Mine isn't public
Never tried, but that would probably be sub par in performance
Then you should be fine

Last time I had performance issues with Plex, I ran it on a dl380g4 and it tried transcoding
That was no fun
I'm just playing with it right now - the media server is on my desktop
Which is about 5ish years old
i7 4770k
3770k? 😐
no 4770k
My Plex runs on a 10yo server with 15+ users, noone ever has performance issues
Dell r510 to be exact, 24 cores and 96gb ram right now, storage on 4x10tb drives and Plex on an SSD
Runs 6 more jails and my nas and FTP too
15+ users? I didn't know you lived in an orphanage
The number, not the age @forest edge 😛
All those users streaming across my internet connection too
well 10 streams of internet streaming isn't quite the same as 1 local
if i remember right, plex cuts that down to like 720p
netflix is 720p
it just gets upscaled
96GB of ram? wtf lol
does that server also heat your home?
Yes, I have 96gb more I just haven't stuffed in yet
Also anything less then 512gb is puny today
Intel has CPUs that support 4.5tb per socket now
you know overkill isn't actually efficient right? lol
@clear ferry So it looks like the files are "optimized for mobile" and I'm watching them on a TV - could that be the issue?
one day atx, that electric bill will show you the true path of the power conservative
Maybe he's loaded and doesn't care how much power he uses
What sound is made when you drop a nine-inch ice core—a sample of ice drilled from a glacier—down a 450-foot deep hole in Antarctica? Turns out it's something like a series of cartoon ricochets! https://abcn.ws/2HJ08Oh

Power here costs 0.014usd per kwh now 🤷
2 cents/kwh?
It was even cheaper
Also who states power in dollars :D use cente like the civilised world
That's basically free

