LOL
for anyone else who wonders how a 5.1/4 drive look like
Egawds, I remember those horrendously huge 15MB HDDs.
I had the Bigfoot many years ago @hearty depot
Great drive
I think I had 3 of them atleast
15 MB hard drive? So you fondly remember 1987 @undone aspen ? I just remember the 20MB we had in 1988 
I feel stupid. When you dont know what to make for dinner and thinks oh I got a pizza in the freezer, takes it out and find the box empty with a wtf look in your face
I'm not born in the 70s so I couldn't say
hah
My first desktop had 32mb disk space! That was a lot those days.
doublespace.exe ftw!
\s/stacker/slacker/g
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
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.
Which is it, amazon?
i rate this a perfect 5/3
they are 5 year but spend the first two in a warehouse before being sold
3 years if you want to store for emergencies or use immediately, 5 otherwise.
So continuous use for 5 years after "not immediately" using them. Thanks
I have amazon batteries, i think they suck
I'm searching for li ion battery
seem to go through the AAA one's too quick
heh. Amazon Basics rechargables made in China, suck.
@bright saffron I have Tenavolt AA Li-Ion recharables. Haven't used them yet, but soon.

i know my user creds for an admin account for HASS (running in docker) and can login to the webui. However, I'm trying to connect to the terminal, but am greeted with a login prompt ("hassio login: ") but can't login wiht those same creds.
#the-void
what's the _container channel for then?
the description gives a hint 😉
for HASS (running in docker) ?
am greeted with a login prompt ("hassio login: ")
that indicates home assistant OS
Why is finding a good li ion battery so hard here -_-
people often specify that they're running home assistant OS/supervised "in docker" but neither of those installs works without docker
I gotta wait till they bring back the #hassio channel before I can ask for help since my url clearly states hassio
legacy
Where's. "here?"
Not there
@forest edge don't make us ban you to #the-void
@scenic radish I hear you can use any emoji there

hi
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?"
So... not going to see Google Nest stuff working in HA right? Like my Nest Hello, Thermostat and 7 Smoke Alarms?
heh
While it might answer, it won't allow strangers to do that. 😉
But, hmmmm...
Blasted Ubiquity! They sell you a Cloud Key, but provide no means to power it. LOL
Just got my Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, and ..... I have no USB-C. I might could find a PoE injector somewhere, but... Sheash..
Injectors, what are we? Savages?
grabs all the needles and races to || @clear ferry || with them and || does absolutely nothing but stare at him funny. ||

So, now I have... to wait... for ... power. :/
@clear ferry are you using auto discovery or manual for zigbee2mqtt?
@tidal bronze auto
Any electricians in the house?
Also, where you are in the world rather matters 😉
Ahh, good point. Figured my name would give it away, but I’m in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado
So, USA electrical code 😛
You should just ask your question, and see if anybody feels like answering
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.
Sounds like time to call in an electrician...
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?
how long will the pi's approx run with a 100wh battery?
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 😉
okey so if it uses 10w it will run 10 hours?
Plug the figures in yourself and see
@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
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!
@wet pilot arc fault
Better to replace problematic GFs until you find a good one that lasts long!
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
GFCI 😉
But were they mandatory?
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.
I think we had them since the 40/50s, but not mandatory
all outdoor and wet rooms need to have GFCI

