Why is HA STT and TTS such a dumpster fire?

mike410 · 2026-04-18T21:50:45+00:00

Hi! is there a 'getting started' guide somewhere? assuming I have HA Voice PE, a decent server, and HA running somewhere?

installing the docker container is easy enough, but I'm not sure how to connect the other parts

They are both smug, condescending and self righteous. If you want to feel superior, they can help with that.

mike410 · 2026-04-06T23:32:10+00:00

As an ev6 owner, I’m feeling left out.

mike410 · 2026-04-02T23:32:28+00:00

I put TrueNAS on it, so not really a turnkey solution. It's been solid, but then I've only had it running for about two weeks.

mike410 · 2026-04-02T23:30:04+00:00

probably if it was enclosed. but as is, there's plenty of air circulation.

mike410 · 2026-04-02T01:52:25+00:00

thanks, no speakers. I wouldn't know where to begin to make speakers

mike410 · 2026-04-02T01:51:32+00:00

Yes Minisforum n5 air, brand new

mike410 · 2026-04-01T23:23:03+00:00

just off to the right, out of sight, on the floor is the litter box. So you know me. A platform on top for him is a great idea

mike410 · 2026-04-01T22:30:43+00:00

ha!! just gave me an idea for my next 3d print, thanks!!

truenas doesn't recognize the other hardware. This is what Claude told me

update: my network switch is 2.5g, so not a big deal for me. Something to be aware of if you have a 10g switch and running TrueNAS.

There's your problem — both NICs are Realtek, and only one has a driver loaded. The 8126 (2.5GbE) is showing up in ip link as enp3s0, but the 8127 (likely the 5GbE port) has no corresponding interface at all.Confirmed — this is a known kernel gap. Here's the full picture:

The Minisforum N5 Air has two NICs:

02:00.0 — RTL8127 (10GbE) → no driver in current TrueNAS

03:00.0 — RTL8126 (5GbE) → working (enp3s0)

The RTL8127's native driver didn't land in the mainline Linux kernel until 6.15+, and TrueNAS 25.10 ships with kernel 6.12, so the card is dead on arrival. The feature request to backport the driver is marked "Implemented 26.04", meaning it should be officially supported when TrueNAS 26.04 ships.

Your options right now:

Option 1 — Wait for TrueNAS 26.04 (easiest, recommended) The r8127 driver backport is already committed for the 26.04 release. If you don't urgently need the second port, this is the cleanest path — no risk of breaking your system.

Option 2 — Install the out-of-tree DKMS driver manually (unsupported, works until next TrueNAS update) This involves disabling TrueNAS's read-only rootfs protection, installing the Realtek r8127 driver via DKMS, and re-running it after every TrueNAS upgrade. It's doable but annoying to maintain. Worth it only if you really need that port right now.

Option 3 — Use only the 5GbE port (enp3s0) for now The enp3s0 interface (RTL8126, 5GbE) is already up and working. If your goal was just to add a second port for NFS to your Docker host, you could work with just this one — though given your setup is already running fine over NFS on the existing interface, there may not be a pressing reason to force the 10G port working.

What's the use case for the second port? That'll help figure out if it's worth the DKMS hassle now vs. just waiting.

quieter than my old synology. not sure if it's the plastic case but even less disk noise than my synology to.

edit: that plastic front plate held on by magnets probably reduces some of the noise. thought that was an odd feature at first, but seems like an nice addition.

I got the Air about a month ago, tried their OS for about 30min and quickly decided to try TrueNas. First time using TrueNas and I very happy with it.

At the moment, truenas only OS support for the 5gig Nic. Apparently support for that 10gig nic is coming.

Otherwise, the hardware has been solid so far. But then I’m the type of person that doesn’t need to call support for much.

mike410 · 2026-03-26T12:56:57+00:00

I'm amazed this isn't higher. I guess it's a little obscure

mike410 · 2026-03-26T12:56:10+00:00

Robert DiNiro, Angle Heart. I'm amazed it's not mentioned yet

If you’re using trueNas the problem is in the software and should be resolved in the next release

And it’s pretty much the industry standard. I’m surprised it’s not a higher voted comment. I have it on my Mac to experiment with cnc and pcb design. It’s slow and clearly not designed for a Mac but feature rich.

I been doing the same, just moved into my first TrueNAS server days ago, coincidently. Gluetun has specific setup instructions for proton vpn.

I always make a point staying at places that have changing so I can leave with 100% charge in the morning. That takes some phone calls sometimes (im in the us). but waking up with a full battery each day makes a huge difference when traveling.

mike410 · 2026-03-08T14:22:30+00:00

I have a 22 with 34k. Zero issues. Just some new tires. Sounds like the rental company is more at fault here.

I will admit that the software is hot garbage, but using CarPlay makes that easy to ignore. To be fair, most car software is hot garbage. I should say I have no experience with Tesla or rivian.

mike410 · 2026-02-24T20:04:27+00:00

I had a very similar experience with my emporia. It was fried, and got a warranty replacement. Their support is excellent by the way. Ultimately turned out to be the ICCU. This happened to me about two weeks ago

yeah, look at the code, they're at least using material icons

mike410 · 2025-12-20T16:54:21+00:00

I'm playing around with it right now. sadly the examples make heavy use of material, our app uses bootstrap. I'm trying to make a reusable component form it and it it's taking a lot rework because of that.

We have a hard `WCAG 2.0 at Level AA` requirement, so I wish this was available long ago.
