If you use tab groups apparently that does some magic, but I use Auto Tab Discard now for that
I just wish discord will release a proper cli client at some point 
I liked the one I tried
the latency difference between ipv4 and ipv6 is actually significant
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 19021ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.660/4.352/4.745/0.261 ms
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 19019ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 4.787/5.424/5.776/0.184 ms
v6 top, v4 bottom
Of course ipv6 eill be slower
4 is bigger than 6

Ipv1 answers the request before you request it
Interesting... I just tested and I get 1ms faster on IPv6 to the same (nominal) host
yes
This was just to a norwegian site
let me try INTERNATIONAL
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 19019ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 145.505/145.698/146.299/0.201 ms
21 packets transmitted, 20 received, 4.7619% packet loss, time 20071ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 138.028/138.487/138.991/0.307 ms
again ipv6 top, ipv4 bottom
so that is slower actually
but packetloss on ipv4
😄
If only I could get Windows to reliably get an IPv6 address 🤣
ISP does IPv6, every non Windows machine gets an IPv6 address. Windows ... maybe, but probably not
I think I will give router an ipv6 address and just do ipv4 locally and add ipv6 when I have wraapped my head around it
I've had IPv6 at home on and off for ... a decade or so. Initially I used a tunnel broker for it, but now I have an ISP that does it natively
i have a vpn site which runs on v6, how would i go to run my own broker on it to get v6 on my site?
annoying that android doesn't support dhcpv6
which is the only thing my isp supports
hi guys i used to run deepstack in portainer.io with the plugin from HA and it was running fine, but now deepstack's log give me ERROR | 500 | . I have tried to reinstall a newer version of deepstack, but without success. Does someone have had the same issue?
@wooden gust Please DO NOT cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond.
If you don't get any responses after an hour or more, and your message is no longer on screen, it is fine to re-post or post a link to it.
I remember I had to do some tricks with ipv6 on windows in 2001
@last cedar I saw this and immediately thought of you xD
Heh, weird. What version of Windows? XP, Vista, 7, and 8 support IPv6, but only get addresses via DHCP6. Windows 10 added support for RA.
Android is the one I have the most trouble with, because Google STILL hasn't implemented DHCP6 support...
I eventually set up hybrid DHCP6 + RA so Android devices would pick up v6 addresses at all, but they're literally the ONLY thing that needs RA on my network
Wåw
I need to get one, thank you!!!
Half my DM's went wonky and I couldn't post in some channels 😄
Damn, not good. Discord hasn't had a great track record of stability
But they do fix it jolly quick when it does go bad
At least so far :)
inb4 atx makes some 3rd world comment
door to door sales pitches should be flat out illegal everywhere.
you can and they are suppose to follow it but in general it should be illegal without needing one
lol screw this https://youtu.be/NLoQ-_GPxTs
Some Londoners had a pool party in the sky, but would you go for a dip? Residents of one development were spotted going for a swim in a see-through pool suspended between two high rise apartment buildings. Reports say it’s the largest acrylic pool structure in the world. It was made in the U.S. and then transported across the pond so the residen...
That's gonna be a no from me dawg
Hello, I am new to DeepStack. Just get it worked couple days ago. Quick questions.
- Does anyone try to teach them to recognise the face?. Via command and submit to Deepstack instance?
- What's typical "confidence" number you guy set for person?. 50 or below?
I have a lot of deepstack confirms in the 40s. Not really below that. Depends on how good the perspective of your camera is. I would say start it at 25% and go from there.
Other question, no idea.
@forest edge we have door to door sales people, but I can count on one hand how many come to my door every year
And the ones that do I just say no and close the door
couple a year? anything more than one every couple years is too much
I think I've seen 2 in the last 10 ish years
part of that is probably German regulation
door2door is the same as online. And we get 14day revocation right. So there's no benefit to run over peoople and try to get them to sign anything.
and what do they try and sell?
Yeah, we have either 14 or 30 days revocation right for any sale , 30 for online sales
@forest edge usually broadband
14 is mandated here. But more and more stat to offer 30. Or longer for expensive stuff that's not mainly used for a couple days
broadband? odd
we get local services like tree trimming, lawn mowing, pest control etc
That is how we build out fiber, isps go to every door, if 70% say yes they build fiber
tree services are generally the worse cause it's usually some dude working alone
As such we have 90%+ fiber coverage
People here don't want fiber 🤦♂️
If someone knocked on my door, trying to sell a racoon, I would be all over it
@last cedarjust be patient. there are already illegal raccoons in your country, you just gotta let them mass reproduce
10 ... it works fairly reliably from power on, and on wake it's hit and (mostly) miss
Almost sounds like a NIC driver issue. I'm not seeing that behavior on any of my Windows 10 machines...
