they do? how many of them go to college and become lawyers ?
_greater chance to become the 1% of you are from the 1% _ 
how manny of them can afford going to a good lawschool
Good thing you don't need to go to law school to be successful!
no, but it should be a basic human right that you can become a lawyer if you want, not only if you have rich parents
you should not be limited because your parents are poor, you should not be judged or have your path maped out for you before you are even born
if you wanna study to become something you should have the same right and same opportunity for it as everyone else
@brazen fable no not everyone is, but they should have the RIGHT to be it if they want
The vast majority of people can't even make it into law school because they simply don't have the brains fo rit
I actually had a friend who made a successful internet company when he was 19, then sold it when he was 25, then went to law school and got his degree, then he made great internet webpages that you could just fill in forms online to resign from the Norwegian church without having to ever speak to them 
it should be THEM that say i am not cut out to be a doctor.. it should NOT be society that tells them "you cant be a doctor because we think you are not worthy due to beeing boorn in the wrong family"
Now he does law for copyright matters, like piracy
Except that doesn't happen
it happens all the time
Because USA tries to extract people data from ips, which we don't do for them 
ALL the time
If you've got the grades for it, you can get into law school. It's really that simple
Most colleges will even give people hardship scholarships if they work hard enough
Here anyone can get into any study they want if there is room 
how? when lawschool is like 100k $ per year, and your parents are struggling just to afford food? HOW do you afford that school?
Scholarships. It happens all the time
Scholarship 🤢
yea, so out of 100k poor kids that want to become doctors, 10 of them get a scholarship, out of 100k rich kids that want to be come doctors 100k of them can study for it.. yea, your right, thats super fair and even playfield
the kids are not at all judged before they are even born
It is fair. American doctors are the top 1% of the 1%. We're Extremely strict on who we allow to be a doctor here
Mmmmmm American exceptionalism
No amount of money can make you doctor if you don't have the brain pan for it
no you are not.. you are extreamly strict to what poor kids can become doctors, you are extreamly generous with what rich kids can
Most med school students wash out in the 1st year
Lmao how are you going to tell me what our system is. You've already demonstrated you literally know next to nothing on how our system works
Jeff Bezos's kids couldn't even be a doctor if they weren't smart enough
if 95% of your population cant even enter the classroom because they cant afford it.. how do you expect to only have the best people make it through the classes? most of your smartest kids cant even make it into the classroom because its beeing gated by money requirements
Except that's not the case either. You're just making shit up
you are using a system where money decide what education you get, and then telling "not everyone is cut out for high education".. well.. obviously not, because the poor ones are clearly not "cut out" for it in that equation
tho, it got nothing to do with brain, and all to do with money
Except that's not what happens
That system you're referring to is 100% all in your head
you do realize poor kids can be smarter than rich ones right :D?
how do they afford the tuition for harward? yale?
You don't have a right to attend ivy league schools lmao
nor are they a requirement to success
if you are smart enough you should be alowed into them, it should not be decided by money, it should be decided on your intellect
It's up to the schools. They're private institutions
We have private and public institutions, and it works well
and its a hughe issue
No, it's really not
and that's why America is top dog
We're the strongest, most powerful, and most influential nation on the planet
American exceptionalism again
get born rich - get the easyroad to good education, get boorn poor - get into a horrible crappy school that wont teach you shit
but its all even
so
america, the country litteraly ALL other countries make fun of is "top dog" ?
hell even the 3rd world countries make fun of usa
I couldn't care less what envious children say
The vast majority of that is just straight up envy TBH.
no, its realy not 😛
Elitism and exceptionalism works.
we all consider you the dumbes country in the world
Who cares
=3
That's a the beauty of it. None of what the EU says matters
well not in us ofc, but tbf, none of what us say we care about either 😄
Sure you do
We control all the major trade routes, we control.. pretty much everything
what trade routes? most of our trades are done inside eu mate
And people should be happy we're benevolent and not tyrants like China
You underestimating the importance of naval trade routes
you are tyrants, you invade every country you can that have something you want, mostly oil
Lol no.
If we were truly tyrants you wouldn't be allowed to have the opinions you have
You'd be dead.
except you dont realy have any say in eu, about anything, so noone is very scared 😄
Uh, we could smash the EU in under a month
😄 thats just plain dumb xD
Do you have any idea just how big, and quite frankly advanced our military is?
Just to put it into perspective, the city of New York has the 3rd largest armed force on the planet.
and they're a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of our armed forces
what would happen is there would be nukes going out everything, and USA would be completly destroyd alongside EU.. it would be mutual destruction
@clear ferry you might need to shut this down
and thats why noone can do anything to the other, because it would destroy both sides
Nah. America would be fine. There are ways to mitigate nukes
@light trout
and thats why neither side is scared of the other, because neither side can actually do anything 😛
I suggest reading the channel topic before angry möds appear
but yea, @hushed basalt is right, this is not the place
Fair enough.
