This is literally an orphan crushing machine story. 38 dogs were heroically saved after…checks notes…they encountered disaster on a freaking FOX HUNT run by humans?!
I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.
You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

Well, I’ve maintained my music collection from the olden days, and acquire new music as I discover I like it. I mostly have trash vaporwave tastes so I actually buy most of my music cheaply on bandcamp. My music collection isn’t massive like some peoples, but it’s a decent amount of GB. Mostly mp3, I’m not fancy enough for FLAC.
As for hosting the music, check out Navidrome. It’s a great subsonic compatible service that can run on your OS of choice. I use Symfonium on Android to access the library. It supports playlist syncing, offline caching, etc. etc.
Ugh, I KNOW. All these people developing these amazing alternatives and I have to checks notes make an effort to degoogle myself for my own good. SIGH.
Well, these were golf courses… The uplifting part IS that they stopped mowing it to let it be used for better purposes
Have you played around with hosting your own LLM? I’ve just started running oobabooga, it lets you download various LLMs and host them. I’ve been working on getting it set up so the AI can provide text for Piper, and take input from Whisper. It requires ideally an nvidia card, but will work with AMD and CPU. That would let you use the API to get text for piper to read. It’s a lot more privacy oriented than sending your queries off to ChatGPT. The larger models do take more CPU/RAM/VRAM to run, but perhaps a smaller tuned model would suit your needs.
The nomenclature I’ve heard (from sci-fi) is ‘narrow’ or ‘weak’ AI would be our current day LLMs, Roomba AIs, etc. It’s restricted in capability and lacks true intelligence. ‘Strong’ or ‘General’ AI would be at the level of a human and have true comprehension and the ability to learn. We don’t have this yet, unless Dr. Alfred J. Lanning is out there working on positronics. ‘Super’ AI will be beyond human capability. Probably will kick off the Singularity.
I’m running a few Reolink RLC-520A’s on a separate VLAN with Frigate and Home Assistant - no GPU or Coral yet, just a CPU detector. It works pretty well! The reason they might not be the first choice is that YMMV with HA/Frigate compatibility based on which model you get, a little research must be done. Frigate has some specific settings to make the RTSP work better on the models that are functional.
Like, even the UK.
