anybody a web admin?

apache, specifically

clever mortar
#

Not for a long time thankfully

#

I only remember just enough to be dangerous...

last dirge
#

I'm hacking through a single page app for demo purposes and the deep links aren't working

#

so the URL is like /zh/drivers

#

drivers is virtual and not an actual folder

#

is there an easy way to capture everything past a first token like /zh/ or /en/ and then tack that on the end of a redirect?

clever mortar
#

I think so - pretty sure I've done that in the distant past

so xiaomi came out with a "smart light switch" to work with smart bulbs that involves a screw on the backside of a plastic rocker that makes the switch "bounce" back to the on position so the smart bulbs will always have power lol

Does anyone know of a sensor that you could attach to a cat/dog flap and let you know when the door was opened and the direction of the opening

hey all, can someone please explain to me the need for "@classmethod" in python. I watched the video many times and read guides, still unsure the usage for it. just not clicking

Have you watched corey Schafer @vale ore

That might have it. Otherwise it might be in a decorators video

Has anybody installed a Shelly 1pm into a US light switch that can share a how to video or guide?

The instructions provided are very minimal.

I have found some videos online but the comments all mention that the video maker is installing the device incorrectly.

#

@dusty cosmos i have, follow the pamphlet instructions

#

course i literally just told the woman the throw the boxes away 2 days ago so i don't have that thing infront of me lol

dusty cosmos
#

Thanks, I have the pamphlet but I'm not the most experienced with reading wiring diagrams, I'm hoping someone makes a video I can follow.

#

Is this video correct?

forest edge
#

I haven't seen a video that shows it cause all the ones i saw they did weird stuff, plus I think they made like a revision at some point cause some of the 1pm's the pinouts are diffrent places

dusty cosmos
#

I have the non ul version

#

sw and L1 connect to the existing light switch poles, doesn't really matter which goes where. L goes to Hot (load) N goes to Neutral and O goes to the Hot line leading to the light

Ok so it sounds like that video is incorrect then.

@forest edge daylight saving almost makes sense above the Arctic circle, but for the rest of the world, meh

forest edge
#

we gain an hour and 12 mins of daylight over the course of this month, without daylight savings fallback then push forward the sunrise/sunset would mess with many people in various ways

it's more than just digits on a clock lol

Those puny humans should go above the Arctic circle both in summer and winter then PepeLightsabers

well if your born there, spend your whole life there that's diffrent

Research has shown that the disruption of moving the clocks is much worse than when the sun goes up and down

disruption to office workers maybe

It's just annoying tbh

That's why the argument is there, office workers dont care when the sun is up

EU is abolishing it now i think

ok so in today's world people health are worse than it's ever been. so if you ask me this crap is picking at straws

hushed basalt
#

Daylight savings is gross

#

I'm glad my state dumped it

#

I mean in Summer the days are so long why do you need an extra hour

clear ferry
#

@forest edge you mean my 8 sick days in 13 years ? lmao

forest edge
#

well you wouldn't feel that way if computers were never invented lol

#

@clear ferry there is no arguing health in general is worse than it has ever been. regardless if we live longer than say 100 years ago or whatever, overall health is declining while new health issues continue to climb

#

we eat worse, exercise less, air is worse, water is worse

#

most clocks auto set themselves this day and age. people just don't want to deal with losing an hour of sleep. people can't drive as is so trying to blame DST is a joke. as i said, city people have no use for it but everyone else does. but if the mass veto's it, it will get veto'd but I personally like the one thing I mentioned about it and not having it will throw me off prob the rest of my life lol

hushed basalt
#

Do you have many SREs in norwat

#

Farmers hate DST

forest edge
#

no they dont

hushed basalt
#

Try having dairy cattle come in an hour later by clock

clear ferry
#

I see multiple job adverts for it by googling it @hushed basalt

hushed basalt
#

All your animals work on sun time but trucks come an hour earlier

forest edge
#

well coming from a family of farmers never heard such issues 😉

hushed basalt
#

Dairy farmers here hate it

forest edge
#

never did dairy

#

but cattle in geberal came when food was put out regardlessd the hour

wet pilot
#

Livestock farmers have major issues with it

forest edge
#

omg

hushed basalt
#

What's the upside

wet pilot
#

None

hushed basalt
#

Having an hour more sunlight in the evening to wake up an hour darker

wet pilot
#

None benefits, major downsides

forest edge
#

it adjusts over the course of the summer

wet pilot
#

Which would still be the case if you didn't move the clocks

#

So gaining nothing and causing issues

forest edge
#

if you didn't adjust the clocks you wouldn't have as much daylight with the time frame

