and those are the people who complain the most that you "hear"
So densify cities
it's one of those things that you would have to live it to understand it
and who knows, maybe by the time your my age maybe au will experince some of it
Experienced huge population rise or urban sprawl?
Keeping in mind Iāve lived in China before too
and how did you like living in china?
did you actually live in one of your "densified cities"?
american's are sardined as much as they will tolerate right now
I lived in Beijing. Which has the same population as australia. Itās still got sprawl
Americans can live in apartments
we don't want to cram 50 people in a 30ftx30ft apartment
Wasnāt too bad. Hardest part was navigating the language barrier at first
I think your idea of sprawl and mine are two diffrent things lol
⦠thatās not what you do but okay
You donāt need those huge suburbs or huge parking lots the USA is known for
You donāt though. Parking can be resolved by public transport. Housing people have to get used to living closer
Come think of it, I've probably been to more US states than most americans š¤
Itās called adaptation
you really need to video this magic wand you aussie's have that presto this crap you keep talking about
We donāt have a magic wand. I just know we have public transport to sports stadiums for example so we donāt need 30,000 parking spaces
you guys are super compact as well
from the video's i've seen. your not as bad as china but you all live ontop of each other more than we american's would like
Eg, Kauffman stadium in Kansas, holds 37,000 people in it. The other is the mcg in australia, holds 100,000 people
Notice how little parking is needed
Wow apartment living, or townhouse living. Itās not really a big deal
your confused. just because you see a picture where only the employee's are at work dosen't mean you can shrink the lot lol
every game that parking lot ovberfills to the point where people walk for a mile just to go see it
What? Iām confused. The mcg regularly hits over 60,000 people
Because they take the train or the tram
Or the bus
they do that here as well
Then why is that large carpark needed
but that's besides the point that the parking lots most certianly fills up and gets used lol
you underestimate the sheer amount of people that go to those things lol
Parking lots are ugly (as you said) and take up so much space
you have a parking lot fetish you know that
The stadiums capacity is 37,000. Youāre not getting more than 50,000 total
50k is alot of people lol
Mcg hits the 100,000 mark at least semi-annually
Thatās double
With not a carpark in sight
and ontop of those people inside the stadium, people go and sit in the parking lot
What?
How did you get that
just looked at your stadium
Youāre saying that entire carpark and stadium is less than 20,000sqm?
MCG is a circle of about 300m in diameter. The Kauffman is about 250x300m
So the stadium itself is roughly the same size, ignoring the carpark
ā¦.
Sonoma canāt do maths again
i can't do maths? your trying to clump two seperate stadiums to one lol
Okay add in how thereās no car parks and our 4 tennis centres and a rugby/ soccer stadium in that same screenshot
I donāt get why youāre arguing the car parks are a good use of space after you just said theyāre ugly when theyāre in your area
when you size the lot + stadium it's the same size as your mcg
so i don't get what your point is
Wait so you can fit 20,000 cars and a stadium thatās the size of the mcg⦠into the size of the mcg?
so instead of parking lot, you just got more building
Thatās not how maths works
If the stadium is roughly the same size, then either youāre not counting the carpark, or youāre only counting part of it
google measure, blame it not me
Roughly the same size. Itās probably taller than your stadium
point is, the parking lot and the stadium for that lot takes up the same space as your mcg
sooo
you guys are forgetting the volume as a factor now too
i don't get why your hung up on the parking lot
You havenāt provided any proof of that. Nor screenshots
Because itās huge
Thatās why I said height being a possible factor why the mcg holds double
you can google map measure it yourself but even going off your own statement about holding twice as many people should suggest the size lol
Height varies capacity
well like i said, blame google not me
Why not just provide a screenshot of your measuring
according to it your mcg and one of our stadiums plus it's lot is the same size roughly
So provide a screenshot of your proof
so rather it be parking lot or just more building.. same diff
nah im just stuffing around- but u cant rlly reference the mcgs oval's radius as it has two radiuses bc its not a circle
because this is a dumb conversation and your capable of doing your own leg work
id say the most important factors are seating capacities, oval area, and other facilities including the car park as a plus, but a plus of the mcg has ptv
can't have parking lot bbq's at the mcg tho..
which is a huge thing here
people stay at the park for hours before a game and many hours after
I got 700x280m (assuming just the top two car parks and not any of the others) for Kauffman and 300x300m for the mcg (roughly)
that is true, does your oval have restaurants?
Can see a very obvious size difference
Also driving to a game is stupid since you canāt drink, gotta have a few beers or whatever whilst watching
What?
