I can't believe it took me this long to find a font I like that has ligatures. Now I get all the fancy ass symbols instead of === and =>
All this cool stuff instead: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/blob/master/extras/ligatures.png
Like these?
And I cared... fucking around with my fonts and themes is probably more productive than most of my Friday afternoons 😄
Could've sworn I'd done more this week 😄
There's no way those graphs are accurate. I just merged a PR with 63 commits, all done in the last 2 weeks.
It reckons I've made 8 in that time 😂

@deft pewter unsure

I prefer to not not be sarcastic at all times
🐔

Awww, we got us a HA bromance coming along.
mono bad , atx good
actually mono is not bad ...compared to ....uh :))))
seriously...i like you both because u have so nice ideas/places/standards

yesterday read about 30 minutes about your link with script that parses an email..today the same with atx idea of bridged mails
If at first you don't succeed, script it
I don’t suppose anybody has an Apple TV & two HomePods using in stereo pair? I’ve been going through hell with mine just wanted to know if anybody else has had problems 😛
didn;t succeed and abandoned idea....hopefully a guy will answer on a forum
A robot could answer, or even a dog, don't pre-judge the type of intelligence that'll ignore help you
sure....i trust bugs bunny
Anybody use a NUC for HA? Thinking of downgrading from my rack server to something smaller with lower power. HA and Nextcloud are my heaviest containers, unsure if I should go with one powerful NUC or two cheaper ones
You should take the time to read channel topics.
I'm not asking for HA support, I wanted to discuss hardware
If only there were a channel dedicated to hardware...
Shitposting in here. HA talk in there.
That channel says its for HA support, which is why I didn't post in there.
all devices work well with ha... especially ha-mmer
yubikey peeps?
indeed, thanks
ha-bikey
Yeah. Got one in the mail now 😄
If I can set it up so that I never have to enter a OTP again, I'll be happy.
😎
I think it's just a button.
Oh... if you're looking at an NFC model, when they say to 'tap' it, they just mean holding it to your device.
ooh, there's one in development with a fingerprint reader
so, how the hell does this thing present itself to the OS?
HID?
are there browser plugins or nah?
You're better off asking @clear ferry. I've never used one.
I don't understand the "works with" unless there's something like that
he's asleep probably
it's like midnight there
Looks like it leverages this: https://webauthn.io/
Function WebAuthn, FIDO2 CTAP1, FIDO2 CTAP2, Universal 2nd Factor (U2F), Smart card (PIV-compatible), Yubico OTP, OATH – HOTP (Event), OATH – TOTP (Time), Open PGP, Secure Static Password
I'm hoping it comes with setup instructions so a noob like me can follow.
It'll be a challenge/response process like TOTP. I don't know what the actual mechanism for displaying the challenge is.
The way atx talked, the browser will show something and you just plug it in.
Browser support: https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016615020-Operating-system-and-web-browser-support-for-FIDO2
I freakin' love Yubikeys. I switched to Yubikeys from Google Authenticator about a year ago, and I will never go back. Not only are they great for TOTP 2FA, but they do so much more! In this video, I try to cover it all, and probably screw up a few facts - but oh well - that's not the point. The point is - you should be using Yubikeys.
GET ...
for noobs/idiots
such as myself
I love this video already. He's drawn a mouth on his mic 😂
and he's got the dino from the offline game on his shirt
his channel logo is a tide pod
I need to reset my password manager and redo all my password stuff
All of it? Worried you've been compromised?
I kinda stopped using it for a while so whatever's on it is probably out of date
Gotcha
it's pretty cool
uses little smart cards to store the password stuff
you lock/unlock it with a PIN
Compatible with Any Device, Natively Supported By Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Completely Open Source!
Yeah, just looked it up. Looks pretty cool.
oooh, wireless version coming soon
He's got the same keyboard as me. I only just realised I have a USB port on the rear when he said he leaves his plugged in 🤦♂️
ha
Won't be using it there anyway. Went for the USB C one for with the work laptop.
Weird
love it
Can't decide if I like it or not. Looks snazzy but I sometimes type with one hand across the whole keyboard if I'm lazy.
doesn't force any angles, can push it around like it's comfortable
Yeah, I can see the appeal.
started using it when I hurt my shoulder
could have half of it in my lap on a lapdesk where I didn't have to move my hand/elbow
Pretty handy
this yubikey thing doesn't look like it's very portable unless the app is on the key itself
I'm only halfway through the video, so I still know very little about how they work 😄
was it you arguing with me about gamestonk?
Looks like the magic is in U2F.
Arguing? That's a bit strong 😄 I said I don't think it's gonna take off.
He's made his money. He can afford to screw around more 🤷♂️
Can't really lose from where he's at unless they go bust. It's all the fools that bought in near the peak thinking it'd go higher that'll lose everything.
the authenticator app isn't on the key
YEah, the app is software. But it sounds like you only care about the app for TOTP. If you're doing U2F, you just have it plugged in.
yeah
I think I can use U2F with both GitHub and Azure AD, which is the things I hate logging into constantly through the day.
