I would guess that a lot of people are going crazy from not taking their medication and/or the added stress
I would think so.
@clear ferry here I made a new emoji for you
my photoshop skills are not very good, but it is a start
atx would prefer that to be a cherry
Yep
lol
@last plaza is giving jinja a rest today and on top of his PS ninja game
:rip: darksky
Dark Sky’s API will continue to function “through the end of 2021,” but Grossman says Dark Sky won’t be accepting new signups to use the API. That means that, eventually, third-party apps won’t be able to use Dark Sky’s weather data in their own apps.
old 😛
It's even in #announcements
i r gud at reading
i actualyl scrolled up in here a bit but apparently not far enough
hopefully before july 1st someone makes a new animated one
cause I actually like the animated one
@tidal bronze did all the neighbors come outside and stare? I bet they did with how uneventful it sounds like your neck of the woods has been lol
@forest edge no one ever comes out, when i went out no one was there.
that looks... too graphic 😛
lol
I couldn't tell what is what in there lol
yea not sure what the round ball looking thing is at the end of the vomit
I was staring at the cleftal horizon 😉

which ones?
S52e24-26
you mean the CBS shows?
they are actually 44 minutes with 16 minutes of ads. They should rename the shows to 44 minutes
I loved TiVo where you could skip the ads, I no longer have it
I have been downloading TV shows for 20 years, I have never seen ads 
best way to watch shows - great quality and no ads
sonarr
I have been downloading TV shows for 20 years, I have never seen ads :lmao:
@clear ferry so you been a pirate for 20 years? arrrrgh!
sonarr
@sour escarp runs on Windows?
i dunno, i run it on linux
@forest edge more, downloaded movies since 97 and games since 94
@sour escarp rub sonarr and radarr in freenas jails, it's nice
anyone has the 2D car game that we used to play in the arcades?
@clear ferry about time someone sends you to your maximum security prison where you sit outside next a pond feeding ducks
That is only for the axe murderes @forest edge
what do pirate get? an air hockey table with an endless supply of TAB soda?
typical
And ISP don't give out ips
I really don't get the point of having a chat room next to a live stream video cause the chat moves so fast you can't read anything lol
https://youtu.be/1FzumH75whY?t=116 Road Fighter
Anyone using underwater led pucks?
@last plaza the 2:30 mark is quad out looing for wine
@dull chasm or fish tank pond guys ?
I have a floating led ball thing for my hot tub, that's about it
they make them for hot tubs, i seen them
some you can even use a remote with to change the colors while they underwater
@forest edge found it here https://www.retrogames.cz/play_065-NES.php?language=EN love the old video game sounds
nevver played road fighter but I loved excite bike
I should change the search terms then.
I've been fascinated by the new Royal Enfield Continental GT and Interceptor.... might get one
@tidal bronze need to refuel your google fu
they look nice
Something like that but those are for boats. 🙄
you want it wired?
Yes.
put it in your tub and see - if it doesn't electrocute you, you are fine
@sour escarp runs on Windows?
@last plaza yeah I run it on Windows
@tough igloo just downloaded it as well... is that any good?
I think it’s the bees knees as they say
It’s very customisable to you can tweak it to what quality etc you want for each show
Do you use torrents or Usenet?
If you have a bunch of private trackers I would also recommend Jackett
just the public trackers mostly
Allows you to integrate all those trackers with Sonarr. Also if you want movies I would go with Radarr (it’s a fork of Sonarr)
ha! there is Radarr? let me check that up too...
Yeah and Lidarr for music and Bazarr for subtitles I think 😂
there is radarr integration with HA as well...
for comics
Yeah Mylar is pretty good
lol - too many of them!
on android i highly recommend the app NZB360
does nice integration with most of these services
I find plex does an ok job of subtitles but sometimes they are just rubbish
yea i dig how bazarr lets you pick the rating for the subtitles
i just wish it had a foreign audio only option
seems that doesnt exist
Yeah I should fit it up again and get it operating well
Nzb360 rocks.
@tough igloo do you use Organizr?
🧐 haven’t heard that before... let me check it out
its awesome, neat tool to integrate everything
and 1 url to remember for everything lol
the dev is looking into adding ombi and tautulli
Right on
yea he opened up a subreddit and takes request in there
Wow that looks good. Thanks for the recommendation @shy comet
but on a browser i love usin organizr
np! it can be like a one stop shop for everything
the home page can combine radarr and sonarr calendars into 1
including lidarr
you can search plex and ombi directly from homepage too
I use lidarr a lot. Must look into it
@shy comet how are you handling old series ?
old series?
