It’s going to be running in line with the pre-existing mains power cable/ link too so probably not a bad idea from interference issue too
It's easy to pull fiber, I've pulled fiber with two socks and a vacuum
Was slow, but Worked
Though honestly thinking just a 2<->2 link between the two, linking to a good quality switch inside the house to take the fibre into copper & separately from nbn to fibre
Easy but gotta love australias archaic cabling rules
Lol straya
From a manufacturing perspective indoor fibre patch style cables are incredibly cheap
Just don’t get caught basically
Copper is hard and expensive
Materials for the terminations are dirt cheap too
Assembly is the only real cost
Is there a way to have fibre come out of a wall socket, or do you somehow have to do fibre -> RJ45 in the wall?
If you want to see expensive look at expanded optical connectors
i just linked keystones for fiber above, they exist
Keystones are not wall jacks though I thought
$$$$$$
Looks professional stuff
Keystones is just a formfactor for modules
So you can get LC, RJ45, RCA keystones etc etc
yep
If you have had Telstra install a socket at some point in the 2000s you'd see these Krone plates
That's keystone
Yeah so would have to replace the wall plate with a keystone one then
I'd use a surface mount
Ohh I think I’ve actually seen one of those here actually
That a type of keystone jack?
It's an alternative to a plate
The point being the fibre doesn't come out perpendicular to the wall
Ahh like the old Foxtel connectors
yeah that's a good plus to it
Since it is fragile and has a large bend radius
Makes sense
Is this going into a rack
At the moment just learning about it
Basic rules are
Cable runs never go directly to equipment. Always an intermediatery termination
On both ends
Don't kink it, don't yank it,
And you'll want something to protect it when it's running around your roof or whatever
Split conduit like you'd find in your engine bay can work
Why’s that? In case things break?
Don't kink shame my cables
But yeah makes sense otherwise
Basically you can't really tie it off with cable ties to nail clips in your rafters like you could with cat6
And random trades or whatever in your roof etc
Although if you're using an "outdoor" cable that's got enough protection
Outdoor doesn't mean underground though, keep that in mind
There special underground cables?
Gel filled etc
Ant proof sheathing
Yes that's not a joke
Made to basically be in contact with water full time
Which a cable across a catenary or up a wall in conduit isn't
Ants are a menace at times
Don't talk about @scenic radish that way
He is helping @fathom sparrow move to #449717345808547842
Ewww ground fiber patch holes
Manholes
Disgusting
And pits are superior to poles you savage
Disagree
I'll have @scenic radish unleashTheMarketingDude on you
Only if they contain nbn fibre and that’s it 😋
Utility poles are for backwards third world countries like Norway
That guy is a proper see you next Thursday @fathom sparrow
oh yea
Nah their ground is too frozen to allow them to put it there 😛
I promise you no utility would preference poles over underground when all things are equal
I need to redo my retic pits
The one good gardening shop is like 40 minutes away each way though
Everywhere else is like double the price for pits
MY DATA!
how realistic is that 300ft 2.4Ghz range on wireless? anyone have anything that far or even further that remained stable?
Off the shelf, not very. With a little effort, quite possible (at least line of sight)
lol 237, i know point to point will do it but talking about the average device with built in antenna
Possible, under ideal or near ideal conditions
300 ft through a forest, not so much
300 ft of open air between you and the AP, sure
It should
You may find that performance is underwhelming
I'd not rely on it working, not without testing in the location in question
the speed drop over that distance is something I didn't think about
As the signal strength drops off so will the speed
I've done wireless over fjords
20 years ago
Free line of sight, no issues
Except when it rained
Or snowed
i have a clear los, but it's a camera I am wanting to put at that range so it's got me concerned
Without external antenna on it? Unlikely
it does have an xternal antenna
Maybe?
directional wifi antennas here in the states aren't exactly cheap so was hoping to avoid that extra expense
For a camera feed, you're likely going to find this painful
These are the kind I'm used to
I did this in 2001
Seagulls tried killing me a few times
Had average of about 5Mbit if memory serves right
yea those antennas are well over 100
Enough for a gym filled with 350 nerds
by the time i factor in the antenna cost etc it about the same price as the 4g version of the same camera lol
But WiFi is free once set up, and 4G ain't
You say that, but in muuuuuuurica
It probably is
For the first 3mb
And then if someone trips inside the 4g coverage area
You get sued
Better get that 4g tripping insurance
😂
Just in case
in my setup the wifi would be connecting to a 4g router lol
but the wifi version of the same camera is half the price
one of these days I am going record a video of me setting that up and at the end i'll say something like, now let's see if this works and show the monitor bringing up the camera feed pointing a piece of paper that read go f yourself atx
send me a 1k and 500ft of solid copper cat5e and you won't be waiting long
cheap and cheap enough to just do for the luls is two diffrent things

