In NZ a minister stood down because she had two undeclared meetings with someone from a telco company

In AU.. i don't even want to list all the shit that goes on in broad daylight

[wet pilot]

[ocean mirage]

yeah for like a week

[wet pilot]

eh, we're a fucking hot mess in the US. i can't judge there

aus politicians get away with some shit hey

like neither is a democracy but theirs at least looks better

[autumn tartan]

crazy (more you know theme song I can hear)

[odd mason]

@wet pilot he's a moron

[wet pilot]

need to force our dipshits to wear nascar fire suits with all their sponsors

[odd mason]

anyone that disagrees just needs to watch his press conference where he said he didn't know that there are people without symptoms walking around infecting others

what's funny is that i'm pretty conservative in my beliefs but last few years republicans are pissing me off. no one gives a shit about small government. it's democrats and selfish-democrats (republicans)

[autumn tartan]

heavy alcohol to be safe tho

[ocean mirage]

they speak english in norway thats how we can talk to atx

[wet pilot]

i know he speaks english

[odd mason]

that's good to know. i've always wanted to visit that area

[ocean mirage]

yeah i mean there has never been a big divide between your two parties in memory

[wet pilot]

even our "socialists" are still pretty far to the right of what EU would call socialists

[ocean mirage]

yeah americans dont generally use that word....right

[odd mason]

a lot of this stuff is so simple

[wet pilot]

lol we don't get a lot of things right

[odd mason]

like social security...what a waste

[ocean mirage]

you got two firmly right wing parties just guns and abortions and lgbt is the difference

[odd mason]

what's the point of that when you don't have universal healthcare

[wet pilot]

it'll be insolvent in 10 years anyway

[odd mason]

we're all just paying for no reason

[autumn tartan]

there are a lot of lazy folk here ... so universal anything is largely a "hand out"

its a culture lol

[wet pilot]

seeing some of that right now with the stimulus

some people are making more on unemployment than they did when they were working

[ocean mirage]

hah

[odd mason]

yup but that also says a whole lot about how much people are making

[wet pilot]

yup

[autumn tartan]

oh man, don't get me started on the $2K a month universal income some fools are pitching

[odd mason]

but u have to take a look at what they're spending the money on. research says it's on essentials

[ocean mirage]

yeah like they were not being paid what they are worth in their job so...cool?

[odd mason]

that's why i vote democrat now for the most part. at least they're the big gov party that spreads shit around

[autumn tartan]

if essentials include Louis handbags, then yes LOL

[odd mason]

that's not what the research says tho

[hushed basalt]

DANGER WILL ROBINSON

[autumn tartan]

aka socialist as someone said

[odd mason]

LOL

[hushed basalt]

Pol alert

[autumn tartan]

...who;s research?

nah not going down that road

you do you

[ocean mirage]

i mean who cares what they spend it on its still peanuts

[wet pilot]

i'd be ok with UBI if it was pinned to median costs of food + housing in the full country and not adjusted for increased children count over 2

@scenic radish is it politics if it should be global?

[odd mason]

i defintely don't agree with UBI

[ocean mirage]

UBI seems for people who realize that capitalism is shit but they cant think of anything better

[hushed basalt]

🚔

[odd mason]

but i do agree that min wage needs to be a lot higher

[ocean mirage]

[autumn tartan]

this is a good discussion with truly global views

[odd mason]

at least track inflation over the past 30 some years

[wet pilot]

increase minimum wages and low tier jobs will be automated out

[autumn tartan]

^^

[odd mason]

that's gonna happen sooner or later anyways

[wet pilot]

that's why UBI is being brought up

[odd mason]

it's already happening

[autumn tartan]

i don't agree with min wage...we have a big handout problem here

nobody helped me ... i shoveled faster

[ocean mirage]

used them bootstraps eh

[hushed basalt]

🔥🔥 🔥 🧯

[ocean mirage]

what a meme

[autumn tartan]

🧊 🍧 🍦

lol

irony of the automation discord channel tho, eh?

