But costs of everything for locals hasn't changed since then
I like to compare prices globally - usually you get an idea.
@dull chasm what's that ?
There's also a lot of indirect costs
Like taxes? They are everywhere
Iike a lounge suite in Australia that's decent quality could be 3 times the cost of the american equivalent
Thatโs Booneโs farm light
Because we have less importers providing shit at higher prices to a captive market
@hushed basalt you guys have crazy import taxes
@tidal bronze it looks like something that parents feed to kids when they want some quiet time ๐คฃ
$89 for a hue colour for example
Australia has always been seen as a cash cow to the international market
We are willing to pay a lot so people charge a lot
@tidal bronze cheap wine
The tables are turning. Department stores are dead.
I ship quite a lot to Australia, sometimes the import duty is more than the product itself
I doubt big guys like Gerry Harvey pay their fair share of import duties

We're back with another flavored moonshine recipe....
Taxes are for little people
@green inlet thanks for sharing the aerator. I am finding so many choices. Will get one soon.
Come to the south and getch you some peach pie
How far in South?
I would highly suggest the Venturi
Ok.. found some in amazon. Will look for Venturi
@dull chasm ah... Merlot ?
You are not too far away from me. Have been there so many times.
I have been all over the US. This is by far my favorite outside of the winters.
Carolinas?
Yes sir
Oh boy.
lol
@green inlet it's good when it's NOT humid ๐
Oh, I love the heat. Not as humid as Florida or Georgia
You have to remember this also

If I had my choice, I would move to Barranquilla or Medellin
I wanna join the cartel. ๐
Beautiful country
no doubt.
And they are like bugs, if you leave them alone they donโt bother you ๐คฃ
If you say, you are a DEA, you are untouchable ๐
Cartel life is over rated @rain swift
hahaha
over 50 cases now of coronavirus in the US! https://imgur.com/Q7T3Ol4
@rain swift If we want to fight the Mafia organisation efficiently, we must not transform it into a monster or think of it as an octopus. We must recognise that it resembles us.
A quote by GIOVANNI FALCONE who was killed by the mafia in 1992
Touche
It's hard to really identify the difference between organised crime and certain forbidden topics
The cartel only exists because of the war on drugs, which is victimless crimes by themselves, stop trying to tell people what to put in their bodies. You don't see a booz cartel do you, but you did during prohibition. ๐
Ha ha ha ....you must not live in Colorado
I donโt disagree with you but that doesnโt mean that the legalization of narcotics wonโt bring about its own set of troubles
@shy comet what a coincidence heading to San Luis Obispo tonight ๐คฃ
haha your like right there
Got some work tomorrow out in no mans land. Almost forgot lol
Starting to like this unlimited gdrive and rclone setup
What is that?
Are you just using one account @tidal bronze
One account
Encryption is nice as well.
But I like to image entire drive and that is not recommended.
Prob only need config though
I wonder if google will ever pull that 1 account loophole
I think they already know but percentage wise it must me minimal, data hoarders.
๐คฃ
Plus it hurts backblaze