@forest edge don't hear or see any of the stuff you post 😆
leave your bubble once in awhile and you will lol
making a mad dash to the airport to fly as far away from cali as possible does not count
@forest edge I think you are California jealous heck I thought you where a farm hand but you didn’t know what a pto was
@tidal bronze at least you there is no way I could deal with cali
Btw I bought a damn 700 dollar battery chainsaw you should be proud
lol not my fault you took pictures of your painted nails and called it a PTO
Cough bullshit
Well I just tested the wifi range using two pixel 3's with one as hotspot. Showed half signal strength

We don't normally use webuis

What is the version of software you are running?
12.2(55)SE7 I assume it's ancient
And I don't intend to actually use the web interface. Just needed to do the initial setup
Pretty sure 15 branch is the latest for 2960
If that was the one you ended up getting
jup, it's the Catalyst2960
I'm not going to seriously use it. Just to test some stuff with management interfaces
so I barely care. From what my admin said, it's hard to get the firmware without an active subscription to citrix either way
Which exact model?
WS-C2960-24PC-L

oh, the switch moses used on his network
Straya
If you look closely you can tell they wired in solenoid 1 first before anything else
You can tell whoever did it should stick to garden hose
To be fair Hunter is as much to blame for making a system like that
Especially considering how much they charge they can afford to put in a simpler better terminal strip
That because of the stretched insulation?

99.96% certainly a bot, but not enough for intervention. Feel free to press that red button, though.
Rust
They had rust on their phillips screwdriver, most likely from unscrewing the old retic controller they replaced
The rust deposits on the screw terminals when they tighten up the wires on 1 etc, and seeds further rust
More gets deposited as it goes 1>2>3 etc until there is less left on their screwdriver
Moral of the story is clean your tip after you put it somewhere dirty
Sounds like a life tip not just a installer tip lol
But that makes a lot of sense
hey all, any Linux gurus around for some help with an issue I have
ive spent all day on it and cannot fix it, been down google rabbit holes all day and need a 2nd brain
Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.
When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:
- What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
- What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
- Is the problem uniform or erratic?
- What's the exact error message?
- When did it arise?
- What exactly don't you "get"?
- Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?
not HA related, linux Virtual machine the OS drive is mounting "read Only" and subsequently causes services to fail to start due to no write permissions. If i run "mount -a /dev/sde2 /" it mounts after it has booted to RW, i then run init 1; init 3 and the services all start successfully. The issue is everytime i reboot it goes back to read only requiring the manual commands above. I have tried FSCK (no issues found), tried a 2nd VM and mounted the Disk to it and ran FSCK (No issues)
- Check
/etc/fstab - Check
dmesgto see what's going on at boot
checking 1 min
the 1st #UUID was the original line which as it has errors=remount-ro i tried creating the 2nd line with "defaults"
doesnt help

