  • Jellyfin doesn't have something comparable in the dedicated (OSS) world, but Symfonium takes a Jellyfin connection and is hands down the single best music player I have ever encountered on any platform.

  • Darktable is incredibly powerful. Like, the question is not if it has feature parity with LR/C1, but if those will ever reach feature parity with it.

    But all that power is stuck behind a user interface that has never seen the loving touch of a UX engineer. Which really is a shame.

  • The phone in question was midrange. Sure, not super cheap and I can see how a cheaper one would make it less attractive to repair, but still. (Plus I paid like, 50€ for the screen repair, I think?), and batteries were 15€ from eBay plus 20 minutes of my time.

    But this is kinda beside the point: as long as it runs your apps, why upgrade.

    squeezing as much life out of your device as possible

    FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUU

    Last phone I had for 7 years, through a screen replacement, 2 battery replacements, and a switch to LineageOS.

    And I would not even call that "squeezing as much life out of your device as possible".

    Try BentoPDF if you haven't / are unhappy with StirlingPDF

    Not an ad, I'm not involved with Bento (or Stirling, for that matter). I've been unhappy with Stirling for a while (why do documents need to be uploaded to the server? That makes it really hard to safely host publicly. Why is it so slow? Plus, too many things are put behind a fucking paywall).

    Learned about Bento this morning, tried it out, really liked it, spent an hour today packaging it for nixpkgs. It doesn't quite have feature parity with Stirling yet, but at least for me, everything I need is there, it's fast, and it keeps processing in the browser. Like, not even joking: the output of the build process/nixpkg are just a couple of static HTML files and some WASM. No server-side components at all. Really refreshing to see.

    Intent recognition for HomeAssistant without an LLM?

    A while back I played a round with the HASS Voice Assistant, and pretty easily got to a point where STT and TTS were working really well on my local installation. Also got the hardware to build wyoming satellites with wakeword recognition.

    However, what kept me from going through the effort of setting everything up properly (and finally getting fucking Alexa out of my house) was the "all or nothing" approach HASS seemingly has to intent recognition. You either:

    • use the build in Assistant conversation agent, which is a pain in the ass because it matches what your STT recognized 1:1, letter by letter, so it's almost impossible to actually get it to do something unless you spoke perfectly (and forget, for example, about putting something on your ToDo list; Todo, todo, To-Do,... are all not recognized, and have fun getting your STT to reliably generate the ToDo spelling!), or
    • you slap a full-blown LLM behind it, either forcing you to again rely on a shitty company, or host the

    What one book or piece of literature would adapt into a movie/TV series if given the funding and full creative control? Why?

    Your choice whether you are writing the screenplay, directing, ... or hiring someone for these things. Also assume permission from the original work's author(s), of course.

    continuwuity vs tuwunel: where to go from conduwuit? (Update: probably continuwuity.)

    If you've been selfhosting conduit or conduwuit, you probabl are aware that the conduwuit project was discontinued a couple months back.

    I've been holding out on updating my matrix homeserver until it becomes clear which fork(s) will survive long term.

    I feel like I can't put off updating for much longer now, plus the tuwunel nixpkg and -module were merged yesterday, so now the two most promising forks are both options for me.

    Still, I'm unsure what route to take. Here's my thoughts:

    • not going through another round of this in a couple of months from now would be great, so stability and long-term maintenance promises would be great
    • I assume incompatibility between the forks, if not now then very soon; this is a "pick an option, then stick with it and pray" situation
    • tuwunel apparently has a full-time paid dev working on it now, which is great; at the same time, that means features will follow the priorities of the (as o

    Devin, the "$2 Billion AI software engineer" turns out to be a complete scam. Who could have thunk!