Is it that hard to keep this discussion dead?
🤷🏼♂️
Microinverters vs optimisers
3...2...1.. fight
Curly braces vs indentation scope
Curly boi to you thanks
i gotta say, god damn i like the unifi stuff, feels like i am finnaly happy with my home network
I have a UDM pro, while having it's flaws, i think it's a great device
It's got a ton of potential. Right now i'm switching back and forth between that and a pfsense box
I like my ER-X and AC lite combo
Although my unifi AC HD has been pretty rock solid, i use it for my IoT stuff
My "Fast" wifi ax is on Aruba 515's
i've had so much issues with basic consumer network stuff before, like the router, switch, wifi AP all in one devices.. but now when i got myself a propper usg, 24port unifi switch, 8port PoE switch and propper aps... i've not had a single issue
@clear ferry 👆🏻. $30.00 for cheese 🤣
oh yeah, never go consumer
and the PoE on the switches is realy nice, can controll it from home assistant, so i can shut hte power to my ip cams off when i am home
i got this thing about beeing on camera, even when its my own cameras 😄
I have one camera inside, but it's not directly accessible from the internet so I'm ok with it
even more so when one of the is pointed to the poolarea where people go both topless and naked
all my cameras are outside, and none of them can access internet, i still dont want them on when people are home 😛
As in, it's restricted to LAN only, and you'd have to log in to my home assistant frontend to view it
I have like... 16 cameras inside
holy shit, thats a shitton of cams :O? they all recording or?
It's only accessible remotely when I leave
how do you deal with that storage need?
i got 3 cameras total 😛 all outside, 1 on the frontyard and 2 on back
inside cameras do not record at all unless i flip it on for vacation
i live in one of those.. chain houses or whatever its called.. so i got neighboors on both sides, so only got yard on the front and back of house
inside cameras are physically disconnected from the internet too unless i turn on a switch
it's mainly so i can glance and see the whole house
and to keep on eye on things when im out
Microinverters vs optimisers
@hushed basalt I'm planning on installing 10kW of PV array and actually want to know this. Which s better?
Not sure
i figured id have no need for inside cameras aslong as i cover the outside propperly
I have plenty of storage
What is consuming so much?
40T, not bad, but thats what ya need for storeing all those movies and tvshows 😉
And the bulk of my cameras are only 1080p
I have 2 4k cameras that cover the entrances
"only" 😛 i got 3x 720p
@young sigil do you have any whole house power monitoring
Hi there, what would be the correct channel to ask for some questions regarding issues with MQTT?
tho, not like i realy need the cameras tbf, i live in one of those places where people barly lock their doors when going away
@west moss you should ask @mild tapir about unifi 🤢 🤢 🤢
its just more for fun 😄
#integrations-archived @dire mortar
@clever mortar Thanks
My NIC will get here next week
Then I can use a real router
Bye bye tomato 🍅
Hello wireguard, haproxy and intrusion detection
I should put a honeypot ssh on port 22 and see what happens
I have a Shelly EM monitoring my light and power and heating circuits.
@hushed basalt just put wiregaurd in a vm
it's super easy
and that way you can keep it compartmentalized
What's the advantage of doing that over opnsense
I'm not married to it though.
But what's the real world benefit of adding another vm vs a plugin
There's always a cost to more panes of glass to manage
i guess it depends if you have an always on machine in your house or not
but having it in a vm makes it super easy to maintain and move
like if i upgrade my machine it's a couple of clicks and im up and running on a new machine in a few seconds
I'm not a fan of doing the same work more than once
and i keep it easy to go because i keep a blank ubuntu vm ready to be cloned
just run updates, clone, deploy
Router is seperate device, not running VMs right?
I am firm believer in making router embedded and separate from hypervisor which runs your homelab setup
I don't want to buy another box,
Plus my undercloud is seperate,
Hypervisors never get rebooted except for after upgrades,
Plus I can just fire it back up on another node if it happened to crash after an kernel upgrade
honestly KISS approach has many advantages, keeping router "dumb" isn't all that bad. Like Edgerouter X for $60 is bliss for sub gigabit ethernet
I really need a lot more features than an edgerouterx could provide
I understand the appeal I ran pfsense on a vm and gave up on it after I needed to reboot for proxmox upgrades or a vm locked the entire hypervisor (happened a couple of times)
It was because I was doing PCIE passthru on unsupported hardware
and doing nasty kernel patches on latest kernel
But I feel the snapshotting and migratability of using a hypervisor outweigh the cons
Ok just plan carefully
and remember there is another option when your wife shouts at you at 8pm because you updated wireguard and dkms broke something
@hushed basalt just run pfsense \ opnsense and HARP, tada
What's it like though if I do a bad upgrade on a baremetal router and it dies
I keep my services seperate for this reason
Like wg, openvpn, dns server, pihole etc
But in fairness I am just some kid, who has never worked in enterprise IT, so I may not be a good metric to base on.
