wait till we start over volting shit and swapping battery packs and adding on capacitor banks to our ev's
Brb, gonna overclock my Tesla
no don't do it! they will void your warrenty and you'll no longer be able to access self drive and essentially turn the thing into a giant paper weight for the next owner
WHICH IS BULLSHIT
So stupid
Especially since you don’t get a discount on it for the next Tesla you buy even if you trade it in. Surely they would want to encourage you to buy it again
ew
can't be too hard on elon.. he did after all kick start the whole movement lol
Also @jade tartan, is that one of your E36s in your pfp?
He could try and kick start the car industry to do better though. The whole nickle and diming isn’t great
mines much more poop
he fights against the car industry all the time
it's it's own ecosystem with it's own chair members and all
I remember reading about all that during the begining
He still encourages the stupid plus plus plus lock in stuff though. Especially with how electric cars are becoming less and less repairable by indie shops or people at home
hell I worked in the automotive industry for a number of years and I didn't know it had it's own global head office thing lol
yeah, i believe the whole, lets make it impossible basicly for indie shops to work on things is BULLLLLLSHIT
One thing I love about my e46 is how I can repair it myself if I want to
^
But I’m lazy 😂
^^^^^^
But like I added automatic headlights & wipers, plus fixed the antenna connection, etc all myself
No issues there. BMW dealer happy to give me the connector pins I needed too which was nice
Lmao, home assistant broke again
just get one of these https://www.cnchangli.com/en/2.html easy to repair anything
infact you'll have to do some improvement repairs once it's delievered
Also @jade tartan eventually gonna EV convert my E46. When she dies or there are rules against petrol cars that is. Will be fun to do
joke's on you, i'd love that truck
She’s got a lot of life left, 84000km (53,000mi) on the odometer so far
jokes on you even more, because im seriously considering asking grandpa if he wants to go halfs on the truck to go get the mail
lololol

Ig this is a #general-archived issue so I'll move there
Woohoo. Installed Home Assistant yesterday and already set up a useful automation \o/
Hi guys! I am a beginner an I have some automatizations based on Philips hue states. After Last update everything îs messed up regarding hue lights status. My bulb îs lit but my ha buton show tlhat îs turned off. My automatizatons not work enymore. Please do something. Thx
Sounds like #integrations-archived issues to me
Nice! Welcome m8!
Thanks! Still a bit confused with all the communication protocols, especially since I bought xiaomi stuff and dislike their gateway
It looks like I'll have to wait for my conbee key to ship tomorrow to use some of that stuff
Deleted integration...reinstall...the same
normally if it's an issue related to any integration the support should be in that channel, but just to let you know really quick that's a known issue and will be fixed in 2021.12.3 (#61926)
Hei...so there îs hope...thx

Well yesterday we had building fire at my work.. Total of 5 departments showed up.
How bad was it? @clear mirage
I was at a place when the fire alarm went off, everyone looked at me, but I hadn't done anything
Turned out it was in one of the transformer rooms, and it was only a dirty detector
Was a bit scary opening the door for many reasons
Very sorry :(
It wasnt too bad. the building was geting a new roof and they cutting metal and the sparks coguht the underlayment on fire. No injureis. What didnt help was the 30-40mph wind gusts
did make for a interesting end of day.
Just installed 2021.12.3 and wow the Lovelace web UI is much faster than before... I don't see anything in the release notes about it though, which is strange because for me the difference is huge.
(and with that the iOS is also way way snappier)
Great update! 😉 Thanks devs
Got my occuls 2 today. Got it setup at lunch and almost hit the tv
got mine a couple weeks ago and love it
cant imgaine gaming without it now honestly
i also almost spilled a drink on my laptop lol
VR is great. I can't wait for what we get in a decade or so
Gaming without it? What do you do? Play all of your pc games with it?
Racing games without VR for example are just a shadow of it offers. Once you go VR you don't go back
even with the very limited FOV you currently get with the mainstream headsets
I do miss having a quick button to reload a gun lol....some games man it feels like a chore
but nothing like having to run and dodge bullets or crouch behind a rock to hide
some can play on it but not all...i think most now have a VR mod too
@orchid rose what VR games are you currently playing? I started to checkout Pavlov and Grapple Tournament...both a lot of fun!
Very few actually. I haven't been gaming a lot lately. But to me it's mostly just Assetto Corsa
Just Google Earth is mindblowing to me
i need a gaming PC to mess with all that lol, current laptop has no dedicated GPU 😦
rip
Bbl elden ring
Anyone said gaming? 👀
I was little bit addicted some time ago
MMO
daily raids
form 9pm till 2am
everyday
😵💫
TS3
duck hunt VR is great for the nostalgia effect lol
isnt there nokia snake VR version?
lol
it could be interesting, view as snake head, and look at your tail
I used to play a 3d 1st person snake back in the day.
I'd like to see someone try Portal in VR.
ive been hearing so many great things about RE4 on the quest
im just waiting on the xmas sale to pick up the next set of games now
Add some 7.1 surround to that.
I know @forest edge would just play farm simulator 24/7/365 in vr
headset would bother me after so long of wearing it and that time duration would just get shorter and shorter lol
then its a good thing they only last 2-3 hours on a single charge 😂
but after about 30 minutes i usually take a 5 min break personally
depending on what you are playing it can be tiring very quickly
what if your playing a game that lasts longer than that?
like Pistol Whip or Beat Saber
then you switch back to monitor and suck ass at the game?
eh you wait cuz VR is better lol
lol
or get a battery pack and run a wire through your shirt lol 😛
can already see it now.. the competitions between VR and monitor users and at that magical point VR users start dropping like flies lol
I tried vr in 1996 the first time, it's gotten better since, but nothing I'd bother investing in yet
Google cardboard plus smartphone is fun enough with Google Street view
for the same price as a xbox or nintentdo switch.....cant go wrong
I must say Breath of the Wild VR was a terrible disappointment.
Revisiting countries I've been to before
considering you were using that nintendo vr thing that just showed the images all in red atx...
missing out on the controllers though
Handheld Bluetooth controller for moving forward is all I need
im really digging the mechanics being built in with accelerometer and gyroscope
Google earth is the only thing I've played on a real VR headset since the very first occulus beta thingy. Flew through some cities. Kind of cool.
let me know when we reach ready player one lvl of vr and i'll give it a try lol
It has good potential for virtual cooperation meetings discussing cad models with colleagues in vr
haha people wnat a full body suit.....all i want is a special drink holder so i can find my beer and drink without taking the headset off 🤷♂️
lol board meeting where everyone's avatar is a diffrent furry
Portals are mind blowing games

