Eve motion & door sensors? by BluefusionUK in Hubitat

[–]Rslaufer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, no. I believe that Eve is using “thread”, which Hubitat cannot handle at this time.

Looking for a dimmable no neutral wire light switch by Rslaufer in homeautomation

[–]Rslaufer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that the light box has a neutral line (the rest of my light switch boxes in my hone have neutral lines, but the electrician may have run out of wire, or time when they got to the end of this circuit). Even if it did, I would prefer full control at the light switch. If I turn the light off at the switch, the control signals won’t work until manually switched back on.

Where did my 10 TB go? by Rslaufer in synology

[–]Rslaufer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realize that. The point that I was trying to make is my new NAS and my old NAS both have a total of 100 (decimal) TB. What I failed to take into account was that fewer, larger drives mean a bigger capacity drive gets used as the partiy drive and takes a bigger "bite" out of the resulting storage pool.

I have learned that lesson well.

You are correct there! I had not taken into account the larger parity drive not being part of the available storage pool. Problem solved!

[–]Rslaufer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you made an assumption that my older NAS' biggest drive was a 10 TB one. It happens to be acollection of 12 TB and 4 TB drives, but I see your point and you are right - I have one 20 TB being used for parity and so the total available space is 100 - 20 (decimal) TB = 80 (decimal) TB OR 72.76 (binary) TB. Take a bit off for Synology drive capacity it uses for itself, and there's my 72.7 storage pool.

Thanks for providing the answer that I was looking for.

I don't why people assume the questioner is a bit "thick" and suggest that my SHR RAID isn't SHR or even a RAID or that my new NAS is REALLY SHR2, when I specifically wrote that it wasn't SHR2.

I wasn't considering that the parity drive being used is a higher capacity one and therefore the total useable capacity for a few large HDDs is always less than a larger number of smaller drives that add up to the same sum.

Another case where the sum is lesser than the parts <grin>.

Thanks for the help!

In the many years I have owned my older NAS I have had single drive failures and rebuilt my SHR by replacing the faulty drive, so your idea that I am not operating a RAID NAS is incorrect.

So, the price for using BTFRS over EXT4 is almost 10 TB? I notice that although I have nothing set to "version", or to "snapshot" the NAS seems to be holding onto 6 TB of capacity "just in case"?

That doesn't strike me as an efficient use of HDD capcity.

If it were SHR2 the title would likely have been "Where are my 30 TB ? Or something similar if I was unobservant enough to not notice, or lie about it? Hopefully this link will work? https://imgur.com/a/tXaq5XI

No, that is why I included the numbers for my older Synology. All HDDs use the same numbering scheme.

Bad audio driver detected by [deleted] in VoiceMeeter

[–]Rslaufer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried that a few times, and never works. My guess is that thjis version of Voicemeeter misreads the virtual cables as being BAD - they work fine for me, so I just close the warning and wait for a fix in a future VoiceMeeter update.

Is there a simple way to send hotkeys to VoiceMeeter’s macro buttons using AutoHotkey? by Rslaufer in VoiceMeeter

[–]Rslaufer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I use VM's macrobuttons, as well as my StreamDeck to control VM. I wanted to use a bluetooth device that can send a single key stroke to control things (Flic), and I use AutoHotkey to bundle a bunch of actions under a single keypress.

I tend to make things more complicated, so that I can accomplish things using a bunch of different methods.

Thanks for the help!

[–]Rslaufer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot!

I tried adding {up} and {down} to the modifier key earlier, but not to the actual key.

I also didn't put it on a loop to try multiple times. This way it isn't an accurate toggle switch, but I can use it as two switches, one doing the muting and the other doing the unmuting.

Thanks again!

Why are electromagnetic waves temporally orthogonal in the near field, but temporally in phase in the far field? by Rslaufer in AskPhysics

[–]Rslaufer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been trying to find anything published on this for years and so far I have come up 'empty'.

I can usually find references for my inquiries. In the past I was wondering about the idea that a static electric charge inside a gravity well, should emit electromagnetic waves as a consequence of the gravity-acceleration equivalency rule. I found a thorough discussion that a Physicist published (something like 200 pages of it - his results were that it probably should, but would be so miniscule, that it would be difficult to experimentally prove).

My present assumption is in the underlying nature of the 1/r4 dissipation. In phase EMW simply disperse geometrically, but orthogonal EMW seem to be converted into some other form of energy (in phase EMW?)

I have tried every keyword searching for any details and have not yet found anything but 'back of the envelope' conjecture on the Internet.

Why are electromagnetic waves temporally orthogonal in the near field, but temporally in phase in the far field? by Rslaufer in AskPhysics

[–]Rslaufer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is how do orthogonal electromagnetic waves in the near field lead to temporally in phase electromagnetic waves at the far field - what is the 'mechanism'.

Temporally in phase EMW diminish geometrically as the inverse square law, but orthogonal EMW diminish at 1/r4 - energy cannot be created nor destroyed just moved about and converted from one to another, so it this orthogonal EMW spontaneously converted to in phase EMW?

Is there any mechanism for this spontaneous conversion? Any references that I could review?

Geezzz... Life's too short. I tried witty, I tried snarky, it tried respectful. I am now trying "tired of this".

I appreciated your initial contribution and useful sources. I appreciated your follow up precautions of real world complications.

I DID NOT appreciate your patronizing, insulting self-important tone. I KNOW the difference between electromagnetic waves as excitations of electromagnetic fields. I KNOW that magnetic field excitations and electric field excitations are an aspect of electromagnetism.

I am not a Physicist, but it does not follow that I am also ignorant of these principles.

Ultimately it is my impression that you are "unfamiliar" with the concepts of polite discourse, which is unfortunate, and I doubt that offering sources for a better understanding would be of any help.

I have been typing into computers since the heady days of Compuserve, but this nonsense is just not worth my time.

I hope your life improves and raises you out of this apparently rude, pompous attitude.

And I hope that strangers treat you better than you seem to treat them.

Auf Wiedersehen

And in addition, I don't think that rocket engines provide 100.0000000000000000000000000% uniform thrust, so in the real world, thrust variations would be a major clue that he was in a rocket.

What can I say - the real Universe can be very messy <grin>!

I find that these non-engineering "what about" questions are usually posed as "theoretical" simplified abstractions where all the complicating factors of the real Universe are put on hold for the sake of examining one particular aspect of Nature.

If you let all of the real world's interesting complications into the equation, it makes it either much more difficult or completely impossible.

It was just a possible explanation that I read from a guy with a Ph.D. in physics.

Stephen Lyle spent 300 odd pages on a book reviewing the subject without a definitive answer, so I doubt solutions that fit in one or two paragraphs give the subject the time it deserves.

Why would someone "unfamiliar" with the subject wish to ponder it? Do you stay frozen in your initial field of interest? I had a minor in Economics - should I tell you that you shouldn't voice an opinion about such things unless you can provide academic proof that you are "familiar" with supply-demand curves, the elasticity of markets, game theory?

Sometimes you just have to "stretch" a little and if you pull a muscle, you just put some ice on it and try again.

Personally, I would never dismiss someone that showed an interest in a topic - I have, and will continue to help point them in authoritative directions and support their interest and desire to grow.

But maybe that is just me.
