I hate internet providers. We switched contract and had to swap the router. Did it last night and still now we only have 64kbit up down. Called them, asked them what the issue was: "your router isn't online" "yes it is, I Googled your number using the computer" "no you didn't" ๐คทโโ๏ธ ok then

Must've clicked an invite link somewhere. They were just a low-quality troll.
Not the first person to turn up and go what's this about then
this server is clearly about memes ans norway's internet
You say that as if Norway's internet isn't just another meme.
It runs out of atx's garage, after all.

It's a fossil gen 5, it was $199
Some day I will get an LTE version but for now it works
Basic? The Fossil watches are decent.
Basic as in it was released in 2019. they are $199 now. I think it's alright so far but I'm sure there will be a better version out soon.

I'm going to be one of those people who just mows over weeds and keeps them low
@hushed basalt fun fact, that's how you get rid of most weeds in Bermudagrass
cut it low as hell, the weeds can't survive and the Bermuda will choke it out
Yeah a lot of my lawn weeds are lowlying
they especially like to eat racoons i hear
I'm more for eating the goats
I haven't been to see his goats yet. But if they don't eat me, I will update you when I have been to see them @forest edge

Just thought ya'll would like to know the free 'game' give away from Epic games this time is actually a nitro subscription ๐
Get 3 Months of Discord Nitro, free for new Nitro users
...
Subscription auto-renews for $9.99/month unless cancelled
two more from level 2

So what does this mean?
It means some people have too much money?
Mostly it means a bunch of things that don't matter to this server IMO - like audio/video stream quality
No it means I wanted the free emojis for 3 months and might as well give the boost here than never use it
but yes realistically means nothing
It's way too expensive to actually pay for it every month imo
I use Discord for other things, and I don't mind the "baby" Nitro sub to support it. I'd not bother if I just used it for automation chat
Details... ๐คช
What does boost do
Eh
@last cedar
please select an appropriate channel first
where?
we all need help in one way or another
i mean take a look at @clear ferry ....guy needs therapy and jesus.
Some people sadly are beyond our ability to help
Thanks for the idea, @clear ferry
Kids loved it!
Wife... came around to it eventually...
I'm going to have to Google how to make blue waffles now, aren't I?
Is that blue?! It looks green to me. @low harness WTH is that waffle the same color as sea water?! lol
That is green. Mono was referencing a foul internet meme.
Seriously don't look it up.
I'm on my work VPN, I wouldn't dream of it ๐
Reminds me of... cannibalism... IHOP style lol
There's a meme? I wondered what Leapo was talking about.
Ah yeah, my mistake. It's Leapo's fault.
Thatโs the advantage when work is only connected over a single gigabit

It's surprising that the Aussies don't have a more successful space program when physics makes it so much easier for them.
I guess the downside is that they spend a fortune on anti-gravity tech to stay attached to the Earth.

Linda from Bob's Burgers made a little raccoon restaurant in one of the last couple of episodes. It went about as well as could be expected.
Because trash pandas aren't good at finances?
Because they ended up fighting in the bins.
YESSSS
The best trash is always a hotly contented item
Paul Hibbert is at it again https://youtu.be/glqS5kEiJoQ
Of course he is.
I couldnโt make it through 30s of that crap. And it has nothing to do with any of his reasons, because he was too busy having a conversation with a sock puppet
WTF?! So, he can't figure out that a binary_sensor isn't a f'ing switch?!
Never heard of him. After watching the first few seconds of that video and hearing him squeak at the camera, I'll be happy to never see him again ๐
Occasionally he can be funny, but yeah, I typically avoid his crap because it's 90% "[insert thing here] SUCKS!".
I squinted at the picture and his motion sensor did show up as a switch though but yeah he is fairly intolerable
Maybe it works for people that follow him and have gotten acclimated
horrible to watch for reference though
If you add a raccoon to home assistant, what sort of entity does it show up as? What data can you get from it?
Binary sensor for amount of trash consumed, cuteness and weight
Switch for sleep and awake?
You forgot sensor.annoyance_level
Thanks @hard wharf ๐
Now back to the regularly-scheduled raccoon discussion
binary_sensor.doormat_available
what would happen if a racoon enters a tower case?
Empty or in use? Water or air cooled?
Yes
in use, air
The part that sucks about these videos is that they either don't understand or ignore the key aspects as to why some integrations are the way they are such as broadlink and the integrations means of circumventing the companies attempt to try and prevent 3rd party stuff from working at all.
I guess this should have been posted here. I need to move HA to a larger SD card. Can you suggest a good copy util? Balena does not seem to do this.
No, because thereโs no support here
try win32 disk imager
Thanks will google that
I would personally just save your config files etc and just reload a fresh copy on a larger drive then just copy the saved files over
but win32 should work
I am still just poking around HA. Would a snapshot accomplish this?
yes, you can make a snapshot, save that and then reload that snapshot on a new install. that will work as well
Never got this to work. For some reason it just refuses on the hassos install. But snapshots do the trick, even hacs came along.