1947 introduced the modern style of plug, but the older ones were still around even in the 90's
current code calls for auto-testing gfci
That's one of those things that will make an insurance claim invalid if you didn't have them
As long as you install it properly, they wouldn’t know the difference!
yup
In Ohio, army national guards are deployed. We got a bunch of humvees placed in each corner of all over downtown now. Looks like curfew will be extended again.
Fun times we live in
Yup! Crazy! Just one after another!
yea its getting closer to where we live now
(In NZ) We are almost covid free and then they allowed a 4000 person protest that goes against everything we have been doing for the last 2 months.
People lost businesses/jobs/houses to maintain the rules but this is ok and no one is getting charged for it.
@unreal orbit nein, only oppressed free health care here, sorry
Haha We are all in the wrong country 😛
Ah damn. Yeah I'll keep my right to die from preventable diseases
NZ used covid to give the police the right to walk into your house without a warrant. Can pretty much do anything they like. Oh and also implemented a law to allow a firewall to be put up around nz to monitor all traffic
Gotta love the VPN speeds NZ will get 😦
Just be like Homer and get taken off the map.
NZ getting more auth too then
Aussie police literally told people to dob in their mates
Like okay there gestapo
Oh, politics
stay safe tonight everyone!
Remember to film if you have to interact with the pigs
This server is repulsive with so many "light" users of the force. Where are the sith?
TheEmpireDidNothingWrong
But. Adam Driver... Step on my throat, Adam Driver, you rudely large man!
Pretty good
yeah looks fine
Would've looked cleaner if D was held straight by a pair of tweezers 🙂
I wont show you my buck convert solders m8 lol
Looks like someone shit in their cereal
Had some helping hands and a magnifying glass in a small space on the kitchen table, gotta fix that, and my fan to suck up the smoke needs something to sit on, and I can't wait for the solder spool holder to get here, other than that, not too difficult lol
@queen oracle I used to think as long as it works who cares, but then when you do it you think, I can clean that up a little lol
lol
Every time during a part of the game where the NPCs are in dialogue with you but it's not a cutscene I run and jump around everywhere including seeing how many times I can bounce on an NPC's head. One of these times I just want one of them to say "ok, what the fuck are you doing dude"
Hahah yep
You have no idea how badly I want that to happen lol
does anyone have a fool proof way to backup a raspi SD card from windows, and the restore it to a different smaller SD card. None of the methods online work.
Heck yeah! SmartThings Integration going bye bye. Replaced by SmartThings-MQTT-Bridge. 😉
until I get my GoControl Z-Stick, which... Is going to use zwave2mqtt
But, still.. Just migrating to mqtt from a direct integration, is a bonus.
I’m fighting with my GoControl z-stick. I have been bearing my head against it for 3 days now
Oh? heh
I'm fighting with my shipper, trying to get him to ship me the dang product, since USPS seems to have lost it in their origin.
Yeah, zig bee is working fine on it. It’s the Zwave part that I’m fighting
Fun. That's primarily what I have, Z-Wave.
That sucks. I been waiting for almost a month on delivery of some metripak connectors
Either waym, until that comes in, I have a viable means, apparently, to remove smartthings integration from my dependancies in HASS now. 😄
Yeah, I got the GoControl because everyone online talks about how good the zwave hardware is
Perhaps. I'll soon find out. I plan to use zwave2mqtt and zigbee2mqtt.
Not use tying that in to HASS directly and rebooting causnig the whole zwave network to reset every time.
You on an rpi?
Oh heck no.
Hehe, me either
I had HASS on an RPI4, still slow as molasses.
I moved it to a laptop. and have an Intel NUC coming in next week to move it there.
Kinda a good thing I'm moving some integrations over to mqtt, a bit more... portable.
Welp, my bed time. 🙂
I just built a quad core i7 to run blue iris, plex, and HASS
Night amigo. Hope your shipper figures it out
Running HASS in VM on VirtualBox. Typical install
On a Win10 pc
Plex and Blue Iris are just installed as windows apps
I'm actually doing public transportation for the first time.... In atleast 2 years
It annoys me that memcached and redis are always taught "together" in all these aws courses
I should probably look at tuning the redis and memcached of my nextcloud
I know it can get better
It uses both?
Man these aws exams are full of a lot of trivia bullshit
"when the status colour of a ecs application is greyed out what does it mean"
That someone screwed up the CSS

