Just dug out my old #PinebookPro. It's so far out of date it'll probably be faster to just backup the files and start it from scratch. It still has an old install of #Mycroft on it.

@omgubuntu I don't know why, but this reminded me about #Mycroft and how they have gone silent of late. It seemed like there was so much promise about it. Embedding it with a desktop would have been so nice - "hey Mycroft, turn off porch light" from your desktop or laptop would nice. Also, didn't @popey lend his voice to the project?

Yes.
Amazon had options.
1. To send everything that is said.
2. To send what follows directly after a passphrase.
And they've gone with spying 24/7 ?
(There is an open-source, non-spying smart speaker assistant - last I looked it was at the IT- hobbyist stage. #Mycroft. )

@grueproof I don't know how much attention you pay to #HomeAssistant, but last year was their "Year of the Voice". They added a significant amount of functionality that replicates what #Mycroft was doing. The one I've been super tempted by lately is this little guy:

Still obviously a Preview Edition (it's in the name after all), but looks pretty slick regardless. I've got other hardware running around the house that interfaces with HA, but not as smoothly.

@grueproof I guess that depends on what you mean by "replacement". For my #Mycroft Mark II I replaced the OS with Neon, which worked really well.

I also ran Mycroft directly on my PCs, but Neon isn't as good at that. I replaced those installations with ollama, which works fine-ish but like most LLMs is out of date on current information, but works for general questions.
Regarding hardware, I've been using a variety of different things, all tied to #HomeAssistant.

Still looking for a functional FOSS speech-driven #assistant that's not Alexa etc.
Seems there's much in development, but I'm not a developer. Tried Leon, but that needs additional code adding to it that I've no clue about.
I just want to verbally look up things and have them read back to me, and maybe integrate some home #automation if possible.
#Mycroft running on a R-Pi 4 was promising, but that seems to have folded...
Not doing very well so far. Anyone else?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and screenwriter Anna Waterhouse have collaborated on a series of books about Sherlock Holmes’ brother Mycroft. I’ve downloaded the first in the series and, as soon as I finish the last 30% of the book I’m currently reading I’ll be diving into it.
can hardly wait. big Sherlock fan here and always loved the stories with Mycroft in them.
I just reimaged my #Mycroft Mark 2 with the latest Neon AI because..... it's Friday and I wanted to?
My test bed Mycroft / OpenVoiceOS installation is coming alongnicely. It's frustrating that MycroftAI's excellent online portal for managing skills and settings disappeared with the demise of the company. But I'm encouraged by the onscreen developments OVOS has inherited from Mycroft II.
Golly, it's coming up on six years since "What are beans?"

@golemwire I'm not familiar with spd-say, but espeak absolutely would. I'll assume they both would. I'm just more familiar with piper. I played around a lot with the old #Mycroft assistant, both on dedicated hardware and running on my computer. It used Mimic for it's TTS. It's primary developer was Michael Hansen, who also developed Piper. It's also the engine that's built into my #HomeAssistant setup. And who doesn't love having Popey read your news to you?
Does anyone have a recent, stable image for PiCroft (the raspberry pi image of Mycroft assistant) the links are all dead on the Mycroft site.
Curious error installing #mycroft #ovos skills, several packages are seeking a json file, but using a bad line of code:
with open(f"{get_xdg_config_save_path()}/skills/{self.skill_id}/settings.json" "w") as f:
is clearly missing a comma, so Python dutifully seeks 'jsonw', but considering there are (so far) two skills that fail because of this, I'm puzzled as to where to look to fix and/or report the problem.
Continued thread
the mic checks using Chrome on https://onlinemictest.com - in the old #MyCroft there was a mic-test utility that I'm sure must be in this new kit somewhere!

My new puzzle is revisiting an old puzzle - just before they collapsed, I very nearly had #MyCroft in a useful form, but then it all fell apart and was feared lost.
But now there's an active fork: https://openvoiceos.github.io with a flashy GUI and looks very promising, except that #OVOS won't see my HP laptop microphone (UbuntuStudio audio is pipewire, so that could be an issue, but it should emulate ALSA or pulseaudio!)

#OKNabu, are there plans for a "Mycroft" wake word for on device wait word detection on the S3 Box 3? I've grown kinda attached to it over the years.
Algú de per aquí s'ha muntat un #Mycroft en una #RaspberryPi? Perquè la meva parella porta dies intentant-ho i no se'n surt... Una mica d'ajuda no ens aniria malament :)
