Well look at that openstack image โค๏ธ
@brazen fable there better be none for a dead project
I'm curious what music everyone listens to
I think my neighbor is a drug dealer
and Im capturing all of his deals on my new camera....
๐
Yeah...would not recommend lol
I love that you pick perfect places to live @brisk glen
Yikes
Hmmm there we go.
Has anyone managed to fling an audio stream at a chromecast device? I have defined a script to do it, but nothing happens on the google home
yay my water heater started leaking ๐
Tediore: Gotcha, ta
Quick, plug it with some scotch tape!
The water softener told it about your shenanigans @amber bramble
@proper oriole what kind of stream?
Ugh, I need to replace my water heater. Needed to 3 years ago. LOL
@scenic radish haha I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was leaking because there's not enough lime in the water to keep it sealed now that its soft
phnx: Its an m3u file (internet radio)
i got one working once but it was kindof a pain and i don't remember what i did
lol no worries
i send a m3u link myself
dshokouhi: You can cast .m3u to a chrome device?
i turn on KROQ when we are in teh shower ๐
yea you can play them on it as long as you have a valid URL
Thats awesome, thank you. I'll have a go. I've tried the audio being set to mp4 before, but will try again
the trick is to find the actual stream depending on where you are getting them from that is
ive had my URL fail before so had to regenerate it from a desktop i thnk its from radio.com lol
NO HOME ASSISTANT SUPPORT HERE (look at the other channels for that). NO POLITICS OR RELIGION!
BE CIVIL to one another or get BANNED permanently.
๐
I'm doing something simple and silly I have no doubt. I'm a newb
The stream URL is definitely fine tho. I put it into a browser and it plays nicely
lets move to #automations-archived if you stil need help
Wait.. No politics or religion? Why am I even here? ๐คฃ (kidding)
kicked
hehe

Hi Guys buying some led strips, what do I need to look out for to look for ''quality'' ones, Intrested on some of those features to do diffrent colors on each led ect later on

Okay.. Jelle's Marble Runs.. Is pretty freaking awesome.
Definitely not, intrested in buying better but not sure what to look out for
Philips
I want some of the effect that has diffrent leds on the same strip
defo phillips but thats pricey I think these do whatI want and not too pricey - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Govee-Brighter-Changing-Waterproof-Controlled/dp/B07QDL56TM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=MYOJOD6O9W7R&dchild=1&keywords=govee+dream+color&qid=1589912862&sprefix=govee+dream+%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-1
I am not sure if they support multii led
second picture shows a music mode with diffrent colors so I assume so
hmmmm think he might just be a numpty surely, loads of other reviews with pictures of people showing them
Well
iphone user? ๐
what do you mean a mode?, it can do a few preset things and thats it you mean?
I don't want to get too fancy with custom actions, its for a garden bar you see, just a few presets modes is good enough to show off to guests ect
hey I have a questions. So whats the deal with HACS and its relation to the rest of the official HA stuff? Are users generally discouraged from using it?
un-official integrations that may or may not be stable or follow the best practices of HA
It's custom so yes
does stuff from HACS ever make it into HA if it works well and has enough community support (in terms of wanting to have it mainlined, not in terms of technical support) behind it?
HACS itself will never be in core, repositories you install with HACS can if the dev care enough might end up in core eventually.
Sometimes HACS is even used to test changes to integrations before/during the PR prosess
we did that with the new zwave component
put it in hacs as a pre-release to get some feedback and testing before starting to merge it into core
Some devs don't want to deal with the "hassle" of getting it official, so only produce custom components
For cards... there's far more card options than will ever be in the official release
Yeah, there are also a number of integrations that never would be accepted in core
That does not mean they are bad, they could just be something that HA does not agree with, having a custom option is perfect in those situations
Sooo @rain lintel did that answer your question?
The mayor is here??
Looks like they bolted


Actual 100%
Making coffee, anyone want some
holy shit chrome... not even open and you were using 5 of my CPU cores at 100%
google is pure evil
sounds like you have bad extensions
Sounds like you don't have enough extensions
lol
tbh chrome is getting pretty bad lately
Getting?
there is something wrong with the web when it takes 10x more cpu use than a linux vm running docker containers
CPU/RAM wise, Chrome is and always has been the worst.
home assistant sits at like 2.1% of a core
part of that is because of the sandboxing decision
with nginx etc
nginx is pretty lightweight on its own
HA is pretty light on cpu in most cases
its using ~300M of memory though
unless you plan on running tensorflow lol
nginx is using none cpu and 200k of memory ๐
doods soon ๐
eh. Chrome used to be "lightweight"
No, it didn't.
I switched to Chrome because Firefox had all kinds of memory leak issues
now the tables have turned and I think Firefox uses less resources
Chrome was never lightweight, from the get-go. It was just more secure than firefox by milestones.
Firefox does actually use less resources. It still can crawl up there, but, it's a lot slower.
To do so./
I switched to Firefox a year ago, even my 48GB laptop thanks me
heh
yep. I switched back when Firefox Aurora came out, with the newer sandboxing they implemented came out.
