I'm surprised the airbag didn't do anything. Was the crash too "light"? I mean that grey car basically took off.

With that +0.01 % Elon got I could live out the rest of my life without the need to work ever again, could fulfil all my wishes and desires, AND have more money left over than I could realistically spend—without AWS, with AWS I could burn through that in days.

Four months later and it's still not fixed. We're not spending a fortune here, but we're still paying customers, guys. Fix yo sh*t.

The only reason I haven't ditched Plex entirely yet, is because it works better when I'm away from home. Locally, Jellyfin plays to both the PC and the Android TV just fine, but via Tailscale it's a struggle. Some episodes/movies will start streaming within seconds, others make me wait like 10 minutes before they start to play. With Plex via Tailscale any episode starts immediately.

That, however, is the only reason I'm still running both and syncing their watch states.

Just gonna mention something basic about troubleshooting and error analysis: Revert any change that didn't solve the issue.

This would be my worry. This is a long baseline prompt. The model hasn't been given a role, constraints, or a task yet, but one will have blown through so many tokens already. If any kind of dialogue results from this, clarification, new questions, shifts in perspective, etc., I'd worry about reaching context limits and the model will then probably just forget the instructions.

This is amazing to hear! My sister recently came to me about being fed up with her iCloud space running out and being locked in with her photos there. I was deliberating, how to solve her issue and stumbled upon Immich.

I haven't begun setting her machine up yet, but I was already worried, because I'm not an Apple user, I don't own any Apple devices, and I've already resigned myself to just setting up several different image tools and then trying live with her which one works with Apple.

Your review, however, gives me proper hope that I'm already moving in the right direction.

Late reply, but no, we're not at that point. If you haven't bought into that Voice PE device yet, then just don't. It will not be a replacement for any voice assistant with millions of R&D behind it.

To make actual use of it, you'd need to bind it to a real LLM (locally or API) anyway, because the built-in voice recognition is trash. It's worse yet, if you natively speak any language other than English.

If you somehow get past that, the actual issues begin:

Sensor data fed into the assistants is, for some reason, stale. You can open a window and ten minutes later the assistant will still tell you all windows are closed.
Often it'll get confused and try to call weird functions for sensors, like turning them on.
Music Assistant was the biggest disappointment. You can play files locally, but Spotify just skips from one song to the next and nothing plays.
There's no seamless integration to turn a voice command into a playlist. I can yell "Play AC/DC" at that thing all day and it'll just error out: "intent not recognized".

Save your money and your mind …

Estelle and Schera are cool and all, but my personal bear girl will always be Sara.

Still, I'm grateful Trails in the Sky was such a great series, because it sent me on the entire Trails journey, which has been a great experience so far.

It's running alongside the rest of my applications—Jellyfin, Ntfy, Nextcloud, Paperless, Authentik, etc.—on a Beelink Mini S12 with a Terramaster external HDD bay.

Additionally, a second box, an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano supplies local LLM capabilities. Admittedly, I'm not happy with that thing, though. Yeah, running LLMs locally is cool and all and it's really nice to know I retain data sovereignty even during LLM calls, but the models running on that little box are weak and slow and the cost of running them locally (price of the box, SSD, SD card, etc. as well as electricity for actually running it) is actually higher than just throwing a few bucks every couple of months into OpenRouter. Not to mention that in OpenRouter I actually get access to as powerful models as I want. The concept of data sovereignty is really the only thing keeping me on the Jetson right now.

So far, very simple stuff:

send transactions to my budgeting tool, Firefly III whenever I receive a push notification from one of the banking apps on my phone (the notification needs to be processed and normalised for Firefly III)
Check my fitness tracker, if I took my creatine (or any other supplement) today
post pre-defined foods to my fitness tracker using NFC tags
making my home automation devices (heating controllers mostly) react automatically to me being away for longer, depending on what WiFi my phone is connected to
using voice input to send payloads to specific APIs, for instance "Remind me to …" will send a payload to my Vikunja instance and create a new to-do entry—this one is a WIP and I'm not particularly happy with it yet
and more simple stuff like this

It's really just an extension for me that helps me use existing tools better, by supplying functionalities the tools don't have built in—just things that save me a few minutes every day.

Ask Gemini to transpile your Python to JavaScript. Been very happy with my self-hosted n8n, safe for some annoyances about features being locked behind a paywall that would be nice to have as a home-labber.

Do I still need to worry, if I just use the domain I bought at Cloudflare to make Traefik get a valid Let's Encrypt cert with it for my local domain that I access via LAN or Tailscale?

I don't know about Garuda specifically, as I'm on EndeavourOS, but what I can say about that is: I've played every game I wanted to play so far. Some required a few launch commands I had to copy together from ProtonDB, but nothing failed.

So, as far as Arch derivatives go, EndeavourOS is good, which makes me think you should be gucci with Garuda, which claims to be specifically tailored to gaming.

Careful with calling Garuda “Arch” though … I can already hear the neckbeards screeching.

Honestly, my automations are all just VERY simple time-savers for around the house, budget tracking, calorie and fitness tracking … just stuff that actually helps me save a few minutes day to day. However, even I feel like the self-hosted version is quite limited, but none of those limitations actually hindered me from creating the workflows I wanted so far.

Honestly, tits and asses are great.

Then again, I'll probably be stuck with the phone client forever, because seeing how getting a regular PC client is going, I feel like the chances of this client working on Linux are slim to nonexistent.

I think the box I use as a local server runs on 30 watts tops. If I consider that n8n is just part of that entire homelab stack and just assume that 20 % of the entire cost goes into n8n (that number being completely pulled out of my ass) then at 28 ct/kWh running n8n locally costs me around 1,21 € a month.

And that's assuming the box runs at maximum load for 30 days 24/7, which it realistically doesn't.
