as gas prices drop lol
It's been rising steady here for a long time
I think last year was close to 50% of all cars sold
oh snap! email about darksky says the api will continue to function till the end of 2021
Yeah, no rush to move off if you're using it for HA
@clear ferry Their new found popularity is a bit of a double edged sword. A lot of really fun stuff being found.
@forest edge yea, moved to darsky a year ago and now I need to find another weather provider...
@strange vapor I hadn't even heard of it until yesterday
@forest edge I use only api, so I have time, but why to spend more time with them? And on my mobile phone I use Morecast - it has a pretty good weather radar that is a must for any outdoor activity (now it is not very important, but normally it is)
awww yiss, ordered my shitty PoE camera for my 7 segment LCD idea
7 segment, how is life in 1986?
it's to read that
which has a 7-segment LCD
@last dirge looks like ya got a little atxbyea barf on your shoe...here take this ๐งป
What cheapo cam did you go with?
what about to build your own temperature controler? ๐ or take it apart and just read the data with esp directly from this crap?
https://www.bbqguru.com/info/DynaQ a recent one
@errant barn that one's got no local display and is ONLY via the app
also, when you add it to your shopping cart you get a notice that it's a preorder
as gas prices drop lol
@shy comet really ?
@tidal bronze yea its dropping around different states, not sure about cali lol
$1.55 in texas and missouri
Oh. Haven't pumped gas in a while. ๐
me neither filled up before all this ๐ฆ
I think I did in Feb
me too i htn lol
Tomorrow I will have to drive stripped a peddle in my ebike
Just checked gas buddy its dropping
But no where to go. Epic!
yea lol, its like you almost want to go driving around just cuz gas is so cheap but you cant go anywhere so it would suck even more
Thinking of Kanan down to PCH and just roam around. Can't stay inside anymore.
Was losing my mind in the AM and added a TTS response for doorbell that no one ever pushes. ๐
dumb question, what is TTS?
Text to speech
10-4, thanks
yea i normally work from home so the only thing that changed for me is i just cant leave the damn house lol
I have no idea how that works out.
Yes I only go out for few hours a day but still staying home all day. .....oh boy.
@shy comet the prices have dropped 33% here, but since 85% of it is tax it probably won't go much lower
Staying home all day

Good thing I have never seen anyone use it

@last dirge how are you going to read the led using cam?
@clear ferry Silicon Valley loves it
@strange vapor bunch of newbs 
This is what you get for working with a crusty old remnant of the 30s!! ๐
hello guys I have a problem with an automation, I think I wrote it right but I don't know why it always gives me this error
I never knew we have that integration! Right on! ๐
@last plaza we used to know everything.......remember the early days when we worked our but off in work arounds
@last plaza @tidal bronze please stay safe โค๏ธ ya'all
@Brian Cribbs [TRX All-in Club]#70958 looks very cool.
I could use it to read the clock on the oven and alert me if my daughter has changed the time again :D
I know people use it to read their electric meter to record consumption
It's a shame my meter is locked
It has a serial port
It also has an magnetic optical port but I think it's a proprietary protocol
I need a server boost on my server... anyone want to mutually boost?
Choo choo Homies
well I couldn't replace a wire at work because there are soo many its now a fire hazard to remove them because of friction
Clearly you just need to pull them v e r r r r r y slowly - like one wire a day or something ๐

You're right, we all know the correct answer is lubrication...
Funny you say that
A norwegian news paper just had an article about how the customs offices are overrun by sex toys during the pandemic