@last dirge thats a yard ? looks like a patch of grass ๐
@last dirge our yard - just mowed two days ago, itโs been raining a lot, so time to mow again!
Weโve got some patches here and there, have put grass seeds and starter fertilizer. Hopefully by end of next week they will start to grow.
Still havenโt planted vegetables or flowers yet. Maybe this weekend.
@last dirge love the black Tesla in the driveway. You can use that as a surveillance station and record videos from all sides. ๐
Looks black in the picture ๐
@dull chasm I've not got much yard at all in the front due to the fruit trees and the beds around the utilities
i noticed ...but figured yall city slickers had diff standards for yard size
Usually front yards are small.
I've only got about a third of an acre
mine is small compared to our standards as well
my back yard's much bigger, but it's half covered by the deck
mine is small compared to our standards as well
@dull chasm thatโs what she said ๐คฃ
lol 5 acres
But you got big guns ๐ช
so mine is bigger ๐คฃ
too much way too much
Nighty folks
Really? Cheaper where you live?
yes 5k per acrea
Iโve always wanted to buy like 25 acres. Once kids are off to college, maybe I will move into a smaller house with bigger backyard
$5k per acre is way too low... donโt think I can find that here!
gotta get off them city streets
from main road i am 15 minuts ....main hwy to parish rd to old asphalt then gravel for 1000 ft or so
Not bad at all! Buy an ATV, you can have all the fun in the yard.
yep
NUC 8 is on sale!
Thatโs like a million Australian dollarydoos
lol and a billion in Japanese yen ๐
@tough igloo what happened to the red color you had for your name?
Ran out of juice?
I no longer have discord nitro โน๏ธ
I donโt get the concept of nitro anyway.
You pay, and you get animated images and emoji powers?
And you can boost a server that achieves??
It's more like a donation with benefits
Iโm sure 12 yr old gamer kids will love them.
Anyway I felt special for a little while
lol
Plus it matched my name ๐คฃ
@unreal orbit what you are you up to these days? Anything fun?
Mostly same old same old, nothing too exciting
Yeah... time to upgrade my HA. I do it every other release these days. Canโt keep up.
I try to do at least every other. Don't want to get too far behind on breaking changes (even though I haven't been affected by one in probably 20 updates)
I still got one HA instance running 0.56 version. ๐
It works as long as I donโt update it.
I did just switch my Zwave network to zwave2mqtt so I don't have to fear restarting HA anymore
Sweet!
life has been ๐ฏ x better
Run it in Docker?
Yup! I've got pretty much all my services containerized at this point
Nice! I got both going on.
I was in the venv camp for quite a while before I got used to using docker
Now I'm very comfortable with it
Definitely not a wizard, but I can get by alright
Yeah... Docker is cool. Extremely easy!
Especially for dev environments. I was bummed that zwave2mqtt doesn't really have a good dev environment setup with docker
I'm not comfortable enough to make my own images yet ๐
True, I'm planning on giving it a shot soon
making docker images is super simple
it's almost literally just shell commands, and adding any files you need within the image... often you can grab them at build time using wget and untar/zip or install through a package manager, and voila!
Let me rephrase, I'm not comfortable enough to modify a Dockerfile that's doing things I don't recognize (specifically the zwave2mqtt image)
I've made basic images
Hi all, I would like to upgrade my Home Assistant Core from 101.3 to the latest release. I've gone through all breaking changes and I'm OK with them. Should I install some intermediate release before?
go for it but if you need support be sure to visit the proper installation channel ๐
question Home Assistant, Home Assistant Supervised {
proxy_pass supervised
}
question Docker, venv {
proxy_pass alternative
}
or more apropos:
goto_room:
{%- set supWords = ["Supervised", "Home Assistant"] -%}
{%- set altWords = ["docker", "venv"] -%}
{%- set question = states('sensor.question') -%}
{%- if question in supWords -%}
\#supervised
{%- elif question in altWords -%}
\#alternative
{%- else -%}
\#other
{%- endif -%}
but much uglier ๐คฃ
Lol
I was pretending that we're just a reverse proxy to direct people to the right channel
lol
The fantastic song Map of the Problematique by Muse, from the album Black Holes and Revelations.
I claim ownership of nothing shown in this video.
Has some real COVID vibes
Favorite band of all time
This song is a total banger too
Panic station is one of the weirdest and funniest music videos I've ever seen
you young people are weird
fight!
no u
did you ever find a router that works?
Hmmmmm..
Well, Wyze Cam vs Ring Cam. Ring definitely beats the living snot out of Wyze, in every aspect of quality.
cept price
I said quality. ๐
Price, yeah, Wyze wins, but it sucks at integration. It sucks at streaming. It sucks at playback. It sucks at night vision. And.. Well, it's barely usable.
it can be local though
I've got a Ring Doorbell Pro, Flood Light Cam, 3 Stick-Up Indoor/Outdoor Cams (2 setup so far), 1 Indoor Stick-Up Cam, and quality, is freaking out of this world.
@shy comet Definitely can agree with that.
Price, yeah, Wyze wins, but it sucks at integration. It sucks at streaming. It sucks at playback. It sucks at night vision. And.. Well, it's barely usable.
