Bunch of boomers hating on YouTubers, m'kay π
you ol' grouches have been telling us to stay away from tutorial vids from day one, so I dare not watch any HA YT-videos
Videos are fine. I get that some people are visual learners.
YouTube celebrities though... how on earth did we end up in a timeline where it's insanely profitable for some nerd in a basement to just record their ramblings?
Even worse, they've been around long enough that we now have a generation of kids aspiring to be online celebs too.
I was a visual leaner before using docker, as soon i began using docker i completely switched to just reading the docs. i get so much more information out of it
Give up on school, just start a YT channel... π€¦ββοΈ
How is that any different from TV, other than it's easier to have a platform?
The problem is the platform. All these idiots thinking they're important.
I mean, it's a low key way of introducing universal basic income
People drop out of school all the time to chase a movie career
Noise used to get filtered out and editors would do their thing with the material before it was published. Now people can just put any kind of shit on the internet and other people will lap it up.
Look at me mom, I'm a youtuber
If it's that easy to make money on YouTube, why don't we all do that?
Yes why don't we
Fortunately, it's not that easy π The market's already saturated to the point where new channels get missed.
I can start a yt channel
my watchtower channel would make bank
Kinda my point. Way too many people think their opinions matter but there's only so much attention to go around.
2700 ways to throw up channel ?
All you Americans with your 4000 satellite TV channels... how many do you watch?
Yaaaaaaas
People still watch TV?
YT has become the same. More content uploaded than can ever be watched. Most of it goes unnoticed.
The only channel I watch is TPB
In America they do, they have sattelite internet and dialup too @forest solstice
As an American, this is news to me
I don't even care what I watch any longer, as long as it follows the basic sitcom/drama/depending-on pattern
Media Content, season 5
Just ask @forest edge his power goes out every three hours, he loves his landline
@forest solstice atx knows more about America than any American I know. If you need to know any deep dive analytics of US ask atx. It seems that's what Norwegians do on a daily basis. π
Sometimes it's news to me as well.
I mean it's important to study second world countries to see how they're rising or falling
Lmao.
Sounds more like the noise it makes on the way back up
Yes
Danish is the most sensible of all the Scandinavian languages.
Danish is crazy
Danish just sounds like German to me π€·ββοΈ
after 3 beer and a long night
Danish is a Germanic language of the North Germanic branch.
That explains that.
I can make out some words in Danish. I can't do that for all your crazy ass Viking languages.
@clear ferry there has to be a condition for you constant bashing of usa
They usually just call us europeans
well yall need a pill

Danish, Swedish and Norwegian are all basically the same language so this sounds weird. They just pronounce things a bit differently and in the case of the Danes incomprehensibly. Must be dependent on your native tongue
Yeah, some Danish dialects are incomprehensible for Danish people
Some if it just sounds like butchered german
Some of it just sounds like a Norwegian 250 years ago
How are they the same language? I didn't think the northern Scandinavian stuff derived from German.
They are all in the family of Germanic languages
Swedes decided to sing every sentence so it sounds a bit weird
i see retarded people all around, scheisse!
Isn't this true for most countries? When I first moved to Newcastle, I couldn't understand half the crap they said.
It's true for a lot of countries yeah. More so for bigger countries like England
There was some really weird English accent I remember someone once posting. That was just 
You think we're a big country? How sweet π
England. Big. π
populous π
Norway's three times the size of England π
We're not that populous either. Nothing special compared to most countries.
Accents here are interesting though. They reckon you can hear the difference every 20 miles or so.
England has more than twice the population density of France so it's pretty populous
The language is old too so the accents vary a lot
I know some Norwegian dialects are so bad
I mistook a Norwegian for a Russian once

There's some region in the US that uses the colonial era English I think. I saw a video once but haven't been able to find it since. Maybe I dreamt it...
The creole stuff is pretty bonkers
Part of Texas speaks German π https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_German
I've seen a documentary about that area. And it's a weird kind of German
Which creole stuff? A creole is just a type of language, it's not specific to one place.
The one they speak in the Louisiana area
I'd love to visit there. Don't think I'd like the madness of Mardi Gras but I'd still like to see the cities.
New Orleans looks amazing.
Let's go
I'm ready for a 8 week us roadtrip
I still have 67 vacation days this year
Wife wants to do a road trip. The only thing that puts me off is that I'd have to do all the driving.
you probably already know thats the easier part than sitting aside

