hi to everybody
🖕
morning
Saw this and thought of you bastards @clever mortar @deft pewter
But your accents are even more gibberish
Well, you're a fine one to talk 😛

Oy! You haven't heard my accent
I'm proper

I'll have you know I enunciate clearly. Can't stand it when people do silent t's 🤢
psssh
I bet you sound like Robbie Williams in that christmas movie
where he is a dog
The Magic Roundabout
Dick Van Dyke cockney or gtfo
@deft pewter your messages over in #diy-archived looks like a reimagining of Fight Club for the discord format 😂 op having deleted their side of the conversation
They even deleted their Reddit post 🤣
Is that yet another person getting so offended by being asked to not be a hole that they delete everything in a huff?
I haven't seen that in... days
hOW daRE YOu cRITisiZe mY pOOr ChoiCEs
but I thought implementing my mqtt server in the cloud and putting all my different services in their own vlan was a great idea
ooof, I have to start preparing my case study for the job I'm applying for
zzzzzzzzzzz
#thatfeeling when you have fixed all customer problems within 2 hours
you fired them?
is there some device known that can „eat“ light? I mean like a bulb distributes light but in reverse. and device not being black hole
yes
gifs 👏 do 👏 not 👏 help
You want to "eat" light you need sunglasses
or a black hole
Or just close your eyes
i mean vantablack is able to not reflect up to a certain percentage of light
Not reflect != eat
If you manage to absorb light then there's many scientists who'd like to meet you

thats what i wanted to hear! just curious
I'd suggest just turning off the light
For now
until you have reached your superposition
Not reflecting is "easy" in science terms, but even that's expensive
I'm impressed they wanted to line a car with vantablack
that seems like a great way to create vehicular accidents
they did, saw that x6 last year in munich
I loved the video of them doing that to a car, that car was nuts
Somebody then layered some flake paint over it, which was really trippy
"OFFICER, I COULDN'T SEE THE CAR"
the officer : "FUCK ME NEITHER, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?"
is hacs discord on moderated level? can't write in there
y'all banned
ok 🤷♂️
If you just joined, you get the New User role and have to follow the process
joined more than a year ago 😄
Then you should be able to post in the HACS channel there just fine
you have no power here
What's the first thing you'd do if you moved into a new house
Established, not new
change toilet seat
I'm going to put my half rack in a closet in the middle of the house
Although I may loose the rack entirely and just use the shelves
Just have 6-8U ears for switch and patch panels
why loose the rack? did your fiance complain?
It's just a lot of space
Where if I break stuff up on different shelves it takes up less space
And it's not like I ever really look at it,
well, space is a argument. i worship my rack like a god, i maybe love it too much xD
rackmount servers is a no go here in Aus
how come?
too many kangaroos
in a closet? i thought they run wild.. Well, beats the dogs as pets i'm sure
pssh, 42U or go home
Does counting separate racks up to 42 units qualify? Suppose not..
sad 12U + 8U noises
I know next to nothing about servers and always thought those U numbers were something to do with the slot size. Finally realised it's the rack size 🤦♂️
and U is the same as H
🤏
I prefer extra wide and extra deep racks
for cabling purposes
I think I'd prefer a smaller, more manageable rack size.
Atleast it appears to be normal depth @lost yarrow
unlike those nasty bastards who use telcom racks
I've sold most of my racks (of different type) recently, here's the latest leaving the house on a buyers car...
xD
Yeah, that was a cheap rack for him until...
looks like 🇩🇪
id say sweden
I'd say northern europe
ok I didn‘t catch the blue sign
geoguessr!
Next hint... The fuck they send me this with the stove??
Never heard of that Geoguessr. Trying it out now 👌
oh, i thought it was some discord slang, i'll try it out, too 💩
I'm doing the 'guess the country' streak challenge now. Solved 2 already, that's better than I thought I'd do 😄
I keep getting world record runs of geoguessr as suggestions in youtube.
man i am so damn near 😄
People getting within a couple hundred meters anywhere in the world without moving. It's crazy!
I haven't moved yet but I'm only having to guess the country, not the exact location.
Eager to bounce straight back from what was a promising but ultimately mediocre first (good) attempt, I dived straight back in and had a few more attempts. This, after a couple of hours of trying, was the magnificent result.
Don't forget to drop a like and subscribe if you haven't already.
One was fairly simple... street name was a massive clue 😄
Next one was okay... some random river in Slovenia.
This one I'm on now is weird. There's a shop with brands in the window, gonna look those up.
At a guess, Turkey... let's see what Google says.
So i got people addicted to Geoguessr, nice xD
Uludağ Gazoz (colloquial often called uludağ for short) is a soft drink of the Turkish Manufacturer Erbak-Uludağ İçecek A. Ş. located in Bursa.
Sign in the window said Uludag.
