Any pointers where to begin?

Maybe things have improved but the last time I tried the Home Assistant er- assistant, it was garbage at anything other than the most basic commands given perfectly.

As soon as I heard about this I knew 404 Media would be on top of it. Very happy with my subscription there.

It’s not, but you bring up a very good point about responsibility. We need to be using language like that and not feeding into the hype.

I don’t even like calling LLMs “AI” because it gives a false impression of their capabilities.

I loved this episode, it was really funny to hear “normal” people navigating getting an instance up and running, but they did without too much trouble. They also have 7K monthly active users since creating it, which is a great infusion of fresh blood to the fediverse.

How did you set them up with Plex?

I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.

Last time I looked into it something wasn’t working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I’ll give it another go…

Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer…

As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.

I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

While I wouldn’t say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

wow 9/11 changed everything

Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄

We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.

We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.

It seems we agree on the facts, but not on what “useful” or “helpful” means. I honestly have never, ever considered deciding on what food to serve guests be “labor”, but in the interests of replying in good faith I asked an LLM the exact prompt you gave. It gave a long, detailed reply, but here is the first part labeled “1. Welcome / Cocktail Reception”:

Mini prosciutto‑wrapped melon balls • Brie & caramelized onion tartlets (store‑bought puff pastry) • Stuffed mushroom caps (herb cream cheese + breadcrumbs)

I want you to consider that this not actually helpful in the slightest, and is fact creating more work. Consider: is there a vendor nearby that has these items as an an option for event planning? Is this a recipe that even exists? Does this information further my mission of having a wedding in any conceivable way?

Those paragraphs are what I’m talking about. The author fails to explain what the LLM actually did that was helpful. It’s like saying “I used ChatGPT to plan my wedding menu” without any more details. What did it actually do? Why was it helpful? Those are the things I continue to not understand about these tools.

Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it.

OK well I’ve thought about it and I still don’t understand. Surely, this thousand word essay can explain what ““AI”” can do right? Surely it’s not the same vague nonspecific claims about “missing out” on the future?

It is simply impossible not to see the reality of what is happening.

Huh. Guess I’m just really dumb then.

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…
