never heard of frozen rabbit LOL
Neither had we until we needed some to make stew 🤣
I was willing to hunt one myself, but living where I am it's not the easiest thing to just go out and do
Moose is delicious
Yup. Now he gets to hunt Bugs with a scythe. Which is.... 🤦
I would try two of those things
Some light reading for you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pjap8df9vqoepb/Rubin - Eating Wild Antarctic Food.pdf?dl=0

Apparently if you get the slightest bit of blubber in your penguin meat it ruins the whole thing with an overpowering fishy taste.
Yes, with whale and seal we water out the taste over 1-2 days
Without proper preparation it tastes of fish oil
🤢
Looks like a giant beet
Actually yeah
Are you the new @scenic radish @unreal orbit ? :peepoLaptopHappy:
@clear ferry why would you insult Villhellm like that?

Pepe was banned at work on Slack or any reference.

@forest edge this you?
It's so hot I'm dying
And all müricäns just go laughs in California
android pissed me off tonight can't set dns servers without setting static ip, ignores those anyway if ipv6 is enabled, cant set dns servers for ipv6
🦘🦘
I did what I often do, which is type out an entire message and decide last second to not send it
Because you know I would just 🤢 or 
Actually I was gonna say I'm getting more comfortable using celcius for some things
At least with knowing about what the F equivalent would be lol
Too bad I have to use what my locale uses
he sounds exactly like him
apparently the IRS received a payment 2 days late
"we went ahead and waived the late fee this time"
gee, thanks
in other news
one of the five peaches on my tree is gettin big
lucky the squirrels didnt get to it lol
we don't have many squirrels
Dem Georgia peaches
Everyone online mentioned peached cobbler if going to Georgia
No restaurant I went to over two weeks served it
You have to visit restaurants other than McDonalds

I didn't go to mcd once while I was in the us
With Reese's peanut butter cups instead of chocolate
I went to a different restaurant every day
s'mores are overrated. Don't @ me

s'mores are for lazy people who don't want to actually spend the time to bake something delicious 🤜
although now obviously I'm going to try them with Reese's
Wut?
If everything could ever feel this real forever
They're not even related lol
To what? Baking?
But yeah, super good with reeses
Baking == how most desserts are made
Oh I see what you mean
It's so fucking hot in my hotel room I'm contemplating going out for another beer
Googles baked ice cream
googles baked popsicles
It's so fucking hot in my hotel room I'm contemplating going out for another beer
DOIT
TIL frozen treats == most desserts 
I'm in Porsgrunn boi
Besides s'mores

