[2709.00 --> 2713.72] He says, also, once they're on the path, you know, the show could help nudge them to Matrix one day.
[2714.18 --> 2716.68] I'm glad you have a couple of Matrix room for the self-hosted show.
[2716.76 --> 2719.26] Maybe encourage people to engage and pay attention over there.
[2719.38 --> 2720.54] Hey, I'm paying attention over there.
[2720.96 --> 2723.52] He says, too bad there isn't a bridge good enough to bring them together.
[2723.62 --> 2724.26] It's a shame.
[2725.00 --> 2725.96] But that is the way.
[2726.52 --> 2727.28] Thanks, Lurksalot.
[2727.84 --> 2728.48] Yeah, thank you.
[2728.66 --> 2732.96] And I think it's important, you know, that we talk about this stuff.
[2732.96 --> 2742.90] Because there's always a prevailing wind in tech that for one company to win or one standard to win, all the others have to lose.
[2743.00 --> 2748.52] And I think it goes back to a Steve Jobs quote originally, I think, that I'm referencing here.
[2748.62 --> 2754.04] That there's this idea that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose.
[2754.56 --> 2755.86] And it's just not true.
[2756.16 --> 2758.04] And I think the same is true of Discord and Matrix.
[2758.04 --> 2758.48] Yes.
[2759.22 --> 2762.10] And I think this type of debate, should I host it myself?
[2762.20 --> 2763.68] Should I just use the dang service?
[2764.02 --> 2765.30] What are the pros and cons?
[2765.84 --> 2769.04] I think that's something the audience probably struggles with quite a bit.
[2769.54 --> 2773.98] I'd say it's probably the biggest part of self-hosting is deciding, is it worth my time or not?
[2774.74 --> 2777.62] Fun Deck Hermit boosted him with 2,000 sats.
[2778.04 --> 2783.48] He says there is a podcast called The Amp Hour that's located in Raleigh with a host named Chris.
[2783.48 --> 2788.66] And he says maybe there'd be some event organization that could happen sometime.
[2788.94 --> 2789.98] And who knows, man?
[2790.04 --> 2791.60] There is a good community in Raleigh.
[2791.66 --> 2792.98] That could be a thing that happens.
[2793.68 --> 2794.44] I like the name, too.
[2794.56 --> 2795.42] Raleigh IoT.
[2795.72 --> 2795.98] Riot.
[2796.22 --> 2796.92] That's a fun one.
[2797.36 --> 2800.58] He came in with another double boost, Fun Deck Hermit did.
[2800.64 --> 2801.72] Another elite set of sats.
[2802.32 --> 2806.52] He says not only does the authentic proxy application adhere to the specific protocol,
[2806.94 --> 2811.48] it can also form a protective layer around dumb applications like PupCloud or Jacket.
[2811.48 --> 2811.92] Hmm.
[2813.12 --> 2815.92] It has an internal built-in proxy, but that is optional.
[2816.48 --> 2823.74] We had that feedback from a few folks, actually, that not only can Authentic be the authentication provider,
[2823.88 --> 2827.88] but it can also do the same job as Orphalia is only able to do as well.
[2827.94 --> 2829.22] So you end up with the best of both worlds.
[2829.88 --> 2834.02] So I suspect that's just bumped up my list of should try soon.
[2834.44 --> 2834.86] Agreed.
[2835.36 --> 2839.56] SUCD boosted in with a baby row of ducks, 222 sats.
[2839.56 --> 2843.10] Because I use the software called FlightAware on the Raspberry Pi.
[2844.08 --> 2849.00] And you can order it as a complete kit, ready to go.
[2849.26 --> 2851.42] So it's $120, basically.
[2851.84 --> 2853.82] But it comes with the transponder.
[2853.98 --> 2858.28] It comes with the Pi Zero, the power supply, the indoor antenna with a magnetic base,
[2858.64 --> 2863.76] all the cables you need, the SD card, everything to just have your own FlightAware set up.
[2863.76 --> 2868.70] That could be genuinely a cost-effective way to get hold of a Raspberry Pi in 2022.