any one use a kodi centric distro?
didnt know if there was a meta in which one of these is best
like if one had more support or something
I use Xbian, never tried the other because Xbian has always just worked, never had a reason to try the others. Been using it for many years.
I think I used libreelec on my Chinese TV box. Worked fine
word, our kodi instance on xbox corrupted, reinstall, does same thing
so redoing a pi to be our kodi box again
Which pi?
i think i grabbed a 3
I got rid of my china box because it was annoyingly slow in menus. Otherwise it was great
@clear ferry we found another one of your people
Why not both? I think my HA and Kodi on the same machine. Probably not easy with pi though I guess
π€ hope you got a good 56k dialup modem and extra long phone cable
Pi can run Debian, right? Then just use containers for everything on it.
meh, by that logic i should just start another VM on my rack server
but no gpu, so no hdmi out
Standard US internet?
I'll just stop by @forest edge and borrow his landline, or drive around with a satellite dish on the roof of the car so I can use the African broadband of the 90s
Make sure your email works or else you won't be able to reach him. No text, no whatsapp no telegram, just email.
I thought he only communicated via soft rock on FM radio
@forest edge usually sends emails to trigger frequency change on FM radio π
I'm amazed he gets it done with his power going out every three hours
Thank Dog for powered landlines
Trusted technology of the 60s
Perks of Barn life
i see people got jokes up in this channel today
Oh you finally got email
@forest edge before you go out of email range.... any chance you got AOL installer CD handy?
Was there an AOL floppy before there was an AOL CD?
aol had sent those damn cd's as spam mail so much that I doubt there is a single person who didn't get one
so much for that
xbian wount install claims see log for error
not dealing with that so onto the next one
Multiple things failing to install on the same hardware... sounds like a hardware fault.
wow, fucking xbians own image from their website wount even decompress because its corrupt
Looks fine here
i tried extracting the img and i tried having etcher just to itself
both times decompression failed with corrupt file being the reason given
Are you on dial-up too?
libre is fine, also comes with a docker addon so you can run anything else on it
ham radio internet
i dont need to run ANYTHING but kodi and certain grey market add ons for it maybe
it's always fun to see people on kodi forums freak out about these
let's call it grey area
yeah now i just need to find the non fucky repo for exodus
you'd think i'd have that in a file somewhere by now, but no
Sitting here wondering how my brisket is doing realized i should have finished my esp powered meat thermometer
Or you can take the RF route π
At least it's not charcoal
I have previously seen what happens when people forget about a grill/BBQ too long, and the potatoes end up looking just like the charcoal
Mines a charcoal grill. Itβs all I use
Charcoal is the way to go.
Tomorrow is ribs. Vacation will end with the meat sweats
Sounds good
Surf and turf from yesterday π
That looks good.
lobster tail with burgers without the bun? and what looks like child vomit sauce?
There are somethings you simply don't understand and I don't expect you to. π€£
a lot of weird things in this world many don't understand but california's take it to a new level
Dude.. thats the best kind...
don't think the language barrier would work. protesters face off with proper tea drinkers
Yeah, but it was annoying polystyrene snow here...
We went to the coast and there were these annoying little plasticky balls of snow getting in my face. π€’
Lol
Did finally have a chance to visit a local chocolatier with a shop over that way. Have heard of him but never actually been past his store before.
It's delicious π€€
More than welcome to π
That's fine, more chocolate for me π
Bought some stuff today
Rgb strip, 20A supply, nodemcu, temp & humidity sensor, sonoff S26, LLC.. etc.
Stip is gonna be a pain. 5m ws2812b 60 pixels/m. Gonna have to inject every meter or so to keep above 4.5v
been playing Valheim, didn't realize just how accurate it is https://5images.cgames.de/images/gamestar/208/valheim-bonemod_6133664.jpg
I love how you managed to create a character that looks just like you.
Most games don't allow you to get that accurate but it's perfect, right down to the knuckle dragging and scrawny waistline.
didn't know i was norwegian
74 here today. Not bad weather
74 degrees celsius = 165.2 degrees fahrenheit!
Damn, that's hot.
Iβm sure it will get nice and warm the day after vacation
how many Norwegian are in you?
None yet, @clear ferry can't visit right now.
Just had a cyclone in my state last night
I arrive in your state Tuesday. Hopefully it will be gone by then (also Freo is too far south for it I think).
Yeah I'm im Perth and there's nothing here
laptop recommendations anyone?
Dell xps's are pretty damn good
most everybody has been knee-jerk recommending MBP
Theyβre great
I haven
haven't owned one since before the unibody
sucks that they don't have anything better than an i5 in the smaller chassis
You decide to go with Apple first, then you pick the hardware
Lenovos are pretty solid
All the workstation class laptops are pretty solid it's as much a personal preference
I've been using HPs for 7ish years now
I can't stand XPS, their keyboards are icky to me
I won't be using the laptop as a laptop 99% of the time
it'll be closed under my monitor with a USB-C cable plugged in
I used to say that
But it's so great to take it away and work in the garden or on a couch or a cafe
in the before times I used to go to Starbucks for a few days a week for a few hours
It'll go back to that while you still have the laptop
I'd go for a ~13" model myself
Work bought me a 16" MBP and it's so heavy
no 8-core processor other than the M1 in the 13" chassis
13β is where itβs at. The 15s feel giant by comparison
Dell XPS you can get an i7 in a 13" chassis
and it's fuckin $900 cheaper
with twice the RAM
imagine paying resonable prices for dies lol
Wait until the chip crises is somewhat resolved
though the xps15 is quite small for a 15
Whatever you do don't buy a Dell G5 15". Apart from the fact that it is a brick (more like four bricks) it thermal throttles and freezes like a bastard. I had to turn off cpu boost or whatever it's called.
There are quite a few online complaints about this. Going to disassemble it and check the thermal paste when I get home. It really is huge. As a desktop replacement while away in a fixed location it was better than lugging a full desktop PC.
Thermal throttling on a desktop replacement is a shame
The whole point of desktop replacements is to be larger to afford a higher performance
While still having something transportable, although not a friendly commute
is there a way to use a vpn on librelec?
"what stage of lockdown are you in? Baking? Gardening? Home improvement?"
"Pickling"
Made my own pickled red onions. The color is beautiful, and they taste amazing. Just had some on a burger π

