My Subaru AWD has high / low range selection.

[forest edge]

yea the lines are blurry but I don't think awd is the same as in terms of torq etc

[young sigil]

AWD generally don't have the ground clearance found on 4WD either.

[forest edge]

also pretty sure awd only comes in limited slip while 4wd is posi

[umbral cliff]

Nah. Just recommend at the 10 year mark to change. No need to change unless tread is low or tyres are cracked

Also obligatory fuck suvs

[forest edge]

here if a tire is past said expiration date shops won't touch it. not even sure they would plug a hole

found that out trying to get a trailer tire fixed

[umbral cliff]

Haven’t ever seen an expiry date on a tute

*type

Just manufacture date

[static schooner]

I didn't know they had expiration dates

[forest edge]

i did find a hole in the wall shop that didn't care about expiration but 3 of the shops i went first all mentioned it and said they couldn't help me

[static schooner]

Seems like mainly an issue with spares

[umbral cliff]

If the tyre is over 10 years then I could see them not touching it in sue hell america

[forest edge]

I think it's a greed thing personally

they do that to sell more tires

the experation date is within the tires code

[static schooner]

Nobody cares about or for spare tires until it's too late

[umbral cliff]

What tyres code. Tyres don’t have any unique code or anything. They just have the manufacture date stamped on

[umbral cliff]

I replace my spare tyre with the other 4 main ones. Alongside rotating the 5 tyres during the annual service

[static schooner]

I've never had a car with a full size spare

Stays in the trunk forever

[umbral cliff]

Common with older European cars

[forest edge]

that stamp is what i am referin to

[umbral cliff]

Before they moved to run flat or repair kits

[umbral cliff]

That’s a manufacture date. If they’re saying that’s an expiry date then your tyre is dead as soon as it walks out the plant

[forest edge]

no they have like 6 years or something

[umbral cliff]

That’s definitely not true

[forest edge]

look i'm just spewin what i was told lol

[umbral cliff]

Which is crap

[forest edge]

i think the whole concept is crap and greed. i stated that above lol

[umbral cliff]

My car passed a roadworthy when we purchased it in 2014, had 14 year old tyres and they’re fine

[umbral cliff]

Again, it’s not a forced date set by anyone except the shops you went to

[forest edge]

but if all shops go that route...

[static schooner]

You can find your tire’s age in its DOT Identification Number, which you’ll find stamped on the tire’s sidewall. The last four digits of this number indicate the week and year the tire was built.

[forest edge]

the hole in the wall place i found didn't care but 3 out of 4 places is no small thing

[umbral cliff]

Hell even Bridgestone themselves say 10 years is when you should replace it

[forest edge]

why 10

that didn't use to be a thing either

[umbral cliff]

Rubber in constant heat cycles & usage does start to perish

[static schooner]

I've been far more likely to get a nail or screw in the wrong place than for them to age out

[forest edge]

tires last way longer than 10 years

[umbral cliff]

You can push it longer

But they start to crack

Or they just wear out before 10 years

[forest edge]

not nessearly

crack has to do with condition in which they are stored

my trailer tires are almost as old as i am just as an example

[umbral cliff]

They can crack over normal usage too

[umbral cliff]

If they’re 50 years old then no surprise they don’t want to touch it

[forest edge]

like i said, anything past 6 they wouldnt

but there is nothing wrong with them

[umbral cliff]

Okay so it comes from a recommendation to look at replacing them over 6 years

Your stores just said fuck it let’s rip you off

Trailer tyres probably can be pushed far since they’re not used that often. But car tyres 10 years is a good age to at least start looking at replacing them. Since rubber does age. Nothing has changed that.

In fact from this source (https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=138), it seems that tyres are now lasting a lot longer than before

[forest edge]

yea I wouldn't replace my tires like an oil change

[forest edge]

that emoji only option for twitch chat is interesting. you imagine discord having a setting like that lol

[clear ferry]

Our rule of thumb is usually 5 years here for tires, but usually they last 7 years fine

[forest edge]

they must assume everyone power brakes at stop lights

[last cedar]

Rubber gets old

Most people store tires wrong, too

@clear ferry still happy with your xc?

[forest edge]

yea if they are not made out to be a swing during off season you are storing them wrong

doh, just bought a laptop for a server.. no ethernet port

should i try a usb adapter?

[clever mortar]

USB 3 network adapters can be decent - I bought a Gbit one and it works well

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MYTSN18/

[cold marlin]

sweet, thank you

[finite atlas]

which exact laptop did you bought?

[cold marlin]

wont run into the same resource issues as the pi, haha

81we011uus

[finite atlas]

2x USB 3.2

[cold marlin]

huh, thought it had 3.0

[clever mortar]

Well, that tells you nothing about the connector type

[finite atlas]

worst case, 5gbp/s throughput per port

[cold marlin]

wont be a problem for me, i'm not doing any crazy data transfer

[cold marlin]

oh?

how do you mean?

[clever mortar]

USB 3.2 is the spec, not the connector

Could be A, could be C

[cold marlin]

ah, right. it's

A

[finite atlas]

you could just use a usb hub with at least the same spec for more usb ports

5gbps is plenty for normal at home use

[cold marlin]

right, i will need a hub, as I already have 3 devices to plug in

good grief, the driver list is painful on the install

[finite atlas]

also wifi is still just fine for your usecase, the laptop will probably be pretty close to the router anyway, right?

[cold marlin]

yeah it will

[finite atlas]

which drivers do you need?

most stuff works just fine out of the box on linux, they have improved a lot there

[cold marlin]

apparently intel wi-fi 6 ax200 160Mhz

though the actual device is AX1650i

going off old forum info, though

[finite atlas]

just wait till it arrives

[cold marlin]

and yes, i am going to try wifi first, see how it goes

I get guilt tripped when working from home, and called in when studying from home. Have a HR meeting about it this week, not happy

[umbral cliff]

You against wfh?

