Pssh, we have had a few outbrakes lately
but nothing too serious
oslo as usual
still only 600 dead 
installed one of my spare laptops for my office for now
beats the chromebook by far
chromebook is 2g\2c@1.1ghz + emmc storage, this one is 4g\4c@1.7ghz+ssd
still only one monitor though 
I could spin up my rpizero on one screen, chromebook on one screen and this one on one screen and do mouse and keyboard sharing though 🤔
despite its horrible marketing by our insane government that made it political it's actually a pretty good vaccine with high effectiveness according to a peer reviewed study, similar to pfizer and moderna
good article, food for thought
what a horrible key combination vscode has for pulling up the command pallette tbh
quite reminicent of anything in macos
CMD + SHIFT + DEL + 4 + LEFT MOUSEBUTTON + UNPLUG SPEAKER
lol that reminds me of the "screenshot select area to clipboard" sequence
cmd+ctrl+shift+4
wtf
leave off the shift and it saves a file to your desktop
the Ctrl + Shift + P by default is horrible tbh
I never use right ctrl or shift anyway
so then it becomes even worse
i always use win+shift+s on windows
that is almost usable
but yeah the pallet is a bit annoying
i use cmd+shift+a for pycharm
Oh, i just remembered something, not really support, but just a derp moment:
One day all of the smart speakers couldnt control home assistant, thinking it was offline, but i could still access home assistant.
Turns out that i had broken DHCP on the server that was running home assistant so it didnt have a IPv4 address to access nabucasa, but home assistant was still being served through v6, so i didnt realise that it was broken.
lol
interesting corner case
but since I don't use ipv6 internally yet and I don't use nabucasa, I will never notice it 😄
It actually made it pretty easy to debug, mainly as the device was incharge of its own address assignment, so while DCHP was refusing to give a v4, SLAAC just allowed the device to grab a address without having to communicate with annother server that might not give it to it
yup, IPv6 can be handy, I've played with it for 21 years, but it is still.. obscure and seldom I actually see it
I'm spotting it more now i have a IPv6 WAN from my ISP
Mainly as i wasnt looking before
Games need to start using it, I've seen a lot of people getting kicked out of games because someone behind the same CG-NAT has been banned from the game, kicking a bunch of peopel off
I touch.. a couple of hundred datacenters every year, and only universities even bother dabbling with ipv6
big consumer ISPs are starting to deploy it here in the UK, mainly Sky and BT, IIRC its because they are burning through their address space, or small new(ish, some are old, but grew quickly recently) ones(Hyperoptic), because they cant get any.
its weird, its like a candle being burnt from 2 ends. Big ISP's need it because they are running out, old small ISPs dont need it yet because they got addresses in the past and dont have the large customer base to need it, and new small ISP's couldnt get many v4 address spaces so are deploying it sooner
Google having it at ~35% deployed globally* isnt exactly obscure globally
*They are not in china, so its a bit lower that reality given china has internal goverment policy to have IPv6
@clear ferry 🦝 ❤️
me numpty sent empty can messages to the heating.... no wonder it didn't follow my orders
You ask for nothing it did nothing, seems like it followed exactly 🙂
exactly: expected behavior so to speak 😄
funny thing though it doesn't care about data....if you just send empty messages it won't complain but as soon as you send nothing it will throw "A8" which means: can bus error....
Nice Dashboard, lots of details, make me want to instrument mine in more detail. Seems like quite a lot of temp variation though.
Maybee I am misreading it.
yeah it bounces between min/max to achieve an average target feed temperature
otherwise it would burn the whole day trying to hold the feed temperature
Guess green is water temp then ?
exactly....
it could do DHW as well and this is why it bounces
it allows DHW to heat up if needed between the feed heatups
Right, A while since I had a wet system 🙂
but there's no DHW connected so it just does what it does ...
now the interesting part comes into play: connecting indoor and outdoor temperatures together with forecasts to steer the feed temp 🙂
Just started with a new company today. New laptop turned up by courier as expected but I just got this unexpected delivery as a welcome gift. That never happened with a new job before !!
That's more than a little awesome
That feel when you help a friend move their boot drive from SATA HDD to NVMe SSD...
Had to convert the drive from MBR to GPT, and then manually replace the original System/Boot partition with the equivalent UEFI partitions... but managed to do it all non-destructively.
"So, if that all worked, when I reboot, it should start from NVMe"
reboots, almost immediately hits the desktop
"...Good luck getting into safe mode now. Damn..."
Searched around a bit but can't find how to attach an image to a post. I took a screenshot of something and it resides on my PC can it be attached to a post?
Click the "+"
He had the best reaction, though:
"You mean it's not going to make all those whirring and clunking noises anymore?"
Brilliant
So if a channel does not offer a plus sign is there an alternate way? I am in the #zigbee-archived channel
Upload the image to imgur and post a link
Ha, never noticed some channels dont have that.
Too many idiots who'd post code as an image 😉
Thanks all, just created account and will work through that
<misses the bot>
It'll return, eventually, hopefully
I think not having it adds back a personal touch that’s been missing, but it makes replying on mobile so much easier
I concur with RobC, its been quiet while the spambot has been on vacation 🙂
alibaba fast AF, didn't even take a day at customs
what did you get?
smol box for opnsense 🙂
I'm waiting on some of mine since November 💔
Is this a stupid product?
I’m thinking of getting one because they look cool but other than that I have no idea what I would use one for lol
I can think of one person in particular
Oh sorry we are talking about things
Eh still applies
The cube is awesome! I've got one as a remote for my nanoleafs and one for my desk, controling spotify, my desk lamp etc
Lol I have a useless box too
I have one. Just because 😂 Not found a use for it yet
They look cool at least
Can they connect to HA over zigbee tho or does that make it less functional
Without a hub
That looks like something a raccon would do
dinner
In this video, we take a first look at and test out the AYA Neo and this thing is Awesome!
Powered by the Ryzen 4500U With Radeon 6 Graphics and backed by 16GB OF ram this is the Best handheld gaming PC I have tested so far!
With built-in controls and a 7 inch IPS screen, you can play all your favorite PC games on the go and the performance is r...
The Nintendo Switch she told you not to worry about ^