Why do people even use heat pumps when they can just burn powah
It was 1.1c earlier
Some people pay closer to 40c here
Coming from generators fed by Australian coal and gas :D
How much is your income tax? Nothing is free.
Which is low in European standards
Okay first in going to get diplomatic immunity so I can bring all my guns, then I'm moving to Norway lol.
But I also earn 3x average 
Nice
norway is a bitch to livve in when you aren't from there
from everything i read
expensive, competitive and people aren't as open as we're use to here lol
Haha I was under the impression they were all super nice
they aren't rude, just aren't open like we are in general
That might be a good thing, hate people haha
every tourist article makes a comment about that
We are quite open 😛
your open in your own way lol
Expensive yes, but we earn 10x some nations 🤷 depends on what you compare it to
one thing i read said it was like 2k American to get your drivers license
i mean come on lol
Yes that is true, but a car is also 10x more here than in the us
Except electric vehicles
and that further proves my point
lol
and finding a job is harder
because you havve such a high percentage of educated citizens
Not really, if you have a talent you can have a job easily
How hard is it to find a job in America that can pay for your medical costs though :D
I guess between it being harder for norway companies to fire people they tend to hire for life long so that plays it's role
I have no higher education
plus you have to speak Norwegian for most companies even when everyone speaks english lol
Not true, I work with a lot of people who don't speak Norwegian
@hushed basalt you gotta be one fo the top 1% to actually say you can afford our medical heathcare lol
@clear ferry just stuff i read
I think if I moved to Norway I'd need to buy full spectrum lights for home
I have darker skin
I have spoken to you atx, you have no lower education either
was like over 30% of the population has high education
Then move to NZ the other half of the year
Year round temperate sun
Although NZ has big holes in the ozone. So too much UV
i'd live in NZ but it would have to be secluded and away from the locals lol
Most people I grew up with who have higher education work in supermarkets or get welfare
isnt the hole/s in the ozone layer mostly over antarctica now
Because they are dolts
:D
or because they couldn't find work anywhere else
job compettition is another thing frequently mentioned about norway
Higher education means nothing if they have trash degrees
Or they're dolts
have they tried having a tug on those bootstraps
Who learnt how to pass exams
Gender studies? Liberal arts? Good luck wit that.
you been working for the same thing for how long?
We have a lot of private school kids in Australia
12 now, but been working for 27 years
well there you go
how can you know about the job market when you secured a job before your "job market" even had a boom? lol
Norway sounds like new York, buncha yuppies
A lot of them go through private school their whole life, go to university for 4-6 years, never work or interact with the normal world, and then go work for deloitte or something
Or become politicians :D
That's what happens when college is free
Most of the people I see talk about politics shouldn't be voting.
Or cleaning toilets
@rain swift university is free too, except the $50 semester fee
So rich families get an easy ride while poor ones underperform due to working
Ours is very expensive now
Deregulated, but a lot of it is a visa farm
We briefly had free university under our best PM
Rich families get connections so they don't have to do well in college anyways lol
Universities lovvvveee their international students
It sounds like colleges went to trash sheet I got out anyways, I'll never go back
After*
who'd have thought running universities like a business could go bad
we need a revolution to straighten out our economy lol
there was no predicting that!
Plus cash for visas
I don't see any problem with running them like a business
like we need like a WWIII taken place on local soil
clear some trash, reorganize alittle lol
Why should I have to pay for idiots that get useless degrees and don't pay them back
Lets all boycott Norway's oil, bring them down to our level
Do they have oil?
we have our own oil now
Lol do they have oil
Watch out, America night bring you some freedom.
because they are only useless in your eyes and the cost of allowing them to do so is basically 0
It's their entire economy
No they are useless in the eyes of the free market
Nobody has to give you a job for anything
Let alone your gender studies degree nobody cares about
How do capitalists contribute to society?
start a Honduras immigrant boat taxi to Norway
😂😂😂
the older i get the more i almost rather just move to alaska and live in the middle of nowhere lol
have a month or 2 of the year to snowmobile to some trader shack for supplies lol
between solar and satellite i wouldn't even lose internet
Only issue there is as I get older, I wanna be near medical support. 😎
I wonder if I should just feed my daughter in the shower to save cleanup
I do the same thing
if your wife lets you get away with it
shower it is
@hushed basalt my degree is society and a minor in ancient history .... without any argument this guy reaaly explains society https://www.thersa.org/discover/videos/rsa-animate
I like the Adam Smith selling ice cream
Wait till they get older and the food goes more places than themselves. Like the refrigerator, microwave, and anything else they touch
You haven’t lived till you have had refrigerator door handle sex 🤣
Hahahaha
Does anyone here have a pool at home
I have a hottub, does that count?
I have a wheelbarrow that I forgot to tip over so its been collecting rain water
Yes, those count. You're even allowed to advertise those features as pools on a listing :D
Although you might need a pool fence Whiskerz :D
define "home"
Home is where the presence is
@ocean mirage I think if access to your backyard is only possible through compliant portals
Perhaps
damn
I'm pretty sure doors don't count
I can't for the life of me understand why projection tv's are still so popular
They need to open away from the pool, self closing and self latching at 1500mm or higher
As in rear projection?
as in ceiling mounted ect
So projectors?
Try getting a 4k 120" tv and tell me how much it costs
who the hell wants that large of a tv?
aside from the super rich
some of these install videos on youtube have these people putting in those size tv's where the couch is less than 20ft away.. just why?
some people want more
they want neck pain is what they want
nah its a good neck exercise looking about
they want arthritis at 30 years of age
100-120" isn't that big for a projector
Probably similar fov ratios to your cinema
lol no
Yes...?
probably bigger than I'd like but not horrible
thats not similiar fov to a movie theater
Depends where you sit I guess
I've got a 92" screen from ~2.4m away and it's far too small tbh
yea in that picture you'd be so far back you'd be in the parking lot lol
@orchid rose well thats because you ruined your eyes
has nothing to do with that
lol
if you have to move your head "at all" to see one side of the screen to the other than you got it wrong
it's really as simple as that
Sonoma just has the superior opinion okay
you shouldn't evven really have to move your eyes much
What is ideal to you then
well when i grew up 32" crts were considered top of the line
the future is now old man
Sonoma, you're just wrong and the fact that movie screens have been huge for a long time proves this
at some point, the screen is just too big for the space
movie screens are thier size for the reason to accomidate the amount of people viewing them
no
Rule of thumb is about 1 foot per 10-12" of diagonal screen
