"I love everything computers" - Svemat
NOT THIS!
I think i killed the focking bios by removing the battery beacuse some idiot at lenovo probably thought that it was a good idea
will be afk so if someone replies please ping me
Yeah, but the profit from the out of warranty replacements...
i have a couple old PowerEdge 1850 servers sitting in my garage
I think they're Pentium-4 era Xeon CPUs
1850, that is old for sure
haven't turned them on since i moved to this house 😂
You probably shouldn't
they drew like 250 watts at idle
Tbh, anything older than westmere these days is just rubbish
Or for that matter, sandy bridge really
Time flies
@amber bramble I've got a bunch of 1750s and 2950s
i built my computer with the i7-2600k when it was new. it's definitely transitioned from "blazing fast" to normal computer speed...
and video editing has gotten painfully slow on it
Have you overclocked it?
It's getting old for sure but with the overclocking potential those have you can still survive on them even today
@amber bramble I have a similar chip but the laptop version
yeah its still a great machine for day-to-day stuff.
thinking about grabbing one of the newer ryzen chips
I think I need a new motherboard for it
and motherboard... and ram...
And hard disks apparently
Probably a new PSU
at which point i might as well buy a bigger SSD and new power supply and just build a whole new computer 🙃
Cooler...
But I hardly know her!
RAM prices are up a bit but it's a pretty good time to upgrade thanks to the new Ryzens being a significant upgrade
Have others had problems with their NUCs? My dad called today as his second one died suddenly in just regular desktop use...
I can't take that level of support
@clear ferry you mean the immediate return for non working unit?
Or a new error every five seconds because your hands are made of the opposite of what gold are 
platinum?
@orchid rose what NUC?
I have had heat issues with my skull canyon nuc's with nvme's
Not sure, but I think it was from 2015 or so and i3. The previous one he had that died was a 2013 celeron one
I've not had a single problem with my skull canyon
I had 4 and had issues with 3 of the 4. A bit of chicken and egg. two nvme's and they all crash frequantly regardless of OS, use or purpose.
I can make the crash almost instantly if I make them transcode or fold.
oof... Can't wait for AMD to come up with similar stuff. I love the form factor for regular desktop use
I loved the form factor and have been running a Optiplex i5 for the last 6 months and have (or was) pleasantly surprised.
i'm a pretty big fan of the dell optiplex micro form factor
Then I decided to build a new machine for the first time in 20 years.
we've been getting those for all of our new desktops at work
haven't actually tried yet but i'm pretty sure you could get 2 of them in 1U of rack space
stand by
Yeah the USFF are pretty great too
two fit side by side in a single U with like 3 inches on the side
The power brick is a bit annoying with the NUCs
yeah, the ussf has a smaller 65w brick
I have a opti790 here and two will not fit in a rack
Was thinking of turning this i5 into my new HA rig but ESXI did not like the network device and I have not crossed that bridge yet.
I should get some new servers in my rack soon, some of these are pushing 15 years old and just being used as rails ATM 
My desk is as clean as ever 
nice heavy sliding shelves
Indeed
and if you hollow out the servers, they're nice protected drawers
I have enough drawers already 
SECRET DRAWERS

...did not like the network device and I have not crossed that bridge yet.
@raw estuary network. bridge. heh
Try not to be too jealous, 3B+ right here
Here's a proper server
That's way too clean
It's also very small
pretty sure atx has an atari 2600 mounted in that rack as a "server" lol
@scenic radish you using your tv as a monitor for your HA server? lol
HDMI-CEC integration actually
Also @forest edge you'll be happy to know I haven't touched my local COVID-19 program in over a week
Vizio is a tease. They list the Ethernet MAC address but the TV doesn't support WOL
on my vizio there's an eco mode you can disable and then you can send a command to it over the network to wake it up
@scenic radish lol i would imagine the daily changes shouldn't be too much these days
Been increasing slowly each day
ah
yeah there's a couple 2016 vizios at my church that i want to automate but they don't support the new smartcast firmware so i'm gonna have to hdmi-cec them with a couple pi zeros
Yeah HDMI-CEC works well
because you have to maintain happy thoughts while sending the magic packet, haven't you ever seen peter pan?