Not everyone is a tech hoarding norwatian though
Look at that socialist airport
You can't even afford to have agents with sub machine guns
I love that they have a piano here in the morning
Or... It's here all day, but I only play it in the morning
No
Ask any music store
Same is true for Fender Bass VI and any Jumbo Acoustics
I need to learn this on piano
The story about who is playing the piano and why is quite good
@forest edge I applaud you for being confident enough to post your moves online
Great view out of the airplane
@hushed basalt you are such a meanie, I will report you to the internet police 
Wonderful front-page news on one of our newspapers `Norsk oksesรฆd smรธrer forholdet til Kina
Norske okser har blitt en viktig dรธrรฅpner i forholdet mellom Norge og Kina. Sรฅ langt har oksene levert 150.000 fruktbare doser til Kina.`
yea because the rest of us speak scribble
Or are technologically inept ๐
may as well be speaking elvish from lord of the rings
if it isn't english, it's made up lol
Muuricans
Gotta love modern tech. On the train with my phone acting as a Mobile Hotspot. Work laptop connected, and the work VPN on my laptop is quite happily working over the Wireguard VPN on my phone ๐
I need to check out wireguard
Atm I just have a ssh bastion with a forwarded port
And direct port forwarding to my reverse proxy for https stuff with oauth middleware
@hushed basalt Have wireguard setup so, for example, I can hit my FORBIDDEN TOPIC via https over Wireguard on a private ip. Works a charm.
No messing with Duck DNS etc.
hmm, is that an automatic censorship? No?
Just trying to avoid the wrath of @scenic radish ๐
@strange vapor Google assistant needs a public url anyways
Don't use Google Assistant, and if I really wanted I could make it public available via a proxy on a public server which can hit it via Wireguard.
No more tunnels. If I want to hit a server on ssh/http/nfs/mqtt I just hit it directly from laptop or phone no matter where I am in the world.
I guess I just haven't felt a demand to do any of that
๐คทโโ๏ธ
With my sshconfig and fully qualified domain names jumping into another system is transparent no matter where I am
Plus my family doesnt need to run or configure anything
All they need is to be logged into google
All of my deployment is done with github so I don't actually ssh into anything
Just for probing
Where I find it handy is with maintaining stuff at my parents. I for all intents and purposes have a wireguard mesh, so once I'm the VPN I have access to both my place and my parents. Makes support a lot easier when I can just ssh to the desktop there or log straight into the Unifi controller to debug an issue.
For most "servers", as in mostly Pi's, the only user that ever logs in is the user that Ansible uses ๐
Yup. You can choose which subnets you advertise on connection. I'm being all fancy and using it as pure "layer 2" and then running OSPF on top of it.
anybody here with a hades canyon nuc and doing vfio gpu passthrough?
@dusky plank linuxserver.io have a few peeps who do that sort of thing
This article will detail the steps required to passthrough your GPU to a guest VM which will in our case be a Windows 10 VM used for gaming. Yes, this is the exact same technology made popular by Linus on his LinusTechTips YouTube channel in the seven gamers, one CPU
yeah I have it running on a work pc too I'm just wondering if the informations also apply to the i7 with combined rx vega m graphics
recommendations for something i can stick to remotes that can be made to beep if the remote gets lost?
courtesy of our 4 year old, our TV remotes are lost more than they are found
lots of little trackers out there
woah Tile has replaceable batteries on one of their models now
is Tile BLE?
There was a sale on Tiles earlier - got 4 for $19. Replaceable batteries. Integrates well with HA.
how important is it to you, lol.
I mostly just need something that will beep when i push a button, doesn't even have to be bluetooth or integrate with HA or a smartphone
Is it possible to setup an Event in Tasker that only checks like, the first time it occurs in a day?
Basically something to check when I come home from school, but only that and not if i'm actively in that location or come back from the shops 2 hours later
also stupid question but can you ran HASS on Windows?
(outside of VM'ing linux)
Morning all ๐
lol
Only $700 ๐
You in Texas?
No, Norway
Ah. Saw ATX and thought Austin, TX
๐
But that sucks, sorry to hear it
Return flight time
@clear ferry so did you get to read that bumper sticker for $700?
Yeah ๐
@rain swift speeding 35kmph over will get you $1100 fine
Or 20 days in prison or something
Which is fine for some because Norwegian prisons is a little holiday
I got a speeding ticket in Iceland for $1200 but that was fair. ๐
Lol
Yeah, above 35 you get $1500 fine, lose your driver's license for 6 months I believe
I had to wait for the cop to turn around and come for few minutes. Lmao.
๐
He was too nice, the sprinter van had seating inside with a small table. He smiled and said in my 20 odd years of service this is a first, no discounts and extended the credit card machine. Shit was epic.
Haha
Yeah, the guy today was understanding, I should have lost my license
Thankfully not
I drive very little here but in case I do Valentine along with JBV1 saves the say ๐
speeding is a BS victimless crime, you are driving faster than an arbitrary number made up by a politician. In and of themselves they do nothing to make anyone safer, they are a control mechanism and a revenue source for the politicians who invent them.
Breakfast looking good ๐
does Hass work well with mixing light brands?
I'm looking to group/combine my LIFX A60 with a cheapish Alexa-compatible LED strip
I love LIFX but ยฃ80 for a 2m strip is a bit of a laugh
Short answer is yes
it's a HA question though so probably #hardware-archived is the right channel
ah okay
Are the yeelight strips good for Christmas tree lights? I'm doing smart lights this year.
I bought twinklys
They are great
But any ws281x should be good for Christmas lights
In a similar feature set as twinklys
@orchid rose I just now noticed your avatar is a horse
I thought it was a hand that had been mangled


