#

Because it is publicly exposed

molten needle
#

Mine isn't public

clear ferry
#

Never tried, but that would probably be sub par in performance

#

Then you should be fine

molten needle
#

Everything is in SD 😦

#

Reading the plex forums now

clear ferry
#

Last time I had performance issues with Plex, I ran it on a dl380g4 and it tried transcoding

#

That was no fun

molten needle
#

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

clear ferry
#

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

forest edge
#

15+ users? I didn't know you lived in an orphanage

clear ferry
#

The number, not the age @forest edge 😛

#

All those users streaming across my internet connection too

forest edge
#

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

clear ferry
#

You can stream native, and it adapts based on speed

#

Like Netflix

forest edge
#

netflix is 720p

#

it just gets upscaled

#

96GB of ram? wtf lol

#

does that server also heat your home?

clear ferry
#

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

forest edge
#

you know overkill isn't actually efficient right? lol

molten needle
#

@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?

clear ferry
#

@forest edge overhead my boy 😛

#

I've never had anything optimized for mobile

forest edge
#

one day atx, that electric bill will show you the true path of the power conservative

rain swift
#

Maybe he's loaded and doesn't care how much power he uses

hushed basalt
#

Norway

#

They run everything off hydro and it's cheeep cheeep

forest edge
clear ferry
#

Power here costs 0.014usd per kwh now 🤷

hushed basalt
#

2 cents/kwh?

clear ferry
#

It was even cheaper

hushed basalt
#

Also who states power in dollars :D use cente like the civilised world

#

That's basically free

clear ferry
hushed basalt
#

Why do people even use heat pumps when they can just burn powah

clear ferry
#

It was 1.1c earlier

hushed basalt
#

Some people pay closer to 40c here

#

Coming from generators fed by Australian coal and gas :D

rain swift
#

Lets all move to Norway.

#

We can make the population 5 million and ...10 or something

clear ferry
#

Free healthcare for all

rain swift
#

How much is your income tax? Nothing is free.

clear ferry
#

32% I pay

#

Roughly

rain swift
#

Someone is paying for it, probably with stolen money lol

#

Ah ha

clear ferry
#

Which is low in European standards

rain swift
#

Okay first in going to get diplomatic immunity so I can bring all my guns, then I'm moving to Norway lol.

clear ferry
#

But I also earn 3x average ThonkEyes

rain swift
#

Nice

forest edge
#

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

rain swift
#

Haha I was under the impression they were all super nice

forest edge
#

they aren't rude, just aren't open like we are in general

rain swift
#

That might be a good thing, hate people haha

forest edge
#

every tourist article makes a comment about that

clear ferry
#

We are quite open 😛

forest edge
#

your open in your own way lol

clear ferry
#

Expensive yes, but we earn 10x some nations 🤷 depends on what you compare it to

forest edge
#

one thing i read said it was like 2k American to get your drivers license

#

i mean come on lol

clear ferry
#

Yes that is true, but a car is also 10x more here than in the us

#

Except electric vehicles

forest edge
#

and that further proves my point

#

lol

#

and finding a job is harder

#

because you havve such a high percentage of educated citizens

clear ferry
#

Not really, if you have a talent you can have a job easily

hushed basalt
#

How hard is it to find a job in America that can pay for your medical costs though :D

forest edge
#

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

clear ferry
#

I have no higher education

forest edge
#

plus you have to speak Norwegian for most companies even when everyone speaks english lol

clear ferry
#

Not true, I work with a lot of people who don't speak Norwegian

forest edge
#

@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

hushed basalt
#

I think if I moved to Norway I'd need to buy full spectrum lights for home

#

I have darker skin

ocean mirage
#

I have spoken to you atx, you have no lower education either

clear ferry
#

Just move up north 24h sun

#

@ocean mirage sad

forest edge
#

was like over 30% of the population has high education

hushed basalt
#

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

forest edge
#

i'd live in NZ but it would have to be secluded and away from the locals lol

clear ferry
#

Most people I grew up with who have higher education work in supermarkets or get welfare

ocean mirage
#

isnt the hole/s in the ozone layer mostly over antarctica now

clear ferry
#

Because they are dolts

hushed basalt
#

:D

forest edge
#

or because they couldn't find work anywhere else

#

job compettition is another thing frequently mentioned about norway

rain swift
#

Higher education means nothing if they have trash degrees

hushed basalt
#

Or they're dolts

ocean mirage
#

have they tried having a tug on those bootstraps

hushed basalt
#

Who learnt how to pass exams

rain swift
#

Gender studies? Liberal arts? Good luck wit that.