Proud parenting moment...my 5 and 7 year old have asked me to find them a coding summer camp
Congratulations on discovering your kids will be forever lacking in social skills.
the future prospects of a cubical life
The Maserati will help
you mean the distraction and stress of trying to find a place that will service it?
that, and the chicks, of course
nah your mind is stuck in the 80's.. the only thing flashy cars bring this day in age is gold diggers
Cubicles? The world is going remote faster than ever and tech jobs tend to be more progressive.
His kids will work from his house until they're 45.
I dunno about that. maybe some aspect are moving more toward remote but certianly not everything
Is that how things are in KC ?
no most the gold diggers probably moved out your way lol
Hmm nothing hotter than a prius here ๐คฃ
you would drive a prius lol
No driving for me, only uber. I think less than 3k of driving a year lol
Plus it's not ok to drink and drive ๐
Oh I do get out, but that does not mean I have to drive. 4 to 8 flights a week is getting out, I think ๐ค
Lol. I split those right in the middle for fun.
Darn it, 10 AM is the right time start drinking. 9 AM is pushing it. Another 6 hours to go ๐
๐คฃ cooking so I missed all those comments earlier
I'm hoping by the time my daughter is old enough for a career that women in tech it's a more normalized thing
You gotta show up with what you cooking. Just saying it meh
spending your whole life inebriated also does not count lol
Well, someone's gotta do it.
change your name from quadflight to dosbottles lol
Lmao. Been ages since I tried some gin. Switching up from single malt today.
Do you need the veggies and potatoes as well? Lol
You lost me at fish
Hah. My kids won't eat pork. Kills me but it's true
Kids get a pass always.
Hence the salmon
no pork? they don't like hotdogs?
not a bad thing to get kids liking fish
They do not like hot dogs
unless they like it the same way atx likes it
I recently tricked them into liking hamburgers by first sneaking it into a quesadilla
Meat or nothing.
Last week was in Vegas had to get this to recover after 3 days of nonstop drinking ๐คฃ
I am going to give you the benifit of the doubt and assume that was a joke lol
A nice lady came to lounge and offered it how can I resist
dosen't surprise me that is a california thing
Well it's that or .....to drink without sleep
it wasn't really all that long ago that you all had a enema fad as well, bet you partaked in that as well lmao
I'm getting solar quotes. Anyone have solar and have input?
Due to roof size, I think max I can go is 8.3
Tesla
I only have a 2,500 SQ ft place
Do they offer tesla in TX
My bad.
what happened to @atxbyea
I'm in the Boston area
Wait atxbyea is my dude (who probably doesn't remember me). He's gone?
But unfortunately Tesla do not offer enphase, but still best price hands down.
I'll check with them again. Somehow they quoted a 12kwh system which doesn't make much sense for my roof
They will revise later on.
I have 4 systems in 4 properties tesla was the best experience and price. Tech wise they are shit. You gotta hand hold their techs.
Only thing I saw with them to proceed though required me to actually order
lol tsla
how the hell can so many cali's be on solar/wind and your infrastructure still crap out?
But do they apply for my incentives/permits prematurely is the question
That's a sales gimmick
They do that for everything, thinking their buyers are simple
Then it's a sales gimmick they all use lol
But price per W you are not going to get anything better.
They are calling panels at cost or below. Right now they come with Q cell panels
that drove me nuts when I look at their car pricing
Warranty seems comparable too
the actual price was in a tiny font at the bottom
You mean because they obfuscate the price with the potential savings
yes, with a bunch of rebates and incentives, not all of which you're actually eligible for
That's a car thing not a Tesla thing
I seem to be one of the few people that got their Tesla for lower than the "non negotiable" price though
Tesla relies heavily on it because the actual price is high and the incentives are what bring it down
Tesla hasn't been eligible for incentives for a couple years
Federal incentives anyway
@chilly nymph I don't think you will need 2 x inverters but if you do in your final design and if they are tesla inverters, be ready to have about 45 days delay in getting proper data in the app. Performance wise not a problem but just a heads up. They launched their own inverters without ironing out kinks or knowing the backend properly. Just FYI
As long as the damn thing generates power I don't care but a hassle.
they now have a "purchase price" and "potentially savings" slider, which defaults to the latter
Lol
I think they just dropped that. I remember a tweet from Elon saying that it wasn't needed because "Plaid" was so good
yes, out as in "not gonna happen"
and just think, every 8 years you can look forward to spending like 12k+ for a battery replacement lol
you mean your rickshaw
That was the case when I got mine
If it has magnetic ride control that would do.
I probably lucked out when I got mine. Ordered in February 2020 and it was to be delivered in March 2020. Everything paused and I put my order on pause. They had to offer discounts several times before I decided the discount was probably not something i would be able to get again
I'll look at them for solar again though. The fact that every other solar rep has trashed them without me bringing them up is probably telling.
No one can sell panels below cost. Which tesla is doing.
If you are good at schematics just double check on it when you get the plans. I had to correct a few mistakes.
The offset is the batteries because their batteries are not expensive
My power went out twice on Wednesday
My primary motivation is to cover outages. Sure, I could buy a generator for a lot less, but if I can justify the case of batteries, that's my preference
Oh. Then yes. But if you don't have interruptions, bats are just a waste of money.
I would go with natural gas genie
It was frustrating because 1. I was in board meetings both times and 2. I run multiple servers that I don't have an apc for yet
Did you get a quote from generac?
Check it out. If you go with generac you can run the whole house not like powerwall and picking this or that to run when power is out.