they are like over 90ft wide by over 30ft high lol
So 120" is 9-11 feet depending on preference
Which is a pretty typical living room setup
yea and if you look at the archive of that type of info you'll see that was changed to accomidate the sales of those size tv's lol
when 300" tv's come out, tell me what the preference is then
There's hard limits of what people can fit in their house
But 65" is no where near that
People also centre their vision on areas of interest on the screen
They don't stare at dead centre
There's a reason why most home theatre setups are around the 100-120" range
Especially with 4k becoming viable in projection now
I'm at 65" at 10' and it's too small
I'd happily go 100" - 120" if I could
get better glasses
If I buy a new TV it will likely be 65" but im really not fussed
Some people are happy watching 46" tvs mounted on top of mantle peices. But that's not the enthusiast market
Just like some people are happy with their iphone 4 and their 1998 camry
must be your eyes hey
yea if you like apple products there is something wrong with your eyes lol
It also depends on the content. News and stuff are created to be viewed on a small screen and can be pretty annoying on a huge screen. Movie s (and this includes modern TV shows) are made for big screen. Sports look much more enjoyable on large displays too.
That's what a home theatre is...
lmao
But 100" isn't oversized in a long livingroom
fine i'll accept the argument that some people are just messed up in the head. i mean those front seats at actual movie theaters do attract some.. looking straight up and all the way left and right to see anything appeals to those I guess
but dosen't make those people any less messed up in the head
ironic
imagine being so upset that people like bigger screens
everyone must conform to my preferences
I have a friend who used to claim that no one wants a TV larger than 40" when those were mainstream...
show the kids the speed racer movie and they all have to be hospitalized
trust me, if your young now, one day you'll understand
well actually, you kind of already are.. aren't you? lol
i'm sure a quick discord search would verify you being upset over something 😉
i mean maybe, unlikely on this server
but false equivalencies are not that fun anyway
but go off
no you're probably not mad
thats just an easy dig lol
getting worked up though, its not for you, telco tried to explain
still not for you
all good
need quad to chime in cause I bet he's got exactly what i'm talking about lol
he was born during the depression too? 😉
there he is lol
Effective viewing angle is 35 to 60 so the if 4k and above you can go big not going to hurt for movies. Everything else is a bit of a challenge since market is different. Most TV is made to make sense on 32" TVs
Just like compressed audio or most music nowadays made for $10 headphones not the other way around.
"most TV" is not worth watching anyway. Most good stuff is made the same way as movies nowadays
Not really, unfortunately.
that's cause these are the years of redo's
not an original thought in anyone's head in hollywood
I'd be interested to see how many people are watching regular TV these days
TV = streaming also.
Old folks still do from my experience
65" and above is a small % compared to overall eyeballs to screen size.
Agree to disagree then quad. I have no issues watching any higher budget TV shows on a big screen and I wouldn't mind bigger either
Productions don't care about big TVs, numbers are directly related eyeballs, most eyeballs that pay money are on 6" or less so content is made for that mass audience not for our home theaters 🤣
that really switch over to that this quick?
there can't possibly be more tablet/phone tv watchers than tvv watchers
Lol.
A production doesn't necessarily have to be created for a big screen to be more enjoyable on one. All you have to do is to avoid putting points of interest in different parts of the screen and it'll cause no issues. Sports is a good example of this
its okay you like small screens lol
I know a lot of people who don't even have a TV and watch Netflix on tablets or laptops. I pity the fools.
It's all about least cost to most eyeballs. Who said they are here to "make good stuff" it's 2020, numbers game started long time ago. If the budget is under 50 mil they really don't care how stuff looks on the screen.
well you can see that on the quality of the product for sure lmao
I swear everything is regurgitated crap anymore
then when they fail, they upchuck it once more for good measure
Okay Boomer. ;)
what was the last movie you saw @orchid rose
Parasite or Meeting Gorbachev
It's unfortunate but sometimes better cinematography in a Nike add than 6 seasons of TV, just because it HAS to kick ass on a big screen. 😜
so yea Parasite is a remake of several diffrent older films lol
Although Korean TV / Cinema is next level
Sonoma, 2019 was widely praised as a great movie year overall by most critics
Movie critics 😂 a lot can change with a 10k bottle of wine they say.
not disputing newer generations don't find it original and good. dosen't make it any less true it's still based off older films
it's not an original plot
reminds me during halloween when they did that show interviewing millennials who nevver even heard of jason or freddy lol
Plot is always a remake but unreal cinematography, probably not paying union rates of $400 per day 😜
Very good.
Check out The Outsiders. Perfectly done. Then again it's HBO 😄
That's worth a big ass TV
lol
Lol
the outsiders. I think i remember that from the 80's lol
that had some big stars in it or something
Getting back to TV size bigger is better as long as you got a good engine behind that display.
and your not 2ft away
Sonoma if you actually knew anything about me or what I watch, you'd know how absurd your assumptions are. But unfortunately I have to go now :(
It all comes down to personal preference, nothing is wrong or right when it comes to these things. 😄 @orchid rose
it's not assumption, it's opinion. well sprinkled with a little bit of fact of how the human eye works lol
My master TV is 75" planning on going to 80" soon.
vviewing from how many ft away?
24
thats a lot of feet
Lol yea. Even 75" seems miles away from bed
😜
he's from cali, they go big or go homeless
I have no TV in my bedroom, although my loungeroom TV is the same one I used to have in my bedroom when I lived with my mum
but now theres no need for a separate TV cause I can watch whatever
@forest edge that line was epic. Gotta write it down.
getting a good life out of it, it turns 9 this year I think
lol
Some TV's last a life time. Now I change at least 2 years so get some money back than throwing in the trash.
my 55" is from like 2008 lol
heh
I was planning on upgrading late last year but then I realised that watching a film I don't find myself thinkign about the picture
its fine
no wants
i've only ever gotten rid of one t over the last 20 years and it was a huge crt vega that some poor lady made her two boys pick up that answered my craigslist for free tv lol
its just so easy to get sucked into the culture of upgrading shit just cause
I tried selling a 2017 on Craigslist, but couldn't even give it away because no stand. Had to send to e-waste.
Oh rip
weird, all cause of no stand?
thats surprising, I'd have thought enough people would mount things anyway
id go for it
Some CL replies were too funny.
between arcade machine makers ect suprise any tv's end up trashed that still work
hell evvery tvv made these days only cost a few bucks to repair when they do break unless it's the screen
It was 65 or 55 Samsung
older tv's were never this easy or cheap to repair
Most people that shop on CL rent, can't hang so stand is a must but I always throw the stand with the box. Bad habbit.
anyone know where i can ask about ssh
Yep
