I kinda wish we could federate jellyfin instances. Just manually, with friends I trust. Would instantly expand everyone’s catalogue.

No :(

Is there actual REQUIRED upkeep though or could you say fuck it, and go ashore with a tent, row boat and the freshwater and food required for a week?

OK I’m curious. Would I be allowed:

• my blood glucose monitor? (It’s dead weight without a device reading it, but it does have a battery and it’s glued to/pricked into my arm)
• a stand-alone device reading values from it? (Think esp32 with a shitty 1.4" display)
• since I don’t actually own that, my phone for the sole purpose of reading my blood glucose?

Ohhh that makes sense… Somehow… about Jeff Geerling. He always felt off to me in a way I couldn’t put my finger on. Guess now I have a proper reason not to watch him.

Also yes Alec is fantastic.

1. Signal
2. XMPP
3. Matrix

In that order. I self-host both XMPP and Matrix, and I wouldn’t want to stop using matrix. Spaces, arbitrary amounts of self-chats, and so on are great. I use matrix every day.

But for chatting… It sooner or later fails you. It’s slow. Notifications break. Messages are shown as sent, but somehow do not appear in the recipient’s devices until TWO WEEKS LATER (yeah IDK, happened twice already, in different chats and directions. Best part is, I’m not even federated!). Encryption is great IF YOU KNOW SOME CRYPTOGRAPHY BASICS, and utterly confusing otherwise.

XMPP just works. Especially the calls, holy shit, I had to fight Matrix for so long to make voice and video calls work, and xmpp just… Works. Notifications are way more reliable (as in, have been absolutely perfect). I really like monocles as a chat app on Android. (The downside is: can’t decrypt old messages on new devices, and desktop clients are ugly.)

So why Signal above XMPP?

Because it’s not your fault should something ever break in a vital service. Also the encryption and privacy afforded by it a great.

I’ll second Pocket-ID.

I originally had Authentik setup. It worked well enough. However, their packaging constantly broke and no-one seemed to care.

Switched to Pocket-ID and won’t be looking back. Passkey-based OAuth was all I wanted anyways. (Also, the logins themselves are noticeably faster!)

Yeah. Out of curiosity though, how far did you get into it?

(Not that it gets better in this regard or anything)

Well, no. Hopefully NOT the same shit.

Thanks, I’m very happy to hear that!

I actually have things like “play x by y” functioning really well without a LLM.

Have a custom service that exports all song/album/artist names from MusicAssistant, does some simple cleanup, and places the list where HomeAssistant expects it for custom voice intents. Then this: https://github.com/charludo/hass-closest-intent is enough that imperfect STT can still easily be matched to those song/artist/… names.

I’m just gonna shamelessly plug my project here: https://github.com/charludo/hass-closest-intent

You do need local STT, but it’s fine if it’s somewhat bad; the conversation agent linked is sufficient to “get” what you meant, without LLM.

Also, hard disagree.

“average 50-59 year old weighs 5000 pounds” factoid actually just statistical error. Average person weighs 150 pounds. Pounds Georg, who lives in a cave and weighs over 50000000000000000000000000 pounds, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Add “linux” and enjoy the empty feed

Awesome!! And thanks for actually letting me know! :D

Edit: anything for the wishlist?

This started off as a single file in my private nix config, to see if I could get it working at all. In that initial part, some parts were indeed LLM generated (esp. testcases based on my existing intents and failures).

When I noticed that this might actually work and be useful not just for myself though, I moved everything out manually, refactored and cleaned it up, and everything since has just been myself. I guess you’re still right though. I’ll see about adding a disclaimer to the README until I’ve gotten the chance to properly rewrite everything.

Yes, you can! See the “threshold” value/slider. It’s at 0.7 by default, which seems to be a good tradeoff. 1 means exact match or failure, 0 will afaik match anything to everything.

Ah, I didn’t see the Edit, so we’re both in the same boat 😂
