<<redacted>>
Actually the nicest person I've worked with is jeniffer love heweiit. Normal as normal gets.
Iβve had enough drinks. I should stop responding. All sounds hilarious and laughing my ass off.
for the most part on the three women i listed above I would have liked to have met off camera at one point in the past when I was still young and could havve been of use lol
Lol.
skala drunk? lol
BTW kobe was so cool as well. Did a commercial using RC trucks for Nike. So sad he is gone.
π¦
You have no idea. I am laughing out loud on the conversation. Yes. A bit drunk.
time to get my fancy ice sphere
Whiskey time ?
whiskey time
Nice
typical.. quad eats gross food and gets to meet those I want to meet.. world just dosen't make sense
@forest edge when you are in LA let me know will make sure you go to a set. It's an experience of a lifetime.
that it, time to start a cult who worships the god of that which controls the fualt to make cali sink into the ocean
yea i wish
if i was younger i'd be all over that
can't evven get the projects on my list done as is lol
You should only downside is everything you watch on TV/theater becomes questionable. Lol
well it already is for me and always has been lmao
Lol.
i am/was a big movie buff
I couldn't find my whiskey cup. I forgot I attempted to save the leftover of my last ice sphere
woman told me i should go on one of those movie trvia game shows or something lol
Although I would not mind spend time on mandalorian set. If you call it a set.
Most boring set hands down.
@forest edge seriously if you are coming this way give me a heads up I will organize something.
@night zodiac cheers.
cheers!
@rare condor got my dupont crimper
Nice
The pins and connectors are still in transit though :(
All I want to do is change the fans in my UPS but I can't even do that yet
@forest edge seriously if you are coming this way give me a heads up I will organize something.
@tidal bronze oh? gonna have some edible food flown in for me? lol jk. i certainly will, sure at some point I'll be in that state before i croak lol
Nice. I honestly will probably get the 12 year of Redbreast next time. I think I like it a bit more than the 15
@forest edge definitely it's worth spending a day on set.
as long as it's not the Notebook set, sure lol
You would've loved working with seal team for the movie. Mind blowing.
The Notebook was fucking dope
or 50 shades of grey.. you do that one too? lol
I like the knock off, 50 shades of black or whatever it's called
Although I did the entire network for vivid pictures early 2000's lmao.
"we have some shades"
@hushed basalt Come to Victoria I'll give you some, you'll never want to leave afterwards... Nor can you.
@forest edge you should do a studio tour at vivid pictures. π
You will never be the same.
I always thought that would be a little boring, just looking at back drop sections and props isn't it? lol
Oh boy. Don't get me started.
I mean seeing some props would be alright lol
Editing room is simply mayhem.
But all in all everything is an experience
millions upon millions in editing pc's with those nvidia titans and such
You should see the editors faces. LMAO.
Simply epic shit man.
I don't want to look at people who had thier soul ripped from them from long hours of work lol
Cracks me up to date.
Exactly
At the same time you tend to think about people on the other end that think shit is cool.
messed up behind everything awesome is something not awesome at all lol
one of the documentaries I watched about people moving there in hopes of becoming movie stars and end up doing shit work struggling to make ends meet week by week was sad as hell
That's most of entertainment industry. But if and when you hit, you are set.
well some turned to porn lol
Porn is not bad if you are the selcted few.
now visiting a porn set.. that might be interesting..
lmao
But trust me you don't want to.
i can already sense @scenic radish ears perking

Imagination is best when it comes to that.
there is an interview on Your Mom's House where they interview a guy that visited gangbang sets. you should listen to those stories
No thanks
Porn star makes close to 1700 / 40 minutes
@tidal bronze one of those things when once you see the behind the scenes you can't unsee the behind the scenes and ruins everything? lol
Yep. I suggest not to.
that sucks
It's ok when you are 78 years not before that.
I had kind of hoped some of it was like that movie with mark walburg as dirk diggler lol
"dude those guys are porking your wife in the driveway"
https://youtu.be/yW52u31heCI?t=7860 interview starts here, lol
The Master Of Accents starts the show. Deadass, would you go into a burning Burger King for your change? Maybe, if you're a TikTok. Christina has a whole new batch of TikToks today plus we get an understanding of how hairy Josh Potter is REALLY.
Ryan Sickler is a comedian an...
I made the mistake and now π
Somethings you just can't unsee
and now you had to remove your eyeballs and replace them with prosthetics?
@scenic radish you say, No Thanks" but we know what inspired Grand Sauce.
lol
@night zodiac when you get a chance try yamasaki
Unlikely mostly online. But it's worth it. Voted 3 or 4 years in a row for best single malt.
where do you order from
I get from my local total wine but damn waiting list most of the time or raffle.
