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 ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Tediore: Gotcha, ta

undone aspen

Quick, plug it with some scotch tape!

The water softener told it about your shenanigans @amber bramble

wet pilot
#

@proper oriole what kind of stream?

undone aspen
#

Ugh, I need to replace my water heater. Needed to 3 years ago. LOL

amber bramble
#

@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

proper oriole
#

phnx: Its an m3u file (internet radio)

wet pilot
#

i got one working once but it was kindof a pain and i don't remember what i did

proper oriole
#

lol no worries

shy comet
#

i send a m3u link myself

proper oriole
#

dshokouhi: You can cast .m3u to a chrome device?

shy comet
#

i turn on KROQ when we are in teh shower ๐Ÿ˜›

#

yea you can play them on it as long as you have a valid URL

proper oriole
#

Thats awesome, thank you. I'll have a go. I've tried the audio being set to mp4 before, but will try again

shy comet
#

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

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

clever mortar
#

Don't buy cheap

#

Ideally, find reviews of the seller and strips

clear ferry
undone aspen
#

Okay.. Jelle's Marble Runs.. Is pretty freaking awesome.

limpid wind
#

Definitely not, intrested in buying better but not sure what to look out for

fading zodiac
#

Philips

limpid wind
#

I want some of the effect that has diffrent leds on the same strip

fading zodiac
#

but

#

no clue

#

that's hard

fading zodiac
#

I am not sure if they support multii led

limpid wind
#

second picture shows a music mode with diffrent colors so I assume so

fading zodiac
#

Might be a mode

limpid wind
#

hmmmm think he might just be a numpty surely, loads of other reviews with pictures of people showing them

fading zodiac
#

Well

limpid wind
#

iphone user? ๐Ÿ˜„

fading zodiac
#

as i said

#

it is a mode

#

Leds hardly hare controllable

#

Hardly*

limpid wind
#

what do you mean a mode?, it can do a few preset things and thats it you mean?

fading zodiac
#

Yes

#

I don't think you can select each led another color.

#

and it's bluetooth

limpid wind
#

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

fading zodiac
#

Ah yes

#

Sounds fine to me

rain lintel
#

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?

wet pilot
#

un-official integrations that may or may not be stable or follow the best practices of HA

light trout
#

It's custom so yes

rain lintel
#

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?

light trout
#

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

amber bramble
#

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

clever mortar
#

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

light trout
#

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?

scenic radish

scenic radish

Sounds like you don't have enough extensions

brisk glen

lol

amber bramble
#

tbh chrome is getting pretty bad lately

undone aspen
#

Getting?

brisk glen
#

there is something wrong with the web when it takes 10x more cpu use than a linux vm running docker containers

undone aspen
#

CPU/RAM wise, Chrome is and always has been the worst.

brisk glen
#

home assistant sits at like 2.1% of a core

wet pilot
#

part of that is because of the sandboxing decision

brisk glen
#

with nginx etc

wet pilot
#

nginx is pretty lightweight on its own

#

HA is pretty light on cpu in most cases

#

its using ~300M of memory though

shy comet
#

unless you plan on running tensorflow lol

wet pilot
#

nginx is using none cpu and 200k of memory ๐Ÿ˜„

yay, weather's finally consistent and my yard is taking off

#

dem stripes doe

amber bramble
#

eh. Chrome used to be "lightweight"

undone aspen
#

No, it didn't.

amber bramble
#

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

undone aspen
#

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./

clear ferry
#

I switched to Firefox a year ago, even my 48GB laptop thanks me

undone aspen
#

heh

#

yep. I switched back when Firefox Aurora came out, with the newer sandboxing they implemented came out.

@last dirge our yard - just mowed two days ago, itโ€™s been raining a lot, so time to mow again!

Still havenโ€™t planted vegetables or flowers yet. Maybe this weekend.

Mostly same old same old, nothing too exciting

Yeah... time to upgrade my HA. I do it every other release these days. Canโ€™t keep up.

unreal orbit
#

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. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It works as long as I donโ€™t update it.

life has been ๐Ÿ’ฏ 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.

unreal orbit
#

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

last plaza
#

Yeah... Docker is cool. Extremely easy!

unreal orbit
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜…

last plaza
#

Hmm.

#

once you try one, you will realize how easy it is.

unreal orbit
#

True, I'm planning on giving it a shot soon

steel urchin
#

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!

unreal orbit
#

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

Hmmmmm..

