Welcome to my profile!

I like
and

I also run my own Fediverse server over at elu.cafe. We are open for registrations. You can DM me for a invite code.

Some of my personal hobbies involve reading stories and browsing the fediverse.

Should I change my domain name?

elu.cafe is kinda weird, yeah, but it's not a bad name per-say.

I can certainly think of worse ones

@amberdambey Mmm yes, it does.

I'm going to have to look into hosting this. I stopped using youtube a while ago because of the advertisements and crap. ublock works, but still.

@amberdambey What's the point of using this app on your home network over just browsing youtube directly? I admittingly know little about the app, so don't want to talk out of my butt. But you aren't anonymous if your IP address is being used.

@amberdambey Does it use yt-dlp? If so, yt-dlp just had a massive change. Needs a javascript library now or something to work.

@SkyDotBit Yeah.

I've delved into LLMs extensively in the past. It's ridiculously easy to setup a text to speech and speech to text interface. If you have enough vram, you can make it sound exactly like a real person.

You can figure out its not a real person by their emotional response to questions. It's going to be a very long time before you can fake that, IMO.

Called my medical clinic a couple hours ago. Spent ten minutes on hold. Then someone picked up. They were a LLM. They insisted they were a real person, but I could tell by how they were speaking that they weren't a real person.

This sucks.

I am okay with this.

@SkyDotBit Nobody offers free VPS.

Unless they are making money off you another way.

I do wish iceshrimp.net had working hashtags. Thankfully you can still search them but I’d love to be able to follow hashtags on my profile.