12 year or normal single malt?
12 year.
let me see if I can find it
If you can score 18 then WIN
Yes.
yeah, I just looked it up. $120 vs $900, lol
ordering the 12 year
don't tell Jill
nvm
they won't ship to me
You won't regret it. Get whiskey cubes as well. Last thing you want is adding water with ice cubes to that n
welp, nobody will ship to me
hrmm. next time I visit my girl's parents I'll have to order a few bottles to there, give away some as gifts and drink 1
they should ship to that state
That's a bummer
yeah, for some reason Illinois is blocked but I have wine delivered
Same to Cali from most online stores. I have no idea why.
I'll just order some as gifts the next time I visit her parents. I have been trying to think of a gift anyways
This will make a great gift for sure.
yeah, one for her father and one for her brother.
her brother is the one that showed me redbreast
not really showed me. offered me a glass and I was like yum
and bought some
actually my girl got it for my bday
now I need a gift for the girls :/
quad, you like tequila at all? my parents got me some tequila that tastes wild
Sorry not a tequila fan. Wife is all over it. Patron would be it.
haha, this doesn't taste like anything I've ever had tequila wise
it tastes like flowers
So many variations.
DAMN
I registered on a website thinking it was going to let me buy the whiskey but it waited to the very end to tell me nope
Lol. Tequila, best would be costco.
Costco now got Kirkland single malt which undoubtedly is mcallan
yeah, none of those around here
I found a place within an hour that I might be able to get
I'll call them
"Discount Liquor Of Chatham" lol
No costco ?
How far out are you from Chicago?
closest one is 80 miles away
Ouch
I'm near Springfield which is 3.5 hours away
Oh that's far
Costco bourbon is pretty good to btw
I need to find a reshipper of liquor
there must be a percentage limit for my state, I know my girl gets wine
states are weird about that. Only 1 service i could find that would ship wine to Alabama, it was shit wine so i cancelled
I think it's ABC tax control.
for sure
Which of you dodgy lot hacked twitter? π
What's twitter ?
A place where bots talk to each other
O
Mainly Russian Bots
I can't have home assistant to work without internet access (virtualbox setup), im trying to access the "homeassistant.local:8123" website but it doesn't seem to work without internet, what can I do?
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.
rreeeeeeeeeeee
Reeee indeed friend. Reeee indeed.
Nice, took me a month to figure out what AF was.
didnt think 35 was old, but i guess it is
I did jump on the "Karen" badwagon with full force π
Lol, no boomer. I am a millennial by all accounts. just stubborn
back in my day insertstring()
IT'S $CURRENT_YEAR!!!!
yeah we just had to deal with strings in my days....wtf is a float now
is a decimal that big of a deal?
@scenic radish Favorite integration?
That's a good question actually
Well, automation is my favorite integration but besides that...
Oh. HomeKit Controller for sure
well a controller is almost a hub. IMO
That integration allows you to connect HomeKit devices to home assistant, and since HomeKit is a local protocol, those devices are controlled locally
For instance, the ecobee integration is cloud based (and ecobee's API is terrible), but the thermostat supports HomeKit, so I have it connected via HomeKit controller
K, semantics, just curious what made you really get deep in automation. I realized Wyze as a platform sucked and dove into HA
I wanted my lights to turn on when I disarm my alarm at night. IFTTT was slow and unreliable, so I moved to Tasker on my phone which triggered the lights to turn on when the "alarm disarmed" notification came in. That worked better but was still clunky
& i figured ou openhab was a bad choice π
And now it's snowballed into way more than that lol
Nice! I've been using my Smatthings hub to track a lot. I got turned on by knowing if my garage door was open or not.
Was before covid, but everyday i second guessed if i shut it or not
I snowballed too, before i buy anyting i check if it works with HA
@tidal bronze add it to waffles 
@last plaza you mean my 0.00000000000000000000000 bitcoins?
@night zodiac @wet pilot 
I'm thinking of using one side of the rack for my guitar pedal board now though
Hi all, any problems accessing remotely by Nabucasa today? I'm away from home and can't connect π±
#cloud-archived @crisp kraken
Thanks... I'm new here βΊοΈ
This is why channels have topics π
channels have topics?