You do realise we also have an allowance for drinking then driving?
parking lots in the us are not going anywhere anytime soon.. that's just a fact that is unescapable
Itās just stupid to do so
Then youāll continue to have sprawl
Actually do. Then Americans donāt have to travel overseas. Win win
world is heading towards a cyberpunk game anyways
we don't travel because of immigration lol
we travel to throw our litter on your ground
This is one thing I donāt think Iāll ever get, why Americans have the largest egos and think that to win they just need to abuse and spit on everyone else
Because everyone laughs at that tactic
firs tthing i'm going to do when i visit norway is throw poo at @clear ferry mudhut
it's just what we do
Please never come to australia
it's was a joke.
We may have some ego, and like every country we have people who think they are better than everyone else but as a whole we are not what many like to complain that we are
https://www.wristband.com/content/which-countries-provide-receive-most-foreign-aid
but on that note, many Americans think we should stop doing what we always done and pull back and just focus on ourselves for a change. curious how that would impact the world seriously speaking
Yes thatās why even though itās a large number itās a low percentage of your total GDI
But like with any major player pulling out, it would cause a bit of instability
No different than any of the top 10 there
the part that chaps my ass, the countries we aid the most are the same one's who try and fuck everyone else
india is one of the largest scam originator countries in the world
turkey is the second i believe
When listed by per capita US ranks way below most rich European nations. It's below Australia as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_development_aid_country_donors
Average Norwegian spends more than 8x that of average American š
hello atx!
what's your point? per captia is always going to look higher with fewer population
It also aligns with adjusted for % of GDI. Which would vary based on how much a country produces
so what
(Also capita, more people = more money in = more money can go out)
So Mr Kās point stands
if you were to balance that out where every country gave the same amount by "per captia" that would be stupid
either we would be fully carrying other countries or you all would be paying a penny
we shell out enough as is, and don't recall anyone saying you broke bastards aren't doing enough
jesus ladies
did someone have a few too many drinks tonight, or did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
just usual british english people trying to spin truths to make themselves feel better. nothing abnormal here lol
Somebody clearly needs more hugs
you offering?
If it'll make you feel better... sure. You may just have to wait a while before I'm over in your neck of the woods 
(don't mind the spikes on the armour, they're decorative)
i thought you wore skirts?
If you have trouble spelling kilt you can use that word
kilts, skirts, dasiy dukes.. all the same
Probably too British for him to spell
this channel needs more american's
Iām here just have the energy or will
needs more non-mod american's.. pretty sure that role has sucked the fun out all those it touches
Itās too damn funny itās apples and oranges
Just create accounts for each of your invisible friends š
anyone know of a good reason i was using tar to back up my docker folder to backblaze?
now that i have photoprism set up (with 30+GB cache), i want to stop that
Hold on. This can do OpenVPN too lol
any downsides to using AWS glacier deep archive for photo backup? other option is b2 thus far
Expensive to retrieve stuff
which i will hopefully not need to do
hmm, amazon photos is free since i have prime... though i sort of feel like i will just be doing this again in a couple years when they change their mind like google
or if i ditch prime
I do google unlimited for $10 a month fixed, and jottacloud unlimited for $7 a month fixed
then I do crypt mount on both of those
i think i need so little that b2 will be rather cheap. not even sniffing 250gb, so it should be like $1/mo
thought i had a lot more
I'm planning on setting up a box at my parents' house that I can do remote backups to. I'm going to make it power up once a day, VPN to my home, and pull my latest backups from my local proxmox backup server. I'll probably go with something like 5 10TB drives in a raid6 in a random used or cheap computer.
Going to be way cheaper long-term.
that's pretty legit, i like that
I did remote backup to my parents from 2008-2013
Worked great
I even had a stretch L2 between the sites
Lol the job interview ended up being a home automation discussion with the CEO
lul
lulz
I talk home automation with EU managers a lot, they all love it
you are automation your entire house, wow, that is insane insert bonkers Dutch accent here
Somebody should introduce those managers to system orchestration tools š
He have full knx with finger print etc but wanted to expand. Love interviews like that
ew knx
Its expected for many smart homes though
I've only ever seen it once irl
it made me feel like we were living in 1988
like that strange american home automation system from the 70s
what was the name of that
At least it integrates in ha
with the right hardware yes
X10 was the one I was thinking of
what in tarnation, X10 is scottish
no true scotsman