I have irc if I wanted non compact mode
Thatโs the joke


๐ง
Apparently not a good one ๐
Only because they are too young to get it :p
Is that a joke too? I canโt tell ๐
IRC data saver mode days
First illegal downloads I remember were from IRC ๐
DCC
Napster was my first
First pirates I got were from my kindergarten teacher though. Amiga 500 got killed by the ease of piracy, lol
We had a dedicated T1 line back then in our office, and we used that just for Napster and video games - mainly doom II.
Damn, I used to be so jelly of swedes and americans with their T1 connections
Honestly, it came to my attention that "some countries" and "many Providers" dont use ipv6 yet? That's why linuxserver.io doesnt Support it in duckdns. In germany you have to fight or even pay more monthly for a Business Account to get a ipv4
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.
I've been on IRC since 1996, I don't think the problem with the joke was my experience with IRC atleast ๐
Woah! Speaking of 1996, I just stumbled on a website with an encoding problem!
Remember when half of the "home pages" looked like this?
I can't even find where chrome has hidden the setting...
latin-1 I think
Yeah you are right I think
Had to check the source. I half expected to find a <meta name="editor" value="Microsoft Frontpage"> or something...
This is adorable! It's full of obviously hand-placed <table>s and actual <a name= anchors!
There's comments ๐
It's probably all written in notepad.exe
Updated 2012
Or Word...
I remember when that was street cred that you wrote your site in notepad.
your geocities site. ๐
still is street cred
Pff Dreamweaver replaced frontpage quickly for most 
dreamweaver was expensive but then adobe always has been
I personally didn't care for those for a very long time after they came out. made me feel like the lazy man's way of doing things plus I liked doing it all by hand with no autofill or anything
Pff, it was Macromedia
all the same lol
And we just pirated stuff in Norway from 1993 onward ๐
I've been pirating since dos
Yeah, I haven't purchased software since... 1993 
and windows 3.1.1
I bought blue iris, for a discount
and the app lol
and tasker
I think thats about it
can't remember the last time i've actually paid for an app/movie rental thanks to google play rewards
I still got my UT99 clan webpage saved on backup from the mid 90's. I need to load it up one day and see how it looks lol
who rents movies through google?
sad
โ
google play movies & tv son
Then again, I haven't rented a movie since 2004 ๐
google sends me those $2 discount app notifcations all the time, i swipe left
@scenic radish you do google tv?
I thought they were ending that
I should look into moving to a TV provider I can integrate into Plex
why
kodi/plex works great with like OTA type tv but I havve yet to see any kind of cable that could work with either of those
Everything working from the same UI is pretty great
you can get cable TV working with Kodi pretty easily
in terms of having the video stream played by Kodi
Anyone used the Unifi G3 Flex and G3 Micros?
Just wondered which one offers the best picture etc?
#cameras-archived might be the right channel
Thanks
@forest edge no, i just occasionally rent movies from google play movies
ah renting Jack Slaughter 6
@last plaza they are making more stuff for your rack
My tv is pretty good at switching inputs
LG for lyfe
It makes it not worth the hassle to try and get everything on one input
Plex, Netflix, Prime, Youtube, OTA. Too easy
I bought some stuff off Google Play Movies and TV
But that was when I got it all "free" through my telecom provider
So I never spent my own money. Any money I didn't spent meant just more money in Telstra's bank account
Then they cut off that loophole eventually. Barstards
Now I have to buy apps and subscriptions on Google Play like a normal person
you poor thang lol
I cringe every time someone says something for lyfe.
you cringe4lyfe?
You're going to cringe a lot here
@last plaza driving through wine country reminded me of your wine rack๐
@tidal bronze lol. Looks beautiful over there too - weather wise.
I wonder if you could teach a roo to be like a guard dog lol https://media0.giphy.com/media/p7MReDhrTJPfG/giphy.gif
Yes it is little warmer than LA but beautiful
One day I am going to block that stupid tenor domain.
Sometimes it feels like I am talking to my 10 yr olds. ๐คฃ
i am sorry
lol
its 80 out here today...pretty warm
I canโt really complain. It is heavy snow in chicago. It could have been us.
Has @clear ferry landed yet?
he's probably still being body cavity searched
๐คฃ
They still have GPRS ????
I havenโt sent that in a very long time!
Me too. ๐ค
Must have been a really remote location
Somewhat, 101
quad is your phone taped to your hand? just curious lol
Lol.
Mozilla is legit evil now
Sadly yes @forest edge
Y?
They better repent or they go to hell
just finding out they been selling your browsing data?
Well not mine.. I don't use them
they have had to partner with a few other browsers for quite some time to stay afloat and been selling browsing data the whole time lol
why i never went back to firefox
Y
But tbh it's over long time already
@scenic radish trying to be conservative on key strokes ๐
โ
@scenic radish is a man of few words!
but many emjoi

