It's a weird situation. If you have to be given a car for your job because you're a field agent, you can't exactly say no... but it still affects your income.
On the other hand, if you start giving expensive cars to upper management just because you can, of course it should affect their income.

it'll be even better once we got uber drivers recognized as employees
deft pewter
Not sure it'll change the BIK stuff here. They're already driving their own cars.
It's a step in the right direction for their rights though, that's for sure.
Even with that, you gotta try to see both sides... are Uber going to let drivers keep signing up when there's not enough work to keep them all busy and they gotta pay them for a full shift of sitting around waiting for fares?

This is actually really similar to what Microsoft intended to do with the Microsoft Band. Originally, the wearable was going to be a launch-day XBOX One accessory designed for motion control, rather than a fitness band.
The final band actually retains many of the sensors from the XBOX prototypes, including multiple gyroscopes, and can be used as a motion controller in some limited scenarios.
deft pewter
I guess it wasn't refined enough. Motion control is finnicky. Nerve sensors... that's neat.
The progress made with 'mind reading' is pretty cool too. I'm just not sure I'd want to wear a skull cap all day ๐

uncountable number of small files

it was literally already way too slow to count the amount of files when we tried, even on a single bricks, i can't remember details of the setup but it was imho quite large, considering it really wasn't about large files and such

glusterfs is really easy, 2 commands to have a volume already running, it can be also used nicely to move things around online, like move storage from local to remote location and so forth
haven't touched it for many years. Also tried it with openstack and while it worked there, too, it had its issues, just maybe ceph would have worked better on that case, dunno, its dead cloud already
ups, feels a bit sluggish
hearty depot
lapis cipher
One of the nice things of glusterfs is also the fact it does not mangle with the files any extra, it doesn't split them into cryptic pieces with parities and such but they are as is on the disk so that "YourDatagone" is kinda bullshit compared to just about any other clustered fs stuff, it merely creates metafiles around

Apparently vimtutor is bundled on any machine that has vim. It's actually a nice little tutorial.

I never realised you can use ^ and $ to move to the start and end of lines. I'm a massive dumb dumb.
static schooner
same as regex
deft pewter
Yeah, makes sense why, I just never knew ๐
Using them as motions in commands is amazing.
glacial knot
You can also use 0 for actual start of line. ^ is first non-space/tab character

Previously, my knowledge of vi commands was pretty much limited to dd and dw (with numbers for motions), p and u.
Oh, and searching by regex... but as Tinkerer keeps pointing out, there's sed style replacements for me to learn too.

I'm mostly happy with the knowledge my degree gave me and the mindset it taught. But stuff like editors and version control should just come 'baked in' to the other modules rather than be completely ignored. By the end of a 3 year course, stuff like that should be second nature.
glacial knot
ehh. I agree with git, if only to prevent SVN
But editors? that's very scattered either way.
So what would you teach? Eclipse, VS, VS-Code, CBlocks, Qt-Creator, vim, Xcode, or god forbid, emacs
deft pewter
I don't mean fully-fledged IDE's, since that's often either a personal preference or something prescribed by your team. I mean they should at least introduce you to vi and nano, since they exist on all good servers.

Don't forget to alias nano to vi

my analogy for vi(m) is simple, it is the most widely available (default) editor on any system and they might NOT have nanos or such around, maybe ed in some rare cases. So, for survival skills its essential to know that

Yeah, sanding PLA is terrible. I heard you can blast it with a hot air gun to get some color and shine back, though.

PLA is the simple one, low thermal expansion and theoretically bio-degradable and food safe (don't), but difficult to post process
ABS is the one with poisonous fumes, harder to print but smoothable, stronger and waterproof.

@tidal bronze i setup the api portion for frigate. it's funny, with mqtt you have to jump through the hoop of using the camera snapsot service to save the file in order to push it to a notification. using the api you have to jump through the hoop of using the downloader service to save the image to push it to a notification.. like wtf, hoops everywhere! mqtt snapshot is kind of nicer than what the api spits out imo

The built-in snapshot feature is rather good for backup/restore, and the backups are usually less than 300mb each
molten osprey
Yeah, I know. I even used it once to move to a new host.
It should have been on ๐
But it wasn't!

