Food, meat [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
I made a "savory pumpkin pie" for Thanksgiving dinner. It contained bacon, onion, rosemary, cheese, and a bit of black pepper and cayenne. I think it turned out pretty well!

Pie in pan on oven. The pie is covered with cheese.
To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:
"I don't care, I use Linux"
Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?
This is a systemic problem.
You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

My last blog post for September. After not writing any blog posts for 4 years, I wrote 4 in one month!
New blog post!
Using small AI tools on Debian GNU/Linux

I am using the word #AI as it is meant to be used, as click-bait. 😉

^ This blog post was made possible by notes taken in my @TiddlyWiki file. It would've felt like too much work to write otherwise. Assembling a blog post from a bunch of tiddlers + a little editing is quick and easy.
I just realized that I can't have both speech-to-text and text-to-speech working simultaneously in this setup. If I install the package `sox` on Debian, my speech-to-text setup works, but it breaks the speech-dispatcher somehow, so can't do text-to-speech.
Did anybody figure out how to get both of them working? i.e. Piper and Whisper
Edit: I think there is a problem with how Pied uses sox.

If you have a problem using #Pied with Firefox Reader Mode, install this Firefox extension as an alternative.

It uses the browser's local storage to store the Piper voices and runs entirely within the browser.

I have started quoting liberally in my linkblog (subscribe via RSS).
Earlier, I was only writing my own summary or opinion of the subject, but quoting adds more context. This is inspired by the writing style of Pixel Envy blog. https://pxlnv.com
