Good on you. We've been cooking a lot more in home and maybe ordering out (including pizza) once a week. I've gotten much better at cooking and baking, no complaints!

Deer hunting is a thing here, so I'd love to have a bunch of deer meat around to cook with. it's tasty

rabbit is also a fine meal, although I find it tough
even across the bridge here over in canada, fast food is more expensive and somewhat "better"

TF you need whale and seal meat for?

Isn't seal pretty high in fat? I'd think it's probably fairly taste-dense

@forest edge 1.84usd it seems as 135 rubles

Clubbing the baby seal though. I'm good. plenty of other tasty bits around

@brave panther black meat, very much oil, but very tasty if prepared right
dire dawn
TF does moose taste like, though?
dire dawn
so, somewhat like deer?
clear ferry
Pretty close to raindeer, a little bit more gamey
brave panther
(re: deer) Ehhh sort of, yeah.
forest edge
gamey 🤢
brave panther
i've heard from hunter friends that a lot of the "gamey" in those meats is just bad preparation. I've had deer that tastes great and deer that tastes bad.
forest edge
the one and only time i ate deer it was gross
brave panther
something to do with not draining it or cleaning it soon enough

buck can be rough. doe is almost always great, unless it's just burgers
@forest edge you need to get some venison jerky or sausage

Same with whale and seal, have to put it in cold water for a day or two before frying it, because of all the oil in the meat

@clear ferry pipes in pipes?

Yes, all water pipes go inside larger pipes
So if the inner pipe breaks, there is no leak
And I think newer ones have sensors inside the larger pipe
clever mortar
Sounds like you live somewhere that has sane housing standards 🤔
forest edge
you call pipes within pipes to stop a leak sane?
whatever caused the leak is bound to deteriorate into pieces, those pieces could get stuck and cause issues

There might be custom firmware available for your Asus router too

I've looked into the ER-x, and the USG. ER-x vs. price is decent, however USG vs. price is ridiculous for a device dating back to 2014 - but I've got a bit more experience with UniFi through the AP, on the Pi/now-VM. ER-x has a bit of the same issue there, but with a lower price-tag.
Mikrotik seems more up-to-date hardware wise, with a price that matches the ER-x, but the GUI seems very.. basic, 1990. I feel like I need quite a bit (read: lot) more networking knowledge in order to work with RouterOS, than I need for working with UniFi.
UDM has a high pricetag, though definitely has the hardware.. yet, its wattage is rated at twice that my current Ryzen server is running at, alternative is a USB network adapter, and trying out pfSense - did install it on a VM just to check it out. Sure is a lot of settings vs. my * coughs * ASUS.

I spent a weekend driving a machine which basically layered stone under the soil to leave the top good for grass and leave good drainage. Big massive Fendt 1050MT which was able to pull this machine at around 1/2kph!!! The way it worked was really cool. Get into the field, drive the perimeter for the little onboard computer to learn the field. Mark out where there's any obstacles such as trees or powerlines, and then drive to it's starting point.
Prep the machine, which mostly involved removing some safety pins for the road, jump back up and hit start. Then startup the PS2 and let it rip.
The only reason I was really there was as a pair of smart hands if someone odd happened the machine. Outside of stopping to grab food, I only had to get off three times in two days when sensors weren't sure what they were seeing!

some of the inovelli stuff works without a neutral, but not sure about this
undone aspen
I don't know, I need to check into it, still, but, it's a highly probable issue.
This one, they have a v2 clause on that.
So, v1, will likely require the neutral
Definitely some interesting stuff though.
I might, at the VERY least, if I have a neutral, have the ability to use a simple on-off switch at the least, in the current setup.
Keyword, though.. IF.
okay... Off to put one more sensor up.
undone aspen
Still funny though. The Ecobee Smart sensors are very very delayed motion sensors. Better for occupancy detection due to that, which is their intention.
I finally found out where to put my final old zigbee multi sensor. On my actual garage door. To confirm detection on open/closed state. And understand breakind by pulling the safety switch.
With the sensor itself actually on the moving part. Because heck, could sense the rotational metrics

No need to find a use for something if you don't have a use
just get some $$$
scenic radish
Would be nice to dedicate one so that when I need to reboot the server it doesn't affect DNS
But yeah I might just sell the pi 4
scenic radish
Good idea. I hardly have any media tho lol