Are you using DHCP6, RA, or both?
...I see a raccoon and I think ”Home Assistant” now...
I've got both deployed, and Windows defaults to DHCP6
RA I think, I'll have to check the router 😄
As I said though, it works, just not consistently, which is ... typical Windows really
Linux, FreeBSD, Android, iOS, all of those work just fine 😄
100% consistently works here...
lol, Android had had broken IPv6 support for years. Still broken in 11...
They literally don't support half the spec
Even if you give Android an IPv6 address with RA, there are issues, because RA often tells clients to check DHCP6 for additional options and settings... which Android ignores
if you root your phone, you can install a DHCP6 client and fix it, but Google just doesn't seem to give a single shit
Hmmmm, thank you FritzBox... DHCPv6 is active, but only gives DNS servers. RA is used for IP allocation 🤔 
Need to pin an Android phone to a single address? Sucks to be you...
A lot of enterprise environments basically just tell Android to go fuck itself and force all Android devices to run IPv4
Oh, that's nice. After five days of non-stop simulations my computers memory was all kinds of messed up, so I decided it was time for a reboot before leaving it yesterday.
Apparently that reboot was of the wrong color or something for the new software being installed which had been pestering me for a reboot for the last two days.
You got to love Windows.
Because if you didn't, you'd waste too much time crying.
yea along with other animals. still not as bad as associating HA with raw meat thanks to one person cough @clear ferry
My ISP only does dsl-lite with their proprietary shitbox of a router
and with my own one, I only get v4, and can't get any v6 address at all :/
lol dsl
and Telekom + politics are to blame :/
And now saying it was a full success that they did their dumb super vectoring, because the bandwith was required for WFH
Instead of having fiber to begin with...
🦝 🦝
No idea what you mean

When animals attack humans PART 1 : Raccoon edition - Funny animal compilation
The reports are coming in from all over the world, the raccoons are fed up with our human ways and are attacking us. To be honest, most of these clips are self induced, which i...
I WANT THEM ALL
keep your cat. raccoon and cat wouldn't mix well together anyways
raccons as pets almost always end in horror
one of the few animals here where it's illegal to catch and release a raccoon across county/city lines
But they are phenominally cute 🦝 😻 🦝
Hehe
Nah, I would prefer to go look at them in nature tbh
They seem fun. But also total arseholes
so just like @forest edge
Meanwhile I am here procrastinating over getting a poe switch that pulls 20W instead of 30W, to be green
Fuck sake
Does anyone else get super pissed off and just think, it doesn't matter what I do to try and be green, when people go and let this happen?
Yes
We recycle everything we can. Our waste barely fills half our pretty small waste bin on collection day. Our neighbours just throw in everything regardless of whether it can be recycled or not, and have three fscking bins
when I lived in ireland
asking my flatmates about "how do I recycle this"
chuck it in the bin
"what about the mattress?"
CHUCK IT IN THE BIN
"what about the bottles?
CHUCK IT IN THE BIN
Yeah, it's a bit of effort to recycle glass, since they don't collect it in every area. However, most supermarkets have a glass recycling point, and many larger car-parks do too. So, it's not really much effort at all
don't worry, elon musk has assured us american's will live on in space to continue our species when the planet become uninhabitable
🤣 I should get my instance some love
how long did they have to accumulate?
Ten minutes... 😛
that's more errors than you have devices though
lol @clear ferry I guess you need this
https://vid.pr0gramm.com/2021/05/29/2bfd9b729a513129.mp4
I believe we should all make efforts as individuals to do better... but it's actually a small number of businesses responsible for almost all of the waste/pollution worldwide. It doesn't matter what we do, it's a drop in the ocean compared to big business.
We're all told to commute less and use public transport. That's nothing compared to the CO2 and pollution from some of the megafactories.
for me it looks like alien technology
best individual way to be green is buy products from companies that make an effort to be green
Which is usually more expensive and will lead to a slightly worse standard of living :/
This was a very huge drop in the ocean (I realise I shouldn't be joking about this. But it was kinda good)
Ended up washing my pc
A raccoon has to wash everything it seems
Define R5 for the curious amonxed you
And yes, the floor is that shade of green
And yes that is mold on the wall
looks liek the old old fake grass floor old people got on balconies
Pretty much. Slightly darker
We were not allowed for the bathroom to be redone if it wasn't damaged by damp
So landlord is doing a 200IQ and refusing to come and measure thr dampness
Green floors... lovely.
