  • Your foster sheep are dead.

    • Webcams SUCK, so I built my own one - f4mi

    Jump

  • Heheh, that was great. I used to have an iSight camera, makes me miss it for reals.

    • What is Pinterest for?

    Jump

  • It gloms onto the mental capital around how the internet is supposed to be free and open. But if you make an account you can then download the images etc. When I did make boards and pin things it felt like I was just indicating to interested commercial parties the things I like. But it does show you a large amount of related images quickly which can be handy if you’re looking for something specific.

    • what was your favorite thing about your first car?

    Jump

  • Honda accord sedan with flip up headlights.

    • macOS Finder is still bad at network file copies

    Jump

  • Wow, made pretty much the same discoveries today trying to back up 1.75TB of photo data from my NAS across MacOS Sonoma to a SSD via the finder. Ended up doing exactly the same thing as this article concludes, booted up Windows11 PC and got the whole thing done at a consistently faster transfer rate. Sigh.

    • How often do you upgrade your phone?

    Jump

  • Around every three to four years, particularly for major photography-related upgrades.

    • Which TV series intros do you not skip by choice?

    Jump

  • The Peripheral. The graphics are cool and I really dig the main theme music for it’s menace.

    • Imagine if we could cure medical problems at the atomic level versus trying to fix them with traditional medicines.

    Jump

  • That was the theme of the medical machines in Elysium. They just kinda removed all the defects and bad parts from your body. Of course it was reserved only for the ultra-rich up on the space station. Sigh.

    • Creating your own locally processed hotword / wake word for home assistant assist commands

    Jump

  • Sure, I ended up taking apart the PicoVoice GitHub demo Python for Porcupine to integrate it into a chatGPT-powered chatbot. It’s also using google speechToText and textToSpeech, so a fair bit of cloud stuff. But surprisingly the latency is pretty low. I’m running it on a small form factor Debian Linux box from MeLE. I was trying to run it all on a Pi4B but it didn’t have the GPU I needed for the front end. The chatbot and Python side all ran ok albeit slower, but I abandoned the Pi. This is the example project I drew inspiration from: https://github.com/atxguitarist/BassGPT/blob/main/BassGPT.py

  • I was using snowboy for a bit but recently switched to PicoVoice Porcupine and it’s been really good. You’re even able to train a custom wakeword etc. For relatively low usage it might be worth checking out. EDIT: ahh forgive me if this is not home-assistant compatible but it might be

    • Do you bite your ice cream or use your lips?

    Jump

  • I use my lips to bite my ice-cream

    • Notes taking app

    Jump

  • I ditched Evernote and moved to Standard Notes. It’s everywhere for me, iOS, windows, Linux and MacOS and it has a web client which is consistent with all versions of the app. My only gripe is easy image embedding. But I’m living without it.

    • What are some good games with a creepy/eerie atmosphere but not outright horror?

    Jump

  • I’d recommend Control by Remedy. It’s got some SCP vibe and has liminal spaces, spooky supernatural shit and great looking environments and game play.

    • What exercises can I do to strengthen my willpower?

    Jump

  • Dr K at Healthy Gamer has a tonne of really great advice for dealing with this and especially for ADHD sufferers. He talks about urge-surfing and how to develop and strengthen the parts of your brain that end up giving you back control in terms of decision making, willpower and responding to habits. Here’s a short on urge-surfing but have a dig thru the rest of the channel https://youtube.com/shorts/SUgJdsTCs0E?feature=share
