Egawds, I remember those horrendously huge 15MB HDDs.

15 MB hard drive? So you fondly remember 1987 @undone aspen ? I just remember the 20MB we had in 1988 haha

been slacking on getting my gutters cleaned out now naturally I got this forest growing in there. tried using one of those pole gutter sprayer wands and all i managed to accomplish was get myself soaking wet while it was 65 degrees outside

undone aspen

heh.

#

There was a time I was neglecting to clean out my gutters.....

#

A tree was literally growing in mine. 🙂

#

The roots were so long, they were all along the length of that segment of gutter, making it actually easy as heck to ultimately remove because it just came out kinda like carpet.

heh. My TTS Alexa automation is working again, since Amazon fixed whatever broke this Sunday. Blah. heh

I do wish there was a more local and independant way to do that. I guess, when I get my GoControl Z-Stick, I can simplify it with my siren for simpler door chimes, instead of spoken words.

it was kind of funny though. I asked some friends of mine. "Would it be creepy to have an Alexa Echo Dot in the bathrooms?"

Ahh, good point. Figured my name would give it away, but I’m in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado

clever mortar
#

So, USA electrical code 😛

#

You should just ask your question, and see if anybody feels like answering

rapid musk
#

I’ve just got a circuit that keeps tripping and happens to be my gfi. While I realize it’s probably overloaded and I need to fix that ASAP, what I don’t understand is how it’s tripping.

#

It’s in my garage and is the only gfi outlet in the house with the reset. The other outlets around sinks and such are on that gfi circuit though, just no button.

#

What’s freaking me out is when I turn on the mini split AC in the garage, on its own 220v circuit, it’s tripping my gfi.

clever mortar
#

Sounds like time to call in an electrician...

rapid musk
#

So no AC until I get it fixed. I have a feeling it revolves around my server stack in my garage that I have half of plugged into that gfi circuit.

#

Gonna just run a new 20amp circuit to the garage for the servers so they aren’t piggy backed on an existing circuit.

#

Yeah I called him, I’m in the hvac industry and know quite a few. He can’t get out until mid July 😭

is it possible to run 2 Raspberry PI 24/7 from a solar panel - battery combo?

clever mortar
#

Maybe

#

Depends entirely on that "combo"

dusky plank

how long will the pi's approx run with a 100wh battery?

clever mortar
#

Depends on how used it is ...

#

If you're running it at max it'll last a lot less than at idle

#

Amazing what you can find on Google 😉

dusky plank
#

okey so if it uses 10w it will run 10 hours?

clever mortar
#

Plug the figures in yourself and see

dusky plank
#

ha, nice thanks

#

guess I'll run HA with solar power in a few weeks

wet pilot
#

@rapid musk i've had that happen. we fixed it by just replacing the breaker. Apparently the GFI ones get trip happy as they age

rapid musk
#

Sounds plausible for sure. They’re original 90’s. I will replace them and run a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the servers and battery backups. Thanks!

Better to replace problematic GFs until you find a good one that lasts long!

Müricäns have safety measures in their electrics

Really

We do too in the UK, at least for modern wiring

#

Older stuff is more hopefully the fuse goes before you do

#

I think we have had mandatory ground in all sockets since.. pretty late actually, late 80s probably, then we got gfis in the early 90s mandatory

#

Everything before that is pretty Texas

Well, we've had ground required for a long long time too, but GCFI is a relatively new thing

1950... sheesh

Since you were 25 then?

GFCI 😉

clear ferry
#

But were they mandatory?

clever mortar
#

Also in 1934 the 10th Edition of the IEE’s “Regulations for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings” introduced the requirement for all sockets to have an earth contact.

clear ferry

I think we had them since the 40/50s, but not mandatory

Wut? Which ones?

The door sensors etc. I installed a few out at the side gates etc been running for 6 or 7 months now. Was testing but very impressed.

Well they're waterproof for at least 7 months I guess 😛

Are they IP rated? Can't find anything

I was just looking at these AC Infinity AirTap vent registers. Basically vent registers that have temperature, fans, and such, to pull more air through, but, only has a 6' power cable.

#

And the temperature probe built-in. So, if you have ceiling registers, like most houses do. It's pretty much near pointless.

Well, most muuuuurican houses

#

Not the rest of the world

undone aspen

Heh, oh?

clear ferry

But exceptionalism is strong

undone aspen

I mean, I've always thought it odd to have air vents.... on the ceiling. Because, hot air rises.

clear ferry
#

That's muuuuurica for you, strange ideas haha

undone aspen

lol

unreal orbit
#

It would depend on if you're heating or cooling

undone aspen
#

Or both.

clear ferry
#

Not at the same time I hope

unreal orbit
#

If you're doing both then floor vents don't make much sense

clever mortar
#

Interesting article I read a while back that explained that for cooling you want the intake air in the floor, and extract in the ceiling. It's more energy efficient apparently

unreal orbit
#

That's how my house is (well the intake is not "in" the floor, but on floor level)

undone aspen
#

Yeah, my intakes are on the wall by the foor. The outputs are all on the ceiling.