That sounds like the plot of a really bad "movie"
(or good, depending on your tastes)
I think I've seen that movie and all the sequels 
No movie will ever be as good as that movie I saw in the 90s sometime
I just remember it was called cobra something,filmed in South Africa, and the story was something about a conspiracy between Soviet Union and some African government, the car chase scenes you could see the camera on the side of the car and they changed scenes by doing mosaic fade out
darn will i ever be able to speak about amd here without being vomitted on
probably not
๐คข
wooooo tinkerer is also puking on me
Hey, you asked ๐
yikes im a stihnky
haha ai thats true
i like how i spend more time here than i put into my ha setup
which topic heading should I use for question pertaining to attaching a physical button to my project?
#diy-archived id say
We don't have a #glue or #nail channel, so that's a good fit
cool thank you both
@clever mortar how do i trust electronic boards like esp
im jst scared of it burning my house down
Carefully
as im not an electrical engineer
Eh, 5V devices are hard to make catch fire
5\12v is pretty safe, but if you want to wire them into mains you would need a buck of some sorts
I have one of those setups as my garage door opener, built it myself
I should however make it into a protoboard setup instead of just wires at some point when I have time ๐ค
meh zzzz
finding documentation that I can share that isn't confidential with partners
๐คฃ
all the good ones are atleast INTERNAL if not CONFIDENTIAL
I have redacted all the sensitive stuff, hopefully the document title will be enough for you
I should just start making my own documentation for stuff, that isn't affilliated with company ๐คฃ
I'll probably get in trouble for that too
i do i stop being distracted by everything
like when i have to do something there is ALWAYS a thing that distracts me
That is why I seldom go into the office
and just put me as invisible in all systems when I need to focus on something
my dog just pulled up to my room
chillin and barking in front of the window
๐
Damn kids, get off my lawn
Hey, I wear hats
๐ฉ
well dont pass by or you will get a fat bark from my dog
That's a pretty shitty emoji of a top hat ๐ค
that was terrible on dark theme @clever mortar
I have 48GB RAM and 4core 3.2GHz on my laptop, the workshop I'm running today is saturating that ๐คฃ
hahahaha
i love that meme
and i love the fact that league of legends added the meme to a skin
My emojis brings all the @scenic radish to the yard
and they are like
atx is better than you
what
๐ค
!Votekick]

how safe is it to reuse an old pdb from a tv
to make a smart mirror XD
got this thing laying around and might strip everything
doesn't make sense to me, as the old tvs were so thick etc, a old laptop monitor \ desktop monitor would be better suited, with an external power supply tbh
that's what many of my customers did at some point, then discovered it was a bad idea
disaster for what haha
oof, 10% mortality rate in spain so far
same in the netherlands
then again, spain is full of old people, that is where most norwegian retirees buy houses
but that is just due to the fact that we dont test enough
Spain is also where lots of brits go
its because of that stupid match between valencia and an italien club
they were partying after
and then italy and spain got infected hard 2 weeks later
guess why
is that commicsans ms?

@clear ferry @clever mortar https://www.ibm.com/cloud/blog/announcements/amd-on-ibm-cloud-bare-metal-servers

People still buy IBM ๐ค
@clever mortar every company i worked with had at least a couple of power's and with red hat now they're building great things together (this is what we all hope at least)
Isn't that Lucida Handwriting?
Comic sans isn't cursive.
I've seen people use that font (handwriting) on their jailbroken iphones. A perfect proof that "because I can" is not a good reason for anything.
little update about the spotify/multiroom player:
- raspotify looks awesome but my gf phone was the only one that wasn't able to detect this raspi-speaker.
- mopidy & snapcast don't work in my setup, gave up (:
that's all.. i'll resume another day
Wow Drzzs in here ๐ . Feel like a celeb in the area
IBM still makes servers ? @clever mortar @midnight adder
@clear ferry probably better ones than an hp employee
Last IBM hardware I touched was ... just average
IBM sold out their whole server business years ago
Only the thinkpad range, the lenovo range was shite
๐คข
somebody said thinkpad?
@tawny pebble like your thinkpad t series?
@midnight adder i was a dell guy but recently switched to lenovo for office (i've got 3 thinkpad laptops) and i must admit that i like them. good quality and relatively cheap. plus no branded-drivers
Hello
@midnight adder not sure i know what the tb3 is, you mean the tablet maybe?
thunderbolt 3 port
Just a little intro to myself. Im from the UK complete newbie to pi but got one to keep myself busy in the lockdown
Discovered HA and thought why not and completely messed up haha so joined here
oh, no i don't. i have a kind of sickness when i reach Apple's and even tho it's now "open" i still won't use it ๐
fair
so i wont miss out on anything when i buy a amd laptop without tb3 port
that was my only factor that could hold me back from buying one
as long as it has usb3/c you can do anything, literally
yeah both haha
@brisk sedge i discovered HA when my gf wasn't switching off the lights as soon as she was leaving the room. turned out that now i consume more power than before due to every devices in idle plus the little server running.. but it's still worth it
Juri i thought setting up a smart home would save on energy
I too have a 42U rack
but it's completely unplugged because running the stuff in it was costing like $50/month in electricity
@brisk sedge well, hard topic.. if you use to waste electricity because you leave everything always ON, then with some automations you can fix that. Like turning off lights when not needed, or some plugs off like the TVs and other devices... But still, anything you plug to the power and connect to wifi, even if minimal, they consume something.
1 watt here, 1 there ...
what device do you run it on @tawny pebble
At home we are very good. Switch lights off and that. But im going to go ahead anyway lol
@midnight adder
@midnight adder HA (and some other VMs) are in a esxi. before in a dell laptop now on a nuc. I don't require many servers, if i have to run tests there's my office lab
@clear ferry Next step: Create a guitar playing bot and automate with HA!
gibson had an AI tuning guitar I remember
@tawny pebble neat, imma swap do a nuc when i move out haha
burn em with fite
lol is that the ikea hub on your desk
I have... 8 electric, one lapsteel, two basses, 4 acoustics and two keyboards, and some drums
yes, I retired the hub when I moved to zigbee2mqtt
sure, when you move out from your parents house ๐
@midnight adder There's this really evil thing called GAS... Gear Acquisition Syndrome
No, AMD people not allowed within my walls
One guitar or keyboard is NEVER enough.
nucs consume very less power and i like them! plus they're tiny and 0-noise. they costs, mine is a core i5 gen 8 because 8 thread at 15W it's hard to find. i can run up to 7 VM simultaneulsy and the cpu can still handle it. i didn't install more cos i finish ideas on what to install
ill tell you that i bought an intel laptop
7 VMs, those are rookie numbers @tawny pebble ๐คฃ
@clear ferry I'm seriously looking at a nice Threadripper box ๐
It's nice to see Intel getting a bit a slapping at the moment, they needed a bit of decent competition.
@clear ferry if u know what to run and how, you don't really need more. currently only 4 are running tho!
@tawny pebble currently im running a pi4
pi ๐คข
@clear ferry what's this?
dont think i get something with less power consumption
his power supply for his weed harvesting
@tidal bronze making my 3phase 220v into regular 1phase
On a wall ?
3phase 220v is pretty normal in garages and workshops
@midnight adder yeah, my same idea
yeah it's just a box I bought at a local electrician outlet
So this is some sort of a sub panel?
yeah, basically I get 220v 3phase from my main panel, that comes in a outlet like this in my garage
that I connect that box to
to get it split from 3ph to 1ph
Oh so a makeshift sub panel

