Why canβt people accept freedom units and move on? π
nope they can have metric we can have our .....they just need to be happy
lol freedom units
Fractions are perfectly fine - every one loves it.
Inch was standardised to 25.4mm in the 30s
"everyone loves it"
Everyone: ...
oh yea when needed a specific drill bit and your messing with the /64's it's stimulating for the mind
This is the first video in a series of recreating the first micrometer. Before I introduce the project, I look into where precision comes from.

One clip was too expensive to license, but you can view it on my website.
This is worth watching
go fly a kite is a very acceptable measurement answer
"homelabbers" who colocate their gear are weird af
I think if you're renting Units in a DC to host your homelab you might have an addiction
lol 80% of American's feel America is out of control
don't think i've seen that high percentage of any poll the news of done on anything before
actually I don't recall au being on the list of countries protesting lol
Guys, am I allowed to flag posts about "i CaNt FiNd ThE aPp iN aPpStOrE" posts in the forum or is there a better way?
Or should I just link every other post with the exact same question?
I would just link to an answer
π
@hushed basalt at that point it's no longer a home lab. Lol
hello! can someone direct me to the channel that is best of nabu casa support?
this cracks me up too
Imagine thinking GDP is in any way related to our measurement system
I h8 our units of measurement but doubt I'll be able to move away from them
just make it a two year protest movement
WHAT DO WE WANT
METRICS
WHEN DO WE WANT IT
CENTIMETERS ? 
@dull chasm china is past the US pretty soon anyway π€£
Probably 2020
most likely 
Problem is, we donβt know who to slap to change the unit system in America. I am sure it will be a YUGE impact!
they tried it for distances a while ago
Bigly impact. The impact will be so big, bigger than the biggest one.
they tried it for distances a while ago
@wet pilot how far did they go? Get it? Far and distance? π

heh
lol i come back and the written/vocal form of describing one's peepee's size is still on topic?
It's so much easier in meters than in feet 
inches! feet! or in atx's case millimeters!
It would be like Japanese yen. How much is a cup of coffee? Two million yens.
that would drive me nuts
sorry, not enough room on my check for all the zero's to pay for this snickers bar
lol
aren't yen like 10:1 with USD?
Yen isn't too bad, it's only 10x NOK, same as USD, worse with turkish lire, I think I paid 2 million for a pack of gum
oh it might be 100x NOK
what you get when your first penny was made out of beachwood i guess
Do their numbers start at million instead of 1?
oh the turkish lira has stabilized, it is only 1.36NOK now
Iranian Rial appears to be the lowest valued currency now
Everything is million and above. They might as well start their numbers at million. Like decimal, it would be millinum
1 RIAL == 0.00022 NOK π€£
Venezuela
Oh boy, Venezuela is a different story with bolivars.
yup. hyper-inflation is a bitch
Socialist country.
nah, just over-reliance on oil
have you got your socialist money from the US government yet btw ?
what's the RIAL to BTC conversion rate?
I have not gotten my socialism check
I make too much
booo π
my wife did get the socialism check though
It is time to distribute your money equally with people who donβt work @last dirge
what is the limit ?
I don't make that much
we file jointly and even though i'm over, my wife was enough under that we got the full thing
I think the limit is $190k
we have to file separate due to her stupid student loans
@last plaza then I definitely should've gotten a check
do you have to ask for it or does it just show up?
You will get a check even if you make above $190k - if you have kids.
no kids
It should show up.
only dogs
if you didn't tie your bank account to the irs account then you will wait quite awhile
my wife got a paper check
i think the threshold is a lot lower for single filers
like 75k or so for it to start reducing
Those who did e-file with automatic bank deposits, the money should have deposited in their accounts.
But I thought you were all getting paper checks, because Trumpf demanded to have his name on them
you could have also filled out a form on the IRS site and they'd direct deposit
nah, just sent an incoherent letter
crayon and animal stickers
Mein Drumpf
He sent letters with his signature on it.
Big PPP money brian ?
There you go!
I gotta remember to figure out how to apply to have that forgiven

jump server?
the old one was a machine I have migrated around for 15 years
bastion host?
Why dedicate a server for jump server. You can use a low power device like RPi.
it's a VM π€£
It hasn't been physical since... 2009
but power is so cheap here I wouldn't care much anyway π€£

@clear ferry you know there are places where power is limited in the world and here you just squander it like it's nothing
yes, you know, third world countries like the US π
one day you will lose your power and no one will feel pity for you
I did have a power outage in 2010 that lasted 2 days π€
I bet you were lost and terrified
Nah, it was winter though, so had to use the fireplace
Still had 4G and tablets, so watched TV for two days
fireplace? i thought you all came out with sasquatch fur to not need any heat source lol
Watched TV with firewood?

