Just added Music Assistant to the #homelab. This has addressed all the latency issues I've been having connecting to my networked speakers. MUCH better than relying on AirPlay and one network hop fewer, which is a nice bonus!

Is this dumb? Is this a stupid idea? Using one of these to build my own voice-controlled home assistant node? I can easily add Whisper, Piper & openWakeWord to the #homelab. I have enough spare compute to host the dumbest, but functional-enough, model to process commands. Do I really need this?

To all the people on Reddit's homelab subs panicking about your services being DDoS'd, I am begging you to use a VPN. If you need to access your self-hosted source forge there is no reason you can't VPN into your home network from whatever device you're using. Bots can't hit what they can't see.

the secret formula
A comic depicting a crusty punk SpongeBob saying "Fucking Mr Krabs... counting his cash while I bust my ass for minimum wage... We'll I'll show him..." Later, we see Plankton with a crabby patty in his lab. He says "At last, I've successfully stolen a crabby patty! Now to analyze it and learn the secret forumla!" The next panel shows his computer screen saying "Analysis: 10% Sponge Jizz" which makes Plankton throws up.

I could keep writing about my little weekend #homelab project, but then I'd have to break this up into several smaller articles. I was so close to using something like Kestral, when all I really needed was a spicy cron control node. wilhelm.codes/blog/i-didnt...

Nice, my little Glazier project currently scores at an 8.1 for the OpenSSF report! My original “floor” goal was 8, so this is nice. I imagine I can easily boost that number with a bit of effort. #golang

Wow, everyone. See that tiny row of black dots? Each one is a cocktail recipe I painstakingly verified by hand from “Sloppy Joe's Cocktails Manual” published in 1931. That brought the verification progress from 1.2% to 1.5%! Almost there!

We just rolled out a big overhaul to the playtest, so if you have access to that on Steam, you should re-install it. Major changes to lighting, new cutscenes, and the first look at the S3PF Command hub is all available. Proper announcement and trailer coming next month.

One way to bypass the use of copyrighted material, specifically cocktail photographs and descriptive prose, is to create a spec around what defines a cocktail and the associated recommended glassware… and then algorithmically generate the art yourself. I should note that no AI was needed for this.

Enriched all my old cocktail data. Sourced dozens of public domain cocktail books from archive.org, extracted text layers, used Tesseract & Pillow if one didn't exist. Created a spec to normalise all the data. Now I can plot a single drink's history, changes, and its derivatives across a timeline.

Added a dot-matrix progress graph as a fun way to indicate how much progress is to be made before I'm happy with releasing the collated dataset to the world. This will grow as I add more sources and recipes. Best case, there will be between 4k and 5k recipes total. tipplers.gallery