Powerwall had that option as well but I needed 2
Also, for the record, my 7 year old has now eaten a full pound of fish.
Plus you need a sub panel with powerwall loads.
Unless you upgrade your panel to a SPAN panel
I'll look at that. One thing I've read, unless I'm missing something, is that the cost of batteries only qualify for the federal incentives if part of a solar install
Roof would fit my needs so much better due to the shape of my roof, but it's so much more expensive
putting tech into an eletrical panel is just a bad idea imo
Perhaps the technology is different but the solar guy that was at my house today described something very similar to what I just saw on the span website just a second ago
you are better off going with a secondary sub panel
that's fine
multiple sub panels is not a big thing
the issue with incorperating tech into a main panel is simply that tech itself does not last, it invites more possible problems not to mention that some day you may have no choice but to replace the whole thing because of one part you can no longer get
it's one thing to have to replace a sub panel while still having the ability to have power within the house than it it to have to replace a mian panel and doing without power the whole time
I haven't looked at the panel itself. I can't say I see the need for it in most cases, since groups are a thing, but in the case of batteries, I get it, since you can shut off power to completely unnecessary rooms in the case of a power outage
@forest edge you should stop applying everything to barn standards
I'm talking in general, a fancy tech main panel vs the old traditional "dumb" panel
I know span would not work in a barn but.....
no matter how much you digital nerds try and push your fancy star trek shit on the rest of us, analog will always be more reliable and last longer
Here comes the manual ice cream churning ๐
yea remember that when your shit breaks and want ice cream lmao
The biggest concern I'd actually have with a digital panel is actually a software glitch while I'm changing an outlet. Though I'd assume there's also a manual (hard) shutoff
Yes manual override is always there.
No it's not the lantern and around the barn manual shit.
That's why I called it a shutoff...a physical circuit disconnection that software couldn't undo
Also, I want @forest edge's ice cream.
you are better off going old school. you can always "add" tech to an older panel to achieve all the same stuff
and still have the option of yanking it out lol
@chilly nymph I would not advise for his ice cream.
One thing I've never pulled the trigger on but have always been interested in is sense
@tidal bronzedid you buy that span panel?
Lol
Perhaps the right question is less if he bought it and more if he has it
Well now I am heart broken. Sonoma says go analog ๐
oh i'm sure it will last for a decade or so ||or a year||
the main issue is what do you do when something breaks? what if the company goes belly up? is there a fallback?
Yes. Move to KC
10 years is a long time for me when property is concerned. That's a life time
best thing about traditional boxes it all the main suppliers continue to make the same breakers that generally are universal to fit. I just replaced some breakers in a small sub panel that was like 70+ years old and just went to lowes to get them lol
yes we know, anything 2 years or older is ancient by your standards and simply just will not do
you probably ask the uber driver what year the vehicle it is they drive then make a cringe face when they say it's anything older than 2 years
You crack me up dude. Now the issue is not that, the problem is whether uber will show up or not. Lol. Been taking taxis lately.
oh no.. your uber eats selection dying off a well?
I have never had that issue with ride shares
No drivers all over the place.
@forest edge uber eats still alive but 1 hour wait times. ๐ซ
The closest I've ever had was when at Disney world and the driver parked in the wrong parking lot and threatened to ditch us
I hear they pay those drivers like shit so now that the country is kind of getting back to normal I bet some of those people are giving uber and the like the middle finger lol
No they have $300 bonus every 60 rides or something.
Sadly there are no uber black sometimes.
To be fair, if that's the case, they still have to give 60 rides to get that $300
yea but comparing to wear and tear and the shit from the riders thsemselves.. i don't think the balance guage works out lol
I am sure once you all get your fully automated replacements you'll have no issues
just ride to the airport in terror
That's years away. Even the vegas tesla loop at the convention center is driven by humans now. What a fail.
lol
I bought 2 lbs of fish. Somehow, it's gone. My daughter had only one piece. My wife and I did not eat fish. Do I have to worry about my son growing gills?
All human ๐คฃ
you certainly wouldn't want them pushing that crap out hastely.. especially that lyft flying taxi thing they advertised a few years ago.. imagine being in that sucker several hundred feet off the ground and it deciding to just shut off or fly into a building lol
that is kind of sad, since there are videos of people literally falling asleep while the car continues to drive down the highway lol
It will happen but it's ways out.
People are using things to cheat the system
I have had my Tesla "shut me off" of the self driving stuff once because it thought I was cheating. In reality, I had to go over the breakdown lane line a couple times because of cars creeping into my lane
@tidal bronzeyou could always just build yourself your own personal catapult to launch you to the airport and back.
Epic. One day. Laser guided cruise control is more than enough for me. Only if I can set cruise to 110 now that's what I am looking for. 95 is not cutting it.
95mph?
Lol. 115 to 125 if I driving out of city.
The fact that @tidal bronze trusts me to control his cruise should be concerning.
he puts this song on and just pretends.. https://youtu.be/kk1vbwb6vS8
"It's not what you do it's how you do it, be anything you want to be"! Who remembers the amazing opening to the classic 1981 film "The Cannonball Run"?! The film was release on this date 39 years ago. Ray's song "Cannonball" plays during the famous Lamborghini chase that kicks off the film!

