Just one more ai tool bro just one more.

Please bro its so good you gotta use them all to make it worth it.

"Window’s is built on many layers of shit and we dont know what will or won’t break things.

Also co pilot was really expensive"

I used a cloudflare tunnel for streaming music in jellyfin. Didn’t so much else with it and it worked pretty well. Anything high bandwidth you should use something else, but for stuff that doesnt consume a ton of bandwidth like music streaming in my case, it worked fine, at least when I used it a few years back.

Man where was this post when in was DMing? lol.

This is super cool though. Rn I’m doing some film editing work for my friend, and this could probably be useful for subtitles too. Thanks for sharing.

Yea you’re in the right place lol. Like others in this thread, ive also thought about this a lot.

I watched a video recently of someone using a pi for android auto: https://youtu.be/Puk_pzMGd7c

I think the only problem you’ll find is that the software would need to be more custom if you didn’t want to use Android auto. Some kind of customized launcher for the pi or something akin to that to mimic a infotainment system.

IMO, using a pi for android auto would be the easiest way to do this but totally get wanting to do it on your own.

I think as long as you use something like organic maps and have a GPS module, a pi should be able to at least do GPS. That said, I think you have to use downloaded maps in that case. I can’t say for sure but that’d be my best guess.

As for screens, my advice is just buy a screen from pi. I looked extensively for a screen that you can hook up to a pi with usb c or anything else and from what I saw, a lot of the options for touchscreens are worse and or more expensive than what pi offers at $65 and its about as plug and play as it gets since they built it.

In all I think its very doable hardware wise. Software would maybe be your only hurdle depending on how exactly you want this set up. If you wanna throw a couple weeks of work at it, I’d be interested to see it so def post again if you do.

I’m known as the “spreadsheet” guy at my work since I’ve done a lot of upgrades to our existing tools and or made new ones. I’m learning coding just doing that through app script and am toying around with some game Dev ideas in godot but this sounds super interesting. Thanks for sharing.

TL:DR, yes you can. But its not nearly as reliable as wired internet and is dependant on where you are.

I’m currently living in a place where only DSL is available for wired internet and its 1.5 mbps down at maximum so this is essentially my situation. I dont self host anything currently as I’m kind of in between projects but I could in theory self host something and access it remotely.

What I’m currently using for internet is a load balanced connection between starlink and lte. I’d recommend just using lte if possible. Starlink is good but it can be very spotty.

I’m surrounded by trees and the towers near me are old and go down more often that I would like or get bogged down so I need starlink but due to the trees it goes down frequently. Every minute or so. Sometimes I get 5 minutes of internet through it and thats fun.

IMO, the more self hostable options we have for services, the better. This sounds like a good idea to me.

Good luck with your project and thank you for taking the time to contribute to the free and open source community.

If anyone hasn’t seen the videos Jim Browning did a while back about gaining access to a india scam call centers network and subsequently, thier cameras, its a fascinating watch but also pretty concerning.

One of the worst parts is that sometimes the police are on the scammers payroll, making it hard to take action. It would likely take an international effort to even make a dent against these kinds of places. They make a ton of money off these scams so its going to keep happening.

This is the way. My brother printer is a hl2040, came out sometime in the early 2000s. It still prints. I’ve replaced the toner cartridge once since my Dad gave it to me back in 2016.

The other day I needed to print something out and this was after I had reinstalled linux.

Just fired right up, instantly recognized. Its one of the best pieces of hardware I own.

Certainly counts, Samsung has a few features like grabbing text from images that I found useful.

My problem with them is its all online stuff and I’d like that sort of thing to be processed on device but thats just me.

I think folks often are thinking AI is only the crappy image generation or chat bots they get shoved to. AI is used in a lot of different things, only difference is that those implementations like drawing assist or that text grabbing feature are actually useful and are well done.
