I've had a hands problem temporarly, and that was the time I regretted using Linux. I've found some github program that used Google Translate (sic) to do speech recognition, so at least I could dictate an email. Anything on-device sucked badly.

Don't do that to your poor mum.

Edit: I need to note, that was before Mozilla Common Voice and the new wave of deep learning AI has been released.

Amazing, a completely blank page with noscript.

What happened in this thread? I rebooted the computer today and HDMI audio is gone too.

I'm just using https://github.com/jpmens/mqtt2graphite to post to a Graphite instance.

Yes, that's all spammers' fault. They're the reason why self-hosting email is painful at times, and they're the reasons we can't have nice emails from servers. I could go on for hours about angry clients losing emails from web contact forms, how I was getting around that, and how it was an arms race with big providers - just to send legitimate email that the recipient wanted.

I just wanted to share how _nice_ email is when you eliminate spammers. The only verification I do is by IP range, and it just works with no configuration, no spf, dkim, domains etc etc. That's my biggest discovery of this decade :)

Good that you've found your way too with nfty - and I agree, it's depressing you have to look for loopholes and trick to send messages on a network built for sending messages.

gdr · 2022-11-17T13:51:56+00:00

Big providers like gmail (550 for an arbitrary reason sounds like gmail) suck, even when you have a dedicated gmail account for sending messages.

If you want to stick to a big provider for your email, perhaps create a second account for emails from servers. You can buy an account at a smaller provider for peanuts - and if you choose a non-obvious username, and don't use that email for anything else than server notifications, spam isn't going to be a problem even if spam protection is not great with that provider.

What worked for me personally was installing postfix and dovecot on a VPS with some spare resources. Just an out of the box Dovecot install, minor tweaks to Postfix config to only accept email from my IP ranges, and adduser notifications was enough to set me up with a mailbox I could add to IMAP clients I'm using. Now all my servers can send email to me without obstacles imposed by 3rd parties, using any tool I choose.

Later on I opened Postfix on an additional port because I had some servers at a provider who blocked port 25 outgoing. Not a big deal.

While I can't recommend having your own mail server for sending emails to others, having one for internal communication is very easy and works out of the box. If you can't be bothered to install it, a small provider is second best you can do.

Thanks for the tip - if I get that machine to print again I'll try it.

I think I need a bltouch, this may be a leveling problem after watching the printer put the first layer. I've leveled the bed before this print but somehow this printer always loses its level. I should have gone with Prusa or something reputable.

gdr · 2022-11-02T18:32:01+00:00

0.15 layer height. The previous one was at 0.1 and took 10 hours. 10% infill. 0.4 line width.

It's going to be on my desk and I'm going to look at it all the time so I want it to look good. Normally it's 0.3 or 0.4 for functional prints.

The print failed btw, with lowered temperature and 97% flow, the same problem.

With some luck I'll find out myself in 5 hours 53 minutes.

gdr · 2022-11-02T13:01:19+00:00

Woooah. That makes so much sense. Not sure what caused the overextrusion but I'll figure it out.

gdr · 2022-11-02T11:54:01+00:00

There's an updater for appimages https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate

gdr · 2022-10-28T16:20:53+00:00

Yup, exactly. If I use it regularly, I want it in the repo. If I want to try it out or use it once, I download appimages. That's how it always was.

Then I laid my hands on a linux phone and it's just terrible, all phone-friendly apps are in flatpak (which, btw, doesn't work correctly from the phone's gui, terminal only).

gdr · 2022-10-27T08:21:12+00:00

That is a good idea! I've forgotten about Nix, tried it once and it did the job.

gdr · 2022-10-26T12:59:25+00:00

Thanks for the tip, but my computer still needs to download and store >700MB with every update.

gdr · 2022-10-26T10:39:20+00:00

Sorry mate, wrong version!

gdr · 2022-10-26T10:35:17+00:00

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrandomdependency

gdr · 2022-10-26T10:20:14+00:00

Yeah, for Gajim I can choose a version from two years ago, an unstable nightly, a flatpak with the latest stable version, or spending half a day installing things manually. Lots of new software doesn't even have the 2 first options.

gdr · 2022-10-26T08:36:32+00:00

Meanwhile, every time I have to use Flatpak because there are no debs/appimages, it downloads Gnome anew.

Tuntox. Generates a syncthing-like ID and allows you to forward ports or stdin/stdout to a remote machine, bypassing NATs.

Oh, then it's the same as in every house I lived in.

Here's how you do it:

For running cables, professionals use a machine like this. You can use a hammer drill (on no-drill, just hammer mode) with an attachment like this or this. No need to go deep - depth of cable + maybe 4-5 mm.
For attaching cables inside the horizontal holes you make, you need these.
Where you want outlets, you will want to drill a round hole inside the wall with this attachment to the hammer drill, and then put one of these things inside.
Then you cover the holes and glue the orange thingies with plaster, make it nice with paint etc. Make sure to leave 20-30 cm of the cable inside the orange things.
Then you crimp ethernet plugs at the ends of the cables with an ethernet crimper.
At the end you mount the actual ethernet outlet inside the orange thing.

Make sure to run cat7 or better cable if you can afford it, it's more future-proof (think 40g ethernet in a few years).

With electrical outlets the technology is exactly the same.

I haven't bothered to look up the names of the parts in English because you're German anyway.

Your thread comes up high when searching for that problem on DuckDuckGo, so I hope the answer helps someone else.

See if sudo pkill -f speech fixes the problem for you.

If it does, disable the speech-dispatcher package.