[wet pilot]

haha

[ocean mirage]

if only there were a way to solve both problems

[odd mason]

i'm a first gen immigrant and brew up extremely poor. so i definitely understand the need for min wage. but i agree that UBI is not the answer. there are other middle steps that we dont have in america

like healthcare

and we waste money on stupid shit

[autumn tartan]

right

[ocean mirage]

nah screw the middle step I want the further step

[autumn tartan]

it's the abuse that needs solving

[odd mason]

you keep saying abuse but the abuse vs benefit is very low

there isn't as much abuse as fox news would have you believe

[ocean mirage]

and who even cares about abuse

[odd mason]

the abuse is coming from other areas like gov spending on stupid shit

[ocean mirage]

the choice is get a 'hand out' or get exploited for your labour

[odd mason]

and more and more on defense that isn't necessary

[ocean mirage]

maybe if you taxed the exploiters you'd have some real cash to share

[autumn tartan]

not the news ... and yes, true ....but defense? Hello china?

[odd mason]

and aid to other countries that don't do shit for us

[autumn tartan]

^^

[odd mason]

what about china?

[scenic radish]

Bois.

[ocean mirage]

ah yes cause helping others is only good if you yourself get helped

[wet pilot]

getting a bit too close to politics now

[ocean mirage]

now

[autumn tartan]

too emotional for some, yes

[odd mason]

i thought we were way past the line

lol

[wet pilot]

eh, it was constructive

[odd mason]

so far i think we've kept it pretty civil

[autumn tartan]

nah ... still say it is a good discussion

[scenic radish]

Rarely does it not go that way at some point which is why I summoned the bot

But yes, it was actually constructive at first

[autumn tartan]

i like to hear everyone's view ... i don't have any strong opinions

good summer time project

unplugged at present ... but neat idea

if you BBQ and have an old RPi 1 lying around you were going to throw out, get an RTL-SDR USB antenna and a Maverick

[hushed basalt]

My thermometer uses bluetooth to talk to an app

I haven't looked into intercepting it

[clear ferry]

@autumn tartan @orchid rose will be interested

@hushed basalt doing the same right now

[hushed basalt]

Are bbqs just places where you melt drinking water for reindeer?

[autumn tartan]

it's where we cook and eat reindeer over here

lol

pretty cool to ask "alexa, tell us about the BBQ" and have it respond with temps...and also get alerts in HA when thresholds are exceeded.

It was a close friend during the last 12 hour overnight brisket cook

going from memory, I think I have the Maverick 733 (?) ... but any that use 433MHz would work with this. My receiver display broke and it motivated me to add to HA

ah - ET-732 ... this one: https://www.amazon.com/Maverick-732-Remote-Smoker-Thermometer/dp/B004IMA718

morning

have you seen the new raspberry with 8GB of ram ?

the one with 4GB is good enough to run Home Assistant without problem?

[clear ferry]

Yes

For many users

If you run supervised with a lot of add-ons it will still get stuffed soon

[midnight adder]

I'm completely new on that, so I have nothing yet

[clear ferry]

You will probably

[midnight adder]

I want to use some sonoff dual for blinds

and some sonoff mini for light and similar

will you use a dedicated raspberry for home assistant?

[clear ferry]

I moved off raspberry pi after a week

[midnight adder]

what do you use now ?

[clear ferry]

Went to a VM on a BL460c G7 running esxi 24c/192GB to a docker host running opensuse with 4c/12GB to now running in a freebsd jail on a freenas host (dell r510) with 24c/192GB

[clever mortar]

My HA install is on an old laptop now

[midnight adder]

uuuu, that's very different to a raspberry 😆

[clear ferry]

[ocean mirage]

who actually uses HA smh

[clear ferry]

[midnight adder]

well, I would like to try with that, because I will put it hide near the router

[ocean mirage]

you'll probably be fine

at least for ages

[clear ferry]

Just buy a proper sd card

That will last longer than 2 weeks

[midnight adder]

when I'll get more expert... then I'll think in something more

but I'm in a new flat, and I want to think good about locations and that

it's very difficult

[clever mortar]

WD Purple SD cards (or any industrial card) should last a lot longer than others

raspberry 4 has microSD, isn't it ?