Yeah runs in LXC container
High avaliablity router protocol or whatever they called it
run two instances of pfsense, sync them
one virtual, one physical
aye, I migrated to opnsense this year
pfsense guys have gotten too neckbeardy
CARP they called it
is this your old desktop?
the new router server
I have 3 x optiplex 9020s
And 1 x old desktop
The desktop has my storage and my core services
Then I'm running my homelab spread out across the nodes
Those optiplex 9020s are great see them on ozbargian for sub $100 often
And I'll use one or two optiplexes for opnsense
If you are okay with 3 x sata ports they're great
so no ECC RAM, IPMI or server stuff though
shh.. don't tell zfs fans that, they will crucify you
No ECC is okay though. Not great not terrible
I'm pretty sure one of the ZFS architects said there's nothing special about ZFS that makes it need ECC more or less than any other storage
Just neckbeards neckbearding out
you'll be fine, even though ECC is always preferred for anything really
pretty much but checksuming can't be 100% assured
Yeah it's preferred but it's no different to not using ecc on your desktop storage
I do reccomend you look into a SLOG device though if you are running without ECC and other features
If your data gets corrupted there it'll stay corrupted when you move it to your server
tbh more likely to mess things up from lack of knowledge 99% of time, people invest in ECC then do no backups and do silly things like running rm as root user
Risk = impact x likelyhood
ITIL?
I have no idea what any of those mean
^
Sounds like something you put on a certificate and frame and put it on your cubicle wall
ITIL, formerly an acronym for Information Technology Infrastructure Library, is a set of detailed practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business.
ITIL describes processes, procedures, tasks, and checklists which are n...
IT has never aligned with business :D
If you go by /r/sysadmin
The whole company exists to support IT
/r/sysadmin is just a symbolic link for /r/bofh or /u/tinkerer
Most data doesn't need ECC because either backups or it can be replicated
@clever mortar 
Not entirely true Scolias
For home use? Absolutely true
Corruption will just get backed up
It's just a trade off
Backups will do jack if it's corrupted when being uploaded to the main server
As in in memory on the main file server
Like dust on a scanner's plate glass. All those backups will have the same corruption
If it can be replicated sure, but who uses ZFS for linuxisos.
@clear ferry
Who should anyways
I like verification at the application layer
Like resilio sync, usenet, bittorrent etc
Which is why we would prefer all customers to do three site replication of all writes synchronous, but that is too much latency still 🤣
Verification at every layer...
Will all scrub data on the target destination and compare against sources checksums
I come from film and tv background
Data wrangling
Checksum on source read, checksum on targets, checksum on source read again. Compare three ways.
If it fails do it all again
you forgot the checksum of the checksum of the checksum of the...
It's the only way to be sure
Can't reshoot the commercial
Plus you need ass coverage
"this media is exactly what was on the cards, here are logs and checksums and thumbnails"
You don't want people trying to throw you under the bus when they mishandle the footage after you give it to them
@hushed basalt By the way I got a project to work on from the Defence Science Technology Group. Robots based, can't say much else 😦
I got new fans for my UPS
I just need to get a soldering iron
Or some dupont crimping sets
still waiting for my TS100 
Nah, the USBc is handy, but I preferred what I read about the TS100
Ts80p is 30w with a much better controller
I am using a Weller Iron, I feel like an iron should be once in lifetime purchase
100w is way more than you need for 99% of things
no need to buy new iron
The wellers I seen at the $200 range have a habit of catching on fire
It has a microcontroller
Australia
I literally bought everything from amazon at that time
yeah, I respect EEVBlog but dave was over the top on this, its less than ideal but not a hazard
regardless poor form from weller in both engineering and PR
I entertained the idea of getting myself kitted up and doing some cable assembly freelancing
But that's a distraction from me getting employed as a developer
Good morning
Thought about getting a nice JBC
Yeah the Journal of Biological Chemistry is a good journal
So I am looking for some recommendations please.. I will be having a new home built and I want to make sure I am thinking about everything or at least as much as possible and wanted to get suggestions as to what things to consider and even what vendors to use. I am using Home Assistant and I know I am going to want Ethernet to every room, ethernet run for security cameras etc.... Thinking I would want to automate the doors and doorbells etc... Any good site recommendations that might have checklists that you can recommend?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to learn the hass. I am currently running on RPI with docker. But I cannot access any web server files (html or js etc). I couldn't even figure out what kind of web server architecture working in the background and broadcasting from the 8123 port. Is this normal or is it my lack? My academic advisor suggested that I use the platform in my MSc thesis. But I need to make visual additions especially on login page and home page, such as adding university logo, adding my name and surname and student information. But I couldn't even change the theme, especially for the login screen. I would be very happy if you could support me.