I've never wall mounted a TV though, thought about it
my desktop monitors are wall mounted, thats nice
Wall mounts are so cheap now because of the lightness of the TV 😄
VESA?
cheap and the older ones required actual support to be hung, actual just drywall can hold a flat panel as long as it's not a swing mount
most do
theres a stud close enough to where I would mount the TV anyway
Most new TVs will be dandy with wall dogs
well with the new ones being even thinner suprise they don't come with double sided tape lol
heh
ive somewhat developed a philosophy of just not buying stuff if my old one works fine
which mostly works
One of these days, with directional 3m double sided
I've got an old 46" 720p flat screen samsung hanging on the wall that someone threw away and i repaired, just below it still in the unopened box a 1080p tcl 46" tv and next to it a 32" monitor swing arm mount still in it's box unopened. i need to stop hording lol
hah
I also have a habit of selling, giving away, or throwing away anything I cant use though, so thats not for me
I have no use for more than one tv
every time i throw something away in less than 6 months i need it. never fails
haha
I used to when from my AV days, now clean up every 2 years, $200 dumpster and off they go
I generally try to throw nothing away, I give stuff away often enough
that way at least someone is using it
its a consolation
@tidal bronze stuff that still works?
Yes some in boxes
there has to be a business that would take that stuff willingly just to ship and resell elsewhere
I used to do eBay but it's more headache than money.
yea dealing with people can really suck especially those who answer free ads
Exactly
Some even asked me if I can find a stand, only then they will pickup for free. 🤣 I said let me get right on it.
we have a place here that resales shit that businesses donate when they go bankrupt or move, same with schools ect. they have pc parts, tv's furniture ect. it's awesome cause nothing goes to waste. you should see if you have something like that there cause all the money usually goes back into the community after paying salaries and ect
There used to be a place but now they are all gone. Thanks to Amazon. Sad
Fry's is going away as well. So end of this year not a single electronic store in LA. Heartbreaking
yea i saw that, infact one youtuber did thing where they video'd their store that was emptied out just to make another store near ces or something look like it was fully stocked lol
Saw that last night. Vegas trip as well
lol
Even HD is not stocking most of the stuff and offering ship to store.
cloud and home delivery. it's just what it's all going to
why do you get 3 free dumpsters? you guys produce that much trash?
We get 2 large item pickups free per year and move in and move out. But e-waste is separate.
we call that spring and fall pickup
Ewaste is free drop off
I don't feel too bad for retailers getting replaced for amazon
Same here. But I need a dumpster for my crap.
They're just middle men. They're not creators.
True
stores also determine product price to a degree
But retailers have always done that too
microcenter can almost always beat amazon prices
and it's an actual store you can return and exachange same day at
All returns are free for us, local drop off at whole foods or khols
Amazon is evil. But a manufacturer > fulfilment centre > consumer direct model isn't evil.
amazon was nice prior to having to pay taxes lol
Well most stuff we buy on Amazon are from Chinese sellers with 2 people running a warehouse here. From USB to knockoff SanDisk cards Amazon sells gladly, eyes closed
No very different
Same to me. They pick and choose what they "sell", only "sell" things they can deny, why not sell Vapes and cbd rather fullfil according to your terminology?
amazon will turn out to be one of those cannot fail buisnesses
goverments will bail it out ect
hell on 3 separate documentaries i watched it already had people talking about it being aUS cash cow
My problem is treating people like shit. Sellers are treated like disposable food containers. Anything that starts to sell like hot cakes few months later there is the Amazon basic version of it. The original seller no where to be found. Oh well. You live and learn 😄
I haven't seen original sellers disappear
I see the amazon version of stuff, but it always looks diffrent for the most part
Nopes search for: usb to ethernet adapter
side note. the amazon apple oatmeal is fucking awesome. it actually taste better than the brand shit and is cheaper
Original manufacturer is startech
There is a new bill coming up for IP violation and technically if they are an actual "fulfilment" service they are not supposed to duplicate clients items. 😂
Exactly.
😂
Chinese don't care about this they come up with something else and ride that wave for few months.
Kirkland?
every store has thier own brand of stuff already made by others
walmart has thier own brand
grocery stores do
Yes from the original manufacturer? Not copying and making it elsewhere. Like the Kirkland tide
hell the grocery store here called pricechopper had thier own brand called "always save" and they made cigarettes once upon a time lol
Lol.
i dunno about kirkland don't shop there but just saying, stores always had thier own "version" of exsisting products
Do you think that big retailers shed any tears for the mom and pop shops they shut down
This always happened but lower price is from the OEM not photo copy and make it 10 miles out.
No I don't think so but shutting down small businesses is not a great idea for Giants. We were shitting pants doing that in 2008.
what's really fucked up is that these days we don't just have "knockoffs" of things, we have knockoffs of knockoffs lol
That's Chinese culture. It's pretty cool to get your stuff knocked off.
They are proud when someone copies
in my time there was no knockoffs of knockoffs.. walmart had Mike's for Nike ect but there was never a Billies
I have a shop there, know a thing or two. 😄
well hopefully they end up doing to themselves what they been doing to us
and it stops cause one day everything will be so deluded you'll buy something that breaks the second it sees daylight
You look left things change or copied 😂
lol
Seriously nothing stays to spec, ever!
But things are not looking good if Corona keeps raging. Thinking of DIYing toothbrush or 2 since motion sensors are not that kind on the gums
What?
Not drunk. Do you know US manufacturer that makes toothbrushes in US?
that last sentence kind of reminded me of that movie the Happening at the end when the french dude talks about taking his bike back to the apapartment or whatever lol
never looked into it
there has to be atleast 1
Let me know when you find that one
you talking those fancy ones that havve a rechargable base or the actual toothbrush that takes like a single aaa?
No, just a toothbrush
prob slim cause it would be cheaper ot made with chinese parts in china
the triple aaa ones I'm sure 1 of those are made here
well give us a few more decades, we'll start making and manufacturing tech as well. it's kind of unescapable
6 or 7 years ago made everything here but had to move to china. Pretty sad to say the least.
should have seen the Harley fanbois when they learned Harley's were started to be made in china rather than the US lol
and that was many years ago
Most factories of my friends staff has not returned. I am clueless how things are going to progress
Why do you need a us toothbrush
Do you guys make them down under ?
they use lizards
Ahhhh
Japan's hit hard
look at it over 5 years
Market is going bonkers
then go look at bitcoin over 5 years lol
Leave my BTC alone. 😂
tosh 2.0 just did a webceleberty thing on somce 19 year old bitcoin millionair
kid said he spent a grand his grandmother gave him for college buying like 12 coins or something
back when it started