the comment i want to give to it, wont pass the community guidelines of HA
well that's not what I asked so cool š
international sports fan gatekeeping is among the worst of them all
(just going to hazard a guess that that's the lens you are coming from based on that statement)
Or maybe the post that it links to is just plain weird
I don't think it would have been that weird for the people it was directed to (NFL fans)
Turning things anime is weird generally. Unless thereās a huge cross over between NFL and anime
do you watch football?
I thought it was clever and I only watch the super bowl (where I only sometimes care who's playing)
No im not from the USA
They call Football in the down under.. Ball Fondling or Soccor
making football players in an anime style kind of made them smaller then they really are
OK so then again, what's the point of your opinion? I started with a question and somehow people who don't apply to that question have opinions on it?
it's basically an inside joke and you are poopooing the joke with no context, which I tried to start with to limit statements like this.
people these days...
The Chargers did desert us for LA, so I have mild feelings of annoyance...
don't take it personal. I rile them up all night then set them loose on everyone else during the day
ah you are a san diegoer?
that's a city that I love to visit and I always wonder if it would be a good city for me
but I'm here on the east coast and not leaving anytime soon
not taking it personally, just don't understand why people feel the need to shit on things that have no meaning to them because "lol USA". we've had this conversation before so I know you understand
the only countries I will shit on outside of my own are India (because my family is from there) and Canada (because I worked with a ton of Canadians for a while and it was fun)
I donāt shit on it, I just say itās weird thatās all. Not saying they canāt do it
Yeah we made our own football here, depending where youāre from itās either rugby or AFL
(Two separate sports, very state based where theyāre popular)
I tbh hate anime, but the point was about talking about sports rivals. I think if someone put out an AFL or rugby league vid that was similar, you'd have a better appreciation
Enterprise level IT
Honestly, would still agree with it being weird lol
You say that like enterprise doesnāt do that shit too lmao
Enterprise can't afford downtime. And messing up the system to the point it can't boot is... Amateur
So far he has been acting like the smartest person on the planet. š¤·
How do you know that he doesnāt have fall over? So system fail but no downtime
(But also enterprise people have stuffed up worse, see when major services have gone down)
There's always system downtime, that's the nature of doing IT right.
Doing (enterprise) IT right means that you shouldn't have any service downtime as a result.
Of course, shit always happens
Yeah, so, the secondary site is down because somebody drove a lorry through the power and comms supply to the building, which is now on fire
(actually happened in one case)
I'd honestly be confused if our National Karate association did something like that.
Probably even if JKA did (for anything not confined to Japan)
Do you have a sports team and fun rivalries?
Yes
Ok and do you guys ever do rivalry knocks against the other teams?
Rivalry knocks?
make fun of each other
Not really
nah, we have you to make fun off š
lol
every sport aside from apparently aussie ones make fun of each other in competition
Well we do, itās just not a huge part
Start of the game thereās giant banners usually with a witty line
not really. sometimes fans sing some BS, but teams don't try to attack teams. It's just bad sportsmanship
But again, no matter what, I would judge any sports team for doing anime lol
@glacial knot are you aussie too?
Can agree
like I said, not an anime fan, just thought the production was fun
but you have to get it.
otherwise I can see how it looks pretty stupid
And Iām judging the use of anime
cool
then where?
At least they don't kill each other because they are patriotic racists
#FreeTheNword
What?
hey man, that's not fair. we just ban abortions and stuff
Kinda ironic that USA that fights against racism is anongst the most racist countries. Why y'all so full of hate?
Making fun of Asians is racist too but all you see at racist is the white-black conflict
meh maybe publicly
asian racism has been a topic for a while here post coronavirus
publicly = internationally
GrEaTeSt CoUnTrY invading east for resources and killing innocent people = America is the savior
Idk man. I feel like USA is the most hypocrite country. So stop shitting on Australia
Last time i checked they weren't involved in as many international conflicts as US
I don't think I did?
At most they fight kangaroos
my only point about countries was to talk about sports
I was meaning this comment. Not aimed at you
Emus, not Kangaroos
And we lost thank you
Aussies are Asians?
Also aussies are incredibly racist. People here are just better at hiding it
I'm confused why you are trying to shit on the US for me making fun of Australia. But I need popcorn š
40-50 years ago we had a policy where you had to be white to immigrate to australia. White australia policy it was called
Idk so far all Aussies i talked with were pretty chill and nice
Americans on the other hand... Pretty toxic thinking they are the best. Both online and in video games.
Ah yes, the Australian cultural heritage š
we will beat the christianity out of you because of how amazing we are at it
50 years ago you couldn't even find a decent job as an afroamerican in USA
I assume that was to get Nationality? Or was it impossible to get work visa otherwise? o.0
I'm atheist and if i had to choose I'd prefer satanism as Anton La'Veys bible makes more sense.
It's only 80 pages
80 pages is a lot of pages
That was to move and live here. It was introduced post war, and kept till the 70-80s. Non white coloured skin was not welcome back then
So comparatively weāve come a long way
In America, you are most likely to die due to a gang attack. In Australia you're most likely to die due to getting kicked in the balls by Kangaroo or bitten by a spider.
Are there venomous spiders in the cities or only in the country side @umbral cliff ?
Yes. Snakes and spiders in the cities
Kangaroos too depending where in the city
You're an aussie right?
Though thereās also the blue ringed octopus which is in the rock pools by the sea. No antivenin so if you get stung/ bitten you go to hospital and get put on a ventilator and hope you survive
Yep true blue aussie
I believe in your supremacy over America
Thanks for the emoji @clever mortar š
Do you get like an antivenom?
Have you even been bitten or stung?
There are no venomous spiders nor snakes where I live (unless they escape from a zoo) worst thing that had ever stung me was a wasp. And a lot of mosquitoes. I hate them. I wish they all died
And black ants like to walk over me and bite me. Annoying
now for the real question. @umbral cliff have you ever bitten someone? (Or stung for what it's worth)

