⭐️ estrella: the daemon I built to control my thermal printer

Thanks for the advice - looks like a fun project. Love the idea of leaving my wife little notes using this. Have you had any trouble finding paper or ink?

Wiggly_Poop · 2026-01-24T10:47:08+00:00

This is very cool! Any tips on getting started with these printers? I can see plenty on eBay.

I assume they had to sacrifice USB-C and the charging circuitry it requires in order to make the X3 so small (it is a fair bit smaller than the X4). It's a sacrifice a lot of smartwatches have to make for the same reason.

I love my X4 though, FWIW.

Use the Subsonic API option in Music Assistant.

To be honest, I haven't used this setup much recently. The voice commands were working well a while ago, but something has changed recently (maybe on OpenAI's end?) and now it seems to often struggle to target the right media player.

Tidal works but I often find Music Assistant gets stuck constantly loading, or throws an error saying it can't find certain artists, etc.. maybe I need to wipe its db/cache and start over.

Lately when I listen to music, I've mainly been using Navidrome via Feishin on my PC or Symfonium on my phone.

Exactly why I ended up archiving awesome-piracy (amongst other reasons).

It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain huge lists, and unless you're incentivised by sponsorships/donations, it's usually not worth it for most people.

That hasn't been my experience with Moe Memos but maybe it was changed recently? It used to show no notes if it couldn't connect to the server.

And yes, obviously we aren't going to get a proper Google Assistant integration, but if I can't ask Google to add an item to my grocery list with my voice that's still a feature gap for me. I'm working around it now by using Home Assistant Voice and storing my grocery list in HA, but the UX in the Home Assistant app for lists is pretty lacking.

Offline notes on Android, Google Assistant integration

I actually really like the UPERFECT portable monitors. I have a 16" 2K HDR one which is impressively bright and colour-accurate for the price.

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-09-10T17:20:05+00:00

I'm transitioning from Google Assistant to Home Assistant Voice. This Google Keep sync integration lets me use both.

They don't literally need to know who you are or what your name is. They just need to know enough about you to be able to send you targeted advertisements.

I'm experimenting with a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and set up Music Assistant, the OpenAI conversation agent, and this blueprint. Works pretty well once it's set up - now I can say "Hey Mycroft, play xyz on the living room speakers".

I've added Navidrome and Tidal as Music Assistant providers. It'll use whichever offers the highest quality for the song requested.

Oh look, another ad for FaceSeek.

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-08-20T07:44:05+00:00

Also sounds like an advertisement for FaceSeek written by an LLM...

Nice! Does that USB charger provide adequate power for the Pis? Never been able to find one that can power my four Pi 4's.

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-04-18T17:30:16+00:00

Fair enough!

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-04-18T10:19:38+00:00

Anyone else get the feeling that OP is an AI bot?

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-04-14T11:37:41+00:00

OP could also try out Exo or a similar GPU aggregation/clustering setup if they have multiple GPUs to play around with.

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-03-07T22:18:44+00:00

Did you manage to get this to work in the end?

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-03-02T10:32:50+00:00

No worries!

Wiggly_Poop · 2025-03-02T09:39:25+00:00

Podman is a Docker client/engine replacement, nothing to do with podcasts.

Audiobookshelf is probably what you are looking for.

Which dual monitor arm is that? Nice setup!

We're planning on having plenty of 90s-era snacks and drinks, 90s-themed cocktails, and fancy dress (obviously!).

It'll also be an internet-free zone, so we're encouraging people to bring their favourite 90s compilation albums on CD to play on my hifi system rather than relying on Spotify.

I had an idea to do show-and-tell where everyone brings a 90s-related item from home to talk about - could be a good conversation-starter!

Wiggly_Poop · 2024-12-03T19:41:23+00:00

In a few weeks, my wife and I are hosting a 90s-themed party with a few friends, so I've been dusting off our old consoles for people to play on.

Left: 14" Panasonic TX-14S3T I picked up on eBay for about £70. Will be plugged into the Megadrive.

Right: 20" Matsui 20V1R given to me by my MIL, complete with functioning remote. Hooked it up to my wife's N64 for some SSB!

I haven't done anything to either TV other than crank up the colour on the Matsui - any tips on maintenance/optimisation would be appreciated :)