There's also no docs...
one can only assume the topic for this channel is norwegian favorites, oldies but not goodies
there is a damn spider web piece dangling in front of my camera causing it to take 40 million snapshot and although I can see it on the camera footage I cannot see it with my own eyes lol
Seems as though youβre... caught in a web yaaaa (cue intro to CSI: Miami)
Sawstop at 19,000FPS, stopping so fast that the force literally breaks the blade teeth off - https://gfycat.com/marvelousfineechidna
This technology is so fricking impressive
Similar with the anti-chainsaw trousers you see, technology has come a long way to help humans avoid killing themselves
I wasn't allowed to start my chainsaw before I bought those trousers
The wife said

Clearly didn't want you being the wrong kind of legless π
Lol. I love those sawstop things then I think what did that saw cost because it has that feature and what does it cost to replace... cause an arm and a leg is a lot more than a finger tip
But what happens if they actually wanted to use the saw to cut your sausage?
(Not that sausage...)
@clear ferry those also destroy the table saw not just the blade. in fact they make a whole replacement system that has to be bought for big bucks every time
and that would be fine if they were 100% accurate in detecting only fingers/flesh but any moisture at all will set it off
I read sawing on humid days can set it off
We have the technology to make it so!
...the force literally breaks the blade teeth off
@clear ferry Nah. The middle blade just slips past the outer two knocking the teeth off. They're normally offset because the teeth are wider than the disks.
Daaaaaayum
So it's northern Norway 2021 for the tinkerers@clever mortar ?
Straw I suspect
Interesting. We just leave them as-is in the fields. Nicely rolled.
They have gathered hay, they dry it to feed to cattle
Wife calls them cow eggs
Suppose that is where cows come from
@tidal bronze been thinking about getting back in
Unfortunately, the preservant they inject into those haybales destroys the enzymes that make good cheese.
I installed latest version of Windows today
Someone kill me
This is basically adware.
Ahh, I looked it up. I guess you don't want to use it with hay for horses which is why I wouldn't see it
Nvm. Fine for horses. Misread
Never seent it
https://hastebin.com/ditipaweki.ps1 Powershell Deshittify script that I wasted my time mucking with windows trying to deflate the Filesystem in combination with. Have fun. I wasted my time. Maybe someone else here can use this

For the record: 81 Locations the UAP Bloatware is copied around with 14 .xml files that keep an index incase you remove one and 32 Registry locations on top.
There is an additional 2 indexes hidden in the language files smack dab in the middle of the strings list.
And to top it off:
had to google that one π
Deshittify
- "To identify shit in your life and remove it."
out of some reasons I only read De-sh-itfy or something like that
Great the Hospital I went to had a COVID cluster at the same time I was there :/
Anyone been tested in AUS recently are they still doing the nose swab or saliva
Every time I install windows, I have to wrestle for a good few hours. Hate it.
Microsoft is hanging themselves by the noose then kicking the chair out from under them
You cant even edit the Startmenu "All Apps" list anymore
They are following google. Period.
And, Registry is pure evil.
I aint even big on the "loonix vs winblows" thing
Use whats best for you but
This...
Its legit slow af
And not to mention, its actually harder to develop on
Actually, its harder to do Anything on
Got my own handy PS scripts for most of the clean up.
They have hidden so many of the Library, AppData, Application Data, Program Data, etc folders and locked them under SYSTEM/TrustedInstaller
In the latest 20H2 updates
And then made it impossible to even bypass
Cant even properly set ACL
Even with PS
Havenβt updated my windows yet - that has the edge update in it. I donβt use edge anyway.
is this home edition?
Enterprise and Pro
super gross
have a new laptop coming in today. i might just have to wipe it right away
I got my MSDN subscription, and use either enterprise or pro versions only.
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is the last bit of "OK" the NT Kernel has left
Sadly, yes.
And the shear amount of telemetry... omg the raw data thats being put out every 100 mins and every 7 minutes
You can run up a data plan with it alone
Your laptop should have home edition - unless you paid extra bucks @wet pilot
Home is worse
yeah. does wsl2 require pro?
Horrible
WSL2 requires Pro yeah
so gotta make a change anyway
And it now requires Windows Hypervisor Toolkit
- SMB Server
- some other junk
And it eats up like 20% of a 16 Core CPU
which is stupid
I also found it had force formatted my 4k block drive back to 512e
So I lose perf there
Basically a crap shoot.
And they wonder why everyones leaving their ecosystem
I could teach how to Linux faster than how to Windows to a 0 knowledge avg consumer at this point
Ah yeah heres a good one
Some GPO's no longer apply cuz Windows Defender sees it as tampering
And it locks it all out
Whatever you do, dont reboot
lol wut?
