What's wrong with moss
In general, nothing. When it's 90% of your lawn... everything.
We had a moss problem but it didn't take much to deal with. Couple of applications of that multipurpose feed and a good raking...
Hello
You could just go pure moss lawn
I've heard good things about clover lawns but I think our cold winters would kill it.
Hot? You have to boil it first?
Just go right to the hard stuff and bypass the messing about
Do they mean hot as in 'fiery'? I like a good fiery ginger beer.
Fentimans make some good traditional sodas.
Aye, I've had those

@hearty depot Is this where I take screenshots of the Slingshot 200Gbit uplinks ?
How much uplink do you have from your ISP?
@real frigate I wanted to get HA running on my HP-UX testbox, but no python3 for hpux π
Wait wha?! LOL... What about docker v0.0000000.1 alpha? That works on ux though, right? π

Spotted dick is such a weird recipe though. Who on earth thought to use suet in a dessert? π€’
If I'd known what was in it before having it, I probably wouldn't have tried it. Now that I have, I love it.

Not to be mistaken with bread and butter pudding... π
Oh, look. More suet π

Tinkerer - is it true that this is your national weather service? https://www.taps-aff.co.uk/
Omg dads army
Hahaha
Well, yes. Above 13C it's taps aff
Don't tell him Pike!
Don't tell him your name Pike! is what you were looking for π
Maybe :P
Tinkerer knows his classic TV too well.
Makes sense, he was probably old when it first aired...
Think that checks out
I watched it as a kid, watched it many times since. Watched the various making of type programs too π
Ok. Who is the oldest one? I'm the year of "The new hope"
I watched that in the cinema when it was first released
Back to the future was high school for me. Along with breakfast club, the greatest movie of all time
So old...
Karma.....one day you will be old....and because you fβed with older people, you wonβt be cool like Tink and I.
You'll both be long gone by the time I get old π
Although I havenβt figured out if he is older than me
He's at least 72.
Lmao......
As long as you act 27, doesnβt matter how long you have been on this earth π
Or even 14 as my wife would suggest
shrugs
and even then you can get away with stuff
like saying your mom jokes all the time
I would never insult Mrs Tran like that.
were guessing ages based off movie titles?
(Momma Tran?)
Well we're still stuck trying to guess Tinkerer's real age. He gave a vague 'I watched it as a kid' without saying how old he was or which season was still airing at the time π
I think I'm on the younger side here, even at my advanced age of 35.
ill be 38 this year so not too far off
Advanced age of 35 π€£π€£π€£π€£
but.. i LOOVE mother...
up to 1800, that was old age: https://www.verywellhealth.com/longevity-throughout-history-2224054#:~:text=of Bubonic Plague-,From the 1800s to Today,and 40 years of age.
Yes, it was tongue-in-cheek π
That was interesting... Lidarr just decided that it wanted to monitor every artist on my HDD. I've never asked it to do that and it's been sitting there idle for months.

@shy comet do use shield for sideshows?
sideshows?
Lol slide shows
lmao, i never really had to
Looking for a method to start a slide show automatically
cant we cast them?
Casting can't be scripted right ?
umm maybe with tasker?
yea that might work actually, use tasker with mqtt so you can push commands and have it trigger things....thats waht i do for my baby monitor on the TV lol
Thanks will give that a try.
slide show? of what? pictures of you eating grass like a cow?
Yes sir.
Heyo! Iβm new to Discord and maybe a little out of the age demographic (36). Iβm trying to find a good place for friendly and effective advice on using stepper motors and/or servos with HA and ESPHome. Am I in the right place? Or is there somewhere else I should go? I donβt want to have to post myself eating grass to get my YAML right.
I would suggest either #diy-archived here or the ESPHome discord, depending on how ESPHome-focused your question is
Is 36 too old, or too young? π
yea there is no age range with this stuff lol
I guess a lot of things will be 3+ due to small parts
π
I guess 36 would be too old for raccoons. So we need to hide Michelle

Look, I showed up here as a lifelong early adopter (have credentials, just ask), but noticed the service and community might not be exactly what I expected/hoped when all I saw was a thread culminating in a little guy I am ten years too old to hang with eating grass like a cow. I donβt think itβs unreasonable to test the waters with an intro like that swirled with my inexperience with Discord in general.
this is #the-water-cooler, Probably would be better named #shitpost-central π
The other channels are very on topic and professional
I thought you are 50 π

@clear ferry is 36 with a 50 year old body
Someone definitely misses the point of a 'lounge' channel... now I know you've asked us to but I really don't want to call you stupid... π
That's quite generous of her. I would've had you down as a centenarian.

