if u want transcode :))) then...power hungry
especially compared to a nuc 😛
well im not sure how heavy ill use the plex server
might just be a home assistant server
as my pi 4 becomes too slow/small to handle the whole
so looking to upgrade and nuc would be my goto solution for now
low power machine can handle most things...i still never tried a camera feed to see load cpu on HA environment
would be interested in that too as i might hang some cameras round soon
will they consume that much power?
i heard yes, but there are spying guys that can help answer
wdym lol
If you want to know the specifics of using camera streams with HA, #cameras-archived will have better answers.
in the netherlands there is a law where we cannot aim our cameras on the road in the netherlands
that's pretty bad
but in the neighbourhood not that many people actually listen to that
so ill just yeet some cameras to the road myself
if something happens on the road....right in front of your house
road isnt yours so you shouldnt care ~government
or two cars stop on the road in front of your house and 10 guys rush for your tail....maybe a 20 seconds early start running should be nice
idk what youve done when 10 guys are coming after you LOL
🙂
almost nothing
some wives could't find a place to stay overnight and i helped them with my big soul
so..is not bad
How much memory should use HA supervised? Somewhere about...
As it says in the channel topic, no support here
Yeah, yeah. I'm just curious
It will, unsuprisingly, depend on many many things
🤔 I just realized that my pi3 could be not enough for HA, it has only few addons and integrations but running at almost 90% mem usage
I'm long enough here, to know that sometimes we do 😉 . But ok, I won't anymore.
'HA is cool' or 'look, HA is in the news' is fine.
Asking about what resources you need to run it... that's a support question.
Then you know that 90% RAM use means little 😉
You want to be using all the RAM - and I ran HA on a Pi3 for years without issue - still do
<cue holder for atx's puke>
now i got actually curious where mono's clip originates from.. looks like worth watching.. 😄
Team America
Ah, heard but i think i've missed it pretty much completely
Team Aameeriicaa
In Finnish I guess
All I know are swear words and bad pick-up lines
Your instance with 1.9k entities is on a raspi3?
Not any more - when it left that Pi it had a bit over 1K
ahh. My laptop already has issues starting up with 150 😄
Even with all that, and a "few" integrations, restart is still about 60 seconds. It'd be faster if I had an SSD or less crap 😄
it's less the time it takes. And more that I get a spam of everything taking longer than 10s to set up
It's pretty magical
I'm sorry. I'm working on getting rich
give it a couple years
me neither and it shows... 😄
just got a tip for some cool hardware being available, Dell PE2950 !!1! 😄 😄
🤢
If you can afford a Pi4, you should spend a little more and get an NUC
i'm just waiting to get pi4's for free as i did for the 3's
I can afford it, because it's broken , and costs about 2 € with delivery
repair costs: 64€
but yeah, good enough nucs start at double that i think
My Rpi3 was half price too
Snowden coming from the tv, never seen still, its 2016, kinda almost forgot the whole story. Yes, i know nobody watches tv, no need to fill the screen with pukes, i am not watching it either, just happened to notice from the epg
I used pi for Retropie, but now I've Got clever plan, automate my summer hut,
And -what is more important- garden too
we start to gather good amount of gardeners here then
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
few more evenings filled with peat and gravel talk and we'll get a channel of our own \o/ 😄
Ok, let's start: I have tomatoes , grapes, some grass, flowers, cherry trees, gooseberry, and raspberries too
How does the grass taste?
Ask my lawn mower 😆
I thought you were listing all the edible things, sorry 😄
I think it is edible. For Sheeps and rabbits
And vegans
and so happens there's a section on fresh community highlights on hydroponics
Did you know that names iOS and iPhone wasn't invented by Apple?
Name iOS is still licensed from Cisco
can't say i did
I'm procrastinating with setting up a VM for home assistant
VM 
I have not-exactly-a-lot of space left on my server and I'm realizing I set up things kinda derp originally
having issues downsizing some other VMs
the effort involved is causing me to lose interest and consider napping instead
Docker...
never messed with docker
You should
I could look into it though. It's just not a familiar technology to me.
VMs were cool a few years ago
They are mostly just overhead and old practice these days
my world is basically VMs with what I do for work
Docker is a game changer
VMs are great when you positively need to run another OS for some odd reason.
Each VM has all the overhead of the OS. Docker has none of that overhead
that's sort of the gig with my day to day though
VMs will die slowly the next five to ten years
how's docker on windows?

Horrible
lot of my day to day is windows, so... 😛
Time to lead your day to day job into the 21st century with containers 😄
Like me, with needing an instance of Ubuntu running on top of my FreeBSD box...
I have less pull with that though. Like I just set up a VM for an HVAC server and the only way they support it is bare metal or VM.
Don't run Ubuntu on FreeBSD, use jails
I set up some of my home VMs kind of silly though. Like dynamically expanding disks that can max at 100 GB, yet I only have a 250GB pool for the lot of them
didn't realize that as I ported them from a server that had 14TB of space, lol?
250GB pool? What is this? 2005?
Just what I had available
had a pair of 250GB SSDs and just put them in a storage space mirror
began dropping the VMs there

