just make random files with notes and then grep, the most efficient approach for crazy chaotic homelab imho lol

some day llms will be able to parse your homelab notes

Technically, TTS/STT are mostly MLs; I’m pretty sure many people run these. I have a setup but I’m better with buttons that with spoken words, and I listen to ambient sounds or music. I think some day I’ll make voice assistant for talking to while driving, but that’s not a trivial task hardware-wise, even if I used cloud LLM layer, which I won’t. Putting AI on baremetal sounds like an interesting project.

I have a homemade “local agent” that can actually “code” somewhat, I use it just to figure out how this thing works on the inside practically. Mostly useless otherwise (also I have GPU that’s older than AI, so it’s kind of fun technical task to run this stuff on pure RAM+swap). Feels like the whole hype is greatly overrated, but I appreciate a chance to learn something new anyway.

Yeah, like, let’s improve the super reliable stuff that works perfectly with gambleware!

Also, this irresponsible behavior is now heresy or something? Like non-opensource code, too.

One of the most prominent improvements in Opus 4.8 is its honesty, ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope

yeah, I have email ports blocked at ISP level just because. I can have my own email server on VPS, but what’s the point then? proton.me is just cheaper (and nice too; today they cancelled a huge auto-renew invoice to me when I asked politely, no nonsence about “our contract states that you are on the hook” to my pleasant surprise).

btw what do you mean by “Do not accept 3th-party registration email”?

I use yubikey for ssh access mostly (setting it and GPG signatures with unextractable key was fun and messy). Moving secret key across machines became quite easy to do in a secure manner. I was thinking about making it boot key for my portable laptop, but ended up just having throwaway policy about its contents and relatively weak encryption passwords not worth bruteforcing. Losing a key to a laptop that could be lost itself on the other hand sounds like quite a shame. With stationary server, I don’t know, I feel like anything more complicated then a power switch that could be operated with physical access IMO does not provide extra security because - yubikey left in a rack is just as hard to push as power button.

Also make sure you have more than one, they could easily break, be lost, or eaten by a dog named Kubernetes. Seriously, I had friends who neglected this advise and got in a mess.

It’s not like I’m a fan of yubikeys, I just happened to get quite a lot of them on one of a gigs I was doing and had to come up with sensible uses. Well, signing git commits and other gpg stuff was not sensible.

Whoa, FreeDNS is a killer, I wish I knew about it before! I have domains to donate probably (unless they expired lol). I sure need to try that.

Yeah, using VPS to route traffic is an obvious solution, I’m thinking about it as the last resort here.

So how does this work then, I host DNS and it pushes my data to other DNS servers around the net every time my IP address changes? Can you share an example of how could be set up?