Uludag tastes great
I've never tried it. Haven't been there.
can even buy that in switzerland, lol
Just looked Turkish 😄
Ah, this one is too easy... it's a road but there's a billboard written in some crazy Finno-Ugric language... doesn't look cold enough to be Finland, so it's Hungary 😄
This looks very Swiss:
Nooooo. It was France. It fooled me.
That jugend-looking thing on the pole should have tipped you off.
A sign in the other direction said something something de la tete ronde... La Tete Ronde is Switzerland, no? 😐
It should? Last time I went to France was nearly 25 years ago 🤷♂️
🤷 I've only been once
Now... do I pay the £1.99 to go pro or just wait until tomorrow to try again? 😄
Ah, 10 day trial. That'll do
See you in ten days!
😄
I don't think I'll get that obsessed with it. Lately all my time's been wasted on Path of Exile.
So much graffiti... must be Spain 🤣
Ah... Uruguay 🤦♂️
Some of these are tricky. This is what I thought I'd be like... failing more than I pass 😄
Like... how the hell does anyone guess these?
its a good way to learn terrains of different countries
sweden
I couldn't even tell you what kind of trees those are.
It was Latvia. You ruined my streak.
Fin or Swe
some scandinavan
right.. they are all same
xD
Some random desert road... Senegal. Thank god for mile markers on otherwise featureless roads 🤣
This is more fun than I thought it would be.
Central America?
South America... Peru 🎉
Your part of the world?
yes
it all looks like Stoke On Trent to me
New streak... 5 countries. I'll continue this later when I'm not supposed to be working 😂
Thanks for introducing me to this, FOSY
haha now automate it that every time you guess correctly your lights flick green

she fine
hy guys i made home automation system with esp8266 with blynk libaries and connected with IFTTT service for google assistant support.
now i have a problem so IFTTT only support 3 applets soo i cant ultised my all function
i need any alternative for IFTTT where i get more applets so i can use my home automation system with my google mini/google asiisatnat
anybody use vscode
🤔
yup, but no expert
No, nobody on the planet uses it
oh, its monday, no wonder i'm stuck with simple ansible.. better quit for today then
forgot, of course, also lost my LTE today for still unknown reason
oi its great tbh
what are you jamming on?
If you have to ask...
VSC is great
BRUV
I have VS2019, should probably change to Code.. And should learn to use it, too..
Lol, a IDE to change some Files is a overkill, indeed.
my point exactly, takes ages to start up and i don't need ide.. Dunno about "some files", i change hundreds but for example the ansible stuff i just do i simply do it with vim as i see no need for anything fancier right now, i write perfectly so no need for lints or such 😄
VSC or vi depending on whose machine I'm on.
I still need to learn more of those fancy secret shortcuts for vi.
About the most fancy I get is deleting multiple words/lines at once and pasting them back in somewhere else. Or using regex to find the bits I want to edit.
I should learn that replace command too.
:%s/search/replace/g
Yeah, that one
its awesome, just remeber how its "started" and rest is familiar regexp
I get what it does, I just need to train myself to use it and learn how to use the address part.
This is my favourite cheatsheet: http://www.atmos.albany.edu/daes/atmclasses/atm350/vi_cheat_sheet.pdf. I'm gradually learning the bits I think are useful.
:,$s/thing/other/2
``` to replace only the second thing on the line between here and the end of the file
It's basically got the power of sed
Yeah, I recognise the syntax... I just never sed either 😄
Never had much reason to work with Linux until the last 2 years, so a lot of this is still new to me.
It IS sed
I am sed. I just got back from my first run in 9 months. Much sed, very soar.
In the beginning, there was ed. ed begat ex, and ex begat vi, and vi begat Vim.
So that command invokes sed within vi?
sed is the brother of ed
Ed works on lines in a file, sed on streams.
But besides that it's the same thing.
I thought that you could even do ‘:ex’ to drop into ex and then ‘:vi’ to get back to the new fangled ‘visual mode’
Doesn’t seem to do anything anymore
Newfangled. All you old folk showing your age 😄
I'd guess that's an opt-in feature nowadays... If people were thinking vim itself was hard to get out of...
First time someone showed me vi, I had to Google how to get back out 😂
I'm one of the idjits.
Another interesting peice of trivia is that the tool grep is also named after ed/sed. g/re/p global, regex print.
there is a neat video about that
Commonly used grep was written overnight, but why and how did it get its name? Professor Brian Kernighan explains.

Speaking of newfangled... if you press ctrl+c in vim nowadays, it prints a message explaining how to quit.
they are taking away the initiation process?
You actually use vim over vi?
I've always used vim over vi
Bu! I thought you were dead.
I actually prefer neovim, even.
I have been playing Valheim quite a bit, lol
vi is usually aliased to vim by default anyway
alias vi='nano' 
I was planning on saying that anyway. Wasn't just twisting what you said 😄
Great. Only 3 more months until I'm allowed to see my family indoors...
'if the data allows'... so we all know that'll be May 2022.
are you in some prison camp?
Yes. You may have heard of it, it's called the United Kingdom.