Oh I thought you might have been in the US again atx

Nooooo
I even had a s'more ready for you 😢
Why would I go to that covid cesspool?
To show solidarity to those of us that don't have a choice
Just move here already!
@last plaza is moving here next week
And @hushed basalt comes next month
Pretty sure we've been barred from travel to the EU
not sure if this is the right place for this..does anyone know if you can just buy the nicer harmony hub remotes on their own? and if they work with the regular hub?
Have you tried googling the model? 
well i only ever see the remote bundled with the hubs
depends on teh remote
each hub can have 1 non touchscreen remote and 1 touchscreen remote
i have the cheapest of the harmony hubs with the cheapy remote, was looking at the 950 remote or the elite remote
950 wont work
elite will
you have to see if the remote itself can pair with a hub...it dosnt need to be purchased to it
so harmony smart remote, harmony companion remote are teh 2 non-touchscreen remots
does the touchscreen one even integrate with HA at all? do the light buttons work?
yes they do
using emulated hue you can get a full list of devices to control via touchscreen
i have the smart remote without the light buttons
I've had one harmony product in my life
i have both lol got 2 hubs here 😛
was thinking it might make my gf's life easier to control the house
The 300 remote, it was shite 
i love the remote buttons for teh lights
i have this guy https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n+GfXPWDL._AC_SS350_.jpg
You guys press buttons?
then i went on ebay and bought the harmony ultimate remote which is 1 step below teh elite
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lRt2lsVCL._AC_SS350_.jpg so this is the one i want?
@clear ferry you just think at your TV to turn it on?
elite is like $200 usd i think....the harmony ultimate was like $100
wew that's pricy
yea that remote will work
i have more questions for you, one moment
It turns on when I enter the room in the morning and stays on for the most of the day @unreal orbit 
I live my life much too chaotically for that
une momento, a user just deleted a file and needs it back asap
Users 🤢
alright while i wait for veeam to load
i can get a refurb elite w/ hub for $165 it seems
@shy comet this says 950 works w/ harmony hub
alright so i just got $60 in amazon gift cards as part of an employer incentive, what shit that i don't need should i get?
USB fan and a large capacity USB battery pack 😛
I wish those existed when I was a kid
@clear ferry lol nope, it's an employee health program. you get points for working out, taking informational courses, etc.
I was actually pretty good at laser tag in the late 90s, I was more in the laser tag / internet cafe than I was at home growing up
We had to actually go to a laser tag park
@scenic radish so the points are easy to grab you say
internet cafe in 90s? 👀
lol love it villhellm
@clear ferry yeah they are actually. you can get up to like $200 in gift cards a year or something
@orchid rose we got our first in 1994/5 I think
I refuse to believe this
It's true true
on the real though, these toys are legit fun https://www.amazon.com/Air-Hogs-Gravity-Laser-Guided-Climbing/dp/B07NJJ1ZKP/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=air+hogs+wall&qid=1593202657&sr=8-1
wtf, that's amazing @unreal orbit
And flexing my wpm
the novelty from the mini drones i bought still hasn't worn off though
maybe i'll buy some more zigbee/z-wave sensors
I remember going to the library to search for stuff on Altavista and my friends being funny and searching for Porn. Got us kicked out 😦 But that was like 98 or so. Can't remember any Internet cafes from that era myself
@unreal orbit lol wtf
I got to play with them because my nephews have some. They work surprisingly well
@orchid rose Finland you know, too poor for 90s interwebs
Smh, did you even have mobile phones then?
They had no need. All phones did back then was call people. People don't talk to each other in Norwegia
Could be worse, could be Danish. Even if they tried, they wouldn't understand each other
ooo maybe i'll buy more water leak sensors
@unreal orbit i remember chatting to some weird American guy in 1993 that threatened to kill me, so I cried to my father
Was it you @unreal orbit ?
the smartthings ones are $18 on amazon with delivery tomorrow
@clear ferry considering I was either a fetus or an infant, probably not
a friend of mine bought a motorized water shutoff valve, installed it
then configured his smartthings leak sensor to report if there was a leak under any of the sinks
as soon as he hit save on the automation, his water shut off
lmao
it detected a leak that he couldn't even see
Lol
yeah i have four of the smartthings water leak sensors connected via ZHA, i'll get multiple alerts when a leak is detected and the lights flash blue
You guys have leaks?
i haven't, but it can happen
I just have clogs, that I have to fix with my power washer
the shartthings ones are nice
My insurance covers any leaks anyway
Nice to fix the leak before it's a big deal
so does mine, but i'm on the second floor and leaks in my unit could affect the unit below me
and what tinkerer said
My parents got a whole new kitchen including appliances when they had a leak under the kitchen floor
brb, gonna flood my kitchen
@orchid rose internett usage among people were 5%\95, 10%\96 15%\97 31%\99 we beat the us by one percent in 99 it seems
While Finland were equal to us all the way
First Norwegian www page was in 93 it seems
Did you live in a big city?
Well it's pretty big by Nordic standards. I lived in a smaller one at the time
Of course, it's also about the area
damn i had to look up my towns popluation 3,932 people
Only reason we had that many people was because of the university
Yeah, my wider area is apparently about 20K, but it doesn't feel like that populated
Which is one of the most northern ones, if not the most northern one
Such big wow

I might have been there when I was a kid, can't remember for sure
Recent years have seen warming, and there have been no overnight air frost in June since 1997.
🤔
So... chilly
Humidity difference?
Coastal humidity and wind yes
Wind is a killer
Smartthings 🤢
yeah i hate it
alright i need to set this up and then find a deal on one of the touchscreen harmony remotes
the smartthings devices themselves are nice, at least the ones i have
water leak sensors and buttons, they work well with ZHA

idk, i'd have to get a supported stick
i have two smartthings door sensors and a motion sensor still
someone needs to release mqtt2mqtt
You mean bridging @unreal orbit ?
No I mean a broker that talks to itself to keep itself company
I did that
That ... should be easy with a bridge config
When I bridged both ways
It may melt the host...
thinking of switching to bitwarden for my password management needs, anything i should be aware of?
What are you using now?
the install instructions make it seem like it's this big thing
chrome password manager lol

do it
I'm quite happy with lastpass family account
I've really liked lastpass
It's reasonably priced and supports yubikey
I just use free tier and haven't missed any features
i like the idea of bitwarden being self-hosted
Meh, lastpass works offline. I don't see any real benefit to self-hosting something like that
some random server not having all my passwords stored
You actually store your actual passwords?