not stupid if it works 😛
It apparently doesn't 🤣
I'm mostly using jails for things. I'm just pretty darned new to HA, so I really wanted at least a Supervised install of it, so that meant running it on a platform that it was setup for.
It... does though.
@mint flame so the worst possible install method of HA on a non supported base OS running on a horrible hypervisor? Got it
@mint flame yeah I haven't done anything with HA outside of watching some youtube videos so far.
going to kick the tires here at some point soon though
#330944238910963714 is what you get when people want to suffer
@clear ferry It works, though
o.O
If I was going to do it over, I'd absolutely just extract the base image from one of the VM files and do the OS install.
You know it's bad when none of the core devs, even the one responsible for it, recommend Supervised and warn people not to use it
So, the part that I don't get with the ravenous hate on the Supervised method is... there's not really anything said about why it's so bad. As someone new to the platform, I don't get specifically why it's so off. If I got the risk factors, I'd have tried harder up-front to avoid it.
They're detailed in the ADR you didn't read 😉
(which is in the topic and pinned messages of #330944238910963714)
If you run it as documented then you've got HAOS but with Debian
Pretty much nobody does that, so shit breaks, and people get pissed off
There's more forum threads and posts on that subject than I care to count
And deploying home assistant in a jail is easy peasy
Or a VM if you really want it
Did overlook the ADR, but have since read it. I gather that there's nothing truly wrong with it except that it's remarkably difficult to maintain thanks to being absurdly easy to mess up dependencies and being nearly impossible to get community support thanks to how many possible variations there could be. That is a real issue. While the installation page did warn of this, it wasn't quite as clear as the ADR was on the subject.
gibe me that 4€ nuc, senpai
If it's not already linked to, you're welcome to add a link to the ADR from the docs.
Agreed, it's easy to setup the core in a jail and did it briefly when first setting it up. I just thought that I was going to really need the add-on store, but I'm really finding fast that I don't need it. Either I'll switch to that in the near future, or will go the OS route. When I really sit down to plan out the integrations, I'll make that decision . Right now, I'm just really poking at it to see exactly what it can do and that I can get all my devices to be recognized and controlled by it. I've got no sort of actual automations setup get.
It's there, on second look.
"1. First make sure you understand the requirements." (Link to ADR)
Add-ons 🤢
you will change away from supervised when you see the amount of dns requests originating from your machine
your host audio will also be messed with
Is there a typical expectation of disk usage that HA would need?
figure that can vary if you go to town with sensors and devices of course, but not sure of a typical starting point
there is generally no support for HA in this channel
32 GB is the baseline though
An AMD duron would still be hot after that
And P4 prescott
I believe that the meltdown at Chernobyl was actually a coverup for a failed overclock attempt of a P4 prescott
They just pretended it was a nuclear reactor
Pfff, my P3 coppermine ran Quake3 for 45 minutes before shutting down
The duron cracked in half after 10 seconds
I removed the heatsink at the same time on both
🤣
Intel had it since.... 486 I think
Pffffff
AMD thought you would know better 🤣
Guess who didn't remove plastic protector on bottom of the HSF on their AMD chip?
2700 thoroughbred
not a barton
the 256k cache one
YUP
was me
I soon learned though
I was born before 386!
@dusky plank Sounds like I have a litany of reasons to switch. Haven't yet dug into that part of it.
Kids...
Also
when I sorted the plastic out
guess who ran their ram at 200Mhz, and FSB was only 166Mhz
causing it to be unstable?
YUP
me
That was before the time of dividers
anyone in here good with samba and plex? i have a server running at my house with proxmox hypervisor and i have Samba setup with webmin in a VM and plex set of up a LXC container on the same Node. the samba drive works fine and the plex media server works fine. however i want to mount a Samba drive as a public drive essentially into plex. i found a really good tutorial the other day on editing the fstab and what not and it worked then all the sudden quit. no matter what i did i couldn't get it to work again and when trying to mount different locations and stuff i kept getting a lot of errors about mount locations not existing although they very much do exist.
im wondering should i maybe try and mount the Samba drive in proxmox and then some how share it to the LXC that has plex? seems weird to mount a drive in the same proxmox server thats its hosted on.
im not home to be able to work on it but am looking for some insight and would greatly appreciate it.
All of that sounds horrible
so far it has been honestly. it doesnt seem as if it should be that hard but im definitely open to ideas lol
I've run freenas for years, first with jails, now with docker, I just mount my media folders directly into Plex

plex is nice...but ...why? :)) tried couple of years ago but not finding helpful
What?

