That is before I drink
Features included in the Atlas are the VW Digital Cockpit, an available 96.8 cubic feet (2.74 m3) of rear cargo space, seventeen total cup holders,
17
That car sounds like the exact opposite of the renault Twizzy
which was an E-car with no windows and waterproof interior

is it hysteria to buy mask? in New Jersey/NYC
Buy mask?
coronavirus lol
surgical mask, in fear of the outbreak
It's airborne via droplets
so unless someone is coughing in your face with it. you're FINE>
The US has literally a handful of cases that are all isolated/known
Personally I feel it's panicky to buy one at this stage.
the incubation period can be up to 2 weeks
if it helps you feel at ease. I'd say go for it.
If @valid halo feels it's panicky, it's panicky
we're all gonna die! https://www.caida.org/research/security/code-red/newframes-small-log.gif
He's a doctor after all
I'd like to stress that I'm not a medical doctor at this time.
Just a obgyn?
Nah. it's just a nickname from when I was video game modding 😛
I used to buy returned Xboxes and mod them
There was a rule that any returned Xbox was to be destroyed and not resold at some point, so I bought them in the dark from a guy a knew who worked at an electronic store
Then modded them with chips so you could play downloaded games
And resold them
Must have been 2004
I was a real scrub
I got it from doing basic console commands at a cyber cafe. so you could throw destroyed cars in Half Life 2 Death match
People had a lot of fun and started calling me doctor mod
i was thinking there was a youtube channel fo a guy who did console mods with the name like doctor mod
people paid him to do the ods on all kind of consoles and he just filmed the process
Ah.
I forgot, my teeth hurt when I'm drunk and chewing on stuff
Gotta eat that Snickers though
You're not you when you're hungry
chewing on stuff? maybe what you chew on is what makes your teeth hurt cause alcohol numbs the senses, not enhances them lol
pull the fork out of your mouth..

You wouldn't
mods be droping like flies from the server! time to break the rules!
4️⃣ ✈️