As in removing after x days
oh like after its watched? shit
either when im low on space or when the current season ends
its all manual though
i use tautulli to tell me if my users watched their request
Or got
or rick and morty lol
I wish there was a way to tag by series
yea keep forever or delete after watched
Tag by importance and depending on space remove less important ones.
The typical DVR policy
ah yea
that would be great
cuz trying to add more space can be a pain unless you just keep adding externals 😂
I don't want to do that for TV. Such a waste of money. Specially on raid
yea, espeically when your trying to hoard 4k hdr movies lol
I think TV only I am at 16TB and not going to add a byte more to that
I noticed they are starting to release Star Wars 4k blurays btw
like the old school ones, so better quality than what D+ is offering
So from masters then?
i didnt look into that actually
but TrueHD Atmos > DD+ Atmos 😄
that alone to me makes it better 😛
But those are all AI based panning
No way they had that many microphones when capturing old school ones.
to my understanding I believe its similar to what DSU does when your receiver is upmixing
so like anything that was sent to height channel gets routed to atmos
Exactly. AI based mapping and pan
I need to look into bit rates of those captures. Will be interesting 😀
Must ask a buddy of mine.
TBH its mind blowing what AVRs can do these days with analyzing direction of travel real time.
yea for reals, im very happy with my setup
just cant turn it up as loud at night time cuz of my son lol
i also have a 15" sub lol
so normally when a big explosion happens ill look over at hte monitor and if the audio jumps high i turn it down
lol dont think the wife will approve of that
damn lol
well my sub is good enough so u can hear it down the street so i think im good lol
It's not the loudness but direction
i got a big one cuz my room is 20 ft long so needed to push more air
yea direction i can see that
man we ordered instacart 5 days ago......they are just now shopping our order
Oh how I miss my sub
Depending on the frequency and Q factor 1 direction will not resonate at same dB
how the hell did you order a funnel cake at 11pm and get it in 30 min LOL
Dude that was so awesome.
i was telling my wife she was amazed too LOL
Churro with strawberry and condensed milk dip
where did u order that from?
Some place in Northridge was the only place open late.
the day we start ordering in i got a lot of stuff to get but right now were just doing home cooked stuff
oh nice they will deliver to me
gotta find them 😛
Let me check
Dshokouhi, I have to install windows 7 and then windows 10 over the top?
@green inlet yea you gotta have a valid windows 7 install and do the upgrade from there to windows 10
and if you have windows 7 pro itll upgrade to windows 10 pro
@tidal bronze awesome, i think though we may use our deep fryer and make one tonight lol....wife doesnt want to order in yet
I clean all the containers and throw all plastic ware
yea she knows that but shes gotta work up to the thought of it lol
my cousins wife is a biophysicist who studied Pandemics and shes not eating out so we are taking her lead on this lol
I hear you. I am always on uber eats but now cut down as much as possible. Trying to support local businesses as well
yea thats waht i wanted to do
Also gave a good surprise to the uber driver. They deserve it.
does anyone have experience with gpu passthrough and why my system just freezes when I start a vm?
@shy comet does the free upgrade tool still work?
@last dirge last i used it was in january just before they killed windows 7 and it still works
looking online it seems to still work
that might be worth doing while cooped up
yea good time lol
it still works
one of these days ill think about upgrading Blue Iris 4 to 5 lol
what kind of hardware are you running it on?
right now its on a i5 second gen, 16gb of ram and ssd
do u think upgrading from BI4 to BI5 will help with cpu load?
if the software is more efficient it could
how is your CPU handling it? i'm running motioneye on a VM with only 3 cameras and its current CPU usage is about 250%
eventually i'd like to put motion and tensorflow on separate hardware more optimized for processing video stream
Hey guys just setup HA and I'm trying to setup the SSH add-on with a key. But I'm getting an Invalid YAML error when I paste in my key. What's the formatting for this?
i'm not sure where you ask now but I want to say #330944238910963714 ?
maybe someone can correct me on that, i'm confused myself by the name change
Thanks
@sour escarp it sits around 15-20% and I have 6 cameras...about to add the 7th any day now lol
also you were correct on the channel suggestion
that isn't too bad
Woah! When did this happen? That's, like, the one windows feature I've been wanting.
or use Moom
It was introduced in El Capitan
went to grocery shopping after about 8+ days.... stores are almost empty and hardly noticed one person in each isle.... full stock though
@last plaza got all you wanted ? Stores empty here as well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/frxs8f/demand_and_patience_for_innout_drive_thrus_still/ thats a CRAZY line
@shy comet just FWIW, you can use a Windows 7 KEY to install WIndows 10 and it will activate. You don't need an activated Win7 to upgrade to 10. I did this exact thing twice a few weeks ago
@tidal bronze I got more than what I wanted.. I hardly bought anything - just milk, bread and some basic stuff.
fully stocked up, hardly any people
I will have to go tomorrow for milk.
