That sounds like a Kindle Oasis feature
Nah, it's in the Paperwhite too
even the cheap one, I think. but I think it's in the latest software - my old Voyage didn't have it, but it was held back
Too dark!
Only joking
It's converting C to F, treating that as C then converting to F again. Not sure why yet, only affects almond.
Have you tried roasting peanuts instead?
Nice thing about living 20m from the airport, I get up one hour before the flight leaves
Ewww
They're thinking about closing the airport near me (few km)
If they do, I get to deprecate an automation for the first time: automatic complaints
on noise level?
I've lived close to airports all my life, don't notice any noise
Why bother doing complaints when you live next to an airport. They can’t change anything. Just annoys the people who run the airports & aviation oversight in your country
it's called going deaf or already deaf. may wanna have that checked out
anyone got a vendor for LED strips in the Netherlands they can recommend?
is it a hass theme
Holy, Headphones at 110%, and it does not start gentle
What's the TVOC and CO2 like when atx visits
how do you measure outside lux?
I use a Xiaomi ZigBee sensor here
or train your daughter to steal the router to make atx angreh
@finite atlas Hue motion Outdoor. I think Hue sensors are best both inside and outside
where you going
Lol hue, overpriced nonsense
And you didnt visit? I live 5 min from sola
Hue is making very good sensors. Get them when they are on discount. Battery last forever, super short cooldown and accurate
Welcome to the Volvo Club
ah okay. I had two v50, one v60, one xc60 and using a v40 with the 250hp motor now. Its a fun little car with so much hp
a plane that can carry you o.O ?
i thought the antonov was destroyed in ukraine
Sensors in Norwegian 🤢
I actually agree, but it grew on me
I just have to take a migrane meds from seeing that
I'll stop by next time @late gate
I'm in Stavanger at least a dozen times per year
Good, good. My huskies are always hungry for new meat
One of the dogs just farted LOUD! omg what manners have I given them
yes it was a deadly one
Have you fixed a nice chart for nordpool? after the last apex update the common one fails @clear ferry
dont you check electric prices for today and tomorrow?
True. I dont have tibber as delivery, just the pulse so I use nordpool to get the price data
Heh I wanna fly on both of those first clsss suites
Too bad they don’t exist anymore (since it’s Etihad a380)
germany really does give you a hard time
whats the prices for tomorrow?
0,247 krones per kwh?
still cheaper then german prices
that's not hard 😂
holy macaroni
And i use 30% below average @cedar chasm
how is one even able to use that much?
do you run 2 hairdryers all day long for the entire month?
Roughly 2500kwh per month
Which is 30% below the average it seems
So the average is 3000+
What's your square meterage?
Our power companies are obliged to let us monitor it directly
I could make an esp device
But i just bought a finished product
Tibber pulse
Can you pull the feed from the meter wirelessly?
252m²
Yes
All power meters in Norway was upgraded to smart meters in 2018
I did not know that. Can you link me to where you picked up the Tibber (assuming that was the name)
The tibber pulse goes pulse -> tibber API -> home assistant
If you want fully local you'll use something else
If your power meter has a HAN port
If it doesn't you can't use it anyway
thats the average per year in germany
Mine has a HAN port but it's in the basement in my apartment building common area 😛 suckz2k
yeah not sure...All I know is a few years back they installed something and now I think they can just drive by the house to get a reading
I use roughly 28-32000 kWh per year
No more meter reader dudes 😛
We don't use gas, or oil
haha..that used to be a job 😛
we use 5000 kWh per year and thats way above average
we have gas heating, roughly 12000 kWh per year as its an old house and my grandparents love to have it at like 25°c all year all rooms even when they enter them once a month
cooking and some warm water is also made with electricity
nice view
how much do you use garbage can queen?
where do you take the average figure?
I wouldn't say that, you are above average in being an arse, according to everyone
From the app @finite atlas
I wouldn't that is the best way to measure. The best way would to be to say how much I don't
So the average of my house size (200-300m2) in my geographic area (eastern Norway)
So the average is 30% above me
Imagine the top10
My friends up north run bitcoin miners in their basements
Power is only nok 0.12 there
lucky guy
will you take me with you? 👉 👈 🥺
I prefer the aisle, more legroom, but even then I’ll sit as far forward as I can (so the front row of whatever class I’m in)
I prefer by emergency exits if possible
I'm not a pretentious fuck who flies first class you see 

The problem with that is there's no seat to shove a bag under. But I guess if you're on the aisle, you can just as easily get it out of the overhead compartment
With the rest of your fellow humans
eww
We'll just tell you your seat is first class
Give you a golden wrapper around your ticket
yay
i thought you'd prefef linux