lol
Word machine broke
Olympics are coming up this summer in Tokyo. Not sure how coronavirus is going to impact it.
they will just VR it from a remote location
that or risk seeing the runners ect all vomiting on the field
ect
.f2c 80
80 degrees fahrenheit = 26.67 degrees celsius!
It was over 30 yesterday
But then storm and thunderstorm
Let me concert that into walmart units
.c2f 30
30 degrees celsius = 86 degrees fahrenheit!
@green inlet thanks for the tip on Vinturi! Cant wait to test it!
wtf now the CDC is saying the coronavirus is going to be a seasonal thing and isn't going anywhere lol
derp.. when you wonder why stuff cant access the dns server... and you are off by one number in the firewall
funny a cdc doctor just said its coming to the US and kids will be doing teleschool and stuff.
they can't get their lies straight.
Lets make esports as olympics...it does take lot of fingering and twitching. Not to mention the eye movements also....until COVID become "wire"borne
same as sars of old, it's still around
taiwan had an outbreak in the past month or two
@last plaza eagle landed long time ago ๐
told ya he was detained for body cavity search lol
Poor guys then, I don't have much cavities left, I'm just full of shit
๐คข
silly meme she was talking to the paperclip https://media1.tenor.com/images/2322d33b51af745c13e7e397bc9b14c0/tenor.gif?itemid=5630385
Lol Apple
They are now requiring sites to replace certificates every year
That'll be a pita on internal servers where everything usually has 3-10 year certificates
Thank goodness I only have two customers out of atleast 1000 that use apple products
apple.. i wish people would stop buying thier junk lol
well, if safari triggers if the certificate is over a year old it will matter ๐คฃ
Same goes for any inhouse app they make, they also need an update with a new cert yearly
Yup ๐
I have a hard enough time getting my customers to even implement certificates in the first place
and I opt for 5 year lifetime these days, because I know noone will fix it in 1 year
I would like to live a little longer then 5y, but you do you
yeah, I do 10y in darksites where I know the applications will live long...
in normal sites you usually have application updates within those 5 years
90d let's encrypt ๐ฏ
Ah internal as in applications for use for staff
I need to look into using letsencrypt for internal licenses, I need it in my lab
I thought you meant machine to machine api stuff
I get why apple is doing it though
Get out
because they love being a PITA ? ๐คฃ
Crypto exploits become known, and people still use those certs for 5-10 years
The company should handle that for its own internal stuff, it should not be the OS of 1% of the clients in the company
or you mean, 0.4% of all clients world wide ?
If they do not have that controll, they should hire someone to handle it
I feel sorry for corporates who have to manage macs though
I think this includes iOS too
So that's a big share
CEO will want to know why he can't look at a report dashboard on his ipad
@light trout you might need to elaborate what you mean
I don't comprehend
Know your stuff, or hire people who does ๐คท
So are you for or against the apple cert restrictons
so we have 14 unconfirmed cases of the coronavirus here in KC where all 14 cases are being monitored and likely not the coronavirus yet every place that sells surgical masks has sold out and people are freaking because they found out that everyone here who knows someone who lives in china bought out all the mask and shipped them there lmao
shits too funny
People have been shipping our baby forumla to china for years
probably in hopes of reduiceing thier birth rate
Now you know how it feels to have something you need cleaned out :D
Formula is really big in China
Mostly because of unregulated marketing from the likes of Nestle
And also the culuture of leaving your baby with the grandparents while you move to a city for work
They also don't trust "Chinese" formula manufacturers, because of contamination that killed a lot of babies
So particular brands here are like gold
we had to use formula because my daughter hated waiting more than 2 seconds for food ๐คฃ
come on FUCK OFF
FEED ME HUMAN
Glad we've never had to use formula
Yup, we used formula for ours, because otherwise he was going hungry
wtf you raising atx? norwat wookie?
Screw sterilising everything
lol
... every place that sells surgical masks has sold out...
As one actual scientist here has pointed out, the virus is much smaller than the holes in the masks. The masks achieve a grand total of hee haw
Are we at the same age @hushed basalt ? Oct2018 here
lol
Oh that much difference
Plus you're not touching your own mouth and nose
Nor projectile sneezing on everything
yea
it's airborne i thought though
still think it's messed up our CDC said it's not going away, this is here to be a seasonal thing lol
But if someone is wearing a mask
Won't it reduce how much they sneeze and cough
Have you seen that show Counterpart
@forest edge don't worry, the health care industry will flourish during this pandemic
especially the private ones
I have no doubt lol
they just fast tracked a new medicine for people with graves eye disease and it's the first medicine ever to come out for it and they think 200K is a justifiable cost per person for it lol
not a cure or anything, all it does it help reduce the swelling
if our medical field was a building I'd have set it on fire lol
Fun fact
In film and television, when a time period goes over midnight we just stack on top of 24
So if your day is 7pm to 8am the next day, you would say 1900 to 3200
Good luck to anyone doing timesheets
for one we are on 12 hour not 24
so no need to go over 24
and 2 pretty sure hollywood is 100% automated now so no time sheets
Who the hell would use 12 hour format in production
was this not about paying people? time clocks ect?
if not then no clue wtf your going on about
I'm talking about film and television
@tidal bronze do those yanks use 12 or 24 format on a production
There was some new drug they wanted to charge for in Norway, but they ended up giving it out for free
Don't remember which it was
Think it was a migraine medicine
@scenic radish I got tired of waiting for ChromeOS to enable usb, so I installed dualboot GalliumOS
it is however based on
๐คข but it's good so far
well that was interesting, even though I have no suspend configured ever, I created a vncserver on my docker host, to play around with virt-manager, but when I connect to that it starts assuming I have a desktop and went into suspend mode ๐คฃ
Yeah I have no idea what happened there, but suddenly all my containers were nonresponsive and I saw on the vnc console "going into suspend"
@clear ferry there's a chrome flag to enable unsupported USB devices, not sure how well it works though
Galliumos was super ugly and installing it even via dual boot made it impossible for me to change my screen and keyboard brightness even in chrome os
the flag does nothing for me atleast
I can fine switch between chromeos and gallium ,and no issues so far after disabling sleeping of cores
which was an issue on apollo lake devices apparently
@hushed basalt 24
Thought as much
You'd have to be mental to use 12 hours
You want someone to show up at lunch time instead of midnight. That's how you get someone to show up at lunch time instead of midnight.
Yay, getting a nice GigE FTTH upgrade ๐
Cries in vdsl2
I'm getting 80/30 and I'm one of the lucky ones
I have friends getting 16/4
how is life in 2004 @hushed basalt ?
Currently on VDSL2 100/20 and could have upgrades a while ago but I'd have had to change my provider to get GigE
My ISP can now offer me the GigE connection. Even better, I keep the same IPv4/IPv6 details, just coming over a different pipe ๐
It's good. Can you give me the lotto numbers for 2005
I want to change ISPs but the better ones don't have ipv6 :o
I'm happy when my "80" Mb/s connection delivers above 45...
Still faster than 28.8 ๐
barely ๐คฃ
I still have my 56K modem somewhere... must dig it out and see if it still powers on ๐ค
I have one still in use on a fax-to-email gateway.
I remember using a fax... in as late as 2007 actually
Probably going to be retired soon as they've recieved less than 10 faxes this year, so not worth the cost of the POTS line to keep it going.
@clever mortar 80mb?
That's the theory
Officially I'm supposed to get about 60-65 Mb/s
I've never seen it sync above 50, and it's usually closer to 40
Fscking FTTC
FTTH FTW
Apparently it's coming my way... maybe in the next year or two ๐คท
I thought UK connections are generally over 100 or 200
I'm only getting 292 \ 275 on my 500Mbit, it used to be 300Mbit but maybe they forgot to upgrade me when they speedbumped everybody ๐ค
I should call them
Guess I should be more grateful for my 200/10
Yes, upload is 10.
According to my router I'm getting 220+ down though
UK is split into:
Dialup (yup)
ADSL (<8 Mbs)
FTTC (most - <80 Mb/s)
FTTH/Cable (few - 100 Mb/s-1 Gb/s depending on provider)
We do have shit ton of 1.5 people out there ๐
atleast it was until a few years ago
Maybe I'm just Mr. Moneybags over here with my 200 down for 50USD/month ๐ง
atleast when I spoke to americans in the past, they were mostly on always on dialup
Goodness
that was until... 2009 atleast
What if I told you that was 11 years ago
yeah, I wouldn't expect everything to change on that timeframe, considering dialup was already dead for 10+ years over here in 2009 :p