That the viewer is colour blind?
Having worked with a number of colour blind folks over the years, from "simple" red/green to just seeing the world in "grey", it never ceases to amaze me how many things are handled purely with colour...
Only place I need highlights of difference is watch and that has it built in
Yes/No/Maybe
There's no simple answer to that, since it depends entirely on your requirements/skills/etc
#cameras-archived would be a good place to explain your requirements, budget, etc and ask for suggestions
Enterprise == costly, always 😛
They also buy storage for $1m for that CCTV software
Probably because it has to comply with legal stuff, etc etc
Man aws really loves elasticbeanstalk
It's such a huge component of the exams so I have to learn it 🤢 🤢
"Sit next to me"?
they have not been in Norway before 🙄
Why is it in english
That train only run to and from the airport, it's more likely to reach more folks traveling there in english vs norwegian
Ah okay
Teddy bears exempt from social distancing? They must be absolutely crawling with various viri. I have kids, and would not want to get close to a toy that's handled the same way by someone elses kids.
My daughter thinks holding a comforter isn't worth using a hand for
So she'll carry it around in her mouth
Here’s what 3.5 years of service does to you.
My daughter hasn't had a comforter yet
She has a doll, but that is very recent, only got interest from it 3 weeks ago
We have two identical comforters
We had two identical ones, but made the mistake of not swapping them regularly enough. It took only a month or two before he could tell them apart
Technically I guess I'm her comforter, since I was so much home when she was a baby 
That explains the slightly soggy, gently chewed, look 🤔
LOW FIRE RISK
has australia stopped burning yet btw ?
it all got overshadowed by everything else that is pissing off the planet
I think its winter there
So, only on fire some of the time?
Yeah. It stopped burning there long enough that they've started playing rugby league again last weekend. 🏉
Wasn't it beta release day?
tomorrow
Every day is beta day when you live life on the dev
you mean latest-dev
Redeploying after every commit?
Continuous integration right?
Bonamassa 
😠
He is borderline autistic at guitar, but damn can the boy play
you just listen to honkey tonk country
together with @forest edge
real gif of @forest edge
I'm watching s3 of Narcos
Man this is such a good show
This is what a good show is. I'm looking at you Star Trek Picard
I thought Picard good for what it was
It's not TNG, but we have The Orville for that
Atleast it wasn't erotic fan fiction
Plot would have been more forgivable if it was
DS9 is superior to TNG anyways
Very dated but better overall
DS9 was... meh
TNG -> VOY -> DIS -> ENT -> PIC -> DS9 -> TOS -> TAS imo
TOS movies are great, the show was.. not for me
I don't know if I like or hate the Tom Hardy Star Trek movie
@clear ferry how can I get to do cool stuff 😄
mods say git gud
I'm good at stuff but an expert in none
Don't stop learning
Hello all ! I'm glad to join you all, the users of Home Assistant ! I'm a software engineer by formation, using Home Assistant for one year now and looking for always learning a bit more.
I am a jackass of all trades, master of none
I work with probably 50+ different products
15 or so of I'm the only one in country
I'm not an "expert" in any particular thing, but I know a wider range of things than most folks I've worked with, and that really helps
My next project is to 3d print a linear servo actuator to control my plantation shutters because there's a million of them and opening/closing them manually each day/night pisses me off 😄
@clear ferry what country do you live in? Tasmania? 😄
The only drugs I touch are fresh out of antistatic Unix systemboards
they smell the best
because they have been in stock warehouses for 10+ years
RIPE