I spent like max 10 minutes in the store - It has never been the same. everyone looks scared
At the rate its going I'm scared too.
yea and its about to get worse
especially with how dumb pepole are being
LA had to shut down farmers market cuz they were packed
new york was all packed watching the navy ship come in
churches holding masses with full attendance everywhere
pastors still wanting to hold services
it is also the population I guess - LA is highly crowded
so many ignorant people
im guessing churches will be packed for easter in 2 weeks
we have passover coming up and nobody is doing a sedar in the family or anything
gonna be interesting this year lol
lol - usually numbers go up quickly as soon as there is some sort of mass gathering
I'm glad Ohio governor called off the Arnold event - it was perfect time, as corona virus cases were just popping up in early March here.... glad he did that, otherwise we would have people from all over the world for that event
scary - it is like 500 yards from where I work... extremely concerning at the time.
now darksky is going, what are you guys using?
they estimate 100k-250k dead by june and tahts taking in account the average person following the mitigation guidlines
@rare condor
if less people follow it and go to church and do this other crap like what happened with madi gras it will be evven higher but they are hoping more people will follow it and the numbers will be lower
@forest edge so 1/5 of those who die from Cancer and Heart disease each year in the US, in context its a lot but not devastating
@tidal bronze haha
it's alot when you factor in the preventable aspect of it
@forest edge problem is you can't fix stupid. that's when nature comes in and takes care of them.
@last plaza how many cams are you running through FFMPEG?
four.
@last plaza if it were just those people then that be fine, but they infect others before they go out which is the problem
Have you tried sequencing? @last plaza
@forest edge certainly but its good to have perspective
@forest edge well, if you know someone is stupid, stay away from them 😉
@last plaza how do you know the lady in the grocery store at the cashier infront of you is stupid till it's too late? lol
lets set up a pool, because I think all of your guesses on number of deaths is just feeding into the media lies.
or the guy who's fixing your meal at a take out joint etc
@forest edge when in doubt, assume they are stupid
lol so never leave your home again.,. got it
lmao
I left home to grab some quick groceries - walked away from people, walked through empty isles where there is no traffic, and avoid talking and eye contact
really quick in and out
Yep
we will cross that bridge when the time comes - We can't do anything now for the fall virus
lets deal with what we have now and figure out next steps
@rain swift do you have a source to get the truth about the pandemic?
you'll be avoiding people like a pro for months to come then as you exit the men's restroom one day someone will brush up against you and cough then you'll be doomed!
LMAO
@forest edge avoid public bathrooms - pee in bottle if need be
32oz gatorade it is
or dont go out when you feel like peeing then 😛
Any of them in CA?
nah, south florida lol
yikes
well that explains it, southren nurses and thier voodoo medical practices
see that movement now of people video taping their local hospitals
?
even in brooklyn they aren't packed out
the stories of all beds fool are trash lies by the media
and not having enough machines, and all that
you saying it's all a conspiracy?
Well so far, at least for me media has been at least 75% accurate. I will reserve my comments regarding the rest
its not fake
its just not oh muh god we're all gonna die give up all your rights and hide in your house.
Trump says cali is doing great considering
I would rather not hear his name
lol
you have to know something about crowd control. sometimes scaring people is a good strategy if that keeps all the idiots off of streets in order to avoid major pandemic.
I dunno if yelling BOMB is such a good idea tho
most responsible people are going to be responsible anyway - it is the ID10Ts that need controlled
Yep getting the message across to idiots is still under heavy research
I want to say something, but as a Mod, I can't start forbidden topic 😂
lol
anyhooo.... things are okay in the stores today - that's a good sign
something to do with an orange monkey?
lol no comments
on a sad note my uni dorm is still having parties :/
@rare condor get the hell outta there
corona party is all the rave right now
if you care about you or your loved ones, do us a favor, report and get the hell out
@last plaza I'm not going, that would be both stupid and apathic to society and loved ones
you also have the moral duty to report
you sure they aren't allw earing hazmat suits and dancing 6ft apart?
lol
lol dude
@forest edge I got this message from a friend, "mate. hooking up with latina chick tonight, u should be here (omitted)"
so no not staying apart
it runs on 18650 batteries, and I got a ton of them
@rain swift add that to your shopping list, and survival list
why is it $180?
well.. having been there the sex drive of a college student will make just about anyone do some real dumb shit lol
I have this one, works good.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0104J57GS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@forest edge regardless its not fair when you endanger my life too, given he is in same room as me I can't isolate from him, so his choices in pact me
I have this one... It is great 🙂 https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/725.html
I understand completely lol
and thus people around me I care about
that thing is huge
That is because it is a transceiver not just a receiver...
anyhow given darksky is dying I need to find a new provider
I'm a Ham operator
cured?
got till july 1st till darksky becomes unusable
Glad not using DS for any automatons anymore.
