If they can do it, so can any citizen with all the advantages of the system on their back

west moss
#

they do? how many of them go to college and become lawyers ?

clear ferry
#

_greater chance to become the 1% of you are from the 1% _ GWspenderSpongeTriggered

west moss
#

how manny of them can afford going to a good lawschool

brazen fable
#

Good thing you don't need to go to law school to be successful!

west moss
#

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
#

Yeah, no.

#

Not everyone is cut out to be a doctor or a lawyer

west moss
#

@brazen fable no not everyone is, but they should have the RIGHT to be it if they want

brazen fable
#

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 openeyecry

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

Except that doesn't happen

west moss
#

it happens all the time

clear ferry
#

Because USA tries to extract people data from ips, which we don't do for them peepoLaptopHappy

west moss
#

ALL the time

brazen fable
#

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

clear ferry
#

Here anyone can get into any study they want if there is room Shrug

west moss
#

how? when lawschool is like 100k $ per year, and your parents are struggling just to afford food? HOW do you afford that school?

brazen fable
#

Scholarships. It happens all the time

clear ferry
#

Scholarship 🤢

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

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

clear ferry
#

Mmmmmm American exceptionalism

brazen fable
#

No amount of money can make you doctor if you don't have the brain pan for it

west moss
#

no you are not.. you are extreamly strict to what poor kids can become doctors, you are extreamly generous with what rich kids can

brazen fable
#

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

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

Except that's not the case either. You're just making shit up

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

Except that's not what happens

#

That system you're referring to is 100% all in your head

west moss
#

you do realize poor kids can be smarter than rich ones right :D?

brazen fable
#

Sure, and they go to school and become successful.

#

or a trade, or whatever

west moss
#

how do they afford the tuition for harward? yale?

brazen fable
#

You don't have a right to attend ivy league schools lmao

#

nor are they a requirement to success

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

It's up to the schools. They're private institutions

west moss
#

bingo

#

thats the main issue

brazen fable
#

We have private and public institutions, and it works well

west moss
#

and its a hughe issue

brazen fable
#

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

clear ferry
#

American exceptionalism again

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

I couldn't care less what envious children say

#

The vast majority of that is just straight up envy TBH.

west moss
#

no, its realy not 😛

brazen fable
#

Elitism and exceptionalism works.

west moss
#

we all consider you the dumbes country in the world

brazen fable
#

Who cares

hushed basalt
#

=3

brazen fable
#

That's a the beauty of it. None of what the EU says matters

west moss
#

well not in us ofc, but tbf, none of what us say we care about either 😄

brazen fable
#

Sure you do

#

We control all the major trade routes, we control.. pretty much everything

west moss
#

what trade routes? most of our trades are done inside eu mate

brazen fable
#

And people should be happy we're benevolent and not tyrants like China

west moss
#

you controll like 5% of the traderoutes we actually use

#

big whoop

brazen fable
#

You underestimating the importance of naval trade routes

west moss
#

you are tyrants, you invade every country you can that have something you want, mostly oil

brazen fable
#

Lol no.

#

If we were truly tyrants you wouldn't be allowed to have the opinions you have

#

You'd be dead.

west moss
#

except you dont realy have any say in eu, about anything, so noone is very scared 😄

brazen fable
#

Uh, we could smash the EU in under a month

west moss
#

😄 thats just plain dumb xD

brazen fable
#

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

west moss
#

what would happen is there would be nukes going out everything, and USA would be completly destroyd alongside EU.. it would be mutual destruction

hushed basalt
#

@clear ferry you might need to shut this down

west moss
#

and thats why noone can do anything to the other, because it would destroy both sides

brazen fable
#

Nah. America would be fine. There are ways to mitigate nukes

hushed basalt
#

@light trout

west moss
#

and thats why neither side is scared of the other, because neither side can actually do anything 😛