Problem? Lol
...this is literally designed to be a toy, so calling it a toy isn't an insult...
And it's a full 6-core Ryzen CPU + 16GB of RAM + Radeon graphics + NVMe drive in a handheld... which is one hell of a thing
how many entities do you guys have? I think I should clean up
Ha says 873
Are you counting states or is there a fancy display somewhere?
Ha says 743
I'm checking the entity registry
you can do it with a template
Just click "select all" and it gives you a number
ah.. or {{ states|count }}
know thyself, I always say

{{ states|count }} displays a lot more than "select all" on the integrations page
true
{{ states|count }}: 471- "select all" on the integrations page: 405
- Rows in the states table: 3423
But all right, if you all have twice as many I'll keep adding every unnecessary SNMP sensor I'll never need 😄
have I told you how much I hate snmp?
The only issue with having too many entities is that it can make it more difficult to find the one you care about
Why? 😦 I get pretty neat stats from my printer, never used that for anything else
haha I already feel that way 🥲
ah, you only scratch the surface of OID land, that is fine
huoh, yet another outage
Texas, or something online?
It took my hours to understand the groups and schmemes and base oids... I seem to forgot how I got "1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1" for pages lol
my shitty LTE internet shit crap, i am fed up
Hypetrain would have us believe that 5G will lead to salvation.
i'm on a cellmapper channel, those guys are crazy, the sites are like pokemons, they might drive there during the night to take download speed graphs..
Do you have a hybrid router? Or is your mobile network gone?
sorry @cedar chasm that was not for you 😅
solely on mobile network, no options (counting out all satellite stuff..)
That i got Jan 18th, this Jan 10th
so i'm trying to squeeze some 4G for the inttternets here
Would be a lot of fun to run a proper failover setup with mobile network as the backup but I can't really justify it with the lack of importance of anything happening at my place
I always thought UTMS was 3G? Like LTE and 4G
Or are you just referring to the poor reception?
Yeah, its to show how bad it is here, our phones drop to 3G at worst, especially inside
i long forgot the whole UMTS until it read on my screen..
4G/LTE is capable of much faster speeds than carriers give out, 5g is good and all but LTE is not maxed out by far. so same story happens with 5g - artificially kept bandwidth low
Where do you live, if I may ask? In Germany, the 3G networks will be switched off at the end of 2021... There is supposed to be sufficient 4G coverage everywhere
So the customer experience drops off as carriers lose interest in expanding the networks
ain't it always the way
Yeah LTE can provide somewhat excellent speeds, i have a bit of poor luck that the main operator has only one band available and its all saturated, second one has two bands and the speeds are crap also even with carrier aggregation. There is a third one with four bands and good speeds but not sure how reliable they are atmo, testing as soon as i got another device set up
It happens all around, here in Finland we're running it down as well by the end of 2023. Anyways, our village is small despite its 25km from the capital, we're not an interesting nor profitable enough to justify much improvements
and i didn't see 5G antennas on the mast last time i looked.. But i'd be good even with reliable and slower
Really? I was in Finland a few years ago, I got 4G on the middle of a frozen lake... I was amazed by the coverage
But I guess there are still some white spots left :/
Norway has 4g coverage in 96% of the country or something, including 15km out to sea
Yeah, its pretty good all around, we're nicely in that spot of poor coverage and everybody is nowadays streaming and whatnot
99% of households are covered here with 4G
I'm guessing if you count households we are probably 99. Something
i didn't find any numbers stating the covered land, i bet you're the same yeah
In Germany, we recently had a campaign by a large provider where villages with no to poor reception could register and be switched directly from 2G to 5G with a lot of media coverage... Suggest this to your provider 😄
coverage in ger is still abysmal... I am blessed by mountains and good coverage 🗻
In fact, the two largest competitors in Germany are joining forces for this action
that's really nice
on business i work on its rather common to work with competitors and it provides better end results for customers of both and neither really is losing anything, quite the opposite
Don't tell that to the Americans
You'd think so, but in Germany, the big providers are really competing for the title of who has "the best network". This cooperation with the white spots in 2020 is afaik unique and probably one of the many positive effects of Covid-19.
seeing our operators, yeah i didn't think that would be much more than a PR trick 😄 Here they are all trying to steal others customers as fast as they can but that is also benefit for us since prices are kept low and one can change operator just with a click of a button and nothing changes except who sends the bill