Dangit
Now I want to rewatch Full Metal Alchemist
The original series or Brotherhood?
I liked the original. Brotherhood was too similar in the beginning to keep me interested in continuing. I don't think I ended up watching it all the way through
The ending was not nearly as good imo
The darkness of the original is what gets me
One of my top 4 favorite FMA / Brotherhood themes
Teddi should play Armstrong in a HA remake of FMA
I was going to watch the new(er) Berserk, but I cancelled HBO Max and am too lazy to find it elsewhere
Transatlantic streaming 

Alright, new drinking game. Gonna go through all my old projects and take a shot for every time I have == true
😊

Sure when I come to Chicago
Are we talking animes
@scenic radish are we going to have to have an intervention for your tendies addiction?

Have any of you ever seen Planetes
Nope
Only one of the greatest shows ever made
And no one has heard of it
It's technical, realistic, and not based on a 14 year old cast
Adding to my list
It's hard to source
Probably not for me 
Depends how good your indexers are
@unreal orbit heh...the only reason I'm not a total fatass is because I exercise
Opening theme from the anime Planetes.
Song is "Dive in the Sky" by Mikio Sakai
I eat crap that's just as bad, I just don't eat a lot
I excersise my right to sit still
It's hard scifi. I don't know of any other hard scifi anime
@clear ferry YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SEDENTARY