digiblurDIY is giving away stuff people have just donated to him on live stream right now lol
Lolwut
used google mini going up for giveaway right now
no box
oh the sonoff camera
this is kind of neat https://amzn.to/30T7lGO
there's something not right with our witholdings i think. but then, our tax system is fucked anyway
Well, I can agree on the last part
gotta love taxes
Probably one of the best live blues albums
vw atlas?
Yeah
Which is strange since the i4 has over 200hp
lol that was a rebadged porsche though
largely hand-built too iirc
didn't sell terribly well here because it was too 'spensive
VW is bastardizing the hell out of their MQB platform and put that damn 2.0T in literally everything
the Audi A and Q cars use that engine too
Yeah, I looked at a touareg last i bought a car, but wanted something newer
As it would be the wife car
So went with a Tiguan
previous gen Tiguan was decent
But now she complains about the space 😂
new one got bloated
Yeah we have a '14
they shove a 3rd row in the Tiguan these days
poor thing
rented one once
it was fine
That is only the allspace one over at us
i liked my Mazda CX-5 better
but then, i havethe one with the 2.5T and at a higher trim, so it wasn't really a fair comparison
Touareg / cayenne / XC90 would be my choices if I had to go SUV
Touraeg is gone
But not the hybrid ones
Cayenne is nice but needs a refresh
Lose too much space
apparently the trans in the XC90 isn't great
Nah, touareg lives on in Europe afaik, but you only have the atlas
or the software in the trans at least
lol fracking VAG
they keep all the good stuff over there
i'd totally pick up a polo GTI
😂
Polo 🤢
they just don't want to spend the money because the average american driver is dumb as hell
they're finally giving us the RS6 Avant but they're probably going to pull it again due to lack of sales (too fucking expensive)
I've done a few polo rentals over the years, never liked them
the GTI though 😛
RS6 is nice
Doesn't matter if the engine in the polo is nice if the car feels like a condom 
heh
Golf minimum
was hoping they'd do the Golf R420 that they were teasing
Golf R with the RS3 drivetrain
eh, the golf R already is anyway
If I could choose one car to own factory new, I'd go Audi V8
That is smooth
Probably one of the nicest cars ever
R8?
oh, A8 then?
No, because the handling is shit, because you only get it in the reinforced model afaik
or the VW Phaeton with the same engine
That weighs 3x the base model 
Phaeton would be acceptable, but I'd take the V8 over the Phaeton
Because the Phaeton had a ton of issues
those are Arab dictator transport cars. amercians don't drive those lol
those things were massivve gas hogs too if i recall
didn't really matter in the 90s
true, burning gas was a fashion statement
Probably still used less gas than a normal muuuuurica car 
people were starting to go hard on Honda and Toyota around there, so probably not
v8s were trending down in cars at least
still ain't worth a piss for anything other than transporting flesh lol
though ford is pushing a 1.0L 3-banger these days
eh, i'm a fan of well tuned turbo 4s
soon it will be nothing but electric and diesel on the road lol
eh, diesel is dead in the US
oh no
unless its in a truck
well yea dead for cars, has been
especially dead after Dieselgate
lol
the fuel is more expensive here
Noticed
kind of ironic that we go full swing into producing our own oil just as the trend has us getting off gasoline lol
i mean for LP and such it's still good i suppose
but just weird
like we set ourselves up to overpay for everything
no one has ever accused the USGov of being intelligent
we need something to price gouge another country or something to offset our decades of off balance lol
things were kinda sorta trending in the right direction but that's all gone now 😄
watched this thing about the intellectual property wars between us and china and throughout the whole thing you could just hear the undertones about how our own laws being so fair regardless if you live in this country or not set us up to be taken advantage of and like the Chinese are protected by their own system so it's inevitable that they would cost us billions every year using our own system against us lol
some of it, though there is a lot of outright corporate espionage though
and china doesn't give a rats ass if you complain
and they are very good at tearing things down to attempt to reverse engineer it
they promote it
they're not good at reproducing what they've torn down, but the are getting closer
like what happend with segway
they still super suck at turbine engines
the china off brand outsold segway, segway sued, lost the the knock off company bought out segway lmao
yup
thats just crazy
china is trying to build its own airliner but had to team up with RUS to get engines for it. they got cut out from GE and couldn't do it on their own
'course, that engine partnership isn't going well either
china knock off airliner parts makes me not want to board a plane
while they could put the pieces together, their materials science is non-existent
give them alittle longer
not sure they can match the quality of steel either come to think of it
I think i read something about that
and it's not that they don't know how
yea the Comac C919
we'll see what happens. its not like boeing is doing that hot right now 😛
though the 777X had its first flight this weekend
lol