I laughed so hard @ people with "mobile internet boxes" while lockdowns crippled their internet because phone's still get better priority anyway... those things never leave the house in 99% so why not get a proper line 😄
its funny only as long as you find yourself having that as the only option 😄 I admit i'd probably be very much laughing as well
In Germany, it is not uncommon that the stationary line at your house is so bad that you can only get a reasonable speed with a hybrid router.
its a shame i don't have metrics from the pre-corona time to see the change
Y'all and your inferior interwebs
Here I was at the 69th parallel North, in 2004 with FTTH and 10/10 Mbit
In Lapland they have fiber like 20-40 km from the nearest city, in the middle of absolutely nowhere.. go figure..
FTTH is also available in Germany, if you build a house for just a low six-figure amount, I've been told...
Got it installed here for $170 in 2014
there's a bloody hetzner datacenter near us but all these tiny kilometers make the difference
Didn't even have to dig the trench myself
I knew it
get some shovels and some friends and let's go 😄
I have gigabit over the COAX fibre.... But that is really a rarity
Does COAX exist outside Germany at all? Since we still have copper in the ground everywhere, the telephone network is completely overloaded in most places.
they do FTTB here and use existing coax lines for the last 100m
i have ftth though, wouldn't accept coax anymore mmmhmmmmmmm
We stopped accepting orders for landlines in the late 00s
And TV has been mostly ip based for the last 10-12 years
COAX is really the only way to get anything in the direction of gigabit in private... The normal DSL providers manage, if at all, something in the direction of 400 Mbps with super vectoring and whatnot.
I haven't seen anyone with DSL in over 5 years
lol, I always get funny looks when I tell people that I don't have my TV connected to the normal terrestrial TV.
I haven't seen anyone with FTTH in my life
they are not sold here anymore but some hold on to those still as its more reliable even thought slow. i was stupid to let it go but it didn't work when i tested (could have been my device but didn't really care and it costs money still)
It's right here, come visit Tirol
Well, let's just say I haven't been to anyone who has.
We cancelled our TV subscription last year, didn't really use it much, just use an apple TV and three apps
are you near nurenberg or falkenstein?
Nope, above Cologne 🙂
wife likes to watch news from the terrestrial and some random stuff that happens to air, mostly over ip (when the fucker works, its very nice to get that spinning ring or hourglass in the middle of the movie...)
How about Starlink? 😛
https://nomadnotmad.com/here-are-the-countries-with-the-fastest-internet-speed-in-europe-and-slowest-internet-too/ 11 for norway..bad bad bad @clear ferry
wish i lived in turkey, they've got 22 megs!!
yeah we also put billions into infra for fiber but the money just vanishes into manager pockets and mexican cartels, so we land on 20th place 😄 I still have delicious 500/50 fiber for 40€/month
romania is first but nobody can afford it in first place 😄
Average internet speed in Norway was 87mbit in 2019 atleast
afford what?
I highly doubt "15. Germany: 100.11 Mbps"... most of my friends are at half of that speed
Switzerland 😄
This was a joke about Starlink btw. They are starting in Germany this year and I know already one person that ordered
not sure about Finland though
atx...seems you get revenged in mobile area
i have reached peak laziness, i took a nodemcu with ESPHome and conected that to my PC, and now my pc is starting as soon as i walk into the door. xD
I'm not sure I want my PC to stare at me when I walk by
oops xD starting*
@lost yarrow how u achieved turning on/off?
WOL to wake and ssh to hibernate
that would work too.
i have wol for wired pc...but want to wakeup another wifi laptop
it is possible, highly dependant on wifi nic integration though
heh, got it, no worries 😄 Its an interesting one thought, discussed it elsewhere, should work nicely on the snow, too, as it gets rather hot
good idea btw
probably even more efficient
need to find out what can do my network card
it's only possible in standby / S3 or whatever of course, else the nic has no power
haha yeah if there's one thing you don't have to worry about in Finland it's cooling 😄
@dusky plank sleep always...my wife doesn't close windows, only lid
hmm been a while but wol and pxe is/was a nice combo for various things, diskless "servers" (or nodes maybe more appropriate term) and what not
Clusters!
lol, package went from china to cologne, then to vienna, clears austrian customs, goes back to nuremberg and then back to austria
"Emission Controll"
I love the fact that you can do everything with home assistant. Even build a self destruct for your home.
C4 NOT INCLUDED
One company just advertised they are starting to build fiber to our municipal, 60 months, 27 eur/month + isp for example 100M 38 eur/month.. plus 490 eur installation fee. At least its under 50000+ eur but not available to our area anyways
Have been watching that Only Human show about hoarding on YouTube
Jeez it's frustrating
30 year old piece of moldy rotten plywood
No can't throw that away, that's perfectly good for making shelves
It's because my house is too small, that's why my collection of 40000 doll heads is filling up 6 cubic rooms.