lollll
lol - are these 5 bigass cpu coolers?
ultra320 scsi lol
far out look at the weight
that is ridiculous
20amp draw 😢
the heaviest thing I've seen/carried was a Sun M4000
only 4 CPUs @hearty depot and a cell controller
because you have 4 cells in each system
cell? that thing out of the PS3?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(microprocessor)
Cell is a multi-core microprocessor microarchitecture that combines a general-purpose PowerPC core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated comp...
nah, 4 cellboards with 4 CPUs each in a chassis
that interconnect, and you can partition either soft or hard
the CPUs are PA-RISC, the RX replaced it with Itanium though
same same, different
The m4000 is a baby @lapis ember
you should take a look at the Superdome 9000
192 PCI-X slots, with up to 4 ports on each card
I think I calulated the boot time to 23.5 hours if you had all cards 4 port
never happens, but hey, it can be done
that's unreal!
aperently not 😛
The biggest I work on these days is the Superdome Flex, 896 Cores and 64TB RAM + 16 GPU cards
or, they might have upped the core count with Cascade lake
on the Superdome 9000 and Integrity you could have floating cells, where they were only "halfway" inteconnected in the system, so you could remove a cell and replace memory and CPU as needed
all PCI-X slots were hot swappable
you could set it up mostly as you wanted redundancy wise
Fee fi fo fum what norwegian is spewing gum
everyone's telling me to specialise in one product but I don't feel like I want to do that, but 'there's no money in not being a specialist' 😦
specializing is good, if you are REALLY GOOD
like, on the spectrum good
other than that, generalists \ multi product people are far more popular in my experience
good, get me a better job than this shitkicker cleanup one i have now 😄
I agree, that's what got me to leave IT to begin with
I resigned, started a new job and new career in the events industry, and then corona struck 😢
Got an general question on the HA app.. Why does it keep saying unable to connect to HA after its inactive for a while. While I can just login to ha via browser with no issue.
old job called me up, and i'm back there now until things settle down, then back to events
sounds like #ios_and_mac-archived or #android-archived @spare canopy
@spare canopy doesn't sound normal - my Android app always reconnects fine, except if it has an issue getting on the internet/network
Only way for me to fix the app is connect nasbacas again
android or ios?
have you tried deleting app data and cache and starting over?
probably NAT-reflection issues, but #android-archived is the place to ask @spare canopy not #the-water-cooler
I work alone 70% of the time atleast
@clear ferry I thought you were never alone. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a2/20/31/a22031bbde9a021c12061cfe0f6b93d3.jpg
pssh was 84f here yesterday and suppose to get to 90 today
Yup, supposed to be 90+ today
.f2c 90
90 degrees fahrenheit = 32.22 degrees celsius!
Ideal
That’s like 20 or so?
60 degrees fahrenheit = 15.56 degrees celsius!
I'm warm all the time
We get temps ranging from below -20C to above 30C throughout the year
Hope we get thunderstorms soon
@clear ferry I think i can get used to zigbee2mqtt 👍 😀
It's nice
Although all zigbee sticks hate USB3 ports lol
Which coordinator are you using?
Got something on ebay pre flashed.
Wanted to test Vs conbee
I know @tidal bronze would love it
Trying with 2 sensors for now will port over all conbee stuff in a few weeks.
I have close to 90 devices in mine now
I think i have only 30 or 40 zigbee stuff most of mine are on zw
Didn't know xiaomi sensors are waterproof lol
Anyways @clear ferry thanks for the recommendation, zigbee2mqtt is lightning fast. 👍
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 😛
lol
Are they IP rated? Can't find anything
@tidal bronze if you think that one is fast, the cc1352 was 10 X faster
Copy. If in few weeks test renders good will get that and a repeater as well
Great drum track @scenic radish https://open.spotify.com/track/7CeF4VXPoaUbNB3NNHIXfM?si=Ds36R_j4S-Wxqd5TSt1erg
@scenic radish no they are not but mounted with reset hole facing down. BTW weatherproof by Cali standards LOL
My Xiaomi sensor and button has been outside in Norwegian weather and winter for 9 months
Mine doesn't survive the fridge
Weatherproof where it never rains 🤣
getting ready to go through an ISO audit at work and people are wigging out
my xiaomi button has survived two winters outside with the lowest temperatures somewhere around -30 celcius
on the same battery as well unless I'm mistaken
F. Cheap sensors incoming https://www.cnx-software.com/2020/06/02/sonoff-snzb-zigbee-sensors-and-switches/amp/
Heh.
nice, the more options the better
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.
Heh, oh?
But exceptionalism is strong
I mean, I've always thought it odd to have air vents.... on the ceiling. Because, hot air rises.
That's muuuuurica for you, strange ideas 
lol
It would depend on if you're heating or cooling
Or both.
Not at the same time I hope
If you're doing both then floor vents don't make much sense
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
That's how my house is (well the intake is not "in" the floor, but on floor level)
Yeah, my intakes are on the wall by the foor. The outputs are all on the ceiling.
I've been to 18 countries last I checked, only USA has systems like that in more than <1% of the houses
I know they exist in a single town in Norway, because some American built a factory for them there
Pfff I'm sweating like a stuffed pig on mobile keyboard,don't kill me

27 degrees and no Aircon in the bus

Picking up my car from the MOT in five minutes hopefully
27 is jacket weather to me
It's probably 35 in the bus though, or more
That is too hot then 🙁
@clear ferry never fails to surprise with the emojis lol