Screw push. Gotta use the Microsoft Authenticator for that.
as opposed to what?
Google Authenticator for me. But I don't bother with my phone anyway... I use the OTP integration on HA 😄
Copy/paste the code from my dashboard.
eh, I don't like that you can't lock Authenticator
I lock my phone... 🤷♂️
as do I but if someone gets access to my phone there's no additional layer there
At the end of the day, if someone has physical access, it's game over.
I just realized that this would make me carry shit in my pockets
my phone handles pretty much everything except getting into my house
so I just carry my wallet and phone
I don't carry much either. Phone, slim wallet, car key, two house keys. I don't mind adding the Yubikey to that.
Does it unlock on proximity or do you have to use the app?
uses BLE from my phone
Noice. So if you lose your phone, you're fucked?
backup NFC cards
So you're still carrying extra junk around? 😄
people with iPhones complained A LOT so they made a fob available
card goes in the wallet, still nothing in my front right pocket

The bit on quines is brilliant. Hadn't heard of them before, they're quite clever.
Holy crap. The Ouroboros Quine is amazing.
Thanks for suggestion gonna add it to watch ⌚ list 😀
I just watched the whole thing. It was great. Really varied but all on-topic. I really liked him as a speaker too.
I just bought three different dell sff i5s for about 100.00 each.
On e-bay. Not for HAss but should be very capable.
Nice. I grabbed an old i5 8g ram build from a decommissioned dell from work then just bought a new ssd for it.
Glad I came here and asked, excited to mess with docker and Debian
Cool....you won’t be disappointed. Looks like ATX hooked you up. He is good people, just don’t introduce him to your wife.
Or your dog
Hello everyone! Just installed my first actual wall switches for my ceiling lights after making a thermostat with esp32home and using a kasa wall plug on a lamp. Just wanted to show off and recommend Wally on thingiverse, it's a scad file for parametric wall plates.
Kasa by tp-link. I think this is a hs200? I bought 3 because they work pretty seamlessly with homeassistant, are less than $20, and don't require an internet connection or account to use. I think you need internet to set them up but you can skip the account step.
dear lord and I thought 'home automation' people are nuts
gamers are absolutely mad
@umbral glade be careful, Kasa/TP-link recently tried forcing firmware updates to their plug switches that would require cloud integration
Yeah, I noticed. But I think they've realized they made a mistake, and have handled it well. And It was a while ago.
@molten osprey you think that's bad? I was helping my wife figure out what's going on with her printer that her work gave her and I found out SHE REMAPPED CTRL+Z TO DO SOMETHING ELSE
hehe
well i mean ... there is no substitute for ... well its your wife so lets say ... ingenuity?
haha
My brother is a gamer who doesnt even own a computer. I'm a nerd with zero interest in gaming. But I offered to help him with a custom gaming server, figuring "how hard can it be?" 🙂
have you seen how huge the new graphics cards are?
I have .. and thats fine, I mean you buy expensive gear because you're into it.
What I dont understand is "GAME SERVER MODDING" .... i mean ... you pay a company good money to buy a game, and then you go and reprogram it because "you dont like it the way it was built"
thats as silly as buying a wifi light bulb and then going "i dont like the firmware on here" and uploading your own
wait ...
random dude in his garage building a freevalve-inspired system for a Miata
It’s finally here! Thanks to everyone for all the support over the past few months, the response to everything is still mind-boggling. While this build isn’t done, This is the big milestone that I’m pushing for. I’ll continue to tinker with it in the future and I’m here for ongoing development, but please watch the ending of this video for more ...
She's just THAT good
also her: what did you do?!? Undo it!

Literally every smart plug in my house...
YouTube's certainly taught me that there are so many talented people doing so many things that aren't what they're best at

That whole movie is... a thing
Looked at a house this morning
Might be the one.
Needs some work though. But it's a big block on a good street and the house size is huge.
A big clock?
Big ben?
Oh, big block
373 cu in?
One I was looking at 107 + 107m2
But I am 99% sure I won't get it
643sqm block, 4 bed 2 bath, study, theatre, games room and study nook, plus open plan living room/kitchen
Big house too
DAMN
Only think I'm worried about is the bathrooms
I think the have no waterproofing and they tile/grout has failed
So I'd need to redo the bathrooms completely, plus let them dry for 6 months
That can get very expensive
I mean I'd want to redo the bathrooms anyway since they're crap
One at once is doable
Yeah especially since the kids are still small
Would be a pain if they were teenagers
The place I looked at had a huge shower room, and 2 seprrate toilets, which was odd
Yeah, defo
The ensuite isn't too huge here
Bigger than what we are in now but not big enough for an ensuite bath
This has no ensuite. Ensuite isn't somwthing I see in Sweden much tbh
Which would have been aammaazinngg
I don't know why tbh
Ensuites are pretty standard in Aus fortunately
Saunas are popular though, this house has one
Bathrooms aren't even that old relatively
Perfect for raccoons
We need the big house though
2 kids, having 3 isn't ruled out, plus a home office,
So I need an office as well as a nook to use a normal computer
No more kids for me anyway, one is 11 one is 17 :D
Possibly grand children soon haha
I need a bit house for my gaming room that I will probably never use and for hoarding all my stuff
But not as big as you need
Good luck if you decide to make bids on it :)
Yeah I probably want to have a gaming pc setup
I 1000% am not going in my office when I'm not working
Door will stay shut all weekend etc
I will need to be able to work from home, but I don't normally. But yeah, I get that
I work from home at least 3 days a week
Want a sim racing rig and somewhere I can play minecraft and stuff with 11 year old
And I'd do it full time if i ever went out and started working for myself
This place has a huge activity room with a door
Like big enough for a king size pool table and couches sort of size
So will probably end up putting a gaming setup there.