Funny scene from ''The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug''

Java?
Angular
eh, compatibility is mostly fine since 8
they completely changed how Angular's forms work in version 4 though
The npm build fail errors are not very helpful.
now I'm trying to troubleshoot my automation that's not working

nothing in angular
heh angular 1.7->1.9 had a lot of changes, and then 2.0 was a complete rewrite from the ground up
hmmm... got a new router, but for some reason port forwarding does NOT seem to want to work, and it's pissing me off
feeling daring... trying out the latest home assistant dev build now

shocks cream?
sounds tasty
Sounds zappy

@steel urchin I wrote all of my angular 1.x stuff in directives so it was more like 2+
but the change from template based forms to reactive forms was WAY out of my comfort zone
and it took me a while for it to click
well that's not only inefficient, but not really the point of angular's architecture changes
what?
I wrote my stuff to behave like components in angular 2+, encapsulated directives with isolated scopes
the problem I was having with 9 was that when I nested forms the status wasn't passed to the parent
had to learn how to properly do that in reactive forms so it was reported properly
heh sometimes it feels that way
A frequent refrain from a co-worker of mine
"if you know a parenthesis is missing, why don't you just put one there!" to pl/sql developer
because it wants you to feel stupid
heheh
Even better, the syntax of brocade FOS is very straightforward, however if your write alicreate aliname,wwn1;wwn2;wwn3 it will refuse to do it and spit back did you mean alicreate "aliname","wwn1;wwn2;wwn3" and my face will go like this