lol board meeting where everyones avatar looks teh same
lol the whole feeling around in the dark just to knock the drink over bit
ahha yea, at least with the quest it has the guardian feature where it kicks in teh IR cameras so you can see everything lol
although it only really saves you when your head leaves the area, arms can reach throuh
lol
one game ive been enjoying more than i thought is Walkabout Mini Golf....pretty well built game with crazy rounds lol
what you don't go into that VR chat game? that thing from what littles i've seen was built for VR before VR was even available
umm havnet done much yet, i checked out horizon worlds....seems cool
theres a VR MMA fight tomorrow to watch...kinda cool teh camera is ring side
Can't wait to have football (soccer) in VR. It won't be perfect because it's only 360 vs 5-degrees-of-freedom, but still something else
they gotta make controller based shoes first 🤣
need accelerometer and gyroscope
Muse has a music video in vr, it's pretty cool
awesome ill watch that in a bit lol
i really enjoyed the lego batman VR experience
was also bad ass of universal to upload teh back to the future ride!
You can meet with him in some virtual world
lol
atx could join using his virtual boy https://www.gamebits.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Virtual-Boy-03.jpg
Fyi:
I think some mechanism is accidentally removing ppls community repos. Just logged in and it was gone.
Im a power user and i def didnt remove it. Infact i didnt even touch the instance.
uppon googling, it seems like a bunch of ppl have had the same issue.

thats more useful. Wish i had known that command.
It's the channel topic, the one you can see by swiping in from the side on mobile
Or at the top of the screen on desktop
I know you've been pointed at them many times before 😉
Lol yea thats a me problem. Iv got severe dyslexia and visual snow. Stuff gets hectic haha
Il try my best
ok so just confirmed the new "Berennis" smart bulbs from amazon are using esp32's, magichome, works local only flawlessly just fyi
Weekend at Berennis
exactly where my mind went lol
weeeee
2nd day done
got work phone set up but stayed at desk because some update or something
i need to learn to SSH into routers and switches now
and by that i mean i need to learn cisco routers and switches
For some reason they refuse to connect to my wifi
Is there an FCC ID anywhere on the light or packaging?
Want to see some internal photos
i think those are on onlyfans
home assistant onlyfans
Good thing 99% Cisco users only use 25% of functionality at best, and preferably the vendor specific ones so the knowledge is useless for other products
Frankly I should have posted a colonoscopy gif