Nor do I, that’s why I said as far forward of whatever class I’m in
they could hang people from the ceiling to fit more people into planes
We only have one class in Norway tbh
Business class useful for long haul international, get an actual bed instead of a chair
Domestic we have business & economy here
My travel system gets furious if I select forward seats
Business is overpriced and only really used by politicians or business people
I’ve flown domestic business because it’s all that’s available on frequent flyer points and it’s the same money cost, just more points
i wonder how its possible for planes to be cheaper than trains
The seats are so good on economy on Transatlantic i couldn't be bothered, sitting up front with the stiff upper lip people would be a downgrade for me
And I'm a huge guy
The seats on international economy are shit. They’re cramped and uncomfy (across many many airlines)
185cm and 125kgs
I will do it but I dislike it
Points upgrade to business however, that’s a nice use
I have no issues fitting in on any transatlantic I've flown
Im smaller in weight than you, but I get cramped easily on planes
No
where do you live?
If I was claustrophobic I wouldn’t have flown as much as I do
That said, I fall asleep in the MRI
Australia
International flights are at a minimum 7 hours for me
yeah murican style airplanes are very pressed together
Most recent ones have been 24hr
little space for anything
What?
I've done Delta, KLM,Norwegian and sas transatlantic, no issues on those
I should get around to Japan Airlines soon
the seats, they are often put very close to each other in order to fit more passengers
I’ve done Singapore airlines, Cathay pacific, qantas, emirates, British airways and all uncomfy
You mean how basically every airline does it
There’s like 3” difference in seat pitch around
Emirates is one of the largest and im still cramped
kinda, yeah
but its more of an issue in american style planes
I don’t get what you mean by American style planes. Considering all the airlines copy each other
I got cramped on the 7 hour flight to Singapore
Have been lucky with them though and gotten free upgrades to business and also to first class
Showers mid flight are a novelty that’s kinda fun
I saw a video from Japan Airlines first class recently
Looks nice
If there were none of the cunts there
Why does it matter if there’s others. The point of first is you don’t notice anyone else
Unless you’re one of those people who talk to the people next to them
Business/First is less stuffy now that the legacy airlines make most of their points-money on credit card degenerates
I see you found the furries
Credit card points are very nice thing to get
No, these were surely just trailer trash
Absolutely
Probably the same people who drive bare foot
who would do that o.O ?
Australians wearing thongs (flip flops), because driving in those is a hazard
There is a discussion to be had about them but it's undeniable that their prominence has led to business lounges and premium cabins no longer being the reserve of old gentry and railway moguls of yore
Im happy with them given I’ve benefited from it directly, and it’s saving me money (though for a lot of people those sorts of credit cards are not worth it - the one I have has an annual fee of $300, yet I’ve managed to get the card for no annual fee)
The discussion to be had is whether these "free points" and "savings" aren't raising prices for everyone on the whole
But don't get me wrong; I have as much fun chasing tier points as the next person
Honestly I doubt it, the airlines make huge money on unredeemed points
All they do is limit how easy it is to redeem
And they make money
It's a field of study I'm happy to leave alone, but maybe I'll get to hear a cackling super villain explain the evil machinations at some point through a leak of some sort.