@forest edge 2021 or 2020
@river rune you know who else here is a king HAM operator? @tidal bronze
@rare condor 2020
wow thats soon
@last plaza you missed my earlier question 🙂 Are you using ffmpeg in sequence mode? 4 cams 1 after the other?
I answered it - I have 4 streams going all the time
I mean on the display end. Like the good old multiplexer days.
I have two chrome casts at home that are playing all four streams (in rotation mode)
cool.
yup - two chromecasts
What's the lag like from 1 to the other?
I am planning on getting another portable TV and attach more chromecasts there
4 to 5 seconds max so far
So you are displaying cam 1 - 2 -3 -4 - 1 etc...
smaller TVs are more expensive than the big ass TVs. most people buy big ones, so they mass manufacture big ones
1 stream per chromecast?
@tidal bronze 1, 2, 1, 2... on one monitor with HDMI input, 3,4,3,4,...etc on another monitor that has HDMI input as well
@forest edge I rotate the streams - max two streams are played at any given time
is there nothing that will combine all 4 streams into a grid and make it one single stream?
there are softwares, but somehow they are extremely cpu intensive
Copy. I am trying to replicate the usual NVR HDMI out using FFMPEG
1 - 2 -3 - 4 sequence running at all times 5 sec int.
Motion interrupts the seq. Let's say 7 seconds
No motion for 15 seconds resume seq.
every time I switch stream, there is at least 2 or 3 second lag, otherwise everything is good.
That's the bummer 😦 not smooth
yup
Honestly I wish there was an easier way for these things. It's 2020 🙂
I was considering moving to NVR currently use IP cameras but looking for something better than motioneye. Thinking NVR is better idea
NVR makes life a snap. But making use of existing streaming devices to display stuff not so much.
motioneye is designed to be basic and simple
when you want more complex control you havve no choice to but go with something else
Ffmpeg has hwaccel options
I am testing a compute stick with VLC + Event Ghost best solution I found so far. Fastest HA to Stream Start
@forest edge sure but what is the best option in your opinion for cameras
NVR kit with ethernet output?
all boils down to what you want. I think a decent NVR software on a capable PC is better than an actual NVR
I have to disagree
NVR your limited on options
Nopes
or your paying 3x as much
@forest edge sure but there isn't much good software on PCs - esp. on Linux
i hate to break it to you but most NVR software sucks as well
@tidal bronze What would you recommend?
I dunno last I checked there were a whole lot, no idea which ones are worth a crap but certianly alot more out now then there was a few years ago
the really GOOD NVR software cost money, a lot of it
i hate to break it to you but most NVR software sucks as well
@sour escarp I 100% agree!
i've done a lot of camera work and been to ISC west numerous times
there is no great perfect solution for small SMB / individuals
Well most 16CH NVR's are 300 to 400 now of course you need to add HDD. I am not brand loyal on NVR so anything decent would do. But cameras I would highly recommend HIK since you have full access to binary sensors like line crossing, intrusion detection etc direct from the camera,.
iSpyConnect any good?
probably not
😛
i'm willing to bet blue iris is probably about the best bang for your buck from what I can tell although it sucks that it has to be on windows
i'm personally using motioneye and it's ok
you can add more complex controls for your cameras in motioneye too
200 was the cheapest NVR I evver seen that had any decent output options and that a 4ch lol
@rare condor not many "good" consumer grade NVR softwares. The HikVision comes with a software, it is terrible
yah they call VMS and it is terrible
ok why is Swann so common?
lol
because they sell it at costco?
you better off deploying it on a beefy hardware and transcode your RTSP to whatever youwant
last time I used there gear it was terrible
@last plaza Currently that is what I am doing
annoyingly all my lans meet at my lower speced server in garage which means its always under transcoding load
watching prepper videos on YouTube - they are hilarious, and in a way they are on the same insane level of Joe Exotic! extremes 🙂
Are you done with the Tiger?
