  • I really like the project and have been happily running it on my home lab for quite a while. But for enterprise their pricing for enterprise use is not really cheap either. 510€/socket/year is way more than the previous vmware deal we're running. Apparently broadcom has changed their pricing to per core which is just lunatic (it would practically add up to millions per month on our environment), so it's interesting to see what's going to happen when our licenses expire.

  • Kappas. IS:ltä ihan pureva juttu väliin. Toki hyvin iltahöppämaisesti kirjoitettu, mutta ihan mielenkiintoinen tulokulma soitella noille ihmisille, jotka omalla nimellään ja naamallaan netissä paiskovat kommentteja täysin vailla kritiikkiä.

    Itsekin olen silloin internetin (ja www:n) alkuaikoina päässyt tähän ihmeelliseen maailmaan kiinni ja tuo jo mainittu netiketti kulki kyllä usenetissä ja bbs:ä mukana aika tiukasti ja toisinaan niitä aikoja on hieman ikävä. Nykyinen ikuisen syyskuun jälkeinen netti ei ole se sama ihmeellinen maalima mitä se oli silloin kun siihen olen itse ensikosketukset saanut.

  • I have just the normal 3x25A on main breaker box. So only about 17kW available for my house and garage.

  • I missed those on quick browse. They seem to tick all the boxes, but I didn't find any kind of European standards mentioned, no CE-branding or anything, so due to my insurance those might not be an option. I'll need to dig a bit deeper on the brand.

  • at least the particular one I got causes a lot of interference to the z-wave network, so I’m a bit hesistant to add any more of those.

  • Interesting product line, but I didn't find thermostat from them which would work as an replacement on the existing dumb thermostat. I could of course switch the thermostat to an contactor and control that via whatever, but I still need the thermostat functionality without any additional connectivity than the device itself, so at least based on a quick glance, I didn't find a product which would fit my needs.

  • Interesting product, but based on a quick search online it seems like they don't have reseller on the EU. PWM or any other kind of modulation isn't really necessary on my use case, as the building itself dictates that the floor sensor should just keep the full power on until the set temperature is reached. It doesn't hurt either, but as there's no availability around EU then I just can't get my hands on one.

    And even if I did, it most likely isn't sold here for a reason, and I'd be pretty hesitant to install that on my house for insurance and other liability reasons.

  • I think here's some misunderstanding going on. I want 3 separate thermostats which each control their own circuit, as they are now, not a single thermostat which could in itself control each of the 3 phases. Thermostats are on different rooms (and even floors), so I need different measuring points as well.

    But, as the floor heating has very slow impact on actual room temperature, I want (and need) the option that the resistive wire on the floor doesn't get too hot, but it still has an input from the actual air temperature on the room, so the thermostat can adjust that as needed.

    The Z-TRM3 ticks all the boxes on paper, but it's causing problems on the Z-wave network itself, so I'm not too interested to add any more of those to the system. Also with that there's option to just turn it off via z-wave and I haven't found a simple way to re-enable the heating from the thermostat itself, so while it gets the job done it's not optimal solution.

  • Eikä ole poliitikot ainoita, jotka tuomitsevat tämmöiset temput, oli kohteena sitten minkälainen poliitikko ja mistä puolueesta hyvänsä. Tuommoisella tempulla saattaa paskalla tuurilla lähteä henki tai tulla muita vakavampia vammoja ja olen varmaan täälläkin joskus kertonut, että minusta yksi parhaita asioita tässä maassa on että poliitikotkin voivat istua kadunvarsiterassilla kaljalla/kahvilla ilman pelkoa väkivallasta.

    Tuo Kiurun pyörittämä sotesirkus vaikuttaa omaankin elämään hyvin konkreettisesti, mutta poliitikkojen ja kaikkien muidenkin sukankuluttajien pitää pystyä tässä maassa kulkemaan ilman pelkoa siitä että joku tulee huitelemaan nyrkillä, mistään vakavammasta tietysti puhumattakaan.

  • 15€ * 20000 = 300 000. Steamin provikan jälkeen 210 000€, kolmelle tekijälle ja parin vuoden ajalta tekee vähän vajaa 3tonnia bruttoa kuukaudessa. Ei sivutoimisesta hommasta mitenkään huonosti, mutta ei ehkä vielä tuolla menestyksellä kannata päivätöitä jättää.

  • Populistien valheita vastaan toivoisinkin jotain tehokkaampia keinoja, ehkä saadaan tekoäly suorittamaan faktantarkistuksia lennossa tai jotain twitterin community note tyylistä järjestelmää laajempaan käyttöön.