I think we've seen my wife's family... three times in the last 12 months. They live 3 miles away.
lol
Lockdown here is a pisstake 😂
But it's the fault of us peasants. Nothing to do with the fact our government didn't close the borders or implement an immediate contact tracing system. Nope.
iirc there was a study done not too long ago that put lockdowns pretty far down the list of effective measures
This current lockdown started in November... they won't start relaxing it for at least another 5 weeks and even that only means 2 people can meet outdoors.
"its 1 person from china, we got it handled" yup
top ones were restricting large gatherings and school closures
The UK's plan to relax lockdown: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56158405
Schools were obvious. But our government kept saying schools were totally safe.
locking down all the small businesses is likely hurting people more than it's helping imo
i know a ton of small business owners that are really hurting rn
Yeah.. just cos the kids themselves don't get sick, doesn't stop them hanging around with their friends and bringing it home to their families 🤦♂️
hopefully UK is doing a better job than the US of aiding people in those situations
they totally bungled it over here in the states
I'm lucky enough to work for a corporation that's doing well through all this. I know a lot of other businesses aren't so lucky.
Ah... they're giving out loads of aid here. It won't be enough to save everyone, so of course there's criticism.
My parents are getting their second shot in two weeks!
I'm more worried about the decades of debt that follow 😐
I'm so damn happy to finally be able to hug them again!
A swift, harsh lockdown would've saved everything except the travel industry.
My father in-law just had his first and I think the mother in-law is due hers. Second is months away in the UK... cos they decided that they'd go against all the advice of the manufacturers and do them 12 weeks apart... 🤦♂️
BoJo keeps saying he's 'following the science', whilst doing the exact opposite of what the science says.
doesnt help when FAA says if they dont fly they lose their times
Ah, the contradictions in their own messages too... they say it's not feasible to wipe it out completely, suggesting we need to learn to live with it... then:
For this reason it says some measures could remain. These could include the mantra of “hands, face and space”, the test and trace system and controls at the borders.
Why would we need border controls in the future if we're accepting it can't be wiped out? It'll travel...
that problem isn't unique to the FAA either
Face masks become the norm for everybody 😄
theeres already groups forming that are anti-vax for this too
ive been noticing some friends talking about not wanting to take it
currency is a big deal in aviation. with good reason too, a lot of pilots are self-reporting problems as they're returning to active status
I had my reservations about it with it being so new... but all the data coming out suggests that side effects are pretty typical compared to other kinds of vaccines.
Happy to have it when the data says it's safe 🤷♂️
by the time they offer it to heatlhy people in their 30s they should have that data lol
The other thing you know they'll start to introduce everywhere, at least until it's challenged in courts... fucking vaccine passports.
oh for sure
I get where they're coming from but how the fuck is that not discriminatory?
If someone can't/won't have it, you're gonna limit their lifestyle and opportunities? Fuck that.
There are already travel companies in the UK advertising that they're safe because they don't let anyone unvaccinated travel with them...
Yes, they're a private business and they don't have to accept someone's money. No, they can't refuse based on someone's medical history or religion.
That's not gonna last long.
it will be interesting to watch it play out
you still have people lying about symptoms and shit
It'll be short-lived. Might encourage people to travel that are fortunate to have received a vaccine already... but they're basically giving everyone else a massive 'fuck you'.
You're at the bottom of the list, sorry. You have to wait until next year to travel.
I'm just traveling and not caring and quarantining after traveling, as one should.
id imagine they can only do that once its available for everyone
And the last year has basically been the under-80's giving up their livelihoods to protect the over-80's... now the over-80's get to enjoy their holidays while the under-80's are still locked in their homes.
It's happening already. If you're interested, the company is Saga. They're basically cruise ships for old farts.
I think you have to be over 60 to even book with them. Most will be much older.
oh 65+ only?
I guess... but they offer something different. I doubt many youngsters want to be on that ship with them.
honestly it will be a long time until i trust a cruise ship again lol
@deft pewter oh its that strict, sorry to hear
THere are hotels that advertise themselves as couples hotels. Technically discrimination but I don't think they'd actually refuse a booking from a solo traveller.
they dont but youll feel really awkward being alone lol
Better than the massive group that all booked rooms together at the place we honeymooned at 😠
There were probably 20 of them. They clearly all knew each other. Arrive and departed on the same days. Always got up early to get all the sunbeds at the pool. Always loud.
We booked this place because it was out of town and was supposed to be quiet 🤷♂️
thats annoying
Hah, yup
But it is what it is. We still had a good time, just stayed away from them.
the only time we did something like taht was go to an adults only hotel in the caribean which was nice since you know no kids lol
But yeah... not gonna have another holiday for at least another year, whether that's by choice or not.
That was the one thing this hotel did right. Not a kid in sight.
were considering renting a RV
seems like a good way to keep away from people and still get out of hte house lol
I booked a trip last year and they wouldn't refund... only defer. They aren't deferring anymore so it's either lose 3K or take the trip out of spite.
