Covid19 is serious business though

maybe, they just don't know yet of anything

if it's only merely a stronger version of the coronavirus strains we've had all along then it won't be shit

but cause they don't know anything yet there is no telling lol

I'll just go home and eat some raw bacon then

It's very serious. Biggest concern is overwhelming the hospital system

#

guys, parent of a young kid under curfew here in Italy because of the epidemic ... no experience with onliine gaming ... little one wants to play Minecraft with a friend at his own house (because of the law everybody must stay at home) ... how can they chat together, via Discord? Thanks for any suggestion

unkempt night
#

Discord

#

How young are we talking?

midnight adder
#

hi scerstt can you suggest a guide or soemthing for me to set it up for them?

#

7 yrs

#

little kids

unkempt night
#

Ok, just be sure to monitor what they're doing on there

midnight adder
#

can you do a "room" or something only for them?

unkempt night
#

Actually you need to be 13 or older to sign up for discord

midnight adder
#

or maybe better a skype chat or similar?

#

I am 60 πŸ™‚

unkempt night
#

You could let him use your account? that way you can easily monitor everything going on

midnight adder
#

there's little I cannot signup for, even funerals πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

unkempt night
#

haha!

midnight adder
#

so I can suggest to the other's kid parent to get on Discord right?

unkempt night
#

Providing you monitor what they're doing and they're not adding anyone apart from eachother, sure

boreal pewter
#

Well on Discord they could at least create an own server without anyone else ever knowing the kids exist. And talk there. I just dunno about the age of registration part πŸ˜›

#

Probably still the most easy part of a chat... beside Skype

#

Just make sure they play no Fortnite. Ever. Trust me.

#

Maybe just block all possible Fortnite Domains on Router

clear ferry
#

I haven't used online chat in years outside of work

#

Used to host ventrilo and mumble servers though

#

Not sure if those are used still

scenic radish
#

Is discord not online chat?

Or has this all been work related

i used to host a ts3 and then a mumble server

#

Anyone using nagios to monitor an esxi host?

#

All my raspis were using the nrpe plugin to monitor but not sure how to install nrpe from source on an esxi host.

#

Or the nagios plugins for that matter. There are instructions for both but esxi is not one of the OS. Is there an OS that esxi resembles, like being able to follow Debian instructions for raspberry?

tidal bronze
#

Run snmp

green inlet
#

Welcome back? I can’t figure out hoe to do that. Setup snmp just like on a Debian/raspi system?

#

And nagios has a couple really nice esxi plugins

tidal bronze
#

Who you calling a hoe 🀣

#

Yes exactly

boreal pewter
#

IMO Nagios has been punched off years ago with Check_MK.... this should be the rather recommended up to date version of Nagios

tidal bronze
#

1 hour to get in to costco, 2 hours in the checkout line. No paper towels!!! Nice !

clear ferry
#

Nagios 🀒

#

@green inlet esxi is a proprietary operating system, it will not be like any other OS, since 4.1 atleast

#

Then you could treat it like rhel atleast

green inlet
#

That’s what I thought.

#

Check_MK_?

#

Quad, what are you monitoring with snmp? Do you know the MIBs.....well obviously, but can you provide them to me?

clear ferry
#

What are you wanting to monitor? Performance or hardware failures?

green inlet
#

Anything important 🀣

#

Prob a little of both. I already have a stable nagios instance which is why I would like to use it.

#

You have to remember, I am a bit of a hack

clear ferry
green inlet
#

Does anyone really need monitoring for a home network? I do it for the challenge

clear ferry
#

Cim providers it seems, but not sure if they are avaliable without license

green inlet
#

I saw that, I am in the process of using it. Not sure the plugin is available for 6.7

#

Thought I saw something last night where it wasn’t but can’t find it today

Atleast the API is not avaliable without a paid license

I run enterprise plus on everything, so not sure

β€œThe NHL has been attempting to follow the mandates of health experts and local authorities, while preparing for any possible developments without taking premature or unnecessary measures. However, following last night’s news that an NBA player has tested positive for coronavirus – and given that our leagues share so many facilities and locker rooms and it now seems likely that some member of the NHL community would test positive at some point – it is no longer appropriate to try and continue to play games at this time.