So it turns out Aqara sensors don't like being put through the washing
and dryer
I ruined a good pair of sports headphones the same way. at least it gave me an excuse to get a newer pair.
Wired stuff usually comes out okay. Bluetooth stuff, not so much.
It still lights up and looks like it's pairing
So I think the Zigbee component is still okay
But there's no messages being transmitted
I wouldn't trust it anyways
How often do you do this?
Only a few times π
It's usually that I've put headphones in my shorts pocket at the end of a run, then forgotten to take them out before stuff goes in the wash.
I've got Aftershokz now, so they'd be pretty noticeable if they were left in a pocket. The band is quite rigid.
You want to lose that 15kg, go for a run π
Well, more than one. But just one today.

That's not fat it's Norwegian insulation
Not only did it die, it got hurt the whole time it was dying.
Pretty good advert though, reporting 100% humidity whilst be in a washing machine muat be accurate

It would have been funny if the sensor went to 0% humidity
I understand some people need to compensate by buying a Porsche, for different reasons
But why would anyone buy a white one
If you are already spending that much money
Jesus
Because everyone loves it when a white car gets a spot of dust on it, right? π
They need an excuse to drive out and wash it I guess
Any excuse to leave a loveless marriage for three hours

I have completed my upgrade from a Raspberry Pi 3 with SD card, to A Pi 4 running on an SSD, and I am loving the speed improvements. But I now have a Raspberry Pi 3 without a use. So, those of you who have done a similar migration (or those with an opinion anyway), what did you do with your Pi 3 once it was redundant for HA? I am looking for ideas, ideally related to home automation.
I'm using mine as a paperweight but I know @clear ferry uses a cluster of Pis for mission critical stuff.
Ooh! A cluster of Pi's sounds interesting, and a headache of nightmare proportions! But I only have the one Pi3. I have some even earlier Pi's with cameras that were given to me. I will probably use them as cameras if I can find the time to set them up. I really feel it will be a shame to consign me trusty Pi3 to dust gathering duties though.
I only use mine for running monitor, since it's small enough to be unobtrusive in the living room. Everything else runs on an NUC in my study.
They're nice toys for people learning computing and they're okay as an entry-level computer if you can't afford better... but they're underpowered compared to just about anything else.
My entire PI4 ssd installation is attached to the back of my bookshelf, attached by velcro strips. Completely out of sight and silent, but not difficult to get to should I need physical access.
Great for primary school computer classes
Teaching third graders to code
Other then that, occasional toys for not critical projects
I'd love a NUC to run HA on, but a certain worldwide event has put me out of work for a year so that is just a pipe dream for now.
are uml diagrams on HA website copyright free?
Fortunately, nothing critical is solely on my Home Assistant setup. I made sure that everything is still easily operable if HA goes down. Which it started to do on the pi3, hence the (minor) upgrade.
I think everything related to HA is 'copyright free'. I forget which license it's all under but you can basically do what you want.

