Hopefully you should see traffic die off a bit too as the /external endpoint is no longer externally abusable (get it) without being an authenticated user – which became problematic 🤦‍♂️ – The web is so fucking hostile 🤬

@abucci Hopefully it shouldn’t 🤞

I had a play with LiveKit Agents Playground: KITT and I have to say it’s pretty impressive. Not the ChatGPT part of course, but the speech recognition and text to speech synthesis.

KITT is an AI voice assistant powered by LiveKit Agents, Deepgram, Eleven Labs, and ChatGPT. It is running on LiveKit Playground.

It’s too bad it relies on three cloud services, none of which can be run locally (with the exception of Ollama that you could replace the OpenAI component with).

In-reply-to » Went for a walk onto my backyard mountain again and ate the first three wild blackberries of the season. Watching the sunset unfold from the summit was quite spectacular. The solar disk was glowing extremely blood red. The photos show it way too white, though.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Man gotta love that sunset !!! So nice 😊

In-reply-to » @prologic hm, it seems to be full disk that's the issue, same problem with the avatar in tmp it seems that's mentioned earlier here. I deleted them now. I regained 33% space (9GB).

You should have the fancy new SPA-like UI too 😅 (just checked!)

You are reminding me that I should cut a release soon™ so there are binaires you can just “download” and use for the platform of choice 😅

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no So make deps would have installed some tools in either $GOPATH/bin or $GOBIN. See which with go env. Chuck that in your $PATH and you’re good to run make server. Normally this would be something like:

GOBIN=$HOME/go/bin
GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GOPATH GOBIN
...

In-reply-to » @bender Thank you :) Yeah I've been silent for a while, been so much work and other things to focus on, but now I have vacation, so I missed this place, and wanted to bring it up to speed here as well :)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I’m doing okay 👌 Busy with work as you can imagine, and still tinkering of course whenever I can spare a moment or two! 😅

I also think you may be running a version that had a bug and lacked cleanup of those temp files

@abucci I will have a look but I suspect it has something to do with the open nature of the external endpoint. I closed this loophole recently due to other reasons myself.

In-reply-to » Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines - YouTube -- This is a really good accurate and comical take on what happened with this whole Crowdstrike global fuck up.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so in other words, their own entire sections of global industries that are using this rubbish crowd, strike antivirus/endpoint detection, piece of crap that are infection effectively in violation of the terms of conditions of the service? 🤔

That’s some good sleuth thing that @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🙇‍♂️

In-reply-to » @movq I do that constantly, on the Fediverse. I often type long replies, disagreeing, or agreeing with someone, read it over and over, just to realise there isn’t anything to gain by it, and scrape it.

@bender@twtxt.net sometimes having the open honest and transparent conversation and discussion is more valuable than anything to be individually gained. 😅 it helps us learn!

In-reply-to » @lyse What about "Click to Load"?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org So you neither like “Click to Load” nor “Infinite Scroll” eh? I mean I sort of get it, infinite scroll is kind of annoying as you never really know wtf is going on. Click to Load misses out on “how many pages”, “what page you’re on”, etc. But is it really that bad? 🤔

In-reply-to » The “Matrix Experiment”, i.e. running a Matrix server for our family, has failed completely and miserably. People don’t accept it. They attribute unrelated things to it, like “I can’t send messages to you, I don’t reach you! It doesn’t work!” Yes, you do, I get those messages, I just don’t reply quickly enough because I’m at work or simply doing something else.
