Hello World!

  • What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100?

    Jump

  • I'm actually blown away by how good of a 3D Printer you can get for ~$200 now. Huge improvement from just a few years ago.

  • That's a good example! I have a RG35XX, and definitely fun to see how far gaming tech has come.

  • I was thinking of something that would be considered futuristic to an average person today. So, maybe something uncommon, with impressive capabilities, but still affordable?

    Not sure if many items fit that criteria, but was curious if any!

  • VPS provider Vultr Claims Rights to Sell Your Data & Programs

    Jump

  • Many are, but as far as I know, no hosting provider has ever tried something like what was claimed (which is why it made such news).

    It seems like many people didn't even verify that portion of ToS was new (checking web archive), or wait for Vultr's response before closing their accounts.

    Even after the official response, it feels like people stuck to their original assumptions and felt justified moving services?

    Companies, and specifically the people in them, make mistakes. What matters is their reaction. I'm scratching my head to think what Vultr could do better in this case (other than creating a time machine to avoid the initial screw up).

  • Vultr posted their response to the concerns here - https://www.vultr.com/news/a-note-about-vultrs-terms-of-service/

    The portion of the ToS that people were worried about had been in place for years and had nothing to do with server intellectual property. They are removing it to avoid future confusion.

    I don't disagree that it was poorly worded, but the amount of people jumping to the worst possible conclusions on this is concerning. What happened to Hanlon's Razor?

  • What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method?

    Jump

  • Weird! For reference one VM I run on only has 1 GB of memory, and Netdata uses 100-200 MB. Could be something going on with UnRAID though. Definitely some sort of bug I'd think, since normally resource usage should be very low across the board.

    Jump

  • That's strange, I've run it fine on some very underpowered hardware. Are you adding a specific monitoring integration with it, or just out of the box settings?

  • TIL: How to Wake up a Laptop without WoL

    Jump

  • I actually tried something like this, the laptop BIOS didn't have any settings to tweak for A/C power changes. However, it does wake from sleep after plugging in. The issue is, it immediately goes back to sleep (within seconds). Tried quite a few things to try to stop that behavior (e.g. running Power Toys Awake) but had no luck.

    So that's when I switched to ESP Keyboard.

    Jump

  • Oh yeah I should have specified this is to wake from sleep, not a complete shutdown. So not a complete replacement for WoL.

  • I was a little surprised as well, but I think it's because the keyboard / mouse I use (and the ESP32) all use Bluetooth LE specifically.

    I looked at USB solutions first actually, but then decided to try ESP Home solution since I was already familiar with the system.

  • I definitely thought about trying something physical like that too, but mostly as a fallback plan!

  • As others stated, you can run and access the interface locally (or setup your own reverse proxy) for free. Their Cloud dashboard is also free for up to 5 nodes. They recently added a flat-rate "Homelab" plan as well, if you want to remove the limit. It's all quite usable for $0 otherwise though!

  • I'm a huge fan of Netdata, very configurable and monitors just about anything you could want. Great interface and alerts too - https://www.netdata.cloud/

  • Recommendations for the best, low-heat, GPU with ray-tracing in 2023?

    Jump

  • I picked up a 4070 and have been really happy with the low power draw (and therefore heat) after undervolting it.

  • What's your experience with the new openwakeword?

    Jump

  • Not the OP, but commenting on the Atoms. They are good for testing, but not sure I'd want to use them for a full setup.

    For one, speakers are pretty rough in them 😂 That's kinda to be expected though, it's intended as a cheap dev device.

    However, the bigger thing for me is to wait and see what hardware HA will support when they implement on-device wake-word processing. I'd definitely prefer no continuous audio streaming over the network, until after I have said the wake word.

  • What's your experience with the new openwakeword?

    Jump

  • I picked up an Atom for testing as well. I do get a delay, but definitely not 28 seconds... Maybe more like 4-5?

    It's totally dependent on the speed of the hardware you are running HA on though. Since the microphone is just streaming sound to the server, which then processes it. I'm running on fairly beefy server.

    Just for a test, you could also try toggling off the wake word in the Atom Device settings in HA. Then you can send a command by pushing the physical button. Could at least narrow the delay down to wake word processing vs normal speech processing that way?