Can't be damp if it isn't confirmed damp

The walls are pink
Not a great room to trip acid in, I would guess
can you get it renovated if it's damaged by racoons?
Probably not. They would come up with a clause or reason as to not renovate it
Moving in augist though
Half expecting them to try and make us pay for a renovation, we have only been on at them for 2 years to come and measure dampness
Bathroom is from 1973 or 78 afaik
So of course it needs to be in perfect condition when we move
floor certainly looks like it
Someone smashed in my cellar door 12th May
Still waiting for a new door
I fixed it myself and asked for money for time and material and they said no
So glad to be moving!
Did you take photos when you moved in? Whenever we rent anything (homes, cars, whatever), we always get photos at the start and end of the lease so they can't make up claims.
write them a letter. If it's not fixed by 1st of July, you'll reduce the rent you pay by an appropriate amount for the cellar size
so? If you can't use it, don't pay for it
I fixed it myself
I caalled her and said. I will take thr door with me
Put a new one in when we move out
It ended up with 2+1 layers of that stuff, coach bolts and deck screws
Fixed frame in better too
Was so pissed, the door has a magnet for alarm and there is a cameraa inside. Because they didn't actually open door or go long enough in, no footage or alarm
Argh :/
The place I am taking photo from we are not allowed to film
Bonkers Swedish privacy laws
Is the old one just big cardboard? Picture looks like it o.0
It was basicaally just cardboard yes
If the bathroom is in the same building, I'd guess it's hardboard.
Much of the walls probably are too
What is hardboard? o.0
Hardboard is cardboard++
You may know it as Masonite
The door was about as effective as a chocolate fireguard
Yea, that's what wiki suggests
Big surprise. Sounds less sturdy then the stuff we punch through in our training
I want to punch stuff as part of my training but they always report me to HR. 😦
humans arnt stuff mono!
How many doormats in a door
when you got an hour to burn
https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/92/
Story bout The Pirate Bay
Can anyone help? I installed all the parts in my tower, but it won't turn on :(
Never enough doormats
Looks like fractal design
Have you tried installing in 2019
Step 1: short out the power switch header
Step 2. Blame the nearest Norwegian
Step 3. Triple check your riser headers
ATX. It is all your fault
@hushed basalt will that do!
I realised what the problem was btw
You actually need to assemble it. Can't just put the boxes in the box :/
You forget the 'plug' in 'plug and play'
Apparently!
Here, take some soft rock

Nice meme... but have you seen that soda bottles actually make good lights?
It's a good way to bring a lot of light indoors without power.
Yeah, seen those before. Very simple and effective!
lol
Shoes are still on, he survived.
can i use an ipad or tablet with this software, to use as home control, like americans do?
you wouldn't run HA on the tablet, but you can use the tablet as a browser to the HA interface. As Americans do 🙂
Aka display the #frontend-archived in it
Kk, I put the American bit cause us British don't tend to have these things
It's okay. As a fellow Brit, I'll agree that our friends across the pond are a bit strange.
Your username reminds me of Biggles. That takes me back...
No tablets for British people 🤔
No, we've progressed to pills.
We dont get your silly sauces
technically, couldnt you run hass on a tablet?
Errr....no
I think the advice Rob gave is solid.
oh no doubt, but i'm talking as a what if
Exactly....errr...no
I'm sure people have. It's just a dumb idea.
just because you could run it on an android device would not make it a good idea by any means lmao
especially with how android handles background processes
If you did, you wouldn’t run it in Android. You’d install some desktop Linux version
Also, how are you going to install it on a iPad? Apple has the only true tablet.
you install it on an ipad like you install any other piece of software on an ipad
by taking it back to the apple store, getting a refund, and purchasing a tablet that has more going for it than a brand and a pen
So much poor advice from one jacketchan
this isn't advice lmao
all of this is a hypothetical way to make a bad idea barely possible
shelling out the $30 bones to just get an rpi instead is an infinitely better idea in basically every way lol
So is keeping the iPad 😉
it'd be worth it if you weren't forced to use ios
it's a real shame too, ipad has some serious processing power
I mean.....it all just works.
so does a brick, but neither can run java mc
the only issue is that the ipad technically could, it just wont let you
I do 99% of the things I do with tech from an iPad. Worst case scenario I remote into one of my other machines and use it
im surprised they even let you do that
i dont greatly appreciate having to overpay for a device and then not be able to use it
That’s prob mono
tbh if apple just let me use android i probably would buy an iphone and an ipad
Oooh...lokkk
Macs are the only Apple device I'll use and only then because I don't have to pay for it.