I also have a couple of old PCs lying around, but the fans are loud enough to be annoying and the power consumption when running 24/7 is horrendous. A NUC type computer would be nice, but the Pi ticked the low cost/low power consumption boxes for me with my current budget being practically nil. Those PCs will be donated to a local school if they want them, otherwise they will go on Freecycle of some such, since they have no reasonable monetary value.
I have a pi running OpenMediaVault, one as a backup for HAss, one running OpenZWave docker, and two as remote sensors for kismet. Endless possibilities.
But alas, I donβt have @deft pewter or @clear ferry money
5 Pis? And you don't have the money for one NUC?
Oh, I have a NUC also π
I paid 160GBP for an NUC, has more power than 5 Pis combined.
These 'Pi clusters' are a dumb waste of money.
They were what I used to start with....also have an ODroid. Once I got into HAss, I realized a NUC was better and just started putting the Pis to use
I used to record cameras to USBs on my router till DD-WRT started wanking off to smb, then I just installed OpenMediaVault on a pi
Yes, all mine are 3b and less. I got a used i7 desktop off sleezebay for less than a pi4
buy it and send it to me
senpai
I also have multiple pis running in my home, no shame to show them beasts off
50β¬ is a bit less than 100β¬ though
Pis are cheaper, sure... but they're also less powerful. By the time you have enough Pis to perform the same stuff as an NUC, you've already spent more money.
First time I heard bout this. 12.8 Tb/s Is impressive.
Would ask for an upgrade, but it's a new toy already, and probably the boss would say to expensive π€£
that is true yes, if you search you can get a lot of cheap mini pcs but pi has a huge community and arm is generally less power hungry IMO
But you learnd a lot bout clustering π€· worth something
Meh. Not an important skill π€·ββοΈ
If I'm going to make scalable apps, I'll do that in the cloud.
β¬
If you're not running a datacenter, why do you need to learn how to glue servers together?
The future is cloud native... I'll let someone else worry about making the hardware work.
Future should be use what works
Sometimes that's on prem, sometimes that's cloud, sometimes that's both
So not Pi clusters? Gotcha.
maybe not for your line of work code monkey π
but yea, that would be me then xD
Those work... for very very small values of work
Even as a code monkey, I've learned a surprising amount about DevOps and infrastructure π€·ββοΈ
I just don't give a damn about the physical aspects of servers.
And mostly IMO folks shouldn't - unless it matters to their job

redundant systems is getting more important, doesn't matter if you're into connecting servers or services and pi's are a lot cheaper than multiple NUCs
95% of the time nobody has to care about the hardware layer. That remaining 5% of the time though is a doozy
Redundancy is fine... but cloud native lends itself well to that too. Easy to spin up load-balanced instances with failover.
If your system can't handle something like that, you're doing IT wrong
(or you're at home)
I don't think we have anything complex enough to care about that. Our newer stuff is AWS Lambda, so there's no VM to terminate.
Same principle though - it should handle stuff falling over
Indeed. I just don't get to play with chaosmonkey π’
Hell, I know folks who chose to run their services on GCP's preemptible stuff, because it's cheaper, and forces them to build it robustly
They know that at some point a node will go kaboom
MQTT server & DNS server. Hell, you can take a bunch of rPi3s and make them into a MQTT cluster. Well, that's what I do anyhow. They're also great for LightshowPi controllers during the holidays.
A media server was my first thought, but I have a NAS which already serves that purpose well enough.
We're putting a lot of our services into Lambdas running behind API gateway with redundant subnets in region based VPCs. Super fun... ish.
Yeah, API GW + Lambda is fun. We've just released a service that uses that for the client-side API and then Step Functions for the back-end processing.
Ooohhhh... I like! We use Shopify (grumble SCREW Shopify) for our public e-commerce, but we suck in all their data into our own systems. I just spent all week writing lambdas that gen graphql queries to get pretty much everything out of Shopify and stuff it into S3 buckets. Then, API GW calls other lambdas to parse and return relevant portions to internal apps.
I think I must have written at least 12-15 lambdas this week.
If you're using masses of data in S3, have you come across this? I haven't found a use case for it with our work but it looks handy. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/s3-glacier-select-sql-reference-select.html
Overview of the SELECT SQL command supported by Amazon S3 Select and S3 Glacier Select.
With Amazon S3 Select, you can use simple structured query language (SQL) statements to filter the contents of Amazon S3 objects and retrieve just the subset of data that you need. By using Amazon S3 Select to filter this data, you can reduce the amount of data that Amazon S3 transfers, which reduces the cost and latency to retrieve this data.
ASSS... yeah, I've been slowly incorporating that into the select lambdas.
Personally, it was the acronym that first got me interested... because... ASSS... I mean, come on Amazon... LOL
I think that's why they call it S3 π
It's interesting to see all the extra layers they're adding on top of S3 though. S3 Select is clever.
Yeah, THEY can call it whatever they want... Me? ASSS all day, everyday. LMAO
It's already old, guessing slingshot 400 is coming this year
What domain registrar are you using and why? I am still with Eurodns. I don't have any hosting, just DNS, nothing else.
I'd like to setup letsencrypt as well. Did any of you switch to one of the supported dns providers or is there another way to setup letsencrypt as well without using http?
I moved to cloudflare last year
Perfect to integrate with SWAG
Just need to migrate my dynamic DNS from dydns to cloudflare, just haven't bothered yet since I've used dyndns for 20 years
dyndns or even localdns works fine as well with me. Currently i have setup HA with just a hostname and VPN for my home subnet autimatiscally enabling when I leave my wifi. In this way HA is always reachable.
I migh even leave it like that because it just works, but am looking if there are better registrars than eurodns.
Route 53 π₯
I should look into that
Trying to find internal billing for both azure and aws
So I can go wild and play with stuff
But damn that is hard with a cost focused organization right now
The manager three levels above me basically said anything above β¬50k please send me a heads up first
So that should give me some freedom
50k is pretty generous. You'd have to be running production scale stuff to spend that.
so, half his basement?
for 50k you can spin up a lot of resources π
You mean two of my switches
Except we're not talking about equipment costs, only AWS usage costs.
I hate EB. It's dumb. Just go full Lambda.
Sure. Or use the API if you prefer.
What is your goal in using route53?
To get to La Crosse.
I own a domain which i use for email. Currently hosted by google google apps standard (early adopter so still free for my domain). No website currently. And I use home assistant obviously. Was also looking into optiong using a subdomain with my domain to resolve home assistant with SSL.
as mentioned earlier. I currently use eurodns as a registrar hosting my DNS records. Not unsatisfied, but looking of it would be worthwhile changing my registrar.
If they let you manage all your records, there's not really an incentive to move. I have mine in AWS because I have everything else in AWS.
Hi
I use Route53 for DNS, been rock solid and supports everything I need for LetsEncrypt (DNS-01 verification) and Dynamic DNS if I needed it
hosting my DNS record
Hopefully you're already aware but you can have multiple records per domain.
Oh, and the cost of Route53 is peanuts 
Did you get the warning that the lambda for that DDNS stack you suggested is using a deprecated version of Python?
@deft pewter, should be plural of course π
I don't need DDNS π
I think we have until June/July to update.
I get a static IP - IPv4 and IPv6