It wont reboot
Yup, anything that touches security registries or core files (GPO) is seen as tampering
even if its its own toolkit
And top it all off
You cannot pin to taskbar anymore
They shouldnβt have hired Mark Russinovich. He is better off developing tools that gives control at low level. Now he became one of them.
they wonder why everyone's leaving their ecosystem? but they are not, windows is as dominant as ever on desktop . and ms doesn't care in server what os you run as long as you use their services. they are very different to ms of 90's
Containers.
Also, most consumers donβt know shit. They are okay with whatever the crap they get.
Windows does not scale and next-gen platforms scale. You cannot live on consumers alone
They are pulling the EEE stuff again with FOSS software already
I don't want to argue the point as its 1am but simply not true.
MS under Balmer saw office and windows as core to buiness
those days are gone
MS pushes cloud and services
that is the market
The EEE notion is a relic of the past, a lot of devs working at MS are FOSS users and culture is pushing to integration not EEE
They pulled this shit just recently
They have half the FOSS community up in flames rn
Linux Unplugged Episode 2 week ago goes into why EEE notion is bs, my opinion closely aligns to this
weeks before
And I can keep on going. This whole year has been very shady
Call it whatever you want
All sv companies are copying
There is copying, then there is plagiarism
Not if you call it βopen sourceβ π
They slapped a non-free license on top and now own the rights to someone elses work. I guess its open source... but
There is a saying in olden days - IBM buys and Microsoft steals.
Hah!
Thatβs all they are good at
What would convince you that the company culture is different to that of the 90's?
Every product that ibm bought, they ruined it royally
Nothing because I worked too closely and seen it in person
For far too long too
If anything, they simplified
lets be honest, appget was nothing special anyways. Any halfway decent powershell developer could replicate its functionality in a day. Spend another few days polishing it up and bam. To be honest, powershellget and nuget have sucked since inception, im kind of surprised it took this long for MS to realize the possibilities of platforms like github
"Milk all the cash cows"
It really wasnt anything special
the original dev said so himself
If you believe change is not feasible its futile for me to discuss
but they brought him in for some sort of talk/interview
ghosted him
then released his works
Only after months of pressure did they finally admit it was """"based"""" off his works
"loosely"
At the end of the day, its all about the $.
Numbers, Stocks, and Shareholders
House of Cards feels too real sometimes
hmm, looks like i'm going to go fedora workstation on this
@wet pilot That's acceptable
Its literally control
modern kernel so should have fewer issues with the AMD 4700U
Its almost like they are linked somehow

seems like ubuntu can out-perform fedora but might have some compatibility gotchas unless i manually upgrade the kernel
Yeah ubuntu's repo is kinda... wonk
yeah, being downstream of deb isn't always the greatest for them
fedora typically has a more recent kernel
heh gogo gentoo
pfft
It also has a stupid sudo bug which cause errors on lxc containers after every sudo elevation out of the box
Im rocking Fedora and SmartOS. Alpine on all the servers.
sudo bug
What a show stopper
i like playing fire and use fedora server on my docker host
I actually chuckled
BTW my yubikey arrived
Hell yeah!
I set it up with G-drive
Now thats something I can really get behind
But not using it with ssh, find ssh agents too annoying
It won't work without internet right?
I think U2F now works over SSH too. But yes it uses OTP Validation servers
howeverrrrrrrr
That's a big issue as internet is not reliable in Aus and I often don't have internet when SSH'ing
Its open source validation server
if you are big into self-host
And yess, you can use both your own and yubico's
yeah I think Openssh 8.2 doesn't need server IIRC but most clients won't support it yet
And to top it off
PGP key based SSH Login
Since you can store your PGP keys on the key
3 choices, have yer pick
Real 2FA is no longer present if you place the private key on the hardware security key because it is then responsible for both the OTP and private key component. thoughts?
Sure if you use OTP + SSH Key
You could do Pass/User + OTP
or Pass/User + SSH Key
And not only that
You have to have a pin code to access the key
Have you tried the new U2F in Openssh8.2
All my Ubuntu 20.04 Guests support it so I could use it
It does not make sense to me to go back in time and migrate away from native U2F OpenSSH authentication unless you cannot upgrade your OpenSSH binaries. The community is moving away from SSH gpg-agent authentication and so should you.
I might wait until OpenSSH 8.2 is included in debian 11 stable and start using it
You can do both
One downside is my Yubikey only supports ecdsa-sk key-pairs not ed25519-sk . So NSA can look at my linux servers π
One thing though, as the twitter hack showed today, if the service itself isn't secure 2FA does sh*t all
astronauts are replacing batteries on the ISS right now. Installing new lithium ion batteries. Hope they're higher quality lithium batteries than your typical cellphone or laptop battery π₯π₯π₯
Do we know what caused the twitter breach yet?