All Raspberry Pis do

[midnight adder]

and how many GB do you recommend ?

[clever mortar]

See https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/ 😉

It tells you right there

[midnight adder]

and if I use the raspberry with Hassio, can I use it for something more? like to share some drive on network o thinks like that ?

Well, #330990055533576204 would be able to tell you, but only with #add-ons-archived

If you want more, you need a different approach

Need to look at buying a house soon

But.. do I rule out areas without ftth?

[ocean mirage]

Depends on if you really need it

And then price

[hushed basalt]

Do I want to be in an area with 25/10 while people are on 1000

[ocean mirage]

Doesn’t everywhere basically get 100/40?

Like not actuall speeds

[hushed basalt]

Noooooope

[ocean mirage]

Dang

[hushed basalt]

I think 25 is the minimum you're guaranteed

With plenty of drop outs

[ocean mirage]

Sucks

Any idea of how many areas like that near you

[hushed basalt]

It's a house by house basis

Distance from node, bad copper,

[ocean mirage]

Oh right

You’re in Perth right?

[hushed basalt]

Yeah but it's the same for anywhere that isn't fttp

Only way to guarantee to get what you pay for is fttp

Everywhere else is a lottery with nothing you can do about it

And can get worse at any time

[ocean mirage]

I just assumed the nodes were fairly dense there

[hushed basalt]

Nodes go where pillars go

And they service about 900 connections each

So it's really a factor of housing density not city size

[ocean mirage]

Ah yeah yay makes sense

Housing is fairly sparse here relatively I guess

[hushed basalt]

Plus copper quality is very very poor

But patchy

I don't think I'll ever forgive this country for it

[ocean mirage]

plenty of things that fall under that category

if you have a locked gate you just say drop it at the gate

they often do that at our never locked gate anyway

Is raspberry pi firmware handled by the OS or the device itself ? I have a new pi thats running pretty hot but Im not running raspbian with it. I suspect its not been patched to fix the thermal issues it had at launch. Whats the easiest way to do so ?

[unreal orbit]

That is a very comforting quote to me

Until you think about the fact that most people don't really know what they're doing and we're all kinda just winging it

a bit scary

[clever mortar]

Yeah, but the more you realise that the scarier it gets...

But, I take solace in the fact that my experience (and the way my brain works) means that I can do things nobody else can. That and the fact that I usually spot my fuck-ups before anybody else does, so can fix them before anybody realises 😄

Second guessing yourself definitely helps snuff out would-be problems

[clever mortar]

Yup

Are you sure was a common refrain

Plus clearly communicated high expectations

Still, the flip side is that I've got an insanely long track record of success

Partly because:

Failure is not an option - it is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.

[unreal orbit]

I'm sure it's difficult as a parent to decide when/how to instill lessons of humility. One of the things I dread most about becoming a parent

[alpine drum]

In a way, failure will always be the last thing you do

You failed to live

Alternatively you successfully died

[clever mortar]

Yeah, parenting is ... challenging

It's that balance between the universe is a harsh place, and you're irrelevant and go aim for your dreams

[scenic radish]

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
—Thomas Edison

[alpine drum]

Fail faster

[scenic radish]

sounds like when i first started using linux...

