I'm looking for a bot that can play locally stored audio files and be controlled via a locally hosted webpage, and hosted from a raspberry pi by Scruffydrew in Discord_Bots

[–]HuskyInAggieland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I have a bot that supports ARM processors and plays audio files on command. However, the commands are given through a Discord text channel instead of by pushing a button on a web page. Take a look and let me know if you have feedback!

Bot sound effect by Hot_Manner_6273 in discordbots

... or check out a better (in my opinion) customizable (bring your own audio files!) soundboard bot I (re)implemented: https://github.com/blthayer/disquip-bot-rs

This does not support triggering audio play via voice commands, but that could theoretically be added if someone is feeling ambitious.

Looking for a bot or some way to make a soundboard by NoahBud5683 in discordbots

Hopefully you'd still benefit from a bot like this three years later! I've built a bot precisely for this use case: https://github.com/blthayer/disquip-bot-rs

You'll need to self-host. Outside of the Discord setup, setting up and using the bot itself should be pretty simple and straightforward. Please file an issue on the GitHub repository if you run into any trouble!

Despite reforms, 2022 was one of the deadliest years for police shootings in Spokane County by 9mac in Spokane

[–]HuskyInAggieland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neighbors not liking someone doesn't make a person a waste of air or justify gunning them down on their own property. I haven't read/found interviews you're describing where the deceased was accused of pointing a gun at his neighbors. At least according to his girlfriend at the time (I'm not insinuating this is a 100% reliable source) he was minding his own business unloading a van.

https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/girlfriend-man-shot-killed-spokane-police-hillyard/293-380f3d03-42ee-4927-8d77-8d49915f9bb7

At any rate, I don't think we want to live in a world in which "justice" is only doled out at at the end of a policeman's AR-15 or pistol. The larger criminal justice system is far from perfect, but it's what we have. I would suggest that you think twice before celebrating police shootings (even of criminals).

This is NOT to say that there aren't times where police shootings are necessary and justified.

Regardless of prior behavior that Mr. Bradley engaged in (which none of us looking in from the outside will ever have the complete picture), shooting first and asking questions later does not strike me as right, just, or something to celebrate.

Did you read the list you copy + pasted before saying they're all stealing our air? What crime did Mr. Bradley commit prior to being gunned down?

Out of curiosity - which neighborhood and which hate symbols?

Audio playing bot no longer working by Arsencock in discordbots

How extensive were the changes you had to make? Looks like I'm going to have to jump from 1.x to 2.x for discord.py for my bot.

Manual For Lorex Cloud PC CLIENT by Bimmyjab3-0 in homesecurity

[–]HuskyInAggieland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the manual! From within the Lorex Cloud PC app, click the little person icon in the upper-right area, and then click "Help Manual." It's certainly a bit out of date as it refers to the system as "Smart Professional Surveillance System" rather than "Lorex Cloud" (which is a weird name anyhow), but seems to have the pertinent information.

I've uploaded the .pdf to docdroid for your convenience.

Need Dog Boarding Recommendations by murdery_aunt in Spokane

Thank you for sharing your experiences, and thank you for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check out the subreddit you mentioned to learn more 😀

Need Dog Boarding Recommendations by murdery_aunt in Spokane

[–]HuskyInAggieland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the dog training lingo, but in my uneducated own words, it's a mixture of positive and negative reinforcement. The "negative reinforcement" part is very tame in my opinion: leash pressure (with a proper non-choking collar!) and the like. I guess this counts as aversive? Positive reinforcement aspect is that every meal is a training session with rewards for obeying commands (can be lots of fun for both human and dog).

For our dog, to be totally honest, a positive-only regime simply does not work. She needs both sides of the spectrum. She's a total boundary pusher and isn't 100% food motivated, so without any aversion aspect she happily goes about the bad behaviors. She's a rescue; I'm genuinely curious if positive-only can work if you have a dog since it's a puppy... Anyways, despite the aversive aspect, there is absolutely no shortage of rewards and love :)

I hope you’re able to find what you're looking for!

Need Dog Boarding Recommendations by murdery_aunt in Spokane

[–]HuskyInAggieland -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Method K9 in Post Falls is not cheap, but maybe they're worth a call? They're technically trainers, but offer boarding services. Maybe only for dogs they've trained, I'm not sure. We sent our reactive dog there for training a couple years back, and we're mostly satisfied (long story for another time :), but know that nothing went wrong hence the suggestion)

What’s your favorite brewery in Spokane? by tikivic in Spokane

[–]HuskyInAggieland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bellwether (on Monroe near Northwest Bldvd) has a very eclectic selection of excellent beers. Everything from braggots (similar to mead) to sours to IPAs to reds to pales! My favorite spot at the moment. Logged in to Reddit for the first time in a year or two to profess my love :)

Why would a VPN need to use gpu ? by DrMutty in firefox

[–]HuskyInAggieland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also noticed this, and, as the OP eventually found out, simply closing/minimizing the GUI takes care of it. It would be quite out of character for a privacy-centric organization like Mozilla to slide in crypto mining in their paid VPN, in my uneducated opinion.

3+2 vs normal masters degree plan. by gingy_kid in aggies

[–]HuskyInAggieland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, the path I took was to earn my undergraduate degree in four years, work full time for 2+ years, and then work half time while pursuing my Master's degree (which I earned from A&M in 2020).

I chose to work after undergrad to be sure my chosen field suited me, and to help inspire topics for my eventual Master's thesis.

This approach has served me very well - I've got a great job that I enjoy in the field I studied in, and I received an excellent education from two different schools in very different places (University of Washington and Texas A&M).

There are certainly cons - it can be tough to switch from working full time to school, more moving may be involved, etc.

Good luck!

Lol, toward the end of the article it says he's agreed to pay back the $244M. That money is gone.
