I believe it was supposed to monitor your jellyfin library and look for potential upgrades.

Any pointers where to begin?


Maybe things have improved but the last time I tried the Home Assistant er- assistant, it was garbage at anything other than the most basic commands given perfectly.


Thanks for clarifying, after I left that comment I realized I had the order of events reversed!


Not using an ActivityPub based platform has it’s drawbacks I guess


When I first became aware of it, I did not expect this story to become a good case for worker’s rights and ensuring everyone has enough rest but here we are.


I agree with you. For better or worse, I have to imagine a lot of people who’s job relies on pumping out regular articles use LLMs to get the ball rolling. Which is what appears to have happened here.


Thanks for sharing, I was wondering if he would say anything about it. They seem to be handling it well.


I also just want to add the batteries in most of those zigbee buttons last on the order of years


How did you set them up with Plex?
I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.


Last time I looked into it something wasn’t working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I’ll give it another go…


Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer…


As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.
But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.


Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I’d use it but only in rare circumstances.


What exactly are the AI features everyone is talking about? The only one I’ve encountered is the “long click to preview link” and it’s… not super useful but far from annoying like Copilot.


He seems to be active in replies to his own posts. I recall him being frustrated by a lack of tools available for high follower accounts like they apparently offer on Twitter.


This was an unusual (For Alec) and remarkable episode. I found it very inspiring. Also Alec is one of the few YouTubers I know of on Fedi. @TechConnectify@mas.to


I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?


Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄
We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.
shelfmark. It even integrates directly with calibre web companion.