ah
resin dioramas are just popping up everywhere but don't see anyone interested in purchasing them
@tidal bronze just saw you guys are undergoing a "water crisis". Guess you bastards will have to learn how to drink ocean water
just go into a store and buy a bottle, duh
that only provides a small percentage of the water you all use. you would need like 6x the many plants to even think of calling it a primary source lol
ok for one county lol
The one I live in, so...
Sonoma just hates change
All politics is local
what is the "change" in this regard you speak of?
Using seawater to drink
never implied anything remotely sounding like I was against such practice. but I did state fact that the systems in place do not supply enough water to sustain the population
calmelb just hates facts
1/3 the amount of water often is enough to sustain what is needed, even for a year where rain water is too low (and so the dams fall)
Or build more and supply all
so there is sooo much more to to the story to that whole thing. that statement made on the site was using the size of that county as a reference
the roughly 400k etc
reality is, not only are those numbers likely not accurate but the way water is distributed especially in a crisis isn't generally kept localized
The desal plant in Melbourne, australia can supply 1/3 of the water needed there (which is over a million) and in drought will help slow the reduction in dams too
Also that during drought water restrictions can be brought in too
not saying it's impossible to use desal as a primary source.. simply stated there isn't enough plants nor is there enough demand for them to build enough plants for that to happen
in some parts of the worlds it's all they got.. and that is fine
but we're talking about california.. not melbourn
Melbourne and cali are quite similar for climate
Yeah this conversation is pointless then
exactly.. stay on topic lol
You’re being stupid
not being stupid.. you are trying to compare a pop of around 5 mil to one of about 40 mil
and it don't work like that
also I just read that desalination plants don't run off renewable energy and require more that traditional.. so while you are enjoying the fresh water your air is getting dirtier as well global temps rise lmao
in yo face
Except desal plants just use electricity, they can run off renewable energy. Here they just run off the grid, so the more renewable the grid the more renewable energy used by the plants
not according to what I am reading
in fact the desal plants in cali with all it's glorious wind turbines still use like 70% fossil fuel to remain powered
but again, desal process uses even more electricity than tradtional methods so it's not just a clear cut number
So how do these magical desal plants in the USA get powered then? Through their own power plant? Or do they just take power from the grid
when they refer to fossil fuel they are generally referencing the grid
So bring the grid to mostly renewable, thus the power used by it will be mostly renewable
You don’t believe there will be a mostly renewable grid within the next 20 years?
What percentage do you think we can get to then
well i mean it's diffrent for every part of the world
so will some countries get there? sure.. probably
will others.. likely never
I disagree tbh
its good to have hope i suppose
Think all countries will have 50% at least renewables
but right now the data dosen't look so good lol
Data is saying countries are investing heavily in renewables
not for the purpose of clearing the skies
Already usa (and australia too) is at 20%
Point is to reduce what we’re putting out. Cutting to be net 0 out is doable
It’s more power than coal
saying "2nd" sounds bigger than what really is
look where coal was
that's the goal right
not where it is due to foced actions
look where it was
i dunno why you keep thinking solar panels and wind turbines are capable of producing as much power as you do.. they simply just do not and in order for them to even get there they would have to consume so much more land or the tech would have to take a much bigger leap
and that tech won't be "cheap"
nor is that land avialable
Renewables aren’t just solar & wind though
wave plants etc are a norwat thing
And operating costs of renewables are a lot cheaper than coal or gas
for powering small villages and mud huts
Hydro is a thing
Doesn’t mean it’s not a renewable source of power
But yes it does have problems
And we have problems with base load power which solar/ wind can’t do
And batteries aren’t good enough
like i said.. maybe your grandkids might see something
i wouldn't hold my breathe tho lol
Honestly I can see developed countries having 70%+ renewables in the next 20-30 years
if that happens you are going to have much bigger problems afterwords
between wind turbines slicing up the birds, desal plants heating up the planet and norwegian wave generators causing the aurora lights everything has it's price and to get to something like what your thinking in that short amount of time i'm sure will have some major impact elsewhere lol
just like how electric cars now seem so cool but in 20-30 years will likely cause some major non recyclable headaches lol
Desal plants are designed as supplemental to water, in areas where drought exists. They’re a requirement not an optional item
Not really. Lithium batteries can be recycled to near 100% there just isn’t a market for it right now
and you hit the nail on the head
And when electric cars are needing to be recycled, the market will be there
It’s already taking off
"not a market for it" the driving force of everything and the very thing that will keep you from seeing your dream just like how flying cars was kept from mine
No flying cars is regulation too
People are idiots on the road, they shouldn’t be allowed to fly too
you obviously never seen the jetsons
I have. I enjoyed watching it
then you would know they would be most automated
And we can see regulation hasn’t really allowed for automated air travel either
Because the regulators can’t trust it
i fully disagree
current aircraft already use auto pilot
infact I read planes can even take off and land themselves.. just they are not allowed to do so
Still require 2 pilots who can fly if needed, and still usually manually land (depending on airline) and take off themselves
but they do most of the flying as is
They are allowed to land themselves. Just airlines want the pilots to be trained
how is that any diffrent than an "idiot" in a automated flying car?
Because the pilots are heavily trained (commercial airlines require pilots to have many hundreds of hours) whilst someone can get a licence with 100 hours or less
There are idiots in the air, they’re just usually heavily controlled
Yes and how many hours of driving do you need to get a drivers licence. Is there a mandated minimum?
Whilst a commercial aviation licence requires 250
And for commercial air travel licence it’s 2000
but if cars were flying i am pretty sure the tests would change to accomidate lol
Still cannot see the regulators ever wanting to allow it