A pi 3 as Pihole going to slow down your network. No usb drives laying around?
scenic radish
I have a spare SSD and USB-SATA adapter
green inlet
I also kept a pi 3 hooked up running home assistant as a backup. I rsync my config to it. If something on my NUC goes down I just change my sub domains in nginx and back up on the pi. Also, comforting knowing I have my entire config on another device.
scenic radish
Interesting use case, I'm gonna consider that
I rsync my config to my server's internal eMMC and back up to Google drive
green inlet
Just throwing out ideas 😁
scenic radish
Yeah I like that idea
green inlet
I have also thought of using a different install method on my backup. Just to learn it.....but keeping everything up to date sometimes becomes too time consuming
scenic radish
Gotta switch to core on docker boi
Ditch that venv
Come to a world of not worrying about Python versions
hushed basalt
I'd strongly recommend that over traefik
green inlet
I figure by the time I have to upgrade python, I am going to want to upgrade Debian anyway.
scenic radish
I just have NGINX installed on the host directly with a free cloudflare 15-year cert installed
hushed basalt
That will break in safari soon
scenic radish
The only docker containers I have are home assistant, gotify, and cloud9 (nice web-based IDE)
Good thing I don't use safari 😛
scenic radish
Go 🤢 yourself
hushed basalt
Give it all to Microsoft.
green inlet
Lmao
scenic radish
all of it
hushed basalt
Give them your soul. You don't have any use for it anyways
scenic radish
You're assuming I even have one at all
hushed basalt
You can also use an old rpi3 as a more powerful ethernet connected GPIO device
Get environmental sensors connected to it etc
Reticulation controller
scenic radish
Ooo I like that idea with environmental sensorz
hushed basalt
I think a nice environmental sensor is like $25usd
green inlet
Reticula....what
scenic radish
Out of curiosity I converted the pi 3 to an AP and was not surprised to see the throughput was only 72 mbps on 2.4 and 86 on 5 lol
Whereas with my current router it's 866 Mbps on 5 GHz
green inlet
Have you thought of buying a used Asus Ac-68U and throwing dd-wrt on it. I have three of them as WAP.
When you send back that tplink 🤢
Flea-bay
Cheap
hushed basalt
You could also use an old rpi3 as a esphome/tuyaconvert flasher
ocean mirage
I used to have one of those ASUS
hushed basalt
Connect a barcode scanner to it and have headless grocery scanning
scenic radish
Does that Asus router support ipv6 port opening?
Apparently I have to ask that question
green inlet
I was also using them as storage for my cameras with the usb connection until I got OpenMediaVault
Option for it in dd-wrt
green inlet
I wish I could figure out how to turn it on for me
scenic radish
I was pleasantly surprised to see Comcast supports ipv6
green inlet
scenic radish
specifically looking for ipv6 port opening as an option. the tp-link router supported ipv6 but not ipv6 port opening for some stupid reason
i'd imagine that firmware supports it though, it'd be silly if it didn't
green inlet
Yea, dd-wrt doesn’t specifically mention ip6 port forwarding The asus 68u can take either and terribly hard to brick
forest edge
Tediore is too 🐔 to use a real firmware
scenic radish
thank the lord telco
though, it's technically "port opening" not "port forwarding" for ipv6
literally unusable
forest edge
though, it's technically "port opening" not "port forwarding" for ipv6
@scenic radish they are called one in the same for both ipvv4 and ipv6
green inlet
Once you enable ip6 on dd-wrt you get all kinds of config options also
hushed basalt
Man handymen are the worst
Well rental maintenance ones at least
Rough and lazy and poor workmanship
Not my house/problem but still
He redid the seal on the kitchen sink and he's just blasted silicone over top of the old one
Dirt embedded too

i can't get more than 90Mbps out of my unifi AP despite 80Mhz channel width and device reporting connecting at 400Mbps .. it's gigabit on the wires.. strange
scenic aspen
do you have one of those performance tanking things enabled like intrusion detection
proven pasture
hope not, but will look, if i did it'd be inadvertently switched ok, have tried to turn off all the "fancy stuff" tm
tawny radish
If I had to wager, I'd guess it was client capabilities slowing you down
proven pasture
i've been trying to sort for a a while actually but no dice... there are a lot of wifi devices on the network.. google homes/ esphomes/ and the usual clients
Doing the test on a Pixel 2.
@tawny radish could be
tries to think of fastest/ most modern device in house
tawny radish
I think that has 2 spatial streams so at 40Mhz channels you could theoretically see a 400Mbps data rate
but that's ideal conditions
if you had those conditions, your theoretical throughput is under 200Mbps due to half duplex and overhead
proven pasture
to be honest, first world problem etc, it's plenty fast. Been dlighted lately as have upgraded internet from 50/10 to 350/40 - v good
tawny radish
that was my next question, how are you measuring? speedtest to the internet or throughput on the wire?
proven pasture
and my linux desktop pc (pop os) is wired obv. 🙂
@tawny radish i have iperf3 running on a pi4 wired in , i can test mobile fone to that via an android iperf app
but mostly i just hit fast.com
tawny radish
the iperf test will give you a more realistic idea of your wireless speed
proven pasture
will try it now
tawny radish
internet speed tests are notorious for caching and other tricks that make people think wireless is "slow"