Plus all the kids stuff
@rare condor do you know much about bathroom waterproofing
morning
@hushed basalt Sounds really good tbh
The house I was looking at will be a battle of the wallets, and mine is pretty thin
Poor Atx
That wasn't one of your better ones.

i need a small, low power device for pfsense... I’ve seen some floating around here but I cant find any cheap ones rn, what can you guys advise?
I run on a j1900 minicomputer from AliExpress
150$?
100 when I bought it
I see, muchas gracias
sbc would be my preference but a small celeron would be overwhelmed by pfsense I believe?
and yeah, 2 Nics is the thing which prevents me from using a old laptop
too unreliable for me, just looking up the difference for a e3845 and a j1900 and I can't see a difference except gpu freq... Intel 😤
ok the e3845 has Intel AES instructions built in, maybe thats useful for vpn encryptions
any preferences for Intel I211AT or I210 eth?
Put in an offer on the house
Mother in laws boyfriend has lots of trades contacts so between DIY and mates rates we can redo the bathrooms probably 25-30% cost of a full service remodelling company
he buys houses, meanwhile I take 30 minutes to decide for a 160$ computer
hot market, cold walls
- and hot walls in summer
I'll be doing a lot of improvements if we get it
Extra insulation in ceiling, probably get insulation blown in, sort out some sort of shade for north wall
@dusky plank just use a proper VPN like wireguard, no need for that aes hogging openvpn 🤣
Took me a moment to realise why the north wall needed protection from shade 🤦♂️
Crazy upsidedowners.
openvpn does wonders if only http and :80 is allowed 😉
wireguard for anything else for sure
I am waiting with baited breath over the house I am looking at, official viewing is tommorow, but we were there early
would be super super nice
Plenty of room to store your loot?
Its never big enough 😄
I should get a house with two garages
One for workshop and music studio in the top floor
And one for cars
that would be nice, i've got a two-car "open" garage with a 15 m2 storage, not much around there during the winter, too cold to do anything.. And there's only barely room for one car (due to my crap taking half the space)
on the storage i've got drums (another but e-kit next to me in this "office"). Just about no room to play on neither
that storage was supposed to be more of a working area for me, do some small electrical things, build things and stuff but no, its piled up with everything.. Coming back to "never big enough" 😄
This would be big enough. Just hope I win the battle of the wallets
Hope it all works out for you @last cedar , sounds indeed nice!
Thanks!
In my old house, on 2 acres, I was planning on building a workshop in the back when I retired. Told the wife, every morning going to get up, kiss you goodbye and continue like nothing changed. Just my new work location would be workshop 😉
Home for lunch and then fight rush hour to get back home at night 🤣
2 acres, nice
Ha, now I have .07
Is that a raspi with sd card @clear ferry?
i see floor
Floor is NICE
Happens twice a year@lapis cipher
You need more outlets 🤣
Every home would be just a little bit happier with a proper workshop
Work area for computer lab, soldering and building small stuff like models etc
Would be nice
Gaming room
Thanks all, i just got a microscopic inspiration to go clean my storage a bit, back probably in few mins..
I'd still like to have a traditional mancave of some sort, good AV, comfy couches, fridge and then added probably with some instruments, preferably sauna/showers next to it, own outdoor with patio or such.. Then again i'd probably be there all alone so i can just be all alone here with the computer..
there wasn't more proper term for that (do please educate me), mine would be neutral anyways, no al bundy stuff 🙂
Oh, didn't think of it like that hahaha
Sorry :P
Well I am dreaming anyway, need to buy it first
Hello Jozef fritzl @lapis cipher
Man caves and she sheds 😉
Sure, why not 🙂 Thought not sure how i was turned into Josef from above, need to add some "non-native english speaker" disclaimer 😮
Hmm I wonder how long it would take me to run cat6 cables in a house
To be honest I'm not sure if I cbf'd running multimode
Chasing walls would be a pig
Is cat6 what one would choose today, though?
