not in the sense you are trying to make it out but that isn't the part I didn't understand. don't work for HP, no clue you all labeled each other by color

Hi guys, just bought a small fabless industrial Pc based on i5-9500TE (6 cores, 35watts), 32gb Ram and 1TB nvme ssd: price was ridicously low so I bought it to replace my current celeron N4100 mini Pc.
Other HW I have is a coral USB stick: planning to run frigate on it.
For the rest I have a lot of cpu power but not sure what to do with it: any suggestion?

BTW I am going to run proxmox on it and, together with HA and other stuff, I would like to install a lightweight Linux distribution for random stuff: do you have any suggestion? I was thinking about SparkyLinux

That is so personal preference, go with anything you feel good with

clear ferry
#

I would say, run debian as the baseos, then do kvm and docker as you see fit

lapis cipher
#

Never even heard of that flavor but staying out of the mainstream makes you have to do lots of stuff probably manually since nobody is providing you with the packages.. I'd go with Debian as i've been in that world for so long

ah, sparky is based on debian, try it out, experiment and change if needed

I remember windows doing that. Haven't seen that on linux with the delayed shutdown

it's good if you don't mind being stuck on an old kernel (the one that Pine developed patches for)

i wonder if they ever came out with a rpi compute module router board

@dusky plank Nope, 4.4 if you want all board features to work

#

5.10 you'll get no hardware acceleration from the GPU whatsoever. No 3D, no video decoding, no nothing.

So yeah, been years, and that's STILL a problem

That's why they still provide a legacy image running on the 4.4 kernel for the Rock64...

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

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

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

yeah brought them up just for the sake of "i'd like to use those somewhere".. bunch of option, also need to decide if i want/need it to open/close or just open.. closing would require some more sensors to ensure nobody is in between but would be useful for many situations.

I apologize ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

you need to build up some confidence, don't go apologing from strangers, stay strong!

There's pros with the tv movies, limits the options.. spending half of the movie time already trying to pick what to watch.. Action or scifi, comedy or drama,.. I even have Borat on the line of last resort, it might be just bad?

I was going to watch the new Falcon & Winter Soldier episode but got stuck adding a shelf to my rack and adding media player pausing automations for when someone has the gall to ring my mobile phone

Same, got stuck adding new smoke detectors to ha and stuff. Need to run some real smoke tests tomorrow as rest of the family are sleeping already. Got stuck also googling why everything is Tuya and turns out that's how just is

Could requiring knowledgeย of particular CS data structures and algorithms that arenโ€™t often used in application-level code for an app-level position be a way for interviewers who already spent time and money on this to feel better about their choices? ๐Ÿค” No, that canโ€™t be it...

If you feel like doing it now, you could always make the excuse that you thought it was important to test the family preparedness for an actual crisis

haha, good idea, timing the exit and then debriefing ๐Ÿ˜„

cedar chasm

debriefing outside in the cold, obviously

deft pewter
#

Is it even a fire drill if it's not cold and wet out?

cedar chasm

no going back inside before everyone has shared 500 words on how they felt it went

fair weather drills do not count

I try not to be too pretentious when I'm interviewing a candidate. But our interviews are more just talking about a bunch of topics, not trying to catch people out.

lapis cipher
#

people skills are so important on a team just a chat gives good indications whether somebody is fit or not

deft pewter
#

Oh, I let the managers figure out their people skills ๐Ÿ˜‚

static schooner
#

"I'm a people person!"

deft pewter
#

But for the tech part of the interview, we just have a bunch of stuff like 'tell me what you know about databases', and we just see where the conversation goes. If they're really technical, they'll start talking about the technical stuff... don't need a whiteboard exam to find that out.

lapis cipher
#

we do team interviews quite a bit ie current team members join the chat with the applicant, some to the point, some just random chatting to get the feel if we can stand that person in our team room or not ๐Ÿ™‚

Well I spend 90%+ of my day not talking to people, so that doesn't matter ๐Ÿ˜„

Hmph, i need to figure out what the heck is Matt Daemon doing on Elysium as he just barely got out from Mars... Next he's probably flying with Apollo...