Human factor
Also they only made 150k through that hack, they could have coindainated much better attack
Like written on Trump's Account we are going to bomb 'x' in 5 minutes
Not something to cause damage
question. what port need to be open to communicate with HA on the network
Or more detailed and coindainated scam
@hexed tapir 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.
@hexed tapir 8123 also go to another channel
You used it on coins
#integrations-archived has you covered @hexed tapir
No you're not π None of us are ... π
fired it off too fast rofl
lol
Whatβs going on? Haxxaβs messages are being deleted.
lol
Someone is trying to cleanup their mess π
Large discord. Don't exactly wanna leave everything out there on record
I deleted my comments because my employer uses HASS and is in the discord
haha
You guys need a private server then
Selects mod view to see what trouble Haxxa is getting into
Sorry Tinkerer I was in trouble from working so hard. Adam is an amazing Boss, I love my company.
This is our private server. Can't connect without relevant interests
man, using HA is like thinking you're about to dive into a swimming pool and suddenly you're in the ocean, with millions of pages of documentation about how to live in the ocean
i mean, you can but you wouldn't have a good time
You can live in the ocean?
yes, there's documentation
oh... docs.... pass

ln -sf /dev/random README.md
cat README.md
Honestly it ain't that bad. First you learn the basics and why it does what it does and the rest is just the add-on modular pieces to drive it to a goal.

Error correct thing?
sudo chmod -R 111 /
i've seen it, its awesome
It fixes common typing errors
Basically how my git patches and fuzz works when too lazy to repatch for minor updates rofl
googles smartglub
Someone from cloudflare has been pulling my ntpsec docker image over and over again and it's killing my damn repo.
LEMME COMMITT REEE
There was exactly 0 working public ntpsec docker images for a long time so I made one and suddenly it blew up cus everyone saw "NTP" and "TLSv1.3"
And pushing it to hub put it on recently updated list so it broadcasted it's inception.
Now, we just need the spec to support a way to pool under DNS while utilizing TLS and then we can have TLS ntp pools. Not just CloudFlare
Cuz time totally needs to be secure and encrypted, right?
Them super sensitive seconds
all of them
I need to suggest one to someone I don't like
I want it to be expensive and unreliable
wink
Those requirements are so rare
This one? https://www.ovh.com.au/
Aye
Profit Bricks
They seem to be used by well know companies?
As of November 2019, OVH is listed by The Spamhaus Project as the world's second worst Internet service provider for the proliferation of unsolicited bulk E-Mail
Worst?
Good question
OVH is bare metal provider with super static infrastructure and no oversight
Ok cool sorted
But they offer cheap af Dedis and have a massive amount of them
I still hate DigitalOcean
They also do cloud service apparently
I contacted their abuse team and they did nothing
Yeah. My new job is at OVH....
Design and Architecture of a comparable solution for scalable infrastructure. It's a spin-off without a name yet.
Basically cheap AWS
But we gotta destroy the original infra and rebuild it.
Chrome extension was stealing user data, adding affiliate links and keylogging, asked digital ocean to take down website associated and they first responded then did nothing.
Millions would have credit card, banking details and accounts stolen thanks to that call
Honestly though, everyone I am working with is cool so whatever. Free playtime with a 4000 server homelab
This was the app btw: https://www.facebook.com/fabapp/
Sounds about right.
It customised facebook, contacted OG dev, he sold app for $500 USD
Worrying about user data and using facebook π€
I feel like very few take abuse as seriously as it should be.
@unreal orbit It was stealing credit card data
Hit my abuse email and you set off some alarms.
I ain't bout to have that shit on my watch
We ain't PCI-DSS certified...
No credit card numbers for u
The whole matter of it is just people who think they can get their hands in service providing but ignoring real administration instead of just paying a professional like me for just 120β¬/h
just 120β¬/h ?
That's pretty cheap for professional IT work
Especially consultancy
Yep. My time goes for β¬165/hour
Actually 90% of Fiverr is even cheaper π
OVH has been very reliable with me. Their support just blows ass but you don't really need them for much.
support blows ass
Hopefully I can do something about that with actual resolution process methods
What do americans use for 32V DC ELV circuits? like what plug? In Aus its the T pin
And not just floor admins sitting around
Hopefully. It has been a few years but I would always get people that barely spoke English or were just trying to use as few words as possible. They are Frenchies, lol
french canadian
we use about a billion different dc connectors
that goes into AC
I'm confused do Americans just use wall adapters for everything SMPS?
Yeah.
huh
AC for long distance, DC for anything short distance by conversion lol
so no LV DC Circuit for low voltage appliances?