Not saying I would need any more but who knows what crazy shenanigans you'll need to support in the future.
yeah i'd go cat6 now if you're running new cable
atleast, cat6 over cat5
maybe some fiber if you're feeling extra fancy
I have nothing but the vaguest of ideas around this but with cat7 and cat8 existing, is not one of those more futuristic?
real men have a complex system of pulleys and levers for data transfer
i'd probably roll cat6a or cat7 if I were wiring up a house tho
tcp/ip over pidgeon or gtfo, pls
maybe fiber if I'm feeling rich
i'm a bit in the dark on fiber tech
what's the one that uses an LED for signaling for cost at the expense of range?
multimode
right
that's prob what I'd roll with since I doubt you'd have runs longer than that could handle in a residential setup
if I were doing fiber
i remember seeing a video of some HFT guys that just have a giant spool of fiber to simulate intercontinental fiber latency
wouldn't want to have to stuff it in a wall without some serious financial heft
Cat6a for any new installations
@cedar chasm if you get the plastic instead of glass fibers it's way less finnicky I've heard
at the expense of range once again
like a TOSLINK cable kinda
that's interesting; didn't cover that at all
but also probably still good enough for residential
here is an example
a lot more bendable and easier to terminate/splice
or so I've heard
also I would like to take a second to bring up that toslink is awesome and it's a shame it never got updated to support newer stuff like atmos
optical isolation solves so many stupid problems in audio equipment
and having an option other than HDMI for modern surround sound would be cool
i mean if you need 10km runs I guess glass is good
otherwise I don't see much reason to use it
MMF is only 300m anyway
yeah
SMF is 70km if you need
i thought single mode could go way farther than 70km with the right transceivers
like
intercontinental
Most installations don't, but yes you can get pretty impressive LR
99% of the sfps I install are 40 or 70km ones
100% of the fiber installs I do don't exist because I've never used it 😛
Good thing I install...... A couple of thousand sfps per year 
if I get the job I'm interviewing for this upcoming week
first thing I'm doing is buying a house
and i'm 100% gonna wire it up with fiber
is there some way to convert optical ethernet to rj45?
for devices that I can't put a transceiver in
There are converters yes
solid
Up to gigabit
in most cases I'd prob end up having a switch
with fiber in breaking out to multiple cat6
but we'll see how it ends up playing out
also looking forward to finally being able to modify my house since I won't be renting any more
server closet with dedicated 3 phase 240v 😄
i'll probably end up tacking on addons like a catholic family lol
and all the home automation accoutrements ofc
Doesn't every rented place have 3 phase outlets for servers?
renting 
Hey. I am doing my best raw meat lover!
Banks don't like raccoons
This happened last time I was in a bank
That explains why they're uncomfortable giving you a mortgage 🤣
double-headed multi-legged raccoon
I know the way now though
show me de way
This is the way
just went to install a new roll of filament aaaaaaaaaaaand it's 3mm instead of 1.75
womp womp
dat fail doe
What is 1,25mm between friends tho
Any recommendations for a wall mounted touch screen?
There are better channels to answer but tablets seem to be popular, like fire 10 etc
What channel do you recommend? I quickly looked through and wasn't sure. I guess maybe the Support > Other?
Thanks.
hf
Yeah, d vice es
I will just run a 10A socket to server rack, on its own RCD
16A 3 phase is overkill
Swedish standard
ah
1,5mm2 cable 10A singple phase twin and earth, or 2,5 for 16A 4mm for 20A etc
Can run 5 core for 3 phase
Planning to run 4mm to stuff like oven and hob, and 2,5 to kitchen etc where they have prolonged loads
Charging electric car for 11 hours on a 10A socket with 1,5mm seems dodgy to me
charging at that low power seems dodgy to me
Well
but, what do I know 🙂
I charge at 32A 240V single phase
So you really need a proper charging station that runs 16A 3 phase to get it done quick
if I need to "get it done quick" I go to the supercharger that's 4 miles away and charge at 190kW
Getting 25A or 35A fuses installed isn't always possible thanks to thin cable coming in
4mm or 6mm coming in isn't unheard of, can only use 20 or 25A main fuse then
that's pretty insane
It is
I've got 4/0 incoming
Gonna proper do us over in the long run
Also, the fees for having such a big fuse is astronomical
16A costs 380 euro a year
63A costs nearly 2000 euro a year in fees
how much is power though?
no way
We pay about 70 euro for 450kWh in appartment
About half is fees and taxes, and half electric
So like charging a hybrid might cost like 1,5 euro
plus membership fee
Electric is expensive
Would love to live with solar and batteries, not gonna happen yet in Sweden, would need a huge bit of land with panels
panels are getting cheaper and cheaper
I play with the thought of trying to get something like the Tesla Powerwall set up, just to get power from the utility company at night, while electric is cheap, then use it the rest of the day. at least for some of the less taxed circuits in my home
there's a guy in california that sells kits to build your own powerwall from 18650s
lol, how many is that
The systems sold in Sweden are expensive
we have this at home @cedar chasm https://www.e3dc.com/
don't know if its avaiable whereever you live (from central europe)
Die preisgekrönten Stromspeicher-Lösungen von E3/DC speichern den Strom Ihrer Photovoltaik Anlage, wenn Sie ihn nicht nutzen. Erfahren Sie jetzt mehr!