Election year here in Norway, so many people are on the lockdown stage: overthrow the government
But pickling works too
Lol, I see atx approves
What gives the pickling solution the pinkish-red colour?
The blood
They're red onions. That's their natural pigment seeping into the brine
Onion blood then.
I like to grow and pickle hot peppers. Havenβt had much time lately to keep the growing part going. Itβs that time of year to get to the nursery though.
How strict are the minimum system requirements?
Like will HA not launch at all if the specs aren't met
or will it just heavily complain
Depends on what you mean
Ask that in the apropriate support channel depending on your install type π
(more a topic for #hardware-archived though)
ok
Worth reading the channel topics
I mean to be fair I'm talking about a hypothetical, likely unsupported configuration
Well, head over to #hardware-archived and ask, and then we can tell you why it was a daft idea π
I'm looking for a HA roadmap. Does anyone know if that exists?
There's not really a formal one
You can look at the Github repos to work out what's going on, and the architecture one has some high level stuff
@clear ferry why the hell are zbooks so expensive?
smart card reader
Itanium or PowerPC is not supported π€£
What about i286?
Probably
Not sure if you can make it run with less than 1MB RAM though
Atx is always up for a challenge though
I'm sure with a large enough swap file anything is possible
I mean what even is RAM except really really fast storage
Just saw this
Already onto the spirits on a Monday. This is going to be a good week... π
I had to work Sunday night because the company had a major cert expire...
You win. I'm just in a bad mood with my manager π
Gotta love spending 3 hours on a Sunday going through domain validation...
My biggest complaint with my management is .... let me get back to you on that
Not that sort of spirit btw @deft pewter ?
No π
(No one seemed to get the joke)
OH
One of these, minus the Lillet: https://www.thespruceeats.com/abbey-cocktail-recipe-759566
I got it... π
Note: certificate renewals are delegated to a different person. They somehow managed to re-key the cert while paying for the renewal...
Broke everything as soon as the original cert expired
Phew! π€£
Of course, it's exactly the kind of joke I'd make π
Michelle's a dad too?
Me: "what server did you use to generate the CSR and complete the certificate request? I need to export the private key"
Them: "I didn't generate a CSR?"
Me: "How the heck did you re-key it without a CSR??"
The webadmin literally won't let you do that, but somehow they did...
Had to re-re-key it to get the private keys
Nice to see you work with smart people
People like that are why I stopped doing support
I'm several levels above support, lol
Oh, I left anything that could be vaguely related to it. Not a hope in hell of getting called in
But I was also the only person responding to "zomg, everything is down" alerts that evening
And now.... now I'm one of the people that gets involved when so much brown stuff hit the fan, there's no sign of the fan any more... 
You are chief pressure washer user?
Lol
What's really fun is it's common for me to design automation that, if it falls to resolve an issue, will generate a ticket for a human to take a look.
It's also common for SOME of our engineers to bounce the tickets back up the chain to me with the note "automation failed to resolve this, you might want to take a look at that"
My life is ruined now
I'm like... Bitch... The automation did all it could and is now asking you for help. Work the ticket yourself...
Some people are far too stupid to exist.
Clearly it easier for them if you resolve it for them though
@last dirge because they are great, I wanted a Zbook firefly with 4k display, but had to settle with a fury
A furry?!
That happens occasionally when it's something that could be added to the automated process
That is good I guess
I am all about proactive problem resolution
Had a "I have no 230" alarm that a guard didn't resolve (rcd had tripped) that ended up with a whole house door entry and alarm system being dead, and needing new batteries
Which would have been resolved quickly if we had sorted an "email on critical error" email
This is the way.
π
I managed to write 5 lines of code today. Still solved a problem in less time than my boss thought it would take π
I think 3 of the 5 lines came from Google. The other two lines were just the if statement surrounding them π
5 lines of code you say
Yeah, really busy day!