Nah I leave that for atx
tgif
pretty good video of what more common smaller tornados are like. not many videos show multiple viewpoints of the same area. https://youtu.be/T2Qu7cgwJmw
Surveillance cameras at Prairie Creek Elementary School in Andover, Kansas, captured an EF-3 tornado as it struck the school and a nearby YMCA on April 29, 2022. No students were in the building when the tornado struck, and no one lost their life in the Andover community. The Prairie Creek building sustained substantial damage in the storm.
Cool. The car just lifted off lol
that was a F3 but that town has been hit a few times by F5's
Y'all cray
Like the Norwegian doofuses that live in flood areas
_yeah, this is the sixth time my house has been destroyed in the last 10 years, hope it will be better next year _
Just move you idiot
you have parts where the ground literally just turns from a solid to a liquid out of nowhere with no warning
rather be in a tornado then have the ground turn into a liquid beneath me in a blink of an eye
We get tornados in Finland as well but usually a lot smaller
Caused by the hot breath of the Norwegians? 
Possibly. I have no better theories either
its funny seeing murican buildings doing a quick forced disassembly, all you see is wood & paper
not sure where that wood even came from. that school is made out of brick and concrete lol
but you dont see any stones flying
so hm, what should i build my house with?
wood & paper!
some of that wood looked pretty pristine so maybe there is a lumber yard near
at the 1:30 mark is the best part of that whole video. don't think i have ever seen camera footage of a tornado that close before