Valentine V1 + JBV1 + Anti-Laser Priority ๐
don't cali cops have fancy fast highway patrol cars?
Not anymore. Heli is much easier.
lol i saw a video where they tried tracking someone in a camaro via the heli and the dude outran the helicopter
Chases pretty common
My biggest fear is ticket by Cessna, but jbv1 tracks them pretty good.
maybe you should move closer to the stuff you keep wanting to drive too
Just a bad habit that I can't get rid of. That's why I uber whenever I can.
just get one of those two seater mini's and that way no matter how hard you slam on the pedal you will never break the posted limit
I used to think that about my 85 Accord
Finally got it up to 100 on a highway at night, bit it took gravity assist
@static schooner in college I was driving a 96 accent and got a ticket going 96 (but he tagged me for 70.
I actually showed up to court and told the judge I didn't think my car could actually go that fast.
Only got a speeding ticket in iceland doing 165kmh. Not a soul in sight and passed the only van which was a cop van. Super nice cop asked my what on earth am I doing. I tried the lame excuse of trying to find a restroom. Guy gave me the credit card machine and said pay faster so you can get to the toilet faster. $750 ticket. Valentine V1 couldn't save me that time ๐
Cops with credit card machines?
I don't like this episode of Black Mirror
Yep.
750 ticket.. ouch
I don't mind the ticket, wife reminding that is what kills me.
Somewhat pricey view of Northern lights ๐
wouldn't even cost that much to have a traffic lawyer to wipe the ticket here in the states
well maybe in cali
but 102mph is a joke anymore
well it probably is hard for thier horse and buggy to reach those speeds
Lmao. I must start reading road signs
long time ago here if you got pulled over for doing anything over 100mph you were taken to jail and your car was impounded. they figured the experience of going through all of that and getting your car back was a lesson to keep you from doing it again but these days I think you got to be doing a lot faster than 100mph before they would do anything like that. especially with highway speed limit being 75
kind of miss the early 80's going into the 90's
you could literally fuck with cops and get away with it
now they just sic heli's on you then spike strip your ass lol
The only thing I wouldn't do is a rolling stop.
depending on your speed when approaching the sign you may not have a choice.. but that would be a skidding stop i think heh
In LA that's a big no no. No detector is going to help you with that.
I do not miss the days you could actually over heat your brakes they would just simply stop working. had a few scary experinces that I would not want to relive
JBV1 coupled with valentine v1 is life changing.
Do you have MRCD over there @forest edge
I have no idea. I bought a radar detector one time eons ago, didn't help so got rid of it. the way I figured it, if I was going to speed I was going to be going to fast to be able to slow down for a cop anyways so better to speed up when seeing them
you use to be able to not only outrun them but once you crossed a county line they would stop chasing
course that don't hold true today but it use to be like that
Jbv1 combines everything into one place. Including air patrol.
that is too much shit to try and look out for lmao
is your police still on donkeys?
You don't need to. Can customize overlays and have it completely silent unless it crosses set thresholds.
Donkeys well it's barn country, high possibility
yea but not the german kind. those just kept leaking fluids
there's a reason we switched off of them long ago ๐
getting a donkey with German work ethics is near impossible D:
speeding kind of lost it's appeal for me back in my 30's. these days if I need to get somewhere quick I just reschedule lol
Hey guys, sorry, quick question, is there a good place for feature requests/suggestions? I had a thought relating to the light groups integration that could be nice/helpful if added.
@sacred pasturebetter off posting that on the forums https://community.home-assistant.io/c/feature-requests/
Cool, thanks.
Interviewer asks you to reverse a linked list:
google for a lib that supports a collection reversal
add to project if doesn't exist in the project's language by default
assert that list is not null
list.reverse()
Interviewer: "k, but you have no internet connection, implement without"
Me: "I think it is more important to address the connection at the moment, to avoid crucial money loss. Once I've restarted the router, I would look in the router logs to understand what caused the down time, and address that. I'd suggest an emergency 4G connection if the internet's down until it returns to avoid these issues in the future.
Once resolved, go back to the algorithm I've suggested"
Interviewer: "I...what [confused npc sounds]"
Me: "This is my wage suggestion, is there anything else before I leave?"
Interviewer: Still in endless loop
Me: "k bye been's a pleasure have a nice day"
but you have no internet connection
Then how the duck am I connected to work VPN? ๐ฎ
if a company needs to resort to needing a 4g backup then it's doomed from the get go and I wouldn't advise presuming employment from them
Why
Sup
I am pretty tired. Kid is having sleep issues. So we arent getting much.
No work tomorrow yet tho.
Do it
First time I heard of that was in game Interstate 76.
Seemed very strange and I am not surprised the practice has changed
jurisdiction lines still remain the same but now it's just a hand off so the original pursuit vehicles doesn't have to stop
Makes sense. How about across state lines?
I think it's the same however once current jurisdiction officers arrive they just take over while the others drop chase