And on bad days don't get a lot of output
Nois, that's probably more likely to be compatible with the regulatory regimes here
Would need monster panels, and a lot of them, south facing and enough battery power to keep me going. Would have to do the maths, but almost certain it is impossible
As it is today, most sell to the grid, and use mains otherwise
Watching his video now, looks fun.. Blows my mind that 18650s are part of laptop batteries
Because the batteries cost more than you save by going off grid
Oh, I haven't saved a dime in my entire life
I'm a losing project
Most things I do is for the lulz
You will receive 1 EOW-MBX03-US master control with each order! It is brand new in the box as well. The master box is used to connect up to 20 of these inverters together. So if you order 1 or 20 inverters you will receive the 1 master control box. If you ever want a large solar array now or in the future you will neve
run your whole neighborhood on an inverter
If you could short-sell me, you'd be getting rich very soon
are you on that goofy 50Hz?
That's why the lights flicker so people can be killed in tunnels
Some proper odd stuff in Sweden
in the movies
Like the Swedes
But yeah, living off grid would be easier with wood burning stove for heat and cooking (oven) and hot water, a lot less consumption
With a well insulated "cabin" built correctly, off grid would work
@last dirge know any details about Tesla inverter?
But would need to use as little energy via electric
Using more energy

hi Guys, I went into INFO page on my HA and it is saying that I am using an unsuported SUPERVISOR viersion. I have not made any changes to original instalation, only added a few add-ons...
What could be the problem?
Hey alex, no support in this channel check:
Configuration -> Info for your Installation Method
Then go to one of the four Installation method channels 🙂
madaoZ, sorry for this.
no harm, no foul. have a nice day or night
tks, daytime here still - Brazil
no such luck where I am
Looks about right
At your age I'm surprised you were able to hold it
That we knew already

Is there a donate button for HomeAssistant? Or should i just buy a couple of months of Nabu casa?
No, and yes if that's what you want, but that pays NC, not the few thousand HA devs 😉
Send BTC to badtelcotech
I'm doing i "set aside x bucks a month for services you love" and it's HAs turn.
I'll make sure it gets there
Oh. I only have 2 BTCs i'm afraid.
Maybe i can throw in about 40 ETH as well.
Can someone explain to me how bitcoins work
Gpus go brr
And do they have any value to society in the real world other than speculative assets
Fossil fuel to stonks converters
Since there's just a specific amount it'll create a value.
I guess
But i sold at 19k so fuck me.
I'm sorry for your liss
That should be loss but I'm leaving it
I thought about buying a bitcoin when it was $250 but I was too poor
Mmmmm, easy to look back
Yeah I'm not really a fan of speculative as a whole
I'm really more of a business investment sort of type. Invest in something I can actually control the destiny of
I should have gone the right way into bank vault, but, alas
Have you tried asking nicely
The only safe way to save money is give it to me. I guarantee to manage it well
Can I give you atx's money
I'll give you $1 of atx's money for every $0.50 of mono's money you give me
Everyone's a winner
I got lucky and got a job in like August 2019.
I wouldn't recommend it though haha. But no way I was going to have time to learn development working full time with a baby
Chewed up a bit of our savings, but can't predict everything in life
Yeah, exactly. Have been in same boat twice since 2017, wasting savings because of BS jobs
Plus I didn't have to go to university for 4-5 years
That's a huge bonus
And I ended up getting paid $20k above graduate rates for most companies with no degree or experience
So the upsides will catch up quickly
I think I might be the only one ever hired by the company with no industry experience and/or degree
So the best way to sponsor HA is to get 31 days tree trial and then pay for it? 😄
I also accept gold bullion

But to be honest I probably won't have the time to use it for 6 months at least
We need to secure a house, move house, do up the house, plus a second baby arriving in July,
I doubt I'd even unbox it haha
Maybe a gaming pc. Our personal computer is a laptop with no GPU so I haven't gamed since my server died and I had to donate my desktop to the cause
Then that desktop died so I had to buy a new cpu/mobo/ssd combo for it hahah
Cries
You need some sort of fun present
I probably need a better monitor and standing desk though
You earned it
Since I work from home part time
Get a height adjustable one
Yeah i was looking at one of the premium brand ones that have good motors and everything
And have presets
So you have have 1/2/3/4 buttons for preset heights as well as manual adjustments
I want the new Dell 40" ultrawide monitor but that's like $2.5k AUD lol
Ouchhhhh
I have to get to bed anyway.
I would just put some money aside for something fun and buy it when you move. Whatever you decide!
Nn all!
I paid $50 for a used adjustable desk, $35 for a triple monitor gas adjusted holder, $120 for a backapp chair and $300 for 2x4k monitors, I'm set in the home office
Now claim back $5k in expenses...
