It's been a long week of doing a lot of things I never thought I would have to do after my 42 year old sister died very unexpectedly. She left a husband and 9 children, which means a lot of bills for him. If you're so inclined to make a strangers life a bit easier: www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-...

@home-assistant.io is almost ready to replace Google Home devices for voice access, one thing I wanted was a custom wake word, so I asked AI to help me out, and it spit out a Docker setup that takes in a wake word and trains a model (GPU-accelerated even!) Now to test!

This is Frankie. He thinks it's bullshit we have to go back to work tomorrow, too!

These cute little Heltecv3 cases would be way, way cooler if it somehow relocated USB C to the back of the case.

Am I missing something, is there a really great piece of hardware and software for multi-room audio all plumbed to one place? I'm using Home Asisstant/Music Assistant/Plex for the library and playing management... PUtting speakers in ceilings as we rennovate, wired to a single point.

#bird the turkey's don't want to miss out when the squirrels dump the feeder on the deck. Only one female came up to visit but the whole group was down on the ground waiting for a summary of treats available.

I mean, I think P.R. has nicely asked to be a state, not sure we should get so tunnel visioned on Canada before we do that... Seems like we'd have more ammo for the whole gulf of America thing, no? /Satire

With the release of the @openhomefoundation.org home assistant voice preview edition (one of which I have sitting on my desk) I start to think about replacing Google Assistant as the ubiquitous provider in our house.

Wife leaves to have a day at her moms w/kids and expects me to get a lot done but asks how my "Day off" was. I love her, but it's never a day off: I will always either get a lot done or procrastinate doing dumb things until I don't get anything done instead of just relaxing and having fun.

All dogs get snugs. Lilly the Queen demands them on her schedule, and certainly before bed.

I successfully compiled my Hello World #rust project and am starting to build some small example projects to get ahold of the syntax and built-in pieces. Next up is exploring the world of pre-built libraries and pieces. Contemplating using this rust/axum tutorial to work on getting off wordpress.

I fired up this 60+ year old Lionel train my uncle got as a child around the tree tonight. My kids loved it. (They bought me that shiny M&Ms car as a gift!) Some minor repairs were required but it is chugging along now!