@undone aspen you are certianly using it wrong lol
i started out with a gen 1 for 180 way back when
they charged me $20 to upgrade to gen 2
I've had my Ring doorbell replaced by them because the doorbell I bought, died.
They didn't even charge me, they replaced it, then sent me 2 new ones, (one I had to return, newer one had finned backplate)
i like m,y little 20 buck HD 20fps with nightvision and spot on motion detection camera
My doorbell cam faces the evening sun, so it gets hot. ๐
But yeah. Can't do local, but you can use them for sirens, you can access them, video is always offsite, they have battery backup options, and security screws to help prevent tampering. And, their video quality, you can actually SEE, most especially, in pitch black, you can still see faces, in detail.
The Wyze Cam, you could see, if they were close enough to the camera,. but if they were close enough to the camera, detail was washed out by white bounce-back from the IR emitters.
I don't have those issues
Not on the Ring cameras. ๐
i think it's user error ๐
It's not. :p
I've got 4 Wyze Cams setup right now, all with SD cards, connected to motionEye for onsite/offsite recording of my own, RTSP firmware installed. And, the integrations.... Suck.
IFTTT, really? No. Just no.
yea well if your using the official firmware that is likely your issue lol
May not be ideal, but rings integration in hass is not perfect, but I can trigger the siren, light (if it has one), and read motion events that the camera's emit (via cloud api, not local, and somewhat delayed)
Well, official beta firmware for the RTSP.
Firmware, however, cannot fix camera quality.
rings integration has been improved a lot
Firmware also cannot fix night time quality issues. ๐
im wating on my PR to get accepted to request real time snapshots
@shy comet Yeah, I can't wait for the ring integration, within HASS itself, to have the Alarm Modes added in. Homebridge has it, so HASS isn't far behind I hope.
Oooh, nice!
someone has to add the alarm modes to this library
or we need to use another, but ideally this library
no offense @undone aspen i experience 0 of any of the issues you have and had mine setup for months now
Yeah, with a Z-Wave motion sensor, something like that you could predictively tell the cameras to take snapshots. ๐
@forest edge Just because you don't understand the difference first hand, doesn't mean it's not a problem. ๐
i just want a snapshot when thye detect motion lol
well then
I mean, do you have any other cameras to compare against? ๐
lots but i don't compare a 20 buck camera to high price stuff but in your case since you are comparing a ring which has worst night vision than my amcrest doorbell (as shown in plenty of reviews) I say my wyze night vision is better than my amcrest
every statement you said about the wyze is flat out wrong,
if your havving issues, you did something wrong
my only issue current issue with my wyze is placement, cause the ir bounces off the side of my siding which blands out the picture alittle
โผ๏ธ Alert โผ๏ธ Alert โผ๏ธ Someone is wrong.... on the internet. ๐
lol well if it can work for one person, it works for all
Not necessarily true, actually.
I don't run official firmware so maybe that's your issue
And yet you say I'm the one doing it wrong? ๐
They work, and for what they are, and for their price tag, they work well, considering, no doubt about all that at all. ๐
Their cameras, however, stream a bit jerky, are a bit grainier than I'd like, and their night vision tends to over compensate. That's just technology, and factual details.
I've run mine at varied resolutions, all with the same effect.
official uses some kind of upscaled 320 resoultion
Ugh.. Really?
yup
Well, that could explain the quality issues right there.
it's cause it has to do motion edetection and other stuff, it's a 20 buck camera
Well, $25. ๐
moving off official allows you to dump the bloat and set things how you want
What firmware are you using? After I get the new ring cameras fully mounted (backward outside is the last one, requires attic run for power), I'm going to take some of the Wyze cam's and see what I can possibly do better.
look up dafang
Ahh that one?
You loose the ability to use the Wyze app when using a firmware like that, yes?
yes
Do you have to then use the Chinese MI app?
Hmmm
dafang makes it a local only
as long as you can use it via RTSP your golden
RTSP, yeah, motionEye. And Homebridge Homekit camera integration.
Haii there, i am kind of new here, don't have anything yet to make this work, i came from Homey but tbh i don't like it anymore, so i want an alternative, can Home Assistant do everything Homey can? ๐ฎ
Never heard of Homey.
ohhhh
But, HA can do anything.
You can even design your HA to try to takeover the world, every night!
its an expensive device to automate your home basically with scripts users create and install on the device for others
so, i need a Pi for it to work right?, if i knew earlier i never had to buy homey, lol
No.
ohhhh
but my computer has to be on for it to work right
Well, of course. The computer you put it on has to be on, obviously.
hmmm, i rather use an external device then, my coimputer is on much, but i don't want to rely on it
i want to put WOL on it too, and that might not work when my computer is off i guess
Well, I said /a computer/, not YOUR computer. ๐
This /computer/ could be an RPI3/4, Intel Atom (More recommended for power), Laptop, etc.
ohhhh
i'm sorry, i missunderstood
whats an intel atom? i don't think i heard of that
Google's your friend ๐
Worth the price for what you get.
its basically a mini pc right
Basically.