I watched the whole series in day and half
Now reddit is overflowing with tiger stuff
ofc, it was well made.... unfortunate that the guy lost so much of footage, it would have been a bombshell if he has those videos
it was "accidental" that all the tape got lost and burned in fire overnight
that joe exotic use to do shows at a mall here where i live decades ago
he looked weird then too
So that's where you got all your jokes @forest edge
ohhhh
lol
and here i thought he was your father
hmmmkl
lol
all his "gay" husbands were cheating on him with other women - it can't get any worse than that! 🙂
nxtlvl
they mentioned about incident in Zanesville, Ohio - where there used be a exotic animal breeder, where he shot himself and released all exotic animals into the city he lived in
the cops had to shoot all the tigers, black panthers, leopards for the next two weeks or so - crazy
there were helicopters, animal control, cops with guns all over... it was a huge shit show, schools cancelled, and all that
people got scared to get out as these animals were not fed, and they were hungry and attacking pets, cattle and other animals around that area
Cops had to kill 18 rare bengal tigers and more
i wonder why they didnt just dart them and send them to a zoo
people are shit. like when they use to do those African save an animal charity things. they make you believe you are "adopting" a tiger or something and paying a monthly fee to take care of it and they send you pictures and in reality your basically sending money to some fat French dude who's sending you pictures scanned out of encyclopedia
It was hard for then to dart them for some reason...
prob didn't have enough tranq to go around
could have done without youm posting that pic tbh lol
this was the headline 18 Tigers, 17 Lions, 8 Bears, 3 Cougars, 2 Wolves, 1 Baboon, 1 Macaque, and 1 Man Dead in Ohio
speaking of shitty people and animals. gotta clean the litterbox brb
lmao
man one of my clsoe friends is a pilot....still flying these days...airports completely dead....flights have maybe 10 people max on them
like a ghost town
that reminds me of the Zombieland movie - pretty funny movie
haha
especially the doubletap
lol
its funny when movies can predict things like that
I’ve been gone for a while and just updated my hassio, groups no longer supported. How do I fix it ?
It was only a group for automation purposes, do I comment the groups configuration and delete the groups file ?
@frail adder groups are still supported, read the release notes again
Hello everyone. I got a question. I’m trying to edit my configuration.yaml file over the network but get permission error when I try to save. How can I fix this?
Sad news for those of us who use DarkSkyAPI they were bought by Apple and are shutting down their services for Android and API (End of 2021 for those who have an account)
https://blog.darksky.net/dark-sky-has-a-new-home/
@shrewd oasis via SSH? What installation method?
@potent zenith we had a long discussion about that 12 hours ago 
@clear ferry I’m using unraid and I shared the folder that contained home assistant. I then connected on my Mac to the folder and used atom to edit the file. But I’m unable to save it.
Viva la sleep 😄
@shrewd oasis are you connected to that share with an used that has the appropriate permissions?
Sounds like something that won't work unless you have synchronised your permissions, check the owner / group of the files, compare that to your user that is mounting the share @shrewd oasis
Also, the user that you have mounted the filesystem with, which I'm guessing is not a user in the HA docker but a unraid user 
Says root
wave good morning
Configuration.yaml says root and o lu root can modify
Yeah, that is root from inside the docker container I guess
Have an idea how I can change it?
Do you have use normal HA or HassIO?
HA
Ok I guess cannot use text editor addons in that case 🤔
Yea that’s why I had to use another one. I understand the issue now. I’m just not sure how to fix it now
Does the user with whom you access the files on share have full permission? I haven't used HA on docker since I run it on a VM however I know that on my Unraid I was able to edit all docker files, Plex etc with my user that had full permissions
My user has read/write in all shares
https://forums.unraid.net/topic/72999-how-to-edit-config-files-in-appdata-folder-i-can-delete-and-then-copy-back/
this appears to have the same issue as you
Hi I couldnt find an answer to this question anywhere so please either point me to the right direction or perhaps help me out with this issue. I would sometimes like to edit the config files from different dockers directly instead of going through the UI of the docker in quest...
The HA folder can be modified by anyone but the file itself can’t
@potent zenith I have krusader open and if I look at the permissions on the folder it’s fine but there’s an option to apply changes to all subfolders and files. Do you think would break HA?
Ok well I did it and it didn’t change the owner but it did change the permissions to who can write. I was able to save now
I restarted HA and it seems to be ok
Glad to hear it didn't break anything ^^
@rain swift may wanna share this with your family nurses down south. https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-a1nrmDeVA/?igshid=y0xhdwa9769f

@shrewd oasis copy them all out. delete them.copy them back in
I will add that to my bag of tricks if I run I to this problem again. Thanks
Ooof that is a lousy workaround
Not possible to start the docker container with proper gid/uid permissions? Don't know unraid
To use Lovelace nowadays do I still have to create ui-Lovelace.yaml?
No
#frontend-archived would be where to ask though, after reading the docs linked from the channel topic there 😉
Ok thanks
whats poppin guys
what do you need to stick on
🍿
too early for that
im sticking to coffee
without add-ons
Wanted to say black but dont know if ppl raise the racism card for that or not we live in a weird society
Eh, my coffee is black, like my soul...