#

that was it's whole point

#

thats why farmers don't hate DST

hushed basalt
#

??

#

Days are longer in summer.

forest edge
#

exactly

hushed basalt
#

Why do you need to shift an hour when the day is already so long

forest edge
#

so the actual "working" class who spends their whole day to make money also needs to come home and still do work. now for farmers the extra time during the evening meant they could still do things within normal business hours while still having daylight to do things before the sun set

#

thats why DST has held it's ground

#

now everyone else who don't have to do those things, don't get that

#

but those people need it

#

if your bank sudddenly decided to close an hour earlier when normally you could make it there after work, it would impact you negativvily weouldn't it?

clear ferry
#

People go to banks?

#

I haven't been in one in 12 years

forest edge
#

forest edge
#

farmers in general seem to get screwed over and over for the past few decades

#

doesn't make sense

#

I rent my farm out to a a guy who does cattle for slaughter and holy hell am I glad I missed having to do what he does by one generation

hushed basalt
#

If the bank closes at 4pm

#

And you can only work during the daylight

#

Daylight starts an hour later with DST

#

So i don't get how it's a positive

forest edge
#

the daylight shifts over the course of the summer

#

so right now in march, it dosen't make sense

#

from your point of view

#

this day in age it's harder to picture how it impacted things because everything is different now. There is no real argument aside from the minority who still use it and those who profit from it so that's why it's being done away with little by little. like for me, it's a minor thing that I will lose so that's why i don't care that much lol but when i was a kid, it was a whole different story, it impacted more people

#

why did half of AU use DST and the other half didn't?

#

I don't get that at all

tough igloo
#

We have a larger natural variation in daylight hours I guess. For example in Darwin NT, no point with DST as the actual daylight hours don’t vary much during the year. However the further south you get the more they do. Some states have trialed it off and some have always had it

forest edge
#

ok that makes sense

tough igloo
#

The closer you are to the Equator the less it makes sense. Same goes for the close you are to the poles. There’s a sweet spot I guess that some people argue it works for

forest edge
#

can't imagine it being around for too much longer anywhere

#

norway will adopt it after everyone else ditches it cause that's how they roll @clear ferry

tough igloo
#

Yeah I’ve lived in different parts of Aus and I’m not really bothered. I don’t care either way if they keep it or remove it

clear ferry
#

We will drop it when the EU drops it

#

So next year PepeLightsabers

hushed basalt
#

Our states are very wide

#

Which also means a larger variation from solar noon and clock noon

forest edge
#

are you implying the sun doesn't shift over the course of a year? l;ol

hushed basalt
#

It's up longer. But it doesn't "shift"

#

So it rises earlier in summer and sets later in summer

light trout
#

It's constantly shifting, it a burning ball of : 🔥

hushed basalt
#

Daylight savings is a shift.

#

One day it'll shift out and envelope us all

#

Except for Norwat because even runaway fusion doesn't want to go there

clear ferry
forest edge
#

DST would have to be dynamic to keep up with the intentions of what some like about DST and also argued for. I tried looking up a decent article that explain what I grew up experiencing but they all seem to center around it being a retail conspiracy lol

hushed basalt
#

If anything DST would be better in winter

forest edge
#

I did see your dairy cow article lmao

hushed basalt
#

So you have some daytime after work

#

Even if you'd have to drive to work in pitch black

forest edge
#

when i got dragged out of bed early in the morning to do "work" it didn't matter if it was daylight out or not cause the tradition was always drinking coffee and bs'ing for like an hour before doing any actual work

