory
Gone insane, got no NULL POINTER EXCEPTION
CD-R
OK BOOMER
You gotta put LTO1-8 on there too then
tape
LTO π€’
zip drive
I hate tape
I had some weird storage thing, I don't remember what it was
it was a competitor to zip drives
had translucent blue disks
If 8 of them can't be plugged into a normal computer and have everything pulled off them with no intervention I'm not interested in that storage medium
I never touched that, I used zipdisk for a while
I have a Iomega Jazz drive hooked up to an old Akai S5000 sampler at home.