im looking into freenas as we speak. i think its way more user friendly and can run plex irght in it. would make life easier if its how i think it is
for pirated movies lol
Truenas scale is looking good
i need to see if my server can handle it though
I've run it for three months already
freenas is truenas now right? its all one
Yes they merged the code base
atx is beta tester
oof it requires 8gb fo ram min. i only have 8gb lol. might need to upgrade lol
im not going to be doing anything crazy though
atx can borrow 64 gb for every inhabitant of norway
I would not run zfs on 8gb
why not? i had samba on 4 and it seemed fine lol
yeah but i would assume they only thrive for memory when being access by users. this is only going to have 2 users
I know this isnt technically a FreeNAS Qeustion, but it relates to zfs.
Im currently running Linux Mint tara 19.1, but i packed a custom ubuntu kernel with 5.1.9 kernel and zfs 0.8.1, which i install it.
Thus i have the latest zfs under the latest linux kernel.
System consists of 32core epyc cpu...
ill check it out
i mean i can upgrade ram just wasnt looking to spend the money as im looking to add another 1tb or 2tb drive as well for nas storage
If you have 2TB of RAM and a filled 2TB HDD, and you read all that 2TB in, ZFS will happily consume your entire 2TB of RAM with cache data and never need to perform a read from your HDD.
nice nice nice
atx...u have 2tb of ram ? :))))
😮
That already had 3TB each
ram
Yes
so this happened today in tyrol
holy...
Damned tremors made it to Austria?
You're gonna have assblasters soon if you don't sort it quickly.
Could have been worse, you could have gotten a rapid mudslide that buried and killed 10 people almost instantaneously
That happened 30 km from here just before new year's eve
As terrible as that was, there are worse ways to go.
Well, depends on how long they lived
They weren't found before a few days
Hopefully it wasn't long
They likely suffocated, which tends to be quick.
Quite a few were found at the surface I believe, so rather hypothermia
There should be a full report at some point
Hopefully
Take a look at greyhole. It's a storage pooling system that does redundancy at the share level. Each disk is it's own file system with no dependency on the pool to survive. You can have 1 - n copies of your data depending on the number of disks. Disks can be different sizes and the system can burn down free space disk space evenly across all disks. https://www.greyhole.net/
I've been using it about 8 years.
Sounds interesting.
I think I might mess around with freenas next to see how I like it. Only downfall is I’m gonna have to upgrade RAM
Didn’t know NAS drives ate up so much ram lol
awww yiss, already got a job offer
Professional atx troll
I have a 9600bps serial connection to a Pi up and running and I'm just so excited about the slowness with which the screen builds
What happened there??
Looks like a gian stone slid down the bank
Good that it was brick and concrete house, typical for that part of Europe.
I wonder why in countries like the USA, where hurricanes and earthquake are on the agenda, ppl made their houses of wooden sticks and plasterboard
modren techniques hold up alot better than most think. most the images you see online of hurricane damage etc are of older homes or homes that are not within the traditional tornado area
not to mention alot of the damage you see is more surface damage than anything
Maybe, you're right. But here , in central Europe, where's no active seismic area, and the wind is too weak to dry the laundry, people still build concrete and brick houses. With 1m wall thikness
both materials come with pros and cons. here stone usually almost always used as an outer layer more for appearance than functionality because wood benefits outweigh it here
Here outer layer is styrofoam and some plaster (roughcast) for decoration. In the case of whirlwind or so , mostly the roof is damaged or missing, but the rest of house is more or less in place
more of a because, than an although
We had a mini-tornado in the area couple years ago (southern Germany)
The cost of reapairing the damage done to the brick&mortar houses is about as much as building a new one over in the US
Yeah, but are in southern Germany still more new houses build of bricks than of plywood?
Brick houses are exotic in Norway
atx is erotic in Norway.
we have houses built of just about any material you can think of
including norwegian hide
I suppose , noticed that when was in Sweden also. Here, in Poland where we were building porch of plywood , wood, styrofoam and so, our neighbour said that it not gonna work. Will fall down in couple years
Older Poles think that wood can only be used to build a tool shed or a chicken coop
Building a porch from wood is fine. I wouldn't want a multi-storey building built of wood.
How rest of Europe imagine Scandinavian houses
That's a shed
I wouldn't either by someone who doesn't know what they are doing building it lol
I don't know if porch actually is right word, my English isn't good
without having any stats to back it up
There's slightly more alternative concepts these days, but the vast majority is still bricks, yea
That is actually most Swedish houses up to 1970 @deft pewter @forest edge @fallow karma
🤣
They lived in sheds? 🤔
Yeah, in fact, there were american-style bungalows in Sweden, when I was there years ago.
But you know , in those days I was kid from communist country, and everything was exotic for me.
Communist? How long ago? 😮
In 1986 as I remember
Wow. I knew it was well after WWII but I didn't know it was the late eighties.
I remember seeing the German-Russian border when I was there. It's nuts to think that Poland didn't exist for so long.
Till '89 Poland was communist
But was separate country
However no really independent
Apart from the lack of citizen's rights, we couldn't even start production our own car projects, or buy a licenses from West countries
@clear ferry that's because they spend most their time outside regardless of the temperature. they even swim casually in freezing water.. weirdos
Yeah, Poland's history is crazy. I'm glad things are improving now.
Are they? 👀
Was
Poland is geographically in an awkward place between the "east" and the "west". It hasn't always been easy
Things seemed way more positive when I was there. You can still see the Communist influence (big grey apartment blocks everywhere, for example) but the main streets in the cities are developing well.
I know their culture is a mix of European and Russian... but if you see some of the high streets, you'd think it's a Western city.
Yeah,But our last government....
We all have bad governments from time to time... but we're not going to talk about politics here 😄
I remember being impressed by Ulica Piotrkowska in Lodz. Really modernised now, with lots of awesome little restaurants too.
Agree
I'm looking at maps trying to see where my favourite pizza place in Lodz was. Can't find it... but I realised that I didn't even walk the full length of Ul Piotrkowska. It's massive.
Measuring just under five kilometres, it ranks as Europe’s longest pedestrian street and is lined with restaurants, beer gardens, hot-dog stands, and a mix of neo-renaissance and art nouveau buildings; some in chronic disrepair, others restored to their former glory.
Amazing place.
Everything right. But our geographic situation makes that now we've got west prices and east becomes 😆
Yeah, it's weird
Joining the EU was unusual... I heard prices increased quickly after that.
Yeah. I didn't knew that Greece is as low
Greece's economy is fucked 😂
If you remember, the EU had to give them billions to stop it completely crashing.
Yeah. And now their tourism business is stopped
Was at Rhodos last year. Almost empty , compared to years before pandemic
It's probably going to be like that for another year. I don't want to travel yet, even when I get my vaccine. Other countries still have issues, so tourism isn't going to be 'fun'.
So many closed businesses/attractions.
I'm not fussy, hot water on the pool, and little umbrella in my drink are anough for one week holiday as for me
I prefer city holidays. I don't like to sit by the pool/beach. If everywhere is closed, I might as well stay at home.
No sheds, only bins
Not raccoons... Swedes.
oh
stone fell from mountain, stone landed in house - nobody got hurt thankfully
Just a stone. No big deal.
That's remind me of:
Stop sign didn't apply to him, he was coming from the other side 😄
He was actually trying to avoid a frontal crash with some car drives wrong side of a road
But yes, he correctly stopped before stop sign 😄
Meh. I think turning into a building which could've collapsed on people is still a bad decision.
Swerving to avoid something is dangerous. You're likely to lose control of your own vehicle just to avoid some other idiot.
I don't think you have the time to make that calculation though
If someone was coming at me, in my lorry, them on the wrong side of the road, I wouldn't be swerving. I would absolutely close my eyes though
I very much doubt that tbh, but I've never driven a lorry
You won't have the time for a cost-benefit-analysis. The first impulse is to avoid the accident and once that hits in, I think it'll be too late to change that
If it was a choice of demolish buildings or hit a car, I would probably hit the car. I haven't had too many situations like that apart from people doing crazy overtakes on blind corners, etc, being both oncoming and being overtaken
People are absolute morons tbh
Oh, there is a 1 second gap, I should make that overtake
Especially when you're in Poland and riding twice too fast over a limit
obviously it would be brake, hold wheel straight and close eyes and hope for the best
I just hate the way that people think that sitting in a little box makes them immune to all damage
🦝 😍 🦝
How are raccoons so cute
The problem is exactly that. Impulsive reactions. Sure, you don't have long to think... but you should still do it.
I've had some near misses before. I didn't overreact and jerk the steering wheel.
#diy-archived would be your best bet.
At the very least, the braking should be the first thing in most cases. Sure, you might need to still move out of the way but at least reduce speed first. High speed manoeuvres are how you lose control.
Totally realistic physics engine 😂
I love how it seems to accelerate once it leaves the ground