So, you have a complete filesystem backup... that like a dd of the entire disk, or..?

you only need to dump the config folder onto a new install not the whole thing.

I just had to google mdns ubiqiti, the first hit on google really shows me why ubiqiti users shouldn't do anything related to networking, that thread was a shitshow
mDNS is use for streaming music and that sort of stuff across VLANs. mDNS is kinda similar to uPNP (in simple terms).
Example: I have my Chromecasts on a different subnet/VLAN. Without mDNS my devices on the corporate network would not be able to detect them.
what in tarnation
Register a free domain at freenom.com and put in your servers hostname and their local ip-address. Work from both sites because the dns information are out in the internet.
so instead of NAT reflection, lets make our internal network lookup external hostname.domain.tld as internal addresses, wow

Looks like I have a few months to learn how to create HA integrations https://ww...
I should build one of these, I have a few thousand ws2812 laying around
ember grail
Is anyone using HA/integration as a datastore/web-based reader for ebooks as a replacement for the kindle app?
amber shard
yeah that was kind of my reaction too, but I didn't say anything in case it was me who was sounding insane
amber shard
"maybe this is what normal people use HA for, and I'm the weird girl who just uses it for controlling lights and sensors and shit"
yep it's sneaky like that

ember grail
well, I know like grocy does erp stuff, and I've seen plex integration for media
amber shard
a calibre server would probably be easy since that has a web view, I believe, but also: why
ember grail
oh, and bitwarden is another example
ember grail
sorry, on a conf call for work, so I can't respond as quickly

i ended up dropping bitwarden because it kept dumping and re-creating its database every time the container was re-created
clear ferry
Had no issues here
With bitwardenrs
In a regular docker environment
Been running for.... 4 months now
Or more maybe

"maybe this is what normal people use HA for, and I'm the weird girl who just us...
Iโm considering using it as log server for some of the weirder stuff I have
wet pilot
that's what i was trying to use. dunno what i screwed up but it was too disruptive at the time to deal with
ember grail
and yes, addons was what I meant, not integrations.

Just bought a new house so working on a clean slate. What do people think the best option is for smart lighting? Do I go for bulbs (hella expensive) or make the switches smart? Do I use zigbee or wifi?
noble pivot
Switches!
sage timber
And not go down the bulb route?
noble pivot
"Smart bulbs" have to be on (powered) to be smart
sage timber
Yeah so I guess I would replace the switches with battery switches (or at least cover them)
but the thougth of buyign all those bulbs is no fun
noble pivot
IWhich makes the physical switch a bit redundant
sage timber
Yup
I mean you lose colour but... ive lived my life so far without disco lights in every room ๐
So for the smart switches - do I go zigbee or wifi ?
dusky plank
circadian lighting tho ๐ฅบ
noble pivot
You can have both but I would say deff do the switch and where you want/need colour do the bulb as well.
I went wifi for switches, power is no issue.
sage timber
Phillips has an in wall box that would be neat, converts your switch to a smart switch while still powering bulbs 24/7
dusky plank
you can do that practically with every in wall switch?
sage timber
yeah was just an example
Im thinking of going Phillips Hue in the living room (for that TV ambilight) then just doign the swithces elsewhere
Theres a ton of these types of box things: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samotech-Zigbee-Switches-Dimmers-1-Pack/dp/B0893JN4KR/ref=asc_df_B0893JN4KR/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=430802235498&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2137682687957704899&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006567&hvtargid=pla-931471507916&ref=&adgrpid=103132776954&th=1
but I have no idea if they are any good
Also whether to go zigbee or wifi
dusky plank
you can ask about those in #zigbee-archived

ask in #general-archived if you don't know where else to go
sage timber
There isnt a #home channel though

#general-archived is for stuff not covered in the rest
sage timber
So questions about home automations and general planning should go in other?