[alpine drum]

https://youtu.be/rDjrOaoHz9s

[unreal orbit]

When I first started anything really

[light trout]

https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstrategyfail-fast set it to false

[unreal orbit]

That's probably why I love games like Dark Souls so much. It basically forces failure on you until you can overcome an obstacle

[clear ferry]

I still need to get past the mikiri counter miniboss in Sekiro

[unreal orbit]

Stuff like that is so dependent on being able to develop reliable muscle memory. Sekiro was difficult for me coming from souls game timing/countering

Mostly because the combat system is 100x more complicated

[clear ferry]

Yes, I did all bosses and extras in souls

I suck hard at Sekiro

People have said it is more like dancing, and my rythm is terrible

[scenic radish]

i can't beat sans in undertale

friggin impossible

i also felt horrible doing a genocide run in undertale

[unreal orbit]

Yeah usually "genocide" anything is not such a good time

[clear ferry]

You can't even beat Frenck Souls - Creator of the first Add-on

[scenic radish]

creator of "the Nabu Casa integration" according to someone too

[light trout]

is there a nabu casa integration?

[scenic radish]

not AFAIK

also yesterday i experienced Debian host > Windows 10 VM > RDP session to Windows 10 work laptop > Windows 10 VM

can't believe it wasn't absolutely horrible

[unreal orbit]

I'm pretty much done with trying to do anything server/remote related on a Windows PC. Too many frustrations and shitty workarounds for things that work great on linux

[scenic radish]

yeah in this case i didn't have a choice unfortunately

[unreal orbit]

The last utility my Windows PC has at this point is gaming

[scenic radish]

i'm a console pleb so i don't even have a bare metal windows machine anymore

i should try windows 10 ARM on a pi lol

[unreal orbit]

The only reason I've been against consoles for so long is the issue with backwards compatibility. It just kills it for me

[scenic radish]

yeah thankfully any 360 games i wanted to play on the xbox one i was able to

[unreal orbit]

I still break out my PS3 occasionally to play through some older stuff

Everything older than that I can just emulate

[light trout]

Xbox has been kinder than ps in that department

[scenic radish]

i do have steam installed on my debian machine but this bitch gets hot AF when doing anything even slightly graphics intensive

90+ C, fan at 4500 RPM

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[light trout]

I was a console gamer untill Sony bricked my PS4 witha firmware upgrade

[scenic radish]

hell, even idling it's like 55 C lol

wut?

[unreal orbit]

I was a console gamer until my Xbox 360 red ringed

3

times

[scenic radish]

oof

i didn't get a console until the 360 slim came out, and thankfully by then they had worked out any thermal issues

[unreal orbit]

The only other console I've purchased myself is a PS4 to play Bloodborne

the PS3 was a hand-me-down

[light trout]

I've had N64, PS, PS one, PS2, PS3, PS4 -> PC

[unreal orbit]

Oh and my Switch, but I hardly count that

Similar list, but Xbox 360 after PS2

And SNES before N64

(but I was really too young to play it before the N64 came out)

[light trout]

Before N64 I was in kindergarten 😄

[unreal orbit]

Oh yeah I definitely did not play either of those on their actual release cycle

We didn't get an N64 until 98 maybe

[strange vapor]

A neighbour got the the N64 early. We spend so long playing Goldeneye!!!

[light trout]

I got mine the summer before I started school, so in 97

[strange vapor]

Played it recently again, still great fun, but the graphics haven't aged the best 😄

[unreal orbit]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

[light trout]

Graphics are "fine", I have issues with the controlls on it now :/

[strange vapor]

Nah, took a few minutes and we all got back into it quickly!

[light trout]

But I was one of the wierd kids that used the joystick

[unreal orbit]

Was the DPad actually functional? I don't remember using it for anything

[light trout]

maybe not, don't remember 😂

[unreal orbit]

That controller design was just...

I still don't understand what they were thinking

[strange vapor]

We used to alternate between Goldeneye, MarioKart and some F1 game.

I remember the F1 game having worse physics than MarioKart!

[unreal orbit]

Wave Race anyone?