clear ferry
#

I've never competed for a job, I just get them

#

😛

forest edge
#

you been working for the same thing for how long?

hushed basalt
#

We have a lot of private school kids in Australia

clear ferry
#

12 now, but been working for 27 years

forest edge
#

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

rain swift
#

Norway sounds like new York, buncha yuppies

hushed basalt
#

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

rain swift
#

That's what happens when college is free

hushed basalt
#

Then make decisions that effect everyone

#

University is very expensive here

rain swift
#

Most of the people I see talk about politics shouldn't be voting.

#

Or cleaning toilets

clear ferry
#

@rain swift university is free too, except the $50 semester fee

hushed basalt
#

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

ocean mirage
#

We briefly had free university under our best PM

rain swift
#

Rich families get connections so they don't have to do well in college anyways lol

hushed basalt
#

Universities lovvvveee their international students

rain swift
#

It sounds like colleges went to trash sheet I got out anyways, I'll never go back

rain swift
#

After*

ocean mirage
#

who'd have thought running universities like a business could go bad

forest edge
#

we need a revolution to straighten out our economy lol

ocean mirage
#

there was no predicting that!

hushed basalt
#

Plus cash for visas

rain swift
#

I don't see any problem with running them like a business

forest edge
#

like we need like a WWIII taken place on local soil

#

clear some trash, reorganize alittle lol

rain swift
#

Why should I have to pay for idiots that get useless degrees and don't pay them back

hushed basalt
#

Lets all boycott Norway's oil, bring them down to our level

rain swift
#

Do they have oil?

forest edge
#

we have our own oil now

hushed basalt
#

Lol do they have oil

rain swift
#

Watch out, America night bring you some freedom.

ocean mirage
#

because they are only useless in your eyes and the cost of allowing them to do so is basically 0

hushed basalt
#

It's their entire economy

rain swift
#

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

hushed basalt
#

How do capitalists contribute to society?

ocean mirage
#

its not worth it telco

#

pick your battles

#

let him taste leather

forest edge
#

start a Honduras immigrant boat taxi to Norway

rain swift
#

😂😂😂

forest edge
#

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

rain swift
#

Only issue there is as I get older, I wanna be near medical support. 😎

hushed basalt
#

I wonder if I should just feed my daughter in the shower to save cleanup

ocean mirage
#

I do the same thing

rain swift
#

if your wife lets you get away with it

hushed basalt
#

It's good that she's feeding herself

#

It's also bad that she's feeding herself

rain swift
#

shower it is

dull chasm
ocean mirage
#

I like the Adam Smith selling ice cream

green inlet
#

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 🤣

rain swift
#

Hahahaha

hushed basalt
#

Does anyone here have a pool at home

forest edge
#

I have a hottub, does that count?

ocean mirage
#

I have a wheelbarrow that I forgot to tip over so its been collecting rain water

hushed basalt
#

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

ocean mirage
#

if i designate my entire backyard as pool area does that count

#

its fenced

scenic radish
#

define "home"

steel urchin
#

Home is where the presence is

hushed basalt
#

@ocean mirage I think if access to your backyard is only possible through compliant portals

#

Perhaps

ocean mirage
#

Back door and fence gate thats locked

#

should be right

forest edge
#

define "home"

#

the cardboard box dosen't count

scenic radish
#

damn

hushed basalt
#

I'm pretty sure doors don't count

forest edge
#

I can't for the life of me understand why projection tv's are still so popular

hushed basalt
#

They need to open away from the pool, self closing and self latching at 1500mm or higher

#

As in rear projection?

forest edge
#

as in ceiling mounted ect

hushed basalt
#

So projectors?

forest edge
#

yea

#

hell even the screens can be almost as much if not more than an actual tv

hushed basalt
#

Try getting a 4k 120" tv and tell me how much it costs

forest edge
#

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?

ocean mirage
#

some people want more

forest edge
#

they want neck pain is what they want

ocean mirage
#

nah its a good neck exercise looking about

forest edge
#

they want arthritis at 30 years of age

hushed basalt
#

100-120" isn't that big for a projector

#

Probably similar fov ratios to your cinema

forest edge
#

lol no

hushed basalt
#

Yes...?

forest edge
#

cinema as in compared to movie theater?