Wtf phaserfpv
They had the ts80p listed for $160 before the EOFY
And dropped it down to $130 now
Good thing I didn't preorder
Sneaky buggers
@storm canyon as long as you run ethernet and possibly speaker cable your fine, hardware choices can be made later
are you going to use custom fw on it?
Active and neutral to light switches
The ts80p, not sure
I'll wait a while to see what shakes out
It's only been out for a month
@hushed basalt yeah that is a good one
@storm canyon 100% agree active + neutral everywhere
I think I am going to ask for the deep junction boxes also
Yep
also electrical cabinet (DIN) with atleast 50 std module spaces
Do americans use DIN in their cabinets
nope
RIP
r u american?
I am yes
DIN plugs what where ?
nvm.
Din rail
When someone says DIN in norway we think of stereo systems in the 70s
For audio I was just going to use my Google Mini's since I am not a big music guy
In USA they use crappy MCBs which are panel mount and are gross
but for the living room I was going to ahve the wiring run for surround sound
Looks like din
yep europe uses DIN
🇪🇺
@clear ferry Is that just one house?
That would probably look like a bigger apartment imo
My house has 22 or so fuses, plus ground stuff and meters
@clever mortar got another UK vocab question
we don't use different words for breakers (sikringer) and fuses (sikringer)
ah
so you have bread pudding and Yorkshire pudding
Yes
are you familiar with what we call pudding in the US?
heh, this came up the other day
Well, yours are the "sweet" ones
Yorkshire pudding 🤤
So yeah, see channel history 😛
I am from Yorkshire my mum cooks Yorkshire pudding all the time. It sucks, its plain and horrible with gravy.
This is what I grew up with though, I remember plucking out broken fuses often 🤣
My whole family would disown me knowing what I said ...
so you call the dish that's served cold pudding as well?
that's revenge
@clear ferry ceramic fuse?
yep
this is an (open) american circuit breaker panel
quite normal until the mid 80s in norway
the wiring is usually covered
🤮🤮🤮🤮
load center
american breakers are disgusting
what's wrong with that lol
@last dirge hope you held on 9% gain premarket 😀
we have BOFAs though
@tidal bronze yeah, I think I'm gonna watch today
Aluminium contacts
lack of regulated MEN
poor insulation
exposed wiring contacts
use of mixed tapped voltages
use of mixed tapped voltages via MCB
...but don't forget, we have BOFAs
a very valid point
eh tapped voltages are 120 and -120 but both 120 in reference to neutral
transformer center tap
Bastard Operators From Arkansas @scenic radish ?
ok... but what do you think about the fact that we have BOFAs @rare condor ?
its stupid running tapped voltages and referencing like that
definitely odd but allows for easy 240v if you span the buss
240v ? not on my murican soil ! 🤠
I haven't heard of BOFA in context before?
BOFA DEEZ NUTS
🤣
They run 208v in industrial as well
240v secondary side transformer for domestic. 208v secondary for industrial. And 2 phase 208v phase to phase for apartments...
So confusing
@hushed basalt Fun fact: common misconception is that you can run ELV over LV wiring at right angles, this isn't true ACMA requires use of conduit. I had heard many sparky's repeat this but I asked Energy Safe Victoria they referred me to ACMA who stated according to AUSTRALIAN STANDARD AS/ACIF S009:2006. anyone running ELV wiring in AUS basically needs to insulate it with conduit anytime it crosses any 230v cable. Which is insane, literally half of the sparky's are ignoring the code, because its just ELV.
208v because they send 2 of the 3 phases to each unit
Yeah I never let them touch
The right angle confusion probably comes from the fact you shouldn't run them in parallel because of inductance
Not you can let them touch if they're right angle
Sparkies never do legal elv installs though
I have run 12v wiring when I was 14 at parents house that would not be compliant now. They are selling soon so need to redo that. I just strung accross attic
@clear ferry we use 240V for some things (like air conditioning)
which require stupid plugs

no
I just use cable clips as cable tie anchor points on the roof timbers
sometimes hard wired
yeah i don't have any 240V outlets, just hardwired for AC
sure but seen US dryers and air cons use weird plugs before
i have a 240v outlet for my dryer
yes they do
the only 240V outlets in my house are for things that usually can leave the house
dryer, EVSE
4 pin carries 120, -120, neutral, ground
We use the same outlets for our phone chargers to our dryers :D
and they have weird plugs
3 pin drops the neutral (when it doesn't need 120 only)
exactly I can move my dryer / 2400w heater to my bedroom because electrical system is not single use
You won't win Hax
Nothing to win.