[scenic radish]

WAVE RACE!

yessssss

so good

[unreal orbit]

That was our jam

and Pilots Wings 64

[strange vapor]

Actually, I pulled out my Megadrive a while ago. Road Rash anyone?

[scenic radish]

also yeah, playing goldeneye after controllers now have two analog sticks is...an experience, to say the least

how tf did i ever play that game lol

[unreal orbit]

by having no other frame of reference

[light trout]

exactly! It was goldeneye I recently tried

[scenic radish]

yeah that's true i suppose

[unreal orbit]

That's why picking oddjob was a dick move. Aiming anywhere but the standard horizontal plane was painful

[light trout]

but his hat was awesome 😄

[unreal orbit]

True

Man now I want to get an N64 emulator going again

I still occasionally play my way through Ocarina of Time. I was doing it every summer, but it's been a few years now

[shy comet]

love me some zelda

[strange vapor]

I got to know the maps so well I could navigate while always looking at the wall. Really handy skill to have when playing multiplayer on a single screen. I could monitor peoples screens and see where they were and then swing around for snap shots.

[unreal orbit]

Or Star Wars pod racing 🤣

[strange vapor]

Annoyed the f**k out of people I was playing against.

Doubt if I could still do it now.

[unreal orbit]

Screen cheater! 😤

[scenic radish]

Slappers only

[strange vapor]

Yup, not my fault I know the map so well 😄

[scenic radish]

But it is your fault that you're a dirty cheater

[unreal orbit]

(we all did it, just never admit it)

[strange vapor]

To be far, I never played as Oddjob!!!

[unreal orbit]

At least theres that

[scenic radish]

And people complain about Apex's hitboxes

[unreal orbit]

Getting labeled a cheen screater was a good way to never be invited to play in my house

[scenic radish]

Poor snowflakes never knew oddjob

Dude you know what you just did by saying "cheen screater" right?

It's called a spoonerism

And I love doing that

[unreal orbit]

I had no idea there was a word for it

TIL

We do that all the time

[light trout]

I "never" did that 🙄

[scenic radish]

There's a Chicago suburb called Carol Stream that I call "sterile cream"

[unreal orbit]

We make fun of our friend that can't say "seat heater". It always comes out "heat seater"

[scenic radish]

Starol Cream

@unreal orbit better than Hater Weater

[unreal orbit]

Jokes on us though, now it's hard to not say "heat seater"

[scenic radish]

"houghter weeter"

[hollow pawn]

can you mix YAML and GUI for adding automations yet? I wanted to try out the built in editor but I don't want to mess up my other 50 automations lol

anybody have a cheap thermal imaging camera?

@unreal orbit my car's definitely got seated heats

front AND rear

[clear ferry]

Gonna take pictures of your farts again?

My 92 Audi had that @last dirge

[last dirge]

I've got a pretty major air leak somewhere

part of the issue is definitely the dryer vent, but there's gotta be something different too

the AC is running almost non-stop in dehumidifier mode and the humidity is wildly swinging

the FLIRs are like $400

it'd take a LOT of electricity to make that up

[scenic radish]

@clever mortar your 🍻 made me think of a certain Chumbawumba song...

[clever mortar]

The only one I really remember is Tubthumping (or something like that)

[scenic radish]

he drinks a whiskey drink

[clever mortar]

I probably heard most of them, but that was then

[scenic radish]

he drinks a vodka drink

[clever mortar]

😄

[scenic radish]

he drinks a lager drink

he drinks a cider drink

That song slaps, for real

[final briar]

is it easy to integrating a i2c 16x2 display with hassio? i am thinking of getting one to display some data from a webhook or a webrequest with node-red

[velvet horizon]

Hass.io was the old name for the appliance like install option, that uses Docker. It is now simply called Home Assistant (and the previous Home Assistant is now called Home Assistant Core).

This blog post explains the renaming.