can't seem to find a break down on their metallurgy that makes their steel on average 3x less strong than ours
but did run across an article about a scare of some building sheld up by chinese steel that are already breaking apart. thats scary
it is said that japanese steel isn't great either, that's why they used folded steel swords
"chineesium"
poor alloys
I don't know shit about metallurgy aside from there has to be ingredients and so forth that adds to the strength but if i remember right it has to do with something they don't have plentyful access to unlike us that weakens it
so they may get planes in the air and they may one day fold in half mid flight
yup
especially since modern aircraft is moving away from steel wherever they can
they get into even more complex metals / composites that are even harder to replicate without understanding
A380 and 787 have 3D printed parts
carbon fiber aircraft
carbon fibre is definitely coming in to play too
titanium, didn't they find new ways of making that stretch further?
yea i knew the outside was aluminum but always thought the internal frame was steel
largely, but less and less for each new design
I try and avoid planes so looking them up was never high on any list lol
Codex going all fancy
neat
@steel urchin going for that Ferrari look?
you know it
it's surprisingly easy to get up and running once you get the hang of it
this on a tablet?
not yet, but will be
I like the wall mounted stuff they make for tablets, that make them look more integrated into the wall but they never show just how much of the wall you have to destroy to make it work lol
its just drywall
right now i have an iqpanel 2 mounted to the wall, figured i'd just replace it
and usually just a hole about the size of the insert
get a recessed outlet box for like a home-theater setup and then you mount the tablet over-top
I kind of like the idea of this https://www.amazon.com/Installation-Damage-Free-Display-Interface-Security/dp/B081PB7R5N
plenty of room behind for the power brick and cables
huh
would work if you have a single switch somewhere
I got like the perfect spot to hang like a touchscreen monitor but the problem is that it's part of the cabinet that shrouds the refrigerator and i really don't want to drill anything into it and i don't trust any command strip in the world to hold the monitor indefinitely lol
I have a few of these from a former gig: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops/ideacentre/b-series/b540/
A 23" all-in-one touchscreen desktop, the IdeaCentre B540 packs powerful processing and graphics into a sleek, space-saving design.
since i have a bunch of spare 250gb ssd's, might toss them in a few and strategically place them
must be nice lol
I have done so much web design crap over the past decades that sprucing up my ha dashboard should be easy but I just don't want to deal with lol
aside from dark mode and abusing the crap out of the buttons card my crap is plain jane lol
posted in wrong channel
not clunky for displaying a kiosk lol
if you don't care about them them you could remove them from thier housing to make them flatter if thats what your talking about
i mean it's a 23" display with a computer in it, the bezel is pretty huge
well what most people do is just create a wooden frame for it. even if you didn't want to do that yourself it would be relatively cheap to pay someone to make something out of oak or whatever for it
eh i have a ton of woodworking tools i could put to use... it's just another thing on the list
as with everything else lol
it has vesa mounting support.. might could get a light wall mount
if that look is ok for you
should I get the unifi ac pro or the HD? is there a big difference for a two person houseehold?
you may wanna re-ask that question around 8-12 hours from now when more people who have experience with those would be around to respond.
what do people use for more advanced automations with multiple if's? python scripts? nodeRed? anything else?
I use the Nanohd and im quite happy with. There are many threads in the internet comparing the Pro vs the NanoHD tho
The NanoHD is definitely a bit more up to date regarding speeds, but I think the Pro suits better if you have to serve a few hundred 2.4g clients
@dusky plank
thx @boreal pewter I went with the nano too
UK dialects can mean that it's hard to understand somebody who only lives 50 miles away...
@clever mortar - LOL, very true
Tinkerer is away for 14h 8m with a message :point_right: If you must blink, do it now.
I have to ask... but is there a substantial difference between using a Rp3b+ and a RP4 with hassio?
Yes
how so?
Performance
It's like comparing a fiat500 base model and a vw Caravelle with a hefty engine
You'll get a lot more in there
And itll behave better
yeh. ... i've kinda found it's not been really behaving well
just seems like a lot of money to spend
Any old laptop from the last 10+ years will be an upgrade in performance too
it also depends on the performance needs. While Pi4 will be a lot faster it doesn't really matter when it's just turning on an off some lights, it'll just reboot faster
I just get a lot of timeout errors with things like WEMO deivces and the unifi controller
It's a kind of boat, isn't it?
Yup, one of the many things I've learned from playing computer games
Europa Universalis IV for me
Never even heard of 👀
Oh newer game
I don't think I've played a new PC game in 10-15 years
@clear ferry how's madden 09?
WHO KNOWS, IT'S NTSC
lol