[glacial knot]

to have HR tell your boss to not annoy you, or because someone complained about you?

[last cedar]

Complicated. I flagged for HR that the situation at work is too stressful, I am one of a few technicans that can do everything and there isn't enough hours in the day. Often other people can go and do work I can, but then I need to go back and check or correct their work, just making more work. No structure for helping people who can't do as much, no time to show people stuff, and customers that come with too short deadlines. It is a mess

[clear ferry]

SOUNDS LIKE YOU WORK FOR MURICANS

I just agreed with my manager that I will work 100% from home from august to december, and be avaliable at best 1 day per week

because wife is starting 100% work

[glacial knot]

what's available in that context? To be on-site at a customer?

[clear ferry]

if needed, mostly avaliable on phone or chat

to guide collegues or customers

[umbral cliff]

Why do they keep you hired if they’re lucky to only have you working 1 day a week if that

[clear ferry]

I have a right to 2-3 days a week paternity leave

this is just 1-2 days extra on top

[umbral cliff]

Which is the entire working week

[clear ferry]

that I have shifted around in my leave

[umbral cliff]

I guess it works

Just seems pointless to be like “oh I might work 1 day”

Just take it all off

[clear ferry]

Imagine having rights and managers that adapt to your life situation 😄

[umbral cliff]

I don’t have to imagine

[clear ferry]

I'll be back at work 100% in december, then back to 80% in january for 2 more years

[umbral cliff]

I just wouldn’t even bother with the 1 day

[clear ferry]

If they know I'm avaliable one day a week

they can queue their requests

and I can go through all of them

[forest edge]

think we had this discussion once before. not totally against it but at the same time it does cause some complications

@last cedarthere is a solo racoon right now in my backyard.. shall I order the coyote strike?

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-coyote-lick-lips-gif-15106553

@clear ferry after I migrated my zpool properly and recreated containers, everything works as expected when overcomplicating things bite you in the buttocks

[umbral cliff]

There really aren’t any complications for getting work done for office jobs. There are few exceptions (eg governmental secret documents) or mental health reasons like being able to talk to colleagues. But there’s no downside

[clear ferry]

Migrating data between data pools online is overcomplicated?

[forest edge]

the mass demand for a work from home job is so high now regular jobs can't find people to hire

granted eventually you would think people would go broke then settle in.. but it's having it's impact that's affecting us all right now

[umbral cliff]

Office jobs. They should all offer work from home options. Other jobs are very different and variable

But working in an office is no different than working from home

You open your laptop, and you work

[forest edge]

only if people would see it as such.. covid made some jobs that couldn't really be wfh still be wfh because people had no choice and now that people have had that taste

the cats out of the bag

[umbral cliff]

Such as what jobs?

[forest edge]

there were lots, like business's that would normally have an open store laid off employee's while retaining some to the petty office type work from home while other delievered etc

the world didn't come to stop just because of covid.. it just hit a major speed bump but there are tons and tons of jobs that still needed to be done one way or the other

[umbral cliff]

Customer facing jobs never expected to be wfh though?

[forest edge]

the water plant, normally the techs would be on site but during covid there would only be like 1-2 on site while others monitored systems remotely wtc

[umbral cliff]

The petty office style stuff can be wfh. If you don’t need to be in an office then. You can do with

*wfh

[forest edge]

not an ideal situation

[umbral cliff]

If you can monitor them safely then what’s the issue

Maybe increase the number on site

[forest edge]

it's not safely

thats the point

[umbral cliff]

But if they can see what’s happening remotely?

Then what’s the issue

[forest edge]

like monitoring a computer remotely then having a power issue.. well your boned

[umbral cliff]

That’s why you still have some on site. As you said

And in that case have it so people can be forced on site in emergencies

[forest edge]

1-2 wouldn't be able to handle a big crisis lol

[umbral cliff]

That’s why I said this

[umbral cliff]

Or this

[forest edge]

it's the point of the wfh aspect and people getting a taste.. teenagers who had prior worked a fast food, retail etc etc now do online streaming etc

I know we had this discussion before

[umbral cliff]

Wfh is far better than working in an office. It should definitely be offered as an option for people

There are an obvious section of jobs where it can’t be

Those ones are usually people who don’t want to wfh as they can be hands on

[forest edge]

made you spend hours editing a file that had no purpose didn't it? lol

[clear ferry]

Well, that was my fault for oversight

[forest edge]

too much on the plate

as i stated

[clear ferry]

Wife's new job is hybrid with self designated how many days in each

That should be the norm

[forest edge]

i get it and i agree.. if an office job is designed and can be done from home 100% error free then by all means.. but the way we entered this era was not good

[umbral cliff]

Or just set free days for whatever. You chose whether you work from home or the office. As long as it doesn’t affect the job then it shouldn’t matter what you do

It’s what my job does. Makes it easy

[umbral cliff]

It was probably the only way we could enter this era. Companies hate employees working from home. It’s an ancient thinking

[forest edge]

i don't buy that, that's like those people who want to storm the capital thinking violence is the only way

alot of jobs were already heading to working from home prior to covid anyways

[umbral cliff]

Given the number of companies trying to force people back to the offices for no reason… definitely feels the way

[forest edge]

and if it had remained at that pace the world could have absorbed it

but being pushed through the door and hearing good luck sucks ass

[umbral cliff]

Except it works fine

We haven’t had a collapse of society over the last 2 years

Businesses haven’t collapsed because people are wfh

[forest edge]

you realize they are still saying we are heading for a recession right?