orchid rose

I suggest reading the channel topic before angry möds appear

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

brazen fable
#

Unifi is hit or miss

#

but overall, positive

green inlet
brazen fable
#

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

scenic radish
#

I like my ER-X and AC lite combo

brazen fable
#

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

west moss
#

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

green inlet
#

@clear ferry 👆🏻. $30.00 for cheese 🤣

brazen fable
#

oh yeah, never go consumer

west moss
#

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 😄

scenic radish
#

I have one camera inside, but it's not directly accessible from the internet so I'm ok with it

west moss
#

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 😛

scenic radish
#

As in, it's restricted to LAN only, and you'd have to log in to my home assistant frontend to view it

brazen fable
#

I have like... 16 cameras inside

west moss
#

holy shit, thats a shitton of cams :O? they all recording or?

brazen fable
#

It's only accessible remotely when I leave

west moss
#

how do you deal with that storage need?

brazen fable
#

I have another 16 outside

#

Lmao

west moss
#

i got 3 cameras total 😛 all outside, 1 on the frontyard and 2 on back

brazen fable
#

inside cameras do not record at all unless i flip it on for vacation

west moss
#

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

brazen fable
#

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?

hushed basalt
#

Not sure

west moss
#

i figured id have no need for inside cameras aslong as i cover the outside propperly

hushed basalt
#

There's a few solar guys here

#

10kw is a lot though

brazen fable
hushed basalt
#

What is consuming so much?

west moss
#

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

Hi there, what would be the correct channel to ask for some questions regarding issues with MQTT?

@clever mortar Thanks

hushed basalt
#

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

young sigil
#

I have a Shelly EM monitoring my light and power and heating circuits.

brazen fable
#

@hushed basalt just put wiregaurd in a vm

#

it's super easy

#

and that way you can keep it compartmentalized

hushed basalt
#

What's the advantage of doing that over opnsense

young sigil
#

I'm not married to it though.

hushed basalt
#

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

brazen fable
#

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

hushed basalt
#

The router will always be on ;)

#

And the router will be virtualised as well

rare condor
#

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

hushed basalt
#

I don't want to buy another box,

brazen fable
#

yeah my router will always have it's own box

#

that's like, rule 1

hushed basalt
#

Plus my undercloud is seperate,

rare condor
#

agreed

#

its such a PITA when reboots are required or you mess up a vm or something

hushed basalt
#

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

rare condor
#

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

brazen fable
#

Pff obviously everyone needs an EdgeRouter Infinity

#

I almost nabbed one

hushed basalt
#

I really need a lot more features than an edgerouterx could provide

rare condor
#

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)

clear ferry
#

shitty hypervisor Shrug

#

I've never had a VM lock a hypervisor the last...... 13 years

rare condor
#

It was because I was doing PCIE passthru on unsupported hardware

hushed basalt
#

It's a calculated risk for me,

#

I have 4 nodes

rare condor
#

and doing nasty kernel patches on latest kernel

hushed basalt
#

But I feel the snapshotting and migratability of using a hypervisor outweigh the cons

clear ferry
#

shitty hypervisor you say

#

🤣

rare condor
#

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

clear ferry
#

@hushed basalt just run pfsense \ opnsense and HARP, tada

hushed basalt
#

What's it like though if I do a bad upgrade on a baremetal router and it dies

rare condor
#

I keep my services seperate for this reason

#

Like wg, openvpn, dns server, pihole etc

hushed basalt
#

What's harp

#

Dns server seperate from router?

rare condor
#

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

clear ferry
#

High avaliablity router protocol or whatever they called it

#

run two instances of pfsense, sync them

hushed basalt
#

Ah I see

#

I'm gonna go opnsense

clear ferry
#

one virtual, one physical

#

aye, I migrated to opnsense this year

#

pfsense guys have gotten too neckbeardy

hushed basalt
#

I bought two nics

#

And my modem has 4 ports

clear ferry
#

CARP they called it

rare condor
#

is this your old desktop?