Two things. Why FMA when Haruka Kanata is a Naruto intro? And also, brotherhood beats original any day of the week.
We talking about weeb shit again?
@low harness because Asian kung Fu generation also had rewrite which was the fourth intro to FMA
!
What about the issues that really matter
Brb. Listening to Wind.
Why are there no Australian mods
Wind always reminded me of Golden Brown
spow
We don't give power to those in the upside-down @hushed basalt
I feel unrepresented
Glad it's the weekend, this week was a bitch-and-a-half
I only have one more week of work
My daughter is doing her 18 month sleep regression a month early
until the next week of work
I have a three-day weekend at least
4 canines coming through at the same time as becoming independent and wanting to decide her own bedtime (never)
My daughter goes to bed at 19 and wakes at 05-06 the last 10 days @hushed basalt 
Four canines here too coming at once
I'm back. Damn those are some good memories.
She normally goes to bed around 6.30pm and wakes up around 6am
But last night was 9pm
Reason I zoomed to Asian kunh Fu generation was that they have an intro song in Dororo too @low harness
Only goes to sleep when she collapses
Lol
Plus was awake from 2am to 5am the other day
She only sleeps at most 30 minutes in kindergarten, so she is always tired when she comes home
man it's amazing how much harmony remotes are
Kubernetes is very cool
I have a 3 node HA cluster
I could pull the power from a node and my services would recover automatically
HA as in highly available not homeassistant
And if services properly support clustering, you could kill a node and users wouldn't even notice
So confused about this email 🤔
'Murica
It would still work if his email was www.jesusamericaneagle...
User www.jesus... at host gmail.com
I had to pull over for that one
@tidal bronze gotta make sure you catch the eyes of those religious people who fear cutting a tree may not appease the lord almighty.
shelly has a $16 wifi reed switch that has tilt and vibration, temperature and lux sensors and supposedly lasts on battery for longer than 2 years
I mean.. wow
you got that from a tailgate?
no just common knowledge
was about to tease you about the whole assuming it's a latino just because of it being a tree trimming service lol
nah would not bother me ....but in context it makes perfect sense
@hushed basalt what's with the username
If you live in Australia @boreal sorrel you would understand. All telcos are bad 😂
@forest edge fortunately most of us here are not religious, tree huggers, yep
what you talking about? California's population numbers are directly tied to hippies moving out west lol
I am yet to meet a person that's religious but atheist all the time including me. 😂
well maybe the religion part.. but tree huggers you certianly got lol
Honestly no one really talks about religion, ever. In any case that's a personal choice and should not leave the house. 💯 on the tree hugging and animal loving part.
bet your religious people all flocked north to oregon lol
I guess. It would be really awkward is someone talks about it. Lol.
Few eyes would roll 😂
talking about religion?
Yep.
people should just never talk about anything controversial, the world would be a million times better place.
Of course. Then again they would argue about why not worship the sun or a tree God.
lol everything is controversial to someone else
instead, people spend every waking moment on twitter crying about everything you can think of.
yep, those people are sad and pathetic.
they should stay off the internet.
@tidal bronze I thought it was generally accepted to worship the weed and ocean sea life in california lol
LMAO
dumb question: if I set my DNS servers on my device (phone) to a local address and 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, will it automatically use the second one if the first is down, or will my internet stop working when the 1st DNS server is down?
Really, come to think of it religion and politics is not something we discuss at least people I come across. Like I said buck stops at home. @forest edge
@rare condor will automatically pull the secondary
should use the secondary.
thanks, with a delay, like does it wait for it to timeout first?
depends on the device.
@tidal bronze you guys did elect the terminator for governor after all. proof noone discussed much of anything lol
LMAO. Exactly
I think people debate more about kale vs baby kale 😂
and what sand produce grows the best
There you go.
I get forced to watch bravo shows, the kind of dumb stuff people pay tons of money for in that state is mind boggling.
there's a guy who sells these ear bugs that connect to, who knows what and it's supposed to block 5G, what morons buy this stuff.
forced?
Oh the 5g killing stuff. Epic man.
the wife watches, I sit on the couch and tinker lol
also its like a train wreck
can't look away
those people are so disconnected from reality.
I am ok with most of the things but they were going to ban boiling crabs. I was in the streets.
I am....not surprised.
bet you they keep boiling crabs in Beverly hills...
you think the rich people gonna stand for that business that's for the peasants lol.
Boiling crab is my favorite restaurant so go figure. Lol
I'm still waiting for calexit.
or that other thing, split the state into like 3 pieces.
Lol. If that happens problem is not for us. Being the world's 5th largest economy shots can be called. Lol. But never going to happen.
they say that, how much of that place is the .001% though
afaik california is a small number of uber rich, and a ton of people wanting to be them.
@rare condor android I assume?
boiling crabs is pretty horrible if you think about it. you wouldn't boil a cow alive lol
Ain't that the whole world @rain swift ?
also I thought I hear cali was going broke
yeah, I don't see why you can't kill the crab right before you boil it.
I see no scientific difference.
A giant lobster tries to kill Peter by drowning him in boiling water.

