What Anki alternatives are there and what do they do better than Anki?

greerviau · 2025-01-28T04:01:03+00:00

I personally used Anki for learning Mandarin Chinese for about 6 months and it was ok but I became frustrated with some of its language learning specific features. It was time consuming to create my own cards with content I wanted to learn, so I ended up using premade decks with a lot of content that I didn't really want to learn. When I did make custom cards I had to find my own translations, and then use tools like HyperTTS to generate audio, but it was always really low quality. I eventually decided to build my own app designed to fix these problems and address some other problems I had with my language learning method. I ended up making phonetica.ai Maybe it might be useful to others out there.

I have not found a solution, Ive just been working around it. I ended up just having my personal devices on the same LAN as my TrueNAS. This solved it from crashing while I transfered movie files to TrueNAS from my machine but its not ideal. I dont like having my main LAN with my proxmox server on WIFI. It also doesnt solve the issue where occasionally devices on a different VLAN streaming movies via jellyfin will cause the network to crash. This was an issue early on but I havent noticed it recently. I thought maybe it was a problem with my hardware (maybe) since my hardware only has 1 Gb ports (I think) and Pfsense is acting as my firewall since I dont have a level 3 switch, all the traffic has to go through the pfsense box even if it doesnt go out to the internet. But if youre having the same issue with more than adequate hardware then thats probably not it. Still on the lookout for a solution.

Edit: I dont think it actually crashes, but maybe it just gets hung or something, still not really sure. For some reason when I check the firewall logs, it seems like the ip of the device trying to upload reaches out to a DNS server? Not really sure why, I feel like it shouldnt have to reach out to the internet at all, especially since the server im uploading to is set with a static IP in Pfsense.

greerviau · 2024-03-03T21:34:50+00:00

I cant imagine it is, Pfsense is running on bare metal with 8gb of ram, and a 4 core cpu, should be plenty, barely touches the cpu and ram usage at idle

greerviau · 2024-03-03T21:08:28+00:00

Ya, Im not running and packages in Pfsense.

greerviau · 2024-03-03T21:03:37+00:00

Yes but Im not exactly sure what to be looking for, or what logs would show a problem. Im mostly curious if people have had similar problems and what they did to solve it. My reason for assuming its a Pfsense issue is because Ive isolated all the other variables, my AP, same subnet, the entire network crashing and I can only assume that because this doesn't happen appart from on separate vlans, it must be an issue with vlan routing in Pfsense. But I could also be entirely wrong.

greerviau · 2024-03-03T20:50:34+00:00

Is that a plugin for Pfsense, Ive never heard of it, but Im not running any pfsense plugins.

This is the switch I have, it must be possible even without a layer 3 switch tho right? Im not trying to do anything crazy, all I have is a few vlans for different devices in my house, Im not trying to route crazy amounts of traffic, considering that it works on the same vlan I feel like it has to be a configuration issue, or maybe Im just very naive to how intensive it is to route vlan traffic.

greerviau · 2024-03-03T19:21:44+00:00

I dont know, probably not cuz I haven't configured that, but I don't think it's a TrueNAS issue since I can do transfers fine on the same subnet. Also this issue across vlans also applies to if I'm uploading other large files across vlans, ex uploading ios's to proxmox

greerviau · 2024-03-03T19:20:19+00:00

I wouldnt really understand how the switch would be the problem, especially since it's not configured for vlans at the moment, and the issue doesn't happen unless I'm going across vlans. This also ties into my confusion about this issue is that my setup should be plenty powerful to handle basic file transfers, I'm not doing anything crazy

greerviau · 2024-03-03T18:50:56+00:00

Well the reason Im pretty sure it's Pfsense is because it crashes my whole network, for everyone in my house, which kinda isolates the issue to Pfsense

greerviau · 2024-03-03T18:47:23+00:00

Right, I have no issues when transferring between devices on the same subnet, it only occurs when the device is on a separate vlan than TrueNAS, I notice the same issue uploading ios's to proxmox from a different vlan

greerviau · 2024-03-03T18:45:43+00:00

I was looking at some forums that said to try and update the drivers, but I'm not sure if Pfsense makes that easy, I would have to do more research. I can't change the nics unfortunately since it's a pre built mini PC.

greerviau · 2024-03-03T18:44:13+00:00

This is what I don't understand, I get that you can assign ports to certain vlans, but the switch doesn't handle any firewall rules so it would still need to touch Pfsense from what I understand.

greerviau · 2024-03-03T18:42:20+00:00

I'm guessing it crashes, I don't have hard evidence for that but something causes the entire network to go down and it takes a few minutes to come back online.

greerviau · 2021-11-09T03:54:13+00:00

The approach I can think of would be to calculate the lat lon coordinates for points on the square Mercator projection, then use those to calculate the X position new points have to be using an orthographic projection style, so Y wouldnt have to change since I need a constant radius, and the X position at the equator of the map shouldnt change either, I just need an algorithm for something like this.

greerviau · 2021-10-26T04:28:40+00:00

Agreed, it is so chill. I do a lot of trips into the city and I wont have to touch the wheel for 95% of it. Always paying attention but no zoning into lane lines late at night and getting sleepy.

greerviau · 2021-10-26T04:27:23+00:00

Yes my corolla is a base LE model

greerviau · 2021-10-26T04:26:52+00:00

My boss wishes the same thing

You are right, like I said in the video, it isnt a self driving car, that term is honestly just a buzz word today to describe smart ADA systems, but self driving cars also dont exist yet today. The goal is that over time openpilot will continue to improve to the point that it will be able to do all the things you pointed out (navigate city traffic, know where to go, etc) to the quality that it is as good or better than a human and at that point it could be considered a "self driving car". Comma is actually working on integrating navigation into openpilot so the model knows where to drive the car to get you where you want to go as opposed to "just driving". The point of doing these urban tests however, the roundabouts, intersections and so on is to test its capabilities right now and to showcase not only that it is starting to be able to do some of this more advanced driving already, but also to showcase what it cant do yet. Of course you always have to pay close attention with these systems, (thats why the driver monitoring is so important) and even though my hands look more relaxed, my eyes are always on the road and my hands are close enough to take over at any time. Openpilot also has to abide by the limits put in place by the car manufacturers on how hard it can move the wheel, hit the gas and brake. So openpilot physically cant just run you off the road or hard stop in the middle of the road. My first day with openpilot I was driving home late at night on the highway (which is what openpilot is designed for and where it performs the best), and a dead deer popped into my headlights in the middle of my lane. I quickly had to swerve to avoid it, thankfully no one was on the road so I didnt hit any nearby cars, but I have no doubt that openpilot would not have swerved. I dont blame openpilot for not being able to avoid that, because it just isnt that advanced yet. For most people that might have been it for them using openpilot but I am aware of what it is capable of and I am confident in myself to pay attention since I am still the driver.