#

but having the day stretch on longer in the evening was beneficial

I live like a hermit and never see the sun anyway so what’s it matter to me. I time everything by bowel movements

Anyone know if it's possible to see the endpoints or whatever IFTTT uses to be triggered by an external event? For instance, I want to trigger an automation when ComEd announces a peak time savings event, and there's an IFTTT trigger for this, but I don't want to use IFTTT

clear ferry
#

How do they announce it?

scenic radish
#

Obviously IFTTT must be made aware of these events somehow but I can't find anything in ComEd doesn't have an API that shows it

Email and text message

I could hack together something with that

Email should be doable somehow

But I'm not looking for home assistant support here, just wondering if there's a way to see what IFTTT either polls or is pushed

For ha, sure, but it's a 7 year old mid range desktop CPU inside a propitary box, that you can perhaps dual boot with a beta firmware

Not sure what os you are planning to run

If you are willing to invest a little more you could probably get a 4 year old newer CPU with a standard x86 environment

if i put the server in the toilet or in the shower , maybe i wont hear it

now , what do you have ?

hushed basalt

A synology ds916+

yes passmark < 2000 is not only for transcode , it will mean in general it is slow

Do you want something that has 4 hdds?

mild moss

4hds would be perfect , but it add a lot to the budget

#

i did my "perfect" step on amazon , ended up at 320€

#

asrock 5005u+ hotswap case , pico psu , 4gb ram

hushed basalt
#

If you get a second hand desktop SFF

mild moss

so it has hdmi2 , 4 sata , usb3, toslink

hushed basalt
#

Can fit 1-2 hdds and you can probably get it for 100 euro

mild moss
#

i looked at sff and ussf , i think all are with fan ?

#

there are a lot of them for sell in uk

hushed basalt
#

With a 4th core i7, 8gb ram and 128gb ssd

#

They all have fans but they're designed to run quiet

#

You wouldn't hear it if you put it in a slightly vented cupboard

#

You're not going to get something fanless unless you custom build and go with mobile grade cpus

mild moss
#

yes

#

i did the same build on amazon without the hdd hotswap , and it ends up being 200€

#

because for 50€ the case includes the cpu , so that s 70 less from the picopsu , and the case itself is cheaper

#

it tick all cases , but i d need somethign next to it , so maybe a fantech/raidsonic

hushed basalt
#

You don't need hotswap for home

mild moss
#

true, but i didn't found a small case for 4 drives

hushed basalt
#

I wouldn't try to strive for fanless perfection

#

Just stick to big quiet fans

#

120mm fans marketed for quiet PCs will be inaudible

#

Fractal Design have good cases with sound dampening material

#

I'd put your best foot forward on case and PSU as they can last 10+ years

clever mortar
#

Yup, low power CPU - larger case - big slow fans

mild moss
#

thats the 200€build : Case ITX-601 ITX Noir, 60 W / Crucial CT4G4SFS824A 4Go / Asrock j5005b Mini-ITX Gemini Lake

#

i saw the node 304 case for 6 drives, too big

clever mortar
#

I've a 25W Xeon with a power supply that's not fully fanless, but almost never spins up the fans. With some low noise fans, it's only the disks you hear

hushed basalt

You could even solid state all the things nowadays

Yup, though 10 TB of SSD would be costly 😄

Good quality case, good quality PSU with hybrid passive/active cooling, and big case fans from silent PC companies

@hushed basalt my SSD makes noise I'm sure of it

My last computer would make noise when I scrolled a webpage

Anything with A frequency in it will make noise, it's just ususally it's low enough and high frequency enough we can't hear it

same thing , it s years since i didn t hear it

I'm so used to datacenters with thousands of spinning drives I frankly don't care

any thoughts on grabbing where IFTTT gets the information from for one of its triggers? For instance, I want to trigger an automation when ComEd announces a peak time savings event, and there's an IFTTT trigger for this, but I don't want to use IFTTT

#

Obviously IFTTT must be made aware of these events somehow but I can't find anything in ComEd doesn't have an API that shows it

#

i actually emailed ComEd about it because they have an API for their hourly pricing program

last plaza
#

I use IFTTT a lot.

scenic radish
#

i don't want to set a base url in my config, otherwise for this case i might consider it

#

but it made me think... the information has to come from somewhere, whether IFTTT is polling the service or is pushed some information

last plaza
#

I don’t expose my HA to internet either. So the base url won’t work for me. It is only my HA making webhook call to ifttt than the other way around.

scenic radish
#

well... mine's exposed, but i'm using NGINX

last plaza
#

Ok..

