Also came here to say Nightcrawler. I was 15 when I saw it, and of course at the time I thought nothing could freak me out, but I wasn’t prepared for Jake Gyllenhaal being that creepy

Tbf, the 4GB ram limit was partially due to 32-bit architecture still being so prevalent at the time

A level of Bible fanfiction Danté would be proud of

I’ve actually been wondering how feasible it might be to set up a Lemmy or piefed server just for me. Is it frowned upon in the fediverse to essentially have a “vanity” url for an instance no one else can join? How difficult would it be to manage blocklists/federation without a team like the large instances have? Would there be an issue with instances refusing to federate with a single user instance?

It works with wildcards, but only if they’re pre-defined in some yaml. It’s great for i.e. defining areas a robot vacuum should clean or days of the week for a weather forcast, but might be a bit of a pain for shopping list items unless you only ever use your voice for a select few.

As for what I’m using, it’s just called speech-to-phrase and I believe it’s now the default when setting up a new Voice PE (although that might just be on lower powered hardware). If it wasn’t set up for you, it can be installed as an add-on and then configured as a Wyoming protocol service.

This is why I started using speech to phrase instead of speech to text. Sure it’s technically less flexible, but I only need a couple of voice commands for occasional tasks that are impractical to automate with sensors and it’s blazing fast

Take another minute to think about just how many stars are in the solar system…

Is this really causation though? Could it not just be that kids that spend less time looking at screens are less likely to be short-sighted AND more likely to spend time outside?

You’d have to pay me a million dollars to move to the US right now…

Actually, no I think the amount would be significantly more than that

antipopes

Do they annihilate releasing huge amounts of energy if they touch the regular pope?

Iirc, some of the streaming sites now exclude that episode from being shown

How the artist’s name is supposed to be parsed:

Analog Nowhere

How my brain parsed it:

Anal OG now here

I have almost 50 containers running on a £75 used mini pc from Ebay, chucked in the bottom of a cupboard. Anyone that tells you you need a giant server rack to self host is a gatekeeping moron

Does anyone know of an RSS feed for the newsletter? I’ve been trying to use RSS for more stuff recently

Big honerable mention to the interview with Trump where they pretended to lose connection. (It’s not a coincidence they named the capsule Integrity)

So the “amazing tool of the future” that’s “going to make software developers obsolete” is also going to need to buy software licenses?

Which one is it Microslop?

Evan Edinger has two fantastic videos talking about this:

(Sorry, Ik YouTube links are a bit taboo on the Fediverse, but they’re worth watching)

I think the word “construction” is missing from OPs title (after “begin”)

The best way I found to combat spam was to change my email address. Was it a pain? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely yes.

Suddenly I can just give my email address out to services I trust, and I set up a temporary alias for anything I don’t (although I tend to avoid those these days anyway).

Yes, that seems to be the aim here. Also note that this is being provided by a community member and is in no way affiliated with the HA team