I'm not sure where it would fit channel wise, but maybe someone here is interested in controlling media players from the desktop? https://community.home-assistant.io/t/control-your-home-assistant-media-players-from-the-desktop/191555 🙂
Hi everyone, I got tired of opening my homeassistant homepage to change the current song or to see what is currently playing, so I created a small python project to bridge the media player entities with the desktop. Each active media player instance is exposed to the desktop...
Neat! sadly I use Gnome 
@hearty depot did you try it out? I thought gnome implements mpris
it's the common cross-desktop way to communicate with media players. things like spotify use it, too
Almost 1 here - just browsing with my phone
so if your gnome can control spotify (or chrome, or firefox), it supports mpris 🙂
okay, fair enough! anyway, it's nothing kde specific here. mpris is an interface players like vlc, spotify, mpv, and browsers (firefox, chrome at least, with extensions) support
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1379/mpris-indicator-button/ looks like it may not be included in the default gnome
Even don't have media buttons integrated, maybe I ll check out KDE, only using gnome because it's default
I found a recipe for this garlic cream sauce that is really good
E Z P Z
Oh and also it's literally 900 calories
Replace cream with milk and add cheddar to get my Mac,n cheese sauce
Why tf do these canned peas have sugar added to them?!
Wtf man!
@forest edge not a fan of garlic? Or cream? Or sauce? Or food.com? Or Google AMP?
Because it’s America? My parents lived in DC for a couple of years and they had to search out foods without so much sugar in them. They were sickened by how sweet everything was!! 😂
@scenic radish i'm a vampire, I like my coffee without cream, who eats sauce? food.what? Google AMPED!
@tough igloo ugh. I usually check the ingredients list first but I forgot I guess
@forest edge I also like coffee black
Like you like your men?
In the US, hard to find food without corn starch or sugars. Almost impossible!
There's a woman I work with who moved her family from US to Ireland because her daughter has a serious allergy to corn, or some element of corn.
It basically makes it impossible to survive in the US
If she has allergies to corn, better not live here 🤣
EVERYTHING has corn, corn syrup or other extracts.
She was in San Fran which means there's shops for EVERYTHING including people with corn allergies etc. I forget the exact details, but one of the suppliers changed who he was getting packaging from, and the new packaging had something related to corn in the lining, which triggered a reaction in her daughter. That hospital visit triggered the move to the Irish Office.
Guys, my fucking mqtt broker won't start and I can't turn my lights off. I want to sleep!
Logs r empty
flick them off at the switch and look tomorrow?
Also this is the lounge not the support channel.
if you still need a hand jump in one of the other channels and I will see if we can work through the issue. Wont ping you cause it seems like you might have gone to sleep.
lol ^^^ he did it
hi all, is there an easy way to add a clock on Lovelace? I added my Own value but it does not get updated constantly or do I have to tell it to update?
Let's go for three!
@wet pilot are you playing the covid-19 mod? lol https://youtu.be/tgX17Eifc2g

hmmm... I wonder if Gas flow monitors exist that work with HASS 🤔
Ska-la-vala, have you upgraded to 109?
Is a banana just a fruit sausage?
I think you got it backwards. A sausage is just a meat banana
MEAT BANANA
WALMART MEAT BANANA
NUMBER 15 BURGER KING MEAT BANANA
What the hell are you guys going on about?
Ooh nice
I also realized that I can now make one of my favorite appetizers ever
@velvet horizon you wouldn't understand
That sounds amazing
it's pretty fantastic
I found a company that makes a lid that fits on an instant pot that turns it into an air fryer
so BAM
always make sure to do that and I never forget my CDs
Is that a meat banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.
¿Por que no los dos?
Just found out why my website stopped working, provider put me on CGNAT instead of my fixed IP 😥\
I wouldn't mind buying something a few years old, that I might even be able to get used to save some money. I'm not sure I need a lot of the features of today's expensive routers
@rare condor switch to ipv6!
never!
why not lol
IPV4 4 LIFE
i just switched my externally-accessible services to ipv6
and then set up a cronjob to update my cloudflare AAAA DNS record with my server's ipv6 address
@scenic radish See here: https://ipv6excuses.com/
love it lol
IPv6 is for peasants who can't afford the limited supply of IPv4.
i just want ipv12 to be here already: https://twitter.com/_pronto_/status/1202246891129524226

