zulip is great, not really a discord replacement, they don't have built-in streaming/video/voice but it's a great chat server and seems like a very ethical open-source project with a backing business, I've got nothing but praise for them

having lived in Boston this is not terribly surprising, street parking is straight up hunger games when there's snow on the ground

that looks promising, I think I can see a path forward there, I still need to dig into the new calendar functionality, thanks for sharing!

Forgot to add, something I really want to figure out is how to do reminders with it. I'm stuck using Gemini on my phone for that and I'd really love to find a way to do that in HA if anyone has any tips.

We've been using the previews since they shipped. The Mycroft wake word has worked well enough for the whole family. Tried the chatbot fallback but the syntax of the intent parser is strict enough we were getting routed to the llm way more than we wanted. For example asking it to turn on a light and Claude telling us it couldn't do that. It fails faster and more reliably with just the intent parser.

Our favorite use case is shopping lists. "Hey Mycroft add greens to groceries list" is great and won me some WAF. I also regularly use timers, some custom commands (hey Mycroft I fed the dog), and managing lights with scenes (hey Mycroft turn on Daytime).

I'm hoping to one day transition to a local llm that's fine tuned for homeassistant specific tasks and it looks like some good ones will arrive soon. The existing implementations haven't won me over yet.

Dunno, I'm a big fan and the wife doesn't hate them, I'm really optimistic about the future of these. I think HA is going about them the right way and we'll see good things in the future. It's a little rough right now if you're not willing to put up with the quirks probably but I think it's just going to keep getting better.

This is 1000% true but some people need the gui and that's probably ok too

1 gallon of kombucha
1 diced apple split between 3 bottles
1 tsp brown sugar per bottle
1/3 stick cinnamon per bottle

Haven't tasted it yet but gosh darn it looks good, happy fall everyone

 

It tastes so good! I've kept a sourdough starter around for like 3 years now and made a few things but never a proper sourdough bread, had some vacation time recently and decided to eat that frog. It turned out so well! Just wanted to share my happy, hope y'all are doing ok

 

Just started our kombucha journey this year and our cherry tree was super productive so we blended some and added it to the second ferment. Turned out super good! It's good to be here, already seeing some recipes we're excited to try. Any good tea recommendations? We'd love any decaf/no-caf tea recommendations people have.

 

I'm out of the house ATM but I've been looking forward to today for like a year now. Needed controller support to actually get some game time in, I'm so stoked it's finally here! Anyone play it yet?

 
 

hey FPVers, I picked up a goggles x and the meteor 75 pro hd last year and I've been having a blast

I've been itching to buy my next tinywhoop and that pretty much means going analog. I've got my conversion kit for the goggles x mostly worked out and I'm down to picking out an analog module. I was wondering what people recommended. Are the rapidfire and TBS fusion pretty much the only real choice? I'm mostly just gonna fly my tinywhoops around the house. Let me know what you think and happy flying!

Made it onto hackernews, what do people think?

 

Turned out so yummy, it was time to finally add another loaf to my repertoire. My first braid too!