You should prob be asking in the OpenMediaVault discord. It is more than likely a UI setting that can be changed. I haven’t done OpenMediaVault for a hot minute but remember issues along these lines.
anyone know the discord for OMV?
I Googled and found https://openmediavault.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support.html for you
thanks guys
what do you use @clear ferry as a NAS OS?
I ran Debian from 2003-2012, then a horrible qnap from 2012 to 2017, and free/truenas from 2017-2021
Now I'm back full circle at Debian
Zfs for my main pools, looking at moving the smaller pools to mergerfs+snapraid
Kvm and docker for virtualization
I hope you are on sid 🙂
ive been using omv4 then 5 with passthrough disks to VM as ext4 with snapraid
I am finding everytime I have a hard drive big disk failure, snapraid is useless and I end up with major issues overall with omv
thats very lucky, I think ive had 5 over the last 8 years
and everytime my alleged resillience with snapraid fails to restore to a new disk
I've migrated my main zfs pool three times too
I just want something whereby when a disk fails, i can physically swap it out and it rebuilds
does zfs pool work well for this?
Zfs is great
so debian with ZFS is your setup
I like OMV as it has portainer / dockers for the automation downloads etc
Portainer 
Docker Compose 
Do you have notifs for anytime someone says Portainer XD
Also, screw TP LINK routers, terrible firmware
Trying to block my Tuya devices from the internet so I can control them just through Local Tuya, parental controls simply do not work.. at all
I use pfsense VM as a router
You can do that?
Like if I setup pfsense in VM on my main PC connected by ethernet which is usually on 24/7 I could just use that as a router?
yea absolutely
Huh, I always thought you needed a dedicated PC or some hardware that you werent using
Ill def look into that
I use a Dell T20 Xeon server as my main server which has a 4 port Intel PCI NIC
I use port 1 as the "WAN" port from the ADSL Modem
add your adsl username and password in Pfsense and boom it connects
I have a regular gaming MOBO, you think itll have more than 2 ports?
usually motherboards have 1 NIC port
but you can add a PCI card with 4 ports no problem
go Intel for compatibility
Well HA in hyper-v runs on its own IP and shows up as a seperate device in my router
could i theoretically do the same for PfSense
depends on your broadband equipment really
Ill just dabble with it, see what happens aha, could I use my current router as an AP for wifi assuming I got it up and running?
mine is a BT (UK) white modem which has an ethernet port on it, that patches to port 1 on my 4 port NIC and I then binded that in the VM in hyperv to pfsense as Pfsense to WAN
then port 2 = Pfsense to LAN
pppoe
I'd probably have to connect my modem ethernet to my PC, setup pfsense and then get a separate ethernet card to use router as AP im guessing
Wait! I have an old PC lying around, might just turn that into a PfSense machine and then use my current (expensive) router as a WIFI AP and switch
Its only got 1 ethernet port but I could grab a network card for cheap im sure
I assume this old piece of junk PC doesnt even support 2.5Gb so 1Gb will do aha
actually im pretty sure my modem only supports 1Gb anyway aha
Oh, actually i do have a sketchy USB to Ethernet adapter and besides local transfers, my crappy aussie internet is capped at 100Mb anyway ahahaha so that might be another option 🤔
Might have to dabble with that
This is the sensible way
I have an old PC lying around, fuck it imma just dabble with it and see what happens, worst case I resort back to my current setup
Oh, im assuming PfSense will let me easily block internet access to certain devices whilst still allowing them on the network? specifically Wifi devices connected to the router as an AP, or would I need a wifi card of some sort connected to the pfsense computer itself
One NIC if you are desperate
ignoring speeds, USB to Ethernet adapter will work?
No, *sense is the edge device, you block anything on the edge
I would never run usb to Ethernet no
Then rather use vlans
Why exactly no USB?
judging from this tut video this is essentially what i would be setting up
using my current router as a wifi AP and switch
Usb to Ethernet is... Flaky at best, its fine for connecting a laptop to a cabled network or doing troubleshooting
The chipsets are usually not great for bsd either
What about just for tinkering? I can get a gigabit ethernet card for 18$ soon as long as I know my setup all works
Realtek are no longer quite the dumpster fire of the past
Still not a great choice for bsd
Or anything really
make sure you buy an INTEL NIC PCI card
Intel, Broadcom, and many others
Doesn't have to be Intel, but Intel are good bets
the OS is fussy with chipsets so doubt tplink will be detected
And pro 1000 is cheap
How would a VLAN work if I can only connect the modem to the router PC?
hyperv virtual switch
i use a tplink 8 port smart switch which has poe and vlan support
i then tag the traffic in HyperV virtual switch with powershell commands
No my point is I need modem connection to get internet, I cant then use the same physical ethernet cable to connect to my current router as a WiFi/Switch
Sure you can
That is how vlans work
Especially VLAN trunks/tags
You can have 4095 vlans on one cable
I know how VLANs work, I still need physical connections between the 2 devices..?
I VLAN tag my CCTV network / LAN etc but i use physical connections
1 cable from BT modem to port 1 and port 2 on the nic is to the LAN switch
patch all of your devices in to your big switch
pfsense webgui create 2 zones and map to each interface (physical)
pfsense to WAN
pfsense to LAN
port 1 / port 2
With a managed switch
Where
Between modem and old router and pfsense
Between the modem and everything else.
So, everywhere
Modem to managed switch untagged vlan 200, old router to managed switch untagged VLAN 300, pfsense nic to managed switch tagged VLAN 200/300, two virtual interfaces in pfsense tagging each respective vlan
Yes
Ok well in that case id just get an extra NIC lol
exactly
im talking about tinkering with it tonight, imma just use USB to Ethernet
i got mine from ebay from a parts seller in the IT Industry, it was like 25 quid for a HP Intel 4 port nic
speed is not an issue right now as aussie internet is slow and i dont transfer data local often if at all
I don't feel like scrolling; can't the old router be the managed switch too?
but when we do get gig fibre then I have the dedicated interface for it
Perhaps, maybe, depends, wouldn't do it
but then I couldnt use it as WiFi AP??
pre pfsense I used a TPLINK c7 then flashed it with DDWRT and it was always unstable on every build
that was my driver to move to pfsense and I converted the tplink with ddwrt into a AP only
soon to be replaced with a Ubiquiti
I would flash mine but no one supports Archer AX6000
if you can find suitable firmware hit me up lol
otherwise yeah ideally I want to move to all Ubiquiti
I haven't used a consumer router in 21 years, so my experience is limited
Yeah, ok. I wouldn't expect that to be possible with stock tp link firmware...
At least if it's anything like when I used them last.
Eventually when I am not renting and can have a server room etc I will probs setup OpnSense/PfSense and dedicated switches and Ubiquiti APs
Ew
Ubiquiti
omg -.- theres always someone who doesnt like something aha
Is your green face button broken, atx?
🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢
There we go

