Bye bye Google Play Music now 😢

I've already migrated everything to Spotify, and it's almost as good

I'm still on google play music and will be until they physically stop me

oof, that yamaha stuff looks nice, but is so pricy 🙂

Yeah, gonna hack together something w/ rpi + dac hats + generic speakers I think

Not sure how well it integrates with HA.

I have 3 Chromecast audios for sale :)

#

Awkward that it doesn't appear to support different streams to different sections of the house (simultaneous kitchen and office, playing different music)

#

I'll have to figure this all out and write up a blog post

If you pair the Chromecast with a HDMI capable receiver you can use them for just audio too

I had DSL for like a year and then cable came out

here's another one to try
@tidal bronze Is that made from real perineums?

last dirge
#

anybody have a KVM that does displayport that they'd recommend?

#

I've tried two now and they've both had serious drawbacks

#

the first one had a 110dB noise when you switched, and it was only USB2

#

second one keeps restarting one of my computers, not sure why

orchid rose
#

Second one sounds like a grounding issue?

last dirge
#

the computer goes to sleep after 15 minutes, like normal

#

but everything in windows has been closed

#

and everything's as grounded as required

orchid rose
#

What do you mean by restarting?

last dirge
#

it'll go into standby/sleep

#

then I hear the fans do the "I'm restarting" noise

#

and if I switch to the computer, it's restarting windows

#

and none of the stuff that was running before it went to sleep is running

orchid rose
#

That's weird

#

I can understand it booting up from like USB wake up or something but restarting like that I don't know

last dirge
#

I was hoping this one would work

#

it's using DisplayPort daisy chaining technology so you just hook up a single cable and it's got a secondary HDMI output

#

I'm about to say to hell with all of it and buy an ultrawide display

deft pewter
#

Recently got an ultrawide with built in KVM and I love it. Makes me wonder how I managed before.

last dirge
#

which?

#

I will buy the shit out of it

deft pewter
#

Seems to be low in stock everywhere, with some people scalping. I got my just under RRP.

#

Built-in cam and mic are decent enough.

last dirge
#

how dramatic is the curve?

#

and is the stand hiding a VESA mount?

deft pewter
#

Curve is subtle and I've noticed no fading toward the edges. Yes to VESA.

#

Stand is one of those gas-lift things too. Pretty good job, considering the weight of this thing.

last dirge
#

I can't find it for sale anywhere

deft pewter
#

Almost the same, just no cam, I think.

#

Not sure the KVM capabilities are identical but I didn't see anything that suggests it wouldn't be. That was my backup option if I couldn't find the 346P1 anywhere.

last dirge
#

this looks nice

deft pewter
#

Yeah, I love it. Enough width to have my IDE on 2/3 and Outlook/Teams/whatever on the remaining third. And the extra height means I can keep a terminal or something open under the IDE at all times while still having room to code.

#

I know there are higher res options if you spend more but that was a nice compromise. I think I paid £470 for it.

last dirge
#

the stupid KVM I got cost almost as much as that monitor

#

this shit's goin back

#

gonna steal the single monitor arm I got for my wife, give her the dual one with a VESA mount for a laptop

#

she'll be set up

deft pewter
#

Check how sturdy the arm is. If I ever use one with this, I'm getting one where the bracket is attached directly to the pole, not one that 'reaches' out. I'm not kidding about the weight of this thing.

#

I attempted to put it on my dual arm and the whole thing was leaning sideways.

the one I got has an adjustable gas shock

#

you have any software for easily snapping windows to set areas on the screen?

you can reuse the enclosure?

You could if the screw mounts lined up

isn't that a standard thing?