"Quickly, there's no time"
Adapted from Tolkien's amazing words, the first chapter of The Silmarillion spans the mythological creation of Middle-Earth and its gods. Told here with loving care and reverence in 54 full color pages. Original story by Tolkien, not owned by Evan Palmer. I was interviewed about the book &nbs
automation, you live by the code you die by the code
e.g. we have monitoring software that we use to check on devices, make sure they are up, etc.
but due to shit coding, it constantly gives false alerts.
we are constantly having to send an email to support saying "server alert said server offline. performed remote connection. server is really online. please look into false positive."
everyone is fine with automation when it works π
The best automations just work and you never here from them
@bitter pawn What's fun is when the false positives aren't necessarily false...
The server may be online NOW, but why did it report offline? Is the monitoring service down? Faulty networking? Rebooted unexpectedly?
I'd say it's their job to investigate before they call it a false positive...
I get tickets like this bounced to me all the time, and 9 times out of 10, there was a VERY good reason the ticket generated
"Hey, these weren't false positives, the server was crashing and rebooting every night at the same time... YOU need to look into that..."
Though by that point, I've done half their job for them just by finding the root cause π
True. I have code running in my 64 port goop esp that I have yet to get mqtt to always see it online but it always works. Lights on when door opens and such. Not worth my time to figure out why it shows offline when itβs online.
It reports offline even though itβs not. So I turned off offline notification. If I open the garage entry door and the lights turn on for 4 minutes and shut off without motion I consider it good. That unintentional notification works better any other because we open that door at least every boule hours. I used to stress the it would show offline
Why did I read that as 'I'm trying to rewrite someone's ESP homework"?
It wouldn't be the first time someone's come to this server for help with homework π
They did that when I started on IRC in the mid 90s
why stop now
apparently I had disabled a CPU socket on my rx3600 for some testing
didn't understand why only one CPU was showing up
cpuconfig 1 on
π
fun, annoying fact, some itanium servers label the system board CPU 0\1, some 1\2, EFI always labels it 0\1, and HP-UX always labels it 1\2
so when support asks you to replace CPU1
WE CAN HAVE A FUN TIME
i can relate to that.. There was also some kernel at some point which swapped NICs order
well yes, that was normal in linux of old
when updating BIOS'
and the enumeration changed
which is why I prefer ens1p2 over eth2
didn't ever have that but the linux kernel swapped them at some point
yeah, one learns to do things differently once they break first time
same with HP-UX and persistent disk paths
like /dev/rdsk/c2d5t3 compared to /dev/disk12
and also /dev/ttyACM0 compared to /dev/serial/by-id/lol-yo-moma-port00
Seagulls nest episode 1.
Seagulls' Nest proudly presents Timo Kotipelto of Stratovarius.
FIRST EPISODE OF SEAGULLSβ NEST - new kind of music series. All the events take place at the spark of a moment and it includes plenty of genuine moments between the hosts and the guests. The main focus of this series is in music.
As a result, each Seagul...
Oh nice, Stratovarius Covers
Or is it A-ha ?
π
Ah stratovarius
better
I should listen to some Stratovarius, I haven't in many years
Listened a lot around the turn of the century
mmmm making partner presentations
thought you might be remotely interested on that, its even in english or with subtitles, would have not pasted it otherwise
i mean we talked about seagulls and some norwegian similar band back long ago
Yes, I've listened a bit to them over the years
Wow. That is a great interpretation.
π€£
We should at least send him a Blue to drop.
It did sound like he'll be doing more of it too. Can only be a good thing in the long run
in short-term there might be people who are less understanding of what HA is though
thankfully most of those users will probably end up in #330990055533576204 so I don't have to see them
You can't just set up a Hass system and then leave it there.
That's been repeatedly proven to be impossible.
Indeed
i have already on copypaste buffer "are you one of those LTT people?" π
but, i worry not, too busy and too tired to give out any support and there's still a ton of tree left on the upright position. We should be getting the treetops down today and then it disappears fast, been very slo-mo with the branches and virtually no room to drop them down
i'll probably take next week holiday, or part of it, some left-overs from last summer, i thought i had them all but seems i didn't
HR on EU level is nagging me this year to get rid of more vacation
I told them last year I would use a lot, but I only used 24 days or something π€£
its their job and its for your benefit π
so 25 days taking in july, that'll bring me down to.... 42 days left
@clever mortar likes this
Had a friend who had enough banked leave to take 6 months off, so did ... π
can't you convert them to money to solve the problem those others are having with your vac days?
you could buy yourself a new pi or something
only if you leave the company they will pay it out
I think it stopped in the mid 00s
ah alright, yeah we don't convert that stuff easily either. Also at certain point those vac days actually get old and gets removed
Paying people for "excess" holidays encourages them to not take it
until 2015 we were only allowed to transfer 12 days a year
but since all has to be transferred
our hr keeps bombarding to convert holiday pay to vacation.. nah, i love being on holiday but i love the money as well, cannot afford to be on holiday if no money coming in
I normally don't get to roll any over. They allowed us to roll over 5 days last year because no-one could actually go on holiday π
then again no need to go too far this summer it seems..
Using my 5 days next week because I'm grumpy at the moment and want to sabotage a busy sprint relax a bit π
and eat some megapussi
on our "main news" yesterday they shows pics from uk where some pubs were opened and people were very happy about it
Ah... the pub reopening thing is a joke. Outdoor service is allowed and people are bending the rules just a little by putting up marquees and serving inside them.
It's not fucking outside if you have a roof and walls.
i think no matter how hc coder or tech one is, a vacation does good for everybody, its good to get away completely from the job stuff
ah, heh, well i only saw a brief news clip, couple of interviews and such
LOL. I'll be writing code on my week off too, just not corporate code π
but that's all different π
many of us has hobbies very close to actual work but you are still the customer, qe and coder all yourself and you set your milestones as you want or just drop it all and come here to rant π
i'll be probably chopping those trees unless i can get some friends over here to help out, some beer, pizza and sauna should do it
it just sucks a bit its a little difficult to come here with public transportation