Command '~hassio' was invoked by: Tinkerer

[clever mortar]

Sounds like a #hardware-archived or #integrations-archived question really

[final briar]

alright

just went up on a ladder and found out the dryer flapper thing wasn't flapping

so I fixed that

but it's sealed poorly

[scenic radish]

Yeah it won't ever be a super tight seal unless maybe you get a magnetic one

[last dirge]

there's a different kind of vent I want to try

[scenic radish]

But those can cause issues

Like damn son

[last dirge]

[scenic radish]

Hawt

[forest edge]

@last dirge no house is air tight. we have crawl space attics mostly here so humidity in the air can easily pass down into the home aside from other usual spots like doors windows etc

[scenic radish]

In fact having no air exchange at all can be bad for indoor air quality

Just depends on if your air exchange is passive (leaky) or active (ventilator)

[forest edge]

i have a system humidifer but only a stand alone dehumidifier and I generally keep humidity up enough that would trip the dehumidifier which I only use rarely on bad humid days

[scenic radish]

Humidity seems to trend toward high in here always even in the winter

Which I find odd. Both bathrooms have extractor fans and my OTR microwave is vented though, admittedly, the duct is undersized

And those aren't as good as a proper range hood anyway

[forest edge]

stop taking so many hot showers lol

[scenic radish]

5 a day seems perfectly reasonable, tyvm

[forest edge]

if you live above someone then during winter your place is being passively heated from below

[scenic radish]

Right, plus the "benefit" of added humidity

So that's probably part of it

My heat hardly runs in the winter but I pay for it in the summer

[forest edge]

thats why i added a humidifer onto the ac system to replace that lost humidity during winter

[last plaza]

if you live above someone then during winter your place is being passively heated from below
@forest edge probably a greenhouse effect 😛

people below emitting "gases" that eventually raises up lol

You do not have right to post images in other channels

[green inlet]

The word drongo is used in Australian English as a mild form of insult meaning "idiot" or "stupid fellow"

[scenic radish]

It's been a minute, @valid halo

Yeah I picked it up via context, just wanted to loosely reference parks and rec

But thank u

[silk orbit]

To be fair calling someone a f**kwit in Australia is a mild form of insult

Thats getting to medium form of insult

[scenic radish]

I actually find that more offensive than saying fuck lol

It was culturally protected at the Microsoft campus at Redmond I am told. They had "Australia corner" where there were warnings your couldnt be offended by foul language

[scenic radish]

Is it actually that ingrained in Australian culture? I thought it was just a stereotype lol

[silk orbit]

I heard you can keep them quiet by tying their hands behind their back though

Yeah it is, I find it really hard not to swear around my 2yo

Well congrats to you. I was waving ole glory around about 21 years ago and I will have 3 20 year olds in 2 weeks. Greatest thing I ever did 😉

[silk orbit]

Its like Tom from Office Space

Damn man, triplets? 😫 🔫

[green inlet]

I already have a 2yo girl, plus 2.0 when she arrives, plus my wife... In 12 years I am moving into a van by the river

[green inlet]

Lmao....we always said, having a couple several ages apart would be much harder. At least we were doing the same thing. I can’t imagine bottle feeding one, chasing after a 2 year old, and dealing with teaching a 5 year old how to ride a bike

[wet pilot]

we're stopping with one

[ocean mirage]

we're stopping with zero

[green inlet]

Of course you are 🤣

[wet pilot]

gonna go get fixed, we're done 😄

[silk orbit]

I already have a dr to get the snip done

[green inlet]

Reversal

Know more than one guy who has done that

[last dirge]

livin the no kid life

[green inlet]

I can’t imagine getting snipped, let alone a reversal

[last dirge]

they do it with FRICKIN LASERS

[ocean mirage]

its so simple these days yeah

[silk orbit]

I could have gone either way, but my partner wanted kids, we were still discussing 2.0 when that happened lol

[ocean mirage]

we're not entirely closed off for the idea but not for the next 5 years at least

[silk orbit]