Would those make The Starving Games any better?
I hate most people but I think scalpers are pretty high up my list.
I know the chip shortage hasn't helped but it's crazy to think that a few greedy c***s have made it almost impossible to buy GPU's at consumer prices.
I'm just happy I don't care about consumer bullshit anymore 🤣
You just get it all "second" hand from your employer 😛
Good for you. There are still plenty of us consumers that care
I'll probably end up waiting for the next generation, since they aren't making enough of this gen. I want something that can better handle all the extra pixels of my ultrawide. 2060 gets hot 😄
Consumers 🤢
ok, that was a bad movie.. what next, Ted? Followed by Ted 2?
You just watched The Hunger Games?
Indeed i did
All of them?
Oh, no, The Starving Games 😄
Oh, the parody one?
that
I haven't seen it. I've gone off parody movies. Scary Movie was brilliant back in the day but that genre is just boring now.
If you want a serious movie, we watched Chaos Walking last night and enjoyed it. Tom Holland is good as... well, Tom Holland.
I don't think he can act. He's just permanently confused.
right now i'm into some stupid comedy and humor, i don't have that mentioned movie available right now but making a note of it
Hmm, comedy... try Tag
Got Ted running already, i already remember this sucks 😄

Has there been released a zb3 aqara door sensor yet
Or is it just the motion sensors
Yes, if you're in China and can visit the shops
Get me a set of 5 as well 🙂
Use recessed magnets. Cables are vastky superior to wireless things!
BRB, off to explain to the wife why I'm tearing up all the walls
Hmmmm......got any ideas on how to move forward with that
I plan to put 16mm flex conduit in everywhere as I renovate
Can do whatever you want later then
If "wife" doesn't like it she can move out
Yeah, if I was renovating I'd run conduit
I feel like no matter where you run it.....you can’t guess the future though
Well, run it to every socket, to the opening side of every window and door, and the hinge side of every external door
Nioce.... can I borrow it, maybe on Tuesday, before wed lottery
I also have a house that is like 4 years old so 🤷🏼♂️. Not in my cards either. The lottery on the other hand 🤣
🤪
Before I bit it
Gonna run network, alarm and smoke sensors, conduit for water sensors, some misc home automation stuff, full network including to washer, dryer, cooker etc (cable can be used for other stuff anyway) and electric
Magnet contacts on all doors, even internal for automation, external doors for electric locks
Oh yeah, that won't happen
also, you think way too small
if you are running a wire already
put a poti into the hinge. So you can measure the angle
A poti?
Potentiometer
potentionmeter. Not 100% sure if that even translates 1 to 1
resistor that changes value based on rotation angle
How about good ole fashion drywall repair. Nothing like a hammer to install stuff
you could also get rotational encoders I guess. Not even sure what would be more efficient
Alarm prio 3 for smoke, 4 for alarm 5 for door entry
That would require drywall
I have lots of trash
But trashcans only have one entry either way
makes all of this easier