Thoughts on this: So my Gas meter has a pulse magnetic output which records the current Gas flow. I was going to blutak a zigbee pulse sensor to record these pulses and better understand my energy usage. A plumber told me this was a terrible idea as the meter readers take photos and would think I was attempting to tamper with the meter. Furthermore its MultiNet Gas Property and they would pursue legal action.
::1
@hushed basalt I am curious your thoughts on this, was going to do something like this: http://www.electricbrain.com.au/pages/gas-meter-pulse-output.php
yeah if you don't actually have ownership of the meter i wouldn't do it
ugh i don't wanna work tomorrow
@scenic radish This is where it gets interesting I wasn't actually going to mount it just put it in proximity with a Stick.
Aliexpress enclosure just arrived.
i'm not touching you
@rare condor i would go ocr camera in the hatch of the meter box
More complicated and expensive but doesn't involve "attaching" anything
@hushed basalt Way overkill
do you know what discord server you're on?
Sure but like, surely if I had to go in front of a magistrate they would be reasonable and be like yeah.. nah. that's dumb.
Yeah if the reed switch is a no go

@clever mortar this is what Aussies wake up to, weak.
Killer animals, killer weather... yeah, no thanks 😉
Koala, just a nice Koala
Neat TIL you can buy spiders per kg

Man dealing with usb is such a pig
Whoever thought it would be so hard to pull bytes out of a barcode scaner
I played a lot with barcode scanners 15 years ago, made my own software to register computers in and out for repair
The most important thing was to remember to program the reader for the right barcode encoding
I'm using pyusb to capture the byte stream in HID mode
But.... Google, and NSA already does that, what does a third party matter? Redundant storage of my history 
So that's some sort of a systemwide keylogger then or how does it work?
like RAID but with your personal data!
Or is it just the "Browser" in Xiaomi phones that does this? Who uses that anyway 🤔
can i retrieve there back ups if mine is lost ?
I welcome someone to follow me or show up at front door step
You are probably amazing with a needle and tread yes @dull chasm
fixing your clothes if you show up on my doorstep, since 1977
needle == lead and thread == sight then yes
Hey, if you're listening, can I get a restore please
@clever mortar they only listen if you whisper that. ASMR and all that
i know alot too much about weapons but cant cook a damn thing ....can survive in forest thou ..... kinda sad
Lightly charred and semi-raw rabbit ✅
Tasty cooked meal ❌
yea ^^^^
the solution is to learn a tiny amount about everything and make it look like you're smarter than you really are when in reality you're living behind a thin veneer
So... techie 🤔
sounds about right lol
i tell ya thou .... cooking over a fire with nothing but fire and meat .....seems to taste very good
grilled food is best food
i make a killer grilled chicken breast and it just involves coating the breasts in olive oil and seasoning with salt and Hot Shot ™️ seasoning (red and black pepper mix)
i am talking about just skinning and cooking in the field ...nothing extra
O
yeah i'd probably die in the wild
i could probably make a good shelter but not sure about anything else
i'm too domestic
its not hard hell its what mankind has done for thousands of years
but there's no xbox in the wild
sure daily dodging of the wild animals .... just dont get to reset
@scenic radish not with that attitude
hmm... ok so it's like minecraft hardcore mode
i can dig it
and an inverter
@scenic radish Cody's Lab had a whole series where he was doing hard rock mining
and he called it something like that
lol love it, i'll have to check it out
late last year he bought some land out in the middle of nowhere in Nevada and he's been showing how he's been homesteading it
as of now he's got a chicken coop and some GIGANTIC water tanks out there that he's modified to be hydroponic greenhouses
pretty damn interesting. That series is called "Chicken Hole Base" or sometimes CHB
i love them series stuff but only problem is it needs money to be started ....but if it where on a barter system it would be better aka i provide you this you give me this
that's his whole channel
I provide you these videos, youtube gives me money
I buy stuff to expand the homestead and make more videos
rinse, repeat
aka i have chickens which can provide meat and eggs and you have pigs we can trade LOL
not a true off the grid thing ...that is just for youtube money
He's been living there off the grid occasionally and intends to full-time once he's got his underground living quarters going
Haven’t watched Cody’s lab videos for a while. Need to catch up.
@tidal bronze you gotta step up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IcfpSgZbno

