  • My very first loaf of bread ever

    Jump

  • your ancestors would be proud, I feel like everyone should bake at least one loaf in their lives just as a connection to our past (and one of our favorite foods)

    may your dough always rise and your loaves taste great!

  • pretti good presidents day

  • that's beautiful and so sad, wow, not ready for that on a Tuesday 😞

  • Page views for "Zulip" Wikipedia article skyrocket after Discord announces its age verification nonsense

    Jump

  • zulip is great, not really a discord replacement, they don't have built-in streaming/video/voice but it's a great chat server and seems like a very ethical open-source project with a backing business, I've got nothing but praise for them

  • In Boston, a man is accused of stabbing 2 people over a parking spot 🔪🩸

    Jump

  • having lived in Boston this is not terribly surprising, street parking is straight up hunger games when there's snow on the ground

  • 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!

  • How's your HA voice assistant going?

    Jump

  • 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

  • With the current situation with Tiktok, it's time for the Fediverse to rise.

  • Decky Plugin "DeckyParty" may be the easiest way yet to transfer files between your Deck and other devices

  • This is 1000% true but some people need the gui and that's probably ok too

  • Street Epistemology

  • I had never heard of this and I thought it was really interesting! Thanks for sharing

  • I don't know if I believe this anymore ☹️

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

    Jump

  • 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

  • Bed frame?

    Jump

  • 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.