Wth, DC plugs
Nope.
We don't do that in Europe either afaik
Did you know you can run DC and AC over the same line?
Damn Aussies
Isn't there just one real plug?
Using something called a bias t you can inject DC and extract it too.
Shucko 4 lyfe
Would be cool to have a hybrid plug to rid of wall warts
we have our power at 240ac on our lines but we do it odd. we do an offset above and below neutral so if we want a 120, we do 1 phase and a neutral. if we want 240, we get 2 phases and don't need the neutral
We also have round earth plug for some appliances:
That was my face at 7 not getting what I want on christmas
We do 400v distribution to houses since the 90s and pull out two phases and ground for 240 and spread the house into zones with different phases
240V nominal direct to the house here, single phase
yeah, US has 2 phase to the house and we can choose with a single breaker or a double breaker to get 2 phase
so you only need one phase a a neutral for our 120v walls
and only 240 for our applicances
What plug do you use for your clocks?
lol
Like wall clocks
sometimes schools are wired for clocks but normally houses will use batteries or a dc conversion
AAA batteries
Like the 4 Pin plug with slave input for sync
Actually we use Cat5e
Each clock varying from system time - for example because of a power failure - can be individually and automatically corrected by synchronisation with a time control centre.
Specialized circuit π€’
Smart power meter is handy
But Cat5e can not be within 5cm of 230v wiring in Australia
For good reason
We have one wall clock, and it's in the garage on a shelf...
@rare condor we use rj45 for clocks
and it cannot cross
I only notice wall clocks at like the doctors
There's no shortage of devices around that tell the time, and sync to NTP
I installed 700 wall clocks at a hospital a few years ago
Do you have special shaver plugs?
https://youtu.be/jMmUoZh3Hq4 it just took me so long to find this video
It's more than 120V. It's even more than the other 120V! It is the sum of the two (and sometimes a different two!) that makes us who we are. Learn about the US electrical system in this not-at-all snarky video!
Would you care for some links?
Firstly are foremostly, here's th...
Plus the 25000 switch ports and 1500 access points
Ain't that the truth....
Looks at 6000 connections to the NTP pool server
We have shaver sockets, yes
we have 120 and 240 outlets, that is pretty much it. we have 2 prong and 3 prong 120. we have 3 prong and 4 prong 240, lol
We don't here. Just a 120V GFCI/AFCI standard NEMA plug
huh you guys have less plugs then we do
obviously more prongs are the newer ones
240V (ish) everywhere here, though shaver sockets are also 110V
These are our common plugs
Holy shit
Shaver sockets? What is this? Some third world country like the UK and the us?
We have ... one domestic socket
What is a shaver socket?
For electric razors (and toothbrushes)
Its RCD protected and current limited
We have two common plugs, one earthed and one not, and we have a special one for stove tops, that's it really
AC toothbrush? O_o
we use 120 for ERRYTHING and wire in special lines for 240 appliances
Inductive charger bro
Single Phase with Hot Leg Double which is Pesudo dual phase. It's 120V and 208V most of the time
https://share.busheezy.dev/wZpbQW.png this picture explains how we snag 120 from our lines or 240
Do your elderly use special light switches
https://share.busheezy.dev/k2gWZO.png our circuit breaker panels do an every other type thing. -120, +120,-120, +120 and they all have a neutral. so we can add a "double breaker type thing" and get both the -120, the +120, and the neutral if we want it for 120
Or if it's delta phase then
that is going down, btw
We have these, they are massive.
They are used commonly at schools
and old peoples home
They must have a 10mA RCDon every plug and they must use less than 2nm of force to trigger
we have these
We require GFCI/AFCI (RCD) where there is water.
@rare condor we don't have puny light switches to begin with
The breakers for living spaces.
So we don't need special ones
@clear ferry I replaced my light switches with european ones they are so great!
lol
I prefer low profile
I tend to not abuse my switches
I use smart lights
π‘π‘π‘π‘
checks server
i prefer the "decora" or paddle style switches
screwless faceplates suck. They break half the time you try to take them off
i couldn't consistently find triple gang plates :/
Why not just use 230v for everything like normal countries π
lol
i think there was a "reason" but no one really remembers why
that are covered half way
Ebay travel adapter shock me alot
lol
everytime I pull it out
big clive would probably suggest against that
so annoying
yeah he had video and called them a death trap
didn't he use DC though for his bulbs?