Well, still waiting for that work from home compensation, last I heard it was $1000, they are just arguing of it is one time or yearly
We had a monthly payment for our bills. They stopped it at the beginning of the winter, right as it got cold and we wanted payments for our bills 😂
But I'm spending less on fuel and lunches now, so I'm still up.
Yeah... I doubt there are many places in the UK that generous. It's called Rip-Off Britain for a reason.
Having expenses paid while away from home is normal here. Free lunch at the office? Nah.
The way most places view it is that if you're at your 'normal place of work', you pay for everything yourself.
I have never really had an office
I work on the go
And visit the office... When bored
Yeah, that's my goal. Maybe once a month 😄

We're not even done with the current pandemic and people are picking up other animal diseases already... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56140270
I go in about twice a week
I like it though, it's good to be around the team,
plus we go out for breakfast Friday morning
I just wish they had better monitors at the office. USB-C docks or monitors would be nice.
Dicky usb-c to hdmi dongles don't do 4K over 30Hz
Oh... while you're here. That PR came in at just over 2500 lines by the time all tests were written 😂
About 200 lines of production code.
lol... so apparently humans are responsible for the extinction of prehistoric creatures 🤣
We weren't around 1mil years ago. Humans are around 200k years old.
Otherwise, I'd agree with the rest. We shouldn't be messing with nature. We can't even preserve what we have, we shouldn't be introducing other species into an ecosystem.
Wooly mammoths only died out about ~10000 years ago
That's our adolescent years in civilisation
But it was probably global warming
Some mammoths sure. That mammoth died 1mil years ago.
Australia was prehistoric since 1788 so it's all relative
Until the penal colony started up, right?
Do the Aboriginal people have their own written system?
No
So strange to think that different cultures around the world progressed at such different rates until exposed to each other.
Especially when some cultures had languages and even systems of law and government thousands of years ago.
Yeah it's crazy how tiny variations can snowball
The lack of nutrtion and water probably was a big factor
And the crazy number of deadly critters...
Relatively infertile soil and dry land just means less people could be supported
Too busy trying to stay alive to come up with literature.
Never developed agriculture so less people could be supported
Less people just means less innovation
90% of the worlds population lives in the northern hemisphere
It was probably 99% back then
Makes sense. The earliest civilisations were in rich areas.
Estimates say there was ~500k people in Australia before 1788
That's in a country the size of USA
And literally cut off from the world by rising sea levels
Compared to 3,929,214 in 1790 for the USA. I expected the difference to be bigger.
8 times smaller... but the USA was the land of opportunity. People were heading over in their droves.
I was going to ask that. I never knew how people reached Australia in the first place. Land bridge during an ice age?
Yeah
Image result for highest sea levels have ever been
20 thousand and 60 thousand years ago the sea levels were 135 and 110m lower respectively
Side note, look at how high the sea levels were half a billion years ago
Stuff like this always makes me feel so small. I know 135m isn't much when you're talking distance... but for mean sea level to change that much, that's a massive amount of water.
That's why places have "hills" a certain level inland from the coast. That used to be the coast
I remember our science teacher in high school to us to the hills
And showed us the seashell fossils
Trying to find a 'simulator' for sea level rises. Best I can find is one that goes to +60m... but that means my house becomes a seafront view 😮

I think the simulator would need to move the continental plates around as well
Wow. Adelaide wouldn't do well 😄
To show the million year span sea level rises
Wasn't thinking of the past, was just curious what things would look like if they go up even more.
But yeah we'll probably be overttaken by AI before then
And nothing of value was lost
But yes most cities will have sea walls in the futurr
Doesn't need anywhere near 60m either
It's scary shit and it'll start in our lifetimes.
Well maybe not Atx's
And on that cheery note... I'm gonna call it a night. 1am here 👋
Chances look good of us getting this house

😠
Only way to hedge our bets is to start building those O'Neil sylinders in orbit, yo. Mother Earth wants us drowned, fried, crushed, shaken or in lockdown.
Tonight's drink: The Forbidden Sour
1 ounce bourbon
1 ounce Pama pomegranate liqueur
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
This is way better than it has any right to be...
I mean, I do, yeah... aren't you in another country, though?
You didn't read the recent papers on quantum teleportation of raccoons?
@clear ferry how are your bluetooth temp sensors going
To be honest I'd prefer just the simple zigbee ones. Why are the Bluetooth ones so cheap
while we are on your sensors, atx, was it you that had Aqaras in the shower? Found a usecase for it here too
@hushed basalt so far so good
I think I'd just stick with the zigbee
@cedar chasm I do not, I have one in the bathroom though
I have mad fever dreams sometimes, guess #the-water-cooler /#lounge/#bunchofcunts made it in one night
I'd have fever dreams too if I used Watchtower.
