Morgen bin ich zum Weihnachtsliedersingen im Stadion in #Paderborn. Ich wollte mir dafür einen Anhänger basteln, der passend zum Gesang leuchtet. Leider habe ich zu spät bemerkt, dass ich kein passendes Mikro da habe. Für die Demo wird es über LedFX auf einem Laptop gesteuert. Morgen dann leider ohne reaktiven Effekten.

Microsoft VibeVoice does a really good job in TTS (Even on a CPU). Yet I won't be able to run it on my Minipc 🙁 But at least I was able to make it run on my PC.
If I really want to make my own website-reader, it seems like elevenlabs is the way to go.

"Yes, this is about AI. The AI industry can only succeed if it separates people from their joy and their confidence. An industry run by people who were not raised with love, attempting to steal it from others."

Without the fetch, the result of a dry run may be misleading.
Cold front arrives late tonight and the wind was certainly keen to hasten its arrival. Spitting rain at times, but happily any serious downpour never arrived.
Ran a quiet, pensive 7.5 km on the HS track. Heart ❤️ and lungs 🫁 felt great, but legs 🦵 were less willing. In all, the 4/1 run/walk intervals are helping. I look forward to being further along, but in the interim I can feel progress.
7.51 km in 59:30 for an average pace of 7:55/km.

One contender, the Guardian has learned, is Gothams LLC, a politically connected contractor that won a $33m contract to help run the notorious south Florida detention center nicknamed
“Alligator Alcatraz”,
where immigrants are housed in tents and trailers.
Documents and three people familiar with the plans say that the contractor had an “inside track” to secure what might be the most lucrative contract it’s ever had.

Mein Bruder hat gestern bei seiner neuen Arbeit darauf hingewiesen, dass das I-Wort für die Ureinwohner Nordamerikas nicht so cool ist (wird dort wohl häufig als Phrase benutzt, in dem Stil "ein I... kennt keinen Schmerz").
Ich bin ein bisschen stolz.
Vor allem weil er in Diskussionen unter uns immer eher die "is doch nicht böse gemeint"-Haltung einnimmt.
I am wrong! The New Colgate Powerhouse is independent, owned and run by the Yuba Water Agency. So the pipe failure is not PG&E's responsibility. PG&E's grid didn't respond very well but maybe there's water damage in the area that complicated things.

Watched Solar Opposites, a cartoon started by Justin Roiland like Rick and Morty with lots in common.
Including Roiland being kicked out after a couple of seasons for his crimes, and being replaced. This time not with an impersonator but just a new more british actor. Stayed pretty much in vibe with his style though.
Four aliens stuck on earth, plus the adventures of the tiny people that one of the aliens shrunk to keep in his wall like an ant farm. And the Silver Cops.
Pretty good fun. Watched the five seasons on Netflix in a couple of weeks. Apparently there's another if I search or wait.
Interesting how the machine can just keep churning it out even when the lead folks disappear. That's the ideal I suppose. Create the show then let it run on without you.

I'm somewhat proud of this. A few years ago I bought this trailer, specifically choosing the width because it could carry a typical snowblower. This is how I load a snowblower onto the trailer, all by myself, with no need to run the snowblower up a ramp.

If you want to stop something using namespaces, e.g. to stop Glycin using bwrap namespaces; the easiest way seems to be to run it in a namespace using bwrap!

seems to work!

Isn’t it fascinating how you still run into on-hold music that breaks up and sounds like it’s played through a 14k4 connection using Realplayer in the year of 2025? Meanwhile you can send better sounding music by simply holding your phone next to a random speaker at a reasonable volume.

Yesterday I tried out Mistral OCR and… wow. I didn’t know that OCR of PDFs with complex layouts, tables, images and everything is basically a solved problem now? Will likely have it run OCR on a 250 page PDF to extract the full text and tables soon, at a cost of roughly 25 cents, if I read the pricing grid correctly. The initial test on a few representative pages was very promising. Next step is to give it a few pages of my terrible handwriting and see what happens 😅.

Just disposing of a couple Indian pickles in my substantial collection. These two had a pretty good run. Need to make room in the cupboard for more recent acquisitions.

Reading Paul Krugman talking with Adam Tooze . Re. € crisis in 2012: "Paul DeGraue, Belgian economist said, “this is a panic, the numbers don’t really justify this.” Mario Draghi actually agreed and said three words, “whatever it takes,” that the ECB will stand behind that and will make sure the countries don’t run out of cash. The crisis just evaporated like nothing. *Most effective central bank statement in the history of humanity*, I’m sure." Here is Dhragi's speech:
On a more positive note, my home now features a #vacuum robot running the open source #Valetudo cloud replacement. The guide on how to do that was surprisingly easy to follow. Some light soldering, a bit of flashing that's pretty similar to rooting an Android device, and it's done.

On Monday, Jasmine Crockett announced her bid to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in next year’s election,
a move that took place just hours after Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) dropped out of the race to run in a newly drawn House district.
The congresswoman,
a frequent critic of Donald Trump,
accompanied the announcement with a 45-second clipwhere she stares in silence and eventually cracks a smile as audio of the president’s insults toward her plays throughout.

I made a script for this, but then I thought a webui would be better so I could use it in my phone and stuff
I asked an LLM to generate a python webui to run server-side the script I wrote, and surprisingly it 100% worked first try. I was sure it wouldn’t work at all, but I didn’t touch that code and it works.
I can’t even say I “vibe coded” this bc I didn’t even read the code enough to know its vibes lmao. I’m surprised this even works, and it does work well. What the actual fuck.
Welp, not my favourite way to do things but I wasn’t in the mood to do python and figure out the extra libraries and stuff.
And it works so I’ll just use that. In a hardened systemd service to make sure it doesn’t like accidentally delete my whole system or something.