clear ferry
rare condor
#

the new router server

hushed basalt
#

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

rare condor
#

Those optiplex 9020s are great see them on ozbargian for sub $100 often

hushed basalt
#

And I'll use one or two optiplexes for opnsense

#

If you are okay with 3 x sata ports they're great

rare condor
#

so no ECC RAM, IPMI or server stuff though

hushed basalt
#

Room for 3 x 2.5" or 1 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5"

#

No they're just desktops

rare condor
#

shh.. don't tell zfs fans that, they will crucify you

hushed basalt
#

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

clear ferry
#

you'll be fine, even though ECC is always preferred for anything really

rare condor
#

pretty much but checksuming can't be 100% assured

hushed basalt
#

Yeah it's preferred but it's no different to not using ecc on your desktop storage

clear ferry
#

I do reccomend you look into a SLOG device though if you are running without ECC and other features

hushed basalt
#

If your data gets corrupted there it'll stay corrupted when you move it to your server

rare condor
#

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

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

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.

240v secondary side transformer for domestic. 208v secondary for industrial. And 2 phase 208v phase to phase for apartments...

#

So confusing

rare condor
#

@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.

wet pilot
#

208v because they send 2 of the 3 phases to each unit

hushed basalt
#

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

rare condor
#

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

scenic radish

@clear ferry we use 240V for some things (like air conditioning)

and they have weird plugs

3 pin drops the neutral (when it doesn't need 120 only)

They think we're the weird ones because we have switches on our outlets

rare condor
#

I love feeling warm from my 2400w plug-in heater 😛

wet pilot
#

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

my EVSE requires the neutral

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

apparently these peppers are going to turn purple

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

clear ferry
#

They'll turn red probably

last dirge
#

they won't

#

these will turn white with purple stripes if I let them mature

All mine look like that before they turn red Shrug

Really

#

Never seen that

My mind was blown when I learned that every color bell pepper is the same plant at different ripeness

last dirge
#

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

@last dirge huh, well then my mind is less blown. Apparently the whole male/female pepper thing is a myth too

Apparently we've had one Corona death since april

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

We've had 41 since april

This graph is interesting

People stopped getting infected on my birthday 🎉

That looks fake, how the hell did all those stop beeing infected at the same time?

wet pilot
#

saw a recent report that the US state of Arizona had more new cases in one day than the entirety fo the EU

clear ferry
#

Hence interesting @light trout

clever mortar
#

What I take from the above graph is .... lots of people died

wet pilot
#

either they all died or norwat exported them to america

clever mortar
#

It's either that or the reporting is broken

clear ferry
#

@wet pilot over 50% of confirmed cases are in southern republican states I saw

unreal orbit
#

only 250 total though, so that wouldn't account for ~7.5k infections

wet pilot
#

not surprising

unreal orbit
#

Can't be infected if you deny the existence of the virus smart

clear ferry
#

We've had 8800 total confirmed cases total it seems

#

The daily confirmed of California then thenk

unreal orbit
#

lol my county outnumbers your entire country 2 to 1, so that's not surprising.

#

Density == more infections

clear ferry
#

Population density 🤢

#

Which is why I'm actually impressed it hasn't gone like wildfire in Africa

unreal orbit
#

look at that nice flattened curve. Good thing we started reopening everything 👍

clear ferry
#

Don't have to worry about phase 2 if you never flatten the curve in phase 1

cant confirm new infected if you stop the testing

Well, or as trump said it gonna stop testing to get our numbers down

I just got to delete thousands of lines of code this morning

felt great 🙂

rm -fr / partyTime

You just squashed thousands of bugs right there!

#

Best way to make the code bug free is to delete the code.

last dirge
#

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

clear ferry
#

Just do like me, unplug servers and wait a week

#

If none screams it wasn't used

#

@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!!!

clever mortar
#

Nah...

chmod -R 444 /

Nice 😄

Pick your own variation as long as you never set the execute bit 🙂

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

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"