This one
Even english instructions here https://www.jula.no/globalassets/catalog/productdocuments/manual/402392_se-no-pl-en.pdf
thats what we have in the netherlands as well
we call it kracht stroom
or power current
Yep a subpanel. Strange it's on wall.
because it's a mobile one
If you roll that way sure @midnight adder
I can bring it along with me to any kind of construction site and use it there
but most modern construction sites use 400v3ph
Can someone take a look at my question in #330944238910963714 please?
@clear ferry we only have makeshift panels at construction sites. Home / commercial it's in wall. Main or subpanel
๐
usually they are here too, but we seldom have subpanels in Norway
except in commerical buildings
@brisk sedge Don't go around posting in other channels like that - post in the right place (as you did) and be patient ๐
@clear ferry pretty common in large houses
@clever mortar ok. Ill try. Just i been stuck for a week now
my parents house has it, that is 500m2 roughly, but they have the sub panels in the parts of the house they rent out, so that they tenants can be charged the correct amount
they have a 100 and a 50 m2 apartment in their house
if it is a whole house with no rented parts we never have subpanels
just one big fusebox
Large houses/guesthouse, large garage sub panel is common. I like it so how I screw around with out bringing down the house.
yeah, guest houses are.... for the 1% in norway mostly ๐คฃ
we have full breakers on everything, so we just pull the breaker for the garage, do what we need and then flip the breaker on again
https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/netbootxyz nice, I should try this one out
oh nice, ive done it with ipxe/gpxe before
yeah, I hate setting up pxe servers
I've become a docker fanatic
IT EXISTS IN DOCKER
I NEED IT
๐คฃ
lol
PXE is ... powerful and an awesome way of wiping a whole network
it's a PITA with any customers who has legacy and modern hardware
with the UEFI and legacy combined farms
I've worked with UEFI since like 2007 on IA64, but customers who are now starting to use proper UEFI on x86 that arrived like in 2014 are still struggling
Hi all. If someone are interested a preliminary guide on how to create a totally independent Home Assistant HUB is available here: https://lucaestiva.github.io/
Thx to all

