A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.

I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things as well.

  • Ja ich wohne auch nach wie vor im Pott. Gut, die Gerichtsverfahren sind etwas die Nachläufer davon. Ist klar, dass die 2 Jahre nach irgendwelchen Taten mit Medienberichten abgeschlossen werden.

    Die Automatensprengungen halte ich übrigens für sehr dämlich. Also alle Nachbarländer hatten ihre Geldautomaten ja abgesichert. Nur unsere deutschen Banken haben gesagt das ist zu teuer die nachzurüsten, und sich lieber dafür entschieden die Bankräuber ihr Ding machen zu lassen, und sich dann von der Versicherung auszahlen zu lassen… Ist irgendwie logisch, dass man sich damit die umliegenden Verbrecher ins Land holt. Gerade auch wenn man verkehrstechnisch so gut angebunden ist, wie das Ruhrgebiet. Da konnte man recht einfach was klauen und sich ziemlich gut aus dem Staub machen, es war halt leichte Beute… Und das ist dann auch passiert. War auch kein Geheimnis, ziemlich so stand es in jedem Zeitungsartikel.

    Inzwischen hat sich das aber auch etwas geändert. Die Banken haben dann doch etwas getan, bzw sind auch noch dabei. Und wir haben genug Stau und Baustellen auf der Autobahn hinzugefügt, so dass hier niemand mehr wegkommt. /s



  • HA isn’t the only option. I think there’s two other open source smarthome solutions out there(?) And you could probably do with just an MQTT broker and a Python script, or something like that…

    But HA isn’t a bad choice. They’re doing a phenomenal job. And related projects like ESPHome make it really easy to integrate microcontrollers. And if you want to do more smarthome stuff, it has a plethora of features, integrations, an app…

    Extra hardware isn’t absolutely necessary. I have one server at home which does NAS, and I use 4GB of it’s RAM to run a virtual machine with Home Assistant. That’s enough for it, including a bunch of Addons.

    As far as I know fewer active parameters means faster. There’s less arithmetic calculations to be done per pass. But all parameters need to be kept in memory, because they might become active the next pass. So it won’t save any RAM.

    They have a short paragraph in the description. It has 80B total parameters, 3B active each pass. It achieves performance like a 30-60B model (10-20x, their claim). But is way more efficiant than that with only 3B active parameters.


  • Yes, that will be an issue. I guess not a technical one, Linux is perfectly able to fetch a token and connect to network shares etc. Not sure how that works with Email and the modern cloud office stuff. But likely, the IT department will have to enforce that policy as well. That’s why I asked if OP has to use software on Windows (11)… Otherwise, if it worked 4 years without issues… maybe there is no issue with Active Directory…

    You could try to debug the permission issue… Like take a note of the current permissions, chmod the certificates to 666 and the parent directories to 777 and see if that works. Then progressively cut them down again and see when it fails. And/or give caddy all the group permissions ssl, acme, certwarden… and then check which one makes it fail or work.


  • Ja. Ich glaube vor allem brauchen wir clevere Lösungen… Also die machen hier knaller Sachen. Alte Bahntrassen zu Fahrrad-Infrastruktur umbauen, und dann kann man schön auf direktem Wege durch’s Grüne fahren, fern ab vom Autoverkehr, maximal 1,5% Steigung… Aber dann machen sie auch wieder richtig dumme Sachen. Spuren umwidmen, aber das ist richtig ätzend dort zu fahren. Manchmal sogar baulich getrennt, aber nach 800m verschwindet dann der Radweg sang und klanglos und man endet erstmal inmitten einer riesigen, vielbefahrenen Kreuzung… Irgendwie enden Radwege gerne genau da wo es kompliziert ist… Manchmal nehmen sie den Autofahrern etwas weg und das bringt etwas, manchmal ist aber auch niemandem damit geholfen, weil irgendwie guter Wille da war, aber sonst nicht so viel.

    Also ich denke worauf es ankommt ist, dass man fitte Stadtplaner in den Behörden sitzen hat, die sich da was sinnvolles ausdenken. Gerne auch maßgeschneidert für die spezifischen Gegebenheiten. Und man die tatsächlichen Probleme ausmacht und die mal mit Geld bewirft… Also ich denke letztendlich ist es das, was wirklich hilft.

    Letztendlich muss auch was in den Gesetzen stehen, das ist klar. Ich finde es nicht falsch was hier gefordert wird. Ich finde es trifft aber auch nicht so wirklich.




  • Kind of the reason why I quit Netflix. For once it got more expensive each year. And at some point there was less and less of my favorite shows on there, so I’d need to subscribe to a second service for Star Trek… then a third one for all the good stuff that’s Disney… And I don’t even watch that much TV. So instead, I just quit. Maybe one day I’m gonna read a book on a Friday evening 😆 Or the stuff the government forces me to pay for.



  • The Firefox Browser has translation built in and it works fairly well. We have LibreTranslate as a self-hosted service, I think it’s okay… Not particulary good, more okay in my experience. And what I tend to do is just copy-paste text to my local LLM and tell it to translate. Most models will do it. They have to be trained on multiple languages for that, and can’t be too small. You could try one of the Ministral models at whatever size fits and doesn’t heat up your computer. But I bet the average model from Meta and Google will do as well, I think they all have multilangual capabilities these days. And for web use, I’d recommend using Firefox. I can read Japanese websites with that. It’s not perfect by any means, but low on the resources and it only takes a few seconds, even on battery power on my laptop.





  • I mean if no single software fits your bill, maybe go for a combination of them? Post your blog posts in a Ghost installation, your podcasts in Castopod and have your community on a NodeBB forum? The Fediverse kinda includes the idea it’s all one big network anyway. So you don’t have to squeeze everything on a single server and one CMS.

    Other than that: Wordpress is open-source. You could also wait for the enshittification to happen. We’re fairly sure someone is going to fork it and maybe they’ll provide a seemless migration. So if you’re patient enough, you might be able to stick with your current setup. Just that you Wordpress will some day have a different name and developer community. These things happen all the time. I’ll just switch from Firefox to LibreWolf once I’m unhappy with Mozilla’s decisions. Solves the user-facing part of the issues, and there’s almost no effort involved.


  • Nice, thanks for the link! I wasn’t aware of that. Sadly as with all shiny new things it doesn’t fit all my requirements… I’d really like to speak to my house in my native language. But I figure English will do. I’m gonna try that.

    Not sure if an ESP32-S3 is fast enough for more advanced DSP plus the rest of an voice assistant. At least I found some ESP32 libraries with noise reduction, echo cancellation… There is the ESP-ADF and a project called ESP32-SpeexDSP. But I didn’t try that yet. The Rockckip / Luckfox development board looks nice as well. A Cortex-A7 and a few hundred megabytes of memory might come in handy. And whatever the NPU does. But I don’t have a clue what kind of software and libraries we got for embedded Linux or custom processing units.

    Anyway. I think the production-grade stuff mostly uses multiple microphones and a combination of beamforming and echo cancellation. I got 4 inmp441 microphones here. But I lack the software/libraries to tinker with that kind of signal processing.
