scenic radish

@clear ferry What is your main issue with upnp?

clear ferry
#

security

fading zodiac
#

hm?

clear ferry
#

upnp == automatic opening of ports and more

scenic radish
#

anything on your network can open a port when it wants to

fading zodiac
#

Oh dear

#

So, can you demonstrate something on my net when i give you my ip?

orchid rose
#

What do you mean?

fading zodiac
#

Oh wait

#

anything on my network

#

i've read it wrong

orchid rose
#

It's not necessarily awful but if you know how to configure your network you have no real use for it

#

It's mostly meant for people who try to do multiplayer gaming on their console and can't πŸ˜‰

fading zodiac
#

Today @clear ferry told me that UPNP got me my networks up and down in HA.

#

@orchid rose So if i disable upnp, i lose that func

orchid rose
#

atx knows much more about networks than I do, trust what he says πŸ™‚

fading zodiac
#

He tells me to use OID

clear ferry
#

Use SNMP

fading zodiac
#

But i have no clue how to set that up easy

clear ferry
fading zodiac
#

Yes SNMP required OID

clear ferry
#

If you can

fading zodiac
#

And i have no clue how to make that work :/

orchid rose
#

atx also thinks that everyone should have full blown servers at their home so maybe actually don't trust what he says πŸ€”

fading zodiac
#

See

clear ferry
#

Full blown ? Nah, just something that isnt ShittyServer 2000 or LulzSwitch 4000 🀣

fading zodiac
#

@clear ferry So , would you update to a Ryzen 5 3600 or a ryzen 7 2700x?

clear ferry
#

AMD 🀒

fading zodiac
#

Shush

#

I didnt ask for brand bs

clear ferry
#

Does 25 year worth of computer building count as experience rather ?

orchid rose
#

My Netgear router with a USB disk makes a great NAS and the 2013 NUC is a fantastic server πŸ˜‰

#

3000-ryzens are better for gaming. If you need the extra cores then the 2000-series is fine I suppose

fading zodiac
#

@clear ferry i have 15

#

HA!

#

πŸ˜‚

#

you fell for it

#

Anyway

#

@orchid rose I feel my 2600 is having issue atm .

#

I'm wondering, are there motherboards doing DOCP per group of 2 banks?

orchid rose
#

what's DOCP?

fading zodiac
#

XMP on Asus boards

orchid rose
#

On Ryzen you should tinker with the RAM a bit if you want the max performance

fading zodiac
#

I have 2 sets of ram.

#

But one is running slow.

orchid rose
#

You can manually adjust everything in those billion settings that ram has. There's a tool that helps you out with that called Ryzen DRAM calculator

fading zodiac
#

Yes, but i have 2 brands of ram...

orchid rose
#

Then you're probably fucked

fading zodiac
#

Yes.

orchid rose
#

I don't know if it's possible to run different timings on different slots, but it sounds like a bad idea

Hello,
Not quite sure this is the right channel to present myself?
Well let's go πŸ™‚ I am Guillaume, I work in IT and installed HomeAssistant on my RPi (without docker) after 2 or 3 years of domoticz. I have a zigate and 10 zigbee devices, a TPLink switch, a roomba, a 3D printer and a lot of ideas! I just want to add how fantastic HA is and thank everyone for the great job so far!

Hello Guillaume dance

that's pretty awesome, ngl

fading zodiac

Yes

@orchid rose DOIT

orchid rose
#

Nah, I'm not that awesome

#

Mimiix, why not sell the other ram and buy a matching set?

fading zodiac
#

I might

#

I think i switch to ryzen 3600 first

orchid rose

I really doubt it's a worthwhile upgrade from 2600

#

watched a thing last night about how our food supply is split between public and commercial and cannot be switched so while shelves at grocery stores were going empty farmers were dumping milk and breaking eggs and shit

#

you would think by now we would have something better in place that wasn't so unflexing

clear ferry
#

yeah I read that the other day

#

and just though wtf murica

forest edge
#

it's kind of dumb they didn't think that through and not just our governments fault, individual business who deal with that stuff that are going under could have set something up lol

rare condor
#

Starting in April, we’re requiring all Nest users who have not enrolled in two-factor authentication or migrated to a Google Account to take an extra step by verifying their identity via email. - hmmm... I wonder if this will affect the Integration