PS: It works like a charm ๐
@clear ferry I like the little baby extending the middle finger than the one you shared. It is on the same page.
thxโฆ bluethooth ๐
sounds like mike tyson saying bluetooth
no is available only in it....
I ran into Mike Tyson last time I was in Chicago airport. He just came from China. @clear ferry
He was short - not heavy at all
@bright flume what's different about this
So... Hardware with HA installed?
I guess.
an appliance of an appliance ? ๐ค yo dawg
the guide is prelimary... this step is missing ๐
but work
Its Thursday and I am already confused.
the time to send tcp is very slow.... ๐
try udp
packets ๐
yo put your mask on doc
no router...
performance...
not security... the firewall is on the router...
do not open ports...
๐
to the HUB ip if it's no necessary
i7 8550U as router ๐
a bit overkill. unless you want to handle million billions connections
mimo don't solve for fault t
I confuse
sry
yes true... Home Assistant only receive or send a small amount of data
through the lan... TCP or MQTT
others ?
streaming and so UDP can limit the bandwidth
of our router WiFi or LAN
the router can be damaged, yes the HUB also...
Is it possible to make a button i could push which then runs a google assistant command
I'll be interested how you're going to be supporting folks who follow your guide... got your own Discord going?
This is going to be an interesting Thursday morning.
if i can support people... i can do that ๐
@tidal bronze is it Thursday already? I canโt tell these days.
and... i forgot to comment the DHCP server conf... wtf !!!
The day ends in some letter
Good news is that we are going to have great weather this weekend. Something to look forward to.
it works !
Ship it!
may be ๐
I need access to your emoji collection badly @clear ferry

@bright flume do you work for Microsoft? Just curious.
Poor MS
M$
Fixed that for you
The PXE docker container was so fricking nice
everything just working
Luca Brasi is missing in action already
Why no voice channels? ๐
Because they're harder to moderate ๐
Also, voice is crappy for sharing code snippets ๐
OK understood :)
ooof, 15% unemployment in the US now

Come on guys and do some covid folding on the Home Assistant team - just 6 spots more and im first :p https://stats.foldingathome.org/team/247478
joined the team
if only i had a stash of GPUs to fold on
I fold on my laptop 
My Chromebook folds well
Lol mine doesn't. Has a POS netbook cpu
No, it has a hinge - it folds well ๐
Lol
Ppl with the Samsung Galaxy fold will laugh
A few times anyway, until it folds no more ๐
Folding displays seem like a brilliant idea. Like flying cars.
There's enough accidents with cars that don't fly...
But only BECAUSE they dont fly. Avoiding by turning left or right may crash you with someone else, but also up and down makes the chance *4
I love your optimism ๐
There's enough accidents with cars that don't fly...
@clever mortar yet we would still do it cause we would see it as acceptable lol
at the current rate, the HA F@H team will be in the top 1500 in 3 days

makes no sense
even in LA where we have stay at home order....peopel still going out all the time
they just recommended everyone to wear a mask out here too
It's going to thrive in the USA
yea it is
until we do a nationwide lockdown
letting states do their own things is not smart
not in an election year it wont
Went to the hardware store yesterday because I needed a relief valve for my water heater, I was surprised to see a full parking lot and people talking and walking around like nothing is happening.
@pliant forge what state are you in?
@shy comet Minnesota, people are doing a really good job for the most part but that was shocking and very disappointing. Havenโt left the house for the last month other than for emergencies and didnโt expect to see that.
I go shopping once a week, that is mostly it
we use instacart here so no leaving the house lol
Delivery is rare here outside the big cities
5 days delay here
unless i use postmates to hit up my butcher LOL
that took like 30 min i was surprised
but ralphs or costco....your waiting days
I have found a nice quiet loop where I can go for a walk, just to get out of the house some bit. Other than that, haven't left the house except for shopping
We have been getting our groceries delivered too.
just wait until May dude....its gonna be much more difficult to stay in lol
Atleast you have time to play music @strange vapor very little time for that here
Since my studio is in my garage, my daughter can't be left free or she'll eat everything
Had gotten the lawnmower ready so I could mow the lawn this evening, but then the rain decided to come and say hello.
Yeah, windy here today. No hail sadly
were starting to get consistent 80s here in LA
i think our spout of rain for 10 days is done lol
@shy comet can you recommend a butcher?
@tidal bronze Dannys Fresh Meat at Vanowen and White Oak
Postmates?
Excellent. Thanks.
BBQ kinda weather ๐
Right on
probably need to do another order of rib eyes and filets soon
I finished my NY strip yesterday from costco ๐ฆ
everything ive gotten there is really great quality, even the ground beef
No delivery times on insta
Yep
yea its been really bad
you gotta check hourly
it depends on when you attempt to check out vs how many shoppers/delivery are online
After watching the NHK micro droplet video I am going to stay the fuck home.
I do have N95s wear it even while driving lol
haha yea same here, we got them when we did some attic work earlier
After watching the NHK micro droplet video I am going to stay the fuck home.
@tidal bronze link please?
Where I want to install a rack in the attic, there's no power. There's an unused power almost directly under it, but to get to it there's multiple layers of plywood and insulation ๐ฆ Going to be fun to get to.
Hate dealing with insulation.
glad i was able to actually buy butchered meat this week!
I think I buy butcher meat like four times per year
We have a good local butcher and usually buy something every few weeks. They've got no supply issue - unlike the supermarkets that seem to struggle.
Here, a lot of butchers, or small groups of butchers, run their own abattoirs and get their produce locally. They also generally have farmers who they deal with, so the supply lines are good. Some of the bigger plants which supply fast food joints are having a hard time of it at the moment.
Funnily enough, the "lower quality" meat used to make fast food burgers is also some of the most profitable for the factories.
Yeah, our local butcher has their own supply chain, which explains lots ๐
Not least of which is that the meat is always good - unlike other places
I grew up on a dry stock farm, used to annoy my house mates in college when I came back from home with some nice steaks every now and then ๐