Did you just hear me say I don’t really ever need to sit at a laptop or desktop and I can throw my iPad in a backpack and go
then i dont know what you're doing with your computer but it's clearly not enough
then that's fine for you
but i would like more out of my device
i also really dont appreciate them putting on the pro-privacy facade while simultaneously making the find my network even easier to abuse
not really, i got a samsung tablet for $80 with more usefulness than any currently existing ipad
if steve jobs reanimates i'll consider coming back to apple, but until then a unix terminal and pretty brushed metal isn't enough to win my money or my heart
Lol
Does anyone know how to add smart sockets to the software
I have a status smart socket

how to solve this
when ip not appear
Please ... read the channel topics
There's no support in this channel, that's why it's called #the-water-cooler and the channel topic says there's no support
You've got a problem with your install, you should be asking about that in your install method channel
(and now would be a good time to actually read #rules)
It's been like two years since Technology Connections made a video about that toaster. There's got to be a new one on kickstarter by now, right?
i saw that video haha. dude was amazed how the mechanism worked and how dangerous it was cause of it's construction
partially why I refused to ever buy anything that required a hub
Not our first mention in Ars either. Their writers clearly love HA.
it says the ip right there bruh
If they had wandered over to #330990055533576204 then maybe somebody could help them...
help them understand ipv6 and why they should just use it
well if you stay, there might be trouble
And if you go, it could be double...
why do companies and people keep clinging to ipv4 anyway
Bort bort. That's right!
its been like 30 years since its been standardized, at this point if people dont have hardware that supports ipv6 its kind of their fault
wait what
apparently it was only ratified in 2017?
I've played with ipv6 since 2000, I still don't understand all of it, don't expect ISPs managed by 12 year olds to understand it 😄
my isp had difficulty understanding what an unmanaged switch does, so that makes sense
yeah, basically
thats why its so irritating that people keep clinging to ipv4
im sick of having to deal with NATs and port forwarding and ipv4 proxies
let me repeat, "basically"
theres obviously a lot more stuff going on beyond the scenes than just making the base bigger
but for most intents and purposes, the appeal of ipv6 is making the base bigger
more addresses to go around, less port forwarding needing to be done, and death to NAT
same same but different
well probably not death to NAT since people use it as a firewall as well due to horrible network design, but a mighty blow nonetheless
still

I do that every week for customers
they love it

My wallet thinks it is 2018
not enough doormats recently ?
Since we are in a global recession
2018 is better than 2020/2021, right?
eh, 2020\21 has been great for me
Did they send you new servers?
not yet
waiting for a swedish collegue to send me 256GB RAM though
so I can beef up my lab
The 5600X is around 3300 sek. The 5900X is a meaningful upgrade, but a lot more money
So I decided to not go that route
Nice, a 2% upgrade in ram
consumers 
Pssh, I started working on multi TB systems in 2009, EB scale storage in 2010 and 800+ core systems in 2018
what did you expect
😄
I expected a little more love for the poor raccoon who makes a living stealing doormats
You monster
Nah, but it should be a good rig :D
For minecraft, wanted raccoon and iracing
Reusing ssd, gpu, case and psu
Daughter is getting my RAM, and cpu hsf and mobo will make a spare pc for her friends to LAN with. So win win
Kids still LAN?
I hope so
LAN is great
But you are allergic to raspberry pis
Ooh can I put server pics here?
Go for it
Just looked up iRacing since you lot are always going on about it. It's subscription based?! 🤢
Paying once for a game is bad enough. Paying $13 a month is a joke.
Yeah, I think it is cheaper to buy in longer periods. Like 2 years
I am thinking that I need to give it a good try, and see if I want to. When I payed for WoW I literally didn't play anything else, so it was worth it
And how else am I gonna get to drive an Audi R18 around Le Mans? 🤣
I get it for stuff like WoW where there's so much to do. Driving round in circles for hours? Pass 😂
There's no shortage of buy-to-play racing games either.