UK
There's some around, but "not much"
damn people dont like social distancing
Very different up here in Scotland
London is a "special place"
yes
all the money of england goes there
by far the most developed part of the country
was just curious 🙂
Consultancy, which is slightly quiet right now
or is that modding this discord server
ahh i see
how did you get into this field t hen
Too many years in IT 😄
i see i see
I'd hit the point where I wasn't having fun any more
Eh, I'm really liking my Lenovo
I had Dell for years, but my last one was "not awesome"
I've got one of the Lenovo Yoga books - C930
Yeah, it's not that different TBH
Largely styling differences really
Better speakers, looks less industrial
Keyboard feels the same, with a slightly different layout. Screen is very similar
Aye, I like the lightness of this
It's not quiet Chromebook portability, but close enough
I'm scared that I have to move to a smaller size laptop
Currently a 15.6
But I do like the screen size or maybe it's too small already
I started with 17" screens, moved to 15", and now am on 13" - but at 4K I don't mind
Bigger is nice, but the sharpness is a massive win
🤢
Yeah, my basic requirements were: USB-C power, backlit keyboard, quality screen
Isn't it
Yeah, but I don't care 😄
Haha I see
For this screen, I'll take the hit
But I'm aiming at the Lenovo T14s
Plus I have a suitable PD battery if needed
If you've got half decent eyesight, or wear glasses, get a 4K screen if you can - I can't believe I put up with "mere" HD displays 🤣
Haha wait lemme look up the spec sheet of the t14s
Emailing ThinkPad-T14s-AMD-Datasheet.pdf
No QHD 
Time to work out what matters more then 😄
On his behalf ... 🤢
ahh
Particularly when somebody mentions AMD 🤣
hahaha
well its a nice device, looking wise and performance
my first laptop with a hdmi port
pog
That says a lot about the crappy laptops you've had 😛
only vga or mini display port
What's that weird thing second from the left?
its been a decent machine and my thing for my studies the past 5 years
Mini DP is pretty good IMO
dock from lenovo
Yeah, looks like my old-old Lenovo
Looks like a combined thunderbolt and network in usb form factor?
Weird
Ethernet passthrough for mechanical docks.
according to reddit
🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢
Was in a video call 
To be honest, with Thunderbolt, who needs a proprietary dock
See, there's your problem 😄
I was wondering why there was so little green when people were talking about hardware.
but man its much cheaper
look at those mega expensive shit
whereas the amd powered G14 only costs 1500$
and outperforms the biggest part
Tbh, i9 performance in a laptop is for geologists or shitkids 
so what its just to point out
I work with the former and shun the latter

I wish my surface laptop 3 had tb3 and a graphics card
The only real disadvantages imo
But i game like once a year
Those enclosures are very expensive
ikr haha
Plus the bandwidth of gpus can bring even tb3 to it's knees
It's only 2-4 lanes iirc
idk tbh
But tb3 is good if you have external raids, 10gbe, etc
The magnetic dock on the surface is very good
i want to save space
Depends on the profile of your laptop
If your laptop is tapered like mine it won't sit snug
It will weeble wobble
Not any way I know of
Yes but the laptop goes in thickest side first
thiccc
The 3:2 screen is supreme
and i do prefer the ryzen 4000 chips
I got the i7 15"
model nr?
Not sure sorry
256 isnt that a bit small ssd
couldbe me though
cfd files are generally 10gb
at Rolls Royce i was working on a clusterwith 5PB storage

@hushed basalt is the magnetic dock of the surface still designed by an idiot? The old one covered one usb port when you clipped it on
@midnight adder rookie numbers ;)
they should invent a wireless dock
haha 1tb ram memory
that was sooooo nice to work on lol
Rookie numbers still ;)
I install systems that support 64TB in a single machine 
normally the wife is the expensive half
And we do 1PB SSD storage in 2U
HPE Superdome Flex and HPE Primera, go Google yourself 
Close to 1000 cores in the Superdome too
Sure
LOOOOL
The new VMware licencing is going to be shite though
Anything over 32 cores will require additional licences
We have identified an opportunity to challenge Oracle's standing in the community
Not even close though
Well, yeah, they'll have to go some
Oh, you run on anything else than oracle hardware, that'll be 250% extra
And don't forget they'll want to audit you, because you must be lying
Oh you run it virtualized with only one core? That'll be all the cores in all your vcenters licensed please

The only reason 4 core CPUs are still produced, oracle

No usb there anymore I see
wireless usb
@midnight adder but wireless usb has been a thing for close to 20 years 
Worth watching
It's stupid that those docks are 1: heavy and 2: So expensive.
