Also curious, have a similar project in mind. I’ve tinkered with jekyll a little and heard good things about Hugo. Hopefully people can speak to some of these.

This made me lol today, thank you

Yet they did it anyway, my point is about the power of our intrinsic motivation to create, not our obvious need for food and shelter etc…

Did you not notice that almost the entire realm of technology runs on open source software largely written by volunteers? Yes your laptop may run a proprietary piece of software but not the servers it talks to, your phone, your apps, the cash register at the store, the computer chip in your kids toys etc…

I think it’s a pasta joke

like basically everything Coffee Stain puts out, it’s really well done, controller integration has been flawless so far, great game and a great team!

I am sooooo stoked for this, gonna make some neat factories.🤸

I think this is good news which seems hard to believe right now. I’m sure someone will find a way to make this terrible but on it’s face we are watching an important anti-trust ruling take place. Google’s monopoly on the browser is dangerous and unhealthy. Taking it away from them is absolutely the right thing to do. Who inherits the power over the single browser used by most of the world remains to be seen though.

I am crazy stoked about this! My primary play setup is hooked up to a TV with a Bluetooth controller and this means I can wake the deck from the couch finally 🤩🤩🤩

this really needs more circulation because too goddamn many people still believe his PR

pretty sure this website can do it

I really like this perspective, thanks for sharing!

This is exactly it, open source is not just the availability of the machine instructions, it’s also the ability to recreate the machine instructions. Anything less is incomplete.

It strikes me as a variation on the “free as in beer versus free as in speech” line that gets thrown around a lot. These weights allow you to use the model for free and you are free to modify the existing weights but being unable to re-create the original means it falls short of being truly open source. It is free as in beer, but that’s it.

you’re a good dad

Super useful, thanks for sharing!

This speakers are fire! That’s awesome

Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.

It’s great! I ran Mycroft for years and this is such a better experience overall. I really love the ability to create custom sentences to trigger whatever. There are features I’m still hoping for like some kind of reminder things so I can finally drop google assistant for good. This is a great product for enthusiasts and signals even better products in the future as the ecosystem matures. It’s a good time to be interested in voice assistants.

This does look promising. Website says they will do a Kickstarter this coming spring (2025) and uh, rather optimistically predicts shipping in the summer? Definitely bookmarking though, we need more tech like this. My final gripe is that I wish they talk about the software more. It’s not hard to find intriguing hardware but if it’s unsupported on the software side then it doesn’t matter.

Uprooted for a zardoz reference, Sean Connerey had never had such a distinguished wardrobe as that.