Ahhh, Homey.
Common comments. It's slow, laggy, closed, and not as powerful as HASS.
haha, so you know now, XD
Keep in mind though, Homey does something. Z-Wave, Zigbee, and other protocol support, HASS, you'd need a Zigbee and/or Z-Wave module/USB to integrate with those.
Correct. Doesn't look like HASS supports using the Homey for such devices.
gladly i don't have any yet so i might be able to do that first before i buy stuff to let it work, XD
You can get native on HASS, (USB, module/component, etc), or bridge other integrations in, like I still use my Samsung SmartThings HUB for some things.
Z-Wave and ZigBee, for me, is still on the SmartThings HUB for the time being.
You can. You have to pay $5/mo for Nabu Cloud to integrate with Alexa and/or Google Assistant.
You can also use it's native voice assistant, Almond I believe?
you need to pay to use google assistant?
To integrate with, yes.
oof
you can do it without
so, any recommendations for a intel atom? do i need to look for any specific specs?
@undone aspen false
you can add google assistant without the subscription, or at least you could, just need to expose home assistant to the internet with an TLS cert
You do not need to pay for Google or Alexa integrations
oh, do u do not need it, lol
True,.
it's a PITA I didn't/don't want to deal with, and the Nabu cloud supports development, and so I'm all for that,
i don't mind paying to support, but i think Home Assistant is confusing or difficuld to use
Which part is confusing you?
i have no clue, lol
Just keep in mind, this particular channel isn't for HASS support. ๐
Well answering that question would be a good place to start
"Don't have it" doesn't mean you're not asking support. :p
it's not going to be like homey or smart things. It'll take a level of commitment that is a bit higher than those platforms. But in the end you aren't tied to a cloud service and you can easily replace any part of your system without having to worry about companies discontinuing it.
Yep. ๐
That's the big thing about HA. Integrations, opensource, community, and portability.
hmmm, thats true, but i'm worried that its to diffuculd for me to let it work, or put the things on i want but never work, lol
I moved my HASS from an RPi4 to a Laptop, without issue. ๐
idk if you need to code, i can't code, XD
You don't need to code. The most you'd have to do is configure
And learn YAML. ๐
YAML?
It's the markup language HA uses for configuration
you can use node-red. Its like flow charts
Yet Another Markup Language.
heh.
homey uses flows, so i think he speaks my language now, lol
My Node-Red Flows are pretty..... extensive.
so, better to get a Pi or that intel atom thingy?
A dedicated computer will be more reliable than a pi, but it requires extra steps and know-how
Motion/Contact triggers a check of the virtual alarm system which if armed, sends off a delayed timer to the alarm system that will eventually trigger a series of sirens and Echos speaking "You are being watched. You are being recorded. Get out of my house!" And the minigun poping out of the ceiling and targetting the intruder. ๐
oof
There are guides to help you either way though
thats good, i like guides, lol
@tame parrot start simple with a pi ...learn to install software ....you probably have things that you can control tvs ....avrs and etc .... dont worry about the chatter of what you can do start with what you learn and build from there
so a pi is good enough?
to start yes and gives room for expansion but can get underpowered depending on what you what .... but it will take you awhile unless you spend a lot of time and money
what takes a while?
that depends on you ...how much you add ...totally subjective ... i have a pi running a 150 gallon fishtank and has been for years.....lighting....pumps ....water changes ...feeding times and etc ... over 700 entities ...automations sensors and etc
oh, cool, well, i don't have much yet, except hue lights my tv, and google assistant, i do want to get motion sensors tho bnut these need zigbee/zwave
i have three installations ....my main in a I7 mini pc with 8 cores
oh, cool
thats a 50 dollar usb stick so no big deal
you mean the zigbee/zwave part right, XD
yes
ahhh, thats indeed no biggie
start with a simple intergration with tv alexa/google and hue and you can have a script that simply turns off tv and turns lights on 50% lighting the way to bedroom and the slowly dimming after x minutes to off .... was one of my first years ago
yep ...well 3 am comes early so i am going night ...
4 am fgor me, lol
@unreal orbit nice seeing ya back again
i am leaving too, thank you all so much for the help!
Thanks, glad to be helping again ๐
they are star wars fans here or something? XD
Not sure who came up with the roles
haha
been here for years at this point
well, its almost 4 am so i have to go now, XD
thank you so much for your help! โค๏ธ
been these roles for years
๐ ๐
3+ years at least
Where you been Villhelm? Welcome back.
don't call it a comeback
Aha!
Hmmm, I wonder if I can use the SmartThings hub integration for the ecobee, and still get the profiles access THAT way!
Hmmm, maybe perhaps not, but that leaves it open to do the idea that was suggested earlier, de-linking HASS from HomeKit, put that on the HomeKit hub, reverse automate that through HomeKit trigger automations from virtual switches.
I have a problem with the aeon dsc11 not reporting energy usage to the correct device. It turns out that a simple changing of the endpoints in my zwcfg did the trick. Which github do I go to to report this issue? Home Assistant or OpenZWave?