never the same color
do you guys even have A19 light bulbs in norwat or is that useless for you too?
nope, that would be silly
😡
y u no metric

sonoff-abitch, it might be true, I don't use any sonoffs 🤔
I thought that was funny too
You said sonoff and you didn't even notice
And I have the proof right here so don't even try to edit it
inb4 ow my eyes
heck off

yeah, I said it
So I set up NGINX on my pi last night, further reducing my reliance on FORBIDDEN TOPIC addons
Cloudflare even provides free SSL certs, so I just have to install that on my pi and then I can drop let's encrypt
And I have NGINX return a "no response" error when accessed via IP address instead of domain name
@clear ferry the fact that it's NTSC isn't my problem, PAL
heh
@scenic radish who do you think cloudflare uses for those free certs?
They have their own CA don't they?
dunno. i just mean i can uninstall certbot
i don't have an issue with let's encrypt lol
@strange vapor looks like they have a root CA cert
but I don't know if it's part of the default truststore
looks like no
for Origin certs
which is the free one
@scenic radish Dreamhost uses Letsencrypt
they automagically apply it to my www domain
ooh neato. the cloudflare origin certs can be valid for up to 15 years
because they're not real certs 🙂
lol shit... forgot about the stop limit buy i had on Disney set up
Looks like the chain of trust on Cloudflare leads back to Baltimore
still provides end-to-end encryption
I have https://isthefirewallbroken.info/ behind Cloudflare just because I can.
🤣
Most informative site I run.
well.... fingers crossed this stock goes up lol... lot of change just dropped on this damn stock
well i hope so... between disney and tesla i just dropped a shit ton of money lol
or is that what triggered your buy?
no, i had a limit order set up a few months back i forgot about
haha
it just triggered today
you bought tesla north of 540?
541 the other day
yikes
I'm long at 197
nice... wish i had started stock shit way sooner

only calling through a phone line from 1984
with the mic inside their mouth
I usually just say I have no phone coverage in the DC, so we have to do chat over skype
that's why i love the deals we make... we ship an appliance with a manual, and the cloud provider then assumes responsibility... that'll be $15 billion please, and goodbye
apple tried making us support the software, and we reluctantly said ok after about 5 years of them threatening to leave us (although there's no one for them to go to)... we signed them up for a 5 year plan and they've yet to call us 🤣
they literally are paying for a support team to browse reddit every day
@last dirge did you use any pressure regulation with MP's
Copy. I might have to change some bodies 😦

@last dirge 30 psi bodies?
I don't remember offhand
What nozzles specifically did you use? 1000 or 2000?
whatever Lowe's had
I think they were 7-15 feet
my yard's small
I think my valves see street pressure
With these nozzles https://www.hunterindustries.com/mp-smarter-faster-better ?
Nice. Most of mine had to do get male threads https://www.dripdepot.com/item/hunter-1000-series-mp-rotator-thread-male-arc-degrees-90-210
LADWP is giving out 1-to-1 rebate so went to town at dripdepot 🙂
i should figure out what our system is comprised of
i know there's a lot of control valves for such a small yard
they isolated too many nozzles for no damn good reason
Same issue with mine. Too many damn nozzles. But with traditional spray coverage that was a requirement. I capped off many of them
at the pop-up or at the riser?
some at the riser. By next weekend I should finally done. 🙂
What's interesting is that rainmachine is not accounting for nozzle change. With 0.4 inch watering times should bump up. 🤔
nozzles you
the nozzle is calibrating

@scenic radish Ran honeyd on unallocated ip space at a previous job. Great for automagically tarpitting the inevitable bot trying to brute force accounts.
It doesn't seem to be maintained anymore though.
Ah that's too bad. Thanks for the tip though, I'll have to take a look
Right now I just have a cloudflare firewall rule blocking anyone outside the US, and using my WAN IP instead of domain returns error 444
Blocking outside ? most use cloud @scenic radish
More than half of what I encounter is AWS 😀
Wut u mean?
You said block ips outside US. Most don't use local international IP to do the hanky panky
Yep can't hurt.
configuring nginx is surprisingly simple, at least for what i was doing. took a little bit for me to figure out how to return error 444 when not using the domain without also blocking the domain, but that was about all the trouble i had
it can get hairy pretty quick depending on what you're trying to accomplish
this is a fun project if you ever are interested in auto gen the configs - https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy
yeah my current setup is pretty basic as well.. also just a bunch of subdomain proxy passes

there is no "00:00 AM"
I think he accidently left off seconds
or you mean in coding it would havve to be 00:00:01 to mean anything?
there is no zero hour in am/pm format 😉
@steel urchin you made backups of HA right?
There is only 1-12 in AM/PM
lies! i've seen the zero's! it's fast! they are not a myth!
zero hour