hello :)
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 🤷♂️
I'd personally be checking upstream at my ISP first
i would love to know it, but tech support isn't tech ...
If 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 were unreliable then much of the world would be having dns problems
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
I have pinged a Norwegian website for 4 months because I forgot a ping once 
Very good results!
may i have that website ? :P
I've never heard of google dns flagging people. How often are you trying to ping?
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.
Google Groups allows you to create and participate in online forums and email-based groups with a rich experience for community conversations.
i've also try akamai, but there ip roll from time to time
Have a bunch of iP addresses and rotate them
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 :)
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
i'll have to rent a server only for ping request ... possible but not sure if it will be better 🤔
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
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
floor/ceiling vents were mainly done in conversion homes. it was the only "easy" to add central air to a house that didn't havve it prior (for that convo above)
@fiery sorrel I have pinged www.sol.no for 20 years, for weeks and months
Hi all!
Can one of you point me toward a solution/announcement about the 4.8 OS upgrade fiasco?
Thank you. I'll poke around in there
hey guys should someone need help as to where to start developing an integration for HA but he was wondering about stuff regarding the integration itself and not how to program it in HA (which can be found in the developers documentation) where or who could he ask in order to get started ?
Any integration dev questions can be asked in #devs_core-archived or #developers
Ugh...
I was told Friday. They'd ship Monday. Monday came and passed, nothing. Now, I ask "what's up?", "Unfortunately we were not able to ship yesterday, our shipping system and network was down most of the day. It's shipping out today...", Still no tracking number to confirm that. For my GoControl Z-Stick.,
I'm about close to the point of cancelling this. :/
4.8 OS upgrade fiasco?
tilts his head.
Depending on where it's shipping from they might have some logistics issues right now with the protests
Doesn't capitalism prevail all times @unreal orbit ?
Not if someone lights it on fire
@clear ferry yes it does but might slow down when heated
Just got my daily curfew emergency alert for my county 👍
heh. Hmmm. Yeah. They are in Miami.
@dull chasm reverse Kelvin you say
@unreal orbit yup 4th in a row and i dont expect it to stop
I'm just glad they're at least doing it more than an hour before the curfew goes into effect
yea early announcement
I got 2 on my way home yesterday. With conflicting start times 🤦
lol are you in socal?
Yup, LA county
So, yeah. Wow. Hopefully those guys in Miami selling GoControl products are all good.
Maybe after the race riots and pandemics are over we can get some in n out 😄
yea lol
I'm in Pomona
@tidal bronze we got another socal res up in here!
@unreal orbit i kinda question this **in n out ** ? sounds well i dunno
In N Out burger? if you haven't had a chance to try it then you're missing out
you should clarify then because a mind can wonder without context
haha
i know yall are more liberal 🤣
go for exis or proxmox? What you're thinking. I'm not educated enough to set up Openstack with open vswitch yet
proxmox 🤢
Huh, weird. "atxbyea" is showing up as "Ludeeus" for some reason
I not yet tryed it
I don’t use Proxmox, but why not! 🤢
🤢 just to help in the cause
I'm in Pomona
@unreal orbit NY?
Ha, yeah I don't think "beautiful" is a term to describe Pomona, CA
but it sure is a place
lmao
but we do get to host the LA county fair 🎉
was there protesting last night?
yup 200 peopel arrested out here
not sure but don't think we had any here
not as bad as saturday night
and they really started getting on looters finally
multiple high speed chases lol
lol
was nuts watch santa monica during 2pm and all the looters breaking into shit lol
normal shop owners and civilians with shotguns protecting their stores on the streets
yea the looters are staying ahead of the protestors
they are pretty well organized hwich is sad nd crazy
1 person keeping the car running
people running in and out of stores multiple times filling up the cars
then loading up and leaving
and going from spot to spot to spot
I can't imagine being in a situation in which I thought that was an okay thing to do
yea its a really sad thing to see
@dull chasm reminds me of a clockwork orange with some of the old in and out
I would like to use my Pi 4 to run both Home Assistant & a Plex Server. Any reason I should not do that? Any reason hassio in a docker on a Pi running Rasbian is a bad idea? I’m new to the docker world, and not a computer science guy, just a nerd.
.crosspost @winged bear
@winged bear Please DO NOT cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond.
You know norwegian ISPs are a bit more liberal than other countries when they advertise with we stay with you,we brought you from Napster to Spotify and still support you
hello,i need a little help,i configured in configuration.yaml the get the cpu temp from raspberry pi-now i want to show it as gauge..how i do that?

Any of you guys/girls ever deal with this store?
https://www.smarthomegadgets.shop
They look like resellers
Terrible. I received a defective product. They first said I had to pay for return shipping. I pasted their return policy in an e-mail that says differently and they don’t respond. Phone just a recording telling you to go to their site. Terrible terrible terrible
Lol
Threaten them that you will give negative reviews on every home automation site there is including all social media sites and recommend not to purchase from them.
Like when you get www.supervacuumspares.com up while googling for spares

Yeah, that store I'm definitely not going to buy from
🤢 🤢 🤢
Is that a pi cluster lol
atx shopping at www.supersuck.com?