[clear ferry]

You guys are yes

[forest edge]

i don't think it's just us

[umbral cliff]

The recession isn’t caused by wfh lol

[forest edge]

eu faces the same issues

[forest edge]

no but it's all a packaged deal with how economy is being handled

[umbral cliff]

This sounds like you are jealous people can wfh and you just wanna say if I couldn’t do it then you can’t

[forest edge]

in what world could that ever make sense?

you think i "work"?

how the hell could i be on here as much as i am with a job that's not an office job since you think i am jealous of such lol

[umbral cliff]

Like most boomers probably make money from rentals lol

[forest edge]

i do make money sitting on my ass

I don't even need to punch in

[umbral cliff]

Lol punch in

[forest edge]

I had several jobs with old style mechanial time clocks and time cards

even saw the transition to digital time clocks lol

[umbral cliff]

My job is just do 7.5 hours over the course of the day. No logged hours and a very rough 7.5, so work 7 and it’s fine

Businesses are flexible now

[forest edge]

they call that salary.. those exists regardless

[umbral cliff]

Office jobs are more traditionally salary

[clear ferry]

Salary that sounds like nonsense that doesn't have flexible time or overtime

At least that is what my American friends tell me

[forest edge]

it has it's downsides for sure

but it's better these days than it had been in the past

[clear ferry]

I've only ever seen time clocks at hospitals, and they were based on RFID 15 years ago

[forest edge]

can't work someone for 80+ hours a week without compensation or getting in trouble like they use to do

[clear ferry]

Well, you say that

But I know people who do that today

[forest edge]

there will always be some jobs that still run on the old ways lol

[clear ferry]

And don't even get comp time

In us federal sector

[forest edge]

some people prefer it

workaholic is a real thing

[clear ferry]

He doesn't, but he has no choice

Since health care is tied to his employment and he doesn't know if he can find a new job fast

[forest edge]

he probably gets some kind of perk that makes it worth it.. noone would stay at a job if they made them miserable without something making it worthwhile

[clear ferry]

He gets nothing

[forest edge]

well in that case he's just scared

[clear ferry]

He is desperate

[forest edge]

i dunno right now is the perfect time to find a new job

soooooo many people are hiring it's unreal

[clear ferry]

Yes

I've gotten as many offers this year so far as the last two combined

[forest edge]

odd.. i don't recall you recently gloating about shoving that in your bosses face for a raise...

[clear ferry]

I did

And got a raise

[umbral cliff]

I get flexible time and overtime… it exists in salary world

Overtime through time off in lieu which works for me

[clear ferry]

I do the same

[umbral cliff]

Public service here is better if you’re a new start, easy to earn a decent amount. Plus impossible to be fired from the job due to strong unions lol

[clear ferry]

I have fixed salary, full overtime rights, comp time as needed

[umbral cliff]

They also get more super (retirement money that gets invested for you) than normal employees (15% of your income rather than 10%)

For reference, that’s 10-15% on top of however much you get in $ for the pay period

[clear ferry]

Yeah, my employer does 7% on top

Which is great

And our retirement funds aren't tied to any stocks or hedge funds (max5% if you opt in)

[umbral cliff]

Ours are just invested by a super company you chose. Can do your employers fund or chose whatever fund you want. You can’t access it until you retire so as to force people to save

[forest edge]

lol force to save.,that's an incentive to not quit

[clear ferry]

No, our pension isn't tied to the employer

So if we quit / move our pension just follows us

It goes into an account system that government keeps track of

So I can see my pension across all employers I've ever had in one government website

We get one part of pension from government and employers can add up to 15% on top of that if they want

[forest edge]

sounds like the 401k

[clear ferry]

Without fear of losing money

[finite atlas]

norway has a pretty great pension system

[forest edge]

part of your version of our social security

altho to be frank after reading the fine details of your "pension(s)" holy crap for anyone who dosen't invest 40 years of thier life lol

curious what the average pay out is for the average working person

well working to secure those restrictions lol

wtf your widowers only get (up to) 55%? what a rip lol

[umbral cliff]

Like Norway ours is also run by the government but we chose whatever private company we want to use. The money goes into those funds regardless of employer

[umbral cliff]

Average here is $337,000 for a 60-64 year old

[umbral cliff]

Yeah government pension is $900 or so/fortnight. Super is a lot nicer to have

[forest edge]

talking about thier pensions

i seriously doubt it's over 300k a year

for the average

[umbral cliff]

It’s not 300k a year, it’s one payout invested for us

Plus the 900/fortnight

Apparently your 401k is absolute crap from what I’ve heard

[forest edge]

yea that's like our standard pensions

[umbral cliff]

And the superannuation system here is a lot better

[forest edge]

but only if you work x amount

[forest edge]

it's a bonus so meh

just another means the company pays into for your benefit

but it's not the pension or social security etc

according to what I read norway has like 4-5 different types of pensions all relying on the person working x amount of years with steep drop offs for every year short of that goal. it's basically thier version of our social security

but the restrictions and the min sounded kind of aids

and that widower cut off is nuts

[umbral cliff]

Yeah our super is our money, so if we die it gets paid out to our next of kin/ whoever is in the will

[forest edge]

I feel spoiled

lol

[umbral cliff]

Why

[forest edge]

because we get more secured means of retirement

[umbral cliff]

Because you get a pension and a payout? Aka same as us?

