  1. Anyone here had a #Mycroft? I have the Mark1 which was lovely. A very basic home assistant running on a #Raspi3 with a cute face and a very robotic voice. But it was great. You could load skills and ask it questions.

    A while ago, Mycroft AI shut down their servers and Mycroft fell silent. This was not good.

    However, the open source voice community has picked up the baton and I'm told that whilst it'll never be Mycroft again, there are ways to bring it back to life.

    There's nothing that is off the shelf in terms of install this and it'll work again, but I think that if I'm prepared to get my hands a bit dirty, then I should be able to install something that'll connect to my Home Assistant and hopefull light up Mycrofts eyes once again.

  6. Smaller than I expected. I've had it all of a couple minutes, but the speaker sounds good. Works almost instantly with #HomeAssistant. Initial wake word is Jarvis, which is fine. I generally prefer #Mycroft, but I believe that's configurable if you spend more than 10 minutes with the device.

  11. Meine gute Tat für heute:
    Ein openSearch für sflix.ps für Eure Browser.

    mycroftproject.com/install.htm

    Den Link besuchen, und dann das von Eurem Browser automatisch angebotene Suchwerkzeug mit dem grünen Plus anklicken. (Suchleiste muss sichtbar sein)

    Optional könnt ihr dann in euren Browsereinstellungen die neue Suchmaschine nach Belieben mit einem Kürzel versehen.

    Technisch ist das eine kleine XML-Datei, die Euer Browser in Eure Suchwerkzeugliste aufnimmt.

  15. Let’s say I have a Mycroft Mark I that I pulled out of a closet in 2026. What can I do with it? 🤔 (I also have a Home Assistant server and a couple of Home Assistant Voice Preview Editions…) #HomeAssistant #Mycroft #MycroftMarkI #MycroftAI

  33. Over the summer our 6 year old asked me to read to him from The Official Ubuntu Book (which I co-authored). On the page about the #Mycroft assistant device, I mentioned I had one. He was entranced.

    Well, yes, I do. A Mark 1. It's been in my closet since I got it. It might be too old to run #OVOS. Or the hardware is dodgy. Maybe I should consider #HiveMind 🤔 Hey, someone upgraded it to use a RPi4.

    What kind of hole am I digging for myself here?

  38. My eyes are so itchy and watery (presumably due to seasonal allergies) that I haven't been able to get much work done in the past few days. I'm writing this toot with my eyes closed most of the time. 😑

    Dear #accessibility hivemind, is there an easy way to have #Orca working with a natural-sounding text-to-speech voice, that is not eSpeak, but rather something like #MyCroft's Mimic3 ?

    What's the state of the art for screenreader TTS voices on #Linux and how do I get it in #Fedora?