@scenic radishSee an FCC icon printed but don't see an ID
Damn
what you looking for?
pretty sure it's the same as my other ones just they using the esp32 rather than the 8266
Lawnmower man, now there's an oldie
I'm scanning 2000 endpoints for log4j vulnerabilities right now... it's not looking good
Upside: Job security.
Downside: 60+ servers to find patches for...
i now work for a school and my job is going to eventually have me swapping and configuring switches and routers to replace the old ones, that kinda thing
i also need to learn more about vlans
Oh boy
yeah
You have a long way to go, but with proper interest you should be fine
uh, yeah, get to like up there in cisco levels and you can make BANK
just from those certs
Not really imo
Certs are something two kinds of people do.
1 people who don't know what they are doing who think certifications help them get a job
2. People who have worked with something for 10+ years do because someone wants them to
There are a gazillion people out there with Cisco certs, I know at least five who don't even work in networking anymore
im just trying to make myself more valuable
and i'd love to move up eventually
but i guess when i get to tier 3 in the pay scale or w/e i can get 31/hr
Value comes from actual skill, certifications these days are mostly due to RFP requests
i didn't think system admins made very much these days
well then i guess i just need to watch a fuck ton of youtube about cisco 's OS and routers and switches and shit
lol
No idea for the us, I'm guessing $80-100k a year here for sysadmin with good experience and multiple years in the company
I seriously doubt it's that much here but then it also depends what company you hire with too
I been out of that field for so long that I don't really know, can only go off bits and pieces I read every so often
But first you need to figure out if you should bother learning catos, or just do nxos, or just do ASA, or just do aci, or maybe even something else, depends on the products you are likely to encounter
If there are pads for flashing and if not, how difficult it would be to access the module. Then again, it's a moot point if the eFuse is burned
But networking 101 is first, vlans is fundamental
wtf is an efuse?
In the case of the ESP32, it prevents alternative firmware from being flashed
it's friday night why are you cursing us with ones and zeros
An electronically trippable fuse
i mean MY job will be dealing with cisco switches and routers from the standpoint of making cameras, door access, phones, iot, things work, not even full PC clients
I will admit these bulbs are slightly shorter than my original ones so the layout may be a little diffrent. my originals everything but gpio 0 was easy as hell to reach
so like today we ran a cable for a PA system
@clear ferry sounds like they're just gonna have him be uploading already made configs
really don't feel like poping a top off one to see atm. I did that with one of my originals and it's like moisture got in there or something. bulb still works but the wifi range on it was a little whacky
since he sounds liek he doesnt know shit about cli or networking lol
If the will to learn is there, networking is a huge field
But i got bored, so I work with a dozen other product families on top of networking
wow, thanks for addressing me in such a welcoming manner, fuckwad
they made a ton of changes to their certs
just learn enough to plug in the device and fake the rest
ah so you're a dev ops guy
actually.. when this shit all started that is exactly what it was like rotf
literally noone knew anything about networking or pc's for that matter so it was easy to fake your way around.
sounds like every small business ever
not this day and age
i disagree lol
however one bad thing was the invention of the certs
companies wanted people to get certs that did thier actual job no beneifit whatsoever
in like 20 person companies or less? IT is a cost center and gets to do lots with no money lol
and that shit was expensive too, like 300+
if you're ever feeling dumb look up practice questions for a+ etc
"what is the command for pinging" a)ping B) pong C) peng
as long as you already had an established job in IT before certs came about you were golden, if you didn't then it was a literal Duck Hunt
Certs is mostly an American thing tbh
Glad I aged through that period the way I did is all I gotta say lol
all the benifits none of the headaches and cost out of pocket
And in IT, they aren't often worth that much. We're always wary of new hires that have a ton of certs and no field experience...
Same
Looks like every server we manage with APC PowerChute installed is vulnerable... joy...
That's basically every single Hyper-V host in our deployment
Schneider Electric has confirmed the issue, but no patches are available as of yet...
@last cedar Yeah, APC PowerChute and APC Network Shutdown both use log4j
Good to know, thanks
Which means it's trivial to send a single command and gain a root/admin shell on the system running it
I only used it for initial setup, use NUT now to talk to my router, and it acts as a NUT server
Which, in the case of a hypervisor host... is very bad...
apcupsd isn't vulnerable, so there's that, at least
Indeed!
ew powerchute
I should have taken up machine shop learning before I gotten old and lazy
Can't really get away from it in SMB environments
We have a ton of clients who have a single server and a single APC UPS, and need to coordinate VM shutdown during extended power outages. PowerChute is the way to do that
I mean, we could deploy NUT, but then we become the end-to-end support for whatever we rigged up and deployed...
If we deploy APC PowerChute, then APC takes the heat 🤷♀️
I guess it depends who actually codes current powershute. in the older days schneider contracted it out which was good and bad in it's own ways and they may still do that which honestly I would trust over them doing it themselves since schneider may be a good electrical product company but just like the others, they are ass when it comes to software.
course you have home and buisness versions so the buisness may be way better as well. i do not know
hi guys, I am a teacher of IT in the Netherlands. I introduced this year a course called IOT and we are making Home Assistant in a virtual machine. So far so good. We installed ha, nodeRed and zigbee2mqtt. I bought a lot of aqara, philips, ikea zigbee devices and the game is on
i thought, maybe you guys have an idea what we can use as well
Also, are they 5 channel or only 4?
5 channel. i always get the cct ones
25 bucks for 3 bulbs. slightly more expensive then the 20 I paid for the original 3 i got
Not a bad deal if they turn out to be flashable
anything that runs magichome I think is an esp
Unfortunately not
And if they're ESP32 and the eFuse is burned, that means no tasmota :(
I remember you talking about the controllers
I've noticed that MagicHome stuff seems to commonly be ESP based
I've been burned before though
I mean, magic home is completely local only and works great now with the improved flux intergration.. don't really call that being burned lol
Well I just strongly prefer tasmota
But yeah, at least it's local
Used 3 pack for $21
Tempting
the older version of these bulbs are 8266
Hawt
the only reason I strongly believe these newer ones are esp32 cause they also have ble
I stated earlier i wasn't going to pop the top off on one just yet lol
Look up the MAC addr of one at https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html
You said they have an ESP32 😂
Why you gotta play me like this
my older ones are