Except the 401k is crap

[forest edge]

if mr dies after x amount of years and mrs was a stay at home mom most her life, she still is covered and secured

[clear ferry]

If I work like now, and retire when in 65 I would get $80k a year roughly

[forest edge]

and it's not a lump sum

it's money for the rest of your life

[forest edge]

that sounds kind of high

[clear ferry]

I earn a lot too

[umbral cliff]

Pension for us is paid out no matter how you worked unless you either have an income over a limit or have assets over a certain high limit

[clear ferry]

And I've worked since I was 17 with pension benefits

[forest edge]

but then people these days get paid alot more than my day

[forest edge]

see those restrictions are aids

plus i don't like your lump sum lol

[umbral cliff]

Lump sum is all your earnings over working. If you get paid more you’ll have more paid out

It lets you spend it as you want

No annual income

[forest edge]

but that's what the other crap is for.. like the 401k and your pension etc

social security is there to prevent you from being able to go broke lol

[umbral cliff]

The super is equivalent to your 401k

[umbral cliff]

That’s what our pension is for. Most older people are still on it as they don’t have a solid income that counts

[forest edge]

granted social security for the solo person who dosen't work very much or worked thier whole life making min wage won't be anything to brag about but still

[umbral cliff]

Here it’s about 500-600/fortnight for job seekers or students (non pension obviously) and then 900-1200/fortnight for age pension

[forest edge]

course with min wage being bumped up now.. i guess that min wage statement no longer holds true.. dunno

now 1200 a month for the rest of your life is alreaght

it's still kind of low

but here a person can live off that somewhat

[umbral cliff]

Welfare needs to be bumped up generally here tbh

It’s not good enough for living anymore

[forest edge]

according to what read is if you die your family only see's 55% of that

which is complete bs imo

[umbral cliff]

1200/month is fucking nothing nowadays

[forest edge]

probably, honestly kind of out of touch with the whole cost of living currently aside from what i shell out

but 1200 not that long ago here would have been livable

you wouldn't be going on too many trips but atleast your lights would stay on

[glacial knot]

do you have to pay rent from those 1200/m?

[forest edge]

yea

low income housing

you actually qualify for a lot of shit being old and poor lol

[umbral cliff]

The AU$1200/mo is what welfare gets here, including normal rent. There’s fuck all if you’re younger and poor

[forest edge]

in today's world i am not sure if 1200 would be enough but not too long ago you could even get non low incoming apartment for like 300/m

atleast here where i live, cost of living is all over the board around the country

[umbral cliff]

Where I am in Canberra housing is fucked

[forest edge]

au is fucked.. just admit it

[umbral cliff]

For housing? Yes

[forest edge]

i watch a lot of service type job youtube videos

shit is unreal there atleast in those places

[umbral cliff]

How so

[forest edge]

cost of having your pipes cleaned etc.. how plumbing is ran to begin with essentially promoting clogs

[umbral cliff]

I’ve never had to have pipes cleaned…

[forest edge]

the eletric service ones are funny

well these places could also be night and day from where you live

they don't exactly say where they are

[umbral cliff]

What do you mean by that?

[forest edge]

i like watching them cause it's neat seeing how homes etc are in diffrent parts of the world

[forest edge]

like one was a service call to inspect why a hot water tank wasn't working to find out the line burned up due to improper installation, shit was stringed all about

[umbral cliff]

Electrical stuff is normally alright here. Sounds like a shitty electrician

[forest edge]

the homeowner had no clue the entire wall behind the hot water tank which was shoved in a cabinet was completly singed and black lol

[umbral cliff]

Like all circuits in homes here must have RCDs, whilst america only needs GFCI in bathrooms. Better to just have them on everything

[forest edge]

most of the residences in these videos are older

brick and mortal type homes etc

[umbral cliff]

Even older, if you touch a circuit then you must have the circuit upgraded

All rentals must be updated

But yeah older homes not surprised. Especially if the haven’t been touched in decades

[forest edge]

the most interesting part of the plumbing ones was how the pipes would run into boxes which had groiund lvl access

but they would always get clogged

and not talking about city junctions, these are boxes just outside the back door etc

[glacial knot]

the terms for grandfathered electric installation ran out here. So a bunch of stuff had to be touched quite recently

[forest edge]

was weird, and the pipes were all like hand made which was neat.. but again proned to fail

[umbral cliff]

Sounds like a very old home then

[forest edge]

no idea

[glacial knot]

Like, older than 70s shit with only 2 lines, and ground was connected to null in the socket

[forest edge]

i was guessing 80's but then no clue when those styles home were built in au

[umbral cliff]

Brick homes can be 40s to 50s here too

50s are a big boom of them

[forest edge]

70's wiring here was two lines, the sheathe was made out of metal weave which acted as the ground grounding the metal socket box to the ground in the panel

[umbral cliff]

Very much not surprised about shitty piping then

[glacial knot]

if there's not a century to say up front it isn't old...

[forest edge]

it was kind of ingenious concept but real world it was shit cause age took away the ground lol

[umbral cliff]

It is old for australia. Also 40-50s is still old for building standards compared to now

[glacial knot]

especially for electricity
I don't think it's that much different for plumbing here.

But 40s and 50s here were mostly scrambled together stuff after the war anyways. We got 70s+ and then a bunch of stuff that's centuries old

[umbral cliff]

40-50s were a big boom for aus. Due to post war migration. Houses being built and not as great as they should be

Better than nowadays bulk built houses and apartments

[umbral cliff]

Remember we only became a country in 1901, before then it was a mix of colonies

And even then not that long

[glacial knot]

So 30 years past us. And then we had some cuts in between

[dawn prawn]

sounds like govt contract...

[umbral cliff]

Nope. Same applies for private

[dawn prawn]

your employer isn't contracted to the govt in canberra? jesus thats rare

[umbral cliff]

Not really… quite a few consulting firms spread out

Majority is defence of course

But there’s plenty other

[dawn prawn]

consulting to whom?

[umbral cliff]

What do you mean?

[dawn prawn]

do you work for a consulting firm?

[umbral cliff]

Yes

[dawn prawn]

and the gig does not flow back to a govt contract somehow?

[umbral cliff]

The project I'm on does. But seen plenty that are completely unrelated to gov contract (eg banks, or state govs)

[dawn prawn]

haha that is why you are doing 7.5 hrs. banks etc you would be pulling a lot more than that

my role is the same. 7.5 hrs, thats it

[umbral cliff]

Nope. we're required to do 7.5 as per my employer. Anything more is required overtime

[glacial knot]

why would it matter who pays your employer for how long you work?