atx's points just took a major step up with the above link 🤘
Oh my, noticed i got support responding me with an information i didn't request. Reading and understanding are separate skills it seems, however i'm mildly pleased they are seeing the effort of providing me rather detailed and to the command instructions and actually trying to understand an issue that might arise (not the one i reported, almost dead device).
Nice sunny day calls for some roof activity, better get that thing down for easier debugging and take another up
Bob Venero, CEO of Holbrook, N.Y.-based solution provider Future Tech Enterprise, No. 96 on the 2020 CRN Solution Provider 500, called AWS’ refusal to directly address how its infrastructure was used in the SolarWinds attack a “slap in the face” to the company’s partners and customers.
“With all of the security challenges we face as an industry now is the time -more than ever - for AWS to show up and speak about how they can prevent this from ever happening again on their watch,” said Venero.
It's like saying Ford should have to answer to police when someone uses their car in a bank robbery
Next year, i'm actually on the queue but need to wait for them to fire up some more birds to the space to get coverage.
Sorry for bringing this back up, its annoying me in the back of my head, this statement just seems different to the reality measurements are seeing. Within your area maybe. A lot of countries(US, India, Belgium, Ect) have close to 50% deployment, the UK floats arround 36%. Scandinavian has some of the lowest deployment in Europe(apart from the icemans home Finland) according to APNIC and Google.
Having a Global average of ~32% deployment doesnt exactly feel obscure to me
I can only speak for the countries I work in, which would be Norway, Sweden and Denmark mostly, but I work with us customers and EU customers, and I can count on a single hand the customers who use IPv6 the last 15 years
That home users have it available, and that isps offer it is something else
And that web exposed sites offer it is also outside of my day to day area
I technically have IPv6, though it stopped working a few months back and I haven't chased it up since everything works still
Deployment != Actual use
I'm running IPv6 here, as well. Comcast currently assigns me a /60, which I have split out into a few /64's
Guest wifi has its own /64. lol
googles numbers are based on site visits, that is pretty much active use from consumers
As it should be the users shouldnt be aware that anything has changed, however consumers having it(whether they know it or not), gives reasons for content producers to deploy it, especilly in some cases where IPv4 has a latency hit for many reasons.
most of my browsing is over IPv6 now, mainly because of CDN's
Zen still?
I wish they would just have it on by default, BT and Sky have had it done for ages now
Honestly, the biggest issue I've had with IPv6 is the fact that Comcast doesn't issue static addresses
So I had to deploy IPv6 with mulitple scopes
It supposedly is, but .... I'm guessing there's a glitch in the matrix
I'm getting annother Zen connection to annother site, so i'll test it there. I had to email them, although that may have just given me a static assignment
All devices get an IPv6 address assigned by Comcast, AND an IPv6 address assigned by my pfSense firewall/router. Problem solved, basically
Now Comcast can change my IPv6 prefix all they like, but Active Directory keeps on trucking because it's using the IPv6 prefix assigned by my router, which will never change
Yeah, thats what ive done, although my prefix is static anyway, i had setup a ULA to test before getting a IPv6 connection, its useful for connecting to other devices when everything falls over
The one "gotcha" is setting up IPv6 port forwarding. If you forward to a Comcast assigned address, it works until the prefix changes. You also can't forward directly to one of the internal-only addresses, because it's not a routable prefix.
The solution there is, unfortunately, IPv6 NAT
NAT the private address to a routable address so your firewall rules don't need to be updated every time Comcast changes the prefix
Now, on the up side, that means you're only NATing a few individual IP addresses, rather than an entire subnet
Does pfsense has something like iptables suffix based rules?
Not directly, no. There's no alias for "current WAN prefix" that you can use in rules
They did add a Python scripting interface that you can use to automatically update an alias based on your current WAN prefix, which can then be used in firewall rules... so there is a solution if you don't want to use IPv6 NAT
I might switch to that myself, since it would simplify things
This setting also seems to help a ton:
Prevents your IPv6 lease from being released, which tends to make it significantly more static
I haven't had my prefix change since enabling the above, but it still could due to an extended outage or some such
Oh hey, this is finally getting some traction. There was a merge request for dynamic prefixes in firewall rules 17 days ago
Only took 4 years...
on openwrt they have dynamic prefix forwarding https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/firewall/fw3_configurations/fw3_ipv6_examples#dynamic_prefix_forwarding so iptables only looks at the end
Edit: Ah, it seems like its the same thing as what PF sense has implemented
fw3 IPv6 configuration examples These examples refer to IPv6 topologies and were pasted from the old wiki. I have not tested or verified correctness. Port accept for IPv6 To open port 80 so that a local webserver at 2001:db8:42::1337 can be reached from the Internet:
Yeah, looks like that's about to get fixed in pfSense as well (without needing to script it)
PR has been merged. Thanks!
Aight, so it's already in CE-Next
3D printing. Good stuff.
wouldn't know wtf to do if our plugs were that big lol
At first I was like... Why does he have speakon cables going into the wall
Then I went like... DEFA
i went first for xlr but i'm blind, still resulted the same wtf
nice idea, i hate those cables laying around and even more if they don't have cover on
i hate skim milk
its like its trying to lie to you about being actual milk.
it should be relabled "water with white food coloring"
I miss my Webasto, but I park in the garage now since the wife has an eberspächer
One Defa and one Calix.
Speakon would be so expensive when you forget it in as you back out.
heh, yeah i'm sure the bumper and car-side cables will get lose before speakon gives up 😄
I have a friend that'd be perfect for...

