be cool if it was an ongoing transmission of like the side of a mountain to see the fog roll in during the mornings and transitions into night ect. could see that as like a live picture to turn your tvv into ect

@scenic radish to be fair, when you don't know jack about something but you look at how the wiring is from a limited view.. it looks like the power goes into the hood then back out to the rest of the house so I would imagine there are TONS of people who have and will continue to do just what that person did lol

@forest edge im sure there are tons of people like me with pi4s with 4 GB of ram in a cluster

Hi All
I have an issue. After a crash of my SSD (yep) I rebuild my machine from scratch - restoring whatever I needed
(Running Hass.io ontop of Debian 10)
Now my partinioning is way off, as my var ran full (that contains all docker images of course).
Any way to get this fixed.
Planning in moving /home to / itself (possible) with Rsync, but I cannot get that installed as /var is full ..
Need to clean out the oldest images, but I'm not familiar wit Docker and cleanup older images
midnight adder
docker cannot start so...
and isn't it dangerous, as the images aren't running
-a parameter is a must I believe
hushed basalt
Perhaps, but I usually consider docker images and volumes disposable
Should have some sort of persistent storage for docker volumes
You can just delete all the images and then pull them again
midnight adder
default partioning scheme doesn't take into account docker use, hence the reason why it got flooded in the 1st place
hushed basalt
I'm not sure where they're physically stored though

I worked a project for the UK Smart Metering contract, where the software was so poorly written that the whole platform needed a service restart if it dropped the log file handle.

Of course, it depends on the trip, some are actually fun (if hard work)

yeah they are quite big, but for me thats no issue 🙂

@urban steppe those plugs are rated for 15 amps. some washing machines and even dryers can use that much and more. you should check how much current your appliances pull on high load before using a smart plug with it

@clear ferry no idea what that converts to cu as. but here in the US most states require a 20amp breaker for a wash/dryer simply because the average has been 15amp for so long

For other things, less so
You can buy gas powered tumble dryers, but those thing are rare

I thought that was a thing for you
urban steppe
@forest edge I know, they're actually 13A according to the specs, but my dryer is 2100w max and has a 10A fuse so I should be good 🙂
urban steppe
any suggestions for an alternative?
forest edge
usually for washers and dryers you'll see people monitor the energy usuage by way of clamps
there are a ton of videos out there that show how to diy a setup that probably costs less than the tp plug itself
proper swift
a 20amp monitored PDU
clear ferry
I've never seen clamps irl
urban steppe
me neither
proper swift
there are a few that can pass 20amps, mostly for datacenter use, but they exist. twist-loc and all.
forest edge
alot of them are using a esp8266 or a pi or something with a cmpa around the main line just as it enters the appliance
urban steppe
gotcha, more reading to do 😄
forest edge
yea it's a safer alternative in my opinion
clear ferry
@proper swift 20a, gotta up those numbers , those are homelab numbers 😛
forest edge
no idea what a smart plug would do if you over drew from it
proper swift
I use a greeneye gem from brultech. It's a clamp style that goes on your breaker panel.
atx: well all I have at home is a homelab. 🙂
clear ferry
@forest edge the whole fuse for my washer and drier is 10a I think, so for me the 16a metering smart plugs should be fine
@proper swift yeah, we mostly do 32 or 63a in the dcs
forest edge
yea for you
proper swift
yah.. I know. but you can find 20a stuff on ebay, from smaller shops
clear ferry
forest edge
but if you have an appliance that's spec'd for liek 13amp like he stated. 10 years later that appliance could be tripping that plug easily
you always want to make sure your plug is rated for more than the maxium possible load
proper swift
and the 220v stuff is cheap on ebay, because most people want 120v
forest edge
220v 💀
110v 👅
forest edge
your lowest standard breaker is 10a right?
clear ferry
Yes
forest edge
hmm i wonder what 16amp at 220v feels like
cause 15amp at 120v is a joke
my house is all 20amp breakers and that's what I touch just fine here
I wouldn't touch anything higher lol

Alright. So basically I had to rent a modem/router combo from our ISP and I also have a personal router being used so we can have PiHole on our network. Unfortunately we have devices on both the rented network, and our personal one and moving them all to our personal network isn't an option right now.
Prior to renting, we had our own modem/router and so HA would use asuswrt to grab active devices. However, now that the router is getting its connection from the rented modem, SSH isn't working properly. Right now I have HA running via ethernet from our rented modem. I was curious if you knew how I could get it so I could SSH into the personal router again, or grab the devices off it somehow.
I know that sounds pretty jumbled so if you need clarification, let me know.
clever mortar
moving them all to our personal network isn't an option right now
Why?
That, or even more simply putting that ISP device into modem/bridge mode would be the simplest solution here
steel urchin
if you're talking wireless, just set your SSID to the name of the rented one and disable it
spark jungle
Couple reasons which aren't very good but nothing I can do about it. I have lazy roommates that don't want to have to reconfigure all their Google homes, reconnect to a different network, etc. We also have a large home so our modem/router combo provides network in the basement for those that live down there. We then have a single ethernet cable ran to upstairs into our router for the people living upstairs.
It's an Xfinity modem, not sure if I can disable the wireless on it
clever mortar
Run a separate AP
steel urchin
i've seen ISPs limit a lot, but disabling wireless has never been one of them
spark jungle
oh lmao
clever mortar
Amazing what you can find with Google and three seconds
spark jungle
Okay I get that. But that doesn't solve the issue of having two separate networks for the basement and upstairs. If we disable the WiFi on the basement one, then the people living down there won't have very good connection. I guess we'd have to get another personal router for downstairs if we went that route.
clever mortar
Separate access point

Most routers can be put into access point mode
Heck, your current one will likely support that

Yes
I think CNN was interviewing someone from the NTSB and based on the flight pattern it seemed like they had mechanics issues.
Of course there will be a lot of pressure on the NTSB to find out exactly what happened.
They were in a Sikorsky S76