Watchtower is more like absinthe. so much fun until you cut your ear off
You mean it's like a chainsaw. Makes it easy to remove limbs... of all types
A friend of mine shared this
That just sounds like someone who has never worked in IT lol
It sounds like somebody who doesn't actually think TBH
Most people here probably do not work in IT and they can handle everything just fine 🤷
worked in IT for ... pretty much my entire career 😉
But, I understand how to assess risk
Risk isn't binary, it's shades of grey, and thresholds, and ...
Yeah I don't want google or chinese hackers to lock my doors, but if you're paranoid you can just keep everything on a local router that isn't even connected to the internet
It's like folks who worry about Z-Wave security - it's a pretty niche problem
'wired to the Internet of Things' 🤢
IoT is a concept, not an actual entity. I hate that people misuse that phrase so often.
On this note, seriously considering selling my little sonos and going to yamaha exclusivly
When the sonos works it is great. When it shits the bed though, it is a pressure washer job.
Slightly annoyed how smart home stuff like that is when it isn't being smart
Yamahas sound way better anyway. Especially if you rev them up a little.
Have a sonos one sl in the bedroom atm, sound is amazing to fill a room, not for critical listening, but about once a month ish it drops off the network and has to be restarted and go in via thr app to find it. It then stops responding for a few minutes, then it works
It is on a wired connection that is solid (my own cable I crimped myself and tested)
But we have a yamaha av amp in living room, it is great. Only one of their cheaper ones but it sounds really good
Weird, never had an issue myself with my Sonos
Spotify Connect and Sonos ... that sometimes fails, but that's usually a Spotify issue 😄
It may end up being spotify tbh
Don't rely on spotify for baby lullabys
It is probably dns
Ask me how I know
It is always dns
So. Many. Little. Hands. 🦝
All the people who don't know where the lounge support channel went
It's great, more time to talk about raccoons
But yeah, not overly happy with that sonos thingie
It is same with trådfri gateway too, but everyone knows it is crap so no worries there
@last cedar yamaha paired with klispch ...musch better than sono
Mmm, running yamaha plus xtz in living room
Sonos is just a small room filler in bedroom atm
Mounted with rclone, and then remounted with rclone crypt
It's a bit icy here, so I'm glad the wife has studded tires
I'm sad our snow and ice has gone, it was nice while it lasted
Only because no-one had to drive in it 😄
I went out to collect a takeaway last Sunday and some of the roads were pretty bad still.
Driven in it more than once - it was fine
Then again, I have all-season tyres
Not as good as winter tyres, but way better than summer tyres that most UK drivers use
Couldn't tell you what tyres I have on. They're just the stock ones that came with the car.
Likely summer ones then...
Yup
madness
All season and winter tyres have little marks to let you know
I make my wife angry every time I go out in the snow. The way out of our cul de sac has a couple of tight corners but the roads are wide and there are never cars parked there... so I test the traction 😄
🤣
I'd rather know how it handles before I get onto busy roads 🤷♂️
I got to test the traction without that - our roads were bad enough that you went sliding around regardless
😂
I just apply a little oversteer and see how much it takes me to start going sideways. It's all good fun.
And unlike what seems like the majority of drivers, I know what to do to recover from a skid.
Mind you, I also got to watch the FedEx van try to go up the hill and turn left. Instead he went up the hill and right, at an angle 🤣
Yeah, knowing your car matters. I much prefer FWD over RWD for limited grip situations
I did get to spend a while playing with a RWD drive car in mud, and it wasn't half as easy to manage as FWD
I honestly don't know whether ours is FWD or AWD. Would never want a RWD.
As soon as the back goes, you're just trying to push the back end further in the wrong direction. What a stupid idea 😄
Sneaky way to tell is by tyre wear - if front or rear tyres wear faster they're typically the driving wheels
Of course, this requires you to be paying attention, or have replaced tyres already
burnout ....is the most postive way
Yeah... only 2000 miles in on this 15 month old car... tyre wear isn't a clue yet 😄
Used to do 8-10k a year pre-Corona. We wouldn't want to be without a car but it was the worst time to buy a new one 😄
Ironically I do more miles now
Before the car was really only used at the weekend, or for a short trip to the train station
Now no trips to the train station, instead more shopping during the week and a weekly round trip to both sets of parents to drop off food
Waits for complaints from people who don't have a tenth of that download speed
That's about my download speed... my upload is a tenth of that 😦
Does anyone thing Wandavision episodes are too short
I won't go into any spoilers,
But 30 minutes is ridiculous. Every episode feels like it's at least 10 minutes too short
30 minutes? Don't forget to knock off the 7 minutes of credits and 2 minute recap...
We're watching it and it pisses us off.
And that's before getting started on the 2 wasted episodes at the beginning 😠
It should've been maybe 4 or 5 hour long episodes, with the first two episodes done a lot quicker.
Yeah the concept seems good overall, but it's a way too short format with a lot of waste
General MCU cheese over eveything of course. Plus the layer of Disney over that as well
I love the concept. It's just a shame that it took until about season 4 to actually get any plot and season 7 to start to lift the veil.
For a 9 episode series, that's terrible pacing.