The current iteration doesn't really provide anything since you can't trust it to take you from one place to another so you'll be babysitting the car the whole way
I think you gotta look at how far it's come in time it's taken to get there. while fully no fault autonomous vehicles won't likely be a standard in my lifetime I think it will certainly be for many of you
There are lots of people that think it will happen within this decade
I donāt think it will happen this side of 2050 or 2060 lol
I'd assume it happens this or next decade. But Tesla is clearly not going to lead the charge
they are and have been so far. not sure why you would say that other than just being biased lol

Hello. I just joined the discord. I am wondering where I can appropriately post something: I am looking for someone I can pay to remotely log in to my computer and help walk me through setup and configuration of HA on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4 gb). I want to configure it to run with my existing devices including Kasa, Eufy, Simplisafe, Rainbird, MyQ, Smart Oil, Ecobee, Smart Life, Ecowitt, Somfy MyLink. This "off topic" thread seemed like the most appropriate place to ask where the appopriate place to post is.
Itās not that hard to do yourself though. Docs are very clear and you donāt have some random on your computer
hello, bitches
You could ask on the forum, though you really need to learn how to do it yourself

@Tinkerer is the forum a thread on the discord, or is it something on the HA website? I do know that other people find this easy. I am hoping to have someone tutor me briefly so I can do it myself. Just need a little help early on.
You can find the community forum here
./points to the video channel that has all kinds of good tutorial type videos on HA
oh wait
Not everyone wants to spend hours editing a phantom file and trying to learn from trial and error why something doesn't work.
And I cringe when I see some make the statement in here that "documentation is clear". A lot of that shit is cryptic as hell, sure it's clear AFTER you understand it but may as well be looking at Matrix code before you understand it.
spend time and effort so others have an easier time? What is this? Communism?
I don't spell check with cheque, the written word is faulty and unreliable thus the need for videos.
Communism would be everyone has to have the same bad time
And you have to wait 10 years for it

So because a car gets stuck in a dodgy car-stacker you say more carparks should be built 
Maybe if there was public transport then people wouldnāt need cars in the first place
lol because a car gets stuck.. that shouldn't even be a sentence ever uttered lol
People utter it anytime thereās traffic jams. Cars get stuck.
Car stackers are like all tech. Can break. Preferable to fit 30 peoples cars than dedicate an entire block to a concrete carpark
and all it takes it was squashed to trap all remaining 29 cars rotf
And if insurance/ the body corporate had acted fast everyone wouldāve been paid out for their stuck car and then itās on the insurance to get them out
thats another thing. no one is taking responsibility nor lifting a finger and this your neck of the woods
maybe you should go have a heart to heart with them about mor epublic transportation
Yeah because just like in your neck of the woods, insurance companies are shit
Theyāre in the heart of Melbourne. Most there donāt need cars. They have about 10-15 tram lines and all the train lines there. Plus all the bus routes
well if they didn't need them then why they complaining? how those cars get there to begin with
maybe not all aussies feel as you do š¤
A) youāre using a segment from a current affair (designed to be trashy & provocative),
B) even though you may not use a car that much, you might still have one (eg me, donāt need it for the shops or work but itās useful)
C) Some people do happen to be out of the range of the PT network, because itās not had money spent on it
maybe you should check on your car.. that might be yours squashed down there in the video lmao
Never said we were ideal, just that for some things we have done better
Such as stadium access
Australia is lacking on PT heavily unfortunately
Just because thereās ownership doesnāt mean you canāt improve public transport you knowā¦
that shit wouldn't fly here in the US, probably why we don't have anything like those stackers
I can't even imagine companies telling people they are not responsible lol
Thereās plenty of them in the USA
Youāve never heard stories of insurance companies denying claims?
dunno where
Iām not American and even I have
Still donāt get why youāre against improving public transport as well as roads sonoma. Equal investment means you save on petrol if you have PT
never said I was against it, but glad you guinea pig's are showing us what not to do lol
Yeah thatās why weāre looking towards europe for what to do
maybe that's your issue
lol
i like how that one lady in the video was going off about having more rights in china than australia
Yeah thatās completely wrong but goes back to my point about a current affair being sensationalised shit rather than news
it's still words out of aussie's mouths tho..
Yes because like every country we have idiots
I wouldnāt judge all of America based off some of your politicians or residents
uh
We don't, we just have less gifted citizens
you kind of do