@sterile fractal OZW
welp i can't figure out how to open an ipv6 port for my server on the edgerouter x
@scenic radish this sort of UI?
yeah
I don't use ipv6 so I've never even looked at it
doesn't readily seem like you can
@tidal bronze you use ipv6?
seems like it's a CLI-only feature but i can't figure that out either
on my google wifi i could literally just select the device and open whatever ipv6 ports i want lol
thanks, i already have ipv6 set up on the router, i just can't figure out how to open ports
i have ipv4 port forwarding set up but would rather continue to use ipv6
@last dirge no
@scenic radish can you create a firewall group with an IPV6 address?
let me check, it doesn't look like i can from the UI at least
all I can see in my UI is what looks like the ability to enter an IPV4 CIDR
I sent you a discord channel link
the people in there have helped me out a few times
yeah i can't for the life of me figure out how to do that in the CLI lol
the UI only accepts ipv4 addresses
Why port forward anyway? SNAT/DNAT is the way to go and do it right.
ah ok, any tips on that?
basically right now i have a cronjob on my server that updates my domain's AAAA record with the public ipv6 address of the server every 5 minutes
then i opened ipv6 port 443 on my google wifi
and NGINX on my server directs accordingly based on the URL
Port forwarding / hairpin etc actually SNAT and DNAT rules simplified. If you want granular control look into source/destination NATs. Unfortunately don't use IPV6 so can't help much there. CLI is the way to go ultimately.
ah, thanks. tbh i'm so frustrated i might just return this stuff lol
It's a little overwhelming to boot. Just takes a little time and patience.
Specially if you are used to click and go lol
yeah that's fair
But once you get use to granular control and FW rules, bulb will light up and you will know what you have been missing ๐
yeah... it just seems odd that i can't select a device to open an ipv6 port on
Seems like you will need the server to be on a dedicated ETHx. since gets its own routable ipv6.
the google wifi does it based on MAC address because the public ipv6 address could change
yeah i'd be cool with putting it on its own physical interface
oh shit
that might be it
Then do the WAN_IN / LOCAL rules for that ETHx
problem would be dynamically updating the AAAA record
Run the DDNS
how often does your IP actually change?
Not sure about the ipv6 address
probably never. they're not running out any time soon and don't need to be reclaimed
you've probably got a /60 or even /56 to work with
/64 but that's still a ton lol
Why would you even use Windows at all? :)-
Can't really think of another channel for it, but anyone got any wild ideas on things that could be automated based off a solar system? Getting one installed and trying to think of ideas on automatically managing power/demand in the house based on generation.
Because linux can't do desktops :D
Does just fine. ๐
Not for me
Nobody's perfect. ๐
I'm more than happy not spending weekends trying to get display drivers to work
Now, granted, some can have some deficiencies, of course....
I just have no reason to not use windows for desktop purposes
it does what I want, no complaints
I like Windows. To see outside with from time to time. ๐
And to see where I'm going when I'm driving. ๐
Oh I just use the navitron autodrive system for that
heh
Heh
Yeah. I can definitely say that is true.
but, I worked at home as well. So, I barely ever drove in the first place. ๐
We've been back to normal for 2 weeks, but I still only go onsite like once a week
I would occasionally work from home anyway, but if I went it I would catch the bus
I'm used to driving 40k km per year, so this is lax
Bleh, I just can't do bus.
but much more other activities outside of that used the car previously
Busses are fine if you have a good service, and shit if you dont
I would just take my kindle and read theory lol
I don't think I've taken a bus in Norway for... 15-20 years
busses in my city arent great but luckily I just live in the right place and work in the right place. 15 minute trip in traffic
I do it sometimes on vacation, if the underground or rail are bad options
Well this has been sufficiently frustrating
haha
I'm used to driving 40k km per year, so this is lax
@clear ferry
You know said 40 000 000 m per year
English is a funny language
hes gets around okay
It's only about 300 000 000m to the moon
a few years and he will have made it
40 000 000m is roughly the diameter of the Earth too
You know what I don't think gets enough attention
The human and environmental cost of cryptomining
At a complete guess I would think its a very small impact, compared to most things
Actually I would expect it to be in the 1-3% range of all power consumed
Interesting, three military choppers just flew over my house, like 60m above it
Heck that made a lot of noise
Oh yeah they sure do
It's not an insignificant amount
It's not like as much as cars on the road or heavy tankers
But it's would be more than a lot of things people jump up and down over
Even if the miners are powered by "clean" energy there's still that opportunity cost where that energy could have been used for something else. Like charging EVs etc
Yeah I don't agree with it
It's had no useful benefit so far
Speculation/trading isn't a benefit

heh
Jon Snow has left the chat
Lord of Light has entered the chat
Jon Snow has entered the chat
Yeet
Haven't had a showerbeer in a while
It's good
What have you done on kubernetes so far atx
It's release day
you are being released?
No, 110
So, what you meant was my install is broken day as people rush to upgrade without reading the release notes...
Is that why the SmartIR integration has been whinging about being on an old version of Home Assistant for the last week or so?