@winged bear I would not advise this. although the RPI4 can handle either by itself.
if you were going to try it I would make sure to be using the 64 bit flavor
Depending on the amount of media, Plex may kill RPi
i wouldn't run plex on a pi
the fact my daughter is watching paw patrol of my plex server determined that was a lie :p

@last plaza rpi3b+ has been reviewed to handle up to 3-4 transcode at a time. the rpi4 could atleast do that lol
🤢
So, every hour or so, I am just going to post this
https://www.smarthomegadgets.shop/ sucks hairy sweaty balls
Where at lol
@green inlet do you need help with that? @velvet horizon can automate that and post in every channel every 5 minutes until all 30K+ users get the message 😂
Also, post that in the community site!
And I thought my every hour or so was excessive
And send that link to the customer service guys and see what their response is
I'm not going to say that, skala.
Homeseer is replacing the switch so I am good.....just a little peeved right now.
I’m your master, @velvet horizon
We should ping all the devs too
❌
I will run kill -9 command on you 😛
😭
lol
Uhh...bot self-aware skala?
You haven’t watched WestWorld? I gave cognitive consciousness to the bot
Put it out of its misery...its purpose is solely to yell at people for posting codewalls
Bot has feelings now, it can take a revenge if it doesn’t like you! 🤓
all i remember of WW was the bots who put out.. is that we're talking about in terms of cognitive consciousness?
Yep
"What is my purpose?"
"You move codewalls"

You have issues
Also, TIL you can hide an entire gif
it use to hide it completely and only opened when someone clicked the blackout, but now it shows the spoiler blur crap
I see this on mobile
yea it didn't use to show the gif blured, all you would see was the text part blacked out then when you clicked it the gif/video would pop down
guess they did away with that cause people were being fooled or something, no idea

