Thanks for the in-depth response :) I've discovered I can copy / select text within summit - something I used to find an annoying limitation of the reddit app, so that's nice to have. So far I've discovered that community discovery within lemmy.world is just as easy in-app, but it is easier to search other servers from the web instance. So far, for things like referencing text whilst formulating a response I totally agree, but for shorter stuff I'm happy to app-switch between summit and web if needed, and for longer stuff, as an elder web user I'm no stranger to using a laptop.

Based on a recent comment here, I realized that I had heard of a couple of voice options for HA, but that there were obviously more out there that I hadn't heard of. I'm in the market to eventually replace all of my google home speakers, because I miss my voice integrations after deciding I didn't want Google harvesting us any more. I have 2 Google Nest Audio's, one original Google Home Mini, and one original Google Home.

My ideal would be an open-sourced Reflash for all of them, but ultimately I think PCB replacements for the Mini and the Nest Audio's are the most likely candidates. They look good and blend in around the house, and sound great for their size.

So here are the options I've heard of: what has anyone else seen that might be useful to me or anyone else looking for good local HA audio?

  • Home Assistant Aux 2 (from the latest post that made me think of this)
  • seeed respeaker - available in multiple shapes and configurations, but not really designed as an all-in-one solutino
  • Louder ESP32 - again available in a few shapes and sizes, but needs old bookshelf speakers, and has no mic capability that I can see.
  • onju voice - turns a nest mini gen 2 into a local device, but for music these devices are too small to ever sound good.
  • futureproof homes satellite1.1 - by far the most complete offering, and it has a chance of sounding good, but is priced accordingly.

So what is everyone else using / pining over?

Cool, I did a quick search to see what FOSS non-slop apps people were recommending, and summit came out well.

Can you elaborate on specifically what is more difficult to achieve within the app? I don't

Yeah so this is how I started -searching !privacy@lemmy.ml however despite me knowing its there and being able to visit it, it doesn't appear as a result.

That's what led me to visiting Lemmy.ml and clicking subscribe from that end.

Any way - subscribing from Summit has worked, and the privacy@lemmy.ml appears in my subscription list on the web ui too.

I use frigate on docker on LXC on PVE. I have a 10-year old Xeon with Intel iGPU that I pass through to frigate as a detector, and it handles object recognition with an inference speed of around 9ms across my 3 cameras, which is much better than when I used 3 CPU cores as detectors. I also pass the same iGPU to jellyfin for transcoding, and it handles both jobs concurrently without too much fuss (but it does get loud!) Worth considering anything 8th gen Intel or newer with iGPU will do fine with a small number of cameras.

I am now! Summit let me subscribe with a single tap, and I prefer the UI to the web version.

Cheers.

Thanks for trying.

Maybe its the username thing - who do we talk to about bugs around here?!

[-] reliant8521@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Thanks! That's... An interesting bug. I've added a couple of communities from .ml without issue, so it does seem to be specific to that one community.

I'm new here, fleeing reddit and it's war on anonymity. Happy to be here!

I created my account on Lemmy.world, and yesterday learned how to subscribe to communities on other servers.

I was adding a few from Lemmy.ml, but hit a snag with a couple, using the 'Privacy' community as my example: when I hit 'subscribe' and enter 'Lemmy.world' as the instance to follow from, I just get a white page with 'Server error'.

I left it 24hrs and tried again, and its still the same.

Any hints?
