What degenerate world are we living in, parents wanting their children to succeed and do what they know is causing _you_ to discriminate them for their success?
1. There is one specific "addon" developer/employee who wraps opensource docker containers and automates the releases through github release builds and proceeds to link the about page of addon to his donation page. Example: Nodered, InfluxDB, AirSonos/Cast addons in HA have no link to actual projects or their repos.
2. Absolutely have no standard for stability for what should be critical software, just check the number of production releases to end customer devices this month. EIGHT, yes they pushed eight releases to core app to end users, that's beside the "addon" updates that the guy does with his automated releases.
3. Thanksgiving week of 2021, they pushed a ZWave update which the guy rewrote how events are processed and proceeded to brick everybody who updated.
4. F*ckin forced OS update, the developer refuses to be able to turn off forced HASS OS updates. If you block the update hostname on your router the stupid script to check updates goes crazy and starts eating up CPU.
The design reflects team/org chart, just as you would expect in a big org.
The site says you can request somebody from FAANG for mock interview, without knowing quality of these interviews, I assume that would require this company pay for their time.
What do you mean by that?
All WSB does now is magnify the winners/pumpers while leaving trail of poor people without their money.
Genuinely curious on what Snowden thinks on how Russian gov handles their dissenters compared to US.
Even if they start without expensive setup they will see their peers in office and will match their setup pretty soon.
I planned on buying NVMe extension cable, cut a slit in case, run the cable outsidde, plug in NVMe to 6xSATA adapter outside of the case and keep the SSD's outside, this would need reliable external power supply for SSD (Amazon sells them for ~$30, but I don't trust them).
I believe you will get to ~10-15w with this setup, at which rate you could build regular ITX/MATX case to hold all SSD's with i3-10100 and be at ~16w idle.
Pi will be single purpose device, the "micro" can be full blown server and comes with ALL parts required, no need to hunt for good PSU, case, cooling, storage. Some of them come with 1 Sata and 2x M.2 NVMe, so you can literally pass those NVMe to TrueNAS in proxmox and run full blown NAS with encryption/encoding/decoding in VM.
The fan ramps based on usage, as I said, Ubuntu server with HASS OS, VS Code Server, Netdata monitoring, NodeRed, Sonos Airplay, InfluxDB and few other containers, it's barely gets to 2% CPU usage and CPU temp at 25C.
Look at Pi, they have been at it for SO many years and that shit is slow with no real storage interface, they are only faster compared to their own previous generation.
These are built solid with metal enclosures, fan cooled, UL certified PSU, ~7k CPUbenchmark.net. Usually i5 6thGen Intel CPU, 8GB-16GB RAM and have REAL storage(SSD) and M.2 NVMe. If you are lucky you might find vPro version with remote management.
Currently running a HP G2 bought on Offerup for $70 with i5-6600T, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD running Ubuntu server with HomeAssistant VM and few containers. It idles at 7w, with <2% CPU for my work load.
I tried Raspberry Pi with HomeAssistant with it's piss poor antique storage solution, it idled at 5W, it went straight back to store.
Node-RED automation is SO much better than home assistant automation or Huggins, ability to deploy modified flows when nodes on same flow are kept running is AMAZING!, makes dev cycle so much faster.
I use home assistant's builtin zwave, homekit controller, homekit bridge, Sonos, and InfluxDB, everything else is commented out. It's all running on used $50 HP Prodesk G2 with Ubuntu server with HASSOS in VM, VS.Code server in docker. Uses about 7 watts/hr.
And the f*kin needles which are SHARP and can get over 2 or 3 inches long are dangerous and a pain when trimming branches.
F this tree, I would take any native state tree over these.
