Thanks Vimeo, it was fun!

For reals. Long overdue. But…. Valvetime.

Christ, just have an aneurysm already will u

Feels like it’s a cop out to just go straight for that ‘third rail’, as he puts it. Directors portraying characters and scenarios from WW2 Nazi Germany have to use restraint in depicting atrocities, in order to leave room for nuanced stories (see The Zone of Interest - 2023). Is Cameron just trying to drum up anticipation for his film? And will it be a Hiroshima action piece?

Ya this is terrifying.

Can we just have her back please.

Dark energy exists and is being measured. No theory yet. Einstein safe for now. Go about your lives.

Ermagherd that’s glorious

Your foster sheep are dead.

Heheh, that was great. I used to have an iSight camera, makes me miss it for reals.

It gloms onto the mental capital around how the internet is supposed to be free and open. But if you make an account you can then download the images etc. When I did make boards and pin things it felt like I was just indicating to interested commercial parties the things I like. But it does show you a large amount of related images quickly which can be handy if you’re looking for something specific.

The Peripheral. The graphics are cool and I really dig the main theme music for it’s menace.

That was the theme of the medical machines in Elysium. They just kinda removed all the defects and bad parts from your body. Of course it was reserved only for the ultra-rich up on the space station. Sigh.

Sure, I ended up taking apart the PicoVoice GitHub demo Python for Porcupine to integrate it into a chatGPT-powered chatbot. It’s also using google speechToText and textToSpeech, so a fair bit of cloud stuff. But surprisingly the latency is pretty low. I’m running it on a small form factor Debian Linux box from MeLE. I was trying to run it all on a Pi4B but it didn’t have the GPU I needed for the front end. The chatbot and Python side all ran ok albeit slower, but I abandoned the Pi. This is the example project I drew inspiration from: https://github.com/atxguitarist/BassGPT/blob/main/BassGPT.py

I was using snowboy for a bit but recently switched to PicoVoice Porcupine and it’s been really good. You’re even able to train a custom wakeword etc. For relatively low usage it might be worth checking out. EDIT: ahh forgive me if this is not home-assistant compatible but it might be

I use my lips to bite my ice-cream

I ditched Evernote and moved to Standard Notes. It’s everywhere for me, iOS, windows, Linux and MacOS and it has a web client which is consistent with all versions of the app. My only gripe is easy image embedding. But I’m living without it.

I’d recommend Control by Remedy. It’s got some SCP vibe and has liminal spaces, spooky supernatural shit and great looking environments and game play.