down side is those people who make those laws know jack shit about any part of a process a device does during it's connectivity life cycle and they rely on people who are paid by the companies that churn out this crap for education of how it works
I think it's the NCSC doing a lot of the security advice, they are actually quite decent
and this ensure all internet-enabled devices had a unique password is what they come up with?
lol
gotta at least change the root of the password
like sitename<strong password><different special character>
I have a little doohickey called a Mooltipass
it deals with all that stuff for me
if they would enforce a local option then at least that would be something, but merely skirting around the inherited inevitable flaws of being online isn't going to solve anything long term
too much work tbh. Thankfully Vivaldi added the cloud password thingy in it so now I just have to trust that they won't screw it up
I use 1Password for all my passwords
the local password inspector is gonna get a "I don't remember it" from me
I leave for 1 day and you guys go all nutter.
oh shit. I didn't think about this. you electric car drivers are fucking everyone else because you don't pay the gas tax lmao
I think they also create tons of pollution to create the electricity to charge the batteries, but think they are saving the environment.
@forest edge I pay a $250 fee at registration time to offset that
they have a system in place for that?
a few states do
was just watching a cnn thing about it, they made it osund like there was nothing in palce
I actually pay more with the Tesla than I did with my Fit
like 2x
CNN is based in Atlanta
which is in GA
which has an EV registration fee
so...
this was a documentary on the fedral state of road conditions
fedral as in talking about the whole country lol
made mention they may implement something to bring in more revenue from electric car drivers, wonder if that will stack with what you going on now. also talkign about raising the gas tax since it was last raised in 93
@rain swift there's a MASSIVE amount of CO2 created in the refinement, transport, storage, and distribution of gasoline that nobody takes into consideration when comparing CO2 output of ICE vehicles vs BEV
and electricity can be generated from any number of sources whereas gasoline is well, gasoline
@forest edge the real issue is the big trucks
if they really wanted to fix interstates they'd put more stuff on rail and get the big trucks off of the road
93... til infinity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXJc2NYwHjw
(otherwise I'd step into forbidden topics)
brian that will nevver happen
ever
infact they are investing billions on the trucking industry
ew they discussed tax on per mile driven
We have 50% tax on gas
And what really works for getting roads fixed is toll booths that go directly to that stretch of road
we americans don't like toll roads
mmm, i love the smell of missing the point in the evening
also a nation with a awful electicity grid setup
Eletric cars are kind of only really benifical to the enviroment in some european states. They are also only really bennifcal if the grid is backed by a low carbon source(for example france and nuclear) or you can choose to pay a company who invests in low carbon genration onto the national grid, like the a few in the UK
We do 95% hydro and wind, so electric cars make sense
yea cause one windmill powers 60% of your country right?

wait does norway use that wave hydro generator thingie?
I saw some vvideos on those. wasn't sure they were put into practice tho
the uk is mostly off coal, although, most is the brunt is now by gas its a bit ehhhhhhhh, there is also the cheating bio-mass where you can claim it is renewable by thowing a bit of wood in with the coal 
@forest edge we use a lot of power, I use 35k kWh per year
not sure what i use, it's been awhile since i looked it up
We havent had a year with our 2 gen meter so i dont know how much i use in a year
We only pay 1/9 of a dollar per kwh, and that price is about double of what it used to be
Also who ever came up with the idea in the UK to use zigbee for the 2nd gen smart meters was smart. The meter can be standard and the power company provides the display
the first gen ones where sim based and you had to have them replaced when you moved provider, now the providers just supply a zigbee display that then connects to them
the zigbee have something to do with the sheer amount of clustered buildings crammed together?
no
i think it just provided what they needed in a consistant standard, IIRC there is some feature of zigbee they use that means your bulbs cant join the meters network
everything we have here is proprietary. annoying as balls
I need to build the connection for my meter and forbidden soon

