This should work out of the box with Magic DNS (part of tailscale features). If machine A is named larrys-laptop and is running a service on :8080, then from sandras-laptop just navigate to http://larrys-laptop:8080 and it should work, provided both machines are on the same tailnet.
With plan mode, I would hope there's an approval step.
With Swarm mode, it seems there's a new option for an entire team of agents to be working in the wrong direction before they check back in to let you know how many credits they've burned by misinterpreting what you wanted.
Home Assistant have a fully local voice assistant experience that's very pluggable and customisable. I believe it uses a fast whisper model for STT and piper for TTS.
You can run it on a raspberry pi (or ideally an N100+), and for the microphone/speaker part, you can make your own or buy their off the shelf voice hardware, which works really well.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to figure out how to make their hardware to work without a HA installation. I'd really love to do that, if anyone has any info on how their protocol works, please do tell.
I looked at their Wyoming docs online but couldn't really see how to even let it find the server, and the ESPhome firmware it runs offered similarly few hints.
Great article! I think a paragraph on your backup strategy would make it even more complete and compelling, particularly given you put your passwords and photos in there.
You can self-host Pocket ID (or another OIDC auth service) on a tiny $1/mo box and use that as your identity provider for Tailscale. Here's a video explaining how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPUkAm7yDlU
I've been looking for a solution like this for years. I briefly had an iOS shortcut on my Apple Watch working, but an OS update broke it. Now I'm on Android and I don't even know what I'd use for it. And it's exactly for these random thoughts and reminders that otherwise nag me or I forget them. David Allen (GTD) will love this too.
My only wish is that I hope it preserves the audio file, in case the transcription is wrong, so you don't lose the thought. Google Keep does this well and it's a life saver sometimes, when the transcription comes through as "Eat the cat" or something ridiculous.