We are both adamant there will not be a 3rd

[last dirge]

we were on the fence

[ocean mirage]

kids sound like a lot of work and we are lazy

[last dirge]

then some of our best friends had a kid

that forced us over the fence into the "no way" camp

[ocean mirage]

I like the idea of raising some kids with my ideals but uh

[silk orbit]

Plus I am 40 this year and

[ocean mirage]

the rest not so much

I don’t judge anyone. I dreamed of a life of travel with just me and my wife. Kids are awesome and make you want to drive off a cliff, sometimes in the same hour

[undone aspen]

Youngin, || @silk orbit ||

[last dirge]

I had delusions of traveling the world

[silk orbit]

I have already done that with work

[last dirge]

shit's expensive though

[ocean mirage]

bougie af

[green inlet]

What is 2.0?

[silk orbit]

Slowed down right about the time my 1st was born

Thats the name of my in utero daughter for the moment

[hushed basalt]

I'm not a fan of tourist stuff

[green inlet]

Man, I love travel.

[hushed basalt]

I much prefer short periods away for work or conference wirh some spare time on weekends

2-3 weeks is nice

[silk orbit]

Traveling on your own can suck but I like traveling with collegues

[green inlet]

Not tourist stuff though. You got to get out

[undone aspen]

Well, fun times, I have a few Orange Pi Zero's coming, couple RPI 3B's coming, some more ESP8266's, ESP32's, and hmmmmm.. Ahh, yes, an Intel NUC for a dedicated HASS server. 🙂

[silk orbit]

My liver not so much

I am loving my Rock Pi 4's atm

4 of them with 250Gb NVMe SSDs running a k8s cluster with one having a razberry attached

[undone aspen]

Heh, Orange Pi Zero is going to be my first non-RaspberryPi ARM SBC.

[silk orbit]

I have Olimex Lime2's, Rock Pi 4's and RPi3s plus a crazy amount of esp8266 laying aorund

Those thigns are diposable

[undone aspen]

Heh yeah

Hmm, RockPi does look interesting.

[hushed basalt]

Has anyone ever dealt with shopify

[silk orbit]

@undone aspen I went mainline on everything and helped to get that running so I run Alpine linux on bare metal with mainline kernels and uboot

I am loving kubernetes atm for my home network, I am shutting down old servers and basically replacing everything with SBCs

[undone aspen]

Interesting.

[silk orbit]

Only big NAS will stay running, mainly cos thats where I ripped all my media to

[hushed basalt]

K8s is awesome

[silk orbit]

The espressobin looked interesting too

[hushed basalt]

Steep learning curve though

[undone aspen]

Heh, I need to expand out my NAS storage on my Synology, so I can backup my ceph storage cluster properly,.

[silk orbit]

@hushed basalt the biggest issue I am finding is I dont know what I dont know

[hushed basalt]

Yep

Azures videos are very good for a high level overview of k8s

[silk orbit]

@undone aspen I am running rook on all those Rkpis

[undone aspen]

rook?

[silk orbit]

https://rook.io

I am using rook-ceph for distributed storage

[hushed basalt]

It's ceph managed by k8s

So the ceph workers are all pods

[undone aspen]

huh..

[hushed basalt]

And you just tell then which OSDs to consume on the device

[silk orbit]

Auto allocates PVCs and stuff too

Its Ceph I dont have to directly manage

[hushed basalt]

I'm thinking about ceph

[silk orbit]

I guess ceph-csi does that part

[hushed basalt]

I have 3 x optiplex 9020s, with one boot ssd in each

I can fit 2 more 2.5" drives in each

Or one 3.5"

[undone aspen]

Heh, I have 3 towers as servers, and 1 actual "server", though older model Dell.

[hushed basalt]

9020s are great for what they are

[silk orbit]

I have 3 purpose built rack mount chassis for most of my stuff