The HP TB dock G2 has been very good so far, I need to order the audio upgrade though
I'm in serious need of a VESA mount for a laptop
I have a arm, but i need the plate
and amazon isn't really conclusive
what lapotop do you gave
for the price it is decent yes
on AmazonNL
it's half that
lol
AmazonBasics montageplaat voor notebook-houderarm: Amazon.nl
Any recomendations for smart scales that can sync well with Home assistant?
you can use this app which connects to many scales and can then speak mqtt https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.health.openscale.sync&hl=en

@fading zodiac TB docks are very expensive too
I have a surface pro 3. The lack of USB annoys me.
@fading zodiac I only have one usb port on my Chromebook, not very annoying as most stuff I need to connect to are either ethernet or serial port, and both are wireless for me
Only thing I'm starting to use more now is my yubikey, but no nfc on the Chromebook, so might get a nfc reader for the usb port
Instead of just plugging in the yubikey
Just saw something about some Asian country was fining companies who didn't make it possible for regular it people to work from home, would like to see that happening more tbh
@scenic radish make it so
@clear ferry Do you run linux on your chromebook?
Yes
Chrome OS with Linux or just Linux
Dual boot, chrome OS and gallium os
Yeah, I wanted to use the yubikey and wireless serial port
So needed linux
These days I mostly boot linux
Just as good battery life, and tons of more features
🤢
zbook is kinda a tank isnt it
Zbook replaced desktop
@clear ferry why HP??
Because that is what we buy
HPE
would have been wierd if you used DELL or Apple 😛

@clear ferry My HP Microserver G8 broke 3 times I blame you 😛
What if we don't joke about stuff like that here
^
ohhh
or anywhere
okay 🙂
Hopefully darksky news was April fools
@light trout we can buy anything now, we aren't affiliated with HPQ anymore
@clear ferry Is HPE gear decent?
In spite of atxbyea being involved
Best storage and servers on the planet, yeah
don't agree but ok
from my account anyway, now using supermicro and everything is great, had nothing with problems using HPE gear
I've worked with many vendors, all have their weaknesses
99% of issues I see are customer related
Because people = shit
People design things though
I think you're being a bit mean to shit 😉
What do you mean the drives have to be installed only one way
What do you mean drives from a G7 server aren't supported on a Gen10 server, I just forced them into the slot
My UsB C cAn gO anYWaY
Bad usability, design your servers like a toddler is about to run a datacentre.
Just wait until somebody ships hardware with no packaging, and wonders why it gets bent in transit...
@rare condor come back to me when you have rolled out 1000 servers for a hpc cluster
It's like when we had camera setups in the quarter million price bracket
Use bright colours and pictures
And people would say WhYdoEsnT itT haVe AuToFoCuS
Doesn't help @rare condor - I've shipped stuff with guides a toddler could follow, and adults can't
@clear ferry I'll have you know I run a 2 cluster datacentre at home, way above your paygrade mate 😉
Bright colours and pictures and people still get it wrong
Even taking into account colour blindness 😉
@clever mortar Aim for drunk toddler on meth
You mean - average human adult?
Don't disrespect toddlers who are suffering withdrawl.
My toddler can use a phone better than most elderly
Mine started pretending to be me in conf calls at age one
"yes, yes yes ,yes, yes, bye"
I gave her one of my old phones
💩
Probably iron maidens Magnum Opus imo
My coffee cup just for you @midnight adder
No, i keep 22c indoors at most times
Also I shovel snow outdoors in -35 in my t-shirt
Heh, AWS finally opened up a third AZ in Canada, which makes my life easier! However, they called it cac1-az4 which is going to drive some people nuts!
🤣

whew this will be fun, migrating 120gb database table to another server XD
for a single game sever XD
Maybe something for AI for HA / Precense detection and or security cameras? https://medium.com/pcmag-access/nvidias-jetson-nano-is-an-ai-computer-for-the-masses-a305ea452dfd
These days I have customers running SAP Hana with 6-12TB memory, so I expect their databases are probably in the 500+TB range without knowing an exact figure
@late gate we discussed that one in here a year ago or something
Was announced then I think
@late gate Im a news lagger :p

but can you recap the conclution you guys came up with, useable?
the longer I work in IT, the more I know that I should migrate to gardening
I do both @midnight adder
🙂
@clear ferry in the garden: https://giphy.com/gifs/flamethrower-rOtHHB3oULnuo
With a chainsaw? That's a bit odd
but gardening for a living would be hard
🤢
That is for people with special interests
@clever mortar maybe the results will be better than last year

I can hear my YouTube video in my head now
Hi guys, it's me again, today we are going to plant tomatoes with a chainsaw
Hi Guys, it's me again, today my 4yo daughter is going to plant tomatoes with a chainsaw
why is it always when I need something its totally gone? I really need to use touchlink and the only portable touchlink I can thinki of is the conbee and now both are gone :S
Lul just found a zigbee sensor between the fridge and redfridgirator *f me *
but a fridge and a redfridgirator is the same thing 🤣
you mean a fridge and a freezer ?