Side note to our conversation earlier
If sea levels went back to their peak height, the eiffel tower would be completely underwater
It'd be a shame to lose such a memorable landmark. Can't say the same about the rest of Paris.
I wouldn't worry about it, it would take hundreds of millions of years to get to that point
Depends how much more we screw up
I doubt whatever dominant species of Earth by then would care
I wish that other ISP would want to deliver here
The ring builders will be back by then to fix it.
I mean we'll be lucky to see 6 inches of sea level rise in our lifetime
I could get 1000\1000 instead of 500\500 for the same price
Will destroy a 0m above sea level island
you mean Holland @hushed basalt
If you rely on a sea dam in the 20th century then you deserve what's coming
Yeah, a whole lot of people are going to have to relocate.
morning
morning
relocate to orbital space colonies
and when that happens, naturally the next step is:
I would say people would just dam cities if they're affected
mechs and war in space
Basically it would be dams along rivers
BELTA WALLA
But that's at least hundreds of years away for most
Just make amphibious cars and we'll be fine. Everyone wants a boat, right?
Oh, and sorry about Sydney in that gif I posted
Basically it'll look like that
No way capitalists would abandon real estate
We'll build the greatest wall you've ever seen
And the poor will pay for it :)
And Mother Earth will pay for it
That sounds familiar
The expanse is probably the most realistic depiction of the 24th century
Within the bounds of our ability to predict the future. Which is pretty poor
Well at least there's fusion power... that's always only 10 years away.
And if we can't predict things 10 years out, I don't have much hope for any predictions centuries out...
fusion has been making leaps
it's honestly incredible seeing as it's been sitting below the "will never happen" funding level for the last 40 years
It's getting better, sure... but it's still 10 years away.
The racoon hamster wheel turbine industry will never let fusion power become mainstream
YbCo superconductors are a Big Deal™️
among many other advancements in the last few years
keep an eye on SPARC et. al.
I was incredibly impressed I had stored my rclone crypt config for my plex cloud storage
there's some above break even fusion reactors in production rn
if those work, which there's no reason they shouldn't, expect commercial production by 2050
as a realistic timescale
Noice. 30 years time. So I'll get to enjoy this when I retire, if I'm not already dead by then.
I should print out my rclone crypt keys and put them in the safe
together with a copied yubikey
we're basically borrowing time to get fusion working by ruining the planet
Just upload to GitHub
Public repo only, thanks.
Use a githubs action and a secret to get around that pesky credential denying hook
Then just echo the secrets in your public action
Or use shitty applications that stdout everything
Urgh I can't believe the appdaemon container actually sed's your secret variables into your config file
I was playing Untitled Goose Game with the 5-year old the other day.
10/10 would recommend. I've never heard her laugh like that.
I don't recommend playing it with your non gamer wife though
My wife gets motion sickness from any 3d game 😦
Like anything above background parallax.
my wife only plays fantasy games and car racing games 🤣
We've successfully played Overcooked together, though.
fable and burnout, that's her heaven
I loved Burnout. Shame they stopped making them.
Wife didn't care about the race modes though, only the crash modes 😂
What is the difference between Adguard home and pihole? Any personal opinions about it?
Are they game modes too?
hi everyone! i just joined this server and wanted to say hello. i've been tinkering with home assistant for about six months now and already found an answer to a tough question in the channel archives here. what an awesome community!
Hi mmcg, I have good news.
That gum you like is going to come back in style!
finally! this milk is going cold on me...
talk about slippery.. this winter's worst weather when it comes to driving out there, raining supercooled water..
We have that a few times every winter
Always fun when the rain freezes as you are wiping
Does anyone here use ubuquiti?
Ubiquity.. idk how to spell it
I am creating a new home network and idk what access points to get
@clear ferry you missed your cue.
enterprise level equipment or gtfo?
Any sysadmin here that uses Packer and Ansible Collections, that wants to help reproduce/confirm an issue?
https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/10666
@deft pewter I bit my tongue
I need to set up some email notifications now that I have started doing multi site backups properly
That I can correlate into HA and trigger other stuff
This has been an odd week...
I've had to wear a Pager. Felt like That Guy
I didn't even know pager networks existed anymore
Can't be cheap
Last I saw one.... Was in 95 or 96
Well, here you go.
With the 7-segment LCD and everything.
It's got a really nice green backlight. I wish more things used that nowadays.
what up, almost exactly what I did last week
Experienced the same issue? Of the Ansible Collections not installing?
lol, did not see the issue, thought was the generic packer site, lets see
Created an Home Assistant appliance using Packer and Ansible?
nah, work related. created new iamges for customers. Just Ubuntu20 is misbehaving ( image build fine, but novnc console is just outputting dashes)
I think I did not pulled any collections from galaxy. will try after work tomorrow
Using the ansible-local provisioner type?
yep
Work-related stuff is cool. Can the HA-related stuff go to a HA-related channel? 😉
accurate
are there any studies done with help of HA? cant find anything on google scholar
You could always tag the mods. I bet they'd know.