They think we're the weird ones because we have switches on our outlets
I love feeling warm from my 2400w plug-in heater 😛
something like an AC unit or an electric car charger doesn't need 120. the dryer would typically use the 120 for the control electronics and possibly the motor but keeps 240 for the heating element
ah nice, i've seen some that drop it
I know, its ok, they just haven't experienced the bliss of proper wiring
And single phase 240v
@wet pilot there's 2 in the garage
Or Metric
one's on a 3-40 one's on a 15-40
I'll stop now
When did you start ?
The joy of having a huntsman spider crawl across your windscreen
too much G&T tonight
trust me @rare condor i wish we used metric
i actually already use celcius for some things
yay!
like the temperature of your SICK BURNS @scenic radish ?
1000000 C
How many Fahrenheits in a gallon?
@scenic radish plz convince rest of US
Shots shots shots
I use inches and feet a lot though haha
Film and tv is imperial
Except in Europe but they're weird anyways
I was at Bunnings today buying stuff for volunteering today and old guy asked me how many feet of wire I needed, felt jarring, when I said 3 meters he used ruler. Didn't know older Aussies referenced feet ...
3m = 9.9 ft
When did we change from imperial
oh damn, i actually know a few conversions. 1 pound == 2.2 kg
Or 1ft to a ruler
Film and TV be like. "okay we're on 12'8" on the 50mm lens."
Lol there was Metric Conversion Group in Aus, trying to convince people to use Metric. Many people rejected the notion and avoided use of metric goods in Retail.
Anyone want to get what I am programming:
I used to be able to do C to F in my head
but

i know its a netgear device, but i still cant figure out wtf it is
every device in my home is accounted for i think
atleast all i can remember
but i cant figure out wich this one is
Ignore atx , it isn't expensive so he isn't happy...
Wait is oz an weight or a volume
both
@unreal orbit ever since i moved away from supervised i've been more likely to update to .0 releases and actually try out the betas for that matter
oz is weight, fluid ounce is volume
you moved away fom supervised 😦
FLOZ
realy? i felt like supervised is easier to update?
@rare condor long time ago heh
Shitty to troubleshoot
@west moss non-supervised is easier to troubleshoot

LOL
back when updates used to be a git pull
bbl feckers, picking up kid in kindergarten
@scenic radish I usually spin them up in a dev/test instance, but I'm too much of a coward to run it in prod immediately
though after switching to zwave2mqtt I'm not really worried about breaking anything
zwave2mqtt good? its on my todo list but not gotten around to it
Out of interest is @ _ all disabled?
Ounce and ounce .. not confusing at all
just gotten back to my home assistant stuff and is kinda redoing everything from the ground up, as i havnt done any updates in like 1+ year
On my to-do too, but I have 4 zwave devices, I don't use
zwave is for rich people, poor plebs like me use zigbee
Zigbee 4 lyfe
Zwave isn't a real thing in Australia
porque no?
Zwave being expensive is kind of a meme at this point. It's marginally more expensive at worst
I use LORA on most of my outdoor sensors
We have like 0.5% of zwave devices available
only thing i was missing with zwave was rotary dimmers.. but they finnaly arrived with the SR-ZV2835RAC, so i ordered 10 right away (https://www.m.nu/dimmer/z-wave-vriddimmer)
Z-Wave dimmrar är trådlösa och smarta! Installationen är enkel och du styr via sensor eller mobil. Hitta allt du behöver på M.nu.
10...
@unreal orbit it's atleast 3-4 the price here
@clear ferry for what device?
Any
rotary dimmer was the only thing i realy wanted, and i couldnt find it for neither zigbee nor zwave
why? i order 10, try one out and if i dont like it i just send the others back
its full refund
fair enough
saves me having to wait for another delivery time
buttons
because i absolutly HATE the buttons ones
Why?
dimmers should be rotary or not at all
agreed
lol I never actually touch the switch on the wall
besides, i cant fit those dimmers in eu switch houses
we got different formfactos on our switches here
Am I ever going to use 32767 litres of water a month... hmmm...
depeds on what you gonna do
My system breaks if I use over 32767 litres of water.