[umbral cliff]

The client wants us to do work, employer is who sets how long we work and how much they pay me

[dawn prawn]

Yeah that is what mine is too, but the ASDEFCON or whatever Govt contract that they have you pegged against would say that too. It all flows down in the contracts

client would be paying your company for 36 hours a week

for a person

[umbral cliff]

If they make us work 8-10 hours a day then we get paid overtime. However unless you're a manager or senior manager we're not expected to work over 7.5hrs a day

[dawn prawn]

yeah same as where I am

it all flows from the clients contract, and the CoA ones are all 36 hr week / 7.5 hr day (really 8 with a 30 min lunch break)

[umbral cliff]

Yeah we do an hour lunch with 7.5hr work

Friend on a bank contract does 7.5 hr plus an hour lunch

They're the same

[dawn prawn]

stuff that, get in get out, work through lunch and leave early

[umbral cliff]

Eh flexible hours mean I can do stuff during the work day if I want. May as well keep busy

[clear ferry]

Anything before 8 or after 16 is considered overtime for me

[dawn prawn]

friend of mine was working for delloite on bank contracts, was always super long hours, calls at 6am with NYC, calls at 8pm with London etc. I guess depends on what level you're at

[clear ferry]

I seldom work more than 3-4 active hours any given day anyway

[umbral cliff]

Yeah delloite is a bad one for that

Same with KPMG

[dawn prawn]

i used to be able to say that

[umbral cliff]

Friend works at KPMG, shes expected to pull 10 hour work days with no overtime

Its fucked

[clear ferry]

[umbral cliff]

Eh got me a job thats in an industry I like and I am enjoying so far

[dawn prawn]

grads, whats that? 😛

[glacial knot]

if they'd fuck up and make such an expection obvious it'd be a nice severance package here

[umbral cliff]

Yeah its not obvious except a strong undertone. They still get paid enough even with working excess

[dawn prawn]

i still giggle at all the clowns i went to school with who stressed about studying and uni degrees etc. i don't know many, if any, that would make what I am.

[clear ferry]

I think I only know one friend who actually works with what he studied 5 years for

And most of them didn't start working 7-10 years after I did

[dawn prawn]

yeah, joined army in a decent job (not a knuckle dragger) that was transferrable to every industry, 12 years doing that getting paid from day 1.

then into a real job

[umbral cliff]

I wanted to go into uni, nice to walk out with a degree after studying two things I really enjoyed (IT and Criminology)

[glacial knot]

you also got plain lucky

[umbral cliff]

You have to be a special type of person to do army though

[clear ferry]

Eww army

They started trying to enlist me when I was 17

Tried for 6 years

Then gave up

Wanted me in intelligence for some reason

[glacial knot]

he, they didn't try with me. But I'd be out for health reasons either way /shrug

[dawn prawn]

was good, travelled, saw interesting shit, lots of experience, took a low level job when i got out, thought 'wtf are these idiots doing, make me the manager' boom done.

[clear ferry]

Got a letter in my mailbox with _unless you become a priest or a veterinarian you are hereby excused from the military _

[dawn prawn]

don't they have compulsory service there?

[clear ferry]

No

Hasn't been for decades

[dawn prawn]

hmmm lots of europoor countries do still

service of some form, whether military, hospital etc

[umbral cliff]

Lmao why those two

[clear ferry]

Everyone gets drafted, but only those who want to go in to the military go in

[umbral cliff]

Oh yeah atx definitely did some service to someone 😉

[clear ferry]

They lack them I guess

[clear ferry]

Fun fact, house interest rates are so low my car costs more per month then the house

Only 0.2% though

[glacial knot]

not anymore since the year that I'd been old enough

[dawn prawn]

To be honest, compulsory military service is pretty shit for the military itself. Usually the conscripts have low motivation which causes all kinds of issues. Good for giving some experience, maybe for some self discipline, but a professional military outperforms them any day of the week.

[clear ferry]

I think one of my 20 or so close childhood friends was in the military

it doesn't make a lot of sense. having a hard time picturing too many people concerning themselves with HA in that country atm

[last cedar]

I did. And it was sad and beautiful

❤️

[forest edge]

@last cedarso you should find this amusing i am sure. I got on the roof today to clean the gutters and found poop on my roof. squirrels do not do that and there is only two other animals in this area that get on roofs.. cats and you!

[low harness]

Could be used by those in safety to get updates on loved ones. At least one person found it useful enough to make an integration and a PR, and that’s enough.

[low harness]

Raccoon on the roof

If I had a trash can
Ya ba diba diba diba diba diba diba dum

[forest edge]

hasn't there been some kind of phone app that does all that already and has been place since almost the start? I wonder if this integration pulls from that

[clear ferry]

I love the fact that there is an API for anything

[umbral cliff]

Having it where it could send notifications or do anything else could be useful though if the app doesn’t do that

[clear ferry]

Now, I should get one in place that can trigger whenever someone posts the word supervisor in #the-water-cooler

[umbral cliff]

Surprised you haven’t given your work an api to see whether you’re working or not

[clear ferry]

I have that already @umbral cliff

[umbral cliff]

Nah you go talk to your supervisor

[clear ferry]

It's called teams status

And is available as an api

[umbral cliff]

Too bad there isn’t a watching tv teams status

[clear ferry]

Well, that could be easily integrated

By seeing the media player status

And update away message

[umbral cliff]

Except when it’s on the tv 😂

[clear ferry]

People watch tv?

[umbral cliff]

It’s called a chromecast (or other box tv)

But sometimes I chuck free to air on for the news

[clear ferry]

We turned off analogue air waves in 2009

[umbral cliff]

You do realise digital tv exists?

[clear ferry]

Yes, but that requires additional hardware, most people who use it have it on their cabins here

[forest edge]

what?

