not locked in at all at the moment which is frustrating, trying to sit with it on the daily so that i don’t do the usual of jumping back in expecting everything to work, a new environment, new hardware, restrictions effect flow, just needs the flow to be reconfigured. so that’s where i’m at atm.

also the Aqara 4MP Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi is very interesting to me, it’s not just a night vision capable camera but it’s got homekit secure video and will function as a thread border router, local detection and thread/zigbee – is it a device trying to do too much, better to have a standalone hub?

do people really dislike/lack of trust google when it comes to the “home” stuff? i’m looking at the google nest new doorbell (with ai) and google nest audio (3pack) for music in all rooms and the nest wifi pro for meshing the whole place, the router we have is great with 2.4, 5, 6 but yeah. dunno.

i’m going to be getting into zigbee and matter/thread and all things SMLIGHT SLZB-06MG24 over the coming months, i want MQTT to finally sink in and start getting good data/connected vibes around the house, with some decent backhaul this makes a lot possible, also a home service i can offer maybe?

it’s been a very busy week, more like this to come, we are in an area closer to things we like and it makes life easier, everything is currently going great, positioned to really move the needle going into next year. eternally thankful for my life and loved ones. keep stepping through.

well, design.ui.com/wizard is pretty sweet, i mean this ended up coming out just shy of $10k usd but still, a fully fledged system to grow with, homelab and all! i’m probably gonna end up going route10 thou in the short term as much cheaper and build on top of that with vlans, kinda stoked.

and just like that, thursday again, it’s been a blur and continues to be so for the rest of this month i think, at least month will be more settled i hope moving into the new year. keeps the body moving at least, embracing the changes there, better base camp and positioning myself to set a business

just thought how in a relatively near future how everything analog is going to have a revival moment, everything that’s digital has already been “harvested” even augmented/corrupted/remixed but things that sit on analog tape, vinyl records, relatively offline will be the blockchain version of media

wow this takes me back, remember “beveling” things with those ascii characters? i was obsessed after learning about .nfo files and how they were made. the early interfaces, still much love for them, must bring that back. today feels lighter, achievable, positive, upbeat and with stacks of potential.

when a brand that you have used for a decade that has never ever mentioned AI and now does so and uses the word “quantum” in the same sentence, you know it’s time to move to another brand that does not just cherry pick the latest SEO words to make their product seem relevant = lipstick on a pig ;)

it’s crazy how we go from a weird looking comet is bringing with it an alternative potential civilization to the most mundane thing by the time the world has taken a big old spin by the time we wake up from our slumber, everything seems more bizarre the older you get, maybe it’s a sync/skill issue.

the dark patterns of temu are crazy, the way it wants to give you this and that, discount that, flashy animation, come back, emails, popups, triggers, it’s really just a broadcasting tool for stuff they have stacked to the gills in warehouses all over the globe, kinda totally put me, no temu for me!
October 30, 2025 at 4:47 PM
take a moment to thank and consider all the IT teams that were working overtime and late shifts last night working to defend your networks globally, hopefully we fixed a few things, put in an order for more capacity and submitted a bunch of firmware requests for dodgy made vulnerable hardware! :)

client was expecting the watermark of the sora2 videos removed, just found this replicate.com/uglyrobot… which works great for the process and is $0.049 to run on Replicate, or 20 runs per $1 so an expense but nothing crazy, just add it into the overall project costs

after a day of messing with it i got the 100 across the board, something is wrong in the way that images are handled on upload with micro.blog – it makes them bigger than my source file source which slows things down at times when im mobile so i think i need to look about fixing that at some point.

wondering if it’s possible to take a 24hr window down to 24 minutes for my ai ugc gigs if i automate the n8n, sora2 pro api and some clever claude projects script writing, still gotta edit but might be possible to get close, maybe i should look at a real hour window instead that seems realistic.
October 28, 2025 at 7:09 PM
realizing what’s happening out there in ugc land for natural/real human interaction. brands are finding out that other companies have 10k of A/B testing videos with a mix of real and ai – that’s crushing them so the brands are forced to spend to at least have some really zoned in split testing.

i really enjoy the background flow of creating assets with ai. i can just use one tool to take my vision and pad that out with the context, shot list, give it flow to the next shot and i can work or do something else why it goes away to the cloud to do the rendering, next year local inference!