450/25 is $69 and 996/35 $105 here @scenic radish
Sick day today bois. The microchip has been compromised
GigE FTTH is around โฌ50 a month here.
Corona-Teddi
500\500 is about $60 here and 1000\1000 is $110 I think
100\100 can be gotten for $20 I think
But what good is 1000/1000 in Norway ๐ค ๐
100/20 VDSL2 is also around the โฌ50 a month.
since we have free electricy, it is good for a lot of stuff, self hosting for example ๐คฃ
Unless you are streaming making of brown cheese videos from fellow Norwegians, I don't see the point.
Streaming Plex to DA WORLD!!!
pff, we usually have 3-6 users in each house using the internet for streaming and work, and host our own stuff on the internet to share with other users because nobody cares about piracy ๐คฃ
I hear you, makes perfect sense IN Norway ๐
I've got gig up/down FTTH for $77/mo
ATT right @last dirge
yeah
Do they cap?
all this rain we've had recently has uncovered my crappily buried fiber
I need to call them out
@tidal bronze if they do, I've never hit it
or if I have, I've not noticed
my wifi is definitely the short straw on my network
@last plaza , least I can do considering all the help you have given me. Hope it works out.
Spectrum got their assed kicked for promising speeds and not delivering in LA.
we haven't had capping since 2000 over here, remember we had it on max transferred data on ADSL
if you're behind the ATT gateway and you're not using a computer that's got absolutely nothing else on it, you'll not see the gig speeds
due to their shitty NAT
Hate ATT with a passion.
@green inlet so nice of you! ๐
I haven't used an ISP gateway in the last 20 years, except as a pure bridge ๐คฃ
there's apparently some trickery you can do where you have their gateway on a separate VLAN and you only use it to initiate the connection
then you unplug it and put it in a box and let the Edgerouter do its thing
that sounds weird
Always cat and mouse with att
for fttp here I just threw away the modem I got, connected directy to the fiber to ethernet converter
the ONT won't talk to anything but their modem to initialize the connection
for vdsl 10 years ago I had to keep the modem in bridge just to translate, but that was unnoticable
LOL muuurica ONT
so you have to have their modem to init the connection
Same with spectrum
their network is also double NATted
and there's no way to actually completely bypass the NAT in the gateway
lol hello 2000
@clear ferry we all know no country is as advanced and bleeding edge as Norway. Please bare with us kind sir.
for the vast majority of their users, it's probably a good thing
since the extra NAT allows them to get into the modem remotely
but the fact you can't turn it off pisses me off to no end ๐
Then again I am wondering what Norway has brought to the table since 2000, other than @clear ferry
do you need anything else ?
also, Claire Saffitz is a national treasure
While we have a list of ingredients, nobody really knows how Combos are made. There is little to no information about Combos on the internet, which begs the question: what are they hiding? But not to worry, pastry chef Claire Saffitz is on the case! Join her as she attempts to...
All ATT connections are capped here.
pretty stoked about the CDC releasing a lowkey "don't freak out about coronavirus in the US" statement
definitely means "this may be an actual problem"
brb the walking dead
filmed in Atlanta ๐
the "CDC building "in The Walking Dead is actually the Cobb County Performing Arts Center (or whatever sponsored name it's got now)
unsurprisingly the actual CDC buildings are pretty boring institutional government buildings
There is some tax/financial reason but a large majority of scenes from shows are done in Georgia. They were always filming something in the Conyers / Covington area where we used to live. Vampire diaries was always filming something on the Covington square.
there are a ton of gigantic sound stages around Atlanta now
yeah, one of my lyft drivers was saying that he could take me on a tour to see all the sets
he was constantly picking up actors from the airport and driving them to locations
The new feature of dimming down the lights is perfect
new dimming feature ? ๐ค
Which, sounds like a topic for not this channel ๐
๐คฃ
I can't help it, the snark is strong in me
I've been so busy with work I haven't had time to read any release notes lately anyway
I noticed the announcement and was waiting for the first upgrade woe posts
FORBIDDEN UPDATE
Okay so where should I put this?
@tidal bronze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQU22mn8h_M
I am attaching an electric Motor to power the Marble Machine X,
The primary reason is to exclude human errors in the power input while calibrating the musical timing. The Electric motor provides a constant torque and will increase the accuracy of these timing tests. The Motor...

