You do need a bit of horsepower to run Whisper locally. A Nabu Casa subscription gets you their voice processing, and it's quick. Granted, it's not local but I trust them a pile more than I trust either of the other two, and if I had to I'd buy a GPU and run it locally, that's their focus anyway.

Removing dependency on using cloud voice like Google or Amazon is awesome. I wouldn't use voice if that's how I had to do it, and I really like voice control for my HA ecosystem.

Christopher Hitchens on the death of Jerry Falwell

I love at the end: "If you gave him an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox." I think of that every time I hear of another one of these evil fucking dominionists dying.

Not true. Some of them use it as an instruction manual.

That sounds like the way to do it. It's under your control and it'll always work.

That's overhyped. We have new stuff, we work on it without having to get techs out.

And it'll be bricked when their app shuts down.

Blew the turbocharger on my chore tractor, so I'll be celebrating by spending $3900 at my local John Deere dealership tomorrow for a new one. Minus the $388 core, I guess.

I'd be lost without my pocket knife. I use it daily, I've even gutted a moose with it.

I don't get the sudden interest in Filebrowser. Never heard of the project before it went into Maintenance, now it seems like everyone wants to use it.

For some reason, when I registered my phone number for delivery notifications, it made a passkey and registered it with my account. It never prompted me to save the passkey, so I had no idea where it was supposed to be used. I immediately deleted it because I was concerned I wasn't going to be able to log in if I logged out without knowing what that passkey was and had it in my password manager.

It being summer here, I've stripped the inside walls and insulation. It was built in the 60s and had terrible insulation. I did have to wear a respirator because that era of gyproc used asbestos and mine tested positive. But now I'm furring out the walls on the inside with 2X material to get an R20-24, and I'll probably add a reflective layer for added heat retention/reflection. I also have to re-do the siding, so I might add a 2" closed-cell layer under that for another R8. I'd like to have it competely passive, with a greenhouse on one side to gather winter heat and circulate. Winter here is pretty much 8 months so I have an uphill battle there.

There's terabyte SD cards now, that are almost that fast.

AI slop

It's an interesting filesystem, but you shouldn't use it at this point unless you know what the hell you're doing. You'll need to be able to notice, report and help resolve bugs, and under no circumstances use it for production or where you can't afford to lose some or all of the data on the partition.

All of them are the worst. God, I hate going to weddings.

If you've been using passkeys, you'll need to generate new ones when you switch. AFAIK, they aren't exportable from Google or Apple. Which, among other reasons, is why I'll just stick to high-entropy passwords. I've had some sites like Amazon try to sneakily make me register passcodes, I've had to go back and tear them out before they screw me somehow.

And all the inmates at Folsom Prison clapped.

Hey, most people are typing on a 12 key flip phone still, aren't they?

What a weakling.
