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?

Got bored and added light cycles and exploding breached nodes to "The Grid" on my toy domain's landing page. Give it a go and watch the fun! nightcity.network

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!

So. Many. Fizzes and sours.

Definitely CPU bound. I wonder if adding more cores would scale processing linearly.

Getting AudioMuse to index my modestly-sized digital music library so I can get more dynamic instant playlists via Navidrome… Only 18 more hours to go…

I'm a whopping… 2.3% finished verifying all my ingested cocktail specs. I'm going to be here all night. 😅

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.

MacMini has been delivered! Managed to upgrade the RAM and get it sorted for installing #proxmox. Needed to take a moment to admire how much engineering when into this kit. Say what you will about Apple, they design great hardware!

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.

Yep, definitely getting indexed 😅

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

Yeah, Okay, this is definitely going to be a thing now. Plant Smart is effectively “done”, so why not make another?

And, if you install the `ltex-ls-plus` package from homebrew and integrate it into Neovim, you get inline diagnostics for free:

Self-hosted LanguageTool plus Harper are just… 😗👌 Though, odd UI quirk, if you've installed both browser extensions they will be triggered by the same grammar mistake. You'll get two context modal placed atop one another.

Isn't this just a newer / realized version of their cancelled Courier concept from 2010? I've always liked the idea.

One my favourite things I've recently added to my blog's design is a "mini changelog" at the bottom of each article. This data is sourced directly from the associated file's git history at compile time by Hugo. You can see a fun little timeline of all my stupid missed steaks.

Well said and the timeline agrees! My Open Graph image rotates through a few quips at random and today it picked "Perpetually one refactor from perfection." Nice juxtaposition.

I can't stop thinking about this image.

Only fair to show the cold start as well. Just under 29kB 😌

The final optimization of my blog shrank the single largest remaining remaining file, the favicon, from 7kb to just under 3kb. It was originally 1/3 of the page's cached download size. It's now an 1/8. The cached main page is now ~7.5kB. lol... lmfao
