I review and approve every single line written by Claude because I want it to code like me, in my style. Yes, even with the bugs and problems I would introduce if I wrote it myself…

Nope, those are the worse.

A voice assistant comes to mind. Ideally, it'd be local, but if you don't have the hardware you'll go with the cloud, in which case, the fastest, the better.

A Jellyfin or Plex server can be had for real cheap using used hardware. A Ryzen 3 build can be found for next to nothing here in Brazil[1], so I imagine it’d be even cheaper in th…

Personally, I got my first invite by signing up for a seedbox accepted by the tracker. Then I got invites to other trackers from the same group by being a good seeder.

While waiting for another developer to finish something for a project I’m working on, I’m working on an MCP server in Go that provides a Home Assistant voice assistant with basic f…

Not seeing the refusals everyone is talking about, but I’ve only spent a few hours with it so far. Had it review a password generator library I wrote to see if the passwords have b…

I pay about $80 for a 1Gbps symmetrical connection in Brazil. I work in photography in my spare time, and a single photoshoot can easily pass 2k raw photos, which I backup to three…

My latest job and anxiety, mostly.

I self-host most of the things my family and I use on servers at home, and I document everything. Hopefully, the documentation will help. I have a “death instruction manual” docume…

This seems pretty awesome; being able to use an 8B model for tool calling would be perfect. Interested in using this for Home Assistant using a Mac Mini as my server. Does it run o…

The software seems pretty interesting. Is any integration with Home Assistant planned?

This looks amazing, I'd love to try the Home Assistant version! Email is on my profile :)

Thanks, I’ll take a look at that!

Mind pointing me to an example book in Wikidata? I managed to find a few, but not if I search by ISBN, which makes it hard to find. Unless you mean the fact you can find the identi…

I’ll definitely discuss this with Drew, as he’s the one working on the database refactor. Thank you for the feedback!

I haven’t created a ticket for OpenLibrary yet, but it’s on my mental todo list. I’ll create the ticket for multiple new extractors today. I’d love to help improve other services. …

Right now the meeting happens on the fly and then is cached. In the future I imagine the finished merge will be saved as JSON to the database, depending on which is more expensive,…

No, I decided pretty early on to make it database specific instead of more generic, so we do use some PostgreSQL features right now, like their UUIDv7 generation. But once the data…

Can you provide an example?

No, right now you need an ISBN to search for a book. At a later date I'll implement search by title or author, which should help with this use case.

Not gonna lie, I didn't even know Wikidata existed until now. I'll look into it today and create a ticket for a new extractor. Thanks for letting me know!