what would you recommend, Ubiquiti seems like the tits #LinusTechTips lol
Ew Linus
I only have a few Ubiquiti APs, but I really like them. Solid as a rock.
Nothing has changed I bet aha, no matter how much you spend on the hardware, the software is trash -.-
Saw that coming lol
OK everyone, in plainest english possible tell me your network setups aha
The biggest issue with ubiquiti is their shitty morals and milking of "prosumers"
wires that carry bits
and sometimes without wires
Which one? My production wired, my lab wired, my production wireless, my lab wireless, or my SDN stack? 
Ok less plain english than that aha, i am studying networking at uni I can handle a bit more aha
Some chinese SBC which happened to have four NICs running pfsense under proxmox (used to run lots of other stuff too, but it's single purpose now), a switch, two APs.
Fancaay, your most used one, and then any differences from the rest
Some VLANs for guests (no network access) and IOT (no internet access) mapping to separate SSIDs.
This sound about as much as I would need aha, id just scale up the switch depending on how many wired connections I need and add APs depending on size of house, in Australia probably very small
Yes this, this sounds like what i want aha
Ironic how your internet of things have no internet
As of now tho, with either my flaky USB adapter (or later a dedicated PCIe NIC) ill probably just setup this old PC as a PfSense machine and use my expensive router as a AP and switch
Production wired is 2x5900AF in core, plus a 2530GPOE for distribution, opnsense running on a HPE edgeline 300, lab wired is a selection of 6 different hpe/Cisco/extreme/comware switches, production wireless is Linksys velop mesh, lab wireless is 4xMSM466, SDN is a full stack of NSX-T peered to opnsense via BGP
Im sorry do you live in a business building or something aha, is that not overkill
what even is the purpose of your production and lab
helps to have cryogenic temperatures
you running websites from your home and tinkering with new things in your lab lmao
I've run websites from home since 1998
I was born in 1998 lmao
We got broadband in 1998
Also clearly overkill when 99% of the ports arent even being used 😛
You host your own website for your services im guessing, whenever someone with IT struggles cause you assist or consult and them money shows up in your bank
No, i host websites for lulz
And as needed
Also known as spinning up a container and doing a port map
How do you advertise your services, good ol business cards?
I don't
Or you actually work for some company?
Fairo, well glad you enjoy your job aha, not many people do
Nothing better than getting paid to play
Im currently studying bachelor of Computer Science majoring in Software Engineering, hoping to get into game development ideally but wouldnt just programming any old thing
And I just like tinkering on the side because i like making computers do exactly what i want them to do
which they never do XD
how do make live USB for OpnSense? wtf is bz2
File compression format
On linux, on Windows, on ...?
Windows, I have a linux lapto if that is easier
7zip will do it
Should I change IMG to ISO like it says?
It makes it easier
welp now im stuck just trying to get this old PC to boot lmao XD
turn it off and on again many times, works now lol
Oof, 4GB 1333MHz RAM, Intel i5 750 @ 2.67GHz, Some Sapphire ATI GPU
OMG this pc is so old it has an onboard speaker, OpnSense just played a little tune XD
You mean it invoked beep
always remember, if you aren't getting further with brute force, it's not enough force
we wanted to have our system play Bethoven's 5th via beep on signature verification error
But someone down the line sacked that idea =.= We even have an RC release that has that feature
I had a friend who used the internal iptele system to call his phone and play ride of the Valkyries whenever the SQL server crashed
hehe
Ok so I tinkered around with OpnSense, pretty nifty! Seems to work fine etc. (currently using it right now so I have internet connection :D) just missing some port forwards and IP reservations etc that I had setup on my current router
...but I went from 92Mb down to 2Mb... lmao, pretty sure its that USB adapter cause the onboard ethernet port shows 1000Mb full duplex.
However as a proof of concept it definitely seems to work! Havent tested using my old router as an AP / Switch but will give that ago later.
Now I am just going to try find a nice cheap intel NIC and boom, OpnSense router B)
That slow of a speed wouldnt be due to the somewhat slow PC?? Pretty sure its that adapter aha
Hello, i would like to report @rose crypt for scamming or trying to scam

