The transcription of voice messages is one of those things that on paper seems an obvious improvement (I can read at my own pace, it’s easier to skip parts of the message, etc.), but in practice is… so and so. Even with 99% accuracy, some of the more rambling messages are not very clear when presented as pure text, and you miss all the nuances of the spoken language.
That said, it’s cool that I can do it locally with whisper.cpp on my old GPU and a barely bearable workflow on iOS

It is fascinating to see how Poland 🇵🇱, once an unlikely leader in the energy transition, is increasingly giving the green light to smart use of renewable energy.
Dynamic energy contracts make smart energy use attractive to consumers. Supportive optional network tariffs offer an additional boost.

What makes developments in Poland 🇵🇱 around dynamic tariffs interesting for other European countries to consider is the innovation that has also been set in motion in distribution network tariffs. Today marks exactly one year since dynamic energy tariffs became available from all major energy suppliers in Poland. This obligation stems from the EU Electricity Directive 2019, which gives consumers throughout the European Union the right to choose such a tariff (and also applies to other Eu…

In other news, I am evaluating restic vs rustic right now for backups. rustic is a Rust reimplementation of restic, which is a Go app.
I REALLY want to love rustic. It;'s easier to deploy, has a nicer user interface. It might be slightly faster and have slightly less memory usage. It does one thing I really love which is that it supports relative paths.
Let me explain…

I spent the morning cleaning out the big pond. Lots of dirt and gunk and water had accumulated in the bottom over the past months. A combination of the little sump pump and a shop vac cleaned that all out.
But more concerning was the fact that when I walked down into the pond, it was mushy. There was obviously water underneath the liner.
I just pulled back the liner to reveal the water that had gotten under. It is likely that this water is from the overflow when I was testing the filter. It could be from a little bit of rainfall, but I doubt it.
There was a lot of water washing around the yard yesterday as I was figuring out the filter and the stream and overflowing areas so I am sure it got in that way.
Not a big problem. Just some more water to move with the little pump.
I am more concerned about the fact that a horsefly landed on me twice in the past hour. Devils they are.