Been a big fan of Royal Enfield since childhood. Used to ride that thing a lot in my younger days.
Canโt wait to ride this weekend! ๐

Yeah, looks really nice in that colour
Yes. They have black and stainless steel. This is Orange Crush they call it.

@tidal bronze how's your knowledge of discrete components?
@forest edge saw the video last night. Iโll probably go with medium range helmets.
just make sure you go with a half helmet. full face on those bikes looks weird lol
Never heard intermediate oval until I watched those videos ๐
"looks weird" is better than "I got in a wreck and got my jaw smashed"
nah
My work is like 15 miles from home. Would be nice during summer.
There is a sports version of the motorbike. I didnโt go for it. I like to ride in relaxed mode. Like cruiser.
if you land with your jaw down in a motorcycle wreck you not only done something no one else has ever done before but proven that you should have never owned a bike to begin with
I donโt care much about the looks. I prefer safety all around ๐
Iโm going to bundle up for sure!
Relative term.
There is risk involved in anything if you are being stupid. I try not to be.
you're way more likely to be affected by others while you're on a motorcycle than you are by yourself
dome, hands and legs are the most common hit areas. areas like torso and arms and feet rarely end up with anythying more than a few scratches
when we go flying off a motorcycle a certian instict takes ovver
@last plaza that looks awesome man. ๐ ๐ ๐

@tidal bronze thank you! Have been looking for a week, and I made the move today. Too frustrating sitting at home ๐คฃ
my first bike was my dads 1100 Yamaha. first and only bike i ever had that had a reverse gear and boy I wish they made that standard
Wasnโt even thinking about it a week ago. This is how things work around here ๐
@last plaza have fun this weekend but be safe out there.
@tidal bronze yes. Thank you. Will be driving in the neighborhood mostly.
I am not a big fan of making noise - I didnโt opt for exhaust modifications.
@clear ferry https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41KoCZ0rogL._AC_SY400_.jpg good choice
@last plaza noise is a good thing
different sort of streamer
@clear ferry my wife is fine as long as she gets to travel with me. For me, it is mostly for fun during the weekends.
I bought almost the exact one for my daughter two days ago @forest edge
After sliding a Honda 450 and running into the front end of a bmw with a ninja 600, I decided motorcycles werenโt for me. Nice bike though Ska..
The exhaust is about $600. Sounds awesome, but probably annoy the neighbors. Donโt want to do that.
Is it just me or is GitHub down? 
@last plaza louder you are, the more likely buttwipes around you will hear and know you are there. helps keeps certain female drivers from running over you in parking lots etc