rents some fancy apartment now in Manhattan and bought a lamborghini
Good for him
Time for Uber eats. Breakfast is wearing off. 😜
says he hides his thumb drive lol
I'm still not sure how bitcoin has made the world a better place
Something something money good
atm it hasn't. it's just made "some" epople's lives better
ironically like everything else 🤔
It's all just speculation. Like tulips
People who already have enough money to waste it
Speculation =/= investment
Buttcoins 🤢
Beanie babies
I’m still waiting for my horde of doge coins to appreciate
what are people using for phone backup around here? thinking of setting up a nextcloud docker from the portainer add-on. any other good alternatives?
I only backup my pictures anyway
and Nextcloud does that for me
Anything else is disposable
I run a cronjob that backups my Nextcloud library to a secondary server too
Yeah I don't want to manage my own google drive
And I started a job that copies that to the cloud, but haven't finished it yet
I just want something to manage my photo backups
Rotate them off my phone automatically but still have seamless access in a gallery app
Like google photos but not google and original quality backup
I don't care to access them after the backup on the phone atleast
Everything else can die if it has to
The seamless access is very handy
I go back and access photos alll the time
I go back and access photos alll the time
oof, my poor calendar, now it is full until the 10th of march
best case scenario
@clear ferry how did you set up your Nextcloud? in docker or on a other server?
I run it in a freebsd jail
anyone aware of a way to take an auto discovered mqtt device and change it from switch to sensor? (or do i have to un-discover it, and manually add via config files?)
HA is off topic here
thanks for the warm welcome 😂
there's very many channels. where would you like me to ask my question?
probably #hardware-archived
all channels have a description that tells you what they are for
thanks very much
FORBIDDEN TOPIC
morning
it would be awesome, if dev team try to develop some powerfull event manager/calendar
I was searching some, added google calendar, but it isnt very well
@dry wave but it is afternoon!
a good 14:30 GMT to you too!
ZULU time always
I'm EST, most of my clients are GMT + , and I always speak in 24hour
I work 24h with customers and collegues around the world, so time is relative 😛
GMT -5 4 lyfe
Protip for anyone stuck using Wavefront.... Install Grafana, install the Grafana Wavefront plugin, and join us in the future. It rediculous how much faster Grafana with a plugin is compared to the Wavefront UI itself!
Supra has always been a buttugly car
as long as my car does everything and everything is automated, I don't care what it looks like.
I prefer a comfortable car, with good space
Then looks
So I'll never buy a Tesla, that shit is uncomfortable as heck
Audi 100 was probably the most reliable car I've had
And comfortable and spacious
I want to get an electric car and a sporty fun car for weekend
it's the same car
i enjoyed my 95 ford tempo
For a daily electric driver I would go vw e-golf and keep a Audi TT as a sporty weekend, with 3.2vr6 @fallow galleon
If I could choose
I'm waiting for Toyota/Honda to make a daily electric
Although it has haldex quattro, it is still ok
The Honda E looks cute, sad that it is not available here.
That's why I like it lol
it is also a little too small for the roads highway here
I would like a vw atlas, but it is us only
I would like a transporter pad from star trek, to hell with cars, paying to fix them, a-holes on the road, and traffic.
not when you live in a city of 1 million lol
irony, I am building servers in AWS, and watching my packages of smart devices travel accross the map on amazon.com
I enjoy driving when nobody else is on the road...
I've driven in Manhattan, Washington DC, London, Dublin, Stockholm, I'll be fine 😛
if everyone drove self driving cars that synchronized in traffic we'd be set lol
Never had issues with other people that I can't solve by going round them 🤷
I wouldn't daily drive in those cities.
If you drive the speed limit you feel like you're gonna die
Living in the city is useless anyway, live outside, commute as you see fit
that is my plan
once I decide where I want to buy a house.
can't stand living in the city.
I looked at prices of houses in the city vs what I would pay just 30km outside. Absolutely no competition, especially as I wanted a bungalow (guitar amps can annoy neighbors! 🙂 )
The fun part is that there's people living within the M50 (motorway/ring road that surrounds Dublin) who have a longer commute!
Yeah, I bought a 252m² house for the same as a 15m² apartment in the city 🤷
Difference wasn't quite as extreme here.
@clear ferry clearly has not driven in texas where you get groups of cars going 15 under and are all side by side so you cant go around
Infuriating
get in left lane, leave signal on and lay on that horn
well.. that was interesting
when you blow your nose and... that stuff is NEON Yellow
but then you realized its the stuff from the eye exam
hahahaha
Lol so apparently a developer in the area is paying the city to block new adorable housing here in Austin
Affordable*
There's no adorable housing here lol
It takes only 1 "smart person" in the neighborhood to screw up your life for 5 days. Had upstream issues with 0.9 up, 5 x technician visits, new underground cable. Finally isolated to a neighbor backfeeding Uverse HPNA to a node. Ahhh life.
yeeeep
in our last house we had spectrum, and for about 10 years they were the only ones in the area until about 9mo ago when ATT started doing coax in the area... but they used spectrum's lines for delivery... so there was cross talk when neighbor's switched to ATT because spectrum doesn't do physical disconnects anymore
i've got the regional maintenance manager's number because he was the only one able to figure it out after weeks of having technicians come out
you have stuff hooked up to POTS?
@tidal bronze never had that happen in my last 20 years of internet, we had that issue with one central for cable modem back in 2000, but that was the last I've ever had of performance issues
But then they didn't segregate the customers either, so I could open any open network shares from anyone sharing Central with me too
Pots is pretty dead here for the last 10 years, most installs are fiber or cable modem for older big blocks
When ATT techs are lazy they use HPNA RG6 to add secondary STBs. Like @steel urchin said , since spectrum does not disconnect HPNA creates so much noise at the hub. Interestingly nothing messes up the DL just the UP😄
yep, the upload would be completely hosed
Sadly we are not as advanced as Norway, sorry @clear ferry so glad that you didn't throw up.
Norwat
Happy days https://www.coinbase.com/price/bitcoin @last dirge time to swing?
🤢
I love when I call the ISP and they are like, have you tried turning it off and on, is your computer connected directly to the modem, or, i'm going to reboot your modem, really? it's 3rd party that you have no control of, how will you work that wizardry?
I just lie, sure I reboot everything, yeah, I'm directly connected.
well, have you tried turning it off and on again?
like, I forgot more about networking fool, escalate me to level 2
level 1 is usually an indian guy, level 2 is usually an american lol.
Gone through similar things here. Including the have you rebooted your computer when the modem isn't getting a sync
one time I made a short video of what was going on in the modem's diagnostic page and posted it on twitter at comcast, not long after that I got connected with business support who said they would work with me until it was fixed lol ended up not being on my end.
I have only called my ISP once
And I got transferred to a lady who knew what vlans was