I think I might redo HA from scratch in the new house
if you have to start over from scratch you did something horribly wrong
Eh it's a good refresher
Half my automations would be invalid in the new house
Plus there's like 40 versions of upgraded state spewed in there
Just the other day I found my old Blue Box from the 90s together with some other old stuff (Zyxel modem, ...).
Worked like a charm with the Amiga and helped a lot to cut down the bill.

Yeah, that's how I feel now... 😁
I just mentioned in another discord
You know you are old when you think I've been online since 1993
Kids today 
You are mummy dust
🙇

That said, I've only been online since about '88
Probably the same time for me...
I started with a 1200 Baud modem, but a friend had a 300 Baud "Dataphon", the thing where you plug the receiver of the phone after manually dialing.
And all that stuff was illegal in Germany. You were only allowed to connect officially certified hardware for a lot of 💵
UK suffered from that too
But, given how many other less than legal things folks did, what's one more...
The high-end stuff. Couldn't afford that at the time.
Think we upgraded to 14400 same year come think of it
And 28800 shortly followed
We barely had 56700 before we got ISDN
And ISDN lasted two years or so before we got cable
What peering mailbox network was used at your place before internet?
For us, I remember Z-Netz (rather German thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Netz) and Fido.
doing what? there wasn't much of an "online" around that time lol
uh huh, those old forum boards or whatever you call it were a complete mess
Lots of chat, games (yes, multi-user games), file sharing, and more
BBS bitches
Don't forget NNTP either
The good stuff
wait, maybe I am thinking of pre late 80's
Loads of stuff, just not so much prety graphics.
cause there was no opnline multi user games in the period i got on the brain
Multi-user dungeons existed for sure, I played a few
unless you were refering to telling someone where to move a chess piece lmao
Lotrd

wasn't mud like a chat thing? not a game program?
yea that was a chat thing lol

I remember play testing one, and discovering that the HP-UX port ran a lot faster than the mainframe version. It was possible for L1 character on HP-UX to slaughter a L99 character on mainframe because the devs didn't account for clock rates...
Give the dev their due, it was fixed that day 😄

your shit was probably whack like that
You mean the greatest computers to come from the US?
i'm talking graphics
noone cares about architecture aside from graphics when gaming

my aunt always had the latest greatest shit to play games on
probably the same shit you are just getting in stores now atx
pony express i think it was called
er maybe not cause google isn't turning shit up for that name lol
pony something

back when the message boards were a nightmare cause it was a single thing that contained everything. no catagories or anything lol
no email, no private messaging
Anyone currently here know a lot about 3D printers?
atxbyea funny you mentioned lotrd, i threw my 3.5 floppies out about 12 months ago for that. I bought that game and hosted it on my WWIV BBS I ran for many years

Does anyone know what is the name of the blue plastic adaptor used in this picture to screw cables into the Pin Screw Terminal Block Connector?

will there be a release party on youtube today? if so, when?
There was one of those preview thumbnail thingies on youtube yesterday, but I can't find it now.

Talking about PAE mode?
Yaaaaaaas Queen
Usually gets used for extended memory addressing by 32bit operating systems
Increases the maximum addressable RAM from 4GB ot 64GB
Yup, I don't think it is used for anything much still, but lives in the architecture still
I just wanted to yank Mr Sonoma who only belives in x² architectures
Fun fact: Microsoft supported PAE mode very briefly on Windows XP, prior to SP1. It was discovered that a large number of 32bit drivers would crash with a 36bit address space, so SP1 disabled PAE mode, re-instating the 4GB limit.
PAE mode was never re-enabled for desktop SKUs. Even Windows 10 32bit won't let you enable it.
But that pae mode was heavily used on 2003
Shame, I need another way to BSOD my Windows boxes
Yup, though 2003 had its own separate drivers (and was an entirely different build/branch of Windows from XP 32bit)
So Microsoft could require Server 2003 drivers support PAE mode
I ran 2003 as my desktop os for years, it was ridiculously stable
And I got 5-10 FPS more than on xp
e'yup... and modern Windows is still based on 2003
2003's branch was used to build Vista
XP's branch was abandoned
Most Longhorn builds were based on XP's branch. They reset development somewhere around build 4093 and re-based on Server 2003's branch.
I remember running Windows 98 RC, that was probably the most unstable shit I ever ran
Except for millennium with all patches, that is even worse
I keep a Longhorn 4074 VM around for shits and giggles
It's unstable as hell, but has the most pre-reset features still in it
Hey guys I have a question about hardwiring a usb camera. Is this the right place?
"hard wiring" a USB camera?