[umbral cliff]

It’s literally an antenna and a digital tv

[forest edge]

all over the air broadcasts are digital now

[umbral cliff]

In fact Norway uses the same system as australia as far as I can see

USA has their own different one but that’s not abnormal

[clear ferry]

It requires an antenna and decoder subscription here, with a card reader

[umbral cliff]

That’s so shit

[forest edge]

yea we run the new and improved ones

[umbral cliff]

Nah they’re the same it’s just yours is because you already had a different system. Because of the different frequency electrical grid

Here it’s literally an antenna, which the old analogue ones work fine for, and just pass a digital signal to the tv through a normal PAL tv jack. Parents one is from at least the 90s and still works perfectly fine for digital free to air

[forest edge]

yea yea we know.. the rest of the world hates us so much they had to go and change everything we already had to thier own /s

[clear ferry]

Since national TV is free over IP, very few bother using the dtv option for that

[umbral cliff]

It’s the same here

[forest edge]

all 3 channels of it

[umbral cliff]

Just that if I’ve got the jack I can chuck it in and it works even without internet. It’s convenience more than anything

[clear ferry]

Without internet , what nønsense, we even have internet 4km out at sea

[umbral cliff]

Oh I’ve had it once, where I was setting it up and had it unplugged

Whilst that was happening still had 4/5G working though

But really it’s convenient to just chuck the tv onto free to air, watch the news, flick back to the chromecast

[forest edge]

the new atsc 3 is pretty sick tho.. it even supports two way communication which not sure how that works

[clear ferry]

Wonder if Sodoma wants to come get our copper landline cables now that they are being ripped up

[forest edge]

copper sells for alot now, sure

[clear ferry]

That is probably why they are actually recycling it

[clear ferry]

Yes

https://tenor.com/view/please-sir-i-want-some-more-food-hungry-gif-15777344

[forest edge]

wtf just read atsc 3 can even supply internet

that has to be some kind of antenna lol

[umbral cliff]

Probably no need, since 4/5G is decent enough and I doubt it would be any better than satellite

[forest edge]

4 g has it's limitation and 5g you practically have to shove the transceiver up your ass to get good signal. they won't be better lol

[umbral cliff]

You do realise 5G can get good speeds whilst using the older frequencies (and thus range) right?

We talked about this the other day

It exists

It works

It’s still 400+mbps

[forest edge]

again, it's limited and pale in comparision to the range ota gets

[umbral cliff]

Thus satellite. Doubt ota is going to be any better

[forest edge]

no idea

i mean it could be

[umbral cliff]

Look if it is better then it could be a ultra rural way of internet

[forest edge]

it won't be anything to brag about but having the ability to be in the middle of nowhere with a solar panel and antenna and get tv and internet is sick lol

it's targets specifically at people who currently can't get access

satellite is retarded expensive so they don't even chaulk that up as an option

which is what the starlink thing was suppose to counter

but even that has limitations you can't get starlink everywhere

[clear ferry]

Lol starlink

Great in Ukraine

But it is a ridiculous substitute in a non war torn country

[forest edge]

I never liked the idea of having 40 billion space trash floating above me

[umbral cliff]

What would your solution for ultra rural properties be (granted I don’t agree with starlink at all anyway)

[clear ferry]

Better infrastructure for mobile networks tbh

[forest edge]

that's not as easy as it sounds

[umbral cliff]

Ultra rural is quite hard to do for that. Even though I do agree

The regional/ semi rural should have mobile (there’s plenty of black spots)

But I’m talking 200-400km from the nearest town

[clear ferry]

It would be easy if corporations weren't allowed to abuse consumers

And it was government controlled

[forest edge]

you gonna have towers powered off panels in the middle of nowhere? expect employee's to 4x4 to clean those panels every so often?

the ota thing makes sense.. you can push ranges upwards of 150ish miles

where as shit like 4g is only 10

[umbral cliff]

I would love mobile covering 100% of australia for example, but there are so many areas where it’s just so bloody rural and so far away (200 or more) from any existing infrastructure

Still manage to have like 98% of the population covered though lol

[forest edge]

your not asking for an automation or anything? then maybe #diy-archived

[steep kindle]

Nope, just if anyone has managed to include timestamp (generated by the device itself) together with the measurement

[hardy fjord]

random question for anyone that's worked with Cat6A - is it still a good idea to use a punchdown wall plate with it or would a female-to-female keystone coupler be better because the requirements around the length of the untwisted pairs are so strict?

... or am I just overthinking this?

[forest edge]

so out of touch with current wire i had to look up what the A was even for lol

[hardy fjord]

lol, yea, that's where I was ~3 days ago

it's a confusing space because the standards folks seem to have rolled out 10G ethernet, then sat around for a while, then noticed no one was upgrading because it was too expensive, then rolled out more standards for 2.5G and 5G ethernet that let you keep the same cables and RJ45 connectors if you just add shielding

it's a bit of a mess, but AFAICT cat6a is the way to go if you're putting something in a wall right now

[forest edge]

according to what i am reading there is no benefit to 6A over 6 at less than 200ft

[hardy fjord]

hrmmm

[forest edge]

sorry 165ft

[hardy fjord]

fair, yea

it also seems like 6A isn't significantly harder, though?

[forest edge]

the only difference i see is what you stated above about the tighter twisted pair and being more strict with terminating at panels etc but then I never used it so I don't know just how realistically strict all that is

dunno if our resident nerd @clear ferry works with it or even knows

[clear ferry]

Copper.... I haven't worked much with it for 20 years, we did Cat6 around 2004

Cat6a is what should be used for longevity if cat7 is too pricey from what I've seen in the field

[forest edge]

even with short runs? whats the diffrence?

[clear ferry]

And one should always follow code if you are intending 10G, but, 10Gbase-T is an abomination

Well, cat6 isn't certified for higher than 1g, so for any future proofing regardless of length, cat6a should be used

[forest edge]

lol they said that about cat5 and 5e lol

but here i am...