i want to see how hard it is to reverse engineer a 433mhz protocol
That sounds like a terrible combination on so many levels
that bad, huh?
Reverse engineering? Probably not, the protocol, yes
433 has very few upsides these days
I still use some switches since I happen to have them, but I wouldn't bother unless you have/want to
im mainly going with sub ghz to avoid 2.4 interference
and our internet is already pretty slow
I honestly wouldn't worry about 2.4 interference
2.4ghz interference isn't really an issue unless you live in an apartment block

Nice
I left the industry for an electrical apprenticeship, which kinda helps with exploring automation
I gave up on school after vocational training, tried one year at college, didn't like it, did an exam and started my apprenticeship in ICT systems, so i hold two certification of apprenticeship, but no higher education
Started working 5+ years before all my friends though
Is certification of apprenticeship what you call your trade qualifications after finishing the apprenticeship?
Yes
kinda wish i did trades
but a few nice cars into debt, might as well finish the degree
Yeah in electrical, once we finish we get a supervisor licensed that lets us perform electrical installation, maintenance, and repair as well as supervise and train others in the above.
But yeah sticking with a tertiary degree helps you in certain types of companies to show that you stick with things for a few years. Means if they train you in their business they might make the money back
Thought about going back to school to do a bachelor or a master's
But I doubt I would gain any financial advantage from it
i read up on some people's attempts at reverse engineering the protocol and pretty much nothing has been done
but there is stuff you can put on a rooted wink hub to make it work with ha
not to mention it would be a whole new round of people throwing cans at you

It wasn't a 'correct the prof' thing, but they definitely knew some stuff

Heh. I've just noticed that someone has an open AP for a device called "livingroom speaker". What to do, what to do...?
Random cricket (insect) noises between 1 and 6 am?
I have a bunch of Unifi APs spread across 1/6/11 and an Arlo camera system that creates its own 2.4GHz network and tries to align on the channel with your existing 2.4Hz AP. It sees all my APs and invariably picks the channel in the middle (like 3)
dumbass
makes me think of those people who constantly switch out their routers/ap's claiming they came bad or went bad in short time all while enjoying thier popcorn from their 50+ old microwave
I’ve never actually experienced interference from a microwave before funnily enough, even the one at my parents house which is older than me and the wifi is still fine
Ideally a microwave shouldn't leak
But there's always some leakage
But there's a lot of factors if it will even be perceivably noticeable or even have any effect at all

anyone got a second to give some input on a pcb repair I am working on
trying to alvage a board had saltwater corosion
What is the board?
is a old 8266 magichome controller
So you are trying to salvage a board worth $3 ? Yeah with that damage I'll just order five of them and still save money based on time
i'm cheap and hate throwing out stuff lmao
plus it was working up until 3 days ago so figured was worth a shot
and have had very little luck sourcing the pree BL led controllers so figured I would see if i could save this one rather than trash it
I ordered a "magichome" controller two months ago that is currently flashed with tasmota 
got a link? everyone I seem to order has the new BL chip in it