Like that
Ooh yes I got that
marble machines are definitely on-topic
You guys love marbles?
And machines
Do you guys know Jelle's Marble Runs?
It's like pumpkins and trebuchets. Individually they're fun, together they're awesome fun ๐
Lmao
The first marble RACE of the brand new Marbula One! This weekend, our racers will have to master the course of the Savage Speeders, the Savage Speedway! AFTER THE PREMIERE this will become just a normal video!
NOTES:
- The name "Marbula One" is copyright protected, we reache...
So I just found this guy
@midnight adder if you don't know about Martin's Marble Machine, you should check it out
I know about him, he's from the catchy song as well
Check Jelle's Marbles Runs out tho
The production quality is so high

Lol got a house on the market today, and in 3 hours already have 5 bids
This could be fun
Zzz selling houses
My in laws had to live in their parents house for 2 years to be able to sell it without tax, some strange laws in Norway 
But if you live in it you pay no tax at all ๐คท
Maybe it was just one year 
You only are taxed on a sale in the US if you profit 500k from the sale
And don't buy a new primary residence within 2 tears
@steel urchin good luck
Rates are crazy good.
Yeah, you aren't taxed anything if you live in it, even if you sell it for like $1.200.000 afaik ๐คท
Err rates for what?
If you don't you are taxed 40% I think
30yr
Oh, I'm not worried about how they pay it lol
My houses are bought with cash
I don't do mortgages
You should be LOL
Yeah, I have had 1.69% rate a few years ago, now it is up to 2.19%
Supposed to go down even further
My parents had it in double digits in the 80s
Damn
I think ours was like 2.5% in 2002?
It's been too long
I couldn't imagine double digits
It's double digits in most of the developing countries
Was actually up to 15% according to the statistics I saw
@tidal bronze in Alabama you say? ๐
How pricey is insurance in the us? I've insured two cars 100% including engine and transmission, and my house plus all stuffings, plus travel, plus life insurance for like $2200 per year
Pretty normal with cars up to 12 years old
but then you get raped for everything over there so they SHOULD.
they should probably just give you a new car every 12 years lol.
You mean like the 5year warranty we have by default on anything from cars to electronics with no questions asked unless you intentionally broke it @rain swift ? ๐
well nothing is free so either your corps are very generous, its being forced by law, or someone is making money somewhere on the back end.
nothing is free, nothing, no where, no how.
Forced by law yes
nice, that must suck for them, but good for you lol.
Yeah, had a friend get a new car when his 4yo broke down and they couldn't fix it
And I got a new TV when the old one was 4.5 years and the PSU died ๐
it just makes me wonder what kind of other laws you have there
3 years are standard from vendors, but by law you are entitled to five years, and the vendors usually don't want to get into the argument because the law mostly sides with consumers
do you have a TV license like the brits?
what other ways do they try to micro manage your lives?
the so called utopias always come at a high price lol.
Yes, if you own a TV with a tuner we pay $250 per year in TV license, but I just removed the tuner on mine and tell them I don't have a TV ๐คท
LOL
and nobody thought that was BS?
like what exactly is this license for?
using your eyeballs to look at a screen?
I haven't used a tuner in 20 years anyway
thats more of that "well it doesn't effect me because i'm a middle class white guy" stuff.
doesn't make it okay.
a TV license is lunacy.
I'm middle class 
will they license you to breathe next?
I had no idea ๐
the way you talk you're probably upper class, I was just making an example. ๐
wait for that carbon tax for existing
unless you already have that?

people should be rioting in the streets way before that kind of stuff is brought into existence lol.
Never heard of TV license. Thatโs epic! I wouldnโt want to live there for sure! Thatโs just nuts.
It funds production of Norwegian television, roughly 50/50 from state and tax
Are the TVs free then?
UK has a TV license too, though it only pays for the BBC
Means we have a bunch of TV channels with no adverts ๐
That hour long program slot will have about 55 to 58 minutes of actual program, not 40 ish ๐
Thatโs paid version vs free version. That is different from getting a license to own a tv
Yeah, but the simple approach is to require a license to own any number of TVs
Why? That sounds ridiculous! ๐ญ
That's how it works here, each address has it's own "license" (if you own a TV)
Given that it pays for the BBC, and we get no adverts, I'm good with that
How much is it in the UK?
Here in the US, you can buy 1000 TVs and donโt have to pay anyone nothing. Unless you want subscription channels, then you pay for what you need.
Yeah, but you get death by advert
Even our commercial channels aren't that bad ๐
You have a choice.
Yeah, usually the commercial channels here are 3min adverts at most
Not require TV license by law. Thatโs just waste of resources
In the us I can watch just adverts for an evening ๐
Different countries, different approaches
Ultimately, national TV has to be paid for somewhere. With a TV license approach it's just obvious.