hi folks, working on migrating an install from disk image to docker install
Check the channel topics. More than likely one of the homeassistant channels
Anyone here good at finding data online aka better at Google than me?
Are there levels of google ability? Not sure I know your level? How do I know if I am better or worse? Is this just a cheeky way or getting my attention 😳
Hah. I'm trying to decide where to live based on a number of factors. School district rating, median home price, real estate tax rate, etc
I can look up each factor individually, though I assumed there would be at least some of the data aggregated online anyway
In Excel, csv, etc
Oh, I thought you were going to trust me with where to live.....or better yet, @clear ferry
Hah
No, I just want the data. I'm an analyst so I'm planning to nerd out on it a bit.
Just hoped to spend more time analyzing and less collecting
I know a real estate agent REALLY well 😉
Oh maybe MLS has some of it
@chilly nymph all those variables are constantly changing. while some may not be drastic over short periods of time the fact of the matter they all can be what you don't want in the matter of a few decades
with that said, yes certianly do your homework etc
but don't think crunching numbers will somehow make it paradise forevver lol
@forest edge yep. But I need a buy a house now. And the price I pay now is the deciding factor of my mortgage price now hah
Plus my kids are already in school.
are you US or other?
I fell asleep listening to enigma.
Lmao
US. Sold my last house because of the school district. Planned on living in this temporary location for 2 years but... We are pregnant again. Surprise! So need to buy a place again
look up cost of living. coast lines are always going to be higher
Aren’t they like an 80s band?
Ah yes, still need to stay in the Boston area. So cost of living still suck regardless.
Yes. German band.
Trying to keep the price below $800k
Still@have the original CD 😊
@chilly nymph , if you want a referral for a real estate agent in Boston I can get you one
@green inlet thanks! I think I'm all set on that part for now
well, that’s what you pay your real estate agent to do. They make a lot of money. Ask them to gather the data for you.
Send your real estate agent an email with an executable attachment. Tell him he just won a million dollars, and open the attachment to claim the money. You can then control his PC and access data directly.
if you are stuck in the Boston area then you don't have much ground to covver lol
Why Boston? I’d pick much warmer area.
So I can do it. Just thought Zillow or something would have a lot of the data out there.
@last plaza wife's family is all here
It is all public data, but very unstructured
Zillow sucks. Redfin.
@last plaza the public part I know. I was hoping for more structure lol
www.greatschools.com. Tax info will prob be on the county and local website
Zillow sucks. Redfin.
@green inlet all the backend data is same - whether Redfin or Zillow.
I may have to wash her car but I am trying to get you something
This is a bad time to buy homes. Not many on sale in the market. Especially here. If you wait a bit longer, you will find a lot of foreclosures
That’s truly where I would start. That is their job. my_agent said they prob can’t give school info out but you already have that.
@last plaza we will see. Boston actually has a very strong employment market and people at the moment are largely actually making more on unemployment than when they were working, so...
home school, problem solved.
@rain swift not much of a choice
woot woot
800k may not get you the house you think in Boston @rain swift
yeah, take that 800k and go to the midwest.
I came from there
I lived in Wisconsin and before that, Texas
Nah. I'm in a suburb. Median home price here though is $1,000,000. Pretty sure that is a condo too.
Yeah...I won't be buying here. Just had an opportunity to have a temporary living space due to family owning a multi family.
Un-related question, how are you guys with the TS-100 grounding it?
But it's a small space for my 4 person family. Tinnnny once we are 5
@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.
Anyone using roborock?
🖐🏻
Have you tested pause/resume from app segment clean?
I haven’t. You mean like it is doing a room cleaning and you want to pause it from the app?
Pause and resume from service call
No, not even sure I knew that existed. I have paused from the machine and the app without issue.
Should be same thing yes.
Yep app works but not through HA 🙄
Resume starts a new cleaning session. Lol
Want pause on phone calls
Auh, ok....I thought you meant like it blowing out the maps or something
@tidal bronze , do you use vacuum commands or the xiami_miio commands. I just noticed the xiaomi commands
Vac commands
That sucks
Are the xiaomi commands new?
Need to look into it.
Don’t remember seeing them before.
I use vacuum commands also
@scenic radish , so does https://www.smarthomegadgets.shop/
@shy comet thanks for tivimate recommendation, 4 stream pip never looked this good. 👍
ok so dumb question, which homeassistant channel should I be using for a QEMU docker install of homeassistant (hass.io)? should it be supervised?
HassOS == #330990055533576204
It's...an OS
HassOS is the image install
Designed to run docker and home assistant core
#330944238910963714 is for supervised installs on an OS other than HassOS
ok, thanks just wanted to know which channels to mute and which to follow. this whole renaming buisness was confusing
It kinda sucks - I’m still waiting for the package that I ordered more than 2 months ago. It is sitting in NY international processing center for 6+ weeks now. NY is having problems one after another.
Australia's had great postage which is the inverse
We're the ones that historically had slow expensive postage and limited access
Now I'm getting amazon prime packages overnight from across the country
@tidal bronze i have the same results with resume starting a new session
@steel urchin yep kinda bummed out about it.
I agree, zillow is all over the place
@green inlet @chilly nymph lol my realtor did all this work, built multiple social media campaigns, and came back to me with a price..... i said "no... i want X" ... he said "well i don't think you'll get that, and if it sits for too long then it'll look bad"... and i straight up told him "I don't care, i want this much money"... and our house sold within 1 hour (technically... we got the offer on the first hour of it on the market and went under contract , after 2 weeks they bid it up a bit, and we closed with the folks that offered in the first hour