I'm taking the trip out of spike
spite*
You don't get protection on holidays? Firms here were basically forced to refund, even if they normally wouldn't have to.
We had a trip to London booked last March to see a couple of exhibits that were visiting. Not a package deal, so normally no protection... even got our train fare refunded when the government told the rail firms to fuck off.
I've had a couple of things like race entries deferred, which I was okay with. Except one that they gave practically no notice for, so I'm arguing with them for a refund...
Got a HM later in the year that I'll keep my place for (assuming I can get back to those distances 😂 )
My spartan race season pass got moved to this year but they aren't extending it for next year. So there's alot of goofyness like that going on.
That's basically 1K down the drain, but I did get 2 races out of it
what races are these?
Great North Run. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, so I get one of the world's biggest HM's on my doorstep.
so.. not running?
You must have a big doorstep
Yes, running. Slowly...
hm ...like H & M 🙂 🙂
Hennes & Mauritz? Nah
A couple of years back, I got to the point where I'd run 10-13 miles on a Sunday morning before breakfast. I loved it. Now, I really struggle.
I had a few good months last year, then injured my ankle. Today was my first run in 9 months.
It takes about 8 weeks to get back into that
8 weeks? Gimme 8 months 😄
IGNORE THE PAIN
Just say something obscene to a scary looking person
Lockdown has not been kind to my figure. Must've put on 14lb and I was already overweight.
unless it's constant and doesn't go away with training
You will have a good reason to run 10 to 13 miles quick
I'll ignore muscle pains... I'm not going to ignore my heart. Got over 190bpm several times today, so took that as a sign that I needed to walk a little 😂
Hah, no. I intentionally started out slow and still struggled.
Used to be able to get under 5:00/km on a good day before. Today's was about 7:30/km
also, I noticed that my 'peak heart rate' is wildly off from the charts online for my age
Yeah, the charts lie.
Someone was talking about that in here the other day. That whole 210-age crap.
I'm 35... I shouldn't be able to get anywhere near 190.
Used to average 160 on a long run and I know even that's high for most people.
im 37 and I hit 190 all the time
Granted I fucking PUSH it to the limit so I can win races but I never do
I don't even want to win, just to make it around alive 😄
You can get a moving ekg to see what your true max hr is
they basically put you on a treadmill for 15 minutes at a 9.65606 km/hr and increase the incline until you almost pass out
and monitor your HR
then they take a sonogram of your heart
That sounds like a lot of work. It'd probably kill me.
I did it peak training season and my muscles gave out before my heart did, so if you train up your HR wont be pegged
Steepest part of my usual short route is only 6% and it almost kills me.
Buy a bulldozer and make it flatter 
I avoid inclines on a normal run... hahaha
I plot my route so that I only have 1 incline thats super steep and then all the rest is downhill. Get's that crap out of the way
I'm used to the hills at this point. Hill training is wednesdays
Fortunately, it's followed by a nice steep downhill and a flat stretch leading up to the finish line... so you can always muster up the energy for a sprint finish.
Last year, I did the killington ultrabeast 33 miles 28000ft elevation
I don't have a conversion to funny units
53.1084 miles & 8534.4 meters of elevation
it took 12 hours, i cried when I finished
literally
oops, it wasn't last year. 2019. last year was canceled
I'm finding it so funny that you specified upon Tyne
I glossed over it because I have no clue what it is. Assumed it was some British thing
Usually they just say Newcastle but officially it's Newcastle upon Tyne
I mean... there are two Newcastles in the UK and others abroad...
Admittedly, no-one fucking visits Newcastle under Lyme 😂
mmm Brown Ale
IPA/APA been in great popularity for quite some time already here, mostly produced by small breweries
Yeah. I'm not at the hipster end of the spectrum and don't go out of my way to find niche breweries but I do try to pick up the ones with the pretty cans/bottles.
Beavertown are available in a lot of supermarkets here now. They have some good citrusy pale ales.
Their artwork is amazing too 😄
I love Gamma Ray
don't myself care that much of those either, however i've been into sour world a bit lately (or whenever was the last time in a pub..)
what's the blue cap on the cans btw?
I prefer sour / Weiss /dunkel but I'll do IPA or pilsner if I have it
One of the brewery in Michgian recently came out with a double ipa called healthcare heroes. Does not taste like a 9%. Also my local pub recentlly put on a Vitenmanse porter by Perrian - 2016 No Rules, the suckers 15%
worst one i can remember was McEwans ~16%, that was horrible
🤢
57.8 it seems
oh wow, thats basiclly liquor right there. i was in flordia visiting my grandmaother back in januray and we visited this tap house in naples, they had 72 taps and it was all florida made beer
50% beer sounds like whisky
I used to only drink whisky and liquor, didn't start drinking beer until I was 32
30 years ago?