I don't really update ever lol
This version only works on HA 0.110 and later
One of my HA installs hasn't been updated in forever, the other is updated about one to two weeks after the .0 release comes out
I tend to look at the actual changes, and if anything looks beneficial, I'll update - obviously taking a snapshot before doing so ๐
I find it's easier staying relatively current. There's been a few times I've fallen a release or two (or three) behind, but getting current again can be fiddly then
Of course, there's some folks out there on 0.9x trying to upgrade in one giant leap... ๐คฃ
I just never think to do it
If you want to call it like that, sure ๐
I'm skipping 109
0.110 is looking nice, just for the performance boost
More improvements are coming for Logbook/History too ๐
I'll probably jump in at 0.110.3+
I know there's a few breaking changes I'll need to sit down and assess properly when I have time and energy
I am on 107 apparently
108.9 represent
That's not that far out of date
I think I reinstalled it for reasons not too long ago
I was on 0.108.9 until last weekend
Is the new partition model changes coming in 110? (ability to offload data partition to another drive)
That's nothing to do with HA ๐
Oh right, that's HassOS. I know that's in the dev branch.
I moved my entire configuration to a subdirectory and put that in it's own private repo
0.111.0dev ๐ฏ
I like to have a clean separation between state and configuration

Uninterested Fiber Sales Guy called me again
Well, i'm running their discord
"yeah we dont do fiber in your building"
Behave tinky ๐
Really? So why did I just see two trucks with half a dozen men wearing your company logo downstairs in the parking lot, assuming they're installing fiber for people who signed up when you had your booth up in the lobby this weekend?
"oh really? hmm let me check. i will call you back."
@clear ferry why are rackmount consoles so expensive, even used
I would have thought there would be a glut of them with so many orgs moving to cloud
And then back to on-prem ๐
Oofph
Hybrid seems to be the new model - some stuff in cloud, some stuff on prem
All the maintenance fun of both
It turns out that running all your stuff on "other people's computers" isn't the magic solution to all your woes
I'd like that hybrid
But it really depends on the company.
For me, as BI guy, the cloud enables our company to get "smaller" customers which cannot afford a onprem server.
They can afford 400 euro/month in the cloud, but not a 20k+ server.
You're not helping Bezos reach his much deserved trillionaire status
Yeah there's a huge starting cost to running onprem servers
Yeah, obviously "horses for courses" but larger firms seem to be going hybrid instead of full cloud
Heck, my own was going fully cloud, and has changed course to hybrid
Hadn't even finished the migration from fully on-prem ๐คฃ
Pfft. Everything I do is in house with the exception of my off premise backups
And well, Alexa for lack of suitable alternative yet
Hybrid is the way to go for sure, some things are snazzy in cloud,most things are snazzy on prem
staring cost yes @hushed basalt but in the long run I had a developer company discuss that with me, the cost per VM to run it in the cloud was $300 per month, because of the resources they needed, the same cost for on prem with the same or more resoureces, including power and cooling was less than $100 per month
Also, that ยฃ20K (or whatever) cost to buy it is a one off. Odds of you having to replace it after 3 years aren't that high IMO (unless you're doing something insanely compute intensive)
yeah, most customers "plan" to replace every 3-5 years, in reality it ends up being 5-10 years
Aye, the rate of improvement isn't as it was a decade or two ago
it's quite good still though, but def not the same
I remember starting out on the G5 servers 13 years ago, that had a max of 64GB RAM, now I install Superdome Flex that has a max of 64TB RAM
Yeah, but does it have a built in bench seat or fishtank?
Hey, don't go Cray-Cray!
๐คฃ
The kids won't get it 
@clear ferry even if servers and power are free
There's still a huge cost of operations
not really
once systems are up and running the cost is minimal on a day to day basis, and if you go with a vendor that delivers maintenance (like we do) you don't have to think about updates etc either, because we handle them, and they are in the fixed price already
customers love cost covered up front, so when we can deliver 5 years of hardware cost \ maintenance cost \ updates included in a monthly \ quarterly \ yearly fee, they love it
Yeah, any of the "proper" hardware I've been involved with over the last ... 10-20 years has required very minimal maintenance
A few hard disk replacements, one power supply, and one motherboard that went kaboom
oh man i want to try 0.110 but i am skered cause I have alot of custom stuff lol
That's why you have a dev/test box ๐
the only thing the new weather card is missing from being like the darksky is sunup/down and wind information hehe

What is yall opinion of obscurity as a layer in security
Moving your ssh port from 22 to something else could reduce your attacks by like 10000 : 1
Doesn't mean you don't secure it further.
I keep my ports plain inside my network for convenience
And obviously web services need to be on standard ports if they're for use by normal people
My HA is exposed on a random high numbered port (not actually 12345)
I get a handful of probes a year
54321?
I've put HA on port 22 and SSH on port 8123, that will teach them.
ssh root:password@tinkerer.com -p 22
I'm still shocked at how many people still use passwords for SSH. I mean, I get that an SSH CA is a bit of effort, but keys are so easy...
