That’s a real bitch if you’re running watchtower and have the latest tag set. If you aren’t watching this drama, it’s an easy pwn for whoever took it over.

Docker Hub needs to get their shit together.

I do OK with faster-whisper for transcribing, and I built a wyoming container for pocket-tts that does pretty good local TTS but I am running it as a docker on a ryzen machine (no gpu) so YMMV. Pocket-TTS seems better than Piper IMO, it’s certainly faster for local TTS if all you’re using is CPU.

I’ve been looking for a MCU that has enough oomph to do some noise cancellation onboard and I ordered up a couple of these in the hopes that the onboard NPU would be useful for that. It also has a speaker output and onboard mic. Price was right for 8GB of EMMC and 256MB of ram.

Are you doing anything special for the microphone(s) and noise cancellation? I’m leaning towards making my own satellites as I’d like a half a dozen or so and the PEs are more than I want to spend on the project.

It is much more accurate if you use the pump. I tried just measuring the pressure in the tube from the water column, it was all over the board and the resolution sucked, probably 10X worse. Using the pump fixes that because you aren’t just measuring how much the water compresses the air, you’re measuring exactly what pressure it takes to push out the bottom, which is exactly the water column. It doesn’t take much of a pump if all you’re pressing against is a few feet of water. Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009288427024.html

I’d just tie it to a heavy nut and drop it in the well. I probably wouldn’t even measure it, just calibrate on some known water levels and watch it for a while.

If you want an accurate measurement, you can put a tube that exits below the lowest water level you expect. Put a pressure sensor like an MPX2102 and an aquarium pump on the tube. When you turn on the pump and it starts bubbling out the tube at the bottom, the pressure you measure on the sensor will be relative to the height of the water column above the tube opening. 1"wc is approximately 249.082 pascals or 0.0361263 psi

I use this method on my brewbot for measuring the amount of water in the kettles for strike and sparging. It’s accurate to within a 100mL or so, at least with the ADC I’m using on my controller. You might need a slightly different sensor depending on the over height of water column you plan to measure.

Fixed.

Thanks. Yah, afaik pocket-tts hasn’t built anything but English yet. It’s pretty new.

Good to hear you got it to build. The base project seems to move fast so I just set this up to require a local build which will pull the pocket-TTS current code in directly.

I guess I could post a GHCR image, but I’ve never done that. I just build my own images, it’s pretty quick and then they’re up to date.

Thanks, I forgot to link that. I guess it’s in the README in any case.

What a time to be alive.

Create a cloud flare accounts and change the name servers at you current registrars to what cloudflare gives you when you try to migrate. Its best practice to split up registrar and DNS anyway. then create an API token so your reverse proxy can build records and certbot a new cert.

What rock do you live under if you’re using MySQL over MariaDB?

Thx!

Ain’t nobody reading that novel past “sudo apt install”, least of all OPs girlfriend from Canada there.

I was just curious what functions you were running on the PC that you wanted to control via HA.

That’s a good solution. What is your PC controls yaml if it isn’t too private?

And more fucking shit in the left navbar that doesn’t belong there, I’d imagine.

I know what you mean. Trying to get automations working in HA annoys me, I’m way more comfortable in Node Red. I find HA a good way to get the devices into the system and display data, then NodeRed to actually do my automations. So much more you can do in there.

If you’re on the same install that long you might never have seen them. Iirc the only thing you’d get 10 years ago was overview and maybe Map. Now it’s got a dozen stupid headings you have to turn off, it’s confusing and silly. Some of them are completely empty with no obvious way of using them, like Climate.