Realtors are the worst
They'd rather get 10 commissions on a lower price than 5 commisions on a better price. plus all their profit margin/kickbacks on marketing etc
Volume volume volume
@steel urchin so you got only 2 offers?
lol no, we got about 30
So only the 1st person offered a decent price ? 😀
well in typical bidding negotiations you kinda hit a price point you want to hit... anything more is icing on the cake... they gave me another tier of cake 😋
"man, the drum on this printer is leaving some horribly smeary crap, I know, I'll clean it"
"hey, now I gotta buy a new printer"
@hushed basalt exactly man... and in my local market, it's insane how they just treat it like a meat grinder
Strange, 30 offeres, 2 weeks and 1st offer wins. 👍 But good for you if you got icing.
RIP printer, 14 years and thousands of pages later
It's always the best time to buy/sell if you ask a realtor
lol that's not what i said, twice
Ctrl+ P in the chat
Get in now before prices go back up
Yep.
Sell now before prices drop
they haven't gone down yet
my new house has gone up 100k in the last 3 months, i already have offers on it
and with tesla moving in 10mi away i'm expecting it to double soon
if I ever strike it rich, I wanna get an old missile silo
what i don't understand is why no one is building new cities
Because that would make prices go down in established areas
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
And politician's and their donors all have a lot of skin in the game
Tesla what a ride. 318 to 800+
❤️ tsla
Sold already.
Everyone is rich and fat on the property industrial complex
Market is awesome
I tried to catch Ford on the upswing
it can be if you're lucky and do things right
missed my order by a few cents
i'm watching people in my trading discords losing 10s of thousands
United and Carnival. Party time.
yeah i'm looking at setting up some swing trades for stuff like that
those two are the most likely to go belly up
Thats perfect
they'll swell up and then tank
if you're shorting with leverage
Hey you can swing both ways 😜
i love shorting
Shorting is best but this market man makes no sense.
lol that's what i'm sayin man
i've had some awesome scalps, and some really bad scalps
i bought a ton of GE just before everything started locking down thinking their masks would help.. it took a bit but finally aviation pulled me back into black
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Did you get in on Netflix?
i hate seeing a chart and the scale is 5 cents and it looks like i made a trillion dollars 🤣
i ditched RH for ToS
I'm tempted to go long on SBUX
Nvidia did good today.
i took this week off from the market... i had a bad week before
I can't pay enough attention to short term invest
i can't pay enough attention to long term invest 🤣
I do only 2 weeks a month.
I'm pretty sure two of my 401k chunks went in at the really low point
most i hold a stock anymore is 60 seconds
I do few hours.
well, i'm about to switch to a different strategy to do swing trades
man that takes skill
the hours scare the bajesus out of me
I watch for a week play a week 😀
Pulling most of it out end of this week
Gotta lay low for sometime.
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 😁
I used to be stressed but not anymore. I know the feeling. Takes all the fun out.
the wins are mega hype, and the losses are mega flop
My aliexpress curtain controller arrived: looks like uses Tuya, going to see if I can hack it to run Tasmota and control my curtains: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FpkHfHDzUjRiqfRw9
err what do you mean commercial prop @tidal bronze ?
Still waiting for my USB cellular modem from AliExpress so I can send SMS from my server lol
It works offline
I.e. Internet Outage
Can send SMS hey: your ISP sucks or you suck build less sh*t software
(in event of outage)
I use them a lot for SCADA
My cell plan includes a """"free"""" third line
When a Pump fails (we use Dual Sim Modems to notify operators that a sewer pump is about to overfill)
i've never had internet down for more than 3 hours.... personally i don't need that type of uptime to matter
So my spare sim card is currently unused
So my ISP won't offer me Gigabit 😦
oh yeah that's different scenario
Its available in my Area
The cellular modem was $13 on aliexpress, I couldn't resist
i don't refute the necessity one bit
But NBN says I'm too close to the Exchange
Apparently I need to be atleast 50 meters away
lol
why do coolers cost so damn much?
lol
lol
literally the only way i afforded my shit was getting yeti as a client
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
the Igloo ones are almost as expensive and the reviews are terrible
I used a USB3 hub in my car
so...
Kind of surprised the 915 MHz and 908.42 MHz haven't interfered with each other
To my knowledge
@steel urchin preschool with property.
The cooler cooler looked cool for a bit until they bombed
Like you're buying a preschool? I'm confused @tidal bronze
Lok yep. 2nd one.
what 3d printer do people recommend
the kind that 3d prints
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
Get one that prints metal 😛
I don't know much about 3d printers
But I know resin is becoming more viable
Depends what you want to do with it
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
There's various Discords and forums dedicated to 3d printing... maybe worth asking on one of those?
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
sheesh they are still like 500 bucks
I thought they might have come down in price by now
what are?
many of the 3d printers
you can get pretty good stuff for less than that, both fdm and sla printers
honestly when i saw the prices i thought it was super cheap
open air erector set printers are iffy tho
500 bucks isn't all that much considering how much we drop on HA hardware lol
I don't have time to learn and use a 3d printer :'(
@hushed basalt sure you do, just stop coming on discord about half the time and you could even become a doctor
You first ;)
too old to cure people
Become a research scientist and cure old age
those people don't get paid squat lol
That's a double negative
they on a boat to norway
hit 90f here today, I bet many of them wore themselves out after just a few hours lol
gotta stay hydrated
Elastic beanstalk is the worst
Hmm. Do I buy a house with smaller land but fibre internet
Or bigger land but copper internet
For the same price
houses about the same size?
Yeah
Whats the difference in land size
Really backyard vs no backyard
oof tough one
Say 450 - 550/600
depends what you do with your yards