Limited milage on $25
interesting these are risc-v chips
so these are clones of the esp32?
Probably not?
this is what the one bulb has https://www.bouffalolab.com/bl602
Hard to say without seeing the module
The WB3x line of modules are non-ESP but are pin compatible with the ESP-12 (ESP8266)
I've done about 20 transplants with those
I dunno sounds like these new chips might actually be flashable at some point
this is why I never flashed my originals to esp or tas cause I knew one day I would be putting myself into a corner lol
that and I couldn't reach the gpio 0 without becoming mr fantastic
dunno how that is a question mark
@scenic radish , can always reach the gpio 0 because he IS mr fantastic
cept it's his third arm that is able to reach it
i will say the range and wifi stablity on these newer ones is way better than my originals
I will never recover from what you did to me
I have blue balls now
"hey guys, these bulbs have ESP32"
hours later
"so I lied"
how about you invest more time in getting the esp32 with risc-v supported then you can flash the buffalou ones
i just ran across a post from someone going down that very rabbit hole lol
Yeah, I saw something about that. Pretty crazy
It is supported
With Tasmota at least
that post was alittle bit older, said neither was
so if tasmota supports it then buy them and give them a try
ESP32 with RISC-V (ESP32-C3 and variants) is supported
it stated on that spec sheet they are flashable.. although don't know about that efuse thing since it lists that it has that as well
The non-ESP module you're talking about isn't
the git post I ran across talked about flashing those chips with the esp32 -c or whatever
since it's a clone
your the mad scientist here not me, make it werk!
Make the post I wanted to read
oh well gl with that, lets see if it's shows in the history lol
https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/1049 that is one of them, don't know if that was the one where the dude tried flashing it tho
here is a whole vs page about it. https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/pinecone
guess we call them pinecones
So it looks like Arduino support is (almost?) there which is a first step
see bright light at the end of the tunnel
Sure, but tasmota still isn't flashable on them like you said 🤣
i never said it was tas flashable. I just said I thought they were esp32 lol
yea tediore.. doooo it!
you have many supporters
and i wasn't 100% wrong, it is a esp32 clone lol
Oh nvm, I misread something you said
did you misread us, basicly begging you for new firmware that would work on these new chips?
me love you long time
but but but....
you may not have much of a choice as long as these other options are cheaper
so thrilled magichome implemented the local api
you don't even have to make an account, you just pick local only mode when setting up the bulbs in the app lol
oh word
i still need to flash that other rgbw strip controller i just got
and the s31's
ive been lazy
@clear ferry why don't you have this yet? https://youtu.be/YhZUxtxjujA
This is the basics done. I've still got to line up some of the lyrics more accurately to the mouth movements.
Sequenced on xLights and using a Falcon F16v3 controller.
Well that's why I do transplants
yea but your running out of donor options
i should order more silentcare bulbs now before they change
Not really. The WB3x line of modules is still popular
isn't that what tuya uses?
i wish silent care had a 15w model
One of them at least
I didn't think those were supported
They're not; that's why I said transplant
oh i misunderstood what you were putting down
And I think I misunderstood what you said about donor options 😄
seems like a lot of work just to run tasmota
It's pretty quick and fun, at least on the devices I've done it on
Hot air gun makes it E Z P Z
EW
I'm pretty set with the devices I've stocked up on
lol you got a pantry full of smart bulbs huh?
I've got some...spares
Not quite as many as others I know though lol
You looking for BR30s by any chance @jade tartan ?
not really
i need more glowy, all around
not as much directional
Yeah, BR30s are typically used with recessed lights
My office which is in the basement has five 6" can lights. I've got RGB-CCT BR30s flashed with Tasmota in there controlled by a Martin Jerry dimmer also flashed with Tasmota via device groups
Tasmota device groups are the shit
lol martin jerry.. such a funny name
Jartin Merry
so do you disco in your office?
Absolutely
I couldn't have rgb bulbs inside the house. it would lead me to me falling down stairs or something
One sec
i want disco mode for all rgb's in the house
also i wana be able to flash a certain light, a certain color when a event triggers
you know, tas needs better rgbw features and shit
was that during a work zoom meeting?
wtf do you mean by fancy? they all do the same stuff
like, what about fading up
and down
and making them all fade on in sequence
or like flash them on events
or like disco mode
Fading on and off is already built in to tas
MORE FEATURES
sync with music
and like automaticly switching color balance to cool white in morning
and soft after sunset
you could stick wled on it
Yeah, I think some of that stuff is out of scope for tas
the firmware is limited to whatever your bulb can do
Also already possible
LOOK
And something I do
cannot be lazy and expect to move up in the IT field
to be completely honest
i dont wana
lolololol
im fine exactly where i am
not having to make sure critical systems run correctly
just that the lines tone out
@tidal bronze you still alive and with an unlooted home?
love that - pokemon - why not step outside. Nearby shots fired! lol
go outside to get shot 😉 Evil Pokemon
Hi. I am looking for outside temp sensor , no matter BLE or zigbee but i couldn't find nothing interesting so far... Any ideas ?
#hardware-archived you mean 
Fun fact for you
There is a Norwegian dish called kleppmelk
Which literally translates to chunky milk
🤢
Like Swedish Fil then
Bilfil
i agree, seat massage is nice
The dough part looks like dumplings from chicken and dumplings. Milk and dumplings.