that looks way too damn expensive ^^^^ i left preview on just to show his rack
nice rack
That guy gets so many sponsorships, free goodies and 💰 from his YouTube videos.
haha i just watched that video yesterday
Curious to know how much of that he got for free or highly discounted because of his youtube videos
dont know but manf did not get much credit ...ie explaining exactly what thier equipment can do
that entire house is nuts
I'm sure it's real affordable
i mean they only have a $1000 kitchen faucet 🤷♂️
cue picture of wall of 5 racks stuffed with equipment
okay, now pan to the other side of the room where there's another 3 racks full of shit for structured wiring
nice
I have been in a house like that, that was built over 10 years ago
it's pretty impressive
there were dedicated audio video racks per 2-3 rooms
I'm not sold on the "hidden speaker" idea though. If one of the speakers goes out you then have to rip a hole into your wall to fix it
Yeah, he had those, with speakers behind a linen wall
they were tuned perfectly based on placement and fabric thickness
in the main house only though, over two floors
LOL it would be nice to use channels of amps depending on requirment and not dedicated
Thats a really high dollar smart home setup. I prefer automating on the cheap though 🙂
Did he just point at a samsung frame TV and then mention Dolby vision, ignorance is bliss I guess. 😜
@fiery nebula yeah, the one I was in was probably $2-4mill just for the smart stuff of it
I remember teh first time I saw home automation. It was at epcot at disney world about 15 years ago,
But... is it useful or relevant?
Maybe?
Pictures too 😱
i bet my pocket book doesnt allow nor space
they say svs is a little better than klipsch but they are much bigger
There are smaller dual throws but 2nd one will need to run 180°
out of my budget thou ....hell i gotta save up just to get the $900 spl-150
then i got to make sure @clever mortar can feel it
I am looking into sonarray
If you can't feel the music from a few hundred KM away, you're not loud enough yet
sonarray?
32ohm outdoor array
oh shit ..... i gotta stop talking to ya ...you cost too much
i am just hoping Klipsch has a xmas in july on that sub ....but prolly not they usually only do for lower end items
Nice SSL errors @tidal bronze
@dull chasm watch for Frys deals....they often come up with 50% off on klipsch stuff
that was actually how i upgraded all my speakers to klipsch lol took about a month or so
every other week a different set of speakers would be like 50-60% off....near black friday prices
yea i got my towers, rears and ceiling speakers all on sale
how many channels you have?
i got a 5.1.2 setup here
oh okay 7.4.2 here
no 2 subs 4 atmos
oooh ok
i was thinking of adding 2 more atmos but those amps are pricey and we actually sit behind our atmos speakers anyways so it wouldnt benefit us much
i got the outlaw 5000 to power extra channels
well not really ....outlaw does biamp to mains and one center and yamaha does rest
ah i got a cheap onkyo lol
i love onkyo but they have not kept up
my next move is away from 3080 to just a preamp but that is in the future as i will need a amp per channel
@dull chasm any Crown gear?
they're proud of their stuff
Lol, the people in audio really know how to rake in money from suckers
There's a 🍭 born every minute
@clear ferry i will put my audio system to test with anything with equal watts/per channell .... there is always better but i am in a decent stage not the best but not entry level
I don't say you can't hear the difference, but 98% of people can't tell the difference between a turntable worth 600 and one worth 100
Nearly 900 workers at Tyson meat plant in Indiana test positive for coronavirus - https://thehill.com/homenews/news/495564-nearly-900-workers-at-tyson-meat-plant-in-indiana-test-positive-for-coronavirus
Holy shit. That's almost half of them...
People wonder why Corona will destroy the us, because of stuff like this
My fiancee and I are planning for the possibility of needing to reschedule our wedding that's set for December
We're hoping a court house or something will still be open so we can get officially married but just not have the reception until a later time
instead of rice people will toss covid
We didn't bother with reception, court House marriage is nice
$30 total cost, plus buying witnesses dinner
your government is just happy your people marrying another human atx and not some goat
Not my fault your cousin rejected you 
yea unemployment benifits are a bitch right now
The only time the Norwegian government servers crash is when we have tax returns, everybody logs in at the same time
To check their own and other people's taxes and incomes
one of the issues is Trump adding that additional $600 a week on unemployment checks. That made people who could have stayed employed quit their jobs and try and collect unemployment but because those people don't qualify and the state has to check that stuff it dragged down the whole entire system. so you got the average joe, those who are legit and then those morons who who could have kept working all trying to get money
anyone who is that stupid deserves the nothing that they'll get
iirc unemployment is only for involuntary termination without cause
they make bs claims like fear of catching the virus etc etc as thier reasoning but they done shot themselves in the foot before they learn whatever thier reason is , it's irrelevant because to qualify for the additiona money they have to meet certain criteria
the whole thing is a mess that will take till next year to clean up lol
Hey guys! I really enjoy hassio home assistant in general. How do i donate some money towards this awesome project and community?
Okay i did that already. Hope to donate or buy other suff. Really love it