With so many choices out there now, just gotta find one you like. What sucks in michigan though were still at 25% capacity for resturants and bars. and theres a 10pm curfew
@low harness yes
Yeah, only place I've seen something liquor strong was a Brewdog too.
Tried it. It was vile.
I go out on town...... Every time I travel mostly, other than that couldn't be bothered
You should go doon toon then.
Two or three beers, then hotel and work
sounds nice. when ever i travel somewhere i always want to try the local stuff.
2am office sounds like hell
I've fixed SANs in Norway from France at 2am with a wine bottle in hand, it happens 🤣
Sports-themed wall sconce?
yea and its stained glass to. Being a Michigan fan, i saw that and have to it. at first the lights didnt work but that was due to a loose wire. But i' planning adding wled to it.
I'm starting to think WLED improves everything.
It really does.
if you do exteiror lights you'll never have to hang xmas lights again
Yes!

Thanks, senpai
My latest wled project
Da ba dee da ba dai
Did you see the creepy Satanist is making a movie?
Which one?
Notice me, senpai. Notice me!
HELL YEAH, IVE GOT THE GAMMA RAY TOO xD
protonmail gang
porntomail gang?
oh, the PTM Protocol, yeah lets develop that 😄
I'm surprised atx isn't already doing that out of his server farm.
Do you think it's prudent to run 2x cat6 points to every wireless access point location nowadays
don't run cat
why 2?
the 2 ports on a AP are for continuous wiring anyways
10gb ..nice...but useless for next 10 years
why? it‘s already quite nice
10g over copper 🤢
Fiber breh
thats what cat6 is for 😅
sure..buy last smartphones because..they are better camera :))) marketing everywhere
1g enough for everything.. in 2008
I'm surprised @clear ferry isn't rolling in his lazyboy
u download whole torrent files in the world with 10 gb?
who the fuck says i need the 10gig for a phone xD
muah, gigabit, no hurry, just lost my primary wan last night which wasn't too fast either 😄
atx talks 25gbit
i was giving an example
even I do 2.5gbit over single stranded copper
and I‘m a cheap ass
i need the upload to be the same 😢
A lot of your high bandwidth WAPs come with two points
And it's not for pass through
?
a lot more on the market just have 10gbit for that reason
10g poe?
why not
hmm... does anyone have experience with unify products?
thats what i thought
my friends said they were shit
I don't think they make 10g poe
Nor should they ever. Not in rj45 formfactor anyways
why not?
why not just go with Cat. 6A? 10G in one cable?
Because standard 10g in rj45 is already flaky enough
They're hot, expensive, power hungry and fail a lot
Long distance 10g+ is really a job for fibre
ye thats true
atx might [X] doubt.
I'll probably run multimode to where I'll put computers
Atx will definitely agree with me on this one
who is atx?
I'll wager 4 weeks of mono's pay on it. Whoever wins mono has to pay for a month
atx is a spirit animal in legendary mode
oh...like a fluffy unicorn
he is a mainboard in my computer, but there is also Mini-ATX, E-ATX, Micro ATX
@clear ferry atxbae
too many atx
no go away
9 country streak on Geoguessr. My best so far 😻
geoguess?
10 😄
Gorgeous

play this if u can handle
so i got mono hardcore addicted to geoguessr, what a great day
D'oh. 11 is either way too easy or a troll. It opened with a storefront with Greek writing all over it...
12 killed me 😦
maus project
all cats are beautiful
tank is maus :))))
I see you've also played World of Tanks.
I might install that again. I'm just not very good at it.
Any of you mad dogs using aws cdk
What am I even looking at? Is that a code-based alternative to CloudFormation?
I guess if you ever want part of your infrastructure to be dynamic, that's kinda neat.
I don't get on well with the AWS Fn crap in their templates. At least CDK makes things more legible.
Pretty much
It's more about ease of use,
Like ansible, cloudformation etc
All these templating "languages" fall over under real use
Which is why you end up with giant yaml files with a bunch of weird ugly jinja templates or Fn
But in cdk everything is just class instances, so whatever's you can do with typescript you can use to make instances
I don't know about falling over but they're definitely way too verbose for my liking. Will read up more on CDK and see if I can find a use for it in the future.
Our principle dev doesn't like new stuff though 😄
i'm probably stupid but i've long lost the point of copypasting 98% same content from file to another to form stacks, real parameters are very few. Yes, there's funky stuff too and its incredibly easy to set certain things up (which you most often again copypaste from another ready file and change just about nothing but the name to match).
Most of our stacks are similar across environments. We use a base template, then keep extending that with overrides.
And since you can generate/export parameters easily enough with CF, it's trivial to customise things per stack.
But yeah... the idea of CDK is appealing.
Looks like a red rocket
Thank u thank u it’s a 50 cal. But I can show rocket too
What did I walk in on
Redneck takeover
what? is it behind the god awful ford?
that ford is greatness son....