    Valheista tai faktantarkistuksista en mene sen kummemmin sanomaan, mutta idea kuulosti sen verran mielenkiintoiselta että pitihän tuota kokeilla. Syötin siis automaattisesti generoidut tekstitykset youtubesta sekä copilotille että chatgpt:lle ja tässä tulokset:

    Automaattisesti generoitu tekstitys ei tietysti ole 100% tarkka ja promptitkin varmaan voisivat olla selkeämpiä, mutta ihan hauska kokeilu kuitenkin näin hyvin pikaisesti tehtynä. Noiden perusteella ihan asiallinen puhe, mutta samalla kyllä paistaa hyvin selkeästi läpi että ainakaan noihin kielimalleihin perustuvat tekoällit eivät ihan vielä korvaa ihmistä.

  • Nyt on pitkin syksyä ollut aivan outo tilanne, kun osan viikosta sähkö on melkein ilmaista ja sitten seassa on päiviä että keskihintakin huitelee useassa kymmenessä sentissä. En ainakaan muista että vuosi sitten olisi ollut vastaavaa.

    Pitänee nyt illaksi pistää kaikki termostaatit täysille ja illasta sulkea kokonaan niin pärjää huomisen päivän. Sitten jos perjantainakin on kallista niin menee hieman ankeaksi, mutta kyllähän tuo yöksi rauhoittuu ainakin vähän niin ei tarvitse kovin monta villapaitaa vetää päällekkäin.

    Ja jos tähän vuoristorataan jossain kohtaa tulee päälle vielä se huipputehon kulutus niin kyllä on omakotiasuja ihmeissään. Tähänkin mökkiin on joskus aikanaan vedetty seinään se perus 3x25A ja nyt sitten pitäisi yhtäkkiä maksaa (merkittävästi) lisää jos käyttää yli 30% siitä kapasiteetista mitä linjoissa pitäisi olla.

  • As you can connect to the internet you can also access your router (or at least a router). And when running ping, even if you had overlapping IP addresses you should still get responses from the network.

    So, two things come to mind: Either your laptop is running with a different netmask than other devices which causes problems or you're connected to something else than the local network you think you are. Changes on DHCP server or misconfigured network settings on the laptop might cause the first issue. The second might be because you're connected to your phone AP, some guest network on your devices or neighbors wifi by accident (multiple networks with same SSID around or something like that).

    Other might be problems with mesh-networking (problem with ARP tables or something) which could cause issues like that. That scenario should get fixed by reconnecting to the network, but I've seen bugs in firmware which causes errors like this. Have you tried to restart the mesh-devices?

    Is it possible that your laptop has enabled very restrictive firewall rules for whatever reason? Check that.

    And then there's of course the long route. Start by verifying that you actually have IP address you assume you have (address itself, subnet, gateway address). Then verify that you can connect to your router (open management portal, ping, ssh, all the things). Assuming you can, then check the router interface and verify that your laptop is shown there as a dhcp-client/connected device (or whatever term that software uses). Then start to ping other devices on your network and also ping your laptop from those devices and also verify that they have addresses you assume (netmask/gateway included).

    And so on, one piece at the time. Check only single thing at one time, so you get full picture on what's working and what's not. And from there you can eventually isolate the problem and fix it.

  • It'll always ask for the default configuration after hard reset. So, no, you won't lose it forever.

  • I don't know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.

  • That's better, but you still need to have single wire to loop it around, which is not normally accessible. And at least in here the term 'multimeter' spesifically means one without a clamp, so you'd need to wire the multimeter in series with the load and that can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

    Also, cheap ones often are not properly insulated nor rated for wall power (regardless of your voltage), so, again, if you don't know what you are doing DO NOT measure current from a wall outlet with a multimeter.

  • or multimeter

    Unless you really know what you're doing DO NOT measure current on a wall outlet with a multimeter. Specially not with a cheap one. That can pretty easily break your hardware, burn your house down and kill you, not necessarily in that order.

  • "Enough battery life" is a bit wide requirement. What you're running from that?

    Most of the 'big brands' (eaton, apc..) work just fine with linux/open source, but specially low end consumer models even from big players might not and not all of them have any kind of port for data transfer at all.

    Personally I'd say that if you're looking for something smaller than 1000VA just get a brand new one. Bigger than those might be worth to buy used and just replace batteries, but that varies a lot. I've got few dirt cheap units around which apprently fried their charging circuit when the original battery died, so they're e-waste now and on the other hand I have 1500VA cheap(ish) FSP which is running on 3rd or 4th set of batteries, so there's not a definitive answer on what to get.

  • With Linux the scale alone makes it pretty difficult to maintain any kind of fork. Handful of individuals just can't compete with a global effort and it's pretty well understood that the power Linux has becomes from those globally spread devs working towards a common goal. So, should Linux Foundation cease to exist tomorrow I'd bet that something similar would raise to take it's place.

    For the respect/authority side, I don't really know. Linux is important enough for governments too, so maybe some entity ran by United nations or something similar could do?
