macOS Finder is still bad at network file copies in c/apple_enthusiast

[–] Boolean 8 points 3 months ago

Wow, made pretty much the same discoveries today trying to back up 1.75TB of photo data from my NAS across MacOS Sonoma to a SSD via the finder. Ended up doing exactly the same thing as this article concludes, booted up Windows11 PC and got the whole thing done at a consistently faster transfer rate. Sigh.

Surreal and mind blowing clip. That’s unhinged and terrifying.

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

Imagine if we could cure medical problems at the atomic level versus trying to fix them with traditional medicines. in c/showerthoughts

[–] Boolean 2 points 5 months ago

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.

Creating your own locally processed hotword / wake word for home assistant assist commands in c/homeassistant

[–] Boolean 1 points 10 months ago

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

Notes taking app in c/selfhosted

[–] Boolean 3 points 11 months ago

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.

What are some good games with a creepy/eerie atmosphere but not outright horror? in c/[email protected]

[–] Boolean 25 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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.