Does anyone know if there are bulk deals on pi 0s? I've found that I have so many ideas but I want to do all of them instead of pick and choose 😛
Lots of cheap ones on AliExpress
I'll have to check it out, have you had good experience with AliExpress? I'm a bit apprehensive with foreign shipping sometimes. Lost things/super delays.
I have a couple of hundred orders on AliExpress per year
I would say yes

I've had two or three packages not arrive
And always get money back
Usually 12-16 days to Norway outside of holidays
That's good to hear, I’ve not ordered from them before.
are they the same soc ?
I am surprised because on amazon and all of our local pi reseller, can't find any b3 b3+ or 4 ... and the price on ebay are jacked up.
I ended up buying 2 from my boss that didn't need them.
If you are not in a hurry, zero 2 w are around the corner, with more power.
I am slowly replacing my zero with full size right now because they don't handle the load :(
@clear ferry you’re talking about pi knock offs like orange pi etc not actual pis correct?
I have two zero 2 w so far.. hard to get even at microcenter. I have one running Hyperion pretty smoothly
what's hyperion ? i'm finding some ios desing tool on google
Ignore not perfect colors. I was testing in that snippet
i want some only to be able to deploy my config on them in less than 20mn :(
Saltstack don't like very small node
I've ordered three pi zero from AliExpress, never had issues with them
My intention was also Hyperion,but haven't finished the project yet
I run arduino behind tv driving leds and raspi controlling them
With android Hyperion grabber on nvidia shield
Maybe he just likes eating his own barf 😂

Maybe aside from hass cloud ...
maybe ...
i mean, there is no other way to support Hass... so i pay for it and don't bother using it...
I'll check for the song
That's special and because i don't know the artist i don't know how much it's acting vs real
Well
If you don't know tom waits
You have a lot of listening to do
He has a... Persona, but a very interesting one
He played in Dracula too, the one with Keanu Reeves
it's a very unique style, very dark, but also lite.
I like the idea, don't know if it's a good time for it tho
His album Closing time is one of my favourite ever
It is very different from his other albums
i'll add it to the list of "to check out when the mood get better".
I have a couple of dark film in this to, so i know i'll definitely get back to it.

I go to work with the same bunch of pony shirt i bough when i was in school just because they are colorful... shame nolonger hit me XD
pony shirt?
fu*k me it was 8y ago already
you can curse on the internet
how many children do you know with a smart home?
i use to bough 3 a month ... i have so many of them and they fit well ... so why the heck would i buy new cloth
none ... true
the only discord server i've had issues with cursing in is drzzs but i think that's due to the mormon vibes
some super strange folks there
i googled mormon ... i shouldn't have
change the topic please
lol
i like to learn, but i should know googling random word from discord might lead to horrible discovery
We don't have the bot that drzzz has here that delete your posts if you write something that can even sound like a swearword and warns you no