I still think olden days of internet is much more cleaner. Like those Netscape days
much uglier though
Sure, crappy looking fo sure. But much less spam, ads, trackers...etc
less spam? Do you remember the popup hell?
lol. That was later.
@scenic radish for the love of Dog, don't fork my repo then, you don't want all this hardware in your ant condo
Pop ups on modem is epic.

@Mød
@clear ferry STOP IT. One more complaint from @scenic radish , you are out 🤣
I lol'd at "ant condo"
lol. You can’t stop folks from forking your repo atx.
even if it contains docker training 🤷♂️
🤣

I think that was in reference to this: https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/397426163649216512/705855978054221874

I think it was @light trout that got me in trouble.
even if it contains docker training 🤷♂️
Am I missing a reference here
Ludeeus I see that surveillance card got dumped. told you it was brokered lol

They are still out there from all the forks if you need them 🤣
I feel like i could have accomplished so much crap during this covid downtime yet I did nothing lol
Wow! How come they didn’t close those repos? I should file a complaint

wtf vvga and com serial ports?

it's like they put those on there just for the sake of getting rid of old stock lol
i hate messing with serial ports but its a heck of a lot better than encrypted cloud garbage

That is a pita to hack in the field

new weather card with Slate theme appreciation message
"sick people"

so you're a light themer @scenic radish
OH THE HORROR

The dark card looks nice tho
the 'light theme' croud
@fathom sparrow tbh I got sick of dark themes
I leave my devices on auto
Night light is my solution to that
I had automations for sunrise/sunset theme changing on HA too, but some events started breaking and now I just set it Slate all the time
I run dark mode on anything I can
And f.lux on my screens
And circadian lighting on all my bulbs
I leave my devices on auto
@obtuse cedar actually my computer now is always on dark mode
but my phone’s on auto
with night shift (my eyes don’t hurt at all)
I love the feature Saab has
whats that