#

Well, Wyze Cam vs Ring Cam. Ring definitely beats the living snot out of Wyze, in every aspect of quality.

forest edge
#

cept price

undone aspen
#

I said quality. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

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.

wild grove
#

it can be local though

undone aspen
#

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

Ring customer service is top notch

#

they have a unique upgrade program too

undone aspen
#

@shy comet Definitely can agree with that.

forest edge
#

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

shy comet
#

i started out with a gen 1 for 180 way back when

#

they charged me $20 to upgrade to gen 2

undone aspen
#

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)

forest edge
#

i like m,y little 20 buck HD 20fps with nightvision and spot on motion detection camera

undone aspen
#

My doorbell cam faces the evening sun, so it gets hot. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

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.

forest edge
#

I don't have those issues

undone aspen
#

Not on the Ring cameras. ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

i think it's user error ๐Ÿ˜‹

undone aspen
#

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.

forest edge
#

yea well if your using the official firmware that is likely your issue lol

undone aspen
#

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.

shy comet
#

rings integration has been improved a lot

undone aspen
#

Firmware also cannot fix night time quality issues. ๐Ÿ™‚

shy comet
#

im wating on my PR to get accepted to request real time snapshots

undone aspen
#

@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.

undone aspen
#

Oooh, nice!

shy comet
#

someone has to add the alarm modes to this library

#

or we need to use another, but ideally this library

forest edge
#

no offense @undone aspen i experience 0 of any of the issues you have and had mine setup for months now

undone aspen
#

Yeah, with a Z-Wave motion sensor, something like that you could predictively tell the cameras to take snapshots. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

@forest edge Just because you don't understand the difference first hand, doesn't mean it's not a problem. ๐Ÿ˜„

shy comet
#

i just want a snapshot when thye detect motion lol

forest edge
#

well then

undone aspen
#

I mean, do you have any other cameras to compare against? ๐Ÿ˜‰

forest edge
#

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

undone aspen
#

โ€ผ๏ธ Alert โ€ผ๏ธ Alert โ€ผ๏ธ Someone is wrong.... on the internet. ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

lol well if it can work for one person, it works for all

undone aspen
#

Not necessarily true, actually.

forest edge
#

I don't run official firmware so maybe that's your issue

undone aspen
#

And yet you say I'm the one doing it wrong? ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

well even when i did, it wasn't as bad as you put it

#

so yea lol

undone aspen
#

They work, and for what they are, and for their price tag, they work well, considering, no doubt about all that at all. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

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.

forest edge
#

well i don't run mine at 1080

#

tedior does ask him

undone aspen
#

I've run mine at varied resolutions, all with the same effect.

forest edge
#

official uses some kind of upscaled 320 resoultion

undone aspen
#

Ugh.. Really?

forest edge
#

yup

undone aspen
#

Well, that could explain the quality issues right there.

forest edge
#

it's cause it has to do motion edetection and other stuff, it's a 20 buck camera

undone aspen
#

Well, $25. ๐Ÿ™‚

forest edge
#

moving off official allows you to dump the bloat and set things how you want

undone aspen
#

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.

forest edge
#

look up dafang

undone aspen
#

Ahh that one?

#

You loose the ability to use the Wyze app when using a firmware like that, yes?

forest edge
#

yes

undone aspen
#

Do you have to then use the Chinese MI app?

forest edge
#

you don't use an app, it has a built in webserver for making changes

#

app are cloud

undone aspen
#

Hmmm

forest edge
#

dafang makes it a local only

shy comet
#

as long as you can use it via RTSP your golden

undone aspen
#

RTSP, yeah, motionEye. And Homebridge Homekit camera integration.

tame parrot
#

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? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

undone aspen
#

Never heard of Homey.

tame parrot
#

ohhhh

undone aspen
#

But, HA can do anything.

#

You can even design your HA to try to takeover the world, every night!

tame parrot
#

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

undone aspen
#

No.

tame parrot
#

ohhhh

undone aspen
#

It can run on a Pi, sure.