Mmm, I know I know
Old hp server logo as avatar 
Yes, please. Show us your rack.
The cooling solution ^^
The temperature ^^
you guys want to see my setup again?
Yes pls
my raspberry pis blow your car radio out the cellar
And we can't see what is in the rack :P
Cock
The raccoon thing? No idea what you are talking about 🦝
BRB
Lmao
How good are your doormats?
Eh?
Hey that's my door mat!!!
Not anymore
Driver makes it look like the isle of man TT
In a bus
My messy rack
With printer shelf 2.0
AND YES I AM AWARE I HAVE AN UNHEALTHY SUPERMICRO FETISH
Lol
I am hp and dell
Even my switch is hp
I see you have ups @last cedar
Is it on?
Not in that pic. But it is at the moment :)
I fired up the NUC and parked the printer since that pic.
Added another NUC (my old one, gonna use it as an admin pc I think)
The NUC pulls about 16W, so a very long time
What about the whole rack
Not tried it with more load.
Ah
Rest of rack isn't in prod yet :)
Bottom 4U is Truenas Scale (probably)
The 2U is my furure lab machine. And I have an identical 2U that is my router, currently at work for testing :)
Oh, we had similar in school. Isolator switches for the daangerous machines
I remember being about 13 and opened one (safely, power off etc) to look inside :)
Oooof!
Want a video of the servers?
Thry are not meant for start stop iirc
You can do if you like!
I guess that I will have about 90 mins on UPS when loaded by the way
Only about 120 to 150W of load estimated
Compared to me with about 750watts
Oooof! Your poor wallet
@last cedar
That ups at the bottom does the networking side of the rack and will last about 2hrs with it all, and about 24hrs with just the router
The dell ups lasts about 260minutes with all servers at about 750 watts
That is a lot of toys 😻
LIES
I may end up with a battery pack for my UPS if when we move we have a lot of long power cuts. Will be a bit in the forest
But they are expensive for SMT units
5600x aint bad
atx just a hater yo
just watched the video. why so many decommissioned servers still left in the rack? clean yo shit out mang @lucid bison
also that dell T310 looks so out of place 😛
Ik, that's my mates
The 3 drive arrays just need drives
gotcha gotcha
wtf was that
Looks like pretty typical public transport in the States to me.
A raccoon stealing a doormat
Me stealing bingles doormat, more specifically
Oh!
The bus
No idea
That was your getaway vee-hickle.
trash panda's got each other's backs
Lmao
@last cedar had a get away vehicle....still walked home. #walkofShame
i like you have an extra rack for minecraft servers and discord bots
its insane how fast you can go with just Docsis... a few years ago the fastest we were able to have was 80 Mbit
I gotta show my speed then
Aha yeah
@tame sand sweet avatar
DOCSIS is great. We're on it here. I'm not paying for the top package but I could probably get those speeds.
I hear you like raccoon avatars here.
Virgin Media tops out at 1096 - 1139 Mbps if you're in the right area, which is awesome, until you note the 52 Mbps upload speed...
FTTP gets you twice the upload for that download...
52Mbps up isn't terrible for most home users. I guess they'll up it at some point.
I could probably get 1Gbps down with VM, just didn't want to pay that 😄
oh? and which part of the states would that be at?
The crazy bit where you have to escape from shooters.
I hope that narrows it down okay for you.
Everything South of the Arctic Circle then
I think I know what you may be thinking of.. snake pliskans escape from great britain
big trouble in little china was a good movie
Is Bootstrap even that popular now? I see Tailwind mentioned more often now.
i mean, i'm always button 2 because i'm too lazy to even look up another framework
i remember rocking the 10mbps plan from comcast way back when.
honestly it wasnt that bad
i could get gigabit right now...but i cant really justify the cost
xD
i have the option between a bamboo pipe with marbles in it and docsis
and the marbles will only do 50 Mbit
👌
Nice, a picture of a screen instead of a screenshot
bingles getting that sweet sweet ad revenue from ali express
your using optic fiber right? which speeds?