Aviation gets heavily regulated for a reason
And the only reason autoland exists is because of bad weather
i agree lol, but like i said.. not much of a diffrence lol
Coal and gas are definitely commercially unviable atm
Have been for a long time
They're just heavily subsidised and externalised costs
They’re viable because they’re built and companies look short term costs (so gas consistently is cheaper than huge upfront)
they publish nice numbers all the time, but we lack plants to process them and the couple % that are missing, are often those materials we'd really want to have recycled like lithium and cobalt
Drones became a thing here within the last 10 years. Idiots with FPV were flying into controlled airspace. Wasn’t long before drones were regulated to the point of if you want to fly one commercially, you needed a license. That license included a test that from what I am told pretty much covered 75% of the material needed to get your full scale ground school license.
The airspace industry here seems to have a great deal of influence because on some level, flying a 1500.00 toy commercially became regulated almost to the same degree as a full scale aircraft.
Lithium is one of the ones that can be recycled quite well
It’s because the drones were flying in actual airspace and became a hazard, combined with companies wanting drones for everything there was a privacy & safety factor. The content covered is similar to actual aircraft as it concerns airspace and other related things, all important for drones to also know
Yes, 😉, I was agreeing with you. Should cars ever fly, I am sure their operators will be required to obtain the exact same license a privet pilot does.
And that online exam will have the same sort of content
What is airspace and where you can/cant fly
Right, same here but it is not an easy test
its pretty universal now, although not ICAO so not transferable between countries
I think I can get a drone licence pretty easy as I have an actual pilots licence
it's a quite easy test here according to a collegue
It’s just a minor test rather than full on theory
Well yes, but you have already frontloaded the knowledge
you pay $20 per year for a license, again, only if your drone is over 250g
Ouch an annual fee
that yearly fee included access to all training and exams
I would have to go back to the books to figure out when you need a license. It has a weight limit and also a clause that it is not for hobby.
There was a cost to sit for the exam but no annual cost
Looks like here theres a practical component for it as well as theory. Needed for any drone over 2kg unless it is over your own land (eg farmer) then its under 25kg or if its for a business who holds a drone operators cert
Aviation normally doesn’t have annual fees for licences, just regular re-testing
It’s funny, my licence hasn’t expired (as they don’t expire ever) but I can’t use it as I need a flight review every 2 years and its been over 2 years now
my father once gave me the controls to his drone years ago
i pressed the accelerator slightly and it vanished for roughly 30 seconds until it spontaniously disassembled itself on the floor, never going to touch those again
Initially, you had to retake the same test here every year as a drone operator. They later relaxed the standard for retakes. Instead of going to a certified testing facility, you just go online and take the test. You have to score 100% on the retake but you can take it an unlimited amount of times. Basically, if after the first attempt, you miss 2 questions, it just regenerates 2 more questions you have to answer. It continues until you have basically successfully answered the number of questions on the exam…can’t remember if 30 or 50
Old habbits die hard!
@finite atlas I hate that you posted what I just wanted to post. So I'll still post it
Someone please explain. Why are people so shortsighted and hate on php?
Hm? Maybe because we had to use it at some point 😄
And so did PHP
I mean i hated it at start because I didn't want to use it but it just grew to my heart
There’s some Nordic city I’m thinking of
What? XD
Stockholm
likely because its horrible
Why is it horrible?
Most likely because you're a sheep just repeating someone else.
I bet you didn't even know you can send UDP packets using vanilla PHP. Mind blown
Rather than being rude, read the https://www.home-assistant.io/code_of_conduct/
its a pretty sluggish programming language
Again. That's subjective. What exactly is bad about it?
It can fit any programming style. You can write as with any object oriented, or you can use the OG procedural syntax
if you like it, why bother that others dont?
You could rewrite a Minecraft server in PHP and it would work
Like it's really a powerful language and everyone underestimates it
PHP developers will be sought after in 30 years
When all the terrible applications are failing
Just like the turbo pascal and COBOL people today
Also in my country companies pay more to PHP devs than python
if you like php, feel free to keep using it
Nobody should be learning PHP today tbh
I started 2012
While there was no Python3
Also not declining
78% usage for backend
ASP.net is garbage and node is just JavaScript. Which is garbage
This, and if it makes you money then even better
Everyone will have a view over what language is the best or why you should/ shouldn’t use something
exactly
typescript >> PHP
I got a real good deal in Inston switches!!!!
why
People-burning smoke. Mmmm bacon.
Atx you wouldn’t know how cooked meat smells, you eat it raw
atx is so fat he got smaller people in orbit around him
Ofc its an Al Bundy classic
That TV show would not survive today lol
I love it
then make your kids watch those shows when you got some
I learned programming in PHP too. Around -04 or so. I think I've touched it exactly once since learning python in 2010.
I want cake
I recently installed lychee, that uses PHP
I got myself a docker container, so I don't have to touch anything with that configuration and just have an NGINX that exposes port 80
You just touch your PP
It just makes me really ill
Lungs hurt and gets tight, lips feel numb,
likely a combo of both
Mm it's Karen to not want to breath stuff that's worse than cigarettes
I thought they only had Sheilas
if all they burn is untreated wood or coal, its not really worse
I live in a country where every household burns wood in winter 
off that people have inhaled that for thousands of years without major effects when its just here and there
while with cigarettes you inhale more stuff and worse particles
smelling fire and inhaling a cigarette are two different things
you'd have to compare wood burning with 2nd hand smoking though
you'd have to compare wood burning plenty of meters away with active smoking
why would you? Nobody in their right mind smokes either way 😉
because thats the comparison
wood burning somewhere vs active smoking
I can't believe I used to smoke 40 a day
Eidle eidle eee
Eidle eidle eee
We simply can't leave 'til we burn some more wood.