I mean, last I checked, USB devices kinda require a wire 😛
Of course, if you don't ask the question, we'll not know if you need to go elsewhere

I am trying to install a front porch camera and unfortunately I have no power in the area that I am able to place the camera. I would like to be able to adapt a usb to cable to a AC outlet that is 20 ft from the door. It has to be hard wired otherwise anyone would be able to just unplug the camera at will. I would then hide the cable in metal raceways.
I'm very happy with my £50 Hik
But even POE needs power which is the issue I am trying to solve.
I can not just run the cat6 cable to the outlet, can I?
Well, if you drop a PoE injector there, sure
The point of PoE is that it's power and data
Or any switch, with a Poe injectior
You don't want to run cameras over WiFi if you can run them over cable instead
WiFi cams 🤢
How are you planning on getting data through the electrical outlet? Powerline adapter?
@clever mortar Not really, powerline ethernet adapters are a thing, they're just crappy
Oh, I know, I've used them
Wireless USB is also a thing, and also crappy...
carrier pigeon
More a reference to some people's expectations of how things "work" 😉
RFC 1492?
Ok agree with the reasoning here, but the challenge still remains. If the POE injector is mounted next to the outlet, well what was the point for the camera. To place the POE inject in a spot where it can not be tampered with I need to get power there.
Honestly, if you have a 120v outlet, and no data... a wifi camera is probably your best bet
So let me change my question
You don't put it next to the camera
You can run a network cable for 100 meters... there's no problem there

I mean, there is the problem of running ethernet outdoors... need to beware of lightning strikes
How to I get power to an outdoor camera were the outlet is 30 feet away?
Seen that happen before. Lightning hit a PoE camera and killed tens of thousands of dollars of network equipment
@silent canyon A 30ft extension cord?
My PoE powered camera is about 50 feet from my PoE switch. No problem there
Yeah, but it sounds like they don't have ethernet run?
Neither did I until I ran it
Mine must be 25-30 meters atleast
I mean, if you can run a USB cable, you can run a network cable
It sounds like they literally just have an electrical outlet, and no way of getting data to the camera aside from wifi. lol
Well, it sounds like USB was the chosen solution 😉
Yeah, still not clear on how THAT would work in this instance. lol
no visible cables inside the house/ not able to open up walls. Network switch is in the center of the house. Extension cord outdoors is not a great idea because anyone could just unplug them.
Battery-backed camera, then?
There are plenty of cameras that will continue recording while unplugged for an hour or two
Yes Tinkerer you are right, but I was trying to hard wire the USB cable
Typical knobheads, going around unplugging people's cameras
I can not do that with the POE injector
...what, exactly, does hard-wiring a USB cable resolve here?
You can "hard wire" any cable
Just add epoxy
I guarantee you can can yank on a USB cable hard enough to rip the solder pads clean off
Or just, you know, use the knife I keep in my purse to slice the cable
Also, many PoE cameras are designed to be installed in "high risk" environments and have fittings to make them hard to steal
Or just tear the wire
If you're worried, the only real solution is to run the cable inside the wall so that that camera has to be physically removed from the building to access the wiring
Okay some additional information is needed to understand the restrictions. House is 2 stories, exterior wall is cinder block.
just pulled the homeassistant source on my faster connection and my gooness is it nice for it to take 10 seconds rather than 30-60
VDSL SUUUCKED
Yes
I remember the "joy" when I moved from Cable to DSL, and got 4 Mb/s download if I was lucky, and usually closer to 2 Mb/s
cries over vdsl modem 🥲
VDSL? What is this? 2012?
I've luckily always managed to move to higher speed. can't/won't go back!
server has a page full of mods, who dares to tag?

2021 and counting
Yay for the Australien Government

hey atx do you visualize opnsense metrics? in case, what do you use?
https://github.com/atxbyea/HA-Config/blob/34ac8042d501ada666a1bfccd8db296f3dcf0a24/sensors.yaml#L192
Sent that to influx

How do you have time to do home stuff
I haven't touched HA or opnsense in like 4 months
I do double nat 🤮 already have up/down in ha (and thus in influx)
Easy, I work from home
So do I
You work shitty
But I'm obviously more honest than you norwatians
I am efficient
I can do stuff in ha while waiting for 350 servers to boot
what is this? servers booting on raspberry pi 1?