500/500 but 1000/1000 available since 2017
insane how you got fibre in norway somewhere in nowhere, and me, directly next to one of the biggest cities in central europe, naaahh enjoy that copper
Windows server 🤢
The 64 gb ram is at constant 96%
Yes
Windows server 2019 fully licensed
Due to college
how?? 😂
😁
Atleast it is only a 13 year old cpu
Mc
That's ram
Also bungeecord
Multiple servera
Hub, creative, survival, uhc, kitpvp, skyblock
With 7% load it is very lonely though
Yes
you could do some folding
Yes, but 370 quid for 12cores 64gb ram and 24tb storage
That isn't half bad for UK price tbh
That is expensive for outdated hardware, the drives almost make it worth it
fast tho
Not really
remember all it does is mc, so i need single thread, not multi
is that a cpu?
got an amazon link ?
No
Layer 8
theres only 4 things in my rack running linux, the router (pfsense) rdp (guacamole) homeassistant, and a mc server i host for someone, but they manage that not me
Pfsense doesn't run Linux
No
It's BSD
a bsd?
really?
Bonkers Senile Dingleberries you say
ClosedBSD
ExpensiveBSD
I think the Netgate guys get tired of people saying "but it's available in Linux!"
definitely once Wireguard made it into the Linux kernel
I briefly considered moving to OPNSense, but everything is working great in pfSense and I have no compelling reason to screw up my net access and lose a weekend moving over
I migrated with 10 minutes downtime
it kinda imports pfSense backups, but kinda not
Created a opnsense VM, configured it to be equal to my pfsense setup
Reinstalled the box, restored the backup from the vm
I started to do that and the VM started getting in the way as far as creating network interfaces and such
I still have it and may try again at some point. but that was exactly the strategy I was pursuing
^ norwat highways?
yes
@forest edge norway has no snipers
Why do so many Chinese manufacturers on Amazon use all caps brand names?

A couple of the scenes starring Dwier Brown from the film "Mom and Dad Save the World"
VM over taking rpi4 on analytics is blaspheme!!
rpi3+rpi4 is still on top of all 😉
should tally up continent totals for installations
Ew RPI
what does an rpi4 cost in the down under? 2k?
Probably
I have a rpi active as my ZigBee gateway and I hate it
But I couldn't get usb passthrough working in proxmox
Buy one of Tube's network connected gateways, have it shipped half way around the planet, and relax in the knowledge that you spent more on shipping and customs than you paid for the product...
Tube?
He's got no parts right now, something about a fake news global chip shortage... 
But, he's pretty active here in the #zigbee-archived channel, so the odds are when he gets more stock he'll let people know
he's located here in the states so gl lol
While I am not about talking up the Norwegian Armed Forces apparently the sniper (kystjeger-skarpskytter)requirements are the ability to hit a soccer ball at 800 meters and any target at 1500 metres with the precision of 75 centimetres +/-.
Can't say whether that's equivalent, weird or not but hopefully somebody will be along for more informed trashtalk later
Yeah all the Elite branches are various shades of hunter
Fallskjermjeger
Literally parachute hunter
Airborne Special Forces to be less whimsical
Marines don't want to be called Bleeborp
they setup 55 gallon drum lids ....i dont know the size
Superior!
Marines are pussies 😂
Almost every other special force in the world is superior, yet marines act like they're the world's toughest mofo's.
Private pyle!
I forgot how much of a pain windows installs are
so If I say it like this, I have about 8 valid windows 10 pro keys, no funny business, all legal
Couldn't use the one my old desktop PC used because amd from Intel, I guess (worked fine when houseguest went from intel to amd, but I digress)
Tried another key I had in a VM about 3 years ago, no dice.
Tried a key that was for windows 7 pro and it works first time
all retail keys
very very annoying, at least it works now
I have a legit key for my PC. I got so fed up with their broken DRM that I used a crack instead.
Change one component = you're using this license on another computer 😠
I can appreciate trying to protect your sales. Some businesses take it way too far where it's so difficult to be a paying customer that they're actually the ones pushing people to piracy.
or in my case away
If they took 30 euro for a key instead of 230 euro, I think people would be less likely to pirate stuff
I sympathise Mono, my experience to this point has been better than that though, I did a major hardware swap now so that I can get
but what happened to call up to reactivate licence? retail licenses should be able to be reused afaik
it is treating mine like an oem
and a possible oem one like a retail one
230 for an OS? holy
whenever I get a new PC the first thing I do is to stip away this expensive crap 🤣
2300 sek for a windows 10 pro licence, it tried to sell me
like
I already have some????!!!!!