Autofill... 1916 sites 😮
Not OnlyFans?
Liar. It's because they cull the lowest 10% each month.
I thought I was done researching keyboards once I chose one and placed the order. Now that I'm looking at the firmware for it, there's a ton more I need to know 🤦♂️
QMK has so much scope for customisation.
Also, I'm gonna have to learn some C. fml.
Firmware for a keyboard, how strange.
...
Oh, that kind of keyboard
Suppose it could be useful if I ever want to program any smarthome devices from scratch.
What kind did you think I meant?
Well.... I've seen computer keyboards with firmware updates before
They're a bit less mainstream though
That's the kind I'm talking about 😄
Got one of these on the way as I wanted to save some desk space: https://drop.com/buy/drop-alt-mechanical-keyboard
And there was me assuming it was musical keyboards
Eh, I like my bendy keyboards
Or, should I say, my wrists do
Can use a web-based configurator to do some basic keymapping but it looks like the real power is in learning how to write custom QMK firmware.
I've seen some good ergo keyboards too but they don't interest me as much. A ton of those actually run on QMK too.
Like those Ergodex ones
Haha. The idea is sound though... you get to keep your arms shoulder-width apart.
Yeah, blank keycaps... guarantee that no-one in your office can use your shit 😄
Nobody can anyway - it's locked in a cabinet 😄
I'm just going to use the stock keycaps that come with mine to begin with. If I switch, I'd be really tempted to use blank caps. If only so I don't press the wrong things when I switch between Windows and Mac.
D'oh. Of course... you're Mr Security 😄
If you really don't want anyone using your keyboard: https://www.gboards.ca/product/georgi
Made for stenography, so you're typing full words by pressing chords of keys.
Eh, the only time that's handy is for passwords. The rest of the time folks can just look at the screen anyway 😄
Can't see it being useful for day-to-day stuff or programming but it's the kind of tool court scribes use.
I have one of those split keyboards at work (Irisv4). I quite like it. But I'd like to have the bendy fature as well. So I'll do a bit more testing on these things
I hd a colleague who’d push me away and start typing for me. That keyboard would probably help.
But as it turned out, switching to dvorak was enough.
I was about to say that...
Leave the keys labelled as QWERTY but change your system prefs to Dvorak 😄
Now I just need to find a way to get the 82 year old man to stop touching my screen with his pencil...
Has anyone discussed retirement with him?
I’m so damn glad he doesn’t write in ink. I do all ink, but I keep a rubber around for when he’s visited.
He’s too valuable to the organization, because he’s respected enough to just ignore all routines and stuff and Get Things Done instead.
And he's still productive at 82? I can feel myself slowing down already at 35 🤣
We've got a couple of guys in their 50's who are still pretty damned sharp... but I imagine by 80, there's gotta be some decline.
Experience counts for a lot... assuming you're not an idiot anyway
He’s sharp as a nail. But he told me last week he stopped playing badminton weekly.
I hope I can have half his energy by 70, really. Or even 60.
In the early days of my career I had the pleasure of dealing with an "old codger" who was past retirement, but was on the ball and knew more than pretty much anybody else. I learned a lot from them before they did retire
Time travel FTF
I guess it's just a case of keeping active, both physically and mentally. I remember visiting some hills nearby and struggling to walk up them... there was a guy in his 70's/80's went sprinting up to the top in shorts and a vest 😄
Jippikayee motherfucker

What kind of freak watches Christmas movies in April?
Actually, don't answer that. You run Watchtower.
first two die hard movies were good the rest were meh
For once I agree with @forest edge
There's more than one Die Hard movie?
The second one is totally ok, a lot better than other sequels for sure
I honestly forgot those were a thing
The more recent ones were pretty awful.
Die Hard with a Vengance is good as well. The reveal that the second Gruber brother also doesn't give a fig about revenge or ideology is somehow still entertaining
Oh and Sam L Jackson before he became a Sam L Jackson impersonator
The spoiler alert is supposed to come first 😂
like the game?
Cloudflare is conveniently blocking my ip range, so I can't unsubscribe from a Cinemark mailing list. Anyone feel like clicking through for me?
It's always December 24th somewhere in the multiverse
Nonsense. Anything else can be different but time's gotta be the same
What if they just started counting later or earlier for some reason?
Well, yeah... I guess there could be a universe full of idjits that can't count.
What if all the other universes are perfect and we're the only stupid ones?
Recently watched Star Trek TOS. They also went to a literal Planet of the Nazis
There was a Nazi episode in one of the games too
It was still raw history back then. Still is, I suppose
I take it back. Time can be variable. The only constant in the multiverse is that atx is always a c***.
pretty much how every movie portrays drunks in other countries lol
I used to love this TV show