Not necessarily

The wd drives i shucked didn't have all 4 screw holes in the bottom in the right spot

#

I could only mount 2 screws to it

In my enclosure

they'll be going into a screwless enclosure

and the drives I pull from the NAS are WDs

I'm buying one, just to fix the array

Not everybody wants them

HA is about options

The app isn't required

You're commenting that ... there's an app 🤔

This is the not Home Assistant channel

There's a long list of options for things about Home Assistant below

If you're complaining that there's an app, then 🤷

Then... what's the point of your image posts?

last dirge

he's pointing out that "the best app is no app"

scenic radish
#

It's not a warning, don't worry xargs. I suppose what you've pointed out is ironic but I think the point is that you don't need to use an app to control things, the automations are what shine

last dirge
#

while on the install loading screen, there's a specific callout for the apps

scenic radish

But an app is available for those who want

clever mortar

This is about automation, but there's a fancy GUI too. Maybe that should be banned 😛

last dirge

is the app any better than the web UI, honestly?

ISTR the app uses the web UI

scenic radish

Notifications and location tracking if you want it I suppose

clever mortar

(and does other things too)

It's basically a web wrapper, but this time it actually makes sense to be

no, not prime

it's zoom

hence, 10-24

but it's still 11mm shorter than my prime lens

deft pewter
#

My bad.

last dirge
#

but you're right, it wasn't cheap

deft pewter
#

It's been a long time since I've done any photography but my favourite lens is/was my 100mm macro.

#

APS-C, so really it was more like 160mm.

last dirge

yeah, my camera's crop sensor too

but mirrorless though

pretty neat to watch the changes just from changing the distance

You should do 10mm portraits of people. Get right up in their faces and turn them into caricatures.

@last dirge sigma has a few “art” series lenses. The widest lens I have is 18-35mm f1.8

I don’t have a full frame camera either. I like crop sensors as I do portrait or macro photography mostly.

I got the sigma 16mm f1.4. Perfect for aurora photography.

So are you 10mm or 24mm yourself @last dirge ?

velvet horizonBOT
#

Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.

When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:

  1. What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
  2. What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
  3. Is the problem uniform or erratic?
  4. What's the exact error message?
  5. When did it arise?
  6. What exactly don't you "get"?
  7. Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?

You're just mapping parts of the file system, whether folders or individual files

I suspect it’s like vim golf after a while. The solutions are highly optimized for the problem and has bearly no real world application.

I can appreciate the power of regex when done properly. It beats having to code some long-winded alternative. It can just go way overboard.

And if no-one can maintain it... it was a waste of time 😄

I personally love regex’s. They are fun when done right.

Tl;dr probably deleted files that are still open somewhere taking space. Try rebooting and see if it helps

thick dragon
#

Have done multiple times. Looks like Docker isn't even loading now.

wet pilot
#

Something definitely isn't right then

#

Maybe a bunch of docker crap hanging?

thick dragon
#

Could be. Could be something to do with MariaDB not closing DB properly or something. Any idea how I'd debug it?

quartz ether
#

Kill the VM and start over? Hopefully backups are a thing you use?

thick dragon
#

Yeah, have a backup every few days. Not gonna help if it happens again though.

wet pilot
#

docker image prune -a

thick dragon
#

That freed up some space, thanks @wet pilot! Seems like the lsof error was related to an instance of Java that was spawned by a user that doesn't exist. Some weird Docker stuff no doubt. Should really remove Watchtower as it might be updating to stuff with breaking changes :/

wet pilot
#

There are some other docker commands like that that can help

#

That's the typical one though

thick dragon
#

So weird. NGINX Proxy Manager seems to be failing, but the image itself hasn't been updated.

#

Definitely something funky going on with Docker. Failing to start NGINX Proxy Manager and Unifi Controller.

wet pilot
#

Maybe try docker system prune

#

There's an extra space in there

thick dragon
#

I think it's something to do with the MariaDB instance. Because NPM is connecting to MariaDB too.

#

Everything seems fine, and HA seems like it can read from it just fine.