more fun to do it manually
It even caught my northern English shoite
news flash... do not google random phrases you read on the internet
you might forever be changed by the knowledge bestowed upon thee
Yes, rule 34 homekit will forever haunt me
like become one of use who spends 2k on their network alone and 4k on their home automation
i ... didn't need to know this was a thing ...
darn...
at least with Matter, Homekit is a master and HA is a master
i run my homelab since 2016 ... i'm already corrupted
I've been running my homelab since 1997
i was born in 97
I just replaced the last of my wifi hardware with wifi6
won't do it yet, because i don't have any device.
But i'm waiting for my country to approuve 6e frequency
IoT is still almost all 2.4 anyway
I have nothing that uses 6e, but I have a few devices that use 6
i was told to not waste my time with 6 and go straight to 6e
the rest are on thread
silly to limit yourself on spectrum no?
i mean, you are an HP(e) dude, you have to be waaaaay old :P
@hollow glacier triband mesh
wifi cameras on one 5 ghz band
wifi camera Oo
iot on 2.4 or thread
poor wifi
rest on the other wifi 5ghz band
I am not allowed to punch holes in the wall in this apartment 😦
i only have a 2 band AP ... the old unifi one... so my 5ghz is squiky clean
sure you are.. you just patch them before you leave lol
drywall repair is easy but i know what you mean
brick apartment?!
the big bad wolf would've hated to come there
ya but you have wired backhaul from ap.. he said mesh lol
old unifi, sooo UNIFI SHD?
shd isnt that old...
and a weird one to pick
with its own security radio or w/e
it may as well be with its useless security radio
iirc it's also like $500?
$550 last time I checked
i mean, the new craze here are straw house ...
1k clients in theory
yes
i doubt unifi controller could handle that shit
Uap AC PRO, 3 of them
in my mind, mesh mean hot handover ... but i never had this working either
unifi mesh has issues lol
next house, i'll buy the good stuff
but right now, i just clicked by mistake on the update buton of my 10GB backbone switch
it's 11am, and i was going to bed ....
fu*k
and before soft bricked
since i've fiddled with the management vlan ... probably yea
from what little i've read, wifi 6 and ofdma can make meshing suck less
but i havent looked into it that much
wpa3 helps a bit
this is my poor man's unifi setup
couldnt justify/afford rack tax on a big poe switch
it would look different if money weren't an issue
would be ok wifi unifi except they had a nutjob head of everything and extorted the company, while they were pushing their cloud login crap hard
man that shit is hilarious
the guy who LITERALLY RAN CLOUD couldnt even setup a deadman's switch if vpn disconnected
and instead leaked his wan ip
like man
you can go on github and find tons of repos with this done for you
look internet is back ! i didn't broke it to much !
and yet he diy'd it and that was his downfall
like unifi protect is yeas behind already of what it was supposed to be
apparently his inet went down and leaked wan ip from his surfshark vpn which was then traceable to his fuckin paypal
like bruh
i run and like protect.. it's not frigate but it's good enough
I also run and like it but a lot of false promises
it's bs what they did with EoL'ing unifi video
oh yah, we will use that usb port for something nice
only those who smell atx's farts don't run frigate
Yes, 37 
i thought hpe were jet engines with shit parts and lots of proprietary funziez to boot?
thank god the unifi protect app works with wireguard now
don't forget timebomb for BBU
i never put my unifi on the cloud, and never will ... safty first
hpe is the same as hp just the electric version
since i have a e208 car ... i am not happy with that joke XD
FU atx, it's a good little car
the manufacturer suck ... but the car is fun
i love it 😍
There is a Norwegian saying, never buy cars that start with F, Fiat, Ford and French
🤣
Stellantis est un groupe automobile multinational fondé le 16 janvier 2021 résultant de la fusion du groupe PSA et de Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Le groupe Stellantis exploite et commercialise quatorze marques automobiles dont cinq issues du Groupe PSA (Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel, Peugeot et Vauxhall) et dix issues de FCA (Abarth, Alfa Romeo, ...
that is quite the list of no no car
those cars always reminds me of that scene in the movie love potion #9 with the Italian car manufacture ceo
Alta Fazolli was the name
i like the idea that there is a RAM car brand...
ford fusion or fiesta
best car if you want to go kill yourself but have no idea when and where it will happen
just soon
i got myself and 6 other friends in a rented fiesta one time
nice :) keeping the surprise
@forest edge upgraded subs and running corrections since last night 😆
this was the older fiesta hatchback tho
Don't know anything about smash and grab
what do you mean running corrections? that an audio term?
Gotta be perfect
nothing like having a wheel randomly locking up on the freeway
oh I thought maybe you meant the state was running low on authority officers and had to resort to deputizing citizens to help handle all the crimminals that been running loose
You know more about Cali all day
news is news.. I don't make it lol
Hmmm
hmm what.. not my fault you apparently don't own a tv and only hear of whats going on around you from the mailman once in awhile
Life is peaceful that way.
honestly with the sheer amount of shit going on in that state.. I would chuck my tv out as well or move to a diffrent state lol
Nothing is happening for all I know. Then again I spend all my time at home the 2 or 3 days I am here.
lol
Driven only 980 miles this year
just watched that glitterbomb 4.0 video where they placed the majority of the one's they made in SF cause it's the package theft capital of the country
yet insurance is still $100 a month
I've had to clear cobwebs from my center console the two times I got in my truck this year
82 flights though. 😆
f that
you know when a public airplane retains your ass print on the same seat you know you visit it too much
uh you realize where you live that's 24/365 right? lol
so it sounds like if you have had the two vaccine shots then omicron will be kind of like eating at an authentic mexican restraunt and being alittle careless with the hot sauce
Gods want you dead for being a dumbass and not seeing the sign to take the ram vax