Athom has preflashed ones
cool thank you that should work ill just have to move the board over into the harness for the old one
thank you
Guys, which software do you use to backup your HA storage raw copy?
least it was a warning. in some games if the character had a cigar or cigarettes they just straight up removed it and patched the game. totally killed off the whole characters defining trait
Should have replaced it with a lollipop ala ET
i remember candy cigarettes. never cared for how they tasted but they use to be all over, now you can't find them anywhere.
Yeah, I 'member
does anyone in here use tasker to run sh scripts?
they want like 4 bucks for that app and not sure just how well it can run custom sh scripts
Run shell scripts on the phone?
yea
one thing i read said you could either enter the code directly in tasker or call to a file
but not sure what the limitations are if any
Mad men almost made me start smoking again
Because damn, they lit the new cigarette with the old one
I wanted those aviator glasses instead
Then I looked in the mirror and decided I probably wouldn't look quite as cool as Jon Hamm anyway
Few do
Jon Hamm makes me question my heterosexuality
Greetings. Is there any robot vacuum that has opensource software or that can work without accessing internet past the LAN? Anyone has experience with this?
privacy preserving robot with lidar or vision
that's just the mix up of estrogen you been taking
thanks
this is amazing
Perfectly normal mancrush
If you've never had one you're hiding something from yourself
Hey, don't talk about men above the age of 50 repressing their feelings
I disgree with that statement whole heartedly but then kids born these days are a little ... off

I won't be arguing on that point. It's not the right place
lol @scenic radish you still fall within that range so understandable reaction
Within...what range
the range when the world started going touchy feely
about 12-13 years too young
By that statement you agree that the world went touchy feely at one point @scenic radish

rip

But yes, when the world corrected itself for most would be a better term
Most of the world that is
they didn't want to be sued for the kids taking up crack after watching it
But suing is an American problem
Sonoma...admitting something is wrong with the US? What have you done with the real Sonoma?
current us = shit, past us = awesome
With at least two brain cells of AI
Past US meaning...when exactly?
yea remember that thinking emoji when someone steals your bike
80's was awesome
but anything prior to the 80's was good
When he got rejected by Lilly-Ann Bojanls @scenic radish
people still "worked" for a living


can't believe you guys pay for nitro lol
So by that logic, segregation was good...interesting take

isn't segregation still a thing? the news says it is
atleast name something that has actually gone away lol
and i'm not talking about the 1800's
You can't seriously tell me you don't know that
know what
This
are you implying segregation is actually abolished?
or maybe just what you deem as the meaning of segregation?
Racial issues definitely still exist, but you certainly don't see "whites only" facilities anymore
You saying "anything prior to the '80s was good" is a bit of a dangerous statement
yea see, you are plucking what you deem as the meaning of the word, but that isn't it's entirely
according to the news segregation is still happening, just not that part of you are refering to
like jobs, treatment etc etc
so yea my statement was accurate
Okay lol
American's have lost the meaning of a lot of core values people use to have, unless you were alive to see it then it's impossible for you to understand. You see the world as it is now, with no experience of what it was prior.
reminds of that part in back to the future when those kids were trying to figure out how to operate that arcade machine and then when marty shows them they say it's a babies game cause you had to use your hands
that was a perfect analogy
How old are you Sonoma?
a lady never reveals her age
nice
I will say up till the Ukraine invasion I was a little concerned that if the US would get into another war we'd get our asses handed to us but after seeing Russia being just as sloppy and unprepared I now know the rest of the world has grown fat and lazy as well, well cept maybe N Korea
the pandemic really showed us that we just fall on our butts lol
You just wait until Australia activates the dropbear special forces
Do they ssh into your servers?
It seems a large horde of flies could do a lot of damage, I am sure the US would do just fine
I just really dislike all the threats of nuclear retaliation if Finland (and Sweden? Not seen that written down) went with Nato.
It was DNS right?
We don't use nameservers that much in fibre channel
Lies. You can clearly see that "Bengt" cable shouldn't be plugged into "Torbjörns" port. Ffs

I also think it was DNS. Something you did probably caused it to reset so it "fixed itself" and you just missed it. Happens all the time.