I hate unrealistic interviews. I'm expecting one of mine in the next week or two to have a multiple-hour-long technical section ๐คข Like, do they think they're Google or something?
If I wanted to go through that kinda crap, I'd actually try to get into FAANG.
I had a pretty simple technical interview
Was actually way easier than I thought it would be
Not saying I'm smart. But no bullshit binary search trees or anything
Yeah, I'm hoping not to be asked to do any fancy algorithm shit.
For one of my interviews, the technical part is just going to be sitting down with one of their senior/lead engineers and doing a code review exercise with a PR they've prepared. Looking forward to that, since it'll be pretty much: can you spot the issues, how would you improve them, and how are you communication skills when feeding back?
Every comment is just going to be 'change this, it's shit'
why are image attachments disabled in support channels?
Because most of the time, we don't want to see images of text... which is what people try to post a lot ๐
If you really need to share an image to get your point across, use imgur.
Because we said so? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Pictures of text = ๐คข Hard to read, especially on mobile. Impossible to edit to show the fix.

Not sure where to ask. I have a strange problem where one of my custom cards gets an error of custom element does not exist on some of my computers and on others no issue. Cleared cache on all that do not work and all are using the same version of Chrome

We ported Doom to the Silicon lab's MGM210L RF module found ni the IKEA TRร DFRI RGB GU10 lamp (IKEA model: LED1923R5).
The module has only 108 kB of RAM so we had to optimize a lot the RAM usage.
The module has only 1 MB of internal flash, therefore we added an external SPI flash to store the WAD file, which can be uploaded using YMODEM.