@last dirge What's going on ?
this relay board I got is momentary and I didn't consider that when I bought the mux board to drive it
I want to convert it to a latched board
half helmet, leather goves and the very least jeans and jean jacket. leather jacket if you want.
@forest edge check.
but I don't know what I'll be able to do without a bunch of extra components since the relays are ground-triggered
@forest edge village people?
@last dirge link?
to the board?
yeo
road rash can go through jeans faster than leather but in reality, unless you plan on sliding a mile you'll likely never scrap enough asphalt to notice a diffrence lol
This what you want skavvalalallala to look like @forest edge ?
no, I don't believe motorcycle footwear is necessary unless he plans to go on a track
@forest edge very comforting! ๐คฃ
lol. I am more like an utilitarian than a fashionista. @forest edge
better than me on my crotch rocket. I wear so much crap I'm suprised I haven't died from heatstroke already
lol. I need @rain swift to create a shopping list for bikes. ๐
need a gps tracker for sure
those smaller cc bikes literally get lifted away when stolen
I had someone try and carry my f4i off in an apartment complex once
Hmm.. got insurance for that.
But there will be deductible. Probably worth investing in gps tracker.
they pull up with a van with a sliding side door then drag the bike in it
it takes like under a minute, it's nuts
A few of my coworkers go@on summer trip every year. They drive like 2000 miles to all the national monuments and such. That is extreme road biking! I will never be able to do that.

Oooof
@steel urchin well that's good about the houses. we thought maybe you were patient 0 with the corona!
@clear ferry and here we are bailing them out, giving them money to make sure they do not go under

@last plaza those are the best. They have some great deals on 12v ones. I have a few ideal for most of the stuff since they are very light.
@tidal bronze there was a sale earlier this week, got both impact driver and a battery for $99. The charger itself is another $100 which I didn't account for ๐ฆ
Get the charger on ebay
Found this in the bike store ๐
anyone have automatic wire strippers for tiny wires?
automatic?
I use harbor freight wire stripper, works good... it they are tiny wires, you could use a lighter, burn the tip and strip with finger nails easily
this is what I use.
never tried a lighter lol
that's an old school trick
it looks cheap plastic, but $78 for stripping wires? Unless you strip wires for living, I wouldn't buy it ๐
Vise-grip is a good brand... I don't mind buying this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OQ21CA/ref=psdc_553398_t1_B004UN8ZNM
I don't but if you destroy what you're working on it kinda sucks lol
lost time, or having to get another pigtail or what not, plus I wonder if they work on setups where you have 3 wires inside insulation.
Unreal.
Since 5G is trending (in my head), an anecode that was told to me when I visited the operations centre of a large French mobile phone operator a few years ago.
I asked one of the engineers who worked on mast deployment if they got a lot of opposition. /1