i dont encounter male sheep really very often
and the vax i'd have against them, is a 12 gauge
strangely on topic though, talking about sheep that is..
I'm soon starting a fire at our house, i bought around 600 thrown away laptop batteries to salvage the individual cells out of it for my power wall
Hope you’ve got a fire extinguisher handy 😂
(If any work on lion/ lipo batteries)
i got a bucket of sand and a fire extinguisher
had done around 600 cells prior with no incidents besides the one i forced to happen on purpose
i wanna scale it up to 100kWh+ with a 3.95v-3.4v range
what are you running that full pack at?
its hella time consuming tho
i got each pack for 1€ each averaging 8-9 cells
i have about 4800 cells to test
its risky, agreed
but thats where sand gets in handy
did some arson tests and it works like a charm
i was just thinking buying wrecked EV batterys
that works aswell, try to go for LFP to be on the safe side, as those dont really burn
ORRRR
i try to buy land with eather a natural gas well on it
OR
a river that doesnt freeze
Eww fossil fuels
the key thing is free
i personally dont care if i burn tires to power my power
cause i couldnt cause 1/100th the polution in my life that some corps put out in 1 month
getting power out of a slow moving river might be a challenge
the best thing would be to divert a small narrowing portion to sink a turbine into a pipe so the fast moving water through the pipe would get you something
saw a dude using a long hose witha heavty drop to power a washing machine ripped apart and repurposed as a generator
out here - the river is likely to dry up - not freeze.
or be 50 foot deep in the same year!
i mean, if your feeling zesty, and big power lines go over your property, you could throw up some inductance coils around them to siphon off some for yourself
dont even have to be around them - just near them.
the magnetic field should extend quite a way from the high power lines
i feel like i read an article once of a farmer doing that
you wouldnt download power would you?
bet the article was about him getting in trouble for it lol
in theory it would be easy. Have a coil on top of my caravan and park under the line. Move on before they can find me lol
i mean, in reality, how can you be held liable for anything
if the waves are essentially being broadcast
I bet they would have an argument for that, but yes they are broadcast so should be free - just like Nikolas Tesla was trying to do - and they stopped him from achieving it.
i cant wait to hear their arguement in court, lol
i want that shit publicly televised
heheeh it would be a really great to be a fly on the wall there !
i honestly think it should kinda be at the discression of the private party's involved, but like if im in court and WANT the news in the court room, i should be allowed that
yes, but guess you have to be able to bribe the judge into allowing or stopping it.
then yho are a corporation!
tbf, you really only need a family member and a gun.....
mmmmwwwwaahahahahaahahahaha
heheeh yup!
ugh, i want a decent tv for a wall mount monitor
I just want a decent TV
i mean if i found a decent main tv i could use the current one for the wall
that means you are going to have to do some shopping!! lol
what do you class as decent?
picky, i'd have to see it
matte screen, 4k, something decent for not crazy expensive
i refuse to spend 1000 on a tv
thinking like 600 ish max
for a 55-65
Thats curious, cos I thought that US got luxuries cheaper than AU. Looks like its evening out lol
the us is legit getting cancerous inflation
like
if a company can jack up it's prices right now, they are, and it's complete bullshit
well the US is suffering under a 73 trillion dollar debt! The bubble will burst soon
lets hope it doesnt lose me my job at all, and lets hope it enables me to buy a house right as the market shits so i get it cheap
you missed the boat at the GFC - houses in US were going for like$3000 or $4000! I would have bought one if it wasnt for a little thing like needing a green card lol
i want to buy land
ideally i'd like 20-40 acres
and i'd throw a trailer on and then build something later
in the area i live in that can be anywhere from like 30-100k
for just the bare undeveloped land
then power and water is like 10-20k depending how you do it, and then a used trailer of some kind is like 20k
Land sounds cheap for that sort of acreage, but the other stuff is about the same as us. Instead of putting power on, what about fully off grid?
gotta be cheaper than letting the scumbag power companies get their hooks into you?
depends on ALOT
land ranges in price by location
we have alot of snow
so we need mains power really
i saw recently a plot that was like 87 acres for 100k
I would say - time to move to warmer climates lol
it might be nice to visit -0 but I certainly wouldnt want to live in it - would end up feeling like an eskimo 😉
or a penguin!
0c is not the same as 0f so I think you are refering to 0f
sorry the -0 is my fingers on this laptop keyboard
0c is freaking cold and not a normal temp unless you are in alaska
I agree zero degrees is freaking cold - but you guys get it even colder brrrr
I mean we get spurts, but it's not something that normally lasts
........ rethink that
I class anything below 15C as cold. That translates to 59F
From down under, huh?
yup
🙃
from our perspective 😉
which way do your toilets spin
same way our sinks do !
My toilet stays still
and boathtubs
If yours is spinning, I'd call a plumber
bathtubs*
im the plumber
so no please fucking god dont let their be an issue
i dont want to have to fix anything
Plumber? I HARDLY KNOW 'ER!
it's better that way, no child support
lol
Go away, chip shortage
yea i had it backwards
and come back more expensive than ever!
No wonder you moved from Melbourne 🤣
lol - lived there for at least 10 years and in Vic for a lot longer than that - definitely time for a change and to thaw out.
And I’m moving to Canberra. Where it gets even fucking colder 😂
I hate the cold too
buy land in an area with good wind & sun coverage
wind (in germany) is about twice as strong during winter as during summer and in summer, you have more sun than wind
-2 to -10 in Canberra
So quite cold for australia
i want those temps aswell
-35 inland is nothing though compared to -12 coast
Isn't that when you norwats gestate into something..... else...
necrophilia's you say?
Hi
Hi
Hi
How's it going?
You are all bloody mad! I suspect your brains are frozen! 😉