[clear ferry]

It supports 10g

But isn't certified

Afaik

[forest edge]

my setup proves everyday there are more tolerances than specifications state lol

[clear ferry]

Cat6e isn't an officially recognised standard either

Which is confusing

[hardy fjord]

yea, I'm aiming for 2.5G now since that's not crazy expensive in a house, might go for 10G eventually but I'm under the vague impression that fiber >> copper for basically all 10G applications?

[clear ferry]

Ew multigig standards

Abominations

[hardy fjord]

... but then you have to equip consumer hardware for it, and it seems like the consumer space will be running on RJ45 until the end of time or something

lol

[clear ferry]

We did 2.5g in 2008 as a stepping stone for customers, it should have stayed back there

[forest edge]

why if everything you have is fiber? 2.5G for consumer here is only because of the exsisting infrastructure of coax

well not only.. greed is probably the main factor lol

[clear ferry]

99.9% of consumers don't need >1G, the ones that do know how fiber optics work

[hardy fjord]

lol

If i make a bit copy using dd of my ssd and gzip it to get rid of null bits, then my ssd breaks and i buy a new one with the same capacity, is it possible to extract it and write back to the new SSD? What are the odds the old and new SSD have different number of BITS even though both are let's say 256GB

[glacial knot]

they will have different capacity even if the sticker is the same

if there's a couple months to years in between, even if it's the same SKU from the same vendor

as to whether you can just throw on the old image: yes-ish
probably works, but might break in not so nice ways

be prepared to do some recovery work on the image (resize file system, then resize partitions, then resize file, then repair GPT/MBR)

[agile jewel]

What do you suggest i do to preserve my Linux configuration as well as home assistant, just preserve the whole boot drive

[glacial knot]

proper backup strategy 🙂

[agile jewel]

Ideally i would do weekly snapshots so i can somehow recover them

What do you use?

[glacial knot]

Faith in hardware

[clever mortar]

rsnapshot, rclone, restic, kopia, duplicati, urbackup, ...

[glacial knot]

I backup data and configs. I don't have anything for my system configuration. And outside my laptop it also just matters less and less since I just throw things into containers and then backup their configuration

[agile jewel]

I boot my pi from sata m.2 with 5 ear warranty but you know how it is. If it breaks they replace your 50$ drive and give 0 shits about the data

[glacial knot]

I do want to setup kopia at some point though. Backup plan: the plan to setup a backup

[agile jewel]

I'll take a look thanks

Raspberry pi 4B 8GB is OP

<1% CPU usage with cameras and like 6 switches

When i view both the HD streams usage is 5%

1080p@24fps

And USB3 & eithernet do not bottleneck one another anymore

Does HA utilize more cores for different integrations? Or is it all single-threaded?

There's a big difference if i can only utilize it to 25% or use all 4 cores to 100%

[clever mortar]

HA is multi-threaded

Any idea why my router keeps dropping 2,4GHz radio? It just stops working and only 5GHz works. Log is going crazy.

[umbral cliff]

Crappy router?

[agile jewel]

It's a 100$ Asus router

It works for a month, then this starts happening. Perhaps neighbor got illegal boosting antenna messing up my reception?

[clear ferry]

Lol consumer

[umbral cliff]

I’ve lived in dense environments and never once had that issue. Your router should be able to change channel and not cause issues

[umbral cliff]

Says the one who uses linksys velop. A consumer router

[clear ferry]

Not as a router mind you

[agile jewel]

Duh what else should i be? Enterprise?

I'm a fucking student with not much cash to spare

100$ is already a decent router

[proven spruce]

didn't know there was a curriculum for that

[agile jewel]

I had it set to auto, since every time i change my channel my neighbor does too -_-

I rebooted and didn't fix it so i changed it to channel 11 but that's again just a temporary fix

Quite annoying.

My old router didn't do that 🤔 changed from RT-N18U to RT-AC59U V2. Less powerful than the old one but had AC and fixed my issues with steam link tearing

Wait that’s an ikea one?

[forest edge]

ugh I hate when you update/upgrade something and all hell breaks and it takes you an hour to figure out that the process wiped one small entry in a config file that you completely forgot you added years ago in the first place

[forest edge]

slap dd-wrt or open-wrt on it

[forest edge]

velop has been surprisingly solid for me. I wanted to try a mesh and I got dirt cheap but almost didn't buy cause atx said he had

[umbral cliff]

Yeah I was only teasing him because of his ew consumer. I like them too

[forest edge]

I do not like that it pushed for access outside of network and the pw restriction was a pain to get around. don't feel the need to have a 20 char password for internal only accessed devices

portainer just switched to required 12 char.. ughhhhhh

[umbral cliff]

Wait pw restriction? My local internal password is 10 characters and they didn’t care

But yeah the remote access (although useful for me right now) is not great

[forest edge]

yea it was like you needed atleast 8 chars and one had to be upper and another had to be a symbol or some crap

I got around having to do that but initially it was pushing for that

I don't use mine as a router just ap so I didn't want to deal with specialized pwd

[umbral cliff]

Yeah right now it’s a router for my parents place until I can upgrade it. So remote access is useful too for that

[forest edge]

is it the wifi5 one? why would you need to upgrade it?