The writing in games was different back in the day...
The text or the picture? Because I took some artistic liberties with one of them.
The Swedish translation of that song is brilliant too. Even better than the original even. Edit: It stays
That's another thing. When did you last see a game translated to more than like four languages?
great you stopped old man
i'll give you some belly rubs for stopping

@forest edge very disturbing 🤔
then stop drinking it you goober lol
fucking legends
bring me some groceries aswell please!
Were you aware that the coconut is not a nut?
Only the essentials
if you are what you eat and you are a nut, wouldn't that make the coconut a nut as well? 🤔
Not in No-Nut-November
New lamps in my living room

sounds like bitter cacao
I wonder how much are smart sockets drawing
Zigbee and Z-Wave ones apparently consume 0.25 to 0.5 W on average
WiFi ones draw a lot more - in the 1W to 2W range
Tremendous amounts
I'm betting my smart bulbs and sockets account for at least 0.5% of my house draw

But that is across 200+ devices
Yeah but your house draws gigawatts due to all the server gear
Yet I'm still 30% below the average for my household
the others just dry their hair all day
Only if the coconut ate you
The tuya ones use 0.2W so far i measured them
So pretty good
If smart sockets are on, they draw a bit more, like 0.6W
Yes
The lavazza one, whole beans, they‘re taste very good
Decaffeinated by supercritical CO2

Why is the option to place a shortcut on the desktop when you install something on windows still marked by default?
Because the majority of windows users are as smart as insert your country's idiot party voters here
which of the lot?
Dealers choice
The whole "desktop" metaphor has never really worked for me. Once you're actually running apps with windows that cover it up and you're using a filesystem with directories/folders, even nifty keystrokes to get back to the desktop are rarely the fastest or most intuitive way to access things
It made sense 20-25 years ago
These days I have 25 windows covering each monitor, and 467 tabs on two of them at least
it's as thought I have all my important stuff on my real desk, then I cover it with 18 layers of papers and other clutter, then still hope to have ready access to that stuff. It just doesn't make sense to me
but i like to have my files on the desktop, where i can easily overview and see them
I just have way, way, way too many files to make that a viable option
and in meaningful directory structures
hence why i have folders
i use my windows desktop pretty much as the linux /home/oberfail directory
if I need to find something, I just bring up the Finder window from the dock, or launch things with command-space
sometimes i do that aswell
I also use the column view almost exclusively because it's a quick an intuitive way for me to navigate folder structures, vs. the click & open, click & open, click & open, etc.
I've seen lots of attempts to optimize the desktop view and they've all fallen flat for me
same
i'm used to my way of using the existing tools
i'm old and dont need any change
Apple's "stacks" were the silliest - let's take an icon of everything in a directory and pile them on top of each other

Ooof. That's quite a lot considering my raspberry pi eats up 3W
I got some cheapo Gosung WiFi plugs
Ew pi
Ew your underutilized server drawing 200W idle
Underutilized you say, i have a load average of 9-15 on 12 physical cores

My 128G of memory is usually 85-90% full due to l1arc
But that is just my production server
The lab environment easily pulls 240GB ram, which is why I'm upgrading to 768
Well i use 2/8GB of my ram on my Pi and CPU stays under 1% utilization even transcoding 2 live web camera feeds
So what's ew about my pi when i have shit ton of headroom?
Its a great kids toy
Don't get me wrong
But I wouldn't run anything I cared about on it
That's your preference
Not everyone has production grade servers
Even 200$ for the pi, case etc was a lot for me
Mind explaining that into more detail?
Like the soc has some advanced power functions?
The usbc based power connector is better, the overall converters are better, and the ethernet isn't connected to the usb controller so that any attempt of using proper storage on the 4 is viable
I paid $150 with transatlantic shipping for my r510 with 1x6 core and 32GB ram 3 years ago 
Yeah. I was holding back to buying pi 3B because the Ethernet to USB transfers were shit
But pi4B can do full 1Gbit from Ethernet to usb3 drive
I don't have faster home network than 1Gbit so no need for faster Ethernet adapters or anything
Why is it so cheap?
I've had 40G for 5 years, but I seldom use it, 10 suffices
Because it is a 10 year old machine at the time
I daily drive a computer running i7-3770
Upgraded recently from i5-3550P cuz it couldn't handle new stuff like shadow of the tomb raider, LIS true colors and flight simulator
My previous daily was a i7-6 something, now it's an i7-12 something
I mean that Pi scores more in sysbench then my desktop CPU
My PC does like 600-700 but the pi does 1200
And my VPS does 2500
Single core
Lol
I run quite a lot of stuff on the Pi. Alongside HA i also run ASF, PiHole, SMB, Apache, Transmission and JDownloader
Maybe even more stuff. Oh yeah. Also Cloudflared tunnel
And i use the pi to compile my arm based binaries
I couldn't get my stuff to compile on Ubuntu on my VPS so i did it on my pi in debian and copied over the binaries
Try sysbench
If you don't run Linux u gotta install wsl
Then sudo apt-get install sysbench
Ew wsl
Yes, i have on and off for the last 25 years
Grub?

