It might have changed but there is a setting for it now.

Pretty annoying that I’m just learning setting no signature did nothing since they added a second signature option for when sending from mobile and enabled it by default.

Is it stealing if that’s why it’s there?

Especially if you put a link in a comment for attribution.

Am not sure I get the analogy. Most people don’t like politicians and I’m pretty sure politicians are only pretending to like their constituents.

Come work on IT projects in government. There’s a contractor stand-down period for like 3 weeks over Christmas so even if you work there’s almost no one around (yes the government said they would cut down on use of contractors, they said a lot of things).

You might not get the public holidays at the same as others but you’re still entitled to them taken in lieu!

Haha here the legal minimum is 4 weeks plus 12 more paid public holidays on top.

In New Zealand if you have an office job there’s a decent chance you’re not even allowed to work for at least a week, often two, sometimes three over the Christmas/New Year period.

The days between Christmas and 2 January are not even considered working days when calculating working days in contracts.

The blog article you link I think implies you do not have your own VM. LLMs are stateless, the previous conversation is fed in as part of the prompt.

You send your message, which is E2E encrypted. The LLM runs in an environment where it can decrypt your message and run in through the LLM, then send a response to you. Then it gets the next user’s message and replies to them.

The key part is that the LLM is running inside an encrypted environment not accessible to the host system, so no one can watch as it decrypts your message.

That’s what I get from reading your links.

MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL. If it needs a MySQL database, you can safely use MariaDB instead.

If you are building a new application, use Postgres. If you are running an existing application and it needs MySQL, use MariaDB.

If big tech are the issue, then try this robots.txt (yes on github…): https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt

My issue is with the scrapers pretending to be something they aren’t. Tens of thousands of requests, spread over IPs, mostly from China and Singapore but increasingly from South America.

Well if you do, contribute it to home assistant and I’ll install it 😆, it’s actually a little surprising conversions aren’t supported natively but I guess there is a lot to cover and they will get there eventually.

Home assistant has an automation event that lets you set the conversation result, but you’ve already passed my ability haha so I can’t tell you how to pull the result in from an external service.

It may well be worth building it as a home assistant integration rather than just custom sentence triggered automations.

Linux’s problem is that it’s not an OS, and so suggesting people use Linux doesn’t give them much advice.

The next problem is that linux based OSs are generally open source, which means it can be forked any number of times at any point in time.

There’s this super awesome and super confusing think in open software where you don’t have to use the thing you are given. Want to use facebook? Must use their app. Want to use reddit? Pretty much must use their app, etc.

But if you want to use Lemmy or Piefed, there are a dozen good choices, none are the wrong answer. Want to use Jellyfin? Well I connect with Kodi on my TV, Swiftfin on my mother’s, the Android Jellyfin app on my in-laws’ TV, Findroid (movies/TV) or Finamp (music) on my phone, etc. You don’t like an app you can still use the service just try another app or make your own. This is awesome, but super confusing to non-technical people.

Linux distros are the same. There are dozens of popular ones, many of which are based on others, the variety of choices is awesome but for non-technical people they have no idea where to start.

Worth noting you need both the speaker part and the server part. Home assistant sells both as out of the box ready to go but you do need both parts.

It’s also worth noting it’s a Preview Edition, as in not yet consumer ready.

It works but you will find quirks, and will find things it can’t do that you’d expect it to, and things it can do that others can’t.

It’s also very customisable, if you’re a bit technical (honestly you don’t need to be that technical these days, it has come a long way).

Do you have a plan? I have a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and it’s great but I don’t think it can do unit conversions without connecting it to an LLM. Timers work locally.

I guess if it’s an equation you could add automation to pick up on the phrase and reply with the conversion, but that would need each unit to be manually done and wouldn’t work for things like currency conversion that needs live data.

Also arbitrary things would be challenging, like converting tablespoons of butter into grams or grams of rice into cups.

For the record, yes there are people that do this. They get banned so have to make a new account every time they want to be a dick.

Was it in NZ or is this really common? Here’s the one I know: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/531909/himatjit-kahlon-convicted-of-manslaughter-after-giving-meth-laced-beer-to-employee-aiden-sagala

I have use Pie launcher before which has a similar idea.

In the end I settled on KISS, setting apps to launch with swipes in the four cardinal directions in addition to the whole KISS common/search/favourites setup.

Doesn’t have to be the moment, just that they would disappear after some amount of time that is less than a year (so they can’t make a year in review page).

I seem to recall PieFed does delete certain topics (memes?) after some period of time, perhaps configurable per instance.

Couldn’t most people here could do it in one? The code is in the post and newlines can be removed like in minified javascript.