I could make it better so it doesn't do that but like thats a lot of water
depends on how big the household is and if your watering your garden and stuff alot
or filling a pool every year
our last water bill's usage was approximately 36811 liters
but that's a two month cycle
what the hell
normaly i doubt youd go over it, but on some dates i think you can, like if you fill up a pool for example
I can no longer use the arrows in quick switcher in window to go left
I can use the up, down, and right arrows
id rather solve so it does not break rather than bank on never going over the limit tbh haxxa
Yeah but I have run out of memory so I need to remove features of other projects in PLC if I want it to work
The 8kB limit is hurting me here
really under specced for what I am doing
connect your water mains switch to ha, then when you get close to limit just stop the water, family have to go out and shower in the rain instead 😄
lol sorted
any advice on running ntp server, never done it any recomended linux apps
Do americans empty their pools in winter?
think that depends on where you live
Most dont. They put a cover on it though
@rare condor I use chrony
I always hated taking covers off pools
Ruins the spontaneity of jumping in for a dip
@scenic radish is it good?
Wind it up, swim, wind it back out. Looks like crap and takes up deck space
well i mean... your still not jumping in fully clothed
A fully automated pool cover would be awesome
so the spontaneity is already gone anyway
Yeah, seems to work well. My camera uses it for its timestamp since it's restricted to LAN only @rare condor
also, the hardcover dome ones have a door you easly open in a second
@scenic radish yeah my PLC needs it to update RTC to avoid drift of 80hrs per year
also VLAN'ed and isolated
I'm not sure how domes go with heat retention and evaporation loss though
@scenic radish Thanks it was available as supervised addon and seems to work, I appreciate your guidance
if I do ctrl + alt + tab I can do whatever I want with the arrows
but if I'm holding alt to keep the menu up it closes if I use the left arrow
To keep you happy 😛
Oooh these 8TB drives are helium
Make sure to get SMR, I know the internet loves those 😛
Most bigger ones are
PROXMOX 💕
Almost all over 6TB would be if memory serves right
I didn't think they were nowadays
I dunno
Do you even know what a HDD looks like anymore atx
What drives are they?
8TB WD Elements
Need to do a burn in test before I shuck them
Maybe I'll shuck them anyways and put bricks back inside and send them back to Amazon
No no, I wouldn't do that
Not unless I'm ordering on Tediores account
I shucked 4 10tb drives
smartctl -t long /dev/<device>
now to determine whether or not I should open a service desk ticket for this 🙂
Don't you not want your raidz to be too fat anyway
I'm expecting early next year
It will be ages before it reaches linux :/
Why don't you just mirror stripe, disks are cheap
Linux 🤢
zfs on linux
Zfs on Linux is probably nice, but I prefer it in a proper kernel 
oofph
yes licencing etc. but meh
Linus is rolling in his bed
Linus won't even include ot
ubuntu uses it, it works
Linus can be mildly arrogant at times
Same with Richard Stallman
I'm not looking forward to dealing with developer egos
he can be obtuse at times
At least I admit I am a terrible developer who writes woeful code and should not be in charge of the stuff I am
Seems to be a lot of god complexes from what I can see
yep and a lot on the spectrum who can't handle people or teamwork
I spent enough time in my career alone
I miss people
Telstra was the worst, inside your own head all day
Screw working alone 40-50 hours a week
People 🤢
I enjoy working from home, I can get up when I want, do garden work when I don't have anything special to do and I can bring and pick up my daughter from kindergarten every day
But then again, I usually only was in the office once a month before
But heck , I could do two of those three things before Corona tbh
Just don't have to be stuck in traffic queues any more
you mean that once a month
you dont have to be stuck in traffic
im glad such a burden was lifted off of your shoulders
THE RONA
No, every day of the week 
But then again, I usually only was in the office once a month before
@clear ferry
Before I would have to work with customers most days in the week
Office is only one part
Customers is another
Mostly
Was probably 40/60 onsite / home office one week, and 60/40 the next etc
Sometimes I was onsite 7 days a week
Sometimes 0
@shy comet creality ender pro 3 is on sale for $199. Good deal?
@last plaza I see 239
Too lazy for 3D printer.... takes time and I don’t have at the moment.
Check out micro center @last dirge
They are on sale everywhere
I'm going to buy one while on vacation now, so it's delivered when I get home
HMMMMM
Vacationing during a pandemic 🤔
Probably a good toy for the holidays. Need to find good space for it too.
I'd have to learn more software if I got that
my current printer does all of the slicing and support automagically
That would be fun.