GPG for me all the way
use my GPG keys as SSH pair as well
Stored on a hardware token (Yubikey)
I haven't quite got there yet, though there's no technical reason for that, just inertia

What do I host the thing on that is a lynch pin to my entire home network
atm I use init scripts for creation - update and add keys - because lazy as f.
Well, the CA isn't active, it's a thing that signs them
So, you can "host" that anywhere you back up securely
CRL's are a pain
It would be so nice to say - look at this host! thats your CA - use it and dont have to friggle with the revocation

Early Christmas this year!
Will this be your first time attempting dove tails?
no
I decided to learn with crap tools, and now I think I'm at the level of skill where the tool might make a noticeable difference.
Nice. I've just used a biscuit joiner for my projects. Real joints are very intimidating
what are you going to make?
It's Apple, key frames cost extra...
hah
Heh. Nice. My ecolink motion sensors and Aeotec Siren arrives today. ๐
its kinda funny to see a car leave a trail
So, my home alarm system will be finally coming to actual completion. heh heh
abode finally fixed my homekit and are having their devs look into it
Early Christmas this year!
@low harness Iโve made a table saw jig for dovetails. It can be intimidating to start with - getting it now and right is always tricky.
Those kits are not very useful after a few times. You will quickly move away from using them.
you're making me want to pick up woodworking again
Woodworking can be therapeutic ๐
not when you don't have the right tools
ha
I'm missing a table saw, so it makes everything infinitely harder
True! You gotta have good set of tools. I am a tool freak. Got all kinds of tools
After I got my table saw, I always wonder how I was doing it without one.
Ideally, id want a planer and a table saw and I'd be good to start again. I just don't have a place to put that yet
They are on sale all the time. I even saw a couple in the last few days.
I put the planer right in the table saw table I made. They both go together.
Yes. I made a solid table for the table saw ๐คฃ
Well, Michael, I found an alterntive, sorta, to the issue of removing HomeKit from ecobee and moving it to the HomeKit hub. My SmartThings HUB can integrate to the ecobee cloud portion, providing the thermostat and remote sensors via that (though they will not be local for updates).
I donโt have industrial table saws like SawStop.
Tis an idea, at least until I get the pyecobee stuff working to change profiles. ๐
I use DeWalt table saw with thin kerf blade - blade itself costs 1/3 of table saw. But worth it.
what are you going to make?
@fathom sparrow Sawdust, mostly
Speaking of table saws, my jobsite saw broke down a few months ago, so I splurged on a real 3-phase cabinet saw. It's awesome.
Had to get rid of my newly built table saw table, though. But it's going to make a great lathe bench.

Hmmmmmm.... Thinking.. There's now Li-Ion AA batteries which are actually 1.5v, and Li-Ion is a much better battery than Ni-MH. My Kwikset Convert doesn't do well, or last very long, on Ni-MH batteries, but works great and long on Alkaline. I'm seriously pondering considering getting just a few Li-Ion batteries to see if it's worth it, though there's really only about two companies doing them. EBL with their bult-in USB charging port directly on the battery itself, and Tenavolts, which has their "unique" charger.
woot att finally fixed their shit and now i have dual wan through my ER-3 ๐
Yeah, I'm looking forward to the decade in which I finally get a reasonable dual-WAN option

lol why?
i am... way in over my head. almost all ipv6 settings have to be done with the CLI. i'm comfortable with a command line but figuring out a simple firewall rule to open ipv6 port 443 for my server is seemingly impossible
The USG has a UI for these things
there is, but anything ipv6 related is CLI only
But yeah, it's not great
except for enabling ipv6 which can be done in the UI
Whenever I see something called lite I expect it is some diet beer
lol
Tried that, didn't seem to do anything. I even straight up disabled the ipv6 firewall to no avail to test
@unreal orbit

Maybe I'll give it another shot this afternoon
Kodi, for people still living in 2004 and thinks hacking Xboxs is cool
I've been living the Jellyfin life lately, plex was too unreliable for me
Unreliable?
I've had no issues with Plex, ever ๐คท
Hell, I've streamed movies while sat in airports overseas...
How much $$ you guys drop on your plex server?
0
Yeah, I streamed anime on a transatlantic flight
Their auth service requires cloud polling. Their cloud goes down, you can't access your local content
@fathom sparrow 0
Well, I built my home server with Plex in mind, but I was going to build it anyway
So, ยฃ1K or ยฃ0 ...
It works great as long as their service is functional
Whenever I see something called
liteI expect it is some diet beer
@clear ferry what about "light" as in Bud Light?
Water...
@unreal orbit hasn't happened here since I installed Plex like 10 years agp
so whats the conversion rate on monopoly money to usd?
NaN
@clear ferry happened to me once. One time too many if I'm trying to access local content
It seems like not a big deal until the one day you decide to watch a movie at home is when their service goes down. If I can't have 100% uptime when my server is running then I don't see the point in using it
Jellyfin, in comparison, has been excellent. Obviously not as feature rich as plex yet, but solid
I haven't had a single issue with Plex really, and I have lifetime plexpass, so for me to switch it would have to be something huge
Jellyfin has no Samsung or PS4 client... ๐
I still wait for lifetime until it's on deal for 75 bucks again
I mean Plex is awesome and works for me.. but I could use it for free too right ๐
i like Plex but i hate the transcoding decision process
which is why at home I prefer Kodi
Plex on the go
@clever mortar yeah the apps are limited, but they have a roku app which is the only one I use
There is no real Transcoding decision... it's just you using shitty clients and too good rips
They do have Cast, so that could work...