it magically tastes better if you boil it alive?
@hushed basalt yeah I had to disable IPv6 DNS servers as you can't change those, but it takes 5 seconds before it uses 2nd dns server
I just setup PiHole
But I only wanted to use it per device
@rain swift I have no idea.
I'm not convinced
of?
@rain swift broke ? Lol it's just like the US economy always broke.
using it, I prefer per device adblocking
well then nothing of value should be lost if they form their own country lol.
so install ublock origin on every device.
I do, but I am using it on my phone
I dunno why that is any different though
Depends if the rest of the country wants to pay EU prices for 80% tech they buy. 😜
I'm sure all the tech companies would be run out soon enough.
so it will just be for my phone for now
they tax the hell out of everything in that state.
@rain swift not going to happen. Just like calexit
lol 80%, you would be invaded
why would you not be convinced pihole blocks everything?
and the cali's who survived the invasion would be shipped out to sea on a single porta potty
LMAO.
I mean, we just need to get rid of a few cities there anyways
or, everything along the coast.
There's nothing to argue it is what it is. Untill other states become important in global scale shits going to ride as is.
wait don't we get all of our tech devices from china. 🤔
Yes we do
Well shits designed here. Hello Bay area.
that's cool, they can keep designing, I will keep buying it from china, win win
don't the chinese already own most of california anyways? lol
most likely
that's why nobody would say anything bad about them that one time
forgot what happened now.
I do remember a documentary about rich chinese people buying up as many homes in califonria as they can
@forest edge they own the entire country if you look at the deficit
lol
At least in Cali we know it. 😂
maybe this pandemic will change some things
hell we could atleast make our own penicillin
obviously not, but we don't need to 100% go dometic either
no country is 100% local only
well...
you notice during plandemic none of the big box stores closed down but mom and pop selling the same stuff did
that's no cooincidence.
there's many dirty deals going on
this country is an oligarchy, you vote for politicians, you are ruled by corporations lol.
We should talk about china ONLY after we have manufacturing ready. Talking before that is just nonsense.
as long as corps can have cheap slave labor over there, nothing will change.
notice how an american car in the UK costs 10 times as much
But if you think about Chinese manufacturing, they still have to pay for the tech.
start doing the same stuff here and everything will move back real fast
won't happen though, corps own the politicians, so enjoy the chinese slave labor making everything lol
Lol.
china was hurt pretty bad by all of this, no telling what will come at the end
at least publicly they were scape goated
but I wanna see what really changes
walmart don't care about you
Have you changed your private dns settings @rare condor
I have never shopped walmart and never will. I am not ok with throwing small business under the bus.
yep its working
someone find the number of small businesses that have closed doors for good, pretty scary.
it just has a 5 second timeout before it uses public dns if server is down
lotta people got even more rich from plandemic
they are US owned but they fill the store with chinese stuff.
well most places do
walmart is evil anyways, they force vendors to sell to them dirt cheap
well if you had the ability to do it, so would you lol
they hire people, and the first day they show you how to fill out welfare paperwork
heard this from people who worked at walmart
no, its the tarrif laws that have to change lol
people don't have much money buy cheap stuff
You can also change your dns in your router
If we really want to take on China must be a joint effort to knowingly pay a dollar or two more for something 😀
I know people who buy their food from walmart because its the only way they can afford to eat the month
just push the chinese people to take over thier own country.. problem solvved
and dosen't cost us a dime
I don't buy squat from walmart, I buy everything online haha
have you seen what chinese people live in lol
Amazon is just like Walmart takes out all the small sellers.
its like super orwell police state over there, only way to control 1.6 billion people
I think amazon is worse than walmart lol
Yep.
probably so, but I hate people, and going around to brick and mortar stores only to not find what I want anyways.
lol download booster.. warp speed... engage
Samsung :/
download booster, isn't that stuff I saw when dialup was a thing.
Lol.
Damn this hurts. Uber eats 14 minutes to go. 🙄
why not use dual wan for everything?
Well you can't dual wan to a single session normally
hmmm
Plus you would smash your mobile data
doordash was free for like the past 2-3 months lol
UE is faster always so I stick with it.
faster? they finally rolled out those quad copter tranport things huh
I mean really. Plus I have so many discounts on UE. I take uber more than I drive. 😜
then you feel like you are riding "bitch" lol
lol pulls up in a rusted out vw bug with one wobbly wheel
Nopes. Always upgraded if you are diamond.
they fixed the wheel lmao
That too. 😀
uber and lyft for car rides is very popular aroujd here
just not the uber eats
I like the lyft window light thing
I drive maybe 1200 miles a year rest is uber.
Something like that.
I am sure tesla will be fully automated soon enough, then you can just nickname your car "Uber"
and sit in the backseat of your own car haha
After JD power I am thinking twice now.
Isn't everything?
we have whats called Firehouse Subs here. the meatballs are friggin huge lol
Back on keto these days any carb is heaven for me. 😆
lol
Ok foods at the gate. See you guys on the other side. 👋
sounds like the final words from someone who may be spending many hours sit upon a toilet lol
Progress towards my next project, second time soldering.
Now I can use Dupont wires with these here buttons
Also, Blu tack is awesome
I should get a dupont crimping set
It's handy to have cheap small disconnect for signal wires
Plus some bootlace crimpers
And normal terminal crimpers. Open and closed barrel.
So many crimpers to get
And my axe
I just have a shitload of dupont connectors in all variations, then I just cut and splice them as needed
no need to crimp 
If i needed to put a connector on a random power supply lead or something I'd rather just crimp
As opposed to solder a pigtail on
I'm not a fan of solder splices
I'm doing a combo of rclone and rsnapshot now 
Knowing you can recover from almost anything is priceless
might be a better approach to do a daily rsnapshot clone of my plex database rather than a full weekly one
should be more space efficient and a better restore point
No reason not to 🙂
What a saturday
sitting in a DC, watching four people recable a core network
I'm just backup in case the remote guys drop connection when moving the Layer3
you are in DC?
Getting paid, to watch movies/read books?
DATACENTER not in COLUMBIA
Life is hard
lol
Well... to configure rclone and rsnapshot 🤣
😂
should be illegal to refer to a datacenter as DC
$80 per hour for me, $300 billed at customer just for sitting here