Eh... diehard bow tie man here
to look cool in
Comes in handy for holiday trips with a young kid. Need room to throw all the presents the family throws at her
Also house projects
And off roading can be fun with the right truck
Yard work...Every year I buy 30-60 bags of mulch. I used to have a Durango but sold it last year. Not sure how I am going to get my mulch this year. Pickup trucks are something you don’t miss till you lose them.
I would love to have an old beat up pickup for a second car
rent one?
or pay a landscaping company $40 to deliver it in a dump truck?
that way you don't have to load and unload it twice
Yea, I used to get a dump truck full of mulch when I lived in Georgia. Not any more. #BagMulch4Lyfe
That’s a decent option. Never had to worry about it in the past. I think they deliver also, if you order early enough. I was just answering the pickup question. They are awesome to have around
That dump truck dumping a load on your driveway is for the birds. I used to move mulch for 6-8 hours Saturday and Sunday. Sucked balls
It can definitely come in handy. I picked up a tacoma. Not too big and still fits in the garage
Also a manual so people can't ask to borrow it
Current gen. Small compared to full size though
no way, current gen is huge
current gen is last gen Tundra sized
same with the Ranger
it's the same size as the previous gen F150
only slightly narrower than the most recent gen
all of the "small pickups" are fuckin huge now
current gen Tacoma's only slightly smaller than the current gen F150
wtf i guess what we use to call "half sized" is now known as compact and mid-sized is it's replacement which are bigger
it's pretty crazy
Yeah the maverick/Santa Fe will be smaller
i don't get how the F150 falls into mid-sized either
I think dodge might be working a smaller one too
must be in response to all the suv's
lol
Easy money for them in the states
Ford's like "hmmm, let's rip off the Ridgeline"
Unibody, just chop off the trunk and make a tiny bed
that cybertruck tho
But not the full bronco as that's on the ranger platform
so the colorado is still a a small truck (compact)
they call it a compact truck online
Nissan was smaller but it caught up now
the Colorado's still small
ok you are right, it grew up lol
well, regular cab at least
no for 2021 it's huge lol
Nissan went off the rails on their diesel
that thing's pretty huge for a half ton truck
They were going for an almost"25" class for that one
Tundra might get a plug-in hybrid soon with their redesign
I love how fast the EV/PHEV market is growing now
Toyota is playing catch-up in a market they started
and helped Tesla build
guess i should buy some tow straps to make some extra cash on the side towing people to chargers
there will always be people who leave without refilling/recharging
@dusky plank @winter wren @hushed basalt what is this 10gig you are talking about, that sounds like 2007, and what about that stupid Cisco 25gig stuff, gotta run 100 or 200gig these days, although 100gig is pretty 2017
Then you'd love the Norwegian market where 52% of new cars are EV and 69% are EV or hybrid
You would love the new Swedish tax rules where they are taxing everything that isn't pure electric, even more
Whilst simultaniously forcing people to live futher and futher away from where they work
Great way to make money
Back off topic... What are good wireless charging pads, the nillkin ones seem to have disappeared from the market here, for some reason. Are they good enough to order and wait a month for or any other brands that are any good? (talking about the recievers)
the gigs are over 9000
@last cedar if you are referring to phone wireless charging pads I found the cheapest of the cheap works just fine as long as the power rating is where it needs to be. Have a few around here and actually like the 5 buck one I got from sam's club the most lol
I kinda wanna try the cheap ones just because thry are available
A nillin needs to be sent for, with like 40 days wait
I wouldn't mind paying more for better stuff, but seems it can't be bought locally
I just have some Anker ones
Pair it with the appropriate reputable charger and they work great
Probably QC3.0 or maybe PD 18w
It'll say what it needs
Wireless charging was pretty cool in 2010
After that it's just meh
Loved wireless charging on my palm pre when I had on duty calls, no wires to disconnect running out of the bedroom in the middle of the night
You take that back
Wireless charging is the best
Better than cheese
@clear ferry what should I order from AliExpress for my new house
I can't risk actually ordering anything yet though
I don't know which house I'll be in when it arrives
@hushed basalt anker recievers? Or charging pads you put device on?
lots of cat6 if you run double cabling as you say 🤔
morning
Like pads you put your phone on
I have the upright ones
Super worth it, even for bedsides
I don't like chargers in my bedroom
Just plonk your phone down and gravity locates it for you. No precision "placing" required
Did something happen the last week to Google's assistant voice
Her voice sounds more natural than ever
it's a she? hmm..sure was google? :)))
Nice, my laptop just didn't want to display anything this morning, so I have to use my Chromebook for presentation and my phone for voice
Long live teams that I can sign in multiple places at once 🤣
🤣
where is hass bot? i am worried ....covid broke it ?
That means... Tagging like IRC is okay now 😛
Yes, it caught a virus
2bad
OMG nice!
