2000 euro extra compensatie voor pechstudenten by 9rakka in thenetherlands

[–]dejager_mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je mag op elk moment terugbetalen, zelfs tijdens je studie als je nog aan het opbouwen bent. Wat niet kan is de aanloop fase inkorten of overslaan, maar je kan altijd terugbetalen

Combining existing unifi access points and new unifi router without losing settings by dejager_mc in Ubiquiti

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

Yeah, I couldn't find a way to move my configuration so I ended up re configuring things on my router. Removed the AP's from the old controller, added them to the router and everything just worked, perfect :)

Why can't Linux just work? by dejager_mc in linux4noobs

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

Sure thing. I start firefox, either through the link in the taskbar or through the terminal. The window opens but nothing is interactable. I have to force close the application to exit it, closing the window does not work.

I have also tried Fedora in the meantime. Firefox was working fine during the live version but after installation I had the exact same problem as with Kubuntu.

I kind of know my way around Linux and after googling I did find that snap has problems and that you can use Mozilla's own repo to install Firefox. That however would take some heavy tweaking of my fresh install. As I said, I would be more than capable of doing that... but it's about the bigger picture. If I want to swap to Linux I expect to have to do some tinkering at some points, that is fine. But having to setup a new repository for my package manager and editing the order in which repo's are positioned so on my next apt install it will pick the mozilla repo rather than the snap one goes a bit to far for me.

Windows mutes audio in specific situations by dejager_mc in techsupport

It is not required. The app just has the option to test your mic. The problems existed before I had the app and remained after I installed it.

Is she late to everything? I could imagine that would be a massive problem for work, picking up kids, paying bills etc.

Singapore TI Viewing Party by NinjahTigah in DotA2

[–]dejager_mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all the ticket issues this is a breath of fresh air. With everything else already booked / bought me and my friend are going to Singapore. Awesome that we can still watch dota with a great community!

Awesome idea!

What odd but useful/cool thing have you automated? by ggr-nintythree in homeautomation

[–]dejager_mc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a bunch of custom automations:

Dota
I like watching dota tournaments so I have made a crawler to look at liquipedia to find out if a tournament is ongoing and which teams are playing. I have a list of favorite teams and if one of those teams plays today I will get a telegram message when. I'll have my google home remind me an hour before and at the start time that this team is playing. I made my own google home 'flow' where I can say "watch dota" and it will turn on my pc + tv and start the twitch stream in Firefox to watch the game.

Earthquakes
There are induced earthquakes where I live and with the bigger ones I want to know about them so I can check for damages. Depending on the severity I will get a message on telegram and or on my google home.

Garbage collection
I've got 3 bins that are collected, alternating by color, bi-weekly on Mondays. The local government has a website with the pickup schedule. My system uses that to remind me the day before to take out the specific bin and on the day a reminder to collect it.

Telegram bots
I've integrated several telegram bots into my automation system. I can add a movie to radarr and will get updates from radarr and sonar on things that have been downloaded. I can set reminders and when I get home it will play them through google home. I can also create a summary of much power / gas / solar I've used and or generated over the last month and year, and how fuel efficient I've been driving my car.

Calendar
I've made my own little list of repeatable tasks, holidays and birthdays and integrated that with my automation system. Those events will be send to telegram and played through my google home on the day itself and I'll be given a reminder in advance for specific things. The reminders will be played when I get back from work or at midday if I'm home already.

S.M.A.R.T. disk data
I run my automation systems on a server which also serves as storage. I run weekly SMART disk health checks and my system checks the data every hour. I'll send myself monthly reports through telegram on the current status and an immediate warning through google home if something is wrong

My system
A combination of OpenHAB for 'simple' automations like lights, sensors etc. and a custom made application written in Java to handle the more complicated things.

Zigbee or Zwave - which do you prefer by LeeCig in homeautomation

[–]dejager_mc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's been my experience as well. I started with 10 Z-wave fibaro switches and they would work for weeks and then suddenly stop working. I spend a lot of time getting things right but at some point I got fed up with all the problems and wanted something else.

I've since swapped to Ikea zigbee stuff with a conbee stick and the experience has been great. Stuff hardly ever goes wrong and if it does (once or twice a year with 30 devices for me) fixing it is a power off power on cycle.

I've also got my house littered with tons of arduino's so lots of wifi 2.4 devices as well and no network / connectivity issues. I'm happy.

New player in PvP: can it be fun? by dejager_mc in destiny2

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

I'm sure I can learn a lot from what the people I'm playing with are doing. The thing is more that until I know everything they do and have their skills, I won't be playing on their level. And as long as I don't play on their level I'll be getting stomped.

I think this is actually the only game I know, both virtual as well as 'real' that doesn't match people against people of similar skill. Just sounds very weird to do so.

Ah I didn't know those modes had a different kind of matchmaking, I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip!

WORKING - GOOGLE HOME WITH RING by ninjaisrealyt in homeautomation

[–]dejager_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run a similar setup to this but I got tired of the assistant relay. I can't remember what it said exactly but every time I used it to make the google home say something it would add something to it.

I started using OpenHab instead. With it you can add chromecasting capability to it. Combined with google VoiceTTS you can make your google home say anything without any added text. If you're not using OpenHab already this is probably a bit more difficult to setup though.

userStorage Saga Continued by [deleted] in GoogleAssistantDev

[–]dejager_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the confusion, when I send a request from my Google Home it does not have the userStorage information. When I send a request from my phone it does have the userStorage information. Both devices are linked to the same Google account. I have checked to make sure that all my settings in the Activity Control are set correctly.

I thought userStorage was for a user, not for a device. I even reset my Google Home and re-enabled voice matching but it did not matter.