#

You need /a computer/.

tame parrot
#

but my computer has to be on for it to work right

undone aspen
#

Well, of course. The computer you put it on has to be on, obviously.

tame parrot
#

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

undone aspen
#

Well, I said /a computer/, not YOUR computer. ๐Ÿ˜‰

tame parrot
#

yeah, lol

#

but i just have one computer

undone aspen
#

This /computer/ could be an RPI3/4, Intel Atom (More recommended for power), Laptop, etc.

tame parrot
#

ohhhh

#

i'm sorry, i missunderstood

#

whats an intel atom? i don't think i heard of that

undone aspen
#

Google's your friend ๐Ÿ˜‰

tame parrot
#

i just did

#

expensive

undone aspen
#

Worth the price for what you get.

tame parrot
#

its basically a mini pc right

undone aspen
#

Basically.

#

Ahhh, Homey.

#

Common comments. It's slow, laggy, closed, and not as powerful as HASS.

tame parrot
#

haha, so you know now, XD

undone aspen
#

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.

tame parrot
#

ohhhh, so i need to buy seperate zigby stuff to let it work?

#

or zwave

undone aspen
#

Correct. Doesn't look like HASS supports using the Homey for such devices.

tame parrot
#

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

undone aspen
#

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.

tame parrot
#

oh, cool

#

can u use google assistant too?

#

like use your voice

undone aspen
#

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?

tame parrot
#

you need to pay to use google assistant?

undone aspen
#

To integrate with, yes.

tame parrot
#

oof

sacred jackal
#

you can do it without

undone aspen
#

Supports development.

#

And, Cheap, $5/mo. Not bad.

tame parrot
#

so, any recommendations for a intel atom? do i need to look for any specific specs?

wet pilot
#

@undone aspen false

sacred jackal
#

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

wet pilot
#

You do not need to pay for Google or Alexa integrations

fathom sparrow
#

they just require more setup

#

for the free version

tame parrot
#

oh, do u do not need it, lol

undone aspen
#

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,

tame parrot
#

i don't mind paying to support, but i think Home Assistant is confusing or difficuld to use

unreal orbit
#

Which part is confusing you?

tame parrot
#

i have no clue, lol

undone aspen
#

Just keep in mind, this particular channel isn't for HASS support. ๐Ÿ™‚

unreal orbit
#

Well answering that question would be a good place to start

tame parrot
#

haha

#

i know it isn't, i can read, but i don't have it so i'm not asking support, XD

undone aspen
#

"Don't have it" doesn't mean you're not asking support. :p

fathom sparrow
#

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.

undone aspen
#

Yep. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

That's the big thing about HA. Integrations, opensource, community, and portability.

tame parrot
#

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

undone aspen
#

I moved my HASS from an RPi4 to a Laptop, without issue. ๐Ÿ™‚

tame parrot
#

idk if you need to code, i can't code, XD

There are guides to help you either way though

#

@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

tame parrot
#

so a pi is good enough?

dull chasm
#

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

tame parrot
#

what takes a while?

dull chasm
#

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

oh, cool

you mean the zigbee/zwave part right, XD

dull chasm
#

yes

tame parrot

ahhh, thats indeed no biggie

dull chasm

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

oh, cool

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?

scenic radish
#

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

last dirge
#

here's a 4 year old guide

scenic radish
#

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

tidal bronze
#

@last dirge no

last dirge
#

@scenic radish can you create a firewall group with an IPV6 address?

scenic radish
#

let me check, it doesn't look like i can from the UI at least

last dirge
#

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

scenic radish
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Why port forward anyway? SNAT/DNAT is the way to go and do it right.

scenic radish
#

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

tidal bronze
#

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.

scenic radish
#

ah, thanks. tbh i'm so frustrated i might just return this stuff lol

tidal bronze
#

It's a little overwhelming to boot. Just takes a little time and patience.

#

Specially if you are used to click and go lol

scenic radish
#

yeah that's fair

tidal bronze
#

But once you get use to granular control and FW rules, bulb will light up and you will know what you have been missing ๐Ÿ™‚

scenic radish
#

yeah... it just seems odd that i can't select a device to open an ipv6 port on

tidal bronze
#

Seems like you will need the server to be on a dedicated ETHx. since gets its own routable ipv6.

scenic radish
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Then do the WAN_IN / LOCAL rules for that ETHx

scenic radish
#

problem would be dynamically updating the AAAA record

tidal bronze
#

Run the DDNS

scenic radish
#

doesn't look like it supports cloudflare

#

lemme google it

#

ah there it is

last dirge
#

how often does your IP actually change?

scenic radish
#

Not sure about the ipv6 address

wet quail
#

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

hushed basalt

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

fading zodiac
#

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.

hushed basalt
#

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

And well, Alexa for lack of suitable alternative yet

clear ferry
#

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

clever mortar
#

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)

clear ferry
#

yeah, most customers "plan" to replace every 3-5 years, in reality it ends up being 5-10 years

clever mortar
#

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

#

@clear ferry even if servers and power are free

#

There's still a huge cost of operations

clear ferry

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

clever mortar

Yeah, any of the "proper" hardware I've been involved with over the last ... 10-20 years has required very minimal maintenance

Early Christmas this year!
@low harness Iโ€™ve 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.