Is that a Jojo reference?

I hear if you ping everyone three times in a row a fuzzy Raccoon will appear in your home
What about mødz then
Don’t tempt @last cedar 

Ooof @last cedar
fuel price
It's power price
net price I can make out, but not sure what gjennom would have been without context
Anyone of y’all ever wonder what stuff in your electrical panel is?
Ouchies
I'm glad I don't own three EVs like a customer of mine
Sorry. I am slow today. Lots of doormat stealing last night

We were selling you electric today
We have wind power over
I absolutely love that we have power over
But can't we have 100% of consumption covered by nuclear and then anything we have more than that can be sold or we cut back on nuclear use?
nucler is rather slow when changing its output wattage, it cant cover all energy ussage anyway
There must be a record of how much was used each minute yesterday, that should be what they can put out
Other methods can give them their ability to lag behind demand
Hello
Can I brag about my new raccoon doormat tracking app, that gives all the raccoons the chance to track and steal more doormats?
addiction smh
you could start to sell the doormat in another city to not raise suspicion and buy food & shelter for your raccoons and their family
is anyone using HA cloud? I registered a new account yesterday but I can't login via the RemoteUI (https://account.nabucasa.com). Is there another way I'm supposed to access my NabuCasa cloud instance?
@haughty vector #cloud-archived would be your best bet for a response 😉
thanks, trying there too
@sour arch hi lol
I had a brief moment to contemplate putting HA on an old laptop... till I realized it was a 32 bit chip and was slower than rpi 3b
Did you find the laptop in a time capsule from 2004?
I think it may have been 2004/2005 when i bought it lol
2006 version had a 64 bit t5200 but this turd has the t1350
yes you know your turds well.. you do work with H.. well you know
I have a pretty savant mindset
blew the 8 inches of dust off it and dumped xubuntu on it. gonna use it as shitter laptop at my moms so I don't have to use my phone to mess with stuffs
@forest edge it could be a good batch processor or for monitoring other stuff that doesnt need to be fast! Your imagination is the limit lol
It is a bogroll
@last cedar 766øre tomorrow
Helvette
how much is that in real money and is it per kWh?
Looks like 15.5637 USD if the google is working
Per kWh
This is pretty nice https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/Market-data1/Dayahead/
0,89 dollars
Yes
Per kWh
So expensive
So tomorrow it'll be ~0.4€ while my contract with taxes included is 0.04€. Big F for the company
It’s funny to me that you guys know how much you pay for electricity. To me it is a necessity and I just pay the bill. Of course we try to save where we can but …. I wonder if the cost fluctuates though?
The price per hour does fluctuate
But it doesn't meaan you pay a fluctuating price :)
In the US also?
I pay a fixed price per kWh
Ours have always been like this
If you set up your contract that way
That’s how some people ended up with tens of thousands of electricity bill in Texas last winter
🤷🏼♂️. Every time we have moved, just call the electric company and tell them to turn it on. I am sure I signed something but …. Who would read such nonsense 🤣
Kinda like software agreements…..you need electricity….
Makes me curious now….may look into it
Yea, I have lived in electric only houses
Same with gas though…..call the gas company and tell them to turn it on.
I have both natural gas and electric in my current home
Electricity in general is a lot cheaper here than the US so it's pretty rare circumstances right now
I have a annual contract. Price fixed for that period then I can renew at the 12 month period for the price at that point
When electricity was super cheap last year a lot of people swapped to "market price" contracts meaning they are now paying 10-30x the normal rates
Our prices are currently 930% above the norm
They are using your electric bill to pay for your free medical 🤣

I just asked the wife…..she said the same thing. 🤷🏼♂️, we need electricity, I pay it.
How?
You don't have free market competition for electricity?
By getting a better deal