I enjoyed the Mars movie

"Hjelp, jeg er pรฅ Mars"

That was a really clever joke, btw

In the eighties a lot of movie titles were translated to roughly "Help, we're [something]"

Airplane! became "Help, we're flying"

hjaelp is always funny

Airplane movie is translated to "Hey we're flying" and sequel of course "Hey we're flying again"

and some similars

exactly like that

You could probably gather some blooper footage from all the users on this discord and come up with a fairly slapstick flick about home automation

#

or script something in the vein of the Home Alone movies

Or a proper horrible Toy Story clone with lots of smart home appliances

Yeah, probably best not to look for any follow-up gifs of that situation

#

I ordered lots of monitor arms, so one day I'll be just as cool as @clear ferry

lapis cipher
#

i would need to build another round on top of these two since i don't like swapping windows

#

not sure if arms would work, a bit tight space, just a shelf would be sufficient

hushed basalt
#

Wall mount arms

lapis cipher
#

kinda a bit crowded as work has taken over lots of space here

#

i have window behind monitors ๐Ÿ™‚

hushed basalt
#

Or desk mount with tall poles and 2 arms on each

cedar chasm
#

From what I could gather they seemed to save a lot of space as opposed to using the stock stands that monitors come with

hushed basalt
#

Yeah they save heaps

cedar chasm
#

The one I got were desk mount

hushed basalt
#

They're better if you drill them into the desk too

cedar chasm
#

Not at a level where bringing em down from the roof makes sense

hushed basalt
#

You want them mounted a bit away from the edge of the desk

cedar chasm
#

mmm, mayhaps

#

Will probably be a couple of weeks before I get them

hushed basalt
#

This is how a tall pole works

lapis cipher
#

looks like that can be adjusted to very slim, could work here

cedar chasm
#

That's how you build mission control

lapis cipher
#

heh, most screen space has taken those spacex launches from multiple angles/streams ๐Ÿ˜„

cedar chasm
#

how many angles?

#

that's how many monitors we need

#
  • 1 monitor for weather reports
#
  • 1 monitor for the twitter hashtag of the launch
lapis cipher
#

+1 discord

cedar chasm
#

public perception must be monitored and reacted to at all times

deft pewter
#

+1 for telemetry?

cedar chasm
#

#

all that sciencey stuff

#

wish i lived in us to see that stuff live

cedar chasm
#

Would be fun to see a space launch at some point, yes

hushed basalt
#

I'm moving to just one big monitor plus laptop

deft pewter
#

Ultrawides are big enough for most things.

hushed basalt
#

As soon as I decide on an ultrawide that's high dpi and not $2500

#

Dell has a new one but it's so expensive

#

I want something with the physical height and dpi of a 4k 27" 16x9, but wider

#

A lot of ultrawides are very short, crappy dpi etc

lapis cipher
#

haven't checked them out but colleagues have got some of those dells and i should be eligible for one as well, been recycling displays from others mostly, swapping to new when someone happens to leave ๐Ÿ˜„

#

i mean, leave for real, not just home ๐Ÿ˜„

lapis cipher
#

i feel i've earned them as often they left all sorts of crap behind i need to take care for the rest of my career..

Rest of your time at that company role*

Being a consultant is the best you just walk away

deft pewter
#

Yeah, one day you'll move and inherit new shit ๐Ÿ˜„

hushed basalt
#

Just take all the monitors

#

Want ultrawide, but also like the productivity afforded by multiple 16:10 monitors...

#

Still considering Lenovo's 32:10 beast of a monitor...

#

I'd really love to see a 48:9 or 48:10 monitor that can be addressed as either one large screen, or three individual 16:9 or 16:10 screens

hushed basalt
#

I want a single monitor in the middle

#

Whether thats a big monitor or an ulttawide

#

Definitely hate having two monitors side by side

thorny heron
#

Go with 6 cheap 16:9 screens, I did that and productivity is really nice with the possible compartmentalization

Cheaper than a superwide screen.

subtle pasture
#

Not a huge fan of 16:9, tbh

#

16:10 was super nice back when it was popular. You got both the width of 16:9 resolutions, and the height of 4:3 resolutions

#

1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080.
2560x1600 instead of 2560x1440.

#

And you could always run those 16:9 resolutions if you wanted, 1:1

thorny heron
hushed basalt
#

My screens are 24"16:10 1200 at the moment bu

#

But they're way too small

#

Vscode feels way too compact

4k monitors for text

hushed basalt
#

Resolution isn't the key it's the PPI

1080 on a viewfinder is shitloads

5K2K on a 43 inch monitor may not be enough

I don't really know much about the bsd kernel, but like, why not ask the person who made wireguard, instead of someone who was quoted as saying they did a half assed job

I feel like you and me could have done a better job

and then "forcing" the change in the next release without checking is just crazy

Who needs code review, just merge fuckers

last cedar

Aparently netgate ๐Ÿคฃ

#

I feel a bit sad that I got my colleage to put pfsense on his router

#

I have always tried to not be an opn fangirl, and said like "pf or opnsense" when people ask

#

but screw netgate, bunch of arseholes

#

He likes pfsense, so that is the main thing, I guess, I just feel like I gave him bad advice