I've considered to use bitlbee to bridge it to IRC a couple of times
@clear ferry What is that client called?
archived 😦
THEN PICK IT UP AND MAINTAIN IT
THEN PICK IT UP AND MAINTAIN ITyuou slacker

Laggy client? Great sales pitch.
love is in the air

Hi what is this server?
a cloud server
If you'd read #rules you'd have a big clue or two by now 😉
There's also links in the channel topic that will help you
what is channel topic? :)))
ok
u revealed the surprise 😦
How do you get to a server and not know what it is? People that click random links deserve to get viruses 😂
Well, they left now, so that seems to have solved itself 😂
I can has some corona virus please sir ? I click your links
They was a regenerating time lord with a discord-Tardis hurtling through time and space
quick question is it worth paying for Home Assistant cloud, I have had the month trial and the other thing I did was control Hyperbian LED on Alexa.
That's a decision only you can make 😉
IMO the main reason to use it is for the ease of setting up Google Assistant/Alexa, though it's handy for remote access if you don't want to take a few minutes to sort that out
It doesn't do anything you can't do manually at the end of the day, it just turns some of it into point-n-click
I have duckdns for remote access it would only be for Alexa
can I manually add Alexa into HA.
Yup
can you send me a link for set up of Alexa please.
No
You can however search for Alexa in #integrations-archived list of the website 😉
I accidentally ordered 30m of LED strips. Under the ceiling or on the baseboard?
Both?
are they addressable LED if so around the TV.
I like the way you think
nope, but I already got a working hyperion 🙂
When I'm rich I will switch my wallpaper with nanoleafs
have you tried https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR meant to have better HDR results but I could not get it to work with my USB grabber card.
I didn’t know that project, thanks! Beside there black detection my colors are fine, everytime I recalibrate some Color is better and some a worse afterwards 😑
@leaden adder how u built hyperion ?
Glue LEDs behind your tv and control them via a Pi
🤢
i like my new hue gradient, works really well behind the tv
holy shit that ain't cheap stuff 😮
@leaden adder is that you wall? It may be one of the coolest things I have seen for a while
holy shit second time, nano leafs aren't cheap either 😄 But that's is one cool wall indeed
yeah it's not cheap but I rather have a proper tv + this than a philips tv with ambilight
Imo they have the best tech at the moment
bingo
Picture on my e6 is still amazing
except for samsung coming with their own oled in 2021, LG is the only manufacturer for these panels
the bank always says yes :)))
Not my bank
while not the coolest latest models i am still happy with my three LGs and the last one was purchased purely based on the past user experience
They are tighter than a ducks arse
haha, need to use that next time they decline the loan 😄 😄
i see squares on plain grey picture though, so far from perfect panels
hello
peace be with you @cloud laurel
how's it going
searching for a bank with bigger arse than a duck :)))
Banks are so tight that they squeek when they walk
this makes 0 sense to me 😁
the answer is always 42
🦝
Just wait a bit, this is almost normal 🙂
I am a raccoon, doesn't make sense to me
Well, the tighter than a ducks arse thing
If a ducks arse wasn't tight thry would fill up with water
And things that a too tight usually make a squeeking noise, like hinges etc
No 😄 I 3D printed some though
Regardless, it looks fantastic
Did you have any info on them, how they are made up? Guessing an rgb emitter behind a "lens" type thing
I know its expensive only for the poor but that awesome wall costs over 11000 € 😮 I know what i am wishing for my birthday
If you think how much a "normal" wall costs its probably cheap. You can justify it. Happy birthday 🙂
there are tons of diy "nanoleaf" alikes tutorials out there to make something like that wall an affordable task
this on the other hand. https://youtu.be/yz6qqNGTDnQ
Sure, i didn't say i was poor 😄
Off to Lidl to buy some new toys. Thanks @clever mortar for the tip 🙂
keep fingers crossed. i have a final interview
Good Luck🤞
Do you need some WD40?
heh, you did get caught with that one 😄
I'm moving to a Christmas lights street
As in the whole street is one of those places people drive to
Looks like I'll have to look into rgb outdoor lighting
Those kinds of streets are great to visit. I'd hate to live on one.
My zbook g3 appears to have died after 4.2 years
Maybe I should request a zbook g7
Only $3000 starting price

And the fucker still only supports 32GB of RAM
'only'
Why not 64?
Yes why not
My g3 support 64
Even though it only has 48
I'll give away the memory to collegues before scrapping it
The memory of the g7 is even soldered down
Not replaceable or upgradable
not with that attitude
@hushed basalt please do something different than those, pardon me, stupid arches and trees that everybody does
THAT is the classic that got me interested in those shows, i have a bookmark to that video before internet was built
Yeah, if you're gonna do light shows, do them right
was for a long time planning to build something of my own but then eventually realized i cannot come up with anything nice to my taste.. good i didn't order boxes full of leds
used to work on the av industry and still doing some part-time work to get out of the office job, on the lighting side
This is from my terrace last May, two of the countrys largest MQ500's taken out for a spin
Nice terrace
oh..there you are little nasa hacker with your things disguised in innocent mixers
I think your dog needs to see a vet
What in tarnation
Wh@innation.tar
you need to get out and see the sun my boy lol
When are you not drunk?