#

Biting the bullet and doing a full restore, then will see what disk usage is like. Surely it can't actually have that much used.

wet pilot
#

Try the system prune command

thick dragon
#

I'm pretty sure the disk is only using a few GB of space. When I ran du, that certainly seemed like the case. But df reported 100% usage. So no idea 😦 But yes, will run those commands when it comes back online.

wet pilot
thick dragon
#

Alright, I'm confused. I've given my server 40gb space in the VM, but perhaps it's just not mounted or something, because /dev/sda2 only has a capacity of 20gb.

#

Hmm, didn't think to resize the actual partition in the OS after changing the assigned space in ESXi -_-

thick dragon
#

Cool, that was more complicated than I expected, but fixed it up. Turns out I originally only gave Ubuntu a 16gb partition. Silly me!

#

Wow, the recorder integration is fucking smart! Turns out that my partition had been full since the 5th. It has been recording events locally, and now just caught up and wrote the events to the server. Bloody smart!

I ran HA on a Pi3 for a couple of years. Running on a Pi4 with an SSD should be fine.

Is there reliable way for running SSD with Pi4? I am new to all this and i searched for some guide but i didn't find any well documented tutorial. I have all the hardware, including SSD, but at the moment i am getting familiar with HA installed on sd card. I am searching for solution for most reliable setup so i can install my project and not to think about it anymore

#

I would love to include SSD, but if there is not reliable way currently for doing that, is running from an sd card and turning recorder off completely good enough?

clever mortar
#

Well, it depends on your install method 😉

velvet horizonBOT

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

  • If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204

  • If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714

  • If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842

  • Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

@dusky plank it's a revese proxy because it goes in reverse lol

@brazen fable: I just moved my NGINX Proxy Manager instance off my HA install for the very same reason. Wanted it on a more reliably always-on device. Now running on my Ubuntu Server VM. I am (of course) running Docker on it though. Why the reluctance to use Docker?

brazen fable
#

Because I already have a ton of always on machines, and many of my "must have" applications are windows only, so I'd rather have just the one fairly powerful always on windows machine than a bunch of less capable Linux/windows machines. So I use virtualization in windows and I get everything I want

@thick dragon

Plus having an always on machine to remote into from my phone/laptop when I need Horsepower is handy

Fair enough. There is obviously a lot of "must-have" applications that are also *nix only too, so depends on your use case.

@wet pilot to invoke this you hit alt and spacebar

@deft pewter liar!

#

this monitor's not VESA mountable

pure vine
#

Yay, I worked out how to get a device to request a static IPv6 suffix, rather than using DHCPv6

deft pewter
#

Which one did you get? The 346P or the older 346B? The P's definitely mountable.

last dirge
#

346B1

deft pewter
#

Other convenience
Kensington lock
VESA mount (100 x 100 mm)

#

Judging by the photos on that page, the mechanism to attach/detach the stand is even the same.

#

The photos of the rear of the monitor shows a square(ish) panel. That panel should have a little thumb thing you can push up away from the bottom of the square, and the bottom edge should then be free to come away. Lastly, lift the screen off the top of the square.

last dirge
#

it doesn't line up with the VESA mount I've got

deft pewter
#

Hmm. Bad mount? 😄

last dirge
#

maybe

#

it's fine with its own stand

deft pewter
#

I've had one in the past that was too chunky for the space allowed on the monitor.

last dirge
#

it's taller than the little stand my laptop sits on

#

so there's no way to say "for this input, use this KVM setting?

deft pewter
#

You mean like binding display inputs to peripheral inputs?

last dirge
#

I always have to switch both the input and the kvm when I want to switch?

deft pewter
#

I'll see if I can remember the steps. I only change the input source.

last dirge
#

the USB-C with my laptop is a no-go

deft pewter
#

USB Settings > KVM > Auto

last dirge
#

so I'm having to use the USB-c to A adapter and a DisplayPort cable

deft pewter
#

Then changing the source will also change the KVM.

#

Yeah, I'm using the same setup from my PC, then the USB-C for the MBP.