I got a good deal from windows XP to 8 license
and then 8 became 10
so a few bought over 15 years ago should still be working 10 keys
but apparently not
I might be mixing up my keys, in which case, I may well be wrong, but I don't think I am
Win 10 licenses are pretty cheap, even for Pro. I honestly don't mind the cost, it's the license management that pisses me off.
Looks like around £100 officially, around £10 on the grey market 😂
Aha, must be inflated microsoft store prices then
100 quid is still quite an investment IMO
actually
I probably paid something like that when I got my old XP ones?
Compared to Linux, sure. Compared to the cost of macOS... it's tiny 😂
Buy $2000 laptop, get free OS!
well, os upgrades where like 30€ when I remember right
at least to the time where I owed this overprised crap
They did free upgrades from 8 to 10 for a while to encourage people to move.
I get licences for all sorts of things with college, inglufing sql 2019 and £100 azure credit
£100? Noice. That'll be gone in a week 😄
Good. Use AWS 😉
Don't use any cloud
I heard google has decent forever-free vps
I think the same is also on AWS
I thought Linode and DigitalOcean were still king for free/cheap VPS?
I guess its a flavur - colluage hosting bitwarden on one of them
AWS wouldn't be my first choice if all I wanted was VPS. I stick with AWS because it does everything.
got one of the underpowerd 3,50$ ones for irc bridge and discord bot
Websites: self host
Minecraft: self host
AD: self host
Plex: self host
Discord bots:self host
The big cloud providers are so cheap that you should put websites and stuff up there.
I even host for others
nah, I dont trust this at home
Yeah but free is better
Plex should be local, sure. The rest - get that shit up in the cloud.
Free isn't better when you have outages. Let someone else worry about that.
Even mc?
the rest? - Home Assistant in the cloud?.. meh
HA should be local, sure. That wasn't on their list.
3hr ups and rarely any power cuts, haven't had one in about 6-7 years
My bots/blogs/etc are in the cloud. They don't even cost me anything.
HA: self host :)
your blogs? 😄 show
That UPS probably cost more than your cloud bill would've been 🤷♂️
Nope
So... more expensive than your cloud bill would have been...
Why not?
Move the servers to the cloud as well
So then I don't have to portforward every thing
So they're not really bots, they're glorified shell scripts.
And having a server status check that runs inside the network that could go down... 200 IQ move there.
hard to say whats cheaper - 30€/mo for a decent private server or my power usage for crap I spin up at home
Cheap ways to send push messages
Basically, they ping the ip, check if it's online and check how many players
bare minimum
(storage offline)
Then show that on a bot using the status
I'd have a simple app in the cloud that can receive updates, then you'd query the data in the cloud.
I pay £30 per month for my whole rack
With UK electricity prices, I doubt that 🤔
Can spend that just leaving a PC running 24/7.
It's pretty cheap where I live
You live in a part of the UK that doesn't have UK pricing?
What, like American Internet prices 😂
Actually I have a question about that
Why is American Internet so expensive, like £110 per month for like 100mb
Monopolies.
The big providers buy out entire cities and stifle competition. They get to name their price.
That’s the data cap, right? Sounds too cheap to be rate there
Over here £25 per month gets you symetrical gigabit fiber to the home.
Bollocks does it
To me?
Yes, to you. I've yet to see a UK ISP that provides asymmetric gigabit for those prices, let alone symmetric.
for 25€i get here around 5down 1up
Jesus
I currently running a contract for 42€/mo +40/year for 30down 7 up
yea, also pay for 40/10 - 30/7 ir real throughput
Ouch
TalkTalk's own website says 900Mb down for £47.95 plus VAT (it's a business product).
Business internet that lives up to the hype is here
Maybe they'll provision it for you at a residential address. That doesn't mean it's not a business package.
And it's not £25/month as you claimed.
This. This is criminal
Ikr
Looking at 500/500 for 60 euro from Telia I think
Was 40 from Bahnhoff
Wondering if I should spring for 1gbps
And aalso wondering if I should go for 8 thread router
1220v3 to 1230
Almost certainly doing that on truenas box
67Mbps
So not the symmetrical gigabit connections you claimed were available on the cheap? Gotcha.