punny
I like it
I have so much crap to do in my interface but I don't feel like doing it
this quarantine is the dumps
I do less travel, and work itself is much the same
I just don't see the team face to face, which is ... interesting
Hard to pick up on the little non-verbal hints that somebody's maybe not ok when you're not seeing them
🤣
_kevin you are such a noob, don't run Ubuntu 🤢 _
I just miss the human contact
are you running proxmox? Leave right now
What, you can't find the Ubuntu installer, here have FreeBSD, it's very similar
and going for runs alone is boring af
I'm classic intravert and even I'm finding this a bit much
Human contact?? Going for a run????!?
You should seek a doctor for that
haha
I'm an extreme introvert, and I enjoy it
Gotta train for the spartan races
My wife is an extreme introvert, she's even going nuts
I live alone which probably helps, but this no contact thing has been great for me personally
We are both, and we dispise people, so we are fine 
whens the last time you saw someone else @light trout ?
Pizza guy 15 min ago if that counts
I go shopping once a week, and go to a single customer site every week, other than that I'm just home mostly
Perfect
I sure as heck don't miss the commute
you guys would hate the street I live on. It's basically a family party on our culdesac everyday. 9 million parents and kids forming a train of kiddy cars
ew lol
We don't like people in Norway
norwegians don't "mingle" they just glare
Lol
Upstate NY here, suprisingly friendly and social
gonna buy the house next to atx and play the music really loud and come over andring the doorbell once evvery 15 mins lol
not everyone in the US is friendly, but there's nods everywhere
can't walk by a person without making that awkward smile face
Here most folks just look straight ahead or down
Yup
even when someone is on the ground yelling for help, they just walk on by
Not my problem 🤷
I should just come there and try to acknowledge everyone
Someone would probably call the cops on you
No one even says good morning?
No