@unreal orbit we have in reality no new cases, and country doesn't allow tourists in, or us out
So we are driving north to grandparents
Ah, domestic vacation. Makes sense
Staycation
gotta hit up Costco for some rum and vodka so I can make myself fruity drinks and pretend I'm still on vacation
My colleague had pre-booked 5 trips to France to his vacation home, couldn't go for four of them so far
Next one coming up soon
What are you going to do with all that money you save by canceling your vacation? Buy more gadgets
we are at our peak where i live now -.- been working from home for ages now and we are just at the peak -.-'
i miss my work collegues
Sweden 🤢
@last plaza if yesterday is any indication, pay taxes
We cancelled our trip to Hawaii in April. Hawaiian Airlines was trying to get us to just reschedule. I'm like, nah https://tenor.com/view/chinesenewyear-gif-5012582
We probably won't allow people to come in from Sweden this year
yea most dont
ive barley left the house in 3 months so i havnt noticed much difference 😄
Sweden and the us are probably going to be on the you are not welcome list for most of Europe this year
yea, they propperly screwed up here
tho, with that said.. im glad we didnt have full lockdown.. i've gotten so damn much work done on the house already
I am at the chiropractor’s office.
bloody renovated half the house during the corona isolation 😛
I've been working all through the pandemic, just remotely mostly 
couldnt do that if i was not allowed to go to the "non essential" stores
yea, ive been working from home, so still been working, but i miss the office
🤢
i work at a small company (5 people) and damn its fun at the office, freaking r-tards i work with 😄
also, nice to get a break from the wife from time to time 😄

@unreal orbit great show
where is the check config button nowdays?
1950 🤣
@west moss configuration > server controls
NO HOME ASSISTANT SUPPORT HERE (look at the other channels for that). NO POLITICS OR RELIGION!
BE CIVIL to one another or get BANNED permanently.
that 2
🚔 🚔 🚔
bake 'em away, toys
aight sorry for asking here, either way, config -> server controls dont have it, ill figure it out
possible solution in #frontend-archived
They forced me to watch a video on a cassette - all I see is static and horizontal lines. Tape is worn out.
urgh, updating an superold homeassistant config to new version, this is gonna take time and not be fun at all -.-'
what
😂
@scenic radish mandatory IVF screening 
@tidal bronze have you listened to James Taylor Fire and Ice on Vinyl? amazing
amazing how some of these old tracks have more dynamics then modern stuff
@dull chasm dsotm on vinyl is Hella better
dsotm?
Dark side of the moon
No will try to get that record. You should this too
who is that?
Alicia keys early stuff is ok, the rest I just find garbage mainstream tbh
Whoever mastered this, oh my.
i am borrowing a 200 project turntable and it really is pretty damn good
one band that is often forgot musically is YES ....i am listening to roundabout ....right now
You should try The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky then @tidal bronze
@dull chasm yes - roundabout you say
why don't we just call it Operation Wang Chung, ass
If your tweeters can handle this at 0db, you are all good 😂

@tidal bronze mine can LOL
but the best at master of music is clear

Try that track 0db att
i dont think you can overdrive the higher end Klispch with stuff at 20k hz
Still waiting on my Muse vinyls
@tidal bronze have to wait till wife is at least a hour away and @clever mortar is not close or he may hear music too ..... 1300 watts is a little loud
i might be under estimating ...what 3080 is close to 1k ....second amp is 750 and two subs at 150 each ......so maybe 2k watts LOL
1300w? What is this? Server power consumption for ants?
norwats have avr wattage like this ? i thought it was much less to fund the socialism
What are all the cool kids using for react frameworks nowadays
I figure it's time I force myself to learn some frontend skills
@dull chasm horns like this?
Cerwin Vega was always popular with the druggie car kids here
No like this
😀
@tidal bronze some copper for the EU fan boys 🤣
3" tweeters?
1" cermettalic horn
For vinyl I use all cerwin vega tops and 18" double throw subs. Pretty old school
these are the mix of old and new ...... two 10" woofers and i got a 12" sub and another 10" sub ....seperated by freq so i get benifit of quick responsive bass and long throw lower freq .... but i really need to go 10 and 15 to bridge gaps ....quick response and lower freq response
but i just bought property cash ...finaced truck and wil payoff in 6 months and the gotta buy 30k tractor ..... so subs may have to wait
audio and speakers are cooler than peppers ....i like peppers dont get me wrong .....but time and place 🤣
@last dirge you have to step up to us in a/v stage
They'll turn red probably
My mind was blown when I learned that every color bell pepper is the same plant at different ripeness
the dark green ones will turn red if I leave them on the plant
@unreal orbit this is false
green and red peppers are the same
yellow and orange peppers are the same
and apparently purple and white peppers are the same
a bell pepper is the same no matter of color ..... #bell_peppers_all_equal
@dull chasm I've spent my thousands upon thousands of dollars on AV gear already
it was just all 12V stuff
doesnt count
the ringing in my ears says otherwise
my truck and car has stock stuff and i could care less
you live in ga and not a proper redneck ....go figure
i know car audio can get crazy but was never my thing because it just seemed to get louder without a boost in quality
i run biamp on my front soundstage in living room
@last dirge huh, well then my mind is less blown. Apparently the whole male/female pepper thing is a myth too
#pepper_rights
yeah
all the flowers on a pepper are self-fertile
squash on the other hand
@unreal orbit ever seen asparagus ferns?