242182 A quarter million confirmed cases already! The next few weeks will be even more crucial as the numbers increase.
We should start seeing if the stay at home orders are having any effect
they sure are, 6 million unemployed
Has anybody experienced HACS not showing any of their installed integrations/plugins?
@drowsy vault #integrations-archived
Thanks. Wasn't sure where I should ask.
@last plaza could've been half of this if steps were taken earlier. ๐ฆ
just wait dude 2 major holidays coming up
Easter and Passover
there will be another spike end of april
Sadly the idiots that called this a simple flu will be getting the checks as well. Oh well
what im more curious about now is what happens in fall when it comes back and then again in the next year
Well it will be a shitshow with few more ventilators in hand
sadly, turns out unemployment numbers have very little to do with the spread of the virus
It's going to be interesting with the paycheck protection plan Vs unemployment. If you don't maintain the same payroll the payroll portion is not a grant.
Interesting times ahead indeed.
I bought all my canned food already. good to go
give it till fall then we'll be under house arrest again
If not ACH 20 weeks for the checks to be mailed.
I'm uncertain how this is going to help the people that needs it the most.
The virus will either mutate to be less deadly, or we will develop a vaccine. It just matters as to which one comes first.
The world isn't going to implode
less deadly? how you sure of that?
What good is the vaccine now or even for the 2nd wave?
it could grow wings and fly
That's how all viruses mutate. They do not mutate to be more deadly. It is in their best interest to become less deadly. If they kill the host too fast, they have a lower chance of transmission
meanwhile half the population will be wiped
it could even mutate into some atx brown cheese for all we know
Could mutate to become more deadly. Or mutate enough to allow for re-infection
lmfao half the population won't be wiped
@forest edge I think that's where it originated from.... brown cheese
lmao
theres very little we know about this virus
this coronavirus already has a multitude of different strains and mutations
@shy comet what are you talking about? our President knows all about it.
@shy comet exactly...
lol
he knows more than the virus itself
the invisible enemy
in fact, he knows so much, it will spin your head
people say, no one really knows how much he knows
Stop dude!
lol
lmao, and everyone else is idiots!
sad thing is that there are so many out there now who truely believe he saved us
cause he reacted so fast to the outbreak
we are a dumb people ๐ฆ
Sadly these people didn't get the chance to know how much he knows.
he wanted to sign on every check that goes to people - I say, that's a great idea. We should have his "real" signatures. put him in a room, and don't let him out until he signed all 8 million checks
quad half of them did get the chance, they just decided to lick toliet bowls and go to corona parties instead
I saw the toilet bowl thing but most likely it was the handle to the restroom.
irrespective, one idiot does it, so many more do it - this is the internet age we're living in!
lol
I wonder how this will go on the books.
some good news tho, read about how museum's are keeping people employed by making them convert stuff to digital while at home lol
I mean that may have nevver happened otherwise lol
Yep
ugh cloud crap will be even more all the rage now ๐คข
Wow so negative huh. ๐
and that was just the first one, he plans to take a second test as well
that will be even more negative.
people are dying with no test while some get multiple lol
50k test were supposed to start Monday..... I am wondering which Monday
june
Oh got it
lol
So glad that were so ready from day 1 for this shit.
actually curious about how this election will go cause nothing stops that
Can't wait man
lol we got Bernie or Biden and both could fall to covvid before we even start
that's messed up lol
You never know.
talk about making the history books.. that year the democrat's died before the election
But my expectations are very simple https://twitter.com/michaelfrost6/status/1163461774948962304
if it comes back in fall they need to install online voting
That's going to be a task
haha any functioning adult
talking to your team then all of sudden someone's bare ass shows up doing the ace ventura bit
yes, it is a serious problem - most schools are using zoom these days, that's the worst part
Gotta go and get some airtime ๐
Lots of classified/secret stuff being used on zoom
Very dodgey
Corporate/government espionage wouls be having a field day
@shy comet make sure you put a sign next to it .... I am with nancy and wont stand when a WW2 veteran gets a award
Found this when I went to a store today. Very funny.
a place I used to go to had a "Complaint Department" that was a pineapple grenade. It said "Take a number to be served" and the number was attached to the pin
@last dirge
@tidal bronze Ozark season 3 released.
All you have to do with zoom is add a password to the meeting... Problem solved
talk about making the history books.. that year the democrat's died before the election
@forest edge that happens every time biden opens his mouth
I don't think zoom is secure. Password or not
not only should you add a password but you should always avoid random links from people you dont know lol
Are you telling me my.gov.au.agfhz.xyz isn't a legitimate site
lol
@last plaza already started ๐
@hushed basalt save.the.koalas.gov.co.au.barbiefires.tk ?
last day of work for the next 10 days!
same here, so it's basically more than 10 days off. Homeoffice since mid march.
But I can't go places, so I'm looking for open tasks related to HA.
I'm not going anywhere either, so I'll maybe be able to do stuff around the house 
lucky me, only 3 meetings today
Doing some automation changes between meetings
I had only 2 today
no one wants meetings on Fridays
I work remote anyway so there haven't been any changes for me...
Guessing a lot of HA will be done the coming weeks ๐
do you know if there is a "open task" list for jobs, that have to be done?
I have like 20 automations for opening closing windows, family keeps adding more to list
no, I mean a list for project related stuff
You mean like GitHub issues?
Would an automation like this get retriggered every second (after 600 seconds since last event)?
states.input_datetime.bathroom_skylight_last_opened.last_updated).total_seconds() > 600 }}"```
~crosspost @rare condor
@rare condor Please DO NOT cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond.
sorry
@hushed basalt yeah. Checking/writing documentation, betatesting, ...maybe they some ppl for certain tasks
morning ๐
hi
hey mr dragon ๐ค

oh lord he is here
should i upgrade from mx master 1 to mx master 3?
is it worth it ?
Question: ~8ball is it worth it?
Answer: Without A Doubt
Personally I think 15" is the sweet spot with enough screen space to be useful but not too big/heavy so it is still portable

hmmm
My 15 is mostly docked, my 11.6" is my go-to
dont you find that too small?
he does nothing but work on it. atx doesn't know what games look like on diffrent screen sizes
I am thinking about going to a 13" 2-in-1 for my next every day carry laptop... But I like the 15" size
Gaming on PC's, what is this? 2002?
Having code on one half and documentation on the other is nicer on a 15"
yea but he just looks at a terminal
That is what I have currently, just 2 years old
hmmm
i saw the xps 15 and xps 17 being released this year
but was watching at a lenovo
:/
I use three external monitors at home, and atleast 2 if I go into the office or a single to two at most customers, so screensize is quite irrelevant to me, I just want something easy to drag along and be able to fit between me and a rack
I have 2 laptops with an extra monitor each at my desk, but when I go places it is just my laptop. I generally don't have external monitors to hook up to.
Like this evening I have been sitting on the couch working on a side project with just my laptop
a real pro only needs their phone.. just sayin..
@forest edge I do that often in meeting rooms, connect my phone to usb c and use external screen and keyboard for stuff
lol