i actually promised to handle the travel costs.. and next thing i hear guys are coming half a way from the country here with train...
you handle the travel costs?
Why not charter a Jet or helicopter?
I haven't touched mine since 0 96 5

I still have Home Assistant Core (0.88.2) running
my offer was targeted more towards the currently unemployed roadie pals, a train from nearby shouldn't cost many euros..
i won't be flying you overly paid bastards with a private jet here even thought it would be most likely very much fun event π
oh, cool, i totally forgot we've got nowadays some busses too, they used to be rare and just about unusable given the schedules (like first bus to work would leave around 2PM..)
Have you heard about "Undantaget som bekrΓ€ftar regeln"?
This manual might have been written by @clever mortar

It's about the Swedish language and how every "rule" to the language tends to come with at least one exception, to the point that you almost can't call it a confirmed rule until you have found what the exception is. In other words; there's always exceptions.
^
Okay, so here's a leading question..... do you have defined rules for IP addresses on your network?
I'm redesigning my network at the moment in anticipation of having a ONT installed on the 26th, with a complete overhaul. I'm thinking of setting static IPs within ranges so I can easily remember them say 2-10 home network infrastructure (pihole, NAS etc), Me having 50-59, wife having 60-69, daughter having 70-79, son having 80-89, smarthome and automation having 200-240 etc.
Anyone else have anything like that?
@weak needle me
first 30 ips of my (/24) network is carved out for network & IoT stuff
eventually im getting a proper enterprise solusion and vlanning
so I'm not over complicating it. I thought I was going too much into it (my background is military comms so that's how I was trained back in the day...)
I was thinking that
carving out spesific ranges within the same range isnt the most elegant solusion
Im stuck with a crappy isp router/switch/ap combo & cant vlan :((
so for now everythings on a 192.168.0.xx/24 subnet
ooof. I have about 15-20 routers at this point as I work in the VPN industry now
ah. Well i live in a relatively small, angient apartment
so enterprise is grossly overkill for me. But o well
I dont use them, I just needed them to write all the setup guides π
I actually use an Asus mesh network
Looks like il be going with a dream machine pro
Hows the performance?
very nice
really good actually
can also be flashed with Merlin firmware easily which gives additional options and performance
cool
Pretty much all routers suck at VPNs though due to using ARM chips and not having acceleration. I have an InvizBox for that (I work there)
(so if you want a discount code, give me a holler)
Im facing a dilemma rn. I cant seling mount my AP, so il need to go with a bidirecrional one.
Problem is that ubiquiti dosnt sell any wifi 6 bidirectional ap's
and im not going wifi 5 when every new device's got 6
so im gonna have to sit on my ass and wait. Or get a wifi 5 ap and upgrade later.
Not our apartment (as in we dont own it)
& cabling, ew
oh, so not integrated ceiling.... got it
yea
yeah, I have to run some cable through walls later today
apartment complex is ~100 years old
not looking forward to it
damn. US based?
sweden
240, all the amps ;)
A dream machine would be amazing, but again, wifi 5.
and the dream machine is all in one. So no upgradability
wifi 6 & new esp's with support for it. Glorious 1 - 5 (& 6) Ghz goodness.
The dream.
give it time
thats why I'm looking at the new Asus routers as they mesh and have wifi 6
getting hold of wifi 6 devices will be hard though for the future due to the semiconductor shortage
Why not wired ap's?
we're looking at 16 week lead time currently for AX chips
Its a goddamn shit show. The perfect storm of bad timing & luck
they're wired. Still a mesh though
let me check
26 excluding ethernet. My HA ODroid arrived today so that will be going on but getting rid off the hue bridge and hive bridge
I have 86 devices registered to the router however, just 26 active now
I do ranges for different stuff
But I do DNS lookups for almost everything
So in the end it doesn't matter much
For some reason mdns just dont wanna work on my crappy isp box
And wg dosnt do local routing & just refuses to connect
I just bought a house!
I sold most of the valves, and 37 of the doormats I got last night

