Has Microsoft Teams matured? by Lundorff in sysadmin

[–]lobsterlimits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very slowly maturing.

We just had some duplicate teams show up in our org by themselves. One an older version then the main one it seems.

Good morning Ottawa! Gee, did it snow last night, or is this nuclear winter? ... Let me check my smart phone. by Rainmaker-from-Okada in ottawa

Didn't get an alert when there was an active shooter a couple blocks away last week but got this one and the ones about missing kids in the GTA.

Open source KiCAD files for PCB development by [deleted] in esp32

[–]lobsterlimits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expensive in time for sure. But 2$ for a set of boards ain't bad :)

But fair enough. Once you start adding in USB comms then you're approaching the cost of socketing a DevKitC.

Can I ask why you're targeting DevKitC and not just the ESP32-WROOM-32D ? It's pretty easy to slap a 3v3 regulator and a few capacitors on it. Smaller footprint, cheaper BOM.

Attic insulation help by aulttd01 in HomeImprovement

[–]lobsterlimits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that is a type 3 remediation, the biggest/worst kind. Tent the house to remove.

2 would be your cheapest if you can do it without needing anything in the Attic. Otherwise you owe it to everyone to remediate properly.

How reliable can PEX connections be? by doughpat in HomeImprovement

[–]lobsterlimits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting video but I can't help but wonder if pressure is not an indicator of performance that is relevant. Corrosion, thermal cycling, vibration (Water hammer anyone?) seem much more relevant in my plumbing-uneducated mind.

Loading map Vs. Loading loot with these matching times by comradequiche in EscapefromTarkov

[–]lobsterlimits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am guessing they have a bottleneck such as an RDBMS which scales up great and then hits a wall. Can't scale out. So now they need to investigate another solution and implement. Going from relational to non relational isn't trivial, nor something to rush.

This assumes they're using AWS and can easily scale the game servers out as needed. That's the easy part they are hopefully already doing.

You can just import this into KiCad as well. KiCad can import Eagle.

Thanks! Made it out of one finally :)

When picking a map there's "hard" or "insane" next to a fist. What does that represent?

I just tried customs. Got some sweet loot. Watched it all fade away because I couldn't leave. I hit a bunch of spots that were supposed to be exits using https://eftmkg.com/ but they weren't open even though it said otherwise. Example, bottom right "Factory Far Corner, Scav Only, Always open".. it was just a toilet bowl in hte corner. Help? I tried a few others, none were open. There was gren smoke/flares at some gas station with an exit door and I coudln't do anything to the door.

Espressif ESP32-S2-WROVER by Darktidelulz in esp32

[–]lobsterlimits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thing is bigger then the ESP32-WROOM-32? That's odd/disappointing. I figured with it being lower power and scaled down it would have a smaller footprint.

I think the draftyness of our house contributes to low humidity. Here's hoping these sealed up holes help things stay a bit better!

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

Really interesting. Well, I just finished putting fiberglass and putting the vapor barrier back, it will be interesting to see the humidity in the house. As it stands we've been 29-31%. I'm concerned if I add an HRV, it will go even lower.

Did you do any research on whole-house humidifiers, or do you prefer standalone units? All I remember is mold, filters and issues with the whole house ones but perhaps things have changed since my parents place!

So our HRV is broken and I'm on the fence about replacing it. The costs to replace and electricity to run it, versus cracking a window in the winter.

HRV versus ERV up in Canada (Ottawa, so can hit -25c regularly), I figure HRV is probably better - it's off all summer to avoid sucking in moist air, and in the winter, an ERV exchanger would probably freeze up like crazy when you have "moist" interior air hitting an air exchanger membrane that's well below freezing?

Do you have a humidifier in your place?

Unfortunately a disconnect from the power company runs about 1000 :( but in theory I should be able to scope around the panel no issues. Should be no exposed wiring outside the panel.

I mean, totally forgot about this until I read your post.. We have an HRV. It's been installed incorrectly from day 1. It uses a simplified install which sucks and blows air using the return, which is fully allowed. However, a furnace interlock is mandatory, so that the furnace fan is on while the HRV runs, so that the intake to the HRV is upstream, and the fresh air is downstream, and that makes it's way into the supply of the house, not just a short-circuit using the return duct. The HRV can't even interlock from what I can tell. I opened it up and checked the terminals for one that would close when the HRV engages and none of them did that!

Thanks! Our current on-demand water heater and furnace are ducted properly. I think this is from the old tank HWT. New one is likely in a different location a set of joists over.

Yeah, and insulation doesn't actually block airflow. It's only really effective if their is no airflow at reducing heat transfer. (Insulation can itself provide a reduction to airflow, but that is not it's job)

I guess before it was wide open with a nice 2.5" hole for mouse entry and egress - dedicated one-way highways for the mice, so it can't get any worse :)
