IT here, Plesse don’t involve us… We don’t want to to deal with this bs either

I’m with you here, i find it infuriating and i never ever had the situation where this was beneficial.

Like who tf actually creates a File.txt, file.txt AND FILE.TXT in one place and actually differentiates them with that.

And i hate it being case sensitive

Yeah… Their desktop CPUs are in all the news right now for crashing linke crazy

whisper is an STT application that stems from openAI afaik, but it’s open source at this point.

i wrote a little guide on how to install it on a server with an NVidia GPU and hw acceleration and integrate it into your homeassistant after. https://a.lemmy.dbzer0.com/lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5330316

it’s super fast with a GPU available and i use those little M5 ATOM Echo microphones for this.

Yup, 8GB card

Its my old one from the gaming PC after switching to AMD.

It now serves as my little AI hub and whisper server for home assistant

It’s available through ollama already. i am running the 8b model on my little server with it’s 3070 as of right now.

It’s really impressive for a 8b model

Optical Character Recognition

Making a program read a text in image form and make it computer-readable / searchable / selectable

You could optimize it though.

As said one comment above, check if it’s the same composition as before and don’t take a screenshot if it didn’t change. Make some rules to filter out video content so if you have a youtube video open it doesn’t take a screenshot every second just because the video is running.

Or you could actually integrate this with your window manager. Only take a screenshot if you move / resize / open / close a window. Make a small extension for browsers that tell it to make a screenshot if you scroll / close / open a page. Then you don’t have to make a screenshot and compare with the one before.

This wouldn’t be as thorough as just forcing screenshots all the time and you would probably not catch stuff like writing a text in libreoffice as you don’t change anything with the window. But it could be a resourceful way to do that.

And if for example no screenshot was taken for 1 minute because nothing called for that, you could just take one regardless. That way you have a minimum of one screenshot per minute or as often as window manager / browser calls for it.

Also, 1MB on full resolution. You could also downscale the images dramatically after you OCR them. So let’s say we shoot in full res, OCR and then downscale to 50%. Still enough so everything is human readable, combined with searchable OCR you’re down to 7,5GB for a whole month.

Absolutely feasable. Let’s say we’re up to 8GB to include the OCR text and additional metadata and just reserve 10GB on your system for that to make double sure.

Now you have 10GB to track your whole 3440x1440 display.

Are you on 16k resolution or something?

When i take a screenshot of my 3440x1440 display it’s 1MB big. I mean this doesn’t change the issue in its core but dramatically downsizes it

So barely enough to let a 5090 run in idle on your desktop

Playing The Thaumaturge right now and immediately recognized them from that :D

this is so blessed