Fantastic
@steel urchin did you play today ?
play what?
today i was scratching my head wondering why my new router was acting like shit, and it turned out a firmware update flashed to the modem about 30min before i started tinkering with everything, and the solution was to factory reset the modem and then re-configure (which is mostly just disabling every single feature)
Oh lol. Market was great.
yeah.... FOMO for sure
nice
CCL 86% π
yeah, i have been bogged down by other crap i've been needing to do and research :S
Wooo... Got my Nortek GoControl Z-Sticks today. π
Taking a 2 week break after today.
Oooh... cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 π
i need to get back into it, but i have so many projects going on it's redic
i've been reviving a few bricked routers lately as well lol
I think there is more to go in this week.
got some usb-ttl cables in finally
Hmmm.. I wonder if Minneapolis will actually... "disband" the police. Kinda a wierd thought.
LOL okay this is funny.
I also got my GoControl Motion PIR, which is specifically slightly downward slanted, but circuit board has an add-on module for a temperature sensor SMD mounted, and it has the exact same jumper switches as the Ecolink motion sensor with PET1, PET2, and Test. But they provide no jumper cable.
jumper pin.
Ahh, nevermind it was in the box. LOL
@steel urchin did you figure out what the new firmware fixed/changed/broke?
Also a little funny. The GoControl motion sensor back does have the keyhold molds in the case design, just not cut out. Same design as the Ecolink.
Yeah, me too. I had started to get Aeotec ones, but I ended up returning all of them, including their door sensors, and got all Ecolink sensors.
They're beefier and bulkier... but, consistent battery type/size is a great thing, along with long battery life because they don't try to jam pack everything into it.
@tidal bronze do you like a set day on the calendar where you go around once a month/year and replace all 40 million sensor batteries? lol
But, the 10' tilt on this motion PIR is probably exactly what I needed to get the right adjustment for my hallway.
just add MOAR sensors.
@forest edge lol not really I have a backup sensor for each area
lmao
Moaaaar sensors! Soon my house will know every single step you make!
I mean, it's already trying to help me try to takeover the world!
@tidal bronze I wonder when it's time for you to purchase new batteries from amazon if it triggers some red light due to the bulk amount lmao
Sorry. Disregard that last statement. My house just reminded me I shouldn't say that publicaly.
@forest edge once a year I check battery levels. I don't even have alerts for them. Now most are GE in wall
some analyst does a pie chart of battery usage across the country and most of the sections are labeled like residential, commercial etc and then you see Quadflight as this huge chunk lol
I still want to know why the f amazon told me I've reached my limit buying Ecolink door/window sensors, last month. I only bought 6.
And it would not let me buy any more!
Not even 1!
@forest edge lmao dude.
Most battery ones are decommissioned now. Waiting for some AC powered outdoor ones from GE or Jasco
can't make your own?
Nopes. Don't want to. DIY days are behind me.
My game room where all my wireless radios are at probably appears as a hotbed of radio activity
Is it normal to feel constant vibrations while in a room?
Heh. My DIY days are just getting more and more. Heck, with my table saw, jigs, router, etc, all coming back out to play, I can make all sorts of new things, with wood, plastic, or metal. π
I can't make shit
I used to be all about DIY. Right now I try to enjoy the time rather than frustrated tinkering. π
Plus retail Vs diy sensor price difference is negligible
Nopes
So it's just for funsies then
Yep. 3 years ago it made sense not anymore.
well..
Ah interesting
with the cloud.. it still make sense lol
Oh no, no cloud stuff here. All primary is zw and the throw away ones or backup are zigbee
you see that Tediore? zigbee > throwaway
Nothing wrong with them of course. At that price it's disposable
I can't justify the cost of either lol
Wdym?
I think i buy at $7.60 a motion sensor
that sounds high to me
but then freaking rf door sensors are like 10 bucks these days
like wtf
That's like 1/4 the cost of any zwave one lol
I mean tha aqara motio with lux and temp
The wyze sensors are crazy cheap. $5 contact and $6 motion sensors
not including your 100 bucks zwave stick lol
Proprietary freq though
Goal this year is to remove all battery sensors.
And proprietary hub, naturally. It's tiny though
Thats a tall order though π€£
Yeah, good luck with that lol
without running wires don't see how that would be possible
I am 70% there.
you plan to install a million new outlets in the home?
heck even the wired reed switches are like 10 bucks
Don't need to be outlets
That's a good idea. Holy hell is that expensive though
Best move I did, so headache free and just works.
I wonder what the real longevity of those are
LANGUAGE!
I just picture recent fancy switches being made worse than ones made like 10 years ago etc
I have zw stuff from 7 - 10 yrs ago. Might have 2 or 3 failures. Not bad at all.
Reminds me, we started to add a suffix to certain products that we produce...and someone thought it'd be a good idea for it to be MFR
Then again, I guess MFG is only a little better
your warped mind is not the acronyms problem
But at least MFG is a common abbreviation for manufacturing
So cool when switches look like brand new after years.
oh? your fingers not as gross as mine?
They are never ever used. I even don't know what switch is what
lmao
yup quad will one day be trapped in his own home when the tech breaks down
how do you "turn" a knob again?
It happened to me seriously..... last week was moving HA to a new nuc, was looking for the balcony light switch and gave up.
You think π€£
Last time I used that switch might be a year or more
You can't blame me
1-800-LUV-TECH ext 2MUCH
I go to my wife's parent's and i'm like how do I turn this light off? oh yeah, I have to walk over to the lamp and reach under it, eeewww.
or bring your own smart bulb with bluetooth..
Although I wish GA was more intuitive
GA?
google assistant?
ah
Waiting for the day google turn off x in x minutes.
I looked on the official forums and the last comment was one saying it added the ability to disable the IR switch
Or interrupt automatioms.
@steel urchin lol
Tired of million Input boolean
@steel urchin they are going to disable the ability for people to use set commands with thier api at some point.. which is why i won't update lol
Google set patio timeout to 45 minutes π
Google flush toilet after next occupancy trigger
Yep.
Google make toast lol
But hey I can display weather radar image though. Cool
lol
I got my mom one of those google pucks. not sure if she is still using it but I never really liked voice stuff
too anti social even for a gadget
We rarely interact but sometimes I wish GA can be used to change things. Pointless asking it to turn and and off lights. So 1976
"hey Google, am I handsome?"
"You're absolutely perfect."
@scenic radish you are questioning the wrong entity
System is having messeage delivery failures
Yes it is