#

i was wondering, if you could use a single ip to check if your internet work, which one would you use ?
I found that 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 where really unreliable... so i've switch to a very popular adult site 🤷‍♂️

static schooner
clever mortar
#

I'd personally be checking upstream at my ISP first

fiery sorrel
#

i would love to know it, but tech support isn't tech ...

unreal orbit
#

If 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 were unreliable then much of the world would be having dns problems

fiery sorrel
#

8.8.8.8 flag you after a while and drop some of your packet, 1.1.1.1 i had packet lost all of last week

clear ferry
#

I have pinged a Norwegian website for 4 months because I forgot a ping once haha

#

Very good results!

fiery sorrel
#

may i have that website ? :P

unreal orbit
#

I've never heard of google dns flagging people. How often are you trying to ping?

fiery sorrel
#

every seconde, 24/7

#

While Google does not block ICMP or random UDP to 8.8.8.8 or other Google Public DNS IP addresses, there are rate limits on ICMP error replies from Google networking equipment, and ICMP error replies may be de-prioritized within Google networks and could be more likely to be dropped.

#

i've also try akamai, but there ip roll from time to time

last plaza
#

Have a bunch of iP addresses and rotate them

fiery sorrel
#

sadly i can't , i have a script for other purpose who only trigger if 20% of tested ip are down, but in this case it's only a single ip. That's why i'm wondering which one would you think of :)

unreal orbit
#

Every second is... excessive. You'll likely get limited by any ip you try to do that to (unless they aren't monitoring for it). I suggest using your own server

fiery sorrel
#

i'll have to rent a server only for ping request ... possible but not sure if it will be better 🤔

clever mortar
#

ping -r or traceroute to somewhere on the Internet and you'll get a bunch of IPs for the hops

#

Pick something relatively close, and you'll know if you have connectivity

#

That's worked for me pretty much since I got on the Internet

fiery sorrel
#

something close enough but outside of my isp ? or something in my isp network ?
i have some router ip from them, but some time they are the one having peering issue

@last plaza , when it comes to prices, Zillow is all over the map. Redfin seems to be more consistent to me.

@chilly nymph , just an example. Took my agent about 3 minutes to generate a small video on the neighborhood I live in. Had days on market, median home price, homes on market, a little about the area. She said, should take you agent about 30 minutes to pull about same thing for 10 different neighborhoods.

I'm going to build a city underground

steel urchin
#

what i don't understand is why no one is building new cities

hushed basalt
#

Because that would make prices go down in established areas

steel urchin
#

you can drive for hours on end in texas and not see any sight of civilization.... plenty of space to build a new optimized city for 2025

Shorting is best but this market man makes no sense.

steel urchin

i need to get better at that sorta thing... this scalping business is fun, but requires me to have extreme focus, and high levels of stress 😁

tidal bronze

rare condor
#

It works offline

I.e. Internet Outage

So am I an animal for using a spare USB 3.0 hub for my Zigbee/zwave stick and another 915 MHz radio?

#

I did it to free up a USB port on my server

last dirge
#

the Igloo ones are almost as expensive and the reviews are terrible

#

I used a USB3 hub in my car

#

so...

scenic radish
#

Kind of surprised the 915 MHz and 908.42 MHz haven't interfered with each other

#

To my knowledge

odd mason
#

what 3d printer do people recommend

forest edge
#

the kind that 3d prints

odd mason
#

it'll be my first 3d printer but i don't wanna do the game of buy an entry level one and then upgrade in a couple years. I'd rather buy a nicer one

clever mortar
#

Get one that prints metal 😛

hushed basalt
#

I don't know much about 3d printers

#

But I know resin is becoming more viable

#

Depends what you want to do with it

forest edge
#

I remember one being sold on ebay for dirt cheap that after you bought it and used it to 3d print upgrade parts for it, it turned out to be a really good 3d printer. but it's no longer being sold

odd mason
#

i've heard ender 3 is pretty good

#

but i have no idea

clever mortar
#

There's various Discords and forums dedicated to 3d printing... maybe worth asking on one of those?

ocean mirage
#

I have an ender 3

#

there are a lot of upgrades you can do incrementally with them, as with lots of printers

#

so I wouldn't worry about sunken cost and replacing it

#

unless you want a resin printer

forest edge
#

sheesh they are still like 500 bucks

#

I thought they might have come down in price by now

ocean mirage
#

what are?

forest edge
#

many of the 3d printers

ocean mirage
#

you can get pretty good stuff for less than that, both fdm and sla printers

odd mason
#

honestly when i saw the prices i thought it was super cheap

forest edge
#

open air erector set printers are iffy tho

odd mason
#

500 bucks isn't all that much considering how much we drop on HA hardware lol

hushed basalt
#

I don't have time to learn and use a 3d printer :'(

ocean mirage
#

the basics are... basic, but yeah good results take time

#

experimentation