Yup
AC didn't come around until Tesla
Ashame you guys don't have DC circuit
No one considered in the AC/DC war to up the voltage
that would annoy me
and Edison pulled a bitch fit and forced Tesla + Westinghouse to re-invent the light bulb
Actually wait we do have DC sockets.
joke's on Edison though, Westinghouse still makes lightbulbs. GE just sold that off
my dad just put smart switches everywhere at his place so you have to use like a touch screen to turn them on/off
These are pretty common:
where the switch would be
wasn't the origin of that switch a rule because of janky power systems in the UK?
They are labeled phone / tablet because its illegal to plug two tablets in
or anything above 3.4amp
lol
combind
Yeah. WW1/2 or some shit
does it have a lil DC fuse/breaker in there?
No poly fuse I think nothing user replacable
ahh, do your outlets have fuses built in like Eu? Idk where you are
not outlets
plugs
No, we don't put fuses in plugs its a terrible idea
does Eu still do that?
UK
yes they do
I need to get my coffee
see "Janky power systems" comment
-
People short appliance, appliance doesn't work, they throw away perfectly functional toasters.
-
Fuse blows, penny, paper clip or other random metal shoved in, fire starts.
-
Person tries to replace doesn't reinstall cover and dies from holding outlet when inserting
In all cases, people are idiots, but this should be accounted for
It's also much cheaper to wire with 14 gauge over 10 gauge for 120/230*V 15A (turns out our 240 and 220 is legacy.)
anyway some day you guys will learn nthe glory of aussie electrical equiptment
And as I just learned; EU and Japan was also 120 but switched to 220 in 50/60's
Japan still sucking US Regulation after that bomb huh
Electric dryers π€’
US dryers use 240 'cause they tap both phasees
US dryers use gas a lot of times too, lol
(or 210 in a multi-unit building)
220-240 is the typical range cuz yay legacy
And Washing machine etc.
210 for a 3-phase building
yeah, I had my landlord get rid of his shitty oven a few weeks ago
since they just send 2 phases up
My street is 253v
I bought a new dryer, washer, and oven for my rental π
although aus is meant to use 230v we are creeping towards 250-260v
they are all next to each other because of tiny apartment
Nice
y'all trying to make up for those blackouts in 2019 and 2018? lol
WE HAVE POWER NOW, WE SWEAR
We have these delta phases here. 208 is the hot leg for 208V residential
208
I've had washers and dryers before, lol
I had other washer dryers but they were like for gas, the dryer was
so I got a new set for electric that match
π¦
Oh no.
lol
I am not relying on them at all, just for lolz
plants are happy without them already
I don't really care if they work but I bought 15 of them
Oh thats good, you have me anxiety for a second, I hope your plants continue to prosper
hopefully the light sensor is a tiny bit usable

Because screw your attempts at removing me
I know nutrient and humidity sensors are not likely to work well
I use windows apps, lol
I hope so too, I hope it works well enough
I'll let you know π
Thanks
new pi should be here today so I can mess around with my coffee cup
What you working on?
I'm going to mess around with making a python library for https://www.amazon.com/Ember-Temperature-Control-Smart-Battery/dp/B07Z5H4TF5/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=amazon+ember+mug&qid=1594921097&sr=8-3 and then eventually use the library in an integration
I have to log the BT stuffs and figure out what bytes are doing what
it should be fun or sad
one of them
yeah, I do it for work but I have never really messed with a python project or with hardware, lol
I have tutored some friends through their py classes a few years ago
Well exciting times ahead
yeah, not really worried about the coding part, just the bytes in the BT packets
the mi flora code actually is very helpful to look at for the ember mug project
pretty much what I'll be doing but with different data
ember mug?
I linked you an amazon listing before, haha. the smart mug I have is called ember
not ember.js, lol
I can't access web browser at the moment I will take a look later
thanks looks like a coffee mug
yeah, haha
So it had BLE to control temp and check level of liquid?
get temp, set temp, get color, set color
yeah
it can detect if there is liquid but not sure if that shows up in data
it might just kick the cup on if liquid
set colour, RGB coffee??? π
lol, the lil white you see under "ember" is an led
depending on the blinking and such, it tells you if it is heating or at the right temp, lol
ok, RGB is the main thing I look for in a coffee mug π€
yeah, I just like that I can sip my coffee for a long time and it stays hot
I don't drink my coffee very quickly
I'm not really hooking it up out of necessity but for fun
I have 0 need to log sensor data about my coffee cup
but sounds fun
woo laptop arrived
hell yeah
booted into windows long enough to update the bios and installing Fedora 32 now
was it one of those bios updaters that locks errything up while it updates
where you can hear your cpu cycles through your headset for some reason, lol
nah, was pretty painless
nice
they expose their firmware out as a device to windows and windows update can apparently do it
that sounds horrifying
that is probably how mine is done as well, lol
I have no idea
eh, MSI files and windows update as a repository/mirror wouldn't be too terrible
as long as M$ isn't writing the firmware everything is probably ok π
@wet pilot Most likely its exposed in registry as the raw tables
which I have NO CLUE as to why Windows and OEM's do it that way
I found 13 more replication directories for AppX Caches
The worst part about this is that the SHA-512 matches
so its literally duplications
Are you not going to use any apps from the store?