I've never had an issue with "universal" encodes, but then I'm not doing any 4K and ripping directly from the source media...
I haven't played around with it too much. I really only stream from either my TV or chrome on a computer
I never even notice transcoding, so I don't care
Yeah chrome on computer will most likely be transcoded ๐
for me its more than just transcoding....its also the Kodi skins
Aura looks like netflix and is very easy to use for my wife compared to the stock UI
The Plex UI is quite nice imo, I prefer it over something like Netflix
its come a long way for sure
it honestly comes down to preference they both do the same thing lol
i do also like Pseudo TV on kodi
The indexing is just awesome. Description, Actors, Rating, Cover... and that with just a small amount of correction
Just audiobooks are terrible. Or my 300GB release is just fucked
I should not index full server tho.. the audiobook folder takes a whole day

And get it straight into plex
Yeah that feature was not too interesting yet to me
But Plex has almost 50TB data feeded

wow the snyder cut for justice league is actually coming lol
#ReleaseTheSnyderCut is trending!
2021 i wonder if that means they will do reshoots for it
there was supposed to be more characters in the movie too like green lantern
the question is, will it be substantially better than the theatrical cut
whic is like 40% on RT
it needs to be over 70% and certified fresh to be a success in my eyes otherwise itll be as weak as the BvS directors cut which was only like a 10% difference
You're asking the wrong question ... the question for any DC movie (or UP "Dark Universe" one) is how bad will it be this time ๐
@clever mortar you ever watch the new DC animated movies?
those are surprisingly REALLY well done
I haven't
they are amazing
Batman Red Hood and Justice League Flashpoint Paradox
are some of the best
Cool, I'll have to watch some
but in all honesty, you can probably take the script from one of those and use it in a movie and itll be much better than what they ahve given us lol
ive watched them all lol....very adult and suggestive content lol
@shy comet , I found a use case that doesnโt work any more for a rasbian install. I had to go to the github docs to find the old answer. I think it was one for your commits.
Unless I was doing something wrong, this wonโt work on rasbian
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4
@green inlet you may need to find a repo that works for raspbian in that case
But the old answer worked
are you on 0.110?
the docs were updated for 0.110
the old update was for 0.109 and lower
i was asked to remove the old instructions as those were for a lower version of FFMPEG
I wish fritzing had an Android app
So, Intel just released a Ryzen 5 competitor with their i5-10600 cpu. They cost 300โฌ vs 180โฌ and the motherboards cost 200โฌ vs 100โฌ. Who besides atxbyea is going to buy these at these prices? ๐ค
You can install recent ffmpeg on Raspbian easily enough, whether you have to do it from source is the question
I donโt think it is the repository. I think it was add-apt-repository. I was in the process of updating from 108.6 to 110 though
I think we've sold less than 100 AMD servers in Scandinavia the last quarter, probably close to 5000 Intel's 
oh yea i honestly just copied what worked for me in there
Maybe leave old instructions for rasbian install?
Yeah I don't know about the server market. AMD has been controlling the gamer/enthusiast market for a while now though.
But I doubt the i5 is meant for servers ๐
Who cares about shitkids who live at home until they are 30 
my i7-2600k is starting to feel old finally. Most likely going with Ryzen if I replace it in the next year
@green inlet old instructions were for an older version of FFMPEG, look at my PR and see the convo . i was asked to remove old instructions
i do think intel needs a kick in servers too just to make sure they're actually caring
i think intel stopped caring a lot when AMD had the bulldozer fiasco
Ok, ffmpeg 7 installed just fine though. That is the version correct? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Customers have no interest in moving their whole virtualization farm to another architecture
.... Again
is that v7 from FFMPEG3 though?
๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ. How would I check?
Sounds like an #integrations-archived question ... probably
ffmpeg --version or some such though
Well that produced a code wall of ๐ฉ
AMD does seem to be catching some momentum in servers and notebooks as well , but it's still very small compared to Intel ofc https://marketrealist.imgix.net/uploads/2019/08/B1_AMD-x86-CPU-market-share-Q2-2019.png
Is it a huge hassle to move from one x86 to another?
the main issues with prior versions of EPYC ยฎ๏ธ were the numa nodes
AMD kinda shat the bed with that and it caused major issues
their current gen fixed a lot of that though
I remember reading something about that but have no clue how any of the server side stuff works
@orchid rose requires downtime of every single vm
So the cluster can run with some of the systems removed, but you can't mix and match AMD and Intel stuff?
A VM cannot be migrated online from intel to AMD or visa versa
Or from one generation of intel to a newer one for that matter
Alright, gotcha. Makes sense I guess and downtime can be expensive.
Unless you run EVC, but then you lock off any instructions in the newer cpu
ok does this look right?