shoulda hit 'em with this @rain swift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEhHEOIYgMY
@tidal bronze yeah btc and others treated me real well today
it's actually very rare that I have to call them.
typically I start with, nothing has changed on my end, it's not me.
the cable modem is pretty dummy proof, it's really just an adapter that changes coax to ethernet LOL
if you don't cash out how can btc treat you well? lol
he likes being teased

@forest edge why cash out ? Unless you are trading
because there is another bubble burst coming
do any banks even still support it? last they all dropped out in 2019
pretty clear indicator
I am trading
gotta save some, cause NY has a couple food truck vendors that accept btc lol
you gotta try it ataleast once
We have btc atms n shit here... Pretty sure almost all the food trucks also take it. But I'm not technically owning the BTC, just trading it though the broker
I don't think we have one single thing that accepts it here
maybe some food vendors might. not sure
Well I'll take the cash I made today and just buy the food truck lol
Not really, I wish I made that much, but I did do pretty damn well... Bills are covered this month at least
at least the older GTX cards are still preferred for mining so even with the newer "booming" crap coming out there shouldn't be a gfx mass craze like there was before lol
I will say dafang on the wyze cam is pretty slick
@steel urchin good for you. Going to sell a few if it gain 2k plus
Fingers crossed for ya man. It was a bumpy ride today lol
I have a rain bird WiFi controller paired up with HA. I am getting ready to write the automation for managing the schedule and stuff that said here is a thought that just crossed my thinking. Would it not be best to have the programming reside on the control as a failsafe (only the life of my lawn and plants are at risk) and instead have check certain the conditions ( such as rain and temp ) and either say nothing and allow the controller to run on it’s normal schedule or send a command to delay the schedule for the next programmed cycle. I am considering this because I had a wifi controller fail on me last summer while on vacation for a few weeks and came home to dead plants and vegetable gardens.
Where's teddi when you need a reee
Might better to discuss in #hardware-archived ? Or #general-archived ?
Traded for a while when it was swinging weekly, few months ago. Although I am not touching my main stash 🙂
bit coin in some ways is worse than anything, it's 1's and 0's backed by nothing, the bankers that run the world could probably crash it to be worth nothing at the flick of a wrist. If you actually try to change it to your local currency, you pay an exchange rate AND now the gooberment knows all about your money, there goes your anonymity which is one of the only good things about it. If you can buy everything with it online and somehow have things delivered to you without the real you being connected to your bitcoin accounts then maybe otherwise meh.
its really only worth what the sucker accepting it agrees it is.
not to mention everyone and their mother is trying to make their own now
sorry guys not sure I understand what all those reactions are about.
@silent canyon best to use something like rachio or rainmachine. Light not turning off/on can be fixed, not dead plants, at least easily.
@silent canyon just giving you crap because you mentioned home assistant here lol
Unfortunately the system is fully installed, no turning back now
There is no such thing as fully installed. How many zones?
@clear ferry lmao wtf... is that a real diagram?