That'll work provided you don't need to touch it... seen worse than that in the theatre trade too!
@slim vortex just a little note while you're active, just wanted to say your channel has been an amazing source of help for me venturing into Hass on FreeNAS.. so much so I've just ordered my Pi3b+ to run Hass.io so I can actually follow along your tutorials 🙂
Thanks for all you've done, look forward to seeing the TWA future projects
You are stepping down hardware wise? 
Yeah.. I don't need the NAS, and I'm having massive issues with running the Tasmoadmin/mosquitto/hass jails and getting them all to talk properly.. plus I kinda overkilled the NAS, it's running a 6core AMD with 32GB DDR3 and 4x2TB hdd that are empty.. lol
I'd better not mention my 24core 192gb then 😂
Imagine pleasant nonsense
O
I did not know that though
I figured atx 🙂

I suppose I'm thinking of those who sub scribe to /r/bitcoin
Can you imagine being that guy that accidentally threw out a hard drive with his private key or whatever and basically lost $1MM+
sounds like they could afford to lose it
too much controversy and issues, last I heard companies that were supporting it pulled out
Lma0
I always wonder how the hell you cashout 1 million plus in bitcoin to uSD
He bought it when it was worth $100 or something lol
That's what always confused me. once you've got your digital billions. how do you cash out
@valid halo same way you would with anything else that isn't direct curriency
lol facebook version.. what did they call it?
Libra
facesit
Feel bad for all who sold when it tanked. What a wild ride as always.
Yup

Who loves knives
i need to work on my whetstone technique. Not as consistent angle as I would like
But definitely couldn't microslice a grape with the condition they were in previously
Anyone have any helpers/guides with their stones?
That’s not bad at all, I’ve only just started trying myself
What grit stones
I got some angle guides from amazon but I’m still trash
400/1000/6000
Ah nice, I just have one 1500 cause I wasn’t sure I’d stick at it
You got decent knives or just random shop knives?
I've got some globals
And one Victorinox
So mid range stuff
I have too many though
Got the global's when I was 18
Made the mistake of getting the sets
Which means it's basically one/two decent knives mixed with filler knives with garbage finishing
I've sharpened them though, but they don't hold very long
I just got my 600/1500 stone from Aliexpress and trying to learn
Also got a pretty decent knife from there as well. Mostly for the aesthetics, but it's also very sharp compared to what I'm used to
Hey guys, wondering if I can pick your brains 🧠. My friend has a baby who has choking fits through the night and can be scary, especially for his wife. He's said that by monitoring the baby's heart rate and oxygen level would help pre-empt these episodes. I told him about setting up a baby camera with a pi and webcam which worked pretty well. He's found a special sock monitor but it's £300 and can't afford it now. He mentioned special mats but if the baby rolls off, it can't register that.
I remember reading a few months ago that some parents had a child with severe, life-threatening illness where they'd have to restart their child's heart through the night which was draining for them but with a bit of DIY, they managed to get a system to help it's made a massive improvement. Any of that ring any bells? If not any ideas? I saw it's possible to get heartrate from camera but that would have to depend on the baby's face in view of the camera. Ideally non-contact would be great.
Victorinox is very hard to beat for value
But I have no idea what aliexpress stuff is like
For friends/family I recommend Victorinox as an absolute minimum
Victorinox was the other option I had, but ended up with the Chinese one for ~same price. Not sure how it compares, but it's sharper than my previous Fiskars (~20€) was
Kisty, you should probably ask in #diy-archived too
@orchid rose Wife loves the chubo
I just noticed I could activate a free 30day trial of Amazon prime, found some stuff I could order with free next day delivery 😂

What does everyone like for wireless ear pods these days? I refuse to buy the apple ear dicks.
Lmao
Don't buy aukey
A $40 pair died quickly (shouldn't be surprised for the price) and while they were nice enough to replace them with a $100 set, those also have started acting up within a couple of months lol
so i just setup transmission, radarr, sonarr, jackett, etc