@scenic radish you probably got something set up to where when you say, "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" it sets some kind of mood lighting and romantic music and prints out the recipe for Grand Sauce
π€£
@forest edge what API?
@steel urchin the doorbell has an api
If the star wars cantina music on a loop is "romantic music" then yes
it's how i control it
I've never seen one mentioned
Do you have a reference?
Could be fun to tinker with
@forest edge I might actually setup a script with that. Turn on bow chicka wow wow
lol
You could make a routine that uses the phrase "bow chicka wow wow"
Then you don't need to say "turn on..."
I have an "initiate lockdown" routine that arms the security system lol
I have an "initiate lockdown" routine that arms the security system lol
@scenic radish I just pictured some strange woman entering your place and you saying that and all she hears is the deadbolt lock lmao
Sweet, I'll take a gander
You're getting solar panels installed?
Yes. 3rd one.
lol i watched one of those videos where elon gave away the roof solar panel thing where they redid like a few people's homes in cali and used those integrated panels and one of the people were like, "my electric bill was over $800/m and now with solar i'm only paying over $500/m" and I about choked
I pay like $70-$110 a month lol
thats a 4 story house
I would die if my bill was anywhere around 500 lol
Tesla solar deal is a joke.
does look neat tho
you can't even tell you havve solar panels
well from the ground anyways
everything costs a lot, in commiefornia, my bill is like 150 I think.
does that mean solar will pay me a couple hundred a month? lol.
I think my highest power bill in the summer has been $80
its weird cause cali has the most renewable energy farms of any other state too lol
mine could be cheaper but I like climate control too much.
I keep the AC at 74 during the day, 71 overnight
@rain swift there is no pay back anymore. Even net metering is messed up now. Thankfully LA still makes sense.
we like to roll about 63 at night lol.
@scenic radish I would sweat in your 4 walled box lol
then the only reason for me to run solar would be to go off grid.
and a week later some goon would be banging on your door, you can't go off grid boy!
Off grid makes no sense as of yet. When panel cost hits under $1/W would be a good time.
no catching water neither!
Reduce your overall consumption, move loads to the daytime, then size your solar system
I want a system I can use electricity the way I want. π
I see so many people throw massive solar packages at their powerbill and don't do steps 1 and 2
That's called the grid
like, if it can't give me what I get from the grid then f it lol
@forest edge what are your setpoints for AC?
if I wanna save money and suffer, I can live in a tent.
Do you have a whole house power meter
It's not about going without it's about going smart
offset with a few of these lol https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/HamsterInWheel.jpg
I'd put a whole house power meter on and look at the data
so you can sit on your death bed and be like......I saved money on electricity...... dies
@scenic radish 70 during the day and I turn it down to 65 at night
Good lord
Put it in grafana and overlay it with an outdoor illumination sensor
67 at all times.
My AC would probably never turn off if I had it at 65
.f2c 65
65 degrees fahrenheit = 18.33 degrees celsius!
.f2c 72
72 degrees fahrenheit = 22.22 degrees celsius!
uh sure it would.. chicago isn't exactly known for it's desert climate lol
thats prolly worth more than solar, or should be in conjunction with
@rain swift size of your AC ?
I'd recommend everyone to have a whole house power meter regardless
We are home automation enthusiasts after all
hell if I know, will it say that on the side lol
Lol.
I will have whole house power metering when I own, I rent right now.
Oh OK.
@hushed basalt will you buy me one?
@hushed basalt whole house makes little sense when calculating for solar. Yearly usage is what you need.
yea @hushed basalt you must pay AU prices and also pay shipping
@forest edge now I'm curious. It takes about an hour to go from 75-71 depending on the day's heat load
Naturally it would take longer to go from 71-67
You can monitor any metric you want with your own data logging
But time of use is important
@scenic radish piss poor insulation?
Getting solar won't help much if 90% of your kwh usage is at night
But that doesn't tell you what you're using when the sun is shining
That does not matter.
How does it not matter?
We don't calculate like that.
@forest edge insulation is fine but I'm on the second floor
You don't get anything for feed ins here
And the condenser is 20 years old lol
The only way you save money is by reducing your import
@scenic radish tell your old neighbor lady below she needs to turn her thermostat down from 95? lmao
@hushed basalt yearly consumption Vs production and you get year end or quarterly bill.
It doesn't work like that here
It's 6c for export and 25-45c for import
LA is still total consumption Vs production
Lucky
Yep.
Guys here got on an early rebate scheme where they get 45c export gross
And pay 25c import
That was when 1.5kw cost like $15000 though
Most cities are going TOU. I want to get the systems installed now so will get grandfathered in.
this is why my HA instance is simple.. all this new tracking of data would make my head hurt and prevent me from being able to watch porn
@hushed basalt no don't, come back
@hushed basalt seen any bus bar compatible CTs?
I think you asked that before
Lol still looking
@rare condor may be better to ask
Yo
Can you just access the conductor feeding the busbar upstream
Bus bar is the only way for this install.
Or I need to get special permission to access service side.
Using a CT clamp on a bus bar is not common practice (speaking as an industrial PLC tech)
talking for power metering?
I can't think of a context in a residential setting where you wouldn't be able to access a cable?
What are you trying to measure and where?
Consumption
100amp line clamps is all you need
No place to clamp is the problem.
? has to be
Nopes.
Man working around HV substations would be scary AF
Service side is on the bottom of the house panel. @forest edge from that point onwards all bus bars
living next to one with kids is even scarier
Lol.
@tidal bronze take a picture
More the fact that if you get too close you'll end up becoming an arc path
Just like the bottom
gotta let it breathe
Not mine example.
Yeah i figured. But I hate shitty work
Don't look at my rack right now
https://media.tenor.com/images/adb4c3dfc1552fb064d3d300959b4c56/tenor.gif
The current transformer design for these current transformers is such that they can convert an AC input current of up to several thousands of amperes into an output of 5A or 1A depending on customer requirements.
@tidal bronze so somehow your meter is on the other side of this panel and there is no visual sign of the line that connect the two?
They are all locked from meter down. Meter onwards no wire all bus bar
Have you tried hacking the mainframe
@tidal bronze you Californians and your weird reinventing of the wheel lol
Also does your utility meter have a pulse light
I dont think so.
If you can use a pulse counter that's probably the easiest
hey all where's the best place to discuss MQTT discovery -- zigbee/zwave not a perfect fit though most related?