That has been the main bootloader for the last two decades yes
I miss lilo
And elilo
The stacks were kind of cool because you could put a file with a box icon first, and it would look like all your files were in that box.
stack-hacking
Wtf
Why have nobody given me cake? Im still waiting and now im grumpy
make sure the pi isnt running geekbench 4 lmfao
those scores are not comperable to geekbench 5
Why would anyone give you a cake?
Idk if Geekbench even runs on arm. I just use sysbench. It calculates prime numbers for 10 seconds
Because im me, @agile jewel
default i7 3770 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/14570952
Interesting
Weird that sysbench gave my pi double the score
How much overhead is wsl?
something
Cuz pi is running native Linux while my PC runs Linux on wsl
Pi runs debian PC runs ubuntu
so the worst possible combination for your pc
running windows, emulating a bloated distro
I guess the benchmarks are stressing out different parts of the cpu as they probably each use different instructions
To stress it out
Cuz sysbench only really counts prime numbers
scroll a bit down, geekbench does not only count prime numbers
it does a big variety of tests
It's possible my pi has slowed cpu but it's better at counting prime numbers than my desktop PC. Idk
to have a somewhat accurate comperable number
Discord motion notify still works fine
Yeah but that number still doesn't represent real life. It's best to test performance on what you're actually doing with it. Need it for AI detection? Look at that metric. It's good Geekbench shows a breakdown instead of just a single number
And servo with stepstick to rotate it
Yeah but if you need AES-XTS, the pi can just go back to where it came from
It leads us to build real-life automatic turrets
1000 vs 44 lol
I don't really do encryption
No reason to encrypt any traffic on local network
if a pi suits you well and you use one, then its great for you
however, it does have its shortcomings and its not for everyone
Also i don't have patience to install certificates on all devices cuz self signed certificates
Only encryption my pi does is encrypting packets sent to Cloudflare edge server
Actually it's 3 servers
And maybe smb is somehow encrypted too. So that as well
i'll try to flip my way to a used R9 3950X system for my homeserver
So far it didn't let me down and has been sufficient for everything
GL with that. Gonna be expensive
Usually you don't need much power for your home server anyways
Unless you have crazy projects
Better to use that cpu for your desktop and use your old cpu as a home server
hence the flipping
What are you daily driving ATM?
R5 3600, 1070
5950x?
Reddit: ”Why is the achievement for crafting a cake called ’The Lie?’”
Anyone else feel old?
Why would you use 3950x for a server when you can pop that into your PC and use your 3600 as a server?
A friend gave me his old Pc for free, so i'm gonna try to flip it for profit, buy used parts again, assemble them and flip it for profit again.
Yes sir
I could say he's a zombine. Get it?
Cause a 3600 is all i need, might even downgrade
What will your server do?
idling
Lol
aaaaall day long
no
It will Proxmox with Opnsense, HA, various game servers and some messing around in VM's
And the pi defenitly cant host game servers
even minecraft runs pretty sluggish on it
I run a couple of pi4s in a kubernetes cluster, with replicated storage, certificate management etc at home
Everything loads fast
Minecraft and other game servers are a completely different story
But it’s not for a game server
It hosts my manga reader, wireguard, code server, home assistant, etc
Of course I’m not using SD cards but drives
yeah, that there is no native sata / nvme support makes the pi platform even worse
Works fine for home stuff
USB 3 is fast enough for my needs, even with longhorn replicating the volumes across the nodes etc
usb 3 is a janky solution tho
0 issues here
And they are Poe+ powered
Next step is to set up a 3 node PXE server and ansible to auto provision nodes
if it works great for you, thats awesome, it just not something for me
I would like something more powerful but I don’t have 4k to dump into that project
if power usage is not a big concern, older dell optiplexes are pretty cheap
Power is sadly
or take a look at project tiny mini micro
My cluster is only using about 40W of power
i'm planning on spending 0 money on my setup
flipping pc's for money till i have enough for it
and using a friends one he gave me for free as a starting point
All of my money is going into other projects l, like a 24 port switch and 16 network drops at home
24port Poe that is
going d-lan would probably be cheaper
8 drops are gone just on the house corners
2 more on the front and back
1 for the doorbell…. That leaves 1 for each room….
Shit… I need a bigger switch
xD
I was looking at the UDM for my router but… I need BGP
What do you use @clear ferry? Open sense?
Opnsense yes
It supports bgp at least
Peering to my NSX-T lab
And a few more networks
Papermc runs fine
🤢
no
even a pre-generated world lags with just a couple of players
I host my server on Ampere A1
Even if i wanted to my internet is garbage so i couldn't host any game servers anyways
Anyone here knows how to install win11 on oracle VM?
Cuz i can't view the installation screen if i mount an installation iso. And there aren't any "preinstalled" images just like with pi iirc
Why on earth would you want to do that
install linux and a VM manager lmfao
Cuz i didn't manage to emulate x86 on Linux
While win11 natively emulates x86 apps on arm
Steamcmd to be precise

If you want to run steamcmd and windows only game servers on Linux gl
You need x86 to arm emulation as well as some compatibility layer like wine
Easier to just install windows and have that emulate x86 on arm
I haven't had steam on my machine since 2012, and i haven't bothered with game servers since 2004, so not a problem 
And the only arm i deal with is moonshot thankfully
proxmox ftw
hence why i go with an overkill cpu to begin with, plenty of performance to throw around
Don't bring something twice as powerful as a pi into this!