Itβs marketing that leaves no indication about what the heck it even is
Probably has a fancy LED screen too, which is super important on a router that you hide in a cupboard.
Just got in from a run and thought I was slow.
Turns out I am slow but it's still my quickest slow run this year.
Not stopping to walk several times does wonders for your average pace π
Just expect mDNS to never work and use proper DNS

So it caters perfectly to Unifi users who have no idea how networking works then
Hi there people, how do you remove the entities not found in the automated generated lovelace?
This channel is not for home assistant related topics. If you want help with lovelace, try #frontend-archived
thanks
This channel is for mocking Unifi users π
Cisco needs to release some homelab-friendly WAPs already...
The licensing required to keep Meraki WAPs operational is insane
why not ubiquity?
because
#the-water-cooler message
wtf cant change grafana pass
with an api exposed???
Or is that some sort of local user?
Is that an #add-ons-archived?
Add-ons π₯
Supervisor π₯
siMPLiCItYπ₯
MaNAgEd OpERAtiNG SysTem π₯΄
that was my only gripe
π€’ π€’ π€’ π€’
but the amount of configuration & shit one would give up by not going the OS route... yea no, OS it is
and additional few hours of googling around for every addon, update & misc thing you wanna add/remove
i love docker, but the OS is leaps and bounds more plug & play
Eh... I'll take control and flexibility over pointy-clicky any day
Pointy clicky is for my TV
^ 99% of my things are confed like this
i mean, ffs im gonna be spending 800$ on enterprise networking hardware for my small 2 room apartment
that should tell you something.
Yes, but maybe not what you think π
Already running Cisco + Aruba. Ubiquity would be a huge downgrade >.>
Considering all
unifi seems like the best option for me.
i said for ME
LTT shows its effect
they did a video on unifi?
I meannnnnn in many enterprise cases i recommend to use unifi stuff as it's just easier for the end user and doesn't have stupid subscriptions
We've had issues with ubiquity in enterprise because there's basically zero support for them. Even getting an RMA for a dead WAP is like pulling teeth
But hey, if ya like cisco i don't blame you it's great
Actually I'm one of the people who had good experience with thier support
What support? lol
They do have support
You call them up, they tell you to talk to whatever vendor you ordered the product from. They won't help you XD
Which usually means we have to talk to CDW rather than Ubiquity to get their stuff replaced
Direct is best
We've had much better experiences with HPE support for Aruba products π€·ββοΈ
Different regions. Different experiences etc
US / California. Where you at? lol
Eu/poland
Yeah, that'd explain the difference
We have actual law here xd
Their US branch basically doesn't seem to offer any form of support. They expect you to do everything through a reseller
HPE, on the other hand, will gladly support their hardware, no matter where you bought it
I mean they seam to be distancing from resellers they have thier own store now
I'm soured on ubiquity after this whole thing https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/03/whistleblower-ubiquiti-breach-catastrophic/
Idk only had 1uap fail
Procurve Aruba is mostly lifetime warranty all over the world
peace with you all
No questions asked, hardware replaced after 1-2 days
@shy dome it's mostly CloudKeys we have issues with, not the UAPs themselves
Ah
Those things die if you look at them wrong, AND they have no built-in redundancy
You can't buy two and make an HA config
Yeah I self host the controller
They just don't do that... which is insane to me
We started deploying Raspberry Pi 4's running the controller software, because they're more reliable than the real CloudKeys >_>
yeah i have my stuff on aws for customers and locally i have a lab so i don't mind a vm for the controller Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I prefer switch management stay up without needing the entire virtualization stack running...
Of course, my switches all have local interfaces, and don't need a management device/VM running in the first place...
Ya see. I personally like that it's all centralized
π€’
Doesn't have to be non-centralized. I have management running
I have one site on tp link switches and it's so much pain to manage
But it runs as a cluster across multiple switches
Manage switches? What is this? The 90s?
As long as ONE switch is up, I can get to central management
Neat
Also talking pi. I got one recently and am looking to power it over poe do you know if I can fit the poe hat on it
With the case on
Depends on the case, honestly
The one they supply with the starter kit
There's probably a few dozen different starter kits for each model π
Dis
Oh, the official Pi case
Eyeball says probably
There are a ton of different starter kits, with different accessories / cases
So we needed a bit more info
Ik should have been more clear
If it does fit that case, then there's not going to be much/any fan clearance, which isn't a good thing
Fans need air - no air, not so good
And most poe devices are fanless
Buy a case with a hole... or drill some holes
So a question cuz I'm lazy. The poe hat supports active poe right
Yes/No/Maybe/RTFM
Rtmf?
it includes something with reading
:^)
Active. The Pi supports 802.3af
Thanks
Experiencing Issues with Reddit Infrastructure
Now how am I going to get my silly GIFs
bruh, it worked 5 minutes ago π
a what?
Oh, yay... it's another shill promoting alternate chat servers.
what?
No, we use Discord. No, we aren't moving. No, we don't care that your way is 'better'.
ok
sad noises
I have no idea why people join a server just to suggest that thousands of people all switch to a different server.
Sorry i was just asking if it existed