hi π new to HASS π
YouTube changed and AdBlock doesn't block the ads
@last dirge have you used pihole?
yeah the "in-video" they are not stopped π¦
time to give uBlock a try
ublock origin is working fine for me
you in the US?
yup
do you see the pre-video ads that are all white screen with a blue button?
Nope, I haven't seen any preroll ads
what browser?
Chrome
ublock != ublock origin
Jessie is apparently EOL
now to jump through hoops to update
did you do any tweaking of ublock origin?
Nope
been using ublock origin for quite awhile
does great with youtube. although sometimes youtube changes something and may take ublock a day to adjust for it
starting a distro update at 11:45 was a bad idea
Lol damn
damnit
I can't just leave it either
my computer will go to sleep and kill the ssh session
Probably need to re-pick your repo
it's a pi, that's why it's so damn slow
Oh, Ctrl+z b-g
I can't background a distro update, can I?
I don't see why not
is a new shell going to be able to foreground it later?
it would've been faster to download the image, flash that, and set pihole up again from scratch

it really shows how many sites use google backend
no sites that use googlefonts are working..so annoying, i got a project due tomorrow
I've had some inconsistent behavior on my Google devices and services in the past hour or so
Working on important stuff in the cloud π€’
Meh, nothing important
Was thinking more of Google Fonts 
I never store nor edit anything in the cloud, it all happens local for me, then gets saved in two different cloud stores when I'm done