But I'm a purist, Debian with kvm if you just need vms
If you want to learn a usable hypervisor, esxi

Speaking of useless desktops, a 3D one would be the most useless
Back on OS’s, does anyone know of or use an x86 based firewall that might also have docker or someone who’s built HA into?
Sophos installer is being strange booting on my new hardware but things like pfSense are working no worries, so I’m just comparing and contrasting all the options and it would be kinda interesting to also cut the pi4 out of the mix as well as the router if we’re addressing underpowered hardware
no gnome is wonderfull for managing servers
Proxmox and install opnsense into it
If I go the route of doing it over virtual machines, I guess I could keep Sophos since they have a build for that… I was a bit unsure about going that route because all the VM host machines I’d ever worked with were a bit more sizeable than a little cased N5095 with 8GB memory and two 2.5Gb Ethernet
ugh digi's latest video tries to compare an rpi with sdcard to pc for HA
dosnt sophos cost money?
Late reply, but isn’t that up to the installer/ the dev who made the installer? So many programs I’ve installed and the tick box isn’t preselected
You don’t have to. If you own a domain you can set it up to get signed certs for your internal domains & ips
You can get a free .tk
Use a provider where you can do dns validation so you never have to open up ports
Not for home users. Commercial does, and buying an appliance for it would.
Their PC antivirus does too I guess. Just not XG firewall if you have an Intel based machine with multiple network interfaces
i just realized a good chunck of the youtube videos I watched were done using ai voice
i feel ripped off
When your internet goes down you can't access your local network. Moreover I don't have a public static IP so i can't access my internal network from outside. you can't sign certificates for domains that point to local IPs
wrong
I can fully isolate and still use my local network without issues. And it has "proper" let's encrypt certs on my domain
just do the dns01 challenge and get a wildcard for a subdomain. No need to route from the outside
local https.. pssh
I can. My local network is served by local DNS, which has internal static IPs with issued certs utilising DNS challenges. It’s not hard. All you need is a domain name
Well i couldn't find an authority that would sign me certificates for local IPs
Moreover
HTTPS on LAN is stupid unless your neighbors know your prehared key
you don't sign for IPs, you sign for your domain
you just have to provide the proof of ownership in a valid way
I mainly have it because I move my laptop out of my network eveyr now and then and don't want it to connect to random bullshit
also, #homelab
Yeah and they usually verify your ownership by accessing the server. And the issuer can't access your server when it's a local IP
I always got an error that they can't issue me a certificate because the domain points to a local IP
I gave up years ago on this
It has no benefits
And even if you travel, stuff like ftp and smb do not send passwords before the connection is initialized. Odds of you connecting to a network that has a server on that exact same local IP and have those services running on the same ports are very slim
So your PC might be like "hey is there an ftp server on 192.168.0.105?" And gets no response. So it won't even send your credentials
wrong, and wrong
I have both a DNS-challenge cert for my internal subdomain and I got one via http challenge for the public facing (dynamic ip) host
Free SSL certificates issued in less than a minute, for one or multiple domains, supporting wildcards and ACME with tutorials.
yea, ftp running on port21 is unlikely 😂
This one is an example that won't work if you use local IP
you won't get certs for IPs either way. You get them on hostnames
You can change the port. But even if you don't, odds of the IP being the same are slim
Even on a local network
Duh
Just saying the site won't give you a cert if you input a domain that points to a local IP
What's so hard to understand?
yea, no. Half the world is on 192.168.178/24 or 192.168.2/24 with the range starting at 100. Easy to try out a couple for confusion
I'm trying to understand why I should accept you telling me something I have done (and am doing) is impossible 😂
So you go to a cafeteria. Odds of them having an ftp server accessible from the guest network are close to 0. They probably don't even have an ftp server on their private network
It's more likely for a mall. But again. Most likely not on the same subnet as the guest network
IF someone actually did host an ftp server on their guest network, then the odds of the IP being the same is 1 in 254
are you familiar with the difference of safety and security?
Alright. So what's insecure about your PC having odds 1 in let's say 500 000 leaking your credentials to your FTP server accessible only from LOCAL NETWORK
Even if someone steals your credentials they don't know where you live rofl
Doubt they would follow you home and hack your wifi
who's talking about FTP?
that's only you
I have some automation with my mqtt server, generally connect to the HA instance, grafana boards and other stuff almost always open
I.e. I load code from those servers (js). Which I don't want attackers to get such easy access to
and it's bloody easy to just sniff what your system tries to connect to under Dolev-Yao. As said, get familiar with safety vs. security
In that case i would just access it from an external url. And set up a loopback on my router so that the request doesn't leave the local network
1 URL to access it from both outside and inside
In that case you should lecture google and Cloudflare. Cuz your browser showing a green padlock and text "this website is SECURE" while ssl connection is only established between your browser and Cloudflare while the destination server communicating with Cloudflare runs plain text http... That doesn't sound SECURE at all
I know google has no way to tell if CF communicates with the destination server over SSL... But this is what happens when you force the whole web to use SSL. Insecure solutions like this
Perhaps CF should add an http header acknowledging the destination server doesn't utilize ssl
And depending on your use case isn’t
They are aware
But the only one who knows is you. Your clients can't tell
They are told it's secure to input their CC info onto your site
That's why I use Cloudflare argo instead. That makes an encrypted tunnel instead of sending unecrypted http requests
Also, i don’t use chrome nor chromium, so idgaf about how they behave
Wrong again
There are like 3 rendering engines lol. It's either WebKit, Gecko or whatever the third thing is
Only difference is browser A is faster and well optimized, browser B bundles spyware, browser C enables AdBlocking without consent and sites yell at you for using AdBlocker. In the end it's all the same
Used chromium since like 2008 on my Ubuntu system
you pipe mqtt over the net?
Mosquittos can fly, didn't you know?
not when your around.. racoons are often infested with them.. they party with the fleas