I have a colleague who insists that his wifi is fine
And then gets confused when we tell him his call quality is ass
Wouldn’t call quality be the isp reception? Or is he using wifi calling
zoom 😉 Who still uses normal phone calling?
Me? It’s convenient to call my parents or companies
This is why all work sites need a chief person in charge
Who's responsible for this shit
My parents have both zoom and teams 😄
It would be wifi calling except international links are shite
I can't remember the last call I had that was over a phone line, except wifi calling my parents
all job calls go via teams
I recommend just using Runescape DMs to talk to people
I don't call international with my phone at all. The online native alternatives don't have this misconception that it should be more expensive
all friend calls go via messenger or facetime
It’s all free for me so same cost
Google has built and removed like 14 chat services since Runescape has been alive
It really is the one universal medium
the phone contracts here that include international calling are stupid expensive
If they’re not free here it’s $10 a month for fully unlimited international calls
Is it currently Fedora that has the best CUDA support? Im going to run a quattro GPU for frigate/doubletake etc and proxmox/debian and ubuntu is using really old runtimes, where fedora has at least officially supported newer cuda runtimes
self host XMPP at home 🙂
And that easily rings a work mobile phone? Like what my mum uses
you can install any cuda versions you want on any linux version
so not sure what the limitations you mention are
I'd have 0 issues getting my mom onto it. But it was mostly towards badtelco's comment
My mum doesn’t want to install non work stuff on her work phone (understandably) so being able to ring my parents mobiles or their home phone (and my grandma who struggles to use the internet generally) is convenient
Im referring to this chart, https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html @clear ferry
The installation instructions for the CUDA Toolkit on Linux.
which part, it just tells you the prereqs for the os', and how to install cuda after meeting said prereqs
I see. Currently running proxmox on the computer, and I dont find it the most stable install. Used LXC for frigate, and worked fine, until the IP stack started to malfunction (scattered ping out of the LXC etc). Strange behaviour in other words
ew
proxmox
ew
lxc
then you are probably best of running a vm and passing through the cuda device and doing everything in said vm
but ew layers of abstraction
Proxmox is great
🤢
well everything is ew for you. Though with proxmox im semi agreed. Never seemed to have super luck with it. With my super simple setup / requirement I guess the cleanest is bare metal linux with docker and docker cuda support with nvidia drivers and google coral drivers on the host. With LXC I need to duplicate the drivers to the containers, and for nvidia that can be a pain even if quattro support being shared by several instances
it's advertised as just being software on top of debian, but in my eyes it is still an appliance with limitations
lxc is also ew
docker makes more sense for 99% of cases
then you can just learn something in the process and run debian + docker + kvm
you just learned three skills
but that ends up bein metal -> lxc -> docker as its "bad" to run docker on the metal on a proxmox install
I just run 3 Debian installs running docker on each (doing separate tasks) and my main desktop OS (popOS) so virtualising works for me
why do you run 3 debians with docker instead of one with docker? o.0
Because it makes it easier for me
Yes