Happy 73rd!
Hmmmmmm, might grab some Christmas cake (yep, still have some left).
happy vodka cake
Since I've been bashing my head against this for a few days; here's how to ssh straight into WSL:
- Add your public key to
<home folder>\.ssh\authorized_keysand prepend it with a command thusly:command="C:\some\path\ssh_proxy.bat" ssh-rsa AAAA53c7e7ce1.... - Put the following in that batch file:
bat @echo off wsl ~ %SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND% - Done. Even things like scp will work now
The reason you need a bat file for a single command is because Microsoft - in their infinite wisdom - made %VARIABLE% work COMPLETELY F**ING DIFFERENTLY if you run it in CMD or in a command vs in a batch file.
Cons: This only works if you are using public key authentication.
Pros: This only works if you are using public key authentication.
nice, never thought of doing something this perv but i will tomorrow try it out
wsl ~ -d debian %SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND%
``` if you haven't set your default wsl ... machine? distro? what are they even?
i call it just subsystem (the S). I need to spend now sleepless night to figure out some use for this 😄
🤢
WA has a stupid 5kw export limit too
So if I was installing it I'd have 6.6KW of panels with 5kw inverter
@hushed basalt battery bank?
store your daytime stuff for nightime if you can't export it
I actually looked into flywheel power storage a long time ago and that seems like a viable option if you have the capability of manufacturing it yourself
hardest design challenge is putting the wheel on gimbal so the earth doesn't kill your power storage by rotating
sounds dangerous
there's kits for it iirc
there's also a guy on 4chan's /diy/ board that lives in an old missile silo
and has a bunch of flywheel power storage
something like 100kwh?
prob more expensive than batteries but can provide huge amounts of power and never degrade if maintained
Nah no way definitely not worth it
lol yeah that's pretty much what I concluded but food for thought
The math just doesn't work out
for flywheels or power storage in general?
If it was my choice I'd have 3 phase and put an east/west array on the house. As big as I am allowed
So the solar stretches out longer over the day
Then insulate and seal up the house, and use as much conditioning during the solar time
Then ride out most of the night without using the aircon or very little
Use the thermal mass of your house as a battery basically
Need to solve the stale air problem
@hushed basalt native american tech 😛
in the american southwest they used the thick ass bricks to basically not require climate control at all
cool in the day, warm at night
but your walls are like 2 feet thick and few windows
adobe, that's the word
like that ^
in other news, I have a job interview tomorrow, has anyone in here ever used oracle netsuite?
Oracle 🤢
But no
Stale air is a problem, but that's a job for heat recovery ventilators
But I'd have a lot more work to get a house to a level requiring that
In the meantime it will probably just be exhaust fans
And opening windows
A house should never rely on leaks as a form of ventilation. So sealing up the leaks wouldn't increase the need for proper ventilation, since it's something you need to do anyways
I didn't think flywheel storage was meant for "long term"
as in nothing past a day

@forest edge it's really good for overnight solar storage, or so I've heard
esp if you have high power draw stuff like a big HVAC system
I don't think flywheels are appropriate for domestic
yeah for industrial tho
They're precision industrial devices
Yeah absolutely
Industrial they can be amazing if used strategically
I've seen some particularly bold home gamers use them
Also for places that have short huge bursts of demand.
like off grid people that have big power tools and stuff
I was more thinking plants and such
although I'd guess it's more out of curiosity than practicality
Say a factory has some process that uses 1000A of draw for 10 seconds every 10 minutes
they can also be really good if you need some ridiculously large short burst of power
yeah
But yeah for off-grid homeowners, off grid is not economical, it's just what you have to do
Well it's economical compared to paying for 5km of powerlines
giant spinny wheel is way more metal than batteries 😛
But if you're in a grid area, it's always cheaper to connect to the grid
Here at least
I mean off grid batteries
when I buy a house in this area I was gonna do home solar and batteries
cause the power is kinda shitty
Yeah if your power is shitty that's another thing
A lot of standard battery systems don't even work with no grid power. That's another piece of expensive equipment to handle that
I was just gonna scoop a bunch of AGM car batteries and jerry rig a BMS
I wouldn't recommend that
You'll end up with an expensive dead set of batteries in 6 months
AGMs you can drain pretty low iirc
need at least 10 in serial to get 120v (if us)
inverter
Yeah you'd always use an inverter
your voltage will be inconsistent as hell though
But I think most proper setups use 48v batteries. Series parallel setups will die fast
I have a good amount of car audio experience so I kinda sorta know what I'm doing when it comes to ridiculous battery setups
never tried applying to a house tho, i'd do more research ofc
But yeah trust me don't use 12v, don't use car batteries and don't use lead
but that's what I'd try with current knowledge
aircraft batts would get you closer at 24v
I could always use tried and true 18650
You'd need a proper house charger/inverter built for this sort of thing.