It works so nice on Android
Just use the phone as a mouse pad
And Bluetooth keyboard
I need to try that... Do you have a specific USB-C adapter that works best?
No, any works
The multi adapter plug at meeting rooms and my 3$ AliExpress work fine in my experience
.
need you one of these lol https://i.pinimg.com/originals/aa/56/7b/aa567bbdad6d420f1e3ed7409cb64491.gif
hjoly discord lag batman
The multi adapter plug at meeting rooms and my 3$ AliExpress work fine in my experience
Ok, I have a couple $10 adapters off Amazon... I'll try them
@forest edge looks like something for neckbeards 
which is why it's so perfect for you ๐คฃ

For USB-C power on the go I use something like https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07M8P156C/, and a local power cord
And https://www.themu.co.uk/products/mu-one-international for the pocket version - as long as I'm not visiting Aus ๐
fanboy ๐
I've had Mu chargers for "some time", but the USB-C one is awesome
@forest edge do you guys still have data caps on home internet? Just saw a large discussion about it on Reddit and I went like, wtf 1998
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000571795864.html?spm=a2g0z.12010612.8148356.12.57de50ccu1o3um id go with this charger
Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com
i love anker products @clever mortar
Yeah, I'd have bought one of those if they'd been selling them here ๐
I've a got a few of their battery packs, and other devices
Yeah, just a little
i like how i got fancy charger cables
I've got one of their older chargers, and a bunch of cables, and some of their headphones
and apple noobs tell me they are nice and when i tell them they are cheaper than apple cables they loose their mind ๐
I also have an organiser like that, for when I travel, but a much smaller set ๐
nice ๐
My goal is take the minimum
minimum but high quality
not too expensive
aukey disappeared for some reason from aliexpress ๐ฆ
i liked their bricks
Yeah, I'm at the point in life where I can afford to buy good stuff, so I don't have to keep replacing it
cant wait to be there
It only takes time, patience, and the loss of your youth ๐
i spend my youth studying
didnt go clubbin like my friends would all week
now im 2 years ahead
๐ฎ
๐
now graduating and teaching myself how to start a company
๐
this is the brick im using in my backpack
plus 3 cables
Studying ๐คข
lol i stopped taking pints cause i noticed it wouldnt get me anywhere
such a loss of money and braincells when you do it 3x a week
I stopped studying because I noticed I didn't enjoy it 
Everybody learns differently
Last day of school for me I was 18 
I know folks that can't learn anything from "study", but learn insanely fast when it's hands-on
It might - depends on your goals
Unlikely to help with either of those
yet i got adviced first to graduate and get my title
๐
I know folks running successful companies who've barely made it out of school with anything
That'll never work out
@clever mortar where to get started ๐ฆ
Most of the really smart people I know have at most a vocational degree, I know a lot of stupid people with multiple bachelor or masters
Any company starts by finding a thing you can do that others will pay for ๐
i know i could stop after high school, yet this is just to make sure when i fail i can still start anywhere to work
Being good at something, or multiple things, or everything helps a lot 
im that type of person that thinks money makes happiness
A lot of the people I went to preschool for engineering with still work in gas stations still after 18 years , and they actually finished the engineering degree 
so in the end ill enjoy a good running business
will save that link thanks tinkerer
Peppa Pig jigsaw is great ๐

Repotted my lemon tree
where's the miflora sensor though 
miflora with zigbee would be great
ye, I'm not sure why xiaomi has both ble and zigbee stuff in their ranges
Because Xiaomi is just a meta-brand to sell different products from smaller companies
I'm building custom esp sensors
Also started cleaning out my desk while the baby is sleeping
is that the before or after? ๐
After
Vittu
I'm going to build in esp32, with relay boards and bucks into these boxes, with 9pin plugs for sensors
where do ou get your esp?
@clear ferry Found my Swag Bag from Re:Invent. Turns out I got some nice AMD socks ๐
Added Lifx bulbs in Conservatory No 4. tonight
@midnight adder The likes of AWS ReInvent tend to give decent swag. They'd want to for the price they charge to attend ๐
@midnight adder AliExpress 4 lyfe
@clear ferry good what led strip do you advice from ali? ๐
sk?
SK6812 I think it's the number

all of those will work
but on a budget