Remember when having more ram meant your computer booted slower?
Or the fun of when you needed boot flags to see some of the RAM
Thatโs up there with setting the IRQ jumpers.
Ah yes. The master/slave and primary/secondary switches. At least you didn't need a hardware terminator for the bus, like with scsi.

Of course, thank you
Kinda-sorta off-topic? I have a Pi3B+ that isn't booting, and is flashing three times. (I assume it's three: the access light stays on, then blink-blink-blink-back on for a couple seconds.) Known good SD cards do not boot in it but do boot in the one I got to replace it. Is it salvageable in any way or do I toss it?
Looking online I can't tell if three flashes is fatal or if I can do something,.
I find the best way to troubleshoot any Pi is to place it in a bag of rice, tie the top securely, then throw it into the sea. Finally, buy a real computer.
Yeah, basic troubleshooting on any hardware, if there is a common fault, it is at fault
Well yes, question is whether there is something I can potentially reset or if it's completely dead.
I don't believe so
Actually
What are you using to power the pi?
Try swapping the psu
That is about all i can think of
@limber scrolllikley power issue, but you can look up what those mean. also plugging it into a monitor and watching the boot up will indicate the issue
Monitor stays black. Plugged into the same power it was running HASS on for a couple years now.
swap out the power
I looked it up and I get something like "generic boot error". I can't put an exact finger on what it means.
make sure nothing is plugged into any of the usb ports or running off the gpio
Generic boot error implies that you get a screen right?
And lightning icon on top right?
Lightning icon is power issue iirc (as in power supply)
I do not. Means when I looked up what three flashes means, it means "generic boot error."
Aha
just wanted to say how awesome HA is with just a script! It runs at a server, can remotely monitored, changed and all. All that by a python script!??
"a" python script... ๐
there is a massive sticky that addresses known issues and what the flashes mean. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58151
9-10 times it's as simple as the PSU or the boot media
The mother script of them all?
anyway. i just run HA on a rpi Zero for some time. but i need the supervisor version. i have installed HA with the DietPi installer. Runs smooth, but need backups for the dashboards..
suggestions? or should i ask tony stark?

raccoons never leave
wow thats frecking awesome. where do i buy ๐
You don't buy raccoons. You leave doormats out and they simply enter your life.
i bet, they steal the doormat also afterwards ๐
Or garbage cans... The trash panda equivalent of a doormat.
ubiquity to racoons only here:)
what are u running on those?
Not mine - I just shared and like the idea
But ubiquity :nauseated_face:
sorry non-english hard word to spell ๐
its expansive stuff i know. but never saw the upside for a home network to buy ubiquity devices in my home
expensive*
Ubiquiti its spelled ๐
They are the MacBooks of network gear. Nice and shiny but when it comes down to it just another random hardware with limitations. At least better as the stuff the ISP is giving out
well u do have to buy alot of stuff to manage it. the cloud key for example?
we're going way offtopic lol
good thing we're in #the-water-cooler
i do find 80 euros for a WiFi point a lot
You don't know these nerds
Nah, you can do most stuff without the add-ons. But yea, when you want to go down that route it's a switch, a access point, a firewall, a cloud key a... I bet the list goes on and on
dont know how many clients that will hold
And paying for all your firmware upgrades or else they disable your hardware...
seriously?
Merch game - played through
i do like hardware. but Ubiquiti has topped it. i've installed better access points with 40% of the costs i bet. still running today
but that VR shit of the switch is just awesome.
There is a reason nerds starting to hate Ubiquiti.
To be fair, also installed like 5 U-AP's once it's configured you can train a grandpa to get this. Thing going and serving wireless to stone age phones
I have around 150 clients on my Unifi gear.
whats a estimate cost for that, do u remember?
how many access points/switches>?
2 UAP-Lites, 1 UAP-Pro, 3 switches (2xUSG8-POE and 1xUSG-16POE), 1 USG.
Oh, and I also have a Flex switch as well.
ok i do think they rock balls. 3 AC points with that much clients.
Try netflow :P
Yeah.
just wiggling with zabbix and grafana atm. cant decide
I also have the TP-Link Omada setup, but it's been moved into my test lab because I was having some issues the other day with various devices dropping udp packets and I didn't have time to mess with it.
are any of these weather proof for outside?
can only find for inside
those Omada look like they can be worthy!
Both Unifi and Omada have outdoor APs.
I don't remember the models off the top of my head though.
i'm gonna look into those. we really need some upgrades here and our IT support on the island is crap
whats with the dropping UDP packets. u getting loss of data and connections?
gotta play with power settings on ubiquitis
but dont cheap out on the candy bar antennas
get the big boys if you want a good connection
the nanostations are trash imo
u have some indication why the drops in UDP packets accure?
Honestly? Not sure. It seems to only happen on my UDP only devices and pretty randomly. But, it was enough that some of my wifi bulbs just dropped off the network for no reason and I haven't had time to investigate it further yet. So, I just swapped equipment and got everything running again.