[2868.94 --> 2870.46] I was going to say that.
[2871.46 --> 2873.48] All right.
[2873.62 --> 2877.30] Bronzewing boosted in with Elite Set of Sats, 1,337.
[2878.30 --> 2879.72] Feeling my pain, Alex.
[2879.96 --> 2883.24] Says my HomePods and Siri also seem to be way worse recently.
[2883.40 --> 2885.42] I used to be able to say, hey, you know who.
[2886.24 --> 2887.20] It's movie time.
[2887.42 --> 2888.78] Or open the middle garage door.
[2888.78 --> 2891.38] Now she usually takes at least a moment.
[2891.76 --> 2892.56] It's very frustrating.
[2892.88 --> 2893.44] Gets slower.
[2894.14 --> 2896.04] Please keep us up to date if a fix shows up.
[2896.68 --> 2897.98] So a little update on that, Alex.
[2899.10 --> 2902.04] You know, one handy thing that I have is I kind of have an AB environment.
[2902.58 --> 2907.46] I noticed that the Siri tubes in the studio are all still working perfectly fine.
[2908.04 --> 2909.60] They still control all the devices.
[2909.74 --> 2911.24] They recognize everything I say.
[2911.40 --> 2913.66] It's only the Siri tubes in the RV.
[2913.66 --> 2919.82] And I kind of almost wonder if it's something to do with the Home Assistant HomeKit integration.
[2920.02 --> 2922.22] Like something's gone awry in that setup.
[2923.16 --> 2924.22] But I'm not sure yet.
[2924.68 --> 2929.32] I had a theory that it was to do with the profiles that these assistants build up on you over time.
[2929.42 --> 2931.98] So you know how they do the voice matching right at the beginning,
[2932.78 --> 2936.16] where your voice is just a generic voice amongst the herd.
[2936.24 --> 2940.26] But over the years, right, they'll hear you speak more and they'll learn more and more and more.
[2940.26 --> 2945.02] And that as those profiles are supposed to get better,
[2945.26 --> 2950.38] they actually get to a point of diminishing returns and then they just fall off a cliff the other way.
[2950.70 --> 2956.84] That's a theory because what I was reading is that if you go into your Google account or whatever
[2956.84 --> 2962.88] and delete the profiles they have on you, that people's experiences have improved dramatically.
[2963.04 --> 2968.08] And I just thought perhaps we could crowdsource some folks willing to test that out for us.
[2968.08 --> 2972.54] You know, this is a great example of the knobs that we don't get access to anymore
[2972.54 --> 2974.72] with all of these new services and devices.
[2974.72 --> 2976.56] They're just completely hidden from us.
[2976.76 --> 2981.18] And it's just they seem to get worse and worse and worse.
[2981.26 --> 2982.32] And there's nothing we can do.
[2982.52 --> 2985.76] And Bronze Wing says so, you know, he goes on to say, I'm looking at Mycroft.
[2986.12 --> 2989.88] It seems like maybe the right way to go, but $300 is a steep hardware entry.
[2990.02 --> 2994.38] I reserved one, but I just couldn't pull the trigger when it actually came time to buy it.
[2994.66 --> 2996.16] So I got two HomePod minis instead.
[2996.16 --> 3000.32] But the voice recognition space just seems really rough right now, I feel like.
[3000.80 --> 3002.16] I completely agree with Bronze and Wig.
[3002.20 --> 3006.42] And there is clearly a solution here that needs to be Home Assistant based, local based.
[3007.38 --> 3010.10] But the bar is high in terms of performance.
[3010.82 --> 3016.90] Let's just remember Christmas 1998 when Alex got his first family computer.
[3017.34 --> 3019.26] And we were all sat around this thing.
[3019.62 --> 3023.98] I think we got it from PC World and it was a Time Computers PC.
[3023.98 --> 3027.30] And we had via voice on this thing.
[3027.60 --> 3028.76] I don't know if you remember that program.
[3029.00 --> 3029.34] Of course I do.
[3029.54 --> 3032.18] You had to train this thing.