#

@shy comet You said the same comments about the yaml post yesterday

wet pilot
#

hmm, doesn't say they're forcing the migration so maybe not?

rare condor
#

Its required that you use an emailed code but I suppose that wouldn't be a problem with the API tokens

I need to stop quoting names, I am jumping back and forth between IRC and i forget how jarring it is to quote someone on Discord.

it's fine when used appropriately

yea wtf

#

and in ohio

last dirge
#

I'd be willing to bet my house those people are the same people that complained about others blocking traffic during protests

scenic radish
#

yeah @shy comet i swear i must be missing something because i feel like what they announced in the YAML post isn't a big deal. i mean, i like configuring integrations in YAML (and anyone who's seen my config knows how well i have it split out), but i really only care about automations, scripts, etc. being configured in YAML and i can't imagine they'd remove that

rare condor

Were they the Church group who went to Walmart?

scenic radish

oh and template sensors and stuff

@rare condor no, these were the idiots that blocked a hospital

I need to send @scenic radish that candy

rare condor

why were they trying to kill people

sounds like attempted murder, maybe manslaughter if premeditation can't be proven

rare condor
#

@last dirge what did you decide for the control system for the pump (Arduino?)

last dirge
#

I still haven't decided yet

#

I found a pump that'll just regulate pressure and pump whenever it "sees" a pressure dip on its high side

#

and it's okay if it runs dry

#

so I'll probably just use an ESP platform

it'll be so nice now that brian LONGNAME does not fill up my whole mobile screen when I tag him 🀣

I'm looking for recommendations

last dirge

do you want a cordless drill or do you want a hammer drill?

because if you get one that combines those things it won't be much good at either

and do you mean hammer drill or impact driver?

forest edge

that T fitting that dumps from the top to bottom have an air valve on it?

scenic radish

I think my impact driver is my favorite tool of all time

last dirge
#

@forest edge no

green inlet
#

The good ole Georgia deck. Time to seal it

forest edge
#

you should add one. they make bleeder flaps for plumbing that don't allow water to travel back through that would work with what you got there

otherwise air gets trapped and the water trickles

the end of that tee is bushed to 3/4 with a plug right now

You're thinking of a rotary impact drill

Rotary hammer**

last dirge

yeah, the other kind of "hammer drill" is shit

hushed basalt
#

I disagree

#

There's plenty of great cordless hammer drills

last dirge
#

@hushed basalt are you talking about these things?

hushed basalt
#

No

#

I'm talking about drills for drilling holes in brick

last dirge
#

then get a rotary hammer

#

@forest edge there's one of those under my kitchen island

hushed basalt
#

That's way overkill for brick

forest edge
#

water flows best when there is a vent

hushed basalt
#

Plus you need a power cord and it's way heavier than it needs to be

#

I'm not trying to drive into concrete

last dirge
#

there's a vent path all the way back up

#

bottom tank is connected to the output of the top tank

forest edge
#

I know

#

and when you havve water in both that's when flow gets restricted

tidal bronze
#

@hushed basalt Dewalt XR if you are not going for concrete

last dirge
#

they're essentially the same tank

forest edge
#

you'll find out what i'm talking about soon enough lol

last dirge
#

I'd go Milwaukee or Makita over Dewalt

#

they've got a LOT more stuff in their ecosystem that uses that same battery

#

@forest edge I'd have to run that air vent up higher than the highest water input, wouldn't I?