Thereβs a container alternative

Is it better to use one monitor arm with space for 2-3 monitors or 3 separate? Im thinking 30β+ monitors
I don't think I'd want all that weight through a single point in my desk. 3 arms.
We dipped a bit last month, only 58%
I think the Netherlands was the next behind us
8% or something
Any ebay arms that is useable for around 30 inches? I have a high quality one for the main monitor, but it makes the monitor tip down, but it was accepted as warranty. Was thinking to have my 24 inch dell and 27 inch as side screens.
I already shared the one I use. I'm happy with it.
You're going to give yourself neck problems if you use so many screens. I gave up with side monitors as soon as I went ultrawide - there's already too much head turning.
An ultrawide plus a portrait side monitor works well, but only up to a certain size
My triple arm does 3x28"
That will suffice me for the next 5 years
Currently I have 2x28 and 1x24
3 are probably easier to setup too I guess

I wasted about 6 hours trying to get NUT to work. And I am still convinced it is user error :/
I find it surprisingly confusing
It is bloody awful tbh
Work setup is an opnsense, windows machine 1, windows machine 2
NUT was a non trivial thing to set up when I first did it many years ago. Sounds like it hasn't got any better 
My setup at home will be an opnsense, windows machine and a truenas
I got ups to talk to opn via usb. Can't get winnut to talk to opnsense
Tried apcupsd with usb to 1 windows machine, other windows machine talks to it now.
I want opn as nut server and rest as slaves
Read all sorts of hokus pokus solutions, so sounds like I will end up wasting another 6 or so hours
Yes