not to my knowledge
city slicker
Ive discovered my cherry tree isn't self pollinating, so I need to buy another one
Apparently we've had one Corona death since april
"we" as in your city?
The whole country
Source?
Nah, the graph was shit to read, we've had a few more
This one I trust more
I mean all the numbers I found were very low, but not that low
People stopped getting infected on my birthday 🎉
That looks fake, how the hell did all those stop beeing infected at the same time?

saw a recent report that the US state of Arizona had more new cases in one day than the entirety fo the EU
Hence interesting @light trout
What I take from the above graph is .... lots of people died
either they all died or norwat exported them to america
It's either that or the reporting is broken
@wet pilot over 50% of confirmed cases are in southern republican states I saw
only 250 total though, so that wouldn't account for ~7.5k infections
not surprising
Can't be infected if you deny the existence of the virus 
We've had 8800 total confirmed cases total it seems
The daily confirmed of California then 
lol my county outnumbers your entire country 2 to 1, so that's not surprising.
Density == more infections
Population density 🤢
Which is why I'm actually impressed it hasn't gone like wildfire in Africa
look at that nice flattened curve. Good thing we started reopening everything 👍
cant confirm new infected if you stop the testing
why is this repo marked as deprecated?
https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer
Well, or as trump said it gonna stop testing to get our numbers down
@clear ferry Trump staff: "but he was just joking"
Trump: "I was not joking"


heh
I hate asmr and i hate clicky keyboards, not sure how much worse it could get
Me too, but it's worth it for the ending.
rm -fr / 
You just squashed thousands of bugs right there!
Best way to make the code bug free is to delete the code.
rimraf!
it all started with me saying "hey, who can test these functions?"
which turned into someone figuring out that those functions were no longer necessary or used
and hadn't been for almost 2 years
@clever mortar That's too well known now. Something like sudo find / -type f -exec truncate -s0 {} \; is more fun!! It "truncates" unused zero bytes from files freeing up space!!!
Nice 😄
Pick your own variation as long as you never set the execute bit 🙂
Or you can have more fun with ACLS
Is learning Python very difficult? There's a Python learning bundle at Humble Bundle right now and from what I understand I could use Python to do a bunch of fun stuff in Home Assistant
Nah! Any idiot can do python.
Well that certainly does fit my description!
Pretty much
🙂
I'm pretty damn tech savvy, but I've never done anything coding-wise
I should learn at some point
Today we had a 400 lb person that wouldnt fit in the back of the whaaambulance
amazing
Last time I bothered touching coding was in 2001
@mild tapir you mean a skinny muurican 
I am a toothpick so what does that make me?


We actually had a fire truck pull up to take the guy
And little did I know we have XXL masks
because normal ones wouldnt fit
Everything is supersized here.
That’s what happens when you eat a bucket of popcorn and a gallon of coke for a 90 minute movie.
The house he was in was a dump
pizza boxes, food wrappers, etc everywhere on the floor
doesnt help hes a smoker too
Oh wow!
I had to take an antiacid just to not vomit
it was nasty
And the floor was like oily
I almost slipped 2 times
Oh yeah minor detail
His grandson was cooking meth in the basement
He probably can’t bend over to pickup stuff on the floor. That’s why I always find so much change in the parking lots. People drop money and can’t bend over to pick them up.
It was a sad situation. we walk in, find the dude and on the way out with the firemen, I get a wiff of that very identifiable smell.
So we get him loaded up and I nab one of the firefighters to come in behind me
we dug around until we found a door to a basement
We get down there and woah what an operation
The house will be torn down and the lot will be owned by the state
There was something like 400 lbs of meth
Bricked up along the far wall
as soon as we saw it, me and firefighter hauled ass out of there as the burners were on as to not inhale fumes
I dont know if the fat dude even knew about it but all we know is it was his grandson who was "taking care of him"
Wait... is this in New Mexico? Sounds a lot like Breaking Bad episode 🤣
anybody here keep bees?
@last dirge dat dem der be dem Norway berries you were talking about other day see 
what?
No bees here.
HWAT?