not even the tiger king
I like people. I also like solitude.
No you dont
Yup.....although, more and more, either I am getting old or people are becoming more ass-hole-ish
You need water, food and internet
Ocean
I dont "need" by definition. But if i want to stay sane, then i 'need' it.
otherwise i get sucked into arguments about yaml
is your local area pretty covid calm petro?
really? gotten or have?
But doctors arn't allowing tests
gotten
I can feel it during runs
lung capacity is lower than it was 2 months ago and I run about 100 miles a month
no reason for me to regress
some of that could just be out of shape lol
hate to see a study about obesity in the US now haha
100 miles a month, pretty sure that is your problem
it's not too bad
100 miles a month?
I don't think I have done that in total my entire life
can norwegian even run? i didn't think your legs split enough part for that lol
I will not try
i bet atx would look like if someone tried to make a pair of scissors walk across a flat surface
Only symptoms I had were a mild cough and I can't breath in as deep
I thought they expanded testing in NY to those without all symptoms?
they are activvly looking for those with antibodies after all lol
so when you hear all the 'ny' news, they are talking about downstate
I.e. nyc & long island
oh so when they say NY they just mean the city not the state lol gotcha
yup
super shitty
So I had the symptoms, and i still can't get a test
not even an antibodies test
that sucks
you pretty much have to be dying to get tested
you really don't want to get the current test for covid anyways, better to wait
that swab thing is a nightmare
no but seen videos, plus i think someone in here linked a video for it
it'll feel like a big booger going the other way
once you watch that you'll think diffrentlky of it lol
you are correct
thankfully they came out with much better test they just aren't as mass produced as the swab test atm
certianly would want to know if this turns out to be something that come back yearly
You should upgrade
I'll wait til the dust settles, I have the synology integration and I'm dragging my feet
Works fine for me
Did you have to rename everything when switching to the UI?
Ludeeus is it possible to add a means of seeing what gets download through hacs the most?
I added it for the first time yesterday 🤣
There kina is already @forest edge
oh?
Hacs is currently the most downloaded
I know
it would be cool for a download counter on the plugins, integrations, etc
Are you talking about the 'release' tab on git?
i did not know that
so where can i see that?
github stars for every repo tho right?
yes, so sorting by that give you an idea
be kind of neat to see what's "hot" or whateer by glance in the hacs listing
Hmm, none of my apps have the download counter
So i'm clearly doing something wrong with the releases
o.m.g this guy keeps updating the bar card!
hacs.zip is a relese asset and counts, the "Source code" files does not count
ah ok, i'll look up how to get the hacs.zip working
oh i see in the sorting drop down you made stars be sortable
I just NOW seen that lol
not sure that is supported for apps, but we can discuss that elsewhere @fathom sparrow
Been there for a loooooooong time @forest edge 😄
Not really a big deal @light trout , just curious as to how many people may or may not be using the apps
https://hacs.xyz/help join the hacs discord server and ping me tomorrow, Im to tired to test/check today 😛
@light trout something like this based off integration or whatever with most stars or whatever would be cool.
that will not happen as long as I maintain it
not possible or just think it would be like favoritism?
yea but sometimes quick glance is nice
Popular just encourages folks to go begging for stars
We've been there before
It wasn't pretty 😬
well it dosen't have to say popular or be a banner, just something that indicates many like it
the dev can do whatever in the description to get attention anyway :p
Sorting by start give you that indication
I didn't want to add that, but did as it was the lesser of multiple evils (one which was a banner)
so here's my plan, incorporate hacs.zip, make a bot that downloads it 500 times an hour, profit
if you do authenticated calls, you can do 5000/h
It's gotta be somewhat realistic
I somehow just brought up developer tools for discord
F12 is not the hotkey
it is in most web/electron apps
i closed it but don't know how to get it back
ctrl+shift+i
yep, no clue how i accidentally did that
😂
yup 🤣
I had no idea this was built on html
It makes sense that everything moves that direction because everything can already handle it
lol
it has not for me
same here
🤣
emogies everywhere
ohh microcenter only wants 30 bucks for a 240gb inland ssd lol
wow not bad, too bad i dont have a microcenter close by though 😦
Couple things:
- That's a weird ipv6 address
- I didn't know there was an
Extra Friesfilter
asking if you want a few crispy fries or you want more than a few (extra) plain jane fries
Woo neighbor cut my fiber line mowing their lawn
Oh no...
No internet until tomorrow
wait, so how do i get the extra fries filter?
Fuck heads never buried it
what
oh wow
how the fuck is that possible
that's like, what you do when you install
also, how do you not see a giant cable
they do the same with cable lines. they leave them laying on the ground and someone is suppose to come in after and push it a few inches in the ground with a tool
They cut my line while burying my neighbors' back in Jan. I caught them in the act and they ran an emergency connection. They apparently never filed the ticket to bury it
same guy laid and pushed into the ground at my house
wait, so how do i get the extra fries filter?
@fathom sparrow your filesystem has to be FAT32
get it?
i'm way ahead of you @scenic radish FAT64
Just had them back out here Tuesday to bitch and it was scheduled to be re-burried on the 15th
what state or country?
Apparently the ditch crews are backed up. Also they gotta sound out the gas lines and stuff
NC, US
so, I called to have some lines marked on thrusday last week
fiber lines don't go in the ground anywhere near deep enough to reach gas lines etc lol
they were painted friday end of day
cable/fiber is about 2 - 3 inches deep at most
yea
@forest edgeil if they want to use a ditchwitch they have to get marked for insurance reasons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
well, seems like you got some idiots running shit
wait, they claim they need to use a ditchwith to bury the fiber line?