[umbral cliff]

Not upgrade the velop, upgrade the router aspect to something else being the firewall

[forest edge]

ah

[umbral cliff]

Velop can stay for wifi until the whole house networking gets done

Then it’ll be wifi Ap’s on the roof/ wall

[forest edge]

i dunno why people push for that. really don't see the point

many of them now are designed to be compact and either sit on a bookshelf or just plug into an outlet

[umbral cliff]

They’re wanting Ethernet to go in & move where server gear can sit. So may as well get fixed wired in APs

[forest edge]

i would not want to try and add ethernet to a finished house lol

I added mine to this one when everything was tore back to the studs

[umbral cliff]

It’s not too bad, just have to work around where things can be run down the walls

Roof space isn’t hard though

[forest edge]

depends on the house i guess.. some may not be bad. mine would be an freaking nightmare

split level there is no simple up to down lol

[umbral cliff]

Parents have decent gaps in the roof spaces (two story place) so shouldn’t be hard. The hardest will be running down the walls, but since there’s telephone jacks and tv cables already then we can just work in those areas

Might have to cut a hole in one part of the plaster, but they want a full repaint inside so not too bad

[forest edge]

better pray there isn't any fire blocks

not sure what year(s) those came to be standard

[umbral cliff]

The house was built in the 50-70s. Definitely not going to have them

[forest edge]

oh yea your good

[umbral cliff]

Even modern houses may not have them here

Not sure on that

[forest edge]

yea guess it would most certainly be different per country. atx will likely chime in and say norway has had them since the 1800's

[umbral cliff]

And windows is the luxury suv next to the car? Fancy but overkill

[forest edge]

I love that my bank has took it upon themselves to start checking my credit for any changes and to send me an email every month to say nothing has changed

[umbral cliff]

Lol imagine caring about a credit score

[forest edge]

I get that it's wise to keep an eye on it especially this day and age but at the same time, i don't feel like that is something people should be having on their minds on as they live their life. With the exception of those who had ruined theirs and trying to get back on their feet or someone new waiting for the day they can finally get a decent loan or something.

[umbral cliff]

I check up on my report about every 12 months to make sure someone isn’t using it, the score itself doesn’t matter to me

[forest edge]

well the score is an indicator if something is wrong or if something is going right

[umbral cliff]

Not so much here

Means fuck all except if you’re in debt

[forest edge]

well it's tied to history and usage so it has to be used even in au for approval on some things

[umbral cliff]

Not really

They care more on income

Credit score is “does this person have bad history” and that’s about it

[forest edge]

well that's part of the score lol

[umbral cliff]

Yeah they can look at the history for that

[forest edge]

your score is a quick glance

[umbral cliff]

Everyone here starts with excellent credit score

Not how in the USA you have to build it

[forest edge]

so at 16 you can go in to dealer and buy an exotic expensive car on credit with no issues?

[umbral cliff]

Well at 16 you can’t get credit at all, under law

But if you walked in at 18 and had an income that covered it then yes

[forest edge]

then 18 or whatever you min age is lol

[umbral cliff]

They care about your income more than anything

[forest edge]

so you can get a job that pays well and on the same day buy something expensive on credit

i don't buy that at all

lol

[umbral cliff]

I got a credit card after 1 paycheque from work. 6 grand limit (because we wanted guaranteed acceptance) but could probably get 10-15k

So after one paycheque yes

[forest edge]

why do you spell it that way.. you make me rage

[umbral cliff]

Because cheque is spelt that way?

[forest edge]

another piece of proof that the british english sucks

[hushed basalt]

They don't even have their own Continent

And have to share the name with two continents

Imagine sharing your name with 34 other countries

[forest edge]

what's your point?

we are the most diversified country in the world and we set the standards for many things partially due to that fact. Our population size is directly linked to people escaping their own in search of better pastures and with all of this diversity it is still majority agreed that our initial native language needed to evolve and it did. so again, british english sucks lol

[clever mortar]

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-diverse-countries
USA isn't even in the top 50 (but then neither is the UK) most diverse countries

[forest edge]

that study seems to base a lot of the score off the languages spoken

which skews things imo

they even pointed it out with brazil

[umbral cliff]

Try this one, uses a lot more than language https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/07/18/the-most-and-least-culturally-diverse-countries-in-the-world/

[forest edge]

that is the same exact thing tinkerer posted

[clear ferry]

nice, migrating my boot pool to zfs online

[forest edge]

and with english being the most used language on the planet i mean kind of have us at a disadvantage lol

[umbral cliff]

Whoops

But also, it’s not a key component of it?

All it is is saying that similar languages share common values

[forest edge]

read what tinkerer posted

[umbral cliff]

Not that languages are everything

[forest edge]

they talk specifically about how language spoke effects score

[umbral cliff]

Still nowhere near america being the most diverse though unlike what you said

Nothing seems to collaborate that

[forest edge]

nothing shows otherwise either

[clear ferry]

I'm more diverse than america, I'm mixed heritage and I speak 6 languages

[forest edge]

whale squeak dosen't count

[umbral cliff]

So if america is so diverse, and people are moving there, then why has there been so much hate and anger about people coming there

[forest edge]

i know right

I feel like we're bursting at the seams

[umbral cliff]

(Ignoring the fact that US nationality laws are some of the easiest in the world, be born there and you’re a citizen)

[forest edge]

the hate stems from people not wanting the country to turn into a toilet. when you get to my age and see miles and miles of green beautiful land turn into parking lots and apartment complex's it kind leaves a bad taste in your mouth lol

[clear ferry]

Good thing the US has millions of miles of unused land

and abandoned towns

[forest edge]

it really dosen't feel that way

sweden and norway would be even worse then us

you guys would have a shit fit if people just flooded in and all your green poofed

[umbral cliff]

How about you guys invest in public transport so you don’t need huge parking lots

And denser living in cities so you don’t need apartment blocks out whoop whoop

[forest edge]

not really the point of what i was trying to convey lol

[umbral cliff]

Except you can increase population without the urban sprawl

[forest edge]

you cannot increase pop without losing something

just not possible

and ontop of losing stuff you also gain extra bad stuff

more trash, more pollution etc etc

[umbral cliff]

Extra bad stuff being diversity and more people to work/ pay tax/ etc?

[umbral cliff]

You can avoid the sprawl and losing space

[forest edge]

at some point it's not about who can have the biggest workforce lol

[umbral cliff]

I dunno. Seems to be the USA military motto lol

[clear ferry]

50% of sweden is just unused

they can increase the pop nicely

[forest edge]

many many american's are small town type people.. they want to to remain that way
