I have Zigbee stuff. Here’s what I like about that: they bridge between each other (if they’re powered rather than battery operated) and that extends the range. The range can be great to begin with! They’re not on my network, adding confusion or load on the access points, plus they can’t phone home… all local. Then there’s smart switches, and I’m going to point out that without WiFi they can’t be controlled, but Zigbee? Sure, I can easily power cycle my router and access points with Zigbee smart plugs! In fact I have an automation to do that daily. Finally, if something is WiFi you can’t know in advance if it’s cloud based or not, and regardless of that it’s a potentially unsafe device that is connected to the internet. Low power, but botnets work with numbers rather than power.

Stampela@startrek.websiteto Stable Diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Introducing Amuse 2.2 Beta: With Stable Diffusion 3.5 Support and AMD Ryzen™ AI Image Quality UpdateEnglish2·5 months agoThose are quite the minimum specifications to run it! Damn! Have they ever heard of “optimization”? Because in 4 minutes, SD 3.5 medium got
out of my iPhone 13 Pro, running locally… with a total of 6gb of system ram. So I’m going to say that 32 gb AND a RX 7900 are a little laughable (even if much faster no doubt).

Stampela@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•2024.10: Heading in the right directionEnglish1·7 months agoSimilarly unfortunate situation for me, using the backup didn’t really help. But I DO have the Alexa integration, I guess next time I get HA between reboots I’ll disable that.
Stampela@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•2024.10: Heading in the right directionEnglish7·7 months agoI think on my system it’s causing reboots. Not fun.
Stampela@startrek.websiteto Stable Diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Any advice for generating reproducible images across devices?English2·7 months agoI have a few examples that I hope retain their metadata.
Seed mode is… basically, I stopped using Automatic1111 a long time ago and kinda lost track of what goes on there but in the app I use (Draw Things) there’s a seed mode called Scale Alike. Could be exclusive, could be the standard everywhere for what I know. It does what it says, changing resolution will keep things looking close enough.
Edit: obviously at some point they had to lose the bloody metadata….
Stampela@startrek.websiteto Stable Diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Any advice for generating reproducible images across devices?English1·7 months ago“Better quality” is an interesting concept. Increasing steps, depending in the sampler, changes the image. The seed mode usually changes image with changes in size.
So, what exactly do you mean with “better quality”?

Stampela@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Excellent Home Assistant PlatformEnglish1·8 months agoThe bloody morons… why they say 16 tops if it can do better? It’s not like they don’t have access to 16gb sticks to test 2 of them! Like, I get when it’s “this supports up to” and that’s the largest available at launch, but this is just stupid. Thanks for correcting me!

Not on an N95/97/100 as they support max 16… https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/231803/intel-processor-n100-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html so they can be repaired, but not upgraded.

With that I can run Schnell on my iPhone 13 Pro!

Stampela@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•what's a good ip camera for home assistant?English1·11 months agoThe wireless Reolinks are not great. Like, nothing against the camera itself, however, the WiFi antenna must be smaller than the one in my watch. The range is truly abysmal.
Tapo ones are perfectly fine, good quality all around, but it’s important to specify that I have experience with external, solar powered Reolinks and indoor Tapo, so it’s a bit of a different category.
Stampela@startrek.websiteto Stable Diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com•New AI image generator is 8 times faster than OpenAI's best tool — and can run on cheap computersEnglish3·1 year agoI’m guessing there’s a mix. The smallest version is 700 million, possibly the one used to generate the time data reported, but the largest (or not?) still runs with 8gb. If I remember correctly SD3 is supposed to have multiple versions, starting from 800 millions and going up, so this is going to be interesting.

Can’t test it on my phone, but for things with the A12 and up (although ram can and will be a problem if less than 6gb) there’s https://apps.apple.com/it/app/draw-things-ai-generation/id6444050820?l=en-GB
Ah, great choice! I use the same model for my NAS. Anyway the N100 is really powerful for this task, and should have enough spare power to allow experimentation with different addons. Plex likes the intel chip and uses it for transcoding, if you want to do that.