#

If they have api, why not consume it as-is?

scenic radish
#

they don't

#

they have an API for hourly pricing, not peak time savings

#

or if they do for peak time savings, i can't find it

last plaza
#

i actually emailed ComEd about it because they have an API for their hourly pricing program
I understood as they have an api.

scenic radish
#

"hourly pricing program"

#

not peak time savings. two different things

last plaza
#

I see. Not for peak time 😊

scenic radish
#

yeah

#

which... i almost wonder if they'd consider making one for PTS because it's much simpler than hourly pricing

and there are only events like... 5 times a year lol

so this is me being... very particular and itching to automate turning my thermostat off during one of these events lol

It's possible the webhook is on the ComEd side too

I work in emergency medical services as a volunteer gig. I'm surprised I haven't gotten much from my patients over the past 13 years. Watch, I will be the one guy who gets a covid patient and become a patient myself.

@drowsy kelp I admire what the medical staff have to go through in these situations! They are like heroes- much like firefighters and army personnel.

@hushed basalt Does Austrilia have the usual Red Top Tabloids which can be repurposed?

hushed basalt
#

What?

#

Ah the murdoch press

#

Funnily enough people used to use stuff like that for toilet paper before what we know as toilet paper was made

#

I think our murdoch rubbish is more integrated into the mainstream papers though

I did see something about a newpaper somewhere publishing issues with extra blank pages to be used as toilet paper?

@hushed basalt you can get a bidet converter for cheap on amazon that doesn't require power. Slips under your current toilet seat. I got one for like $27 USD. It uses the cold water line. I thought it would be too cold. It's actually fine. Wakes you up a little in the dead of winter though. They make one that attaches to the hot and cold water line (if close to a sink). You will still have to wait for the water to warm up for it to get warm.

I would use it as a notification display

they all red dot?

last plaza
#

They are all green, more colors available. I saw something on AliExpress with individually addressable leds. Yes, You can use it for notifications.

#

Wanted to try one first. If it comes out good, I can order more. Best part is you can connect them in serial, make it a long led display - like the ones you see on billboards.

yea an rgb one would be cool, could have it flash solid colors as a notification in addition to text if wanted ect

Yes. They have them.

everyone needs to quarantine themselves for a month so we can get rid of this

its crazy how many people say "fuck it" and travel when they have it

Kids are conductors of virus as they like to touch everything they see in general 😊

there have been cases of people ignoring quarantine orders...thats what im most cautious of

one guy in japan wantd to "spread it"

i get that things are blown out of proportion but when you have people like that...is it worth risking it?

getting quarantined on vacation or a trip is horrible

In 2014, the world avoided a horrific global outbreak of Ebola, thanks to thousands of selfless health workers — plus, frankly, thanks to some very good luck. In hindsight, we know what we should have done better. So, now's the time, Bill Gates suggests, to put all our good id...

you would think we would have something more than what we actually have in place by now. even if it wasn't some movie type thing he describes anything that would severely slow or even prevent of the spread would be nice lol

hell country lockdowns are completely doable and with tech being as it is, it's not like we would just backrupt or die or something if people couldn't leave or arrive for a few lol

guys which one of the 8 dev threads should my issue with integrating a second Rainbird controller into HA go? Each one says not for support, but the issue is that HA does not support 2 Rainbird Controllers at the same time.

clever mortar
#

Well, you'd open a feature request on the forum

#

Unless you're going to be developing that support...

silent canyon
#

so I am not asking for a new feature, the integration instruction state how to add two controllers to HA. Unfortunately that guide appears to be widely inaccurate or something has changed since it was initially written.

#

hope that clarification helped

If following the docs doesn't work, open an issue