cONGRATULATIONS hOME aSSISTANT rOCKSTARS!! I just installed my new HA Blue. I ran a small HA setup previously, but never REALLY brought over ALL my smart home devices to HA.. it was clunkyISH. The new BLUE, setup and ... so far EVERYTHING I SEE is better. Different. Awesome, and easy. w0w is all I can say - it feels like this software is 5 versions to the right! Anyway, I hope this time I embrace and FULLY go all in - blueprints seem stupid easy... do I even need Node Red this time round!? Anyway - thanks team HA. The Blue hardware is....... ridiculously nice.
Rockstars? 🤢
Mono == Rockstar
damn i miss rockenroll life, its over a year since last gig
I don’t know about everyone else but I am feeling warm and fuzzy
That's just the drugs
more...oh, nevermidn
Star Trek mirror universe is ridiculous
Can't take it seriously at all
Might as well have barney the dinosaur show up
Not as good as atx's onlyfans
yikes
Which mirror universe, though? 🤔
It's portrayed fairly differently in every Star Trek series, in spite of supposedly all being the same mirror universe
Though TOS and VOY were pretty consistent with one another
Yeah it is convenient that every show can tap into a universe where roughly the same crew of people end up in such close proximity, even though all the "evil" alternate acts that have been accumulated over the years make these coincidences highly unlikely. None of these people's forebears were killed in some evil purge?
@cedar chasm I mean, the lore is that there are multiple parallel universes. The mirror universe is only special because its events are so close to our own... temporarily
The timeline of the mirror universe eventually diverges so much from the prime universe that crossover stops happening (or can't happen)
Which makes room for a different convergent parallel universe to take its place as the defacto "place you swap with when the transporters fuck up" in future series
Yeah, Discovery tried to firm up the science I believe. But at the end of the day a degree of disbelief-suspension is required to enjoy ST at large
Basically, the fact that it's such a coincidence is what makes it the mirror universe in the first place, because too much divergence makes it impossible to reach 🤷♀️
I mean yeeeeah? But the federation being a Terran Empire doesn't happen in the space of an episode.
True. It started as a political movement in the 1950's in the mirror universe
But though a large number of coincidences (thanks to the infinite possibilities afforded by parallel universes), parental lineage in that universe appears to be identical to our own
That's the part that gets me
I mean, given infinite possibilities, that's possible. lol
There would have to be ONE universe where all the same people still exist
For all their evil they apparently shoot at each other GI Joe style
I mean, that'd be part of the reason the mirror universe eventually gets too different from our own to be reachable
if the lore is "only super-closely-related parallel universes are easily reachable" then the mirror universe, and its subsequent disappearance, make sense
I guess so.
I actually like infinite universe thinking to explain things
Things get really weird when you start thinking about what the reboot (and its alternative timeline) would do...
Does the alternative timeline have its own mirror universe, or is it shared? @_@
Somewhere out in the multiverse I'm on tour with Nick Cave.
TOS Kirk visits the mirror universe, but does reboot Kirk?
Infinity must mean the cycle repeats with Chris Pine Kirk
That's what we're settling on
What I'm curious about is if both Kirks visit the same mirror universe, or different ones that are more closely related to their own individual timelines
TNG had that episode with lots of enterprises having to cooperate
Worf was phasing between timelines until they figured out what was going on
Not exactly the same thing but conceptually adjacent
is it any chance of running a windows store program on a nas with wine? I have a dashcam video downloader that is extremely good, but not sure if I want to run windows in a vm just for downloading dashcam stuff. All other scripts cant compare to the functionality
That sounds horrible
My dashcam just presents as a storage device if I connect it
But I can just pull out the SD card too and copy directly
I want it to copy when I park
I tried a HA script, but that fails
blackvue. They have api, but not public available
Cloud based dash cam 🤢
If you want to you could have the VM get started programatically, do what it needs to do and then shut itself down
At least you're not burning resources
Although I question the value in the excercise overall. Why not just have your sd card rotate footage and just pull something off it if something happened
@clear ferry no its local, but using the api would help to make a plugin if I wanted
@hushed basalt yeah its not the best idea. I can run vm on my nas, but its not ideal no.
Nice. My HA is not connectable remotely. Again.

No need for gimmicky QR codes or tags here
I'm not a fan of voice assistants
But having qr codes in your house sounds so dumb
I don't get it
just have NFC implants
What rgb pink y’all using for light bulbs? All the ones I’m using look white
atx doesn't want any pink.
I'm not sure what Easter colours are though 🤔
Brown for all the chocolate I'm eating?
Hey guys, this is a super random question, it's pretty much r/tooafraidtoask level - so I recently got some Xiaomi temperature & humidity sensors and I've noticed the inside temperature is always 10-15 degrees higher than outside, even with no heating. What's that all about, how does that work?
Are you asking why the inside of your insulated house is warmer than the outside? 🤔
Turn on air conditioning
Open the fridge door...
Energy (including heat) transfers through different substances at different rates. It takes quite a long time for heat to be conducted through common construction materials. If the inside of your home is warmer than the outside, it takes a looooong time to reach equilibrium with the external temperature unless you open up all your doors and windows - and then you're actually just counting on the air moving (convection), not the heat being transferred (conduction).
And don't forget that just because your heating is off, that doesn't mean there are no heat sources. TV's, computers, fridges, freezers, even light bulbs - these all generate heat passively, even though their main purpose is to do something useful.
People also generate significant amounts of heat
My study gets a lot warmer than other rooms in the house... mostly due to my gaming PC that's always on, as well as other electrical equipment.
That's all absolutely fair, thanks, however I think I was wondering where the excess inside heat comes from. The appliances might be the answer, that's true
This is true. My wife generates a lot of hot air.
it's kinda funny how much heat can actually be stored this way
Anything that uses power, which includes humans
Yeah, energy conversion is never 100% efficient and the byproduct is almost always heat.
A properly insulated modern house requires no heating even in colder climates
So the conclusion here is we're all hot?
We all produce hot air, yes
It’s a thermodynamics, heat generators in enclosed areas will keep enclosed areas hotter
Which makes servers running inside a tempest safe pretty interesting...
Thank you all. I was reading some answers on questions similar to this, which also accounted for relative humidity, but that is more about "feels like" temperature, rather than actual temp
Well, I have an older gen dual xeon server, so I thank that for part of it. It'll be more fun in summer
There's only one AC for the entire apartment :/
Fun fact: incandescent light bulbs (the old ones with the glowing filament) give off more heat than light:
The energy consumed by a 100-watt GLS incandescent bulb produces around 12% heat, 83% IR and only 5% visible light.
Older Gen Xeon
older Gen Itanium 
oof, the amount of IR is insane
rip electric bills
That is modern
Is 400+ the minimum requirement for eco self-sustaining no-heating house?
I work on systems that idle at ... 20000w 🤣
do you rent Minecraft servers?
Nah, I work on actual important stuff, not just a ADHD farm 🤣
what machine idles at 20kW? 😮
atx runs Norway's national infrastructure. All their traffic, including government and military, goes through his basement.
And somehow his electricity bill is still only 30 Euro / month.

