I use Autokey to automate many, many small things. I have abbreviations I type for words, and phrases and it replaces them for me.

Going further I use talon voice for voice control of the system.

I say things like “check work email” or “search duck” etc, and it does as it’s meant to. Took a while to get setup, and comfortable. But now done I am so much faster talking, rather than typing.

In one voice command for example, talon goes to my browser, selects the appropriate tab, finds the search input, enters a search phrase, including using clipboard contents, and then, selects the result, so it can load.

In terms of keys it’s maybe (rough count) 21 keystrokes. All one in one voice command. Game changer.

However, talon voice is NOT open source, and I don’t love that. As the community put in huge amounts of time and resources to extend it. Which is risky, as enshitification can come on projects like this. For now, things are good.

Play / Pause button is missing.

Sorry mate, the most I can give you is $20. Take it or leave it.

Image toolbox on Android is phenomenal.

Does exactly what you needs, and a tonne more.

I have used OMV for years. Great system.

I remote in using zeroTier.

It’s installed on the OMV server, and I have it on all my devices.

That puts all my devices on a virtual “local network” so I can explore my shared folders, log into the OMV admin panel, etc, anywhere in the world.

Has been working beautifully for me, for years.

I hope that helps.

You can if you wish. You just choose not to. Like so many of us. If more did volunteer, the problem would disappear. It’s that simple.

I just typed “african mouse” into both bing, and ddg. I got EXACTLY the same results. Which I kind of expected . Same order, everything. However, my understanding is, that DDG obfuscates the user, and doesn’t track. This is my hope, and why I use it.

I have to admit I still have some legacy code that does that.

Then I found pandas. Life changed for the better.

Now I have lots if old code that I’ll update, “one day”.

However, even my old code, terrible as it is, does not overheat anything, and can process massively larger sets of data than 60,000 rows without any issue except poor efficiency.

I got my message this week past. I feel I’ve finally connected.

Stole 4 ebikes then?

Try and spend time with them, even if it seems so boring at the time.

Now that the little guy has all grown up and left home, I miss him so much.

I’d do it all again and spend 10 times the amount of time with them.

Love it. On your way to Alfonso Dunn.

Must keep practising my hatching

Woah! That gandalf!!

Look, as an Aussie who first visited a year ago to NZ, I was smitten. I seriously considered moving to NZ. But my God, the cost of everything is so expensive. How are you all living and surviving there?!

They don’t actually say what they did in the whole article.

I kid you not.

J Borrows mechanical.

Brown switches. Backlit. With proper transparent keys. Soft grippy risers. Beautiful form factor. Feels amazing.

They killed it. I’m super impressed.

Dictator Trump and his henchman. Dark times are coming.

That is horrifying