Well, its basicaly 2/4cl of spirit filled up eith 14 cl of mixing baverage
That was my next guess
I thourght a longdrink was international thing
Not working behind a bar anymore, dont have to know π€£
We call them talls. One shot, double the mixer
the knowledge might get handy in the future. Who knows if I want to get wasted in the US
Well, I rarely hear anyone order a tall/long in a bar. If you are going to get faced, you just let the bartender do their thing π. And tip them well.
π€£ I did this a couple of times. most of the times, they did not made it back
Not all 'long drinks' are just a single shot and mixer. They're just drinks served in a tall glass and something you'd sip on rather than chug.
Auh.....well....there isnβt much I chug these days unless some show off starts running his mouth π€£. Then I might have to slap him around a bit. Pretty sure I can still keep up, even with the youngβn. These days I prefer my recliner, television, and water though
@deft pewter , Wikipedia disagrees with you π€£
Dear Enemy,
I hereby invite you to my party.
There will be drinks
@hearty depot
The guy would get some extra tip from me π€£
i would drink anything he makes π

This is peak comedy
'Comedy'
humor is subjective
Nah, you just have poor taste π
looks like Mr. Piffles
Is that from puff the magic dragon?
My profile picture isn't an attempt at humour. It's just a picture I liked π€·ββοΈ
I think it's very cute :)
Anyway... the pinnacle of humour is Monty Python and anyone that disagrees is a filthy heathen.
I haven't actually seen Monty Python
It's on my watch list
Scott Pilgrim vs the World is one of my favorites though, and I've heard they appeal to similar audiences.
Segway here, but where do you guys get ideas for HA? I find myself going through the subreddit quite often, but most of the posts there are support ones.
Ideas? What are they? π€
Why are we here?
I do stuff when a need arises, not because someone else did something 'cool' that I feel a need to copy.
But... I see some interesting ideas in the channels here. Just eavesdrop.
I'm just bored a lot of the time and want to code more stuff.
Do some real coding then π
I was thinking of making a custom-component that allows you to customize the default more-info popup. Using browser_mod but it's easier to configure, and looks good by default
Idk if anyone is actually interested in that, though
Apparently at least one person is. There's no reason not to make it if you'd enjoy it. If other people use it, that's a bonus.
:)
welcome to the state of HTML when I was in college. The only thing missing is the "under construction" image
Just opened this on my apple watch, can confirm it works perfectly π
Now try a Tamagotchi
Opinion time. Are people who push their social plans forward to catch up with friends just before a snap lockdown comes into effect assholes?
@hushed basalt not sure I understand the question
Is the snap lockdown somehow foreseen?
As in we had a snap lockdown on Friday
Announced Friday afternoon and coming into effect at midnight
So some people pushed their social weekend catch-ups forward to that evening
Seems to defeat the purpose of the lockdown
I will let you know!
π
I know, I know
It's hit and miss
And visitor's counter is also missing
lol
Yes
But I also hate overly social people who can't go without meeting people
@hearty depot have I not shown you http://www.arngren.net ?
My circles usually reduced our stuff before we were forced to D:
Exactly
My one friend I still talk to from school
Told me that thereβs a get-together for the 5 year anniversary of our graduation
And all we said about was roughly:
Are you going?
Only if you go
Yea, letβs meet up somewhere else at the same time
Definite yes. The whole point of the lockdown is to prevent contact, so people rushing to see each other, even if it's 'allowed', are just causing further spread.
Yeah. The grace period is to help people get into place etc
It's one of the biggest things that piss me off about the UK's handling. Every time we've announced a travel ban for a particular country, we've given something like 5 days notice. That's 5 days for people to continue moving between countries and continue spreading it... π€¦ββοΈ
Not a fire sale for social
Zero notice, then handle repatriation safely.
I was planning on going back to the gym now they're open again. Then I found out my membership expired during lockdown, so I have to wait for office hours to sign up again... guess that'll be a while π
We had so many people travelling for fun last year and then whining that their vacations had been ruined. They knew what was going on.
Yeah, but herd mentality
I remember somebody commenting once that the IQ of a group is the same as the lowest IQ in the group. I think that's a little harsh, but not that wrong...
It's really sucked that we've had to put our lives on hold for this but me and the wife just laugh at those idiots. They were going to Spain when they knew Spain had it bad, then crying when things closed. π
Yup, I know many folks who went on holidays and got stuck
I'm sure it's going to be so much better this time around π
Pretty much all our cases are from people going overseas for holidays and coming back
I'd have bee quite happy to be "stuck" on holiday. I can work anywhere and always take my laptop π
Technically, every case is. But most countries didn't close their borders when this started.
Should have gone hard and early on the boarders !
You and NZ have done pretty well with it. Then there's the UK, a landlocked nation, that didn't even try stopping travel.
Sure we did, in the same way a sieve stops water
Yeah. We've only recently limited travel. It's dumb - the first thing you do is close borders and run contract tracing.
Esp for an island where its easier than most
Remember when the UK announced their 5-step plan and step five was contact tracing? Like what the actual fuck?
We've all seen enough disaster movies to know contact tracing is your first step π€¦ββοΈ
Heh. So apparently the chip shortage is so bad you can't get chips to make chip making machines... https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/Chip-tools-become-latest-victim-of-global-semiconductor-crunch

