Pebble

A German tech blogger running a Pebble smartwatch setup reports that Gravel, a Pebble app, now sends voice recordings over HTTPS to a personal server, where Faster Whisper transcribes them locally using the whisper-small model. The setup works without Google, OpenAI or other cloud providers, keeping voice data private and self-hosted.

A nature photographer shared images of pebbles on the Slovenian coast as part of the weekly 'sea Wednesday' tradition, in which photographers post seascapes each Wednesday. The post tagged Slovenia and the Adriatic shore, drawing a small wave of appreciative reactions from the nature photography community across Europe.