#

maybe i misunderstood

hushed basalt
#

Hardly gargantuan

ocean mirage
#

probably bigger than I'd like but not horrible

forest edge
#

thats not similiar fov to a movie theater

ocean mirage
#

Depends where you sit I guess

orchid rose
#

I've got a 92" screen from ~2.4m away and it's far too small tbh

forest edge
#

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

orchid rose
#

has nothing to do with that

ocean mirage
#

lol

forest edge
#

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

ocean mirage
#

Sonoma just has the superior opinion okay

forest edge
#

you shouldn't evven really have to move your eyes much

hushed basalt
#

What is ideal to you then

forest edge
#

well when i grew up 32" crts were considered top of the line

ocean mirage
#

the future is now old man

forest edge
#

and we watched those from more than 15ft away

#

but the point is

orchid rose
#

Sonoma, you're just wrong and the fact that movie screens have been huge for a long time proves this

forest edge
#

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

orchid rose
#

no

hushed basalt
#

Rule of thumb is about 1 foot per 10-12" of diagonal screen

forest edge
#

they are like over 90ft wide by over 30ft high lol

hushed basalt
#

So 120" is 9-11 feet depending on preference

#

Which is a pretty typical living room setup

forest edge
#

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

hushed basalt
#

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

ocean mirage
#

I'm at 55" at like 12 foot but I really dont mind, I get it though

#

more is more

hushed basalt
#

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

forest edge
#

get better glasses

ocean mirage
#

If I buy a new TV it will likely be 65" but im really not fussed

forest edge
#

i have a 55"

#

but i also have a huge living room

hushed basalt
#

Some people are happy watching 46" tvs mounted on top of mantle peices. But that's not the enthusiast market

ocean mirage
#

its almost as if people have different preferences

#

naww

hushed basalt
#

Just like some people are happy with their iphone 4 and their 1998 camry

ocean mirage
#

must be your eyes hey

forest edge
#

yea if you like apple products there is something wrong with your eyes lol

orchid rose
#

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.

hushed basalt
#

Exactly

#

Hence the term "Big screen" and "small screen" content

forest edge
#

then build a movie theater

#

this is about huge screens in small spaces

hushed basalt
#

That's what a home theatre is...

ocean mirage
#

lmao

hushed basalt
#

But 100" isn't oversized in a long livingroom

ocean mirage
#

just do what you are told telco

#

these fax dont care about your feelings

forest edge
#

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

ocean mirage
#

ironic

#

imagine being so upset that people like bigger screens

#

everyone must conform to my preferences

forest edge
#

nothing to do with being upset

#

just don't get the desire for whipl;ash

orchid rose
#

I have a friend who used to claim that no one wants a TV larger than 40" when those were mainstream...

forest edge
#

show the kids the speed racer movie and they all have to be hospitalized

ocean mirage
forest edge
#

trust me, if your young now, one day you'll understand

ocean mirage
#

okay

#

ill prepare myself to be mad that things change

forest edge
#

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 😉

ocean mirage
#

i mean maybe, unlikely on this server

#

but false equivalencies are not that fun anyway

#

but go off

forest edge
#

but as i said, not mad. i find it dumb

#

but i find alot of things dumb

ocean mirage
#

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

forest edge
#

need quad to chime in cause I bet he's got exactly what i'm talking about lol

ocean mirage
#

he was born during the depression too? 😉

forest edge
#

there he is lol

tidal bronze
#

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.

orchid rose
#

"most TV" is not worth watching anyway. Most good stuff is made the same way as movies nowadays

tidal bronze
#

Not really, unfortunately.

forest edge
#

that's cause these are the years of redo's

#

not an original thought in anyone's head in hollywood

ocean mirage
#

I'd be interested to see how many people are watching regular TV these days

tidal bronze
#

TV = streaming also.

orchid rose
#

Old folks still do from my experience

tidal bronze
#

65" and above is a small % compared to overall eyeballs to screen size.

orchid rose
#

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

tidal bronze
#

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 🤣

forest edge
#

that really switch over to that this quick?