All the people with tickets would just get together and all get the virus at the same time so they wouldn't have to worry about it at the event and everyone coughing would just add to the noise...

I connected it to HK controller a long time ago

Now it's even better with local push

green inlet

So does that mean Home will know the status of devices like google does?

scenic radish

I made a custom version of HK controller with a lower scan interval (10 sec instead of 60) because I needed more precision

Now I don't need that

#

What do you mean @green inlet?

green inlet
#

Local push and Aysnc. What does that mean?

scenic radish
#

HomeKit controller was local polling only until 107 beta 0

#

It also only allowed one update at a time, now parallel updates are possible with async

last plaza
#

@green inlet there are four different types of modes - cloud poll, cloud push, local poll, local push. polling is usually interval based, push means instant updates!

#

local is always better and faster than cloud

scenic radish

Polling == home assistant requests device updates at a set interval
Push == device sends updates as they're available

Yes....that’s what I meant. That just recently got added with google right.

I think the idea is to do a temp lockdown for 30 days and hope everyone who has it can't reach anyone else who dosen't and it fades out. but instead of saying that's thier plan they shut down some things that cause some companies and people to panic and lockdown then a week later do something else that causes other companies and people to panic and lockdown lol

Ok, that is just human stupidity. The amount of time it takes to lift a roomba onto a counter, turn it on (at which point it has no clue where it is), to vacuum up what takes minutes with a sponge.

a lockdown period should be nation wide but even then, after that two weeks and people start traveling again.. guess what lol

It used to be glass, replaced it with acrylic after the baby started climbing

forest edge
#

ah yea was gonna say, I had replaced mine as well with acrylic

clear ferry
#

Yeah, paid $60 to get acrylic cut to size for it

#

So not too worried

I have homeassistant installed through docker, but I don't really use it. I really want to like it and use it, but I just can't figure it out even though I consider myself pretty tech savvy. I think that maybe I just don't get the purpose of it.

#

Bringing all your smart devices together and doing automation across them?

mental moth
#

I don't have many smart appliances, but what I want to do with it is mainly interactive dashboard. Like for example not too long ago I spent good amount of time trying to setup the dashboard to show how much milk we have left. Like a simple button that also shows the number of milk cartons we have and tapping the button would decrease the number. Found it to be almost impossible.

scenic radish
#

Yeah, basically devices that can't talk to each other by themselves can essentially talk to each other if there's an integration for them

mental moth
#

So I guess I'm just looking at it the wrong way?

clear ferry
#

You want five removable magnets on your fridge

#

It sounds like

mental moth
#

Well another thing I tried to do and also could not figure out was: A simple button that would execute a shell script.

#

Or a button that toggles between "baby is sleeping" and "baby woke up" and maybe a gauge next to it showing portion of day baby slept and portion of day baby was awake. Like these kind of things

#

Is home assistant not the right tool for such things?

last dirge
#

not by itself

#

could integrate it with something like grafana to get better analytics

mental moth
#

I know there is nodered dashboard I could use for such things, but I just have a feeling those are basic things HA should be able to do on its own as well

#

UX wise I assume that I could open HA > Create a button > assign an action to it and this action could be a shell script or a curl, rest or ping or something similar. But when I go to HA web ui, it only lets me search for devices on my network

tidal bronze
#

Your use cases, very doable. Simple, no.

mental moth
#

So my use cases are not something HA is natively good at?

tidal bronze
#

Depends on how good your are at converting logic to usable scenarios on HA

mental moth
#

What would be the way to get for example a simple button to execute a shell script?

tidal bronze
#

Setup input boolean, automation triggers the script. Same for your baby sleep/wake.

mental moth
#

I guess I just need to start thinking about HA in a different way and I'll get it eventually. Thanks for the guidance πŸ™‚
