Lies, deception!

There are actually 2 processors in the devices. 1 that constantly listens for a keyword, Al la, Alexa, Hey Google. When it hears it it quickly spins up another "computer" that then sends your voice back and forth to the servers for processing and response. It's part of the reason that the listen word isn't easily customized.

what's the asshole mitigation plan?

I don't have it set to private because when I tried that before it seems to break federation entirely. I do however have to approve anyone who wants to join. At this point I'd probably allow my close friends to join if they wanted, but that's about it.

Mostly because I am nearly 100% positive I will either lose my ZFS array, try to move the server to different hardware and bork psql, or what have you...

My homelab is mostly duck tape and bubblegum.

Oh this is interesting. Yours is shortened too.

I host my own instance and it's just me (because I'm so unlikable I can't even get my 2 FRIENDS to join my instance. I digress)

I wonder if there's some setting or ENV variable somewhere on the instance to change that.
