  • How's your HA voice assistant going?

    Jump

  • that looks promising, I think I can see a path forward there, I still need to dig into the new calendar functionality, thanks for sharing!

  • Forgot to add, something I really want to figure out is how to do reminders with it. I'm stuck using Gemini on my phone for that and I'd really love to find a way to do that in HA if anyone has any tips.

  • We've been using the previews since they shipped. The Mycroft wake word has worked well enough for the whole family. Tried the chatbot fallback but the syntax of the intent parser is strict enough we were getting routed to the llm way more than we wanted. For example asking it to turn on a light and Claude telling us it couldn't do that. It fails faster and more reliably with just the intent parser.

    Our favorite use case is shopping lists. "Hey Mycroft add greens to groceries list" is great and won me some WAF. I also regularly use timers, some custom commands (hey Mycroft I fed the dog), and managing lights with scenes (hey Mycroft turn on Daytime).

    I'm hoping to one day transition to a local llm that's fine tuned for homeassistant specific tasks and it looks like some good ones will arrive soon. The existing implementations haven't won me over yet.

    Dunno, I'm a big fan and the wife doesn't hate them, I'm really optimistic about the future of these. I think HA is going about them the right way and we'll see good things in the future. It's a little rough right now if you're not willing to put up with the quirks probably but I think it's just going to keep getting better.

  • TIL there's a short TV episode where Mark Hamill plays himself getting abducted by the Joker and the Trickster, both also voiced by him

  • Learning Linux can be difficult but fuck is it satisfying when you figure something out!

  • Mmm, cheap compute, one of the best parts of the hobby is always having something to do with any computers lying around.

  • Better watch out, my first taste of the kernel was a dual boot Ubuntu installation in 2006, 20 years later and I administer hundreds of servers now. It escalates quicker than you think.

  • Bed frame?

    Jump

  • Lol, so much this, we've got two under 4 atm and I'm so glad we've got an IKEA couch they can beat on instead of some nice thing we'd be scared of them tearing up

  • I'll tell you something not to get, Ikea, they certainly have a place but it's not BIFL. I've been a little disappointed recently in how quickly our Malm is deteriorating.

  • Facing Worlds, the iconic Unreal Tournament map

  • I used to load this map up with low grav and bots and sit in the tower with sniper rifle blowing off steam and heads, so many good memories.

  • I was recently gifted a Steam Deck for Christmas! If you only had a budget of, let's say 50 bucks, what would you get?
