Linux uh… Finds a way.

Crawl out through the fallout baby.

I have it working on Debian, it wasn’t THAT hard, but I never got it to work with the GPU so it was SUPER slow. I’ve since found XTTS2 which set up super easy, comes with a web GUI and just supports my GPU out of the box.

I have my Boomer dad using Linux Mint on his laptop, but he was still using Windows on his desktop PC.

Then it updated to Windows 11 and he HATES it and asked me for help to put Linux Mint on his desktop as well.

This is a real estate agent in his 70s who needs help making scans and downloading email attachments.

Shrek! What’s happening? I just wanted to make sure you know that we’re putting the new cover sheets on the TPS reports now? Did you get that memo?

`import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

if not cap.isOpened(): print(“Error: Could not open webcam.”)

for _ in range(3): print(“Bloody Daisy”)

cap.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()`

You might be on to something. I gave Stable Diffusion 1.5 this same prompt and now I’m scared to touch my computer.

Because her papers are PDFs and “Adobe does PDFs.” I was not part of this decision making process.

I think he means “Disappointment.”

You want OpenWRT. They’re not too limited, but they’re not very powerful either. Fan controller? Probably. Pihole? You can probably hack that together, though I’ve never tried. Media server? Erm… not my first choice. Other stuff? Limited only by your imagination, time constraints and willingness to troubleshoot weird problems most people have never had before.

It depends. I run an instance with a whole two users and it costs me about $25 a month.

But if I let 200 users join, I would need beefier hardware and a higher bandwidth limit.

However running an instance like Beehaw is probably on the order of hundreds, not thousands of dollars a month.

• sshfs. I use it for everything.
• autossh
• git. It always annoys me how Debian doesn’t come with it out of the box. Gets me every time I set up a new server.
• Signal desktop app.

This is the best answer.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

They’ll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you

Chew you up for brunch

And finish you off for dinner or lunch

They’re marching down the halls

They’re crawling up the walls

They’re gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy

Rotten to the core

They’re standing outside your door

Remember Herbert Farbage

While taking out his garbage

He turned around and he did see

Tomatoes hiding in his tree

Now he’s just a memory

I know I’m going to miss her

A tomato ate my sister

Sacramento fell today

They’re marching into San Jose

Tomatoes are on their way

The mayor is on vacation

The governor’s fled the nation

The police have gone on strike today

The National Guard has run away

Tomatoes will have their day

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

They’ll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you

Chew you up for brunch

And finish you off for dinner or lunch munch munch

Dinner or lunch munch munch

Dinner or lunch

Here you go.

Yeah… it’s very clickbatey to NOT include that detail.

I’ve written more than enough words to win, while failing to finish my story. I’ve also played a lot with local LLMs. Can confirm on all counts.

“Harley!”

“Yes puddin?”

“I need you to dress up as that Sailor Moon character from that Japanese cartoon show.”

“Oh, you’ah so kinky puddin! Ah…Why do you want me to do that?”

“Because I wish to place you on a throne of darkness surrounded by the skulls of our enemies and force Gotham to kneel before you and swear their allegiance to you.”

“Oh puddin! The things you say get me all wobbly inside! But why the cahtoon costume?”

“Harley!”

“Yes puddin?”

“JUST DO IT!!!”

“Uhh… Ok puddin.”

That’s hot.

I mean… imagine being out in the sun like that, covered in all that fur.

All my machines are named after Autobots.
