• digiKam for EXIF dates before updating to Google Photos

Local Website development

Status: Active | Recent checkpoint:Got the page up, didnt i?

That is actually THIS project right now. Working on making a locally hosted site, eventually to open to the internet, but currently just to keep my thoughts in order and give me a place to talk about what I'm working on without driving the people in my house crazy

Project Roskakoriin

Status: Stagnant

Initially this project was focused on coming up with a way for me to have someone play music for me while I was streaming gran turismo 7 in VR on twitch. The original plan was getting a playlist set up that could play for a while, and people in chat could add things to it, but no one ever really did, so I'd have to get up and add music, and that was a pain. I can't type when in VR so I needed someone to listen to my voice and queue music. This started as a discord bot that played music, then morphed into what she is today. Her current capbilities include:

• Whisper voice to text transcription
• Piper text to speech synth
• Queue music into discord bot's queue
• Talk shit with you, respond to voice commands and give a little sass

Specs

• Model: Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-Q5_K_M
• Wrapper: KoboldCpp
• Host: Proxmox LXC, 10gb RAM, 120GB storage, 8 CPU cores, GPU passthrough for the 3060

She currently resides in my bot testing discord server, her nerfed (non AI) cousin Poubelle is now the music robot for my Crabdance discord server (friends only, sorry). I used gemini to help with a lot fo the coding, sue me. I came up with the ideas, it just helped me put them together.