@scenic radish no tenor links? ๐
I now disabled the links, unless I click on links, it doesnโt show the images by default. It doesnโt bother me now anymore.
So the government charges you to fund their propoganda, got it.
Only if you know what you typed.
I do
Score

after 2 whole semesters of mandarin, I can tell you each one probably has 20 different meanings based on context.
Context is always the key and a hard one when learning new languages.
that's why I stick with the superior language of the earth, English, lol they forced me to take a foreign language to get their piece of paper.
English is such a simple language even Americans can almost learn it
Well cant believe it's been a year since ive started using HA
Inserts the mandatory Finnish language meme: https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/a2qAMje_700b.jpg
simple is better, in many cases. ๐ less to go wrong.
I've heard English is one of the more complicated languages to learn because of all the strange exceptions...
maybeh
it probably depends on what language you're familiar with as well, but I never found English hard to learn
I tried Finnish, it was hard
I've never met a person under the age of 90 who found English hard
It might be hard coming from a tribal language, but then again any non tribal language probably would be
Icelandic is the hardest Iโve heard. I couldnโt pronounce that volcanoโs name. Ayyahuyya something ๐
** Eyjafjallajรถkull**
I thought we were all gonna be speaking mandarin but not so sure now. ๐ค
I like English
Simple and boring
I only know Germanic languages and Finnish ๐ฆ
Thai I'm never gonna try outside the regular phrases, tonal languages are a pita
You could probably learn Hungarian pretty easy @orchid rose Finnish shares a lot of the same rules
My French and Spanish is good enough to be a tourist with manners ๐
Rules apparently yes, but none of the rest is the same. It's completely unreadable for us
The rules are atleast 50% of the language ๐
True, but still I doubt it's going to be that easy
Easier than for me 
That's the price you have to pay for having it easier with languages spoken by half a billion people ๐
I can understand German far better than I can speak it
mostly due to their insistence on having THREE genders for nouns
if that isn't complicated enough, they all change too in inflicted forms

The wheels on the new Mac Pro don't have locks. They cost 550$. - https://v.redd.it/olll4jqrtaj41
Iโm sure you can buy a dongle separately
Apple Engineer explaining MacBook Pro!!!
Dongles is what u want!!!
Whoever did ๐that video, it summarizes well on what apple does.
Yeah, the dongles are insane too, I have one customer with 150 MacBooks, and they have like 4-500 dongles around the shop
And they never find the one they need
So they go to it and ask for a new one in a box
There's a sucker born every day, and apple makes them a customer.
we can pretty safely assume that people who use HA are not the target segment for Apple ๐
the display atx mentioned might sounds a bit weird at first but they were claiming it competes against displays in the 40k price range

Have you seen the amount of people saying omglol homekit doesn't work @orchid rose ? 
I don't think HA is the answer for people who enjoy the apple "experience" though
I dunno, lots of hackers like macbooks because it's unix but everything just works
then they run their hacker stuff in linux VMs
at least that's how it used to be lol
If I can ask here. I have mounted a second internal drive to Zoneminder. Added disk to fstab in host and docker. But on system reboot docker wont auto mount disk(only host do it). How can I make auto mount disk persistent in docker?
@modest hollow you may want some startup script or a service that auto mounts drive before Docker starts its containers.
@rain swift "unix"
systemd service? hmm script, will search
Yep
You can run any program or a script you want.
@rain swift get Kali Linux with all the security tools built-in.
Below example shows how to create a systemd script to mount a disk under a specific path on reboot automatically.
Yep. Exactly @modest hollow
Thank you!! And everthing is edited in host?!
Thanks!
I know what kali is
I know crapple runs bastardized darwin BSD
I'm just telling you why hackers liked it
boy they have ruined dr who, and they refuse to change.
hey all; any ideas for the following? just looking for a brainstorm session:
Prompt my phone with a yes / no / later function to ask 'did you workout today?'
if no, do nothing;
if yes, add todays date to a google sheets file; A2, A3, A4 etc....
if later, prompt my phone the same question in 5 hours.
I have a calendar / events for the type of workout I am suppose to be doing;
not sure I can integrate them all
looks like, forbiddeennnn topic.
forbidden ๐ค
what i'm doing for myself is trying to make a motivation tool to drive me to workout so I can buy my tech toys;
A formula would take the count of the days; and multiply it by a value ($5 in my case). And that would be my allowance to purchase more toys.
Figured it would be a great tool to attempt to integrate into home assistant
rather than do excel sheet formulas like a caveman

