It’s just a static hosted page they run on the family iPad. There’s no server at all!

I should really clean it up and make a blog post about it. But wanted to share it here because this project reminded me of it :)

Shopper0552 · 4 months ago

This is such a great idea, I would love to implement this for my kids! Could you post a link to your blog or GitHub so people who want to know can follow you when/if you release it?

Valetudo. I haven’t had personal experience using it (due to an unsupported model of NAND memory chip), but I’ve heard good words: https://valetudo.cloud/

That said, I did some research last year before buying my first robot vacuum. I wasn’t able to find a project - Valetudo included - that would support the bigger, fancier robots made by Roborock etc. If you’re looking to decloud a recent model, I don’t have a good answer.

Shopper0552 · 5 months ago

I've got Valetudo running on a Dreame LS40. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me.

It's been installed for a few months now, and I bought it specifically to install Valetudo on it.

Orthogonal, but I just wanted to say how awesome Ollama is. It took 2 seconds to find the model and a minute to download and now I'm using it.

Kudos to that team.

Shopper0552 · 7 months ago

I remember reading Ollama is going closed source now?

Am I crazy or did my 2006 iMac come with a home media server for serving movies / tv shows / music photos from your filesystem. I think it even came with a slick looking remote!

You could stream content from it over your home network (as long as you were connecting from another Apple device)

Is this lost technology or just a figment of my imagination? I've long since switched to linux and run the typical Jellyfin setup etc

I’ve never had an iMac but my MacBook Pro circa 2009 came with a media remote. There was an infrared receiver on the body of the laptop in the front corner.

It's funny since Anthropic asked their job candidates not to use AI [0]. I know it's not the same as actually working at Anthropic already, but I just thought it was funny.

I had created another program like this, which is cross-platform.

It doesn't have as good of a UX as this, but it should help unless you find a better option.

I see that you're using Groq. I'm actually looking for something that's 100% local, but thank you for replying!

Anyone know of a program like this, but runs on Fedora and does the transcribing in real-time?

Anyone know a good free open source speech to text? Looking for something for my laptop which is running Fedora KDE plasma.

If I'm evaluating a potential application whose core functionality does not require external resources/servers (Dropbox for example) and they don't at a minimum offer some kind of perpetual fallback license (aka the Jetbrains annual subscription model), then I straight up bounce.

Examples of good alternatives

- Pixelmator > Photoshop

- Davinci Resolve > Premiere

- Reaper > Audition

I have no interest in renting my tools.

Shopper0552 · a year ago

Do you have any good alternatives to Photoshop that are open source? And that are not GIMP.

Nothing against GIMP, I just found it too hard to learn coming from photoshop.

I'm looking for a simple editor that can do color adjustments, crop/resize images, and add text.