That's what I can get where I am moving
10kr is about 1 euro
Have 600/50 now and it does the job fine really
Damn swedes
Don't show the Americans that
They'll cry in 1500/12
For $250 a month
And datacaps
And cgnat
50 bucks for gigabit is nice. google fiber here was 70 for gigabit so not that far off
reading the above actually makes me feel better cause aside from always knowing aussie's got the short end of the stick it looks like euro's are getting it up the ass as well in pricing compared to speeds lol
@forest edge saw you doing 37 on a 45, you ok ?
you know those cars were mainly mobster vehicles right? should check that trunk for a dead body
apparently. they sound like we use to several years ago when we thought we were the only one's in the world over paying for internet but turned out they have been getting an even shorter stick then we ever did all this time lol
@deft pewter i will double dog dare you to say they are pussies in person
i was Army airborne ranger .....and i would not try such a stupid move
i think at first they would hear your accent as a brit and laugh and next cookie your arse in your tea
aka head in toilet while flushing
@dull chasm how you doin this beautiful Saturday morning?
first day off in 6 months lol ...but good .....puppies are loving it
Not impressed with the new RX-A8A still 11.2 🙄
audio nerds...
I have more speakers than wiring to use them. I wish I'd run more spare wires when I wired for my rear surrounds
Here I am with 3.0 at home 🤣
the problem with speakers is that upgrading them piecemeal shows off the deficiencies in the old ones, making you want to replace all of them
2.1 😄
the LFE/subwoofer is table stakes in speaker setups
that .1 may make more of a difference than the 3
that .1 could be the diffrence having a subwoofer or not
atleast that is how my old tv surround bar classified it lol
2.0 here 🔥
5.1 would be fine later on when moved
May eventually do that
Probably go to 3.1 first
I was happy with my center channel until I upgraded my front L&R, then the center channel suddenly sounded like crap 🙂
easy way to avoid spending money on speakers
get tinnitus
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I see it the other way round... if you have tinnitus, you need louder speakers to overpower it 😄
Loud, maybe. Quality probably matters less
No idea. Tinnitus feels like one of those things that impossible to compare with someone else. I know mine's gotten worse over the last couple of years but I can still appreciate good quality audio.
it was specifically the distortion at higher volumes that drove me nuts with old center channel
and because it's for dialogue, it's easy to notice
I have that at the moment
XTZ (Swedish wholesale speakers), ribbon tweeters etc for a lot less than monitor silvers for example
Probably Planet Earth 2
It does!
In last episode
I have to keep up with the latest raccoon standards
my cats really like Meerkat Manor, but not for any sort of family resemblance
"ooooh food"
bite-sized
Got something something. 😄
And yes 11.2 could be better.
@tidal bronze is harmonics better .....sound placement .....etc
Well many plus quality is always better.
Just like single subwoofer makes no sense unless you are sitting on it.
the nice thing about subwoofers and LFE is that it can be practically anywhere
Hmm hardest thing is placing subwoofers in any room.
no no ...you have to do the crawl
the only issue is possible reflections from walls and such
but it's far less directional than any other speakers
Crawl was ages ago. Lol. Now I do all with REW
no i am old fashion ....what you think you doing when you visit
Then again adding bass shakers on all seats was much better than 4 subs
Yep just like that
i tried that ...wife kept hmmm having .org
Lmao
and sonama would not leave .............after 3 days he started to smell
what the hell is a sonama?
Even with REW it's a task. Specially dialing in fronts to sub xover levels and freq
@tidal bronzeyou know Hell for you is going to be just a pair of cheap walmart bluetooth speakers right?
@forest edge I condem thee
Cheap shit is sadly the death of good music.
he doesnt understand ...he has been around atx too long
When everyone is mastering to sound good on said Walmart speakers 🙄
a small but noticable ring keeps going thru his ears
What speakers would you recommend for soft rock?
@forest edge ssssh, they are measuring their speaker cables down to the closest millimetres, be very quiet
Here comes the dude that was born with fiber tail attached.
millimeter isnt that larger than your penis @clear ferry
you know us americans are bad with the metric system ......but i think that means micro penis????
You shouldn't listen to soft rock. Death metal or nothing
He listens to journey all day.
for your type of music, i would recommend the old cheap headphones that use to have the sponges. may even improve the sound of the music for ya
Grados? 🤣
The sponges bit at least
@clear ferry you got to do better ...you have posted that way to much
That's what shows up first with fiber
Koss portapros
Koss ....oh boy
Used to? My Grados have foam 🤷♂️
lmao
?
always wondered where all the old stock ended up..
I like Sennheisers tbh
Nothing 'old' about Grados. They're very much current and are great quality.
You gotta pick a side