Buy Lsi Logic Sas9285-8e Megaraid 8-port Pcie 2.0 Sff-8088 Sata+sas Raid Controller With Both Brackets. Refurbished..Great customer service.
thoughts?
I could tell you a joke about UDP but I don't think you'd get it.
Pcie 2.0 fast enough for those SAS raid controller?
500MB/s is not much. Pcie 3.0 has 8GT/s
UDP is the one without the need for a handshake in every packet, right?
Its the slowest of them all
I just thought they were fire from the hip packets that may or may not reach their destinations
And they have a reputation to not be delivered
Every tool has it's use
i really dont know.
honestly 500MB/s would still be maxing out alot of spinning rust
im thinking a raid 6 array with that card and use 4tb HDD's
might not be the most efficient.
but it would hold a shit load of data

If asked by a raccoon to lift a bunch of doormats, what procedures must be followed, for everyone's safety?
All equipment must be CE marked, of course
Yes
I know raccoons are one of the biggest risk factors for a distributed microservice architecture
Sure you may have a robust service mesh and RBAC, but can you withstand 100 hungry raccoons
Argh! MATLAB IS SO STUPID!
Lol
This one forgot the hard hat and high vis vest
Absolutely. Gotta keep those sausages on hand to tame the raccoons
safety shoes and gloves missing too, hope it all worked out
Me too!
How can you tell?
You're actually right, maybe they did wear those things, can't really tell, but I like broad assumptions
They don't really make raccoon sizes of safety shoes generally though, so I think we would see them if they were present
That's a good point.

Visually, the leak of 11 looks like the (cancelled) Windows 10X. It's probably straight-up running the shell from 10X.
Windows 10x was supposed to launch on tablets, small-form-factor devices, and portable dual-screen devices.
I'm 100% OK with them canceling making it a separate OS, in favor of rolling all of those features in as options to an existing SKU
One feature I wish they would copy from Apple: Include 100% of desktop features in the Server SKUs
Server 2016 and 2019 get close, but Microsoft still prevents you from installing some bits and pieces that they only want available on desktop SKUs for some reason

@hushed basalt serverless is just another dumb buzzword like cloud
it's got a server, it's running on a server
not your server and not a big or long lived server, but a server nonetheless
Does it matter
You can call it functions as a service, or managed service,
The point is it's a higher level of abstraction, generally consumption based not fixed cost
The pretty much opposite of a bare metal or vm
The people building 'serverless' apps aren't dumb. We know that serverless just means 'someone else's computer'. For me, the biggest difference is the removal of the whole need to provision/maintain equipment.
Like... I wouldn't call AWS EC2 serverless and some would. But AWS Lambda? 100% serverless.
But with someone else's computer, comes the fact that you are dependent on them.
That would be a solid argument if you were talking about some bloke you met down the pub. When it's someone as big and reputable as AWS, it's a non-issue.
If you provision your own bare metal on premises, you're still subject to a whole ton of other issues. Hardware failure, power outage, tripping on cables...
True, both have pros and cons, for example, I use a synology nas for all my data storage, but still use unifi networking which is connected to their cloud
And with companies like ubiquiti its not really a problem, their market share is large enough to expect them to be stable.... but there have been some companies that started out as a cloud service for their equipment, they went bankrupt and all of the sudden all of their equipment was useless...
Yeah, buying anything that depends on the cloud is stupid. Building something you choose to deploy to the cloud is fine.
Unifi does have a local only option
I realise that moving your application from AWS to GCP isn't trivial but you'd hope people at least architect their apps in a way that it's possible.
