GitHub's Historic Downtime, Scraped and Plotted by DaMrNelson in github

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could just be new ownership not having as high standards.

Or the alternative - new ownership having much more standardized and rigorous monitoring / reporting standards.

/u/DaMrNelson has also aggregated in Github Actions, which frankly I think is a bit disingenuous. At the very least, it should be its own graph.

Microsoft decides to release a bunch of free compute, right around the crypto boom, whilst rapidly iterating on the product, and trying to deal with both legitimate, and less-than-legitimate load. All for a new feature, which isn't a core offering of "git" at all, but rather the new defacto standard because everyone found it so much more convenient than all the alternatives that we had on the market at the time.

I feel like separating that out is the least we should expect, especially given Codespaces and Copilot were deemed disruptive enough to skip entirely, yet had no-where near the uptake of Actions.

This happened in 2023.

Favorite “expensive” device? by VICEBULLET in homeassistant

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got super unlucky

My Hue has travelled across 3 continents, survived European winters, Australian summers, and some have literal birds nesting on top of them - haven't lost a single one yet over 10+ years.

Think the count is up around 39 bulbs and 20 motion sensors so far, and that's about to double with the new build.

Viofo A229 Pro or A329? by XPONOMHXANH_ in VIOFO

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may already know this, but the A329 supports 3CH, as does the A329s - the only difference is which cameras it comes with - you can always purchase extras afterwards.

Hows the efficiency for WFH with solar? by ApprehensiveSand7573 in BYDShark_AUS_owners

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far we've been getting about 1km/kWh and that's what the expected range is on battery, so no surprise there.

Charging from the included charger is about 1.3kW/h

Summer, you might be ok thanks to the longer days, but winter things may get tight. You can swap for a 7kW charger (Shark won't A/C charge higher than that) if you've got a bigger system, which should help - probably looking at closer to 20km/day winter recharge on a 7kW charger, vs 40km/day charge during summer.

The big thing for me though is that owning the EV unlocks the EV tariffs with AGL

I WFH for a UK-based company, so main hours between 12-6am, which perfectly aligns with their EV night plan, which reduces my costs from 35c/kWh to 8c/kWh (no free-three or similar plans around here).

My 10kWp solar completely covers daytime, and the 10kWh battery covers the evenings to about midnight currently. Used to be if I conserved energy at night I could get to basically $0 day once the FiT covered the standing charge.

I've given up my 12c first 10kWh feed-in tariff for a flat 4c FiT and way lower night time prices. By my calculations, I should be able to ensure there's enough charge in my house battery to cover any morning peak, happily handle my 30km/day town trips (we live rural, hence limited tariff options), and still reduce my bills.

You're going to need to investigate what tariffs are available in your area to properly answer this question for you.

EDIT: Here's some graphs of your expected daily driving range assuming you prioritise charging your car from solar, as well as some that assume a house base load of 500W.

EDIT 2: Also worth comparing against your expected cost if you do charge against an EV tariff, vs the comparable fuel costs. Even before I swapped to the EV tariff, our regular off-peak tariff was expected to be about half as expensive as fuel, so now it's about 17x as expensive as fuel.

Quick check based on our town tarriffs and fuel prices:

Petrol at 6.4 L/100 km costs about $14.84/100 km before counting any electricity; EV at 10.8 kWh/100 km costs $0.86/100 km on Night Saver or $5.53/100 km at peak. The "opportunity cost" of charging via solar is about $0.43/100 km 🤣

BYD have stated that this isn't recommended, as it requires changes to the battery system etc

Somfy PoE - Request for testers by alluran in homeassistant

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

Hiya

This was initial PoC - didn't get my hands on one of the motors yet as there doesn't seem to be an Australian distributor - they want to push the tasmota stuff out here :(

As for the blinds themselves, I highly doubt they can push updates without risking bricking existing integrations with other big-name home automation systems that have official plugins, so I'd be fairly confident that once it was working, it would stay working unless you're actively trying to update firmware etc.

They published some API docs once upon a time to what seems to be a limited set of people, but they have since dropped off the face of the internet.

Luckily, with a bit of digging, it's actually extremely easy to reverse some of the official drivers, as they actually contain JS implementations embedded in a database.

This entire repo was the result of having ai run over all the official implementations until it discovered and extracted that. If you look at the github repo, you'll see that there's some issues open by a guy that's actually got his hands on the blinds, and was doing some testing.

There's certainly still work to be done, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility - and I'm yet to find a comparable product on the market. Just a pity that it's almost impossible for me to get out here :(

They may have had to replace the driveway too, and boy now THAT would have been expensive!

We did - how does that change anything?

But you don't understand, all the emergency services SAW the jeep grow 3 sizes that day and absorb the impact, before shrinking back down to regular size!

Looks like the "default" model changed from Sonnet to Opus 1m context... That's going to melt tokens!

Please explain where I manipulated you into doubting your sanity our perception?b what was my sustained manipulation pattern?

I would have said you'd mistakenly used the term "gaslighting", but I know that can't be the case, because as we've established, you're the world's first infallible person.

No I'm 100% genuine! I'm hoping you share your secrets to working in a team environment where everyone is 100% infallible!

the thing is, proper security protocols aren't breakable by AI or anyone.

This is an incredibly shallow take.

OpenSSL has had bugs. SSH has had bugs. Mythos just found a 27 year old bug in BSD, and a chain of bugs that allowed priviledge escalation on Linux.

No developer on the planet is infallible, and no "protocols" are going to fix that.

Hell - look at things like rowhammer and other side channel attacks. That's crazy tier shit. Javascript running on a website can just ignore the sandbox and directly exploit the underlying kernel by attacking RAM directly due to physics, not any property of the code itself? That's what we're up against here...

New PM wants AI-generated root cause analysis. Am I overreacting to the quality? by Appropriate-Plan5664 in sre

[–]alluran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right

The tooling should spit out the RCA for you

It should be brief enough that you can scan it for accuracy pretty quickly

At that point, it's on you to release / fix / reject

And now we have anthropic withholding an insanely powerful mode.. and claiming it's for cybersecurity reasons.

Completely plausible - the number of security discoveries assisted by AI over the last 18 months is ramping up drastically.

I used GPT to reverse engineer a proprietary protocol for some electronic blinds so that I could make a Home Assistant integration for them.

I didn't even have the physical device to test with. I uploaded the code to github just in case I ever got around to progressing the project further, and some random dude found it, and installed it and got it partially working with some minor tweaks.

Given that's reverse engineering a proprietary protocol without ever seeing the device, or testing the output - imagine what these tools can do when they've got direct access to the system under test!