imagine a waterpipe breaking, that'd be unfort for Norway
@crimson hearth Just a small HPC system, nothing fancy
oh neat, something science related, perhaps gov or university supercomputer?
or just some company?
Most of the ones I've installed are either oil and gas or science
Three I've installed are currently doing covid calculations
Politics AND religion in a single image? 😄
10 days off because of covid, then Easter , thanks god Tuesday I can go to work .
I suppose lot of catching up
I was hoped do some Esphome this weekend, but my Rpi3 won't cooperate.
Days off due to covid? I can do has some?
'Sick leave' if it's genuine'. 'Pulling a sickie' if it's not.
I haven't since I found a job I like 😄
It's easy to make excuses not to turn up when you hate your job.
Yeah exactly
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Last 15 years, while I had my own business , I also haven't pulled a sickie
That just means we love our jobs 🤣

Doormat procurement services..recession-proof business, that
Selling used doormats on eBay.
Pre-chewed too. Helps it go down.
Pre-Internet you had to do business with your local neighbourhood Raccoon, like a chump
Now we can have premium services
Doordash. Raccoons now participate in the gig economy
some people around here actually entertain the idea that racoons might be taking some of their amazon deliveries
Slanderous notions
Only ps5, rtx cards and ryzen 5000 cpus
I mean, I highly doubt that....
Speaking of: kind of amazing that the PS5 is still only scalper-ware for the most part 😞
That'll continue to be the case until supply ramps up
Not looking hopeful with this chip shortage for all things tech.
Magic wand time
Keep it clean in here, thanks.
Oh yeah, there was a lorry of lewd things that got stolen in the UK I believe. 1 million quids worth
I promise me and the internet connected raccoon gang have nothing to do with it
I had a heck of time finding thermal paste of all things

@tidal bronze @dull chasm did you boys hide your easter eggs? one in the sand and the other in the swamp? lol
Still looks a little well done but not as bad as the first picture 😄
I was about to write you off as a peasant.
It was very medium. Edge to edge
That's the rarest I'd ever go
Steak is pretty expensive but I know you have it even worse
That was $45/kg for supermarket eye fillet.
Nice...I like my cow slapped on the ass and put on a plate also.
Can’t beat a good steak.
Is that a proper red in the background?
I thought about sous vide but I couldn't be bothered
Red wine? No it's coke
Was out of wine
I had to use sweet vermouth to make the jous as well since no red wine
Never had sous vide but can’t believe it beats grilled
Well you still grill it afterwards
Auh, ok.
You just sear
But all the actual cooking is from the water bath
So you can dial in your internal temperature exactly, edge to edge
We had traditional ham with corn on the cob and asparagus
Like your steak 57.5 degrees C with no overshoot or grey band, that's sous vide
Would have rather eaten at your house
I don't eat steak very often..the good stuff is very expensive and the crap stuff is not worth eating
I salted this and put it open in the fridge on a rack for 4 hours
Would have preferred overnight
And then cooked on a cast iron with a little bit of grapeseed oil on medium heat, flipping every 60 seconds
Oh and left it out for an hour before cooking
@forest edge no eggs, heading out to San Francisco for 1 or 2 nights 😆
oh? planning on coming back with a kid or two?
I don't think wine in Sonoma is that potent 🤔
i am very potent tyvm
When did you start to make wine ?

