No no no. I gave them CULTURE! A wonderful work culture.
And security! Sure, not the security I decided I need for myself, and it’s only really present as long as they’re profitable to me, but security nonetheless.
After all, I had the idea and stuck my neck out to secure the financing, which is far more important than the actual daily labor that keeps things running.
We’re like a family, see.
Same, but we could get away with more at Grandmother’s house.
There was still a limit, but it was more forgiving, and we were always looking for it
Those are some good memories.
We were always fighting over whether him dying meant we had to start over 😂
Sometimes he’d just want to see me beat it
*Edit: Oh yeah, he could steal lives! Sometimes we’d agree on how many he should leave me and very often he’d steal more anyway 🤣
When I get lonely, and I’m a-sure I’ve had enough She sends her comfort coming in from above We don’t need no letter at all
Woah look at Mr Popular over here who had friends to be player 2
Maybe keep a little critical information on a dead man’s switch and let that be known when revealing the rest.
Idk if actually wise, but it seems like you might want to keep some leverage for self protection
The vacuum sealer reminds me: a handheld electric pump.
Some are strong enough to blow up car tires. Especially if you have kids, they’re great for inflating water toys and balls and whatnot.
Second the warm white Christmas lights.
They can quickly make a depressing apartment feel like a warm home.
LAN tester.
I thought of it as fancy electrician / network equipment. Not anymore. Now it’s basic troubleshooting / procedure.
On a particularly frustrating switch installation, I picked one up for like $20 on Amazon, and it’s made me much less annoyed by network changes.
For context, I’m one of those people who hoards any electronic bits that might prove useful on a hobby project later, so lots of old patch cables and cable reels with unknown breaks, so maybe a LAN tester is really only worth it for others like that, but I’d recommend it to any level of tech enthusiast at least.
Do you take pictures with deli meat/cheese on his head?
Or does he have a sibling named whiskey?
Not being sure it applies to this scenario and too lazy to verify, sometimes the security scanners get updated and flag previously accepted code.
… tough to make sense of flagging a readme though, unless there’s sensitive info in it.
To satisfy the curiosity, just download Ollama. You can run your interactions locally, no feeding the demon and full privacy.
Set up a modelfile with system prompts for the kind of personality you want to create. Do some googling, may want to tweak settings to get response creativity just right. Higher parameter base models generally better and more hardware costly.
If you want pics, you can use StableDiffusion. I recommend using docker images because it’s really complicated and environment sensitive.
You can tie the two together with a little Python logic and have the core bot prompt the image generator at certain chat moments. Ironically, if you’re not comfortable writing code, you could just get VSCode and Gemini and spit out some pretty okay Python code without strong understanding.
There are also tools for local audio generation I’m less familiar with but am sure Google could get you there.
Maybe start with a basic Ollama setup and see if it feels like it’s working for you.
Locks the subject in a comatose state forced to watch an endlessly looping music video where Rick Astley makes increasingly more menacing eye contact with them as he says, “Never gonna give you up!”