Could be worse. Apple recently ripped 32bit app support out of OSX... updating will permanently prevent you from running some software.
Sucks to be you if you're using older, perpetually licensed, Adobe products...
This is a long shot... but is anyone hiring UK-based NodeJS developers on permanent remote contracts? π
I just changed my LinkedIn profile back to 'open to work' and waiting for the recruiters to start rolling into my inbox.
FYI, the channel you were looking for is conveniently named #android-archived
I asked my friend, no promises though
Just got back from grocery shopping and had a LinkedIn notification. It took 30 minutes from turning on the 'open to work' stuff and having my first message from a recruiter about a fully-remote job using my current tech stack π€―
The downside... sounds like they're hiring for a FANG company. I have neither the brains nor the energy for their recruitment processes π
Pheeew, 14 hour day so far
~1 for today
The orange cables look very untidy
Joking, it looks great
@deft pewter no help from my friend, sorry
What's up with steam lately? It's been a couple of years since I had it installed last; but now it's been running for, like, a week and haven't required an update yet.
I'm seriously starting to wonder if that is the case.
Just opened Steam, instantly prompted to update π
there's new season started on CoD so cold war is free until thursday, been playing that again, pretty much skipped the whole season 2, a bit boring to be playing alone

its an option..
Cost effective too.

the obligatory child support fee is so much less than the actual costs of operating that kiddo
Speaking of free trials of games... a certain nautical themed site just provided me with a copy of Dyson Sphere Program. Let's see if I can figure out how this even works.
looks like a game i've been playing in many formats in the past
the basic collect resources, ship them around, build something, develop factories and facilities, expand, etc
good thing is i don't have a machine right now to play anything (thought i was thinking of getting windows box for steam and fsx, want to fly..)
cool, tv is off, didn't need to disconnect it from the network, might try some more gaming after many weeks of silence
im sorry. it must be painful hating yourself that much.
He's from the inferior console race.
yes, its for simple people, don't fancy to play on a supervised envs π
don't want to put too much in into gaming stuff, have two consoles already and barely play with one atmo
Even with the chip shortage, miners and scalpers?
Now that I have an ultrawide, I'm thinking I need a better GPU... can't find one π
prebuild, that's like a pc-console? π
i like my playstation. ghost of tsushima was amazing
it was my first console I got since the original xbox
i really don't care on what others play, or do their work, or surf their internets, all platforms work. Obviously pc beats any console with the power and graphics. I was previously on Xbox but hopped to PS as i got a used one from a ex-colleague, can't say if neither is better or worse in comparison. I actually started to want an old console to get the max payne into it, watched yesterday the movie, can't really remember the game series at all
Bullet time. Noice.
i also noticed when googling around an artist i've worked with for years has made the music to first and second, he is really an artist when it comes to person and personality, he is heh, weird dude π
also the looks, would you agree? π
Why is @clear ferry wearing a wig in that photo?