Should be illegal to refer to Direct Current aswell then @forest edge ?
I could have been sitting in a DC watching electricians connect DC rails in Washington DC tbh
Damn telco and their DC power
noone refers to direct current in a sentence that is discribing location
I ain't touching that shit
damn storm has my motion going nuts atm
We won't see villhellm for a few days, I gave him access to my plex server and now he is weebing out

Literally the only thing my seedbox/plex server is for
once he finds out none of it is in english he'll be right backj
Inb4 he watches dubs
Cant stare at anime tiddies if your eyes are on the subtitles amirite?
🤣
I actually have a crunchyroll sub I need to cancel 😐
I have never streamed anime actually there were no proper streaming options before, and when there came a few they were mostly dubbed 🤢
lol
UL Data Total is at 281.3 TB
I mostly do nzb these days, but I still have torrent in backup, because that is where all the strange stuff is usually found
yeah nzb is my go to at this point
I have a docker stack (Actually OSI Containers but for sake of simplicity lets just say docker) of 24 containers just to manage the plex media and keep it sorted nicely
lulz, I just use sonarr\radarr and plex, and they keep each other sorted 99% of the time
I am an automation engineer at the core so I made a pet project out of it
I don't have time for that jibba jabba
Thats usually what it comes down to
But I am technically retired so I got too much time on my hands
My OCD says I should have, my daughter and work says I don't 🤣
Real life Sims you say
God forbid I find dirt in grout...
Real life Sims
mood
Im sure my home builders didnt enjoy me while it was being built

The problem is most western anime voice "actors" are hot garbage
Yes, they all sounds like me trying to do an American accent
I become.... incredibly camp
The only good dubs are when they're real actors
There's a reason Studio Ghibli uses real actors for their english dubs
It took me 7 years to remove my cajun accent and get a neutral american accent
Japanese VA are better at conveying feelings imo
Not exclusively
L from Death note is better in english
Your opinion is invalid

I haven't played a game on windows for..... 7 years I think @light trout but I still run windows for some reason 🤣
@light trout MX Linux is pretty damn nice if you want EZ Setup
Fairly popular now too as a desktop linux OS
But proton has made running games on linux a breeze
Tons of stuff is now compat too.
And if you have an AMD Card, you might find your FPS is better in Linux than Windows
I find linux desktops just don't look very good
PS4 is fine, PCMR is just neckbeards 🤣
because funny shit MS and their updates.
Don't need easy, but need driver/software support, from what I have seen Ubuntu has broader support over most other :/
Don't know if it's because of proprietary rendering of fonts of MS
https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype Even better font rendering for windows
I used to run Gentoo in the early mid 00's, had 10-15 more FPS in RTCW:ET than I did on windows
long live ATI
Driver support is now pretty ubiquitous across all Linux distros
https://pop.system76.com/ looked at this as an alternative
Pop!_OS is great