googlefonts, ajax.googleapi
hopefully this will show sites they need to stop dependency on google
a man can dream
I'm glad I mostly work with customers who say no to the cloud
Or actually will never run in the cloud
i store stuff backups in the cloud but it's all encrypted
Uh, yeah
ok.
I mean no, I'll trade you my ac lite for it
They also sent me a Camera
I ordered one POE adapter and UAC LITE
I got a camera and NANO HD
Whoever manages the orders is pretty woeful
Heh apparently
You didn't need the PoE injector if you bought a single pack, it comes with one
What router do you have?
Shitty order picking process
Sounds like there's no barcode checking step in there
EdgeRouter X
I also have an ER-X (and an AC lite)
That plus the AC lite seems to be a popular combo
Finally found a use for my raspberry pi 3B+... WiFi to Ethernet bridge so I can wirelessly connect a device that doesn't have WiFi
Through some magic in this post the device is even on the same subnet as the one the pi is on: https://willhaley.com/blog/raspberry-pi-wifi-ethernet-bridge/
It's a very low-bandwidth device so nobody freak out
Aah three days paid leave because my wife has her final exam of the year, maybe I'll finally get the last stuff on my list done around the house

@fading zodiac lamp for my daughter's room, integrated with home assistant to make it trigger based on nearby lightning if needed

No firehazard?
Not really, the PSU is oversized, so it doesn't even get lukewarm, and the glue and wadding are both arts and craft stuff, so should be safe
Just smelly

That's what I like about having your systems on vms with configuration management
And your storage backed with snapshots and backups
Not too disasterous if you accidentally Tediore your system
what confm?
woow - much denglich
same π
yea - for example that the thing got a nice CVE wich let all cindes of ackers into your network
I think I might put 2 x 1TB ssds in each of my nodes (3) and run ceph/rook on them when I get around to it
And use that for my stateful data
Then just keep the bulk unimportant stuff on my synology nas

ah - I dont uninstall.. I just shoot it in the head

I see that as wing-et
@hearty depot don't care much about hotel WiFi, work pays for it and I use a VPN home to route all traffic anyway 
not even creative with the name.
I wouldnt be supprised if they would have called it Chocolate
I don't mind if they call it appleschmaple as long as it works
I've actually missed a package manager I windows
you and your infinite travel budged
Chocolatey can go live with adobe flash and lotusnotes as far as I'm concerned
windows sucks in general

What happend there? did you kill a Shelly? π
Nah, the Shelly is fine, but it was hit by some dripping oily residue so have to scrub the outside 
Oh dear, good luck with that π€’
Use salt

Those mats look so convenient. Is it static dissipative too or just silicone?
I'm not talking about oil :)
Though ice cube trays could definitely work to prevent small oil spills.
@low harness magnetic pockets, silicone, numbered holes very practical
No ESD points though

You could just get a cheap chinese arduino motor shield.
I could but that will arrive in September

You say you hate cloud
But you're enabling clients to build their own cloud
Cracks in your Norwegian propaganda!
Silly boy, the land of unicorns and rainbows doesnβt have propaganda
I think of cloud as just resources on demand
Self service compute, storage, RDS etc, that's cloud
But you can have that locally too
Then it's a local cloud?
Sure
I think "cloud" also implies accessible from the internet
If you have to use marketing term
I don't think cloud strictly means public cloud
@unreal orbit probably why marketing has shifted to call it composable instead of cloud
Not public necessarily, but able to access remotely
The cloud is so 2018 anyway. The edge is where it is at in 2020
I'll give you a cloud alright
2020 is pretty edgy
So much cloud hostility :D
reeeeeeee.
Uh oh, someone make a note.
Did the cloud take your lunch money π
I stand on the edge and admire the cloud
It might as well take my lunch money with the time that it wastes being down

Well it took 2 power outages yesterday for me to make the decision to finally buy an UPS for my server π€¦ on the bright side, everything rebooted/restarted on its own π
yeah, buying a UPS was a great decision
sort of an edge case but it came in handy when i did some painting in the room where my server and stuff is at and had to move everything away from the wall. kept the server and networking equipment up so i was still able to stream music
I would say that is a very reasonable use case
thankfully haven't had a power outage since i've moved in here
I took the opportunity during my outage to finally organize the clusterf*** that was my cable management around my server/entertainment center
I have just one thing to figure out in my servers, why when I restart freenas, that runs both the mosquitto server and HA server that I have to restart the zigbee2mqtt pi and HA after both ha and mosquitto are booted
shell_command π
Just reboot the house
i have to figure out why the fstab rule i have for the external SSD attached to my server prevents startup...
ahh yes, that would be useful
can't figure out what the issue is. the UUID is correct
Probably PEBKAC 
obviously
Actually the one thing I still need to fix is my openmqttgateway requiring a serial connection to function. It's not a difficult problem, but I'm lazy and don't want to break something that is technically working
no issues with mounting the internal eMMC with fstab. used the same settings for that for the external drive

