You don't even need a dedicated GPU. Any Intel Core-series CPU past 5th gen has a built-in quicksync engine that can handle many simultaneous transcodes.

PostgreSQL defaults (last I looked, it's been a few years) are/were set up for spinning storage and very little memory. They absolutely work for tiny things like what self-hosting usually implies, but for production workloads tuni

You said "especially if you whisper" which I read as a level of speaking, primarily because I have experienced difficulty with Whisper while whispering :)

Home Assistant uses the Wyoming protocol to talk to Whisper, Piper, and the various other components of the speech pipeline. Might be something to check out? https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming This subproject looks int

Eh, Whisper is pretty good, especially if you have some GPU to throw at it.

Maybe not if all you're doing is hooking some nodes together. That said, I have personally used these Tailscale features that with a quick glance I don't see Meshnet having: - ephemeral nodes are super useful for things like attac

I have worked at a place with serious opsec and none of that was allowed. Everything pointed at private mirrors containing vetted packages. Very few people had the permissions to write to those repos.

It is incredibly foolish to entertain this offer. OPM v Richmond[1] held that the government has effectively zero liability for lying about financial benefits that haven't been specifically authorized by Congress. [1]: https:/&#x

In a sane world. This particular person has been impeached and acquitted twice over, though, so I'm not sure we're there anymore.

I don't have a 12 year old (yet) but my 8 year old has mood swings when they're too cold, too hot, have a headache, the tv remote doesn't work, their tablet runs out of time, their tablet runs out of battery, when they'r

I wonder how Mr. Johnson is proposing to do his enforcement, seeing as how the executive is the branch of government charged with enforcing the laws.

The Open Home Foundation (Home Assistant, ESPHome, etc) is a similar contemporary example. It's organized as a Stiftung in Switzerland, which as I understand it is somewhat analogous to a US 501(c)(3) private foundation, in so far as i

Eh, not really. You can set them up in LAN mode and pair them with the slicer. You lose access to the mobile app, of course, and you also lose automatic firmware updates. I had mine set up in local mode for awhile but the mobile app is usef

As a consumer and homeowner I try my hardest to buy "smart" things that only have local control, especially for important systems like power and HVAC. Our standby generator has a manufacturer supplied wifi pod that I never set up.

I recently heard the double entry system described as the lowest common denominator of all accounting systems. I.e. one can model any other accounting system with just accounts, debits, and credits. The color annotation system here is inter

In a data center, sure. At home it's much less interesting and you can fake it with a NanoKVM or PiKVM for fairly cheap. Also a lot of "business" desktops with Intel processors will come with vPro, which is almost but not qui

Yep. I am very satisfied with my do-almost-everything Lenovo M80S gen3. It came with an i7-12700 (12 core 20 thread) and I've dropped in 96GB memory, a 10gb network card, and an LSI HBA connected to a used SAS disk shelf. It runs a doz

It might be nice to add default messages that can auto-populate the date so she won't notice if network goes down for awhile or someone forgets to post a message.

Sure, and now that their threat model includes devastating landslides they will probably make different choices.

Yep, exactly. At our previous place we never had an outage last more than a couple hours, in 7 years, so it didn't make sense. Current place has had four in the span of four years, plus we have geothermal heat so we can't just hoo

Inverter units are nice, those Honda engines run forever. I've had my 26kW generac for almost two years and it's done several multi-day outages without issue. I just have my mechanical contractor come out and do the annual mainten

Your second point depends on your threat model. Personally my threat model is a wind or ice storm taking down the aerial electrical lines in my area (SE Michigan). The natural gas lines are all buried and the pumping stations are powered by

It turns out that was ordinary fraud[1] not a flaw in the physical plant. States with functional regulatory bodies don't have this problem. At most you get a situation like Michigan in the winter of 2019 where there was a massive fire
