  For #ISACACommunITyDay, the Portland chapter made birthday kits and then delivered these to local pantries, schools, and food banks. The kit contains cake mix, frosting, and sprinkles to make the cake. Two birthday cards, a streamer, room decorations, part balloons, and a tablecloth are also all included. #PDX #ISACAPortlandOregonChapter

  @ppappas@mastodon.social that's a really interesting picture. Are you super-imposing the photo onto a watercolor or drawing of some sort?

  @westhisup@gamepad.club take a look at the compatibility pages on the Synology and Home assistant sites. Those models would, by necessity, be able to send the stream to a local system. I think the protocol is RTSP? (Not quite sure, but there are a couple different mechanisms cameras use, one even being FTP!)

  I know some people aren't going to like this and either respond negatively or block, which is fine. I debated posting these, which are really notes turned into posts about the month I spent diving into agentic frameworks or multi-agent harnesses or 10xtown or whatever people are calling it this week in order to really understand what a lot of people are spending a lot of time in. There were successes, there were frustrations, but all in all, it was interesting, and all with the idea of m...

  Continuing with the AI assistant project, we add a key information source: If you’ve never used it, Zotero (https://www.zotero.org) is an awesome little research assistant, allowing you to capture reference material and full bibliographic information. A new plugin has been released adding MCP server support so you can easily incorporate all that painstakingly-collected information into workflows. Check the quick overview: https://the15thstandard.com/blog/use-generative-ai-with-your-zotero-docu...

  From my pi-hole, here is some interesting trend. On the top, red means blocked, and from the hours of 4-7a, there's an 83% averaged of DNS queries blocked.

  Why settle for one AI model when you can build a specialized army? In this project, I've been testing hybrid setups in my personal AI assistant setup in order to balance local privacy with cloud power. With the advent of the latest capable open models, It is a great way to optimize cost and performance. See my full hybrid configuration here: https://the15thstandard.com/blog/mixture-of-models-experiments-and-results/ Are you team local-only or hybrid? #AI  #LLM&a...

  Defenders think in lists, but attackers think in graphs. I’ve brought that power to my Human 3.0 project by building a Substrate skill for PAI. It turns raw info into a connected web of insights automatically.