TM has been here more than long enough to understand how the channels work lol
TMidi™️
man I wish. every time I think I have a clue I get slap with a trout.
gotta check them topics boi

Don't make me slap you @silent canyon
see even Hassbot wants to slap me 🤣

alright I will take my very long winded question to #general-archived . Tediore, how do I find out what a topics can be discussed in what channels?
@tidal bronze I have 12 zones
@silent canyon read the topic at the top of each channel there is a description there for what each one is about
@silent canyon right up above ☝️ next to chnnel name
@silent canyon so your rain bird is a glorified wifi timer? No weather sensing?
no the rainbird can run as a standalone system. the wifi integration is an add-on feature that now allows owners to remotely manage their system. When connected to the wifi, it can talk to the rainbird system which will provide it with local weather information. but in the case a a wifi disconnection or issue it will run as programmed
reading about the other system I can see why they are preferred
Not making much sense but I guess it is what it is. Rain doesn't happen out of the blue, most smart controllers calculate past/future for next watering schedule, unless you have no internet for weeks.
The ESP-TM2 irrigation controller is the perfect option for basic residential solutions. Building upon Rain Bird’s legacy of The Intelligent Use of Water®, this controller offers simple water saving features that you will actually use.
With the flexibility of 3 programs and 4 ...
Also how do you calculate for soil type, field capacity, flow rate etc....
come on are you said those others controllers can do all that?
Are we high tech Farmers in here?
growing weed
all day!
does the programming for your recommended controllers reside of the device as a failsafe. wow that looks sweet Maybe not , but having the programming and control reside only in the cloud is like have a light switch that can only be turned on with hand held wifi device. that is a no go
rainmachine is local with cloud access. I would never pick a cloud only system for irrigation
this by far more of a #diy-archived
got it moving
@forest edge nothing DIY about it. Unless you want it to be, then all day SSH 🙂
@tidal bronze I'm ok with jumping to the diy channel
thought you were talking about weather stations
when you said ESP I thought esp8266 ect which dinged diy
@forest edge you're far more of a diWHY
@steel urchin so what do you think is going to happen? 😄
more lines and blocks of color would be my guess
Dude you crack me up 🤣
is that your btc trend?
yes, don't look at it much though.
crypto is so uncertain especially now that you got all these companies trying to create their own. it's never going to go away but i seriously doubt you'll see it spike like it once did ever again
@tidal bronze I'm far from any expert, you're already using better tools than I 🤣
Just been having a really good month
Now that I'm paying attention
This next week I'm planning on figuring out better tools, and research a few topics
Feel free to DM me any suggestions
TediCoin is the future
@steel urchin Thinkorswim would be it. 🙂
Yeah that's top of my list
Although it's a rabbit hole 🙂
@tidal bronze what's this "stash" you spoke of? got me a little curious
Got my BTC waaaaaaaay back in the day 😝
oh? so you got a thumb drive stashed in a bunch of safes that fit within each other like a matryoshka doll do you? lol
matryoshka doll
@forest edge 🤣
I want it to be warm enough for me to open my windows at home 😡
Me in 4 months: I want it to be cool enough for me to open my windows at home 😡
Here you go Tedi, all for you

your from the windy city, how could ever get too hot to not open windows?
90+ is common in the summer

Dope
yup its nice and sunny today in socal
Teddi that warmer/cooler convo happens within the same day here in TX... it can be 30 when you wake up, 85 in the evening, and back down to the 40s before you go to bed
well i can't replace window screen with chicken wire. guess i'll have to bite the bullet and test that plastic stuff myself lol
it was 40f yestyerday morning, 70f yesterday afternoon and 34f yesterday evening lol
yea something like this i think: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Phifer-48-in-x-84-in-Black-Pet-Screen-3004153/100565927
yea. the whole thing os being made of plastic still makes me worry even tho it claims to be "stronger"

@tidal bronze 👍 👍 been working very well....much better than spectrum...i never had gigabit with spectrum but having much more upstream is well worth the change
Right on, good to hear.