Home Assistant is off topic here
what is the correct channel? I was going to put in core but that's under installation
@plain raptor you might want to think of using some sort of voice commands - alexa integration rather than using google sheets. Hard to integrate google sheets with Home Assistant. You could try asking the question in #general-archived as it is nothing to do with home assistant yet - in the sense that you don't have any working code or running into issues
right; thats why I thought maybe lounge just as a brainstorming session; will post over there thank you
Anyone here play around with the new Wyze lock in Home Assistant?
@sand jewel #hardware-archived
Thanks
anyone ever thought about calculating an overall niceness score for outside?
it should work as an indicator whether or not you should leave the house
http://www.meteovista.com/weather-rating/2971/0
I've found this but it's not exactly my use-case
@weary summit I do something like this that alerts me when is the right time to fly drone.
@last plaza interesting. how do you do it?
oh no! my county just announced it's monitoring 3 "medium risks" people who might have the coronavirus! I am so gonna die!
Deepracer deep training in progress.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction when it comes to adding audio input/output to a VM/Docker install of Home Assistant? Would like to try out Hey Ada! / Almond, but not using the Pi.
@ruby mauve wrong channel. Try #330944238910963714
Oh, my bad. Thought that was purely for the installation of it. Thanks!
Anything butt
@last plaza So you getting serious about this wine stuff huh? ๐
@tidal bronze dead serious. Tried it already. Fantastic!!!
Good thing I bought, I can make room for things like those on my wine rack ๐
Although I think you are going about the wrong way on calculating the wine rack dimensions. Example, if you are planning to house 32 bottles, it's not really needed or warranted to drink 32 bottles, just to get dimensional data.....
wino-chat take 2
lol - the racks are only 6-8 bottle racks. But two identical ones for the dining room on each side.
But then again how you are planning to do it might be more accurate ๐
whats the point of the rack other than decoration?
True. I canโt wait for spring weather. Stupid snow again today. Canโt even go into my garage.
Spring? It's summer already
Rack is to organize things not for decoration. Al my wine bottles on are my formal dining table occupying space.
Itโs 22F and cold as hell@outside with snow and rain
Vlans doesnโt necessarily stop horizontal movement
anyone in here use the unfi security gateways for home firewall?
74-75 is ideal weather!
I got my AP onto the controller, thinking about getting one of the firewalls to replace my old openBSD box
USG >>>>> Run !!!!!
Love everything else from them but USG is simply a shit show
Do not buy a USG at this point in time
dat edgerouter doe
UDM or UDM pro
Yep ER all day !
udm?
they make a 5 port don't they?
UMG is where it is at
I got a rackmount ER8Pro
so what would be a good firewall that has a nice gui and all
maybe, heard they were jerks about a lot of stuff
@forest edge talking about crash and burn, in the process of building a house sprinkler system with battery backup. Runaway embers being the number 1 cause of house fires, trying to automate that as well.
I just wanna get a box and hook it up and have it get updated and stuff lol
Unifi is in a transition period
ahh
@tidal bronze automating runaway embers?
so hold off a bit
UDM Pro also has the controller built in
UDM Pro meh
@last dirge lol one day I will tackle that for now, to soak to the roof and walls.
Thatโs what the UMG is for
yeah I just need a firewall and I guess if it has their controller built in thats cool, wouldn't be hard to move one AP over
What's not out?
@tidal bronze just tesla roof it lol
Aka the USG successor
Oh no, @forest edge I don't want to be like Walmart trying to get money back for solar roofs
... itโs for IDS/IPS
he's been giving them away lately, i've seen 6 youtube videos on it lately
that would be fun
it looks good, don't remember lifespan tho
@rain swift you want IPS
I wouldn't hate it
I also like all the stats the AP controller gives
I wanna see how much data everything is using, etc. etc.
It bans a lot of people who try to access my HA server
And a lot of bad actors on torrents.... for you know... Linux ISOโs
the solar tiles are made diffrently @tidal bronze
and what I do get is
why haven't you people started buiding new homes underground?
You would like that huh? LMAO
being in cali you actually get more benifits than most by going underground
flooding?
See Texas
this isn't texas
If you want us all to crash, burn and die just say so. Why stick us underground and wait for that epic earthquake? @forest edge is simply EVIL!!!
the earthquake is gonna get you regardless lol
but atleast till it does imagine how much you'll save on cooling cost
*save
Just the cost of doing business in LA ๐
going underground actually makes a lot of sense. not only for the fire aspect but the cooling aspect alone
There is a reason why we don't have basements, underground transit etc
yea cause you don't want to fork out for a proper build of it
but it is doable
if they can make unground earthquake and apocolypse shelters, they can make homes lol
it's just upfront cost would be high
but the savings in the long run i think would counter it
It's Cali, not mid-west, we don't believe in apocalypse shelters lol
hell your average electric bill is almost a grand isn't it? lol
It is ๐
Why do you get $1k electricity bill when you have 75F all year long? Arizona I understand
Duh. I get that.
eats
It's not consumption, it's LA county taxes/prices. Drive 50 miles and it's few hundred.
Hell we can't even water more than 3 days a week ๐
Itโs got to be consumption AND...
be the first quad, start the trend. go underground and plant a garden on top between your neighbors lol
those who want to not catch on fire and lower thier electric bills
it's not like you can't have an above ground pools ect
hell do something fancy, make the pool rise up to reveal your front door lol
@last plaza consumption too, I take the blame for it as well. 67 is not recommended for HVAC ๐
Should a NUC boot to a bios screen if no OS is installed?
Skalavala, have you had a glass?
? auto without pressing a key? no
But no flash screen no nothing
@green inlet yes, sir! Amazing difference!!!
Just solid light on front
bios screen pop up with no os regardless
Just got it, turned it on and blue light on front.
be this person quad. lol https://cdn.insteading.com/wp-content/uploads/igm/g/underground-malator-house-in-wales-3.jpeg
Nothing on the monitor
Did you plug the monitor after power on?
rain coming in would be my fear of that lol
No
Did you try the bios entry keys regardless