What? About public transport? Thatās a huge complaint not just one person
(Plus a lot of that we have more rights than China appeared because of the anti Covid/ anti lockdown people were trying to say we were in a dictatorship
the only people to complain about public transportation is youngins
and many cities are giving them what they want
Didnāt realise the under 40 or under 50 age group were youngins
i mean to me...
Well thatās everyone under 100
i disagree with the 50's tho
Still, youāre arguing about introducing more public transport
Itās better for everyone to have it
seems more like thw 20's-30's
Why not agree
i just stated cities were already addressing it
hell KC here we just got a new tram/trolly like thing
Except it canāt just be a city thing it has to be done on a state or national basis
yea well you don't even have that
We have alright intra state, terrible inter state
you have what everyone else has
well not everyone.. we don't stuff our cars in a pit underground to get stuck
Except places like europe have trains linking them to everywhere else
Nor do most apartment blocks though tbf. Most have normal underground carparks with 1-3 spots per apartment
we have trains that span across the whole nation
there isn't anywhere you can't go that a train cannot take you
well the very north point of alaska you can't go by train lol
does norway have trains or is the ground too unstable?
We do, most of them built by the Nazi regime
so like everything else you have then
Where I'm born we joke we should have let the Germans stay another year, and we would have trains
I haven't watched commercial TV for ages. Holey shit Tracy has stacked on the beef. Almost as much as me.

Nice! Keep'em comin!
I was thinking, is there a bluetooth tracker or something out there wich you can use to finde, your keys or purse and things? possibly with the possibility of sending an audiosignial and the integration in HA? Is there such a thing? Has anyone a tip? I was thinking something like tile.
Of course, you want to ask in #integrations-archived or #hardware-archived really
I went here to avoid you telling me its not realy a hardware question XD ok I will move it over there š
Big question. I just put tasmota on gosund sp111 + added it to home assistant. I wan't to create some graphics to have the data there... at this moment if I take thhe gosund out from power all data is reset...

NOT THE RACCOON
what is wrong with you
I wanted something like my nemu neko, but couldn't ifnd anything š¦ so more fliptopus kinda stuff š
Do they hold the cooler? If so, then they are the right ones
looking at it, it might just about work funnily enough
depends on whether they broke the PCB. But if they fit the holes rather exactly this should work
is that your 5th element costume?
oh lord the new litter robot 4 is like 650 bucks
yeah, I saw that too. I think my 3 (before they had wifi) was like $400 and that seemed crazy
it's similar sticker shock to when phones crossed $1000 and along with robot vacuums.
yea the 3 connect was 500 lol
I've tried pretty much every automatic catbox and it's definitely the best, but they know it
well it's a made in america product too lol
I do like the fact that they don't gouge you by requiring certain specific litter or bags
the litter robot 4 weighs the cat which is nice, tempting for that feature alone
I wish they could make it less gigantic, but that would probably require smaller cats š
the review i read says the 4 has a smaller footprint than the 3
it's the height that's the problem for me. I have it in my laundry room and it gets in the way of the drier door
the whole thing has been redone, aside from the core way of how it works every piece is diffrent
ah yea, dunno if the 4 is taller or not
that's where the ones with a rake were better, but they're clearly inferior in all other ways
i like the ramp for 3 which dosen't seem to be an option for the 4
I also saw that they have some fence addon that prevents cats from shoveling litter outside the globe, which mine do all the time
the 3 has that, it's not as pronounced as it's rubber unlike the 4's being a snap on plastic
that rubber thing does nothing other than give my cats something to scratch up while trying to move litter
I didn't care for how tall it looked in the video.. cats stepping over that might be an issue
lol
works for me
Kitten nerds
it's a fine line between making it unattractive or impossible for cats to get in there and containing the litter
don't worry, i'm sure there will be a new robot yak box coming out soon
time will tell how the 4 pans out. they redid all the sensors to try and adress the 3's failures etc so we'll see if those last
but the ability to track each cats weight is just so nice
I bypassed the "pinch" sensor because it kept malfunctioning
the review i read said they are gonna release a way (based on cats weight i imagine) for the thing to distinguish which cat uses it
I just added some spade connectors and tied the leads together
ours shot crap within warrenty, and it's still working knock on wood
it really sucks to come home after work to find that the litterbox has decided to stop in the upside down position
I just don't understand why anyone would pay $500 for a litter box that you still have to empty. CatGenie all the way.
I have one of those sitting in my garage
Had problems?
it was okay for one cat once they stopped trying to sleep in it, but the cycle time is really, really long and was problematic with more than one cat
Yeah it is like a 20min cycle time
I would find that one cat would use it, it would start its cycle, and then there were 20mins of "no catbox" that was a problem
I really wanted to like it, and only had one cat when I had it in service, but it's not an option with the 2 I have now
Just setting it to run a certain number of times a day didn't solve it?
there's still a long period of time where it's out of commission, and cats don't understand that
Hilarious that they tried to sleep in it
haha true
I don't have cats anymore, but it worked really well for me. I can see it depending on the cat's though.
Then again you could always just get two of them for about the same price as one of those other ones
can't believe how expensive those are for what they are
I also didn't like that they lock you into the cleaning cartridges and special litter
and some cats just hate that litter for some reason
Yeah, that's fair. You used to be able to mod them, but I guess they fixed that by now.
yeah, reminded me of the ink cartridge and Keurig lock-ins
For me just never having to mess with it is worth paying for their cartridges.
I do hate that business model in general though
I forgot that they were so tiny and used to play together like that
I will say I had one unfortunate experience where it broke down and i had to fix it because it was trying to bake their crap. Definitely not fun. But that happened once over like a 2 year period.
mine was also really loud when suctioning out the crap slurry. Plus, the whole idea is kind of gross
I could never use that unless I had the ideal spot with access for the dump hose
Yeah that's another downside
plus I thought that required a special solution you had to use with it?
that's the cartridge on the top
yeah they have cartridges you have to buy for it
but you don't have to empty bags of crap
I still have it and a bunch of supplies, just not sure whether I want to inflict it on someone else
it's so different that it's a hard sell
What is the emptying process like on the litter robot?
yea the tray cleaning is way easier than dealing with something that complex lol
one thing they recommend is dumping having it eject into the toilet, but again, kinda gross
pull out tray, grab bag, tie off bag, put in new bag
litter robot is pulling out the tray, grab the trash bag and toss lol
EZPZ
what about liquid waste? just absorbed in normal litter?
you do need to clean the inside of the globe every so often and vacuum litter that escapes it
it's just normal litter
clumping
gotcha
at one point i thought about cutting a hole in the bottom of mine so i could sit it on a trash can or something lol
Ultra high capacity mod haha
we dump ours every 2 weeks so I decided against it
but if you had a lot of cats and only one litter robot, that thing would fill up quick lol
I do it once a week when I need to take out the trash. It used to fill up earlier, but I put my pig-cat on a bit of a diet
Add a new one to that list, dymo label printers too lol
Litterbots are great
Before we had to 86 the cat it was the greatest thing since sliced bread
We had a Litter Robot III
Very big and bulky though
But had no lockin consumables
They sold them but they're trivial to just use generics. Like garbage bags and carbon foam etc

