I love the astronomical jump in compute. Mac Mini and mini PC not enough? GET 8. Love it!

I’m in the middle of my first homelab journey with just a single mini PC with 8GB of RAM. Excited to one day get to this level.

Yeah, I started with an obsolete PC a decade ago, and now I’m on a Raspberry Pi 2 and a couple of Orange Pis (zero, 1st gen). Weirdly, it’s enough for me now. I self-host not too many things as of now. So I guess I’d grow at least a couple of Mac minis over time too. However, I’m trying to go slowly there. Funny thing is that despite me admitting that I’m more likely to arrive there too, each time I see a superlab, I wonder ‘what do you guys do with all this?!’

Gani has done a great job of keeping folks in the loop about upcoming changes and the thought process behind them, see this thread for more context: https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/4355#di...

While the project is still in its early stages, there's already some articles showing how to call WASM code from Python using PythonMonkey: https://medium.com/@willkantorpringle/executing-rust-in-pyth...

As a long time Battlefield fan, I can confirm this game is incredibly fun. The gunplay is tight, and the proximity mics and hot mics when enemies die is just such a good time. I've seen so much team play, reviving and callouts -- way more than in playing any of the recent Battlefields.

where do you have whisper.cpp running? would be cool to have that linked to an app or shortcut on your phone

I have it running on my M1 Mac. I picked up a few minis with frequent flyer points and have started to use them in places where I'd use a Rasberry Pi, and as a gateway for my RAID. I'm tickled by the idea of a modern version of Stephen's personal infrastructure[0].

whisper.cpp is an open source project that has a feature to turn whisper into a real time transcription program, it works surprisingly well by feeding small segments of audio into whisper. take a look at their GitHub page!

You're right, and it also is apparently optimised for m1.

Any luck so far? After reading through the GitHub discussion it seems like it could be hacked into Daedal, some folks in there had workflows for compiling the wasm binary.

Also, big fan of your site and content!

Thanks! I actually am just looking into this now. It looks like a lot of progress is being made (https://github.com/jart/blink/issues/8#issuecomment-13832849...). I will follow this closely and try and integrate something as soon as I see some good demos or a way to get a POC up. Thanks for the support!