So I can have it spew itself 21 times across the filesystem? Ill use LTSC if I am gonna windows
Right now I am just digging around the 20H2 update
I got some major pain points with it
it just makes my life easier for work. I like to play games so I am in windows a lot and now I can just run all my stuff with wsl2 without issues.
I don't like dual booting
my games need windows
Man this is just perfect for a home lab. $269
https://www.ui.com/edgemax/edgeswitch-lite/ i'll probably get this with an er-4 eventually to upgrade my jazz
Yeah, you really need that 10G SFP+ in your home lab π
Yes!
I already have 10gig run throughout the house
Telemetry is 3 fold originally, GPO's dont function if it is security based as Defender thinks its tampering... so it fights its own toolkit, StartMenu is immutable as in you cannot fully modify it (some UWA Applications are perm stuck on there), Pinning Shortcuts to Taskbar is no more, There is many Directories that are locked out from you that hold various files of concern, There is a folder that says "Its against Microsoft policy to modify", WSL requires SMB + 2 new dependencies that cause hella drain on resources, Some settings dirs for apps is inaccessible, there is scripts set to reset some of your settings on windows update, telemetry index xml hidden right in the middle of a language file, CMI causes BSOD's with some NVIDIA and AMD Drivers
and yet none of those affect me, lol
I am of the "If it works for you then go for it" group but man this is the first time I reallllllllllllllly had an itch with Windows
you can pin shortcuts to taskbar np btw
It resets
maybe you messed with something?
After 3 restarts no less
mine stays
I am playing with a brand new install
People running 10g at home, meanwhile I'm running my media server with the files on an external usb 5400rpm hard drive
I like my Ubiquiti gear
I have an edge router, love it
Transferring files gives me time to read a book for a while π
and ubiq AP
I am using a UniFi Switch Leaf, Next-Gen Gateway, 8x WiFi 6 In Wall AP's, 1x UniFi 6 Switch 24, 1x AP WiFi 6, Cloud Key Gen 2 and Custom Firmware
I have the unifi controller in a docker container on a random hp box my dad gave me from work
Custom Firmware because Ubiquiti cannot into software, only hardware
desk rack
I told myself I was going to make the blinky lights visible 5 months ago
flip the router/patch panel
I had it like that before and forgot why I switched it
Broken IGMP Proxy, >2 Switches down Multicast, IPv6 is shot, mDNS crashes under more than 60 clients, DHCP Options for second modifiers to Time wont work, and their IPTables rules are really basic and somewhat insecure when UPnP is on
It was an easy fix tho
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/ubiquiti-networks-says-it-was-victim-47-million-cyber-scam-n406201 I mean they have a dream, but they aint the brightest at the office
"The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system"
Well thanks Windows 10. Thats one way to say "no modify"
funny part is im debating upgrading my core to 40gbps
40g core, what is this? 2014?
I wish
my post lady just left a note on my door saying they couldn't reach me and left
little do they know the package has a motion tracker so I can catch her sneaky ass in the future
Didn't knock or anything, I heard her device go "beep" and she dipped
Like the feckers that tried to deliver a package to my house with a lorry, and there was roadwork so they couldn't pass up my street, just marked me as not home instead of calling me while I was waiting at home
I called their managers and yelled
I paid for express delivery and they are trying to make me go get it
yeah right. she said they will send her back when she gets back
I'm not going to pay $30 in shipping to have to go get it, lol
I ended up picking it up myself, tagging the local delivery company on twitter and Google reviews as dishonest bastards and gave them 1 star in all review pages I could
And sent formal complaints to the parent shipping company
UPS dropped my package off at a local business one day because they have a business relation with them
I was like wtf is this shit
another no-knocker
I've had shipping companies leave racks with $500k worth of computer equipment in the rain outside a door without telling it was delivered


oh no
boo microphone no worky and i'm not finding anything useful to deal with it
as far as i can tell the hw is straight up not detected
she came back and did a tiny bullshit knock on my screen door
not even my real door
it sounded like the compressor in my fridge moving shit around
that lil knock noise a fridge will make
it wasn't my motion sensors
Oh wow, you can click on emotes now to get the server they came from
(if it's a public server)
orly