#

there can't possibly be more tablet/phone tv watchers than tvv watchers

tidal bronze
#

Lol.

orchid rose
#

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

ocean mirage
#

probably depends on the content

#

im sure some stuff there would be

forest edge
#

you lol but i'm asking seriously lol

#

cause that's messed up lol

ocean mirage
#

its okay you like small screens lol

forest edge
#

not fucking phones

#

I didn't think crap was made for streaming over broadcast yet

orchid rose
#

I know a lot of people who don't even have a TV and watch Netflix on tablets or laptops. I pity the fools.

tidal bronze
#

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.

forest edge
#

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

orchid rose
#

Okay Boomer. ;)

forest edge
#

what was the last movie you saw @orchid rose

orchid rose
#

Parasite or Meeting Gorbachev

tidal bronze
#

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. 😜

forest edge
#

so yea Parasite is a remake of several diffrent older films lol

tidal bronze
#

Although Korean TV / Cinema is next level

orchid rose
#

Sonoma, 2019 was widely praised as a great movie year overall by most critics

tidal bronze
#

Movie critics 😂 a lot can change with a 10k bottle of wine they say.

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Plot is always a remake but unreal cinematography, probably not paying union rates of $400 per day 😜

forest edge
#

lol

#

I haven't seen it yet, but plan to. i'm sure it's good

tidal bronze
#

Very good.

#

Check out The Outsiders. Perfectly done. Then again it's HBO 😄

#

That's worth a big ass TV

ocean mirage
#

Originality is overrated

#

or something

forest edge
#

lol

tidal bronze
#

Lol

forest edge
#

the outsiders. I think i remember that from the 80's lol

#

that had some big stars in it or something

tidal bronze
#

Getting back to TV size bigger is better as long as you got a good engine behind that display.

forest edge
#

and your not 2ft away

orchid rose
#

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 :(

tidal bronze
#

It all comes down to personal preference, nothing is wrong or right when it comes to these things. 😄 @orchid rose

forest edge
#

it's not assumption, it's opinion. well sprinkled with a little bit of fact of how the human eye works lol

tidal bronze
#

My master TV is 75" planning on going to 80" soon.

forest edge
#

vviewing from how many ft away?

tidal bronze
#

24

forest edge
#

cause it's the distance that matters

#

yea see

#

over 20ft

ocean mirage
#

thats a lot of feet

tidal bronze
#

Lol yea. Even 75" seems miles away from bed

ocean mirage
#

oh thats a bedroom

#

thats a big bedroom lol

tidal bronze
#

😜

forest edge
#

he's from cali, they go big or go homeless

ocean mirage
#

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

tidal bronze
#

@forest edge that line was epic. Gotta write it down.

ocean mirage
#

getting a good life out of it, it turns 9 this year I think

forest edge
#

lol

tidal bronze
#

Some TV's last a life time. Now I change at least 2 years so get some money back than throwing in the trash.

forest edge
#

my 55" is from like 2008 lol

ocean mirage
#

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

forest edge
#

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

ocean mirage
#

its just so easy to get sucked into the culture of upgrading shit just cause

tidal bronze
#

I tried selling a 2017 on Craigslist, but couldn't even give it away because no stand. Had to send to e-waste.

ocean mirage
#

Oh rip

forest edge
#

weird, all cause of no stand?

ocean mirage
#

thats surprising, I'd have thought enough people would mount things anyway

#

id go for it

tidal bronze
#

Some CL replies were too funny.

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

It was 65 or 55 Samsung

forest edge
#

older tv's were never this easy or cheap to repair

tidal bronze
#

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.

vernal mango
#

anyone know where i can ask about ssh

ocean mirage
#

I'd probably do the same quad

#

I hate keeping shit around that I dont use

tidal bronze
#

Yep

ocean mirage
#

I've never wall mounted a TV though, thought about it

#

my desktop monitors are wall mounted, thats nice

tidal bronze
#

Wall mounts are so cheap now because of the lightness of the TV 😄

ocean mirage
#

oh makes sense

#

my TV isnt too light though

tidal bronze
#

VESA?

forest edge
#

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

ocean mirage
#

im not even sure if my TV has mounting points tbh

#

I think it does

forest edge
#

most do

ocean mirage
#

theres a stud close enough to where I would mount the TV anyway

tidal bronze
#

Most new TVs will be dandy with wall dogs

forest edge
#

well with the new ones being even thinner suprise they don't come with double sided tape lol

ocean mirage
#

heh

#

ive somewhat developed a philosophy of just not buying stuff if my old one works fine

#

which mostly works

tidal bronze
#

One of these days, with directional 3m double sided

ocean mirage
#

desktop PC is 6 years, TV is 9

#

monitors are somewhere between those two numbers

forest edge
#

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

ocean mirage
#

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

forest edge
#

every time i throw something away in less than 6 months i need it. never fails

ocean mirage
#

haha

tidal bronze
#

I used to when from my AV days, now clean up every 2 years, $200 dumpster and off they go

ocean mirage
#

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?

tidal bronze

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

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

We get three free dumpsters a year here

I have used one in four years though

why do you get 3 free dumpsters? you guys produce that much trash?

tidal bronze
#

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.