I'm saying I've never seen it not fail until just now. I guess I don't pay attention that much

@last plaza have you looked into why the bot sometimes fails to delete the invoking message if someone is tagged? https://github.com/skalavala/HassBot/blob/master/DiscordBotLibCore/Helper.cs#L462 I'm curious as to what the value of the leftover content is
at first I thought it may be when there's a space in someone's name, but that isn't the case here https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/672223497736421388/719466293538979900
Discord API is wonky, sometimes it fails to do stuff (like respoding/deleting)
I am the great Cornholio! I need SD for my PiHole!
It seems to only fail (or at least mostly) when someone is tagged. Maybe it is just an API thing
@unreal orbit i will have to look into it. Discord api has so many issues and flaws and doesnβt always work as expected , and lots of issues. Bot does a pretty good job try to survive and reconnect.
It would probably be enough to log extra content when it exists (at least temporarily). Then you would know if the task is failing or something wonky with the API
logger.Debug("Extra content detected, '" + leftovercontent + "', skipping delete.");
@last dirge updating without OOBMπ€’
I finally got a certificate created and installed for "home.mydomain.dk", and I can finally use iOS devices. Of course also other browsers with SSL protection when using my externall address. However, accessing the local address 192.168.x.x is now broken, and I cant even configure the Home Assistant app with the internal URL, as it is deemed insecure due to an invalid certificate. Is that normal, or are there workarounds for local access without warnings or even being locked (like the app does)?
Use the external address always, NAT reflection takes care of it unless you got a POS router ;-)
Thanks - it's also working here, so I'll keep it that way then π
@clear ferry it's a pi
I was just curious if I missed something - apparently all is good π

21 degrees celsius = 69.8 degrees fahrenheit!

@shy comet you mean all of the rest of the world

Fahrenheit = how temperature feels to humans
Celcius = how temperature feels to water
Nobody ever considers water's feelings π¦

Fahrenheit is a quite ridiculous scale, when does water freeze? 32 of course!
Water boils? 212 of course!
because its a human relative scale, not a water relative scale
What is it relative to humans?
Fahrenheit
Yeah, what is it relative to?
general human comfort
I'm also curious to this, because I know it will be slippery outside when it is around 0, because water freezes, so we have the same relative understanding from both a human and water 
true, but you also have to deal with decimals in your temps
Also relative to human feeling depends on humidity
We don't have to have decimals
We can have round numbers
but 22 to 23 c is a much larger swing than 71 to 72 f
But those 0.3 degrees could matter!
Perhaps, not
but the metric folks are the ones who often make fun of SAE measurement units because they're "inaccurate"
Except when you see where it is hottest in a given day
it's going to be almost 90 here today :/
Sure, we use metric to be accurate, but we don't use that accuracy in everyday life
It is 32.2 degrees Celsius here today. That feels weird saying in metric.
90 F now, supposed to up to 94
π€£
I still prefer fscking hot π
Well, +30 in the UK is unbearable
Especially in London taking the tube

I was there once it was 33, I was certain I would cook
Surrounded by sea, Iβm sure it will be humid a lot too
Yeah, it's why 30C here is nasty
Hell, 25C here can be nasty
Yet, I've done 40C in other places and been fine with it
yeah.... UK should occupy Norway and make it their new home for summers.
Up North (aka Scotland) is generally fine in the summer, gets toasty for a few days, but nothing terrible. Well, by fine I mean not too hot - just stay out of the torrential downpours.
Thatβs how Scotland stays green - with all the rains.
Fighting turning on the air. AC π€’

Huh... My Zooz outdoor motion sensor is already exhibiting failures.
And I haven't even had it a month yet.
that was suprisingly afforadble to be zwave
that said I've had a xiaomi motion sensor outdoors for three months last fall
it still worked when I brought it in
Mine is just staying "high", so I'm trying different batteries, even thjough the reading suggests 80%.
Hmmm.. Still staying high. :/
Maybe you need to wait for it to come down? π