norway is not a member of the EU, nice try though
maybe next year, I will call you back
Maybe try aws
Doesn't mean I can't get paid Norway money while working in shitty EU 
I hear they have a healthy work environment
lays back
Will you work on those secure multithreaded hybrid clouds
Yes
My life right now is dealing with a shitty aws managed product
We really should abandon it I've already spent like 100 hours on it
Everything else is fine
It's just this one shitty product which is just some scripts with a wonky gui
Hot garbage that's what it is
Aws sucks at containers overall though
it's hot garbage and industry standard :^)
They're king for serverless though
i still can't get employed so I have no pro experience
but my gut tells me that tying your services to a 3rd party that's difficult to swap out is not a great idea
I mean I just use my own tooling that'll run on any service that sells VMs or containers
It's easy to move from cloud to cloud, and from on premise to off premise at will
If you know what you are doing
it allows you to use multiple providers at once too though
so I can run instances on AWS, Gcloud, Azure at the same time and have em play nice
a free account with 8593457 cpu cycles each ofc
🤷 I've only done it for educational purposes
and I wanted to reap the free tiers of each provider at the same time for running compute stuff
nothing like building a computer cluster for $0
Cluster.... Cross vendor....
Or so cheap it doesn't matter
depends on workload but it works for what I need
If you're a big company that does or will Aquire other companies
our newsmedia reports on amazon changing some app icon instead of our corrupt politicians,
maybe they change their icons fewer times than our politicians do corrupt things
Then you can have benefit from being multicloud ready
if only I could get someone to hire me so I can get """professional experience"""
What role do you want
computers
jk I'm casting a wide net, looking into robotics, healthcare and finance mostly
developer jobs at least to start off
working at a national lab would be pretty ballin
What sort of developer
What do job postings for junior developers in your area ask for
Do you go to meetups
Have you reached out to any companies who don't post jobs
I'd focus everything on those .net skills
economy is in the shitter in my city
Don't touch anything to do with ops,
Like vms, it's just a distraction for you right now
we have a lot of healthcare research around here but they don't have entry level positions often
Don't touch anything that isn't requested in those entry level roles
And contribute meaningfully to an open source project if you can.
I do
Ignore fun. Do what they want from you
main problem isn't that I don't know the skills
a couple
good idea
I didn't get my job from a job posting
the companies that I've interviewed for were mostly concerned that I "wasn't going to like the job"
or something along those lines
technical stuff is ezpz
people stuff is beyond me
being isolated for a whole year definitely doesn't help either
I got hired more for people skills than my technical skills
I'm good with people, bad at interviews
SN10 in 2 mins..
probably need to just suck it up and figure out how to ham my way through interviews
like in the workplace I'm fine and well liked by my coworkers but in interviews I can't fake enthusiasm and optimism
SN10?
yes
what's that?
SpaceX latest starship prototype
oh cool
np
Watch the last 7 minutes
Holy crap! They actually did it this time!
This is Science Fiction stuff!
It's a huge rocket that they send to 10 km height. And then land back down standing upright.
It's worth the watch
SN9 blew up in the landing
didn't they land some on barges?
This is much larger than those. More Apollo size. I heard it's a Mars rocket prototype.
yeah it looks t h i c c
looks like a scaled up version of something you'd buy at a sex shop lol
- fins ofc
Unless that's your thing.
true, there's some wild people out there
Yeah, pity. But perhaps easier to clean up
instant demolition
and 3 engines toast 😉
So probably not intentional 😉
F
a replay would be nice
Fibre Broadband deployment has been like IPv6 deployment with how long its taking 😛
Government said spending 60 billion and 8 years laying fibre was a waste of money
are you referring to the handouts to ISPs?
So they spent 70 billion and 100 billion in infrastructure rental to install VDSL and hybrid coaxial
Their initial plan looked quite good
The hybrid stuff they introduced kind of gave a copout I feel
offtopic grafana question
I have a sensor that updates every 10 seconds with the current power consumption in watts
how do I get grafana to display a daily kwh consumption?
grafana is just display, use other systems to calculate stuff
doesnt grafana have a math function?
I have the data
what I have is
InfuxDB and the entity gets updated every 10 seconds
with the current power consumption in watts
looks like this
right now
but I want it to display kwh
per day
I know that I would need to configure a time interval and then do some calculating
but I do not know how
you would want the integral of the graph
so just for reference - I installed grafana 20mins ago
I have no idea what I am doing xD
Learn influxql
^
The grafana gui is more trouble than it's worth for making queries
Just go to manual mode early and it'll pay off quickly
This sort of thing is exactly what query languages are for and is why they've held strong for decades
maybe but I have time constraints right now so I do not have a lot of time to fiddle with stuff
grafana and influx are very fiddly by nature
Then just copy paste those queries from the link and tweak them
I know I am a bit of a pain in the ass here but where do I put those?
You change the grafana query to manual
go to #add-ons-archived I'd suggest. many people use grafana there
@hushed basalt ahhh there it is - thanks
One of those isn't even Linux...
@hushed basalt ok I took the time and I think I got it now
SELECT integral("value",1h) / 1000 FROM "W" WHERE ("entity_id" = 'sonoff_powr2_energy_power') GROUP BY time(24h)
and I did it by myself - I now know what you mean by learn influxql
Lol so many stupid QLs these days
JPQL FTW
This was fun...
it's fine
Totally fine
Hard to say... I just got it used. Sure looks like it
oh, yes lol. Clearly they're skimping, didn't fill up the die 😉
looks like it got dropped
could be. though the pad closest the damage is partly lifted, and there's a slight bulge on the reverse along the edge that looks like a trace got hot...
maybe got dropped and then powered on
either way, glad it came with a 6 month guarantee 😄
wow, guy already refunded me. that was easy.
That just looks like someone dropped it
what does norwegian hybrid vehicles run off of? whale urine?