I disagree.

#

Amazon is the master of ripping people's ideas with their basics shit.

hushed basalt
#

True

forest edge
#

stores also determine product price to a degree

hushed basalt

But retailers have always done that too

forest edge

microcenter can almost always beat amazon prices

and it's an actual store you can return and exachange same day at

Amazon is evil. But a manufacturer > fulfilment centre > consumer direct model isn't evil.

amazon was nice prior to having to pay taxes lol

tidal bronze
#

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

#

Amazon doesn't sell

#

They're a fulfilment centre

tidal bronze
#

Lol

#

Same difference

hushed basalt
#

No very different

tidal bronze
#

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

tidal bronze
#

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

side note. the amazon apple oatmeal is fucking awesome. it actually taste better than the brand shit and is cheaper

tidal bronze

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. 😂

the amazon is slightly cheaper

Chinese don't care about this they come up with something else and ride that wave for few months.

that's really no diffrent than store brand stuff tho

every store has thier own brand of stuff already made by others

walmart has thier own brand

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

i dunno about kirkland don't shop there but just saying, stores always had thier own "version" of exsisting products

hushed basalt
#

Do you think that big retailers shed any tears for the mom and pop shops they shut down

tidal bronze
#

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.

forest edge
#

what's really fucked up is that these days we don't just have "knockoffs" of things, we have knockoffs of knockoffs lol

tidal bronze
#

That's Chinese culture. It's pretty cool to get your stuff knocked off.

#

They are proud when someone copies

forest edge

in my time there was no knockoffs of knockoffs.. walmart had Mike's for Nike ect but there was never a Billies

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.

steel urchin
#

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?

clear ferry

@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

tidal bronze

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😄

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.

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.

#

@silent canyon so your rain bird is a glorified wifi timer? No weather sensing?

silent canyon
#

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

tidal bronze
#

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.

silent canyon

Also how do you calculate for soil type, field capacity, flow rate etc....

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

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

hushed basalt

It's the NSA backdoor

#

Looks like you're safe. For now....

#

mac address is 12 no?

#

yeah, must be a back door, haha

hushed basalt
#

@rain swift my guess is pairing mode?

rain swift

Pairing mode with other things?

#

Maybe

hushed basalt
#

It's zigbee right?

rain swift
#

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

hushed basalt
#

Most likely one of these values

#

What are you using to coordinate your zigbee

rain swift
#

HUSBZB-1 nortek

#

Zigbee/zwave combo stick

hushed basalt
#

You could look up the source code

rain swift
#

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?

scenic radish
#

State history in what?

clear ferry
#

The state of this channel for one!

Anybody who uses yubikey?

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

clear ferry
#

@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

forest edge
#

wow that's depressing

clear ferry
#

We also had log burning minute by minute

#

@hearty depot which one do you have? And do you use it for anything good?

hearty depot
#

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.

clear ferry

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

forest edge
#

or we'll burn you alive

#

@forest edge now I will only take sideways ones, just for you

hushed basalt
#

Tv decoder?

@hushed basalt STB?

#

I haven't plugged coaxial into my tv in like 8 years

#

IP all the things

clear ferry
#

It's all over fiber optics and hdmi, but still 🤷

hushed basalt
#

I'm only using plex about 15% of the time now

#

Fibree... Optics ..

forest edge
#

i miss just being able to use coax and not need an stb

hushed basalt
#

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

clear ferry
#

@hearty depot wonder if I need the 5 or just the security key for openssh ThonkEyes

#

Didn't see a clear answer

#

@forest edge got the person next to me to take a picture of me for you

hearty depot
#

What's the price difference?

#

Nfc is more useful than it sounds

clear ferry
#

@hearty depot twice the price, but the cheaper one has NFC too

#

Just different protocols it seems

hearty depot
#

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 is it a fair assumption that powerwalls and such don't really get used in Norway?

The topic of this channel is:

@mild moss For chat around things that aren't Home Assistant related, like whether Docker or Kubernetes, or Celcius or Kelvin, or Celcius or Celsius, or anything. NO POLITICS or RELIGION and BE CIVIL to one another or get BANNED permanently.

mild moss

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 ?

you should change the topic to allow asking for the good channel 🙂

@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.