Just started watching Resident Alien. I love Alan Tudyk π
I wanted to like that but I can't get into it.
Watched most of the first season before giving up.
Hah. The reveal at the end of the first episode. This is going to be fun.
Matrix is nicish, although Riot/Element(the most feature rich one) i always found a bit slow
Moving away of discord woulnt be terrible.
I'ts defenitly better then IRC but it's a data octopus
How youre feeling bout the chatter that microsoft want to acquire discord?
I will also point out that you can just join the unoffical freenode IRC channel through matrix :P
I will point out that I bridged all IRC servers I use to discord π
people are actually in the freenode channel which is interesting
i mean, I really like the way ms asks you 56874 times if you really want to turn off tracking in windows. I just hate that they do anyway.
I fear the same with anything else they touch, already switched everything git to gitlab. linus ftw
Yes... a few people might move. Good luck getting the entire community along with the core devs to switch π
How many dozens of people do you have over there?
60 users currently
We got 7k logged in here right now...
There's a good chance there are more contributors online right now than you even have total members.
I have no connection to it, my irc client is just in it. Its currently OP-less although im not sure if its just because the OP is offline
Discord is like a pack of sweets
Super delicius, but uhmm
my status since like forever π€£
Itβs getting MSN Discord Messenger Azure Professional Server Edition 2016 TM at some point
edit: forgot TEAMS in there
and skype
I actually like Teams π€·ββοΈ
It's a little bloated but it's a good example of an all-in-one comms tools.
If people would stop emailing me, I could just have Teams open and completely ditch Outlook.
oh, you really donβt want to login with your MS onecloud account? you will miss out!
- yes.
... fuck you! no access without!
That thing is currently annoying me too
or am i being stupid?
yeah, my fault
MSN π€’ I remember that crap
MSN Azure Teams Discord yea, maybe
You have a outstanding security issue
opens it
You dont have one drive enabled
I would enable it, if it didnt break the sims
Hey, atleast skype provided an easy way to do realtime network performance monitoring.
all ya needed to do was piss someone off.
everything prior to teams was a crashy pit of despair on a mobile device
And was one of the main reasons for 464XLAT
Teams is actually pretty nice on all platforms
Argh Teams. that crap also spys on me fix π€£
while true; do
sleep $[ ( $RANDOM % 3 ) + 1 ]s

Was refering to the ip grabbing crap
piss some kidos off, enjoy 3h of downtime
Is that just so you don't get flagged as 'away'?
eeexactly
If my boss ever claims I was inactive, I'll just tell him I was doing handwritten work π€·ββοΈ
i like clickclick, no idea if it works on win though
Most of my day is spent thinking, not typing. Doesn't matter if I'm moving my mouse or not π
sets activity to Do Not Disturb perminantly
It's probably more likely I'd get called out for that, since no-one would know when it's okay to call me π
I've loved home working but I'm always available if my teammates want to talk about stuff, work or otherwise. One guy did that whole DND all day and I gave him a few polite reminders that it's no use if we don't know when he's genuinely busy.
I think thats the terrible but fun part (when you are the admin)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-started-with-teams-monitor-usage-and-feedback
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-activity-reports#microsoft-teams-device-usage-report
tracking π€’
Your organization can use the activity reports to decide where to prioritize training and communication efforts.
Yeah, that's exactly how businesses will use it...
At least it looks like it's pretty much an admin-only feature. Line managers don't see all that.
just add Reports reader role to the user, done π
Wouldn't have thought most places would hand that out to everyone but it's a possibility.
Looks like it's more a 'big data' thing to analyse trends.
Don't be lazy and rely on Teams for that. Test it yourself: https://monkeytype.com/
A minimalistic, customisable typing website. Test yourself in various modes, track your progress and improve your typing speed.
Funny name but good tool.
They have a Discord too... they get way too carried away about typing speed and their fancy keyboard setups.
on the one hand Iβm disgusted to have to use windows on my work pc but on the other hand Iβm administering things in the banking sector and no one can do that analysing stuff because of reasons
No-one can watch all the stuff I could do during the day because... KVM switch π
Not that I'd slack off when I should be working.
Slow days, sure... but I don't take the piss.
Holding it in can give you a urinary tract infection π
That was funny right there ^^^^^
Itβs a pretty simple concept.....when there are things to do, get them done. When there are not things to do.....relax.
Companies that want to track their devs screen use would be toxic as fuck
if they want to make sure that I work 8 hours, then by god, they'll get exactly 8:00:00:00
or, ya know, just pay attention to the work that gets done
All the 8 hour work day discussions make me so jealous.
sometimes I think this channel needs to be renamed to off-topic-complaining
What about complaining-about-off-topic-complaining
#random_rants
@static schooner place I'm headed has "unlimited paid time off"
which is more or less "get your shit done, we're not your parents"
So does mine
But itβs more about not wanting the liability of vacation on their books
And employees tend to take less time off under that program
The payout when they switched was nice
no doubt
thanks to covid I think I'm going to have multiple free weeks from my vacation membership expire before I can use them
BOOOO
Lol they didn't pay mine out. They forced us to burn through it before the new plan kicked in
How many weeks off do people take there
Good interview question
Also since it's a startup gotta ask how many hours per week people work
Unlimited time off. Some of our people even get a whole 2 days off a year. Also you'll need to work weekends I hope that's not a problem.
Does anyone know what the password requirements are for a new HA install owner account?

