I use Tesseract, which is fantastic. Be wary, though: the developer recently put the project in maintenance mode and swore off the fediverse, then i guess changed his mind and continues to develop it - it’s certainly possible it could happen again.

Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comOPto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Can Ollama integration also search the web?English1·14 days agoThanks for the explanations, @[email protected].
I introduced myself to tools/functions in Open-WebUI: there is a community library of tools/functions and you can essentially copy/paste them into Open-WebUI and then they’re available there. If I understand correctly, tools add functionality to models and functions add functionality to Open-WebUI.
I’m still confused, though: if I add a web search tool to Open-WebUI (some do exist), I would guess that it could only ever add functionality to the model if I access the model through Open-WebUI - but HA is accessing the model directly through Ollama.
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comOPto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Can Ollama integration also search the web?English1·14 days agoThanks for the reply and the assistance, @[email protected].
I’m not using any add-ons in Home Assistant for this integration, just the Ollama integration (but I suspect that’s what you meant).
Its docs say that it doesn’t integrate with sentence triggers, so I think this suggestion won’t work. :(
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Tor Browser: Most Common FingerprintsEnglish10·17 days agoThis is interesting. Thanks for sharing your test results.
Do I understand correctly that if your computer shares a fingerprint with fewer computers, it’s more distinguishable/identifiable?

Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just started a community for those who wish to move away from LemmyEnglish105·2 months agoDid…did you start a lemmy community for people to talk about not talking on lemmy…on lemmy?
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What have you been using for cloud backups?English5·2 months agoI have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take “cloud” to mean “offsite” then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this yearEnglish15·3 months agoWell, no I’m not. You’re right. I miscalculated how much data was needed for video streaming. Even multiple simultaneous hi-res streams should stream fine with 1GbE.
But as an abstracted idea, you might want high throughput within your LAN for some reaosn, even if an ISP doesn’t offer 10Gbps to your house.

Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comOPto homeassistant@lemmy.world•M5Stack Atom Echo configurationEnglish2·3 months agoThanks for the help, @[email protected]
I installed that config and still no dice. In fact, with those configs the Echo is in a worse state than with my previous configs:
Maybe I installed those configs wrong? I just copied them into the ESPHome Building editor window for the Echo and clicked install.
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•self hosted browser sync?English2·3 months agoI use xBrowserSync for bookmark syncing. The code hasnt been touched in a few years but it still works great. Set it and forget it. There’s also an android app - not sure about ios.
But it doesnt do browser tabs - just bookmarks.
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•*Permanently Deleted*English6·3 months agoI’ve heard numerous recommendations of both sabre and radicale, but ive never used them. I use baikal for both contacts and calendars. It’s simple and it works well.

Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use for listening to podcasts?English2·3 months agoThis looks cool! I was yearning for a similar feature just a few days ago. Thanks for sharing.
Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service?English3·3 months agoThe only problem I’ve had with Bitwarden is their recent UI retool which ended up causing a huge ruckus among the user base to the point where they gave an option to switch back.
I think the new UI is pretty terrible. I didn’t know until you mentioned it, [email protected], that there was an option to revert. I can’t find it in the settings - how does one revert to the prior UI?

Mike Wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Least garbage printer manufacturer?English3·5 months agoI’ve had canon, HP, and brother inkjets - dislike them all (though hate HP as a company worse than the others.). Finally I bought a Xerox color laser printer (and scanner, etc) and really like it. Part of the enshittification is the world of inkjet ink, but part is also the companies.
It is in my .bashrc, but any delay is not noticeable.
Here’s the Readme from the commit when he discontinued Tesseract.
Here’s a post where the developer explains his reasons.