taco...nonono
Taco is always yes yes
cord less...uh..how u did it ?
and u run ?
that runs on my debian jumpstation
oh...ok...linux...
currently accessing it via ssh from my ubuntu desktop
u locked too ?
had a conference...france, spain, portugal...locked
here we are free :))
we are not in lockdown, but I work a lot from home
i am home...not working :))))
I should setup internal PKI stuff today...
pki..some sort of pokemon?
I used to have PKI internally on everything, but I've been lazy in later yestar
Here , try this:
http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=pki
It helps to refresh on the procedures these days
a lot of stuff will be tightened in the next few years
and all enterprise stuff comes with self signed certificates by default
After yet another round of breaches you mean
interesting that you spell "yupeeee" the same way my daughter yells "jippiiiiii" 🤣
Hey guys where should i ask mqtt related questions?
thanks
I should buy a second symfonisk for stereo
the audio quality is quite good
but I miss directional audio
you're not afraid to be banned? 😮
not yet 🤣
I've seen people mention it
but I use the client so seldom still
I just wish discord would make their own CLI client
Agree, things should be moving towards open instead of closed.. Publish API's, let people get fancy and productive, its not away from in this case Discord
Same as with this off-topic related vendors doing closed cloud shit mostly and then those few brilliant vendors offering well-polished apis
(or is it on-topic.. anways)
Totally legitimate question for a robot.
Hmm i wonder if i should see into changing that console controller icon of mine.. Besides it looks more of a xbox than playstation controller and i'm on the latter..
off to finally replace my old friend apache with swag 🎉
DOIT
I missed apache for a few weeks
but then I realized I was better off
I just deployed zwavetomqttjs
because I have the stick and some plugs 🤷
have to use lxc though
That's a nice catchy name
you need to go to a doctor with all this puking atx
hydration is important, it's serious
oh well maybe its appropriate in this case
lxc is really... lagging a bit
maybe i do debian lxc and docker on that
docker docker docker
while at the doctor, do talk about that stick and plugs addiction
I taught my son to hack his e-learning HTML page.
heck, snow storm, i was just digging shorts out of the closet, we're all gonna die now!
Hello, I am building a wall mounted monitor + rpi to display homeassistant. Does anyone have any recommendations for what OS to install on the pi? I need it to bootup and open home assistant in a browser.
take a look at #diy-archived you should find some people which can help you more then here
alright thanks
it's finished! I 👏 AM 👏 SWAG
That's me back in -04 or so. Installing topologi-linux on my familys only computer. Rebooting to XP every 15 minutes to look up the next step of getting PPP dialup modem to work. Things sped up significantly after that.
a question to the python GUI devs 🙂
did you ever checked out dearpygui ? 🙂
So umm, since so many are going crazy on SWAG, can somebody summarize what's the beef of it or the fancy part? Yes, i am reading the website but i just see its LAMP made differently into docker and i'm like a famous giphy..?
I suppose its the easiness of enabling things by just uncommenting lines or sections?
and not guessing how to configure say HTTPS, its not necessarily straight-forward for everybody
fail2ban is a big + compared to other Lamp stacks,
also it's nginx (used apache up until now)
Yeah but both are like one command away to install to any linux and IMO its good to understand a bit about the applications one installs to any system to learn how to configure those? Or is this supposed to be more of a wizard-driven easy fire and forget? And what's the PHP for?
That IS a nice thing indeed yes
it's all 👏 in 👏 one 👏 container
not a "install linux" thing
Containers 
opinions about EU going strong?
i guess its like integrations and add-ons, you click and you get something just about ready to rock
kind of, you can even deploy this in a swarm fashion
sslh and stunnel consumed the biggest part of this transition though 😄
cool, thanks, might consider if one day need arises, i was even getting paid at one point writing code in php (with the missing M of course, too)
(only reason i found so far for that PHP part still 😄 )
yeah in 1999... when it was full of exploits
early 2000 with that shit. Then i wrote some java for mobile phones (they were shit too back then)
And wasn't fat
up until 2013, when stefan esser stopped reporting vulnerabilities
now it's just undisclosed exploits
java is still shit
and yet its the heart of many entttterprise shit still today.. Been forced to look into few cases lately..
btw @clear ferry if you one day feel like discussing about the greenhouse stuff i'd be interested in your findings. I am thinking of revamping my setup.. I've got few ebb&flood hydroponics and few others aside the regular peat boxes. Need to investigate if i could make nutrient mixes automated somehow (more of a problem of "how to measure" i suppose), mix changes over the season, needs to be pumped around and what not
No hydroponics here, I've wanted to try some