¯_(ツ)_/¯
maybe they aren't just upside down, but also backwards down under 😂
I prefer having things separated for that stuff. Just makes sense for me
Not that it really changes anything being split vs all in one
I prefer less work
docker is the separation 😄
Works perfectly fine for me so Im happy with it
you could just seperate them into three different docker networks \ docker stacks 🤔
I like how I do it
QA 😂
I’m surprised you’re running HA from 2022 ngl
Thought you would’ve gone 🤢 to the move away from yaml
I update at least once a month
I should update mine. And need to take a look at the move away from one of the most annoying formats 😄
I'm not surprised yaml would be killed, gotta cater to the people who actually pay for the product without knowing what they are doing
I see no issue moving more to the GUI
I open the GUI maybe once a week, if that, so yes, it would be an issue if I would have to do five clicks to do three lines of yaml
Allowing more people to utilise HA seems only advantageous tbh
it is the path forward of any product that developers want to make money off
Given people like us who know how to self host don’t make them any money, not surprising
As long as they do the GUI nicely caugh Homeseer caugh
just make sure atx uses the supervised gui
where would you go?
openhab 😂 it's enterprise. It's java!
If that happens they would lose a lot of people, even those paying
java...
I'd run HASSWP ofcourse!
Im actually running HASSOS on the NUC as I just want it to work. I dont want to tinker the home automation system. Never been a problem except the lack of mounting ext4 on the OS
ew
k.
I guess thats why homey is so popular, though never been a fan after trying it 2-3 times
tried to get a friend to use ha
he bought a homey
just 4500NOK
for a limited product
gr8 value
no wonder how much homey is advertised here in norway
450€ for an app? o.0
What is the homey
so you only have a radio locally
homey pro is so weak you have to put pause in your automations to wait for things like zwave reply
cloud only 🤢
homey you have to pay subscription for taking a backup or all lost in hw failure or update error
If homey go bankrupt you have a brick
So, a Wink special
Sounds like it had good intents but failed badly
Yeah, I've always wanted a globe in my living room
By going cloud only
You guys only use candles in Norway?
the cloud only is the new thing
even the box itself is just 2,4ghz wifi and no ethernet, so in my house, when I tried it, then it had issues keeping connected so had to write an automation to reboot it when connection was lost
Oh ew wifi
Lol disgusting
Home Automation should use cable
I understand including it for those who just want a set and forget hub, but should have 100mbps Ethernet at the least
Yeah. I like what yellow does though. Offering a POE ethernet.
Im going to try it at least, if just to support HA dev
Just would hope CM5 will fit as I think CM4 got a tad to little power
Yellow sounds like a great alternative if you already use a pi, useless otherwise
You lost me at the first part, but got me at the second part
In the big picture an old NUC can sound fast, but old CPUs get slow too
Modern minicomputers run very low power, low heat
And offer a lot more options and headroom
You mean the same users that install 4000 add-ons
Im an advanced user, but would not mind a yellow in the living room with a zwave dongle in it to keep it as one unit. But I run most addons (influx, mysql etc on a nas)
so its not much resource drain on the home automation computer
my biggest issue is bufferbloat, besides that, my wifi works just fine where i have coverage
but i do prefer a ethernet cable
WiFi is fine, for mobile devices
I deployed my $100 Linksys velop system 3+ years ago
Haven't touched it since
It just works
Just had to bridge the nonsense
Linksys 🤢
Three access points for a few Caffe lattes, covers my whole house and driveway, haven't touched them in 3+ years, no Cloud nonsense or low moral company behind it
Can't argue
And gets me 600Mbps without any tinkering
after touching openwrt, i'll likely never get a router again thats not supported by it


Are they actually killing off yaml or are we just extrapolating from groups being doable from the GUI now?
There's an ADR about it, and some really long forum threads, please don't resurrect this...
The short answer is no. The long answer is complex.
dessurecting, no problem
Back into he cave
I have an... applied home automation problem Im phishing for opinions on
Moving across the country with a uhaul and I'm gonna need to stay overnight 3-4 nights at hotels along the way and I want to have it constantly monitored
Best idea that's stuck around is airtags. Everything else seems to require some sort of wifi. Trail cameras would get me close but the distance is still probably too far
What do you mean by wanting it constantly monitored?
If you really want that you'll need some form of 4G hotspot device, assuming you get connectivity in the truck
i haven't seen anything chocolate related yet, how many of you are sick after eating to much ?
What is too much chocolate?
when your bank call you to ask if the 5000€ spend in switzerland are normal
Wanting some sort of detection/notification at night when I'm in the hotel
Cadbury used to do 1.5 Kg bars of Dairy Milk... 
oufff
I mean, that's a bit much for a single sitting
I laid on my back for 30mn this afternoon, i over did it
I'm waiting until tomorrow, when the stores will have all their eggs on sale for half price (or less)

i usually do that with the small sugar egg and the hard-marshmallow like candy they sell here for easter, but i need my egg hunting on time
i'm a grow up ok 😠
Age is a state of mind...
Good evening, Im new here 🍞
Another Insteon sufferer?
Not really (of course)