hey guys is it possible to have too many devices on a single 2.4 ghz wifi signal to the point the network is constantly crashing?
i have a netgear r7800 with about 35 wired and wireless devices.
low end routers tend to have 32 as max stations
But that router shouldn't be that bad I guess.
Wifi does rely on compliant devices though. So if you have 3 or 4 that do dumb stuff, that can also bring it down quickly
Almost bought a roborock s6 maxv but I think I'll wait for the s7 equivalent
That ultrasonic mopping and self emptying bin would be killer with machine vision from the s6 maxv
Atx would have just eaten it raw 🤣
Oh god the new discord canary code highlighting is so god damn sick
No way...
The rubber ducks lost in that 1992 spill are still turning up, almost 30 years later. Scientists have used them to track ocean currents. Lol
meh, watching repair videos in attempt to fix my dryer.. there was a tiny puzzle on the dismantling, no idea what part might be broken still but its fun to break things into part 😄
nah, what could possibly go wrong
just found the culprit of the problem i think, no thanks to video but electricity, something's up with the motor turning the drum, unfortunately that part is the most remote to access.
dang, my torx set is nowhere to be found, bits are too short, connectors are stupidly protected with another cover and pretty difficult to disconnect without removing it first.. I really see no point for that, connectors are locked so its not holding them in place either
Get lobbying for right to repair 😉
Companies make it difficult to repair so that you buy new stuff all the time. It's wasteful.
So would the above router be considered "Low end"? What is your setup like? What router /WAP's are you guys using? Just trying to find out what to do and what I can do.
I don't think it's on the lower end. But when in doubt, check your datasheet 😛
I got a custom build one, based on an apu. I think it supports 64 stations
indeed, we actually just yesterday realized how much we have recycled furniture, were talking about replacing the couch and started counting what has been purchased used and it was almost everything except curtains.. They all are like new so we recycle and save a ton of money and help people getting rid off their stuff, win-win
Apple are big on anti repair
Yeah. They're not content with charging double for their products. They also want you to buy them twice as often.
Device locked spare parts as well
Can't even use working parts from another genuine device to repair for a lot of stuff
Sounds like some governments are starting to apply pressure though. I'm hopeful things will change, even if it takes a few years to get there.
Takes pressure from people
Well, yeah. If the same idiots keep supporting them, they won't be in a hurry to change.
there are bunch of unused connectors, i wonder... might be next to impossible to find schematics for the controller.
Sometimes things get handled by workers high up enough to change things but not high up enough to be wined and dined by lobbyists,
So sometimes we get lucky
i don't have any errors so that makes it more difficult to debug this case. Now that i just got the panel disconnected i found some service manual with instructions for diagnostics programs and stuff.. Off to shop anyways for those torx ->
I need to buy some proper torx drivers
I have zero time for tinkering right now though
I've put off even buying a soldering iron for years because I know it would just sit in the box
I had repaired my dishwasher 16 times before bought new one. Even when service guy said that main board has to be replaced. I drilled some holes in pcb, and wired automotive relays into it .
Relays was working till the end

So... how does one 'irreversibly lift a pint to ones lips'?
Does the pint just stay there forever, never to be parted from your mouth again?
mmm beer
Our PM is a clown. 🤡
“On Monday the 12th I will be going to the pub myself and cautiously but irreversibly raising a pint to my lips,” he said.
The cautiously bit, I get. No-one wants to spill good beer.
hope they can keep some terraces open in the summer, my festival was just cancelled another year in a row 😦
Yeah, that's the next step here... outdoor seating will be allowed for bars and restaurants from next Monday.
But since this is the UK, I don't want to sit outside when it's only 10 degrees 😂
haha, been there enough to know at times there's also good warm weather 🙂
Yes, up to 6 days a year of it.
You mean the middle of summer, then
See, you know what it's like here.
I am proud of myself as hell, using HA prompted push text on TV "Stop taking phone, Emily!"
i am still saving my wakeup prank for daughter, trololoo from youtube with lots of volume

Yeah, waking people up with loud stuff isn't a funny prank...
i don't mean like ears bleeding volume, just enough loud
Naw, startling people isn't cool. You want your kid to grow up with PTSD/anxiety?
Someone made a bed that kicks them out
The Ejector bed is what you need if getting up in the morning is not your thing. Taylors of harrogate asked me to make a wake up device to match their High Voltage coffee so i set about making this wonderful machine which so many of you have requested i build (Like the one that clay inventor with his dog has)

What is the best way to take a backup of a WHOLE linux server? Does it exist anything for redhat 8?
You want to image it, or just back up the files?
I can think of 20 different ways just off the top of my head
for DISK in /dev/[sh]d[a-z]*; do dd if=${DISK} of=/dev/null; done
i could actually use something that does thin image of a disk.. i don't fancy to store all those zeroes.. There's plenty of commercial offering but there's probably good bunch of opensource as well, feel free to hint while i can do my googling, too
dd can handle sparse just fine
cat /dev/nvme?n\d+ | gz > backup
hmm true, looks like i put zero effort thinking the obvious 😄
I would just tar with a exclude. I bet I got it noted somewhere
tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz --exclude=/backup.tar.gz --one-file-system /
I think they were asking for knowledge, not underknowledge.
I was btw talking a generic (full) disk imaging with a possibility to installing it to another sized disk and so forth. I see i did not make much mention about that.. I'd actually first thing need to move one windows to an ssd, i can do my magic with the commands for other stuff but this i don't know well at all
dd can do that, but there's no shortage of other tools
I used this last time I wanted to move Windows between disks: https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/free-transfer-windows-10-to-new-hdd-ssd.html
Sure, it's not as 'cool' as the Unix stuff the others are sharing but it works.
Yeah i googled around in the meanwhile for dd/ddrescue/etc. tools, clonezilla was one of the results, need to read a bit more. Looking for painless, less nerdy stuff. Ghost is actually an old friend of mine so something similar yeah 🙂