No need, we have you guys here all the time trying to micromanage us
If I just had hair
Fun fact for you guys, the servers just idling when I powered them up was enough to make the door hot to the touch
And stiff ethernet cables were easily bent after a few minutes
well that's good. we wouldn't want you slipping back into the dark ages
I should get back to try to learn more blues licks
I had a very intensive Joe Bonamassa period
But I didn't have time to sit down with the guitar
You mean soft rock?
According to some
Yes
Hopefully when my daughter is old enough to sit still for 3 minutes, we can play together
But by then I probably have crotch goblin #2
They say blues is all patterns and blues-fives and stuff, but I never got it. It's all eargasmic magic to me.
Aye, the theory is easy enough
The feeling is more magic
I'm convinced people who are masters at blues are on some spectrum that can smell notes
Jazz on the other hand has never much interested me, unless it is Avant-garde
Or softrock as some say @deft pewter
I had a roommate who's a great blues pianist. I won't say you're wrong.
Jazz is very very broad.
I knew a drummer who could play anything, but if someone asked him for a jazz session
He noped out of there
This is probably the closest to jazz that I enjoy, it is a fantastic album if you ever find time
https://open.spotify.com/album/0LqXwbrREllWtu2s1dW2eN?si=MQkYyqt0RyGStgkjoU5xyA&utm_source=copy-link
GIFs you can hear
I'm more into the traditional swing jazz. Lindy-hop and all that.
Damn swedes
ya know...i have a theory about that
remember how trump put in place those tariffs with china
and blocking SMIC from using american IP's for chips?
i bet ya money thats why there is a chip shortage
took out one of the fabs that probably made alot of cards
probably stole alot of designs in the process, but we just put all of our collective eggs in one basket.
which idk. im torn about
while on one hand Eff the CCP
sec lemme grab my tin foil hat
on the other....muh graphics
Lol caring about consumer stuff π€£
Come to the dark side, we have Itanium and Teslas plenty
for now
the server stuff is fun for sure
norway is kind of a ticking time bomb

gamers nexus shows pretty in-depth why consumer grade stuff dominates the videogame scene
they just perform better than the server stuff.
server stuff wasnt made for vidyagamez
meh
i just know the intel expansion cant happen soon enough
will be nice to see some "Made in USA" intel cpus
π
then we can start complaining about how mexico does them better π xD
fair take
idk
kinda have to have a matrix complex to be fair
which propaganda do you trust?
US or CCP?
or russia?
shrugs
still makes me wonder
when things will get back to normal stock with cpu/gpus
/endrant you can take off your tin foil hats now @forest edge
Probably 2025, after covid22 and the American civil war part deux

Only on the new one, or is the feature ported backward?
Noice
and it worked nice
hopefully, but hope the next one support trueHD audio
But it can really help on calibration of image as you put your phone towards the screen and it uses the camera for calibration
I dunno if appletv have DTS license
I juse use infuse for 4k movies. much better codec support
DTS has always sounded better to me tbh
I cant really hear difference. Got Atmos setup
but I just want truehd as much is ripped in true and appletv need to transcode with the plex client
It's a shame SACD never was bigger

I am trying to integrate everything so will be posting in that channel, but wanted to drop by and say whats up
I will make a guide.
But basically you a make a port forward on 3493 to 127.0.0.1 (so that all nut requests go the nut plugin) and just bang in the ip and port in the clients.

pretty sure NBA will go to Disney leaving Netflix and Amazon to duke it out for NFL
i'm not sure if netflix would be interested
amazon alreday has some nfl deal dont they?
i think they have a couple of games
if they are smart they will try to do something similar
super easy way to get subscribers

I actually know one guy who cares, but it is because he stayed in Texas a year and plays American football on a EU level
EU level is slightly higher than US level, right?

I'd like to DM this person to ask if they've got any more of those boards left, but I can't work out how.
That doesn't show up for me. Maybe because my user doesn't have a high enough trust level? I don't tend to post there much.
Maybe. Iβve seen other folks with the same confusion
no matter, I'll just tag them in that thread. Thanks for the help.
I love it when SaaSs and Apps have improvement suggestions boards for users to post bugs/features they'd like etc
And the company never actually does any of it, so they have these 6+ year old tickets with "we will see how this fits into our roadmap",
And eventually they solve it by just removing all the date fields from the messages
I've recently come across a 7 year old jira ticket. That I'd like to be implemented :/
It's even more a spit in the eye when they churn through bullshit features no one asked for or wants or can use

from scratch
now to figure out how easy it is to migrate from the cc1352-p2
apparently no changes needed I think π€
There's a backup/migration tool pinned in #zigbee-archived
after getting the tool downloaded its really straight-forward
on todo-list to make that backup and maybe should test the slaesh stick as well
Is Kajaani far from you @lapis cipher ?
6,5 hours of drive

might be other location offered better bribes and liquors π
Why would one flash a zzh?
its empty on arrival?

actually not empty but with a fw that blinks the led i recall?
