  • Pretty cool, I'm glad you got it working. I hope that's the gold standard going forward - we should be able to open up, inspect, and even fix our own devices. That used to be the case for most electronics.

  • Soon, human. You cannot watch it forever.

  • Let us make felinekind in our image, according to our likeness

  • Ugh, I KNOW. All these people developing these amazing alternatives and I have to checks notes make an effort to degoogle myself for my own good. SIGH.

  • C'mon man, don't be a square.

  • Boy, that cat sure has egg on it's face.

  • The wonderful thing about Tiggers, Is Tiggers are wonderful things!

    Their tops are made out of rubber, Their bottoms are made out of springs! They're bouncy, trounc....never mind.

  • Hide yo kits, hide yo Wifi!

  • Some people put ice cubes straight in the pot, so it's a slower absorption. You could also just have a 'watering towel' that you can throw on the floor under the plants if you water them in place? Finally, if you can get them to the sink easily, maybe you could use a glass watering globe to slide through the plant matter?

  • Well, these were golf courses.... The uplifting part IS that they stopped mowing it to let it be used for better purposes

  • Furthermore, I consider that Nestle must be destroyed.

    Hear hear.

  • Have you played around with hosting your own LLM? I've just started running oobabooga, it lets you download various LLMs and host them. I've been working on getting it set up so the AI can provide text for Piper, and take input from Whisper. It requires ideally an nvidia card, but will work with AMD and CPU. That would let you use the API to get text for piper to read. It's a lot more privacy oriented than sending your queries off to ChatGPT. The larger models do take more CPU/RAM/VRAM to run, but perhaps a smaller tuned model would suit your needs.

  • I've also killed a lot of plants in my time....I wonder if this is where they go!

  • Gardening in a nutshell: "My soul may be a blackened, withered and dry husk, but my plant babies are thriving!"

  • GOG Connect did it until January of this year. You could sync certain games from your GOG library and get a Steam Key for it. It wasn't popular with publishers I'm assuming, because Capitalism; the number of titles you could do it to had dwindled to almost nothing, but it's happened.

  • ABSOLUTELY.

    Never use one source for critical data! One backup is no backups! No backups is playing with the entropic forces of the universe!

    1. Have at least three copies of your data - primary, backup, and offsite backup.
    2. Store the copies on at least two different media types.
    3. Keep at least one of those copies offsite - what if your house or datacenter burned down?

    If you don't care about recovering your photos, by all means use an actively changing project as your sole means of data storage!

  • Gorgeous painting. It's depressing that a nearly a century and a half later, 'Doing X while black', sometimes even a representation of such, where X is a perfectly normal human activity is still cause for histrionics for many.

  • I like the concept, here's a few questions!

    • What's the form factor of your project?
    • Will it be waterproof or just a housing for the electronics?
    • Is it wall powered or battery?

    I've been looking at setting up soil monitors for my garden, although I'm wanting them to report to Home Assistant. I'd prefer a Zigbee or Z-Wave monitor, but it seems bluetooth or rolling your own seems to be the way to go right now.