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.

made your own?

so, how does that work. Chicken egg scenario

last plaza
#

Yes. I made a solid table for the table saw ๐Ÿคฃ

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 donโ€™t have industrial table saws like SawStop.

Tis an idea, at least until I get the pyecobee stuff working to change profiles. ๐Ÿ™‚

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.

wet pilot

lol why?

scenic radish
#

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

clever mortar
#

The USG has a UI for these things

scenic radish
#

now i can spend even MOAR money

clever mortar
#

There is a UI on the ER too

#

I've used it before for port forwarding and stuff

scenic radish
#

there is, but anything ipv6 related is CLI only

clever mortar
#

But yeah, it's not great

scenic radish

except for enabling ipv6 which can be done in the UI

I've been living the Jellyfin life lately, plex was too unreliable for me

Unreliable?

But I've also never used it

How much $$ you guys drop on your plex server?

Their auth service requires cloud polling. Their cloud goes down, you can't access your local content

Well, I built my home server with Plex in mind, but I was going to build it anyway

#

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

clear ferry
#

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

clever mortar
#

Jellyfin has no Samsung or PS4 client... ๐Ÿ‘Ž

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

shy comet
#

i like Plex but i hate the transcoding decision process

#

which is why at home I prefer Kodi

#

Plex on the go

unreal orbit
#

@clever mortar yeah the apps are limited, but they have a roku app which is the only one I use

boreal pewter
#

There is no real Transcoding decision... it's just you using shitty clients and too good rips

clever mortar
#

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...

unreal orbit
#

I haven't played around with it too much. I really only stream from either my TV or chrome on a computer

clear ferry
#

I never even notice transcoding, so I don't care

boreal pewter

Yeah chrome on computer will most likely be transcoded ๐Ÿ˜„

shy comet

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

it honestly comes down to preference they both do the same thing lol

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

@clever mortar you ever watch the new DC animated movies?

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

@shy comet , I found a use case that doesnโ€™t 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 wonโ€™t work on rasbian
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4

shy comet
#

@green inlet you may need to find a repo that works for raspbian in that case

green inlet
#

But the old answer worked

shy comet
#

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 300โ‚ฌ vs 180โ‚ฌ and the motherboards cost 200โ‚ฌ vs 100โ‚ฌ. Who besides atxbyea is going to buy these at these prices? ๐Ÿค”

clever mortar
#

You can install recent ffmpeg on Raspbian easily enough, whether you have to do it from source is the question

green inlet
#

I donโ€™t 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

clear ferry
#

I think we've sold less than 100 AMD servers in Scandinavia the last quarter, probably close to 5000 Intel's doffysmug

shy comet
#

oh yea i honestly just copied what worked for me in there

clever mortar
#

Intel is still king in the server space

#

(again)

green inlet
#

Maybe leave old instructions for rasbian install?

orchid rose
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜›

amber bramble

my i7-2600k is starting to feel old finally. Most likely going with Ryzen if I replace it in the next year

shy comet
#

@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

wet pilot
#

i do think intel needs a kick in servers too just to make sure they're actually caring

amber bramble

i think intel stopped caring a lot when AMD had the bulldozer fiasco

ffmpeg --version or some such though

Is it a huge hassle to move from one x86 to another?

wet pilot
#

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

orchid rose
#

I remember reading something about that but have no clue how any of the server side stuff works

clear ferry
#

@orchid rose requires downtime of every single vm

orchid rose
#

So the cluster can run with some of the systems removed, but you can't mix and match AMD and Intel stuff?

clear ferry
#

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

orchid rose
#

Alright, gotcha. Makes sense I guess and downtime can be expensive.

clear ferry
#

Unless you run EVC, but then you lock off any instructions in the newer cpu