Or that it’s so easy to do it’s one of those “eh why not” approaches rather than can’t be bothered.
Look at traefik. It can run in a docker container, and is a proxy that does https
I don't like docker approach. I just make a new Unix user
And run services like that
I dislike all kinds of frameworks and sandboxes. It's a hassle to set up permissions and stuff, then wonder why your docker doesn't have access to gpio. And the performance takes a hit too. I don't like wasting Performance
Permissions? All you need is the docket container to have r/w access to the folder you pass it. Just have to pass it GPIO access. Really not that bad, docker compose makes it very easy.
And if you’re running on a Pi barely using it, then docker isn’t going to be much overhead at all, even for plex there’s no noticeable loss in performance
I have never partied with a flea
But I have partied with flea
I understand tinkering, learning how to do stuff through practice etc etc but some things to do cause "eh why not?" is just plain stupid.. infact if you apply that mentality outside of computer/networking it tends to lead to people getting hurt and even killed lol
But this isn’t outside of computing. This is literally a I’m running through a proxy why not make it do https
I never said “eh why not” for everything in life
not everything is https friendly and if your network ends up half and half then you gotta question.. wtf am i doing? lol
I’ve not found anything that’s not https friendly. It’s what a proxy is for. It does the insecure connection for you
How can I make a fake device like this one
It's not a fake device
I want to make a fake device that looks like that
You need to program an integration
If you don't know python the ez answer is you can't
I do know python
Send me docs
It only covers the base
Not how to make a device
Why do you want to make a device
Let’s start there
To interface my microbit that I moded with lots of buttons
What methods can the microbit talk with?
Serial
Then from my PC websocket to homeassistant
So you already have it included?
Yep
So what are you trying to achieve then
Because it sounds like you’ve already done it
I need a device so I can see it all in one place
Currently it spans across multiple entity
You can’t create virtual devices. If it spans across multiple entities then just create a front end
Also as people have said many many times, this is not a support channel
Well front end != Device
But why do you need devices. If you want to organise it then create a good front end. Otherwise you will want to use an integration with one device (eg the serial integration itself)
Again, not a support channel
I can write custom intergration if needed
Then write one. The docs were posted above
Again, not a support channel
But that only provide the base not the code to init a device
And I can't find it either
You have to write the code
Again, not a support channel
You could also change the method you’re including it, and do it in a way where it comes in by one device (eg mqtt)
And it always report run from project root
Did you set up your dev setup as per the docs
Not yet
Then that’s part of the issue
Good Morning
Maybe don’t use your phone for coding
Phone for coding???
Well it's a vps
Man all the apps for coding suck so bad. Even on high end phone it lags cuz GBoard is trying to auto-correct the whole document xD
So connect on your computer?
Maybe but I am on my bed
Because typing code on a phone is a PITA?
Like when i need to change 1 line of code i have to turn on my PC to do it. When i tried to edit it on phone it always adds some invisible characters or makes a mess in the code. Horrible
What's PITA?
Yeah sounds like the apps you use are terrible then. Never had any issues on iOS
I dont even write automations on my phone
Using the examples
It's another conversation Aleks, not aimed at you. See the reply thread.
Using this
Just edit
Pain in the ass
What about the full dev environment that there are steps to follow
It’s really not something you’ll want to edit on a phone
It’s a lot you need to do
Well it says I can just copy into the custom intergration folder
Okay then you can make a sensor. That’s going to make an entity not a device
But it does support multiple states in one sensor right?
Like one entry for each button
You'd probably be better off in the support channels...perhaps start with #general-archived
Yes one entity per button. Unless your sensor then does whatever button was pressed (so you don’t know if multiple buttons were pressed)
But also what Lloyd said and what I’ve said a lot. This is not a support channel
Good
Gona start it with the cloudflare r2 Api so I don't need to use the rest Api intergration
Are you listening about how this isn’t a support channel too btw?
So why did you keep asking
Let's talk in general
Bit damp in old VIC is it? @umbral cliff
I’m not based in Vic 😛
@umbral cliff let continue in #general-archived
Oh...I saw Melb and assumed. Mea culpa. 🙂
I am from melb, however now in Canberra
Oh so you're throwing us off the scent! I don't have to ask how it is in the ACT because it's always raining and freeze-your-arse-off weather! 🙂
Yet today it was warm and sunny!
Damn...I missed a great 'Caught in the ACT' joke opportunity there...
Fantastic!
Going to make a coffee...Put your orders in and I'll read them when I get back with mine! 🙂
Fun-spoilers!
You know a fix to this?
This is not a support channel
Do you understand
Yes
But there's no human respond in general