#

nope, right at the t fitting would be fine

tidal bronze
#

@hushed basalt or M18 hammer drill. Both same price range

last dirge
#

@forest edge this is definitely a wait and see situation

#

otherwise I have to replace most of that pipe and fittings

#

the vent thing has to be installed vertically

forest edge
#

your using a pump on the bottom or still trying gravity pressure?

last dirge
#

pump

hushed basalt
#

I have ryobi atm but I hate it

#

I don't have a cordless hammer drill though

last dirge
#

brick doesn't really need a hammer drill

#

just a masonry bit in a not shitty drill will get it done

#

concrete is a whole different animal though

#

tool only, $570

#

lol

hushed basalt
#

Yeah I'm familiar with those ;)

forest edge
#

with a pump you won't notice much, it will still put a slight strain on the pump but nothing major

hushed basalt
#

Want to see expensive look for chasers

forest edge
#

I would consider adding a vvent in the future for sure tho regardless

last dirge
#

that vent is to let air IN, isn't it?

forest edge
#

yea for flow

last dirge
#

the pipe comin out the top of all of that is 3"

forest edge
#

the issue is ONLY when you havve water in both tanks

#

it can't syphon air through water

last dirge
#

why would it need to even if it's gravity feeding?

forest edge
#

what would happen is, the top tank would be slower refilling the bottom than the output you have coming out of the bottom tank etc

last dirge
#

water going out the bottom would pull water out of the bottom tank, through the pipe, through the top tank which will have air behind it

forest edge
#

so imagine draining the bottom tank then having to wait for the top to refill the bottom before using it lol

last dirge
#

that won't happen

#

the bottom tank will be filled by the top tank as the water is pushed out the bottom tank

forest edge
#

flow gets restricted in that pipe that connects the two

last dirge
#

that pipe's the same diameter as the outlet valve

hushed basalt
#

I need to print one of these for dust collection

#

I also need to get a 3d printer

last dirge
#

and it'll be significantly larger than whatever's actually connected at the bottom

forest edge
#

let me see if I can find something that better explains what i'm talking about

last dirge
#

thinking about reworking my deck misting system this year

#

it doesn't work that well

hushed basalt
#

12v is way better for general purpose

forest edge
#

love how they have neat little diagrams for water systems cept this scenario lol

#

like i said with a pump you may not notice but the stretch of pipe that connects the two water containers is where you will get restriction it's inevitable because you have bends and it's not a straight vertical pipe

#

size of the pipe is irrelevant

last dirge
#

the pump I'm using will be about 5 gallons per hour

#

err minute

#

so it would take an hour to empty the bottom tank

forest edge
#

so that's another thing you'll have to watch for

#

water carries air, if air cannot escape for any reason back into the top tank the bottom tank won't fill completely with trapped air

#

like a straw when you see air bubbles between two stretches of coke or liquid

#

most of those plumbing vents allow air to go both ways for balance but some only allow air in. you want balance.

Hyperv 🀒

Never seen anyone done that in Hyperv tbh

Hyper-V doesn't allow the pass-through of a USB-attached device on a host to a VM. This would break the desired abstraction of the VM from the hardware, and therefore stop VM mobility

#

AOS should have died two seasons ago

shy comet
#

lol

#

it was defnitely more fun when it had more movie tie ins

#

like first season if you watched it alnog with the movies was really well done

#

the new D+ shows will be good

clear ferry
#

D+ is a farce, since we don't even have it in Europe yet, so all of Europe is just pirating everything

#

Think it was slated for release in September in the UK

#

Probably later in Scandinavia

#

What would be the best channel for discussion the pros and cons of ESPHome vs Tasmota?

#

In the past I've just programmed my NodeMCUs directly, but I have a decent number of them now and would like the support (specifically OTA updates) that these packages seem to provide

tidal bronze
#

@shy comet all you need is pi, esp8266 and leds.

shy comet
#

hmm i got all that

#

well WS2811 strips

#

that were supposed to be returned to amazon but ups never picked up

#

they ended up returning the item they were delivering like wtf lol

tidal bronze
#

Lol. If you have wled running takes may be 15 minutes to get it going.

#

I was staying away from all that hdmi capture headache. This is so much better.

#

Sunday going to work on getting audio sync dialed in to TV lights + room lights.

shy comet
#

i did have it running but the lights weren't getting power from the esp8266 i dont have a power inverter unless i can power them from the pi?

#

im a bit of a noob in the DIY realm lol

tidal bronze
#

Not from the pi.

#

Get a psu from amazon.

tidal bronze
#

That's way too much.
