But costs of everything for locals hasn't changed since then

I like to compare prices globally - usually you get an idea.

tidal bronze
#

@dull chasm what's that ?

hushed basalt
#

There's also a lot of indirect costs

last plaza
#

Like taxes? They are everywhere

hushed basalt
#

Iike a lounge suite in Australia that's decent quality could be 3 times the cost of the american equivalent

#

Thatโ€™s Booneโ€™s farm light

hushed basalt
#

Because we have less importers providing shit at higher prices to a captive market

tidal bronze
#

@hushed basalt you guys have crazy import taxes

last plaza
#

@tidal bronze it looks like something that parents feed to kids when they want some quiet time ๐Ÿคฃ

hushed basalt
#

$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

dull chasm

@tidal bronze cheap wine

hushed basalt
#

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

hushed basalt

I doubt big guys like Gerry Harvey pay their fair share of import duties

@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

rain swift
#

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. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

hushed basalt
#

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

strange vapor
#

@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.

orchid rose
#

hmm, is that an automatic censorship? No?

strange vapor

Just trying to avoid the wrath of @scenic radish ๐Ÿ˜„

hushed basalt
#

@strange vapor Google assistant needs a public url anyways

strange vapor
#

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.

hushed basalt
#

I'm just not sure what I'm getting

#

As the upside

strange vapor
#

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.

hushed basalt
#

I guess I just haven't felt a demand to do any of that

#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏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

strange vapor
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

hushed basalt
#

That makes sense

#

Does it split tunnel

strange vapor
#

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.

@rain swift speeding 35kmph over will get you $1100 fine

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.

you can get cable TV working with Kodi pretty easily

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

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

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

plain raptor
#

what is the correct channel? I was going to put in core but that's under installation

last plaza
#

@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

plain raptor
#

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?

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

last plaza
#

@weary summit I do something like this that alerts me when is the right time to fly drone.

weary summit
#

@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!

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.

Oh, my bad. Thought that was purely for the installation of it. Thanks!

@last plaza So you getting serious about this wine stuff huh? ๐Ÿ™‚

last plaza
#

@tidal bronze dead serious. Tried it already. Fantastic!!!

#

Good thing I bought, I can make room for things like those on my wine rack ๐Ÿ˜‚

tidal bronze
#

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.....

forest edge
#

wino-chat take 2

last plaza
#

lol - the racks are only 6-8 bottle racks. But two identical ones for the dining room on each side.

tidal bronze
#

But then again how you are planning to do it might be more accurate ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

whats the point of the rack other than decoration?

last plaza
#

True. I canโ€™t wait for spring weather. Stupid snow again today. Canโ€™t even go into my garage.

tidal bronze
#

Spring? It's summer already

last plaza
#

Rack is to organize things not for decoration. Al my wine bottles on are my formal dining table occupying space.

Wowza, it's 87 tomorrow. I was longing for few more 65 days

anyone in here use the unfi security gateways for home firewall?

last plaza
#

74-75 is ideal weather!

rain swift
#

I got my AP onto the controller, thinking about getting one of the firewalls to replace my old openBSD box

tidal bronze
#

USG >>>>> Run !!!!!

rain swift
#

ha, hahahaha

#

whats the issue with it

tidal bronze
#

Love everything else from them but USG is simply a shit show

brisk glen
#

Do not buy a USG at this point in time

last dirge
#

dat edgerouter doe

brisk glen
#

UDM or UDM pro

tidal bronze
#

Yep ER all day !

rain swift
#

udm?

last dirge
#

they make a 5 port don't they?

brisk glen
#

UMG is where it is at

last dirge
#

I got a rackmount ER8Pro

rain swift
#

so what would be a good firewall that has a nice gui and all

brisk glen
#

UMG is the USG replacement

#

Pfsense?

rain swift
#

maybe, heard they were jerks about a lot of stuff

tidal bronze
#

@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.

rain swift
#

I just wanna get a box and hook it up and have it get updated and stuff lol

brisk glen
#

Unifi is in a transition period

rain swift
#

ahh

last dirge
#

@tidal bronze automating runaway embers?

rain swift
#

so hold off a bit

brisk glen
#

UDM Pro also has the controller built in

tidal bronze
#

UDM Pro meh

brisk glen
#

But I would hold off for a few months

#

UMG is what is going to replace my USG

tidal bronze
#

@last dirge lol one day I will tackle that for now, to soak to the roof and walls.

rain swift
#

this UDM has a bunch of stuff I don;'t need or want

#

ahh

brisk glen
#

Thatโ€™s what the UMG is for

rain swift
#

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

brisk glen
#

Not out yet however

#

It would take you 4 mins to migrate

rain swift
#

woot

#

I can hold off for now

brisk glen
#

Not out yet however

#

Wow... Iโ€™m lagging

tidal bronze
#

What's not out?

brisk glen
#

I like the USG but I need more power

#

@strange brook the UMG

forest edge
#

@tidal bronze just tesla roof it lol

brisk glen
#

Aka the USG successor

tidal bronze
#

Oh no, @forest edge I don't want to be like Walmart trying to get money back for solar roofs

rain swift
#

I don't need a whole lot of power

#

my network is fairly small lol

brisk glen
#

... itโ€™s for IDS/IPS

forest edge
#

he's been giving them away lately, i've seen 6 youtube videos on it lately

rain swift
#

that would be fun

forest edge
#

it looks good, don't remember lifespan tho

brisk glen
#

@rain swift you want IPS

rain swift
#

I wouldn't hate it

rain swift
#

I also like all the stats the AP controller gives

#

I wanna see how much data everything is using, etc. etc.

brisk glen
#

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 ISOโ€™s

forest edge
#

the solar tiles are made diffrently @tidal bronze

#

and what I do get is

#

why haven't you people started buiding new homes underground?

tidal bronze
#

You would like that huh? LMAO

forest edge
#

being in cali you actually get more benifits than most by going underground

brisk glen
#

Flooding?

#

Lol

forest edge
#

flooding?

brisk glen
#

See Texas

forest edge
#

this isn't texas

tidal bronze
#

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!!!

forest edge
#

the earthquake is gonna get you regardless lol

#

but atleast till it does imagine how much you'll save on cooling cost

#

*save

tidal bronze
#

Just the cost of doing business in LA ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

going underground actually makes a lot of sense. not only for the fire aspect but the cooling aspect alone

tidal bronze
#

There is a reason why we don't have basements, underground transit etc

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

It's Cali, not mid-west, we don't believe in apocalypse shelters lol

forest edge
#

hell your average electric bill is almost a grand isn't it? lol

tidal bronze
#

It is ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

see

#

it makes sense to go underground

last plaza
#

Why do you get $1k electricity bill when you have 75F all year long? Arizona I understand

forest edge
#

air condiion

#

always what east thier grid apart

last plaza
#

Duh. I get that.

forest edge
#

eats

tidal bronze
#

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

last plaza
#

Itโ€™s got to be consumption AND...

forest edge
#

be the first quad, start the trend. go underground and plant a garden on top between your neighbors lol

tidal bronze
#

LMAO

#

With this kind of weather who in their right mind wants to be underground?

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

@last plaza consumption too, I take the blame for it as well. 67 is not recommended for HVAC ๐Ÿ™‚