I would like to back up my RPi SD Card, but it shows me 2 volumes in the win32 disk imager, the F: and G: partition both on the SD card. Does it matter which one I will Read?
You almost certainly want to image the card, the whole card
Otherwise, it really does depend on what OS is on that card, and what you're trying to do
the card shows as this
You're asking about HAOS... you wanted to ask in #installation-archived since it's not really off topic
Right, and the #installation-archived channel would still be the right place
There's no support for Home Assistant here - please look at the other channels for that. If you can't work out which is relevant, start in #general-archived.
If it's a question about the HA Yellow see #yellow-archived, and #330990055533576204 for the Blue. Install related problems go to your Installation Method channel.

If you image the card, you have an image ... it should fit on the same size of card, but some manufacturers make them slightly larger or smaller than others
I hope everything got backed up, as I'm going to reformat the Card now. š
I don't want to boot into a black screen once I restore the card.
why?
SD cards are not designed for this
They're designed for cameras to write photos to
Are you saying that I should waste 50⬠on an SSD just for the Home Assistant?
Yes
Waste... if that's what you want to call it
Alternatively, keep buying new SD cards as these get destroyed
I have no other PCs to run it and the Pi is my only choice.
The least power hungry.
Pi4 + SSD (on a powered hub) is ok
Pi 3 is enough for me.
Hopefully it is a 3b+
it is
don't need a powered hub for ssd
You should
only if you plan to run other devices such as zigbee sticks etc as well

Yes

Just like EVs, they are so subsidized here that even a 2-3 year old EV with minor damage will get totalled
because spare parts are worth more than the new parts
typical. a "truck" in your lands does the same amount of damage to a vehicle our shopping carts do