its the same device
@clear ferry not possible when hue outside lights decide to go crazy. Its so stupid they did not implement a better reset method
Thats actually a realy good idea - ro reset you need this 25$ device 🤷♂️
Thats how you do buisness
I have a spare Hue dimmer switch I use for testing
it was like €9
and that should work for that purpose
all major electronic stores in norway have them too
I got mixed experience with the dimmer method
but deconz got a really, really good touchlink implementation
I would suggest having deconz stick just because of that
but can try the hue dimmer (you are talking about the standard dimmer when four buttons, not the round one)
I have used the dimmer switch atleast 20 times without fault
yeah, the rectangle one
just press on and off together while holding it close to the light
until it start blinking
I can try that first, got a bunch of them
Ooof the Corona numbers for UK is starting to spike
Wonder what the US numbers will be today
If you chart it log then it's a straight line, so it's clearly "ok" 😬
meanwhile Sweden is doing badly (aka nothing). Gonna need to start building the walls atx
I don't need no walls, I just work from home and everybody else can stick it
I'm interested to see what happens at Easter here when the jocks and stuff will go to their cabins, even if they are now prohibited by law
you guys see the post on the forum - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-a-computational-biologist-tracks-covid-19-pt-1-of/179258
I'm hoping my installations of HPC systems will go up during and after this covid stuff
It makes sense for them to need more computational power
@clear ferry Did you go to Sc19 in Denver?
heloooo
@midnight adder Hello Mate, How can I help you tonight?
I plan to make my home smart so I'm joining every possible forums and discord servers releated to smart homes
If I will ever need a hub I will check this out
If you haven't found the docs yet, they should give you a good overview
👍
@rare condor nope, I don't work on them, just install them and test them
Break them?
I always try to read any docs but in the end I do it on my own lol
so.... 2 years to find a new weather API, eh? https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21202259/android-weather-app-dark-sky-apple-purchase-api
sup in here?
The sky...
oh.... ok
umm... @sour escarp did you hear about darksky?
🤣
I am using the new Solaredge HASS interface and have transferred for directly addressing Solaredge API thru HTTP. It seems that the Battery Charge State / Level has been missed out. Can anyone suggest where would be the proper place to post this please? I have tried Googling many times but to no avail. The only option I can see is to drop the HASS interface and go back to direct API. Sorry if this first post is in the wrong place. I'm sure I must have missed something.
i'm not aware of this joke...
#integrations-archived is likely the best place @uneven mica
over my head
Thanks @clever mortar
👎
just read people complaining about the dark sky thing on 3 other social sites. apparently a lot of android users are using that damn thing lol
its a nice app
I've been using it since they launched the app
It is/was one of the best weather apps for "where I am"
damn
YMCA lays off 85% of employees. Shit will be going down the hill quick from now on...
yay, three new aqara motion sensors
Ubiquiti purchased by Cisco. Will require license fees starting next year 😦 https://discordapp.com/channels/299922493924311054/617808006003818496/694955555470573579
@midnight adder link?
Opt for our Zigbee motion sensor to build wireless home security system or alarm. Aqara wireless motion detector works with your HomeKit & Alexa security system.
it's a xiaomi brand
yeah I don't use it for that anyways

@last dirge Wow... that's been on the cards for a long time and looks like Cisco finally pulled the trigger
nice april fools
I don't think it's April Fools joke...I haven't seen any company posting jokes this year
it's to the ubiquiti discord server
it's got a link for more info about the rollout and implementation
😉
Anybody else got colleagues that wanna share configs 🤭
Miss amazon same day. Stripped a bike pedal now gotta wait till SAT 😦
@last dirge 4/1
@last dirge 4/1
like the jokers who decided to do this today
Pretty cool https://e-vent.mit.edu/
i hate you
@last dirge ubiquiti 🤢
hate the internet today
@last plaza I remember you mentioned timelapse. From snapshots. Any tips on making a daily timelapse of tensor images ?
@tidal bronze I could something similar to what I did for USPS. Stitch al those pictures into one animated image or a video.
On calls until 4. Will be on and off.
ubiquiti bought by cisco? i hope this aint true
@sour escarp what's today's date?
I think that just as believeable as HomeSeer bought Home Assistant and now are rolling out their UI and plugins will cost $20 each
I thought we postponed April fools day. 🙂