get out of voice @clear ferry noone wants to hear a cat being strangled this morning
Hmm.. need to finish my presentation on Superdome series for partners, and need to get started on my ansible and kubernetes workshop for internal use
should make it so that when you simply click anywhere on the table that gets highlighted it opens up the editor for that automation imo
damn mobile friendly stuff
dunno why i am still piping temp and humidty readings through grafana. i ain't learning anything from it lol
I love some corporate stuff that makes no sense, I get a warning in the travel app because the flight I want is $100 more, but I would have to wait 5 hours at the airport with the option it wants me to take, and I cost the company $250 per hours I'm sitting at the airport

or like when I travel to southern france for work, and it tells me "you should take this flight it is cheaper" and that flight requires an overnight stay in zurich, but is $50 cheaper

Computer says no
Yeah, I had one where it was cheaper to get a flight in business class than economy, so I had to justify saving money...
Or the other fun where it's ok to get a train, but getting a flight is cheaper and faster, yet the system says no π
trains are fucking expensive in the UK
a one person single way ticket to wales from london was as much as a rental car for three days
so we opted for that
Yeah, but I do prefer them when I'm not in a rush. Get on the train, chill, get off
hows your companies in regards of keeping a bit of holiday aside the business trip?
Depends on the trip, but generally quite flexible
Same here, obviously business trip reason cannot be tied any way to your desired holiday destination...
I know somebody who got sent half way around the world and added a month of holiday to the end of it. Work paid for the flights, they just had to sort out their costs for the holiday part
Exactly. I flew to Texas and had some 4 days vacation aside it, obviously paying for my own expenses and no daily allowance, just adjust flight schedules accordingly and it often actually gets cheaper for the company
I've just heard some are absolutely against anything such, must be the same companies that think working remote is not working at all..
I know one lot that flew somebody to the other side of the world, and then immediately back. The meeting was even at the airport hotel, so they never even left the airport 
usually no issues for me, In the past I would travel 2-5 days before the event and leave 2-5 days after the event
with kids, I try to get home as soon as possible
but if I travel to the US etc I do a couple of days extra to adjust
Also, I charge the company for those extra days
Yeah, if major timezone changes are involved it's only sane to have time to adjust, or you're not at your best
I was supposed to go to a conference in LV, but me and my wife was supposed to stay a week in NY before the event and fly in country, when the event got cancelled I got the company to refund my plane tickets to and from NY since I had paid those myself
superdome flex hard looks just like my raspberry pi

"well that was fun"
IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST PRESENTATION YOU'LL EVER SEE ON DISCORD
very likely yes
not so far, haven't got todays post yet
NO, tHE BeST wAS From FReNCko BOY
does not count as i wasn't around
π€£
I've done that. B&B out in the sticks, woke up, jumped in the car to head to the meeting, and I realised a couple of miles down the (deserted) road that I was on the wrong side 
Normally I'm somewhere with enough traffic or buildings it's obvious, but the B&B was the only building for miles, and no other traffic
fsck me, installing an OS from ISO image..
what is wrong with that ? π
given all the other possibilities installing an os... ohwell, this is new template so there's always the first install, touching something old..
why on earth default selection of software has print server...
and boot loader config doesn't default to the only disk it has which i just partitioned and installed to.. argh
yeah, this env had pxe's and shit but no more, being shut down but until that happens i needed a fresh version
I should get my kubernetes lab up and running
I have nagged the EU manager for two new servers now so I can run more labs
I'm limited by one vmware host and 64GB RAM
so asked for a Gen10 with 512GB+ memory, plus a smaller box with 128G+
yea.. that are truly painful limitations
used to worry about those, not any more, cloud is unlimited, at times it burns, too π
You monster
Eh, I am currently nagging for an enterprise billed account to AWS and Azure too
let's see how that pans out
You are still talking about servers with more ram than some people have storage π€£
I work pretty much full time in aws
hm, have to reconnect my esxi host, forgot to connect it after moving my coral
It has it's duct tape and tears
cloud cameras π