root@Plex:~ # /usr/local/bin/rsnapshot
/usr/local/bin/rsnapshot: Command not found.
I have a System76 Laptop with it
If you do lots of development, Fedora is reigning king atm
I just wish I could pay extra for MS without the data mining
Not that much :D
Tried fedora in the past, never got comfortable with it
Or just work on dark sites, no datamining 🤣
I ran fedora core for a few years, I liked it
You can turn off pretty much 99% of telemetry with Group Policy... or even redirect it to your own server so you can do the analytics yourself
Which I wouldnt recommend since you realize what they are sniffing at that point
and its pretty dirty
Yeah it's pretty bad
oh.. Pop is ubuntu based...
I'll try Pop 😄
And they clean up Ubuntus BS for you
so thats nice
mfw Ubuntu Server has ads in the MOTD
ubuntu 🤢
Agreed
No reason to run it as a server anyways
There is just too many better options now
CentOS for standard linux style servers
SmartOS for Hypervisor (or ESXi if you want)
Alpine for Container VM's
Debian is great for that stuff that needs to run forever and not be touched
Really just need to get docker/kubernetes/prometheus etc up and running
I run almost purely containers at this point so lightweight host OS as needed
Although I'm using proxmox as the hypervisors
I could switch out to something else but debian is working for me
Dont fix what aint broke
And it's stable af
ZFS on linux seems to be maturing as well
Plus debian wiki is just such a gold standard
Beautiful beautiful documentation
Take note traefik
Oofph
I don't enjoy the low level linux admin sort of stuff anyways
I'd much rather leverage other peoples work :D
You ever tried Rancher 2?
Kubernetes becomes a breeze
Especially if you run as many hosts and have as many sites as I currently run
love me some automation
I installed 3 master nodes of k3s and helm then installed rancher with helm
I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be done
They also have the "install rancher on docker then use that to build rke" style
🤷♂️
You did it correctly
Their documentation is a bit contradictary sometimes
Home Assistant now has Alexa and Google Home support but at what cost? There's something they're not telling you.
What is Home Assistant? Home Assistant is a beautiful way to take control of your Smart Home "cloud free" thanks to it's LoveLace dashboard and local control ...
Some of it pushes you to rke, some to k3s, some to docker>rancher>rke
Rancher isnt doing great with their documentation
It's great having 3 master nodes though. That can take worker loads. Probably not enterprise best practice but this is home
So not shocked
Ive had to edit the docs myself to fix shit tons of times
And write 2 pages myself so far
Too bad my storage isn't highly available. But ceph is hard at home scale
but community is picking up where they are slacking so far
I'll probably try and submit some fixes once I know a bit more of what I'm doing
Home assistant community is full to the brim with nerds
Yes Paul.... its a DIY community for tech
they are lovely nerds
Fine, ill take it
It's 5AM and I haven't slept in 4 days so gnite my lovely fellow nerds
Looking at that Paul Hibbert video it seems like it should be even more clearly explained that how to get things work can be found in the documentation
hi HA discord, I'm looking for a discord to discuss smart lighting solutions, any idea ?