#

anyone using HA with Ecobee thermostat and Flair AC vents? I am considering them for my 2 story home.

wet pilot
#

smart vents are generally considered to be a "bad thing"

#

they can cause back pressure issues in the system which isn't great for the blower and or compressor

wintry crater
#

yep

#

check for dust 😄

wet pilot
#

unless you have a variable speed compressor + blower, single zone HVAC systems are tuned to handle the whole place. Closing things off causes pressure issues. You can already notice this by closing a door to a room and feeling the air rushing underneath

silent canyon
#

so I have looked into all the negative so far which is partialy the reason I am looking at flair, the system works with Ecobee and has a build in safety that never allows more than 1/3 of all your vents to be closed ever. Given that my home has 12 vents 4 which are downstairs on the the first floor, my thought was to gain the ability to close the downstairs ones once everyone is in bed enabling the upstairs to cool more efficiently .

wet pilot
#

probably better to look into a smart damper instead

silent canyon
#

incredibly expensive based on the quotes I have received so far.

#

that was my first option, it is now my last resort.

@last dirge too much light pollution on my island, but when I go to my mom's house the nearest neighbor is 1.5miles away and no lights 😄

last dirge

oh, tons of light pollution here too

#

also, my sensor was filthy

last plaza
#

Remote triggers are cheap

#

Fujitsu is more expensive because of teleconverter and uv filter kit included.

last dirge
#

UV filter is like $20 max

last plaza
#

I need to get one of those teleconverter. It cuts down light several stops, my f2.8 will probably be like f4.5

#

The polarized lens is a bit more expensive for me. Spent about $150+ on it

hushed basalt
#

@silent canyon get splits

#

Split systems have a shitload of advantages over ducted/central systems

#

@last dirge all filters are not created equal

#

I think the most expensive clear filter we had was aroumd the the $2k mark

last dirge
#

the lens is already UV coated

#

so having an extra UV filter on it is just for crash protection

hushed basalt
#

Yes but making clear glass that doesn't affect the image is seriously hard and expensive

static schooner
#

using a lens hood is good crash protection for a lens + it actually improves the image 🙂

hushed basalt
#

I would recommend a clear filter of some sort

#

It can save you from an expensive front element repair

#

But I wouldn't get an expensive lens and make it mediocre with a crappy filter

#

I'd look for something with anti-reflection coating as well

static schooner
#

do you guys not use lens hoods?

#

any part of the lens shouldn't be the first thing to impact something else (in my humble opinion). A piece of plastic is way cheaper, and it cuts down on glare

last dirge
#

depends on what you're shooting and where your lighting is

static schooner
#

I see a lot of happy snappers walking around with the lens hood reversed all the time. worst of all options

last dirge
#

my 35mm prime lens has a Hoya UV filter on it, 10-24 has a Chairo on it

#

prime lens came with a hood but I haven't shot anything where I've needed it yet

#

big lens came with a tulip hood, used it last night to try long exposure stuff to help block some pollution

#

the one on the prime lens kinda looks like a chisel-tip sharpie

static schooner
#

there's math behind the weird-looking ones. the cheap-o ones just give you a plastic cylinder

last dirge
#

but it goes on over a filter, so that's cool

static schooner
#

that's a weird one

last dirge
#

yeah

static schooner
#

I've never seen a square-ish one

last dirge
#

crop sensor

static schooner
#

but I guess it makes sense if it's targeting the sensor

last dirge
#

so that may be contributing

#

color calibration tools FTW

hushed basalt
#

Lens hood won't help you when you drop a 70-200mm in the bag

#

A clear filter can

#

Plus you still need to clean the lens and a clear will give you a sacrificial layer to clean

#

Rather than a $500+ element

#

Plus makes it a little bit harder for dust to get inside your lens which is the worst of all

#

Pro tip also. Use Pancro lens cleaner

#

Nothing else comes close

#

Buy it now and throw out whatever fluid you've been using before

#

Kimwipes are also good for tissues as well. Very cheap and easy to use.