Sorry, even my powers cannot save you from this.
Wut?
Wut?
poor nana
Plastic windows?
rubber windows?
Organic windows?
There are some things that can’t be unseen aren’t there.
anyone know what the bottom thing is? its a hue motion sensor, took battery cover off, nothing happened, doesn't seem to be tamper?
That 31a71f506 looks like MAC address. That might give you a clue
@rain swift my guess is pairing mode?
It's zigbee right?
Yes
A hue motion sensor
My first time using a zigbee stick
And zigbee devices, that aren't hue bulbs connected to the hue hub
So could be haha
https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/wiki/Philips-Hue-sniffing#hue-motion-sensor
Most likely one of these values
What are you using to coordinate your zigbee
You could look up the source code
Yeah that's beyond my capabilities lol I mean I could look it up, understanding what I'm looking at is another story
Is it normal for zigbee stuff not to show any state history?
State history in what?
Yea. Ludeuus an Frenk too.
But as far as I understood Ludeuus just own one
@clear ferry sometimes i like watching these https://youtu.be/facDr2lTAUM but I am baffled at how small the tunnels are. that has lead to a lot of animal deaths and the placement of buildings so close to the line and on top of rocks also amaze me lol
@hearty depot he never uses anything!
@forest edge yeah, popular for suicide too, but that is true for Japan too
We had a minute by minute live stream of trains for three days on national TV a few years back
wow that's depressing
We also had log burning minute by minute
@hearty depot which one do you have? And do you use it for anything good?
I think he is called ubikey5 NFC
Mostly u2f for all pages I found supporting it and an extra layer for keypass. Had some udev/Pam rules in place, but that's meh. OpenSSH just got a update supporting the ubikey out of the box (fifo or so) looking forward to enable that.
Yeah, the openssh feature is my main draw
Slow TV is not good for OLEDs
I'm probably cancelling my current linear TV subscription, and buying in on a DTV solution that I can connect to my Plex, that makes a lot more sense than having a standalone TV decoder still
or we'll burn you alive
@forest edge now I will only take sideways ones, just for you
Tv decoder?
@hushed basalt STB?
It's all over fiber optics and hdmi, but still 🤷
i miss just being able to use coax and not need an stb
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time
We use Plex / Netflix 50/50, considering cancelling my Netflix though and just sonarring that stuff
@hearty depot wonder if I need the 5 or just the security key for openssh 
Didn't see a clear answer
@forest edge got the person next to me to take a picture of me for you
@hearty depot twice the price, but the cheaper one has NFC too
Just different protocols it seems
Otherwise wait for google with their open hardware key.
The 5 is more versatile - why I chose it
Have to finally get into pgp
But it feels so hard after one try get it right or you fucked.
But you can use a pgp under key as rsa keys
@clear ferry why you taking pictures of minors you weirdo? i bet you stole that kids snickers too!

You can tell by his face that he knows I will take it

For @unreal orbit
Oh lol, I now see that there is a reflection of a flip off in the picture
I see family guy hasn't changed
family guy is awesome
you do you
Hopefully it never will
we do you you too
no
Funny thing is I don’t even use it
Nice then we should get @ocean mirage to do it
Chicken curry tonight
Nom nom nom
I would sous vide it but curry paste neeeeds that frying
@clear ferry is it a fair assumption that powerwalls and such don't really get used in Norway?
hello , i power off HA at night and power up the morning, but a lot of devices will apppear disconnected , even if i see them send stats in misquito
i get this pb with tasmota and openmqttgatewat

restarting them fixes the issue, but i would prefer some automatic reconnect , is that a bug or config problem , is the problem in tasmota / omg / ha ?
Sounds like you want to ask over in #integrations-archived initially 😉
We assume folks can stop and read 😉
@scenic radish of my zwave devices, none of them show any state history when I click on them in forbidden topic.
Yeah I was gonna say "exactly" when you said home assistant or forbidden topic and kick you out lol
hi there
General Kenobi

Now to discuss with my manager how to get rid of those 65 paid vacation days 
Nice... Now I have three days not booked for customers in march
when can you do X? ... in April?
@clear ferry It's the managers who get in shit here if people are carrying over too many days at the end of the year.
Same here, I carried over 40 days from last year
Hr sent me a text asking if I had mistyped
I replied no
We can’t carry forward more than 5 days - that too 7.75 hours per day! Use it or lose it!

Good and bad - it forces you to take time off, bad pet is you can’t use all at once
@last plaza we used to have a limit of 12 days until 2015
Then they increased it to all
Comp time however is not transferrable, so I took out all of November and December two years ago 🤷
Sweet! I like that as you can go for long international trip
If I only had time to do that 
Or the money
Gotta fix the house, display the baby, watch the greenhouse etc
Cool! For me, 6 months indoors (cold weather) and 6 months outdoors.
Strict rule - No indoor projects during summer! Unless the pipes break, ain’t gonna touch it
😂