something isn't right lol
Eh they didn't claim they had to but they always do around here
we have a dude with a little tool that rotates
takes 1 guy 5 minutes to bury a lin e
you got something fucked up, they use the same method with fiber as the do coax and they use a push tool to push it into the ground a few inches, takes someone like 2 minutes to do the whole job at most
yah, it basicallly depends on the guys walk speed and strength
atx it may takje 30 mins or so, tediore, it may never get finished but you get a good quadflight in there and it's done in 30 seconds
We've always had our lead ins buried
In a trench
Except todays standards it's just leave it on the fence
are your runs on telephone poles though?
usually everything for new builds in the US are underground unless your runs are on telephone polls
poles*
fuck
Most areas have been underground since original copper installation in the 50s
not the north east
Coax may be different but in my state there's basically no pole telecoms
most towns/areas around here are old, everythings above ground. We built our house in `16 so all our stuff is underground
I put all my stuff underground from abovve ground when i remodeled 10 or so years ago
I'd take pole mounted if it meant we actually got fibre
I can't say any of the houses I've lived with above ground power had any unusually high power outages
ugh and nice storms
No ice here :)
ice*
Sounds like your linesmen need to prune some trees
ice itself can cause the line to snap
but it's usualy limbs
ancient old ass transformers have been the pain of many's backside
one thing power companies don't seem to want to ever replace
There's still transformers on the ground
Sounds like it's more a case of poor maintenance than the fact it's above ground
Transformers are usually on the poles around here
whats maintence? power companies don't do shit till it's broke period
do the ones on the ground light up like the one's on the poles?
never seen a ground one blow up, only one's on poles
I didn't see it go, just heard it 😛
One on the ground blew??
I’m in the process of putting landscaping around the one at my house
Dunno, wasn't close enough to check out
lol welp there goes your roses
It’s rocky in my area, got a boulder the size of a car in front of it
A smart car
@wet pilot did you set yourself up to use cell data as backup for your local network?
yea, thats what I use lol
I think I still have the one for my phone somewhere. Use esim these days
That's pretty cool
What else can I add on my HA instance without any actual hardware? 😛
Covid counter?
@wet pilot That is depressing 😛
Thanks for the suggestions 😛
Commute times.
SNMP will definetely be cool. I happen to have OpenWRT
Also if you have a UPS
You could get stats from that
Also think of any online accounts you use that have scrapable or APIs
Battery statuses of phones and tablets as well with HA apps
How do you router stats?
@dull belfry what is that medicine reminder automation?
@last plaza Reminder to take meds. It does a simple tts to my google home on working days in the morning
@green inlet depends on the router
@dull belfry did something similar myself. More configurable.
That looks cool 😄
@green inlet most routers support snmp.
Snmp is more real-time. If you have it on any device you use it, you can set it up in HA very easily.
I guess I already use snmp with nagios. Thought maybe stats would be someth8ng else
how does HA know you taken your suppository @last plaza ? lol
The pill box has a sensor.
I don't think my tomato router has snmp
like really? how did you do the sensor?
I thought about setting something up but I know I'd always forget to manually tick off the taken part
not sure if there is a way for google reminders to let HA know I dismissed or whatever
I added xiaomi door sensor to the box I made.
@forest edge then added that code to HA
If you don’t take the medicine before the specified time, it will remind you until you open and close the box. It only does when you are home. When you are away from home, it automatically goes into holiday mode and won’t remind you using TTS and all.
nice
I use my home security system as an indication that we are away from home. And switches holiday mode automatically
You can use any logic. Like device trackers...etc
I could probably attach one half of a door sensor to the bottom of my pill box and the other half to the window sill and then when I pick up the pill box it breaks the connection. that should work the same way
Yep
I have a weekly pill box but I keep it on the window sill in the kitchen and wouldn't want to move from that
Ok... we keep the medicines in one box and no one else touches the box. It works out well. I could make it more robust, it works for now.
if I had kids mine would be locked away but so far the cats haven't seem to get into it lol
That’s a nice ass box, someone has a wood-working shop.
@hushed basalt, pretty sure all routers have snmp. I don’t think it is firmware specific. But 🤷🏼♂️
@green inlet too bad. That shop is only open 4 months a year. I could never do woodworking in winter with all the cars in the garage + extremely cold weather.
Yea, I spent like 6 weekends when we moved in building a pretty nice workbench. My wife mostly uses it now. Either too hot or too cold in the garage
Nice!!!
I'm going to try and insulate a garage when I have a house
Need to make sure it has shuttered ventilation though for exhaust
Carbon monoxide poisoning is no joke
Maybe a smart CO sensor and some powered shutters?
there are already automatic vent fans that install on the roof
many solar powered
vents.. some havve fans
You don't want them in your roof
You want it in the walls
You definitely don't want to pull air into your ceiling cavity. and you don't want them running when they don't need to otherwise what's the point of insulating it
umm like most gases CO and such rise lol
and these aren't like attic fans lol
you don't lose all your heat lol
well unless you get the ones designed for venting heat to a certian temp
you might be wanting a fume extractor if your wanting more precise
if your garage has a flat roof then you probably could get away with wall mounting it up high
if it has a peak you don't want a wall mounted vent
How would you not lose all your heat
the vents only open to let gas escape then close. You thought there was a way to vent gas and keep heat?
a fume extractor would be more efficient at venting just gas and less heat
but i never seen anyone doing woodworking use one of them