Considering Paul Hibbert thinks Beats are a good set of headphones to judge other headphones by... I'm not going to take too much notice of his opinions.
I have no idea who Paul Hibbert is
I didn't until 10 minutes ago when I watched that video up there ^ https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/397426163649216512/726368758498721883
@rare condor how do they power remote monitoring in Antarctica during winter?
Our VHF repeaters use wind and solar. Really beefy double bearing vertical axis generators that can withstand +100 knot winds
We bought the single bearing ones once due to budgetary constraints. They lasted 6 months.
At Casey around 10% of power came from Solar rest was diesel generators
Such diesel wow
I mean more monitoring setups off camp
Take some of my driveway snow @hushed basalt https://imgur.com/gallery/RXaUWIt
Nah got enough
Sideways snow
We have that where I was born
to the extent that it was sometimes better to drive without the headlights on
Yeah some mornings it’s better to turn my headlamp off.
Right now it’s the middle of summer. I’d prefer all your snow to anything above about 25C
We have a blazing summer right now in Norway
was 21 at 6am this morning, and I was sweating like a pig in the hotel room last night
was 31 in the daytime, and currently 31 again now
too hot for me 🥵
Lol 30s
oof Fetching 8236 patches.....10....20....30....40....50....60....70....80....90....100....110....120....130....140....150....160....170....180....190....200....210....220....230....240....250....260....270....280....290....300....310....320....330....340....350....360....370....380....390....400....410....420....430....440....450....460....470....480....490....500....510....520....530....540....550....560....570....580....590....600....610....620....630....640....650....660....670....680....690....700....710....720....730....740....750....760....770....780....790....800.
30 is cool
Aussie summer winter
31 and that snow?!
no, it's an older video
Oh ok, that makes much more sense
think it was from november or something
we haven't had much snow this side of new year
still getting used to that after living 13 years in the south
in the north we have snow from september to june
Wasn't there only like 2-3 days with snow last season?
That's 2-3 days more than I've had last century
it was a shitty season
we had snow for probably at most 20+ days total
rest was rain
while in my hometown they had 2+ meters of snow from january to end of may 🤣
Pretty sure I figured out the rsnapshot in bsd @mild tapir , the jail was running 11.2, so doing an upgrade of the jail now
Plex successfully upgraded from 11.2-RELEASE-p14 to 11.3-RELEASE-p10!
NO
it was not that
@orchid rose I think it's more the way the documentation is written. It's written as a half manual half technical data hybrid from my point of view. In such DIY technical communities, it's expected that you would have some sort of knowledge into the basics of the system on which whatever tool/application runs on. In this case: Linux. It should also be expected that you did research into the interfacing products. In this case things like Z-Wave, Zigbee, and WiFi. Instead of having more specific how-to on the documentation, it needs to be written more on how it works and what's going on in the background.
🤣
From there you should have the ability to figure out the smaller pieces required to make it work.
@clear ferry yeah I doubt it would be the host/jails version
it was the only difference between the working jail and the not working jail
and 11.2 is EOL anyway, so good to get it up
Have you tried doing bash rsnapshotd?
It's a shot in the dark but if that worked then it would give away what's really going on.
But if I was being the meme me my response would be "docker it"
Especially since things like rsyncing, snapshoting, and backing up volumes is insanely easy
docker is fine, but running most of my services in jails now, under freenas, my docker host is just a bhyve vm which isn't very powerful 🤣
and giving plex direct access to the zpools instead of presenting the data over smb or nfs is preferable for sure 😛
There is defintly something wrong with the whole jail
after the upgrade perl doesn't work either
Good thing jails are disposable
Wtf is a jail
has bars....bed and free food
@hushed basalt same concept as a container I believe
But freebsd calls them "jails"
Its how they spell gaol, telco
🤣


Helpful lol
Jails are much more mature and are native to FreeBSD. They can natively support things like ZFS in addition. LXC is the equiv to Jails in Linux.
Chroot is just a tool to drop in to an env using the base fs of the env as the shell home/root
Dockers are newer however more flexible. They also have much better/more orchestration tools in addition. Combine that with the mass amount of premade images avail, Ci/CD, etc, Docker has its appeal.
Its worth noting that using docker and container interchangeably is actually disingenuous too. The market is slowly moving away from docker as the engine and moving to things like containerd + OSI Models. Some examples of this is podman and Firecracker (more akin to Micro-VM's now).
Yeah that about sums it up as easily as I can get it. Hope this info is helpful
@dull chasm I will strike you down
Im only in Texas because of Oil... and the Phillips 66/Conoco Merger+Split
Honestly, not the best state to be in rn either
Its honestly pissing me off how bad its being handled
Im about to resign from my EMT position thanks to it
I dont need to deal with that stuff
louisiana is great and always will be .....but i respect the place that has raised me
Ive had one strain of COVID already and I dont need another of the damn thing
Louisiana is great, the officials... ugh
I was born in Lake Charles, where the Golden Nugget and La Burge is. I have hunting land out there. Always fun to go deer hunting out there
oh ...barely louisana .... 🤣
Hey... it accounts for lots of the GDP that passes through it
All the refineries
Mmmm fresh smell of plastics
My ""family"" tho is spread through New Orleans and Lake Charles
and then there is me..
lake charles is prolly less than 10% of plants in louisana ...... look at norco ...BR ....for example
in texas
Its not the amount of plants but whats being produced in them
Lots of the plants in Louisiana are doing small margin high use by-product production
Lake Charles, Baton Rouge and Port Allen are the 3 big high margin producer and export makers
BR I think has the highest econ production of the plants rn I believe. The info I have is a year old at this point tho
Wait 10PM? Is that like Quebec
Lol
@mild tapir yeah it kinda bothers me when people say "dockers" instead of containers lol
there is something faster?
Hardwood is finished. Time to get the most important piece of furniture setup
Master also came out nice. Worth the money. Screw carpet
so better sound than that soundbar can provide?
That's being replaced with my Polk Audio setup since the media room now has a new system

A nice receiver driving them still does well today
The rest of the house is kitted with blue sound systems