Why is the windows 11 taskbar clock suddenly showing a waxing moon symbol in the middle of the day during a full-to-waning moon?
they added a moon phase to win 11?
If so they did it terribly badly.
Seems to be some focus mode. How do I turn that off?
Great. Now if I could just turn off the random notifications about windows doing what I have told it to do...
should be able to turn that off as well
think that's under privacy in win10 may be same for 11

if it weren't for mobile phones being linux I would wager you typed that under windows lol

hey, stuff just works, across all customer environments and vpns
now you sound like an apple fan boy
imagine if there only ever just one OS used on everything. not referring that being be windows or linux etc
Was that a Beatles joke?
Just to butt in - I tried using an SSD in a USB caddy (PITA doing it, didn't work in the end, total waste of time) but you can get specialist SDs that are a little more expensive but far more reliable and resilient, which is what I opted for in the end. Here's a decent guide https://home-assistant-guide.com/2020/10/14/the-best-microsd-cards-for-home-assistant/
I wasn't planning to use my project for a long time as I wanted to just try the Home Assistant, Android and other projects for the short terms.
And the SD cards were the only available options for me.
Anything will be an upgrade from an SD card, and anything will be an upgrade from a pi3 tbh
RPi 3 and an SD Card is enough for me and my needs
And the SanDisk Extreme cards are great for the performance.
yea rpi3 can handle simple HA needs
the only thing i don't like is the 60/70% constant mem usage lol
It's quite fast and the boot time isn't that long.
for me, it was much lower
even while using the ewelink bridge addon
maybe zigbee adds on to that dunno
The only thing I want to use my Pi is for the Sonoff wall switches and my own ESP8266 lights
yea simple stuff it works just fine
yep
infact if they made a lite version many would use it on the zero's
It even handles the Android 9 with my IPTV app.
Most of us have seen what happens when trying to grow on a kids toy
not everyone wants to "grow" though
sometimes you use HA for a specific reason and once you have the basics set up you don't even want to touch it to update it etc
A Pi is probably fine for people who just want to replicate the experience that they get from existing off-the-shelf HA ecosystems, like the "automations" that IFTTT, or Alexa, GH, etc. support via their mobile apps. And I imagine that lots of folks are perfectly happy with that and it feels like just the right amount of magic in their lives
Me:

how much energy in kWh is stored in two 12V batteries connected in series with each one one rated @140Ah
so why did you ask then?
also if its lead acid, you only want to discharge them as little as possible, ideally not under 50%
Must be the Energizer Bunny
I was more thinking people who use HA as an alternative to running python script ect to fetch a little bit of data from various sources

The King: Directed by Eugene Jarecki. With Elvis Presley, Eugene Jarecki, James Carville, Mike Tyson. Forty years after the death of Elvis Presley, a musical road trip across America in his 1963 Rolls Royce explores how a country boy lost his authenticity and became a king while his country lost her democracy and became an empire.

ranked choice voting?
you are allowed to take photos in your booth? o.0
and you're really ranking into the 70s?
you'd think that it would just become a random number generator after a while
I just can't decide between 48 and 49....
Fortunately preferences are usually exhausted by the the time you get down that far. Also even if you know a candidate has a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected but you really like their policies you should still put them first. Your preferences flow on to your next choices once they are eliminated, but they get funding next election based on how many primary votes they got.

I just heard on the ABC how Albo stumbling about some number was the low for the Labor campaign...???!!
We need media reforms
And an ICAC asap
How does albo talking on the abc mean media reforms?
No I meant journalists claiming that this one fumble was the low point of the campaign
But never mention anything about the past 9 years
Of all the LNP's corruption
It's not just the ABC (which has had their board stacked with News Corp peeps), it's News Corp, 7 West Media and Nine Fairfax
The past 9 years arenāt the election campaign though
Sure. But it's the media's job to accurately paint a picture of the past performance and what's actually going on
The election campaign shouldn't be where this starts
Forgetting a number (that's arguably wrong anyway because 1 hour of working per week isn't working to me) isn't a low point
The whole election season was the gotcha numbers, and going from that scomo did manage to get them all. Albo missed a few. Not that itās an accurate or nice way of doing an election
Though disagree about abc being liberal heavy, given theyāre the main ones who pounce on their fraud or fake statements or the 4 corners investigations into the LNP shit going on
It's childish behaviour, plus it's dangerous and damaging for our democracy
They have lost their high quality journalists bit by bit. They need to have their board sacked and replaced with how it was beforehand where the government didn't pick who to go on the board
