@ikidd@lemmy.world pointed me to piperTTS and i ended up with a python virtual enviroment, pip install piper-tts and de_DE-thorsten-high.onnx+json to be able to run echo "{{ $json.state}}" | piper -m ./de_DE-thorsten-high.onnx -f voice.wav && aplay voice.wav

and indeed that sounds much better than pico and espeak

thanks

my use case is that n8n sshs into a remote machine with low specs and a connected speaker to read out information sent from n8n so i can do stuff like: pico2wave -l de-DE -w /tmp/warn.wav "Es ist {{ $json.Hour }} Uhr." && aplay /tmp/warn.wav And as you might have guess by now german language would be appreciated. I’m not going to run any additional docker containers for voice generation or invoke remote services. also the speaker is as dirt cheap as the rest of the setup so any output from espeak was basically killing my eardrums.

while borgbackup is superior I’d like to hear your thoughts on that whole restic thing, e.g. backrest.

i am using https://freedns.afraid.org/ for over a decade now and problems occured less than 5 times over that period. all others i ever tried were worse over time.

in time before the release of “Anno 117” but too early for jokes in this imbecile community.

they are westerners…so sure they get their own title. but mali, pfff…thats a DLC. maybe posdts need to be shittier for this sub.

yes. :-(

true. but man it was late so like at the worst time… just hate it so much when that happens.

borking your system using a terminal is just a right of passage

I’ll borrow that mate!

apk del --purge $(apk info -R | awk ‘{print $1}’)

(1/243) Purging alpine-base (3.16.9-r0)

(2/243) Purging alpine-baselayout (3.2.0-r23)

(3/243) Purging alpine-baselayout-data (3.2.0-r23)

(4/243) Purging apk-tools (2.12.9-r3)

…

it took me that time to restore the system …obviously not being able to boot it anymore. i feel deeply ashamed.

it was late. i “thought” i might free up space inside that alpine lxc. i wasnt. i just like a moran wiped all the apps. then went to bed. i cant even recall what i thought would prevent this from destroying everything. at least it wasnt a closed OS…that would have cost me 51yrs.

LOL.

If it was only about competence, I think throwing dice might yield better results than what many politicians are doing.

that you and nUmbErS? that is called being disconnected with the world. maybe 4chan convinced you to love pervy chinese regime but “AFK” is where those cars actually drive. should check it out some time.

this misinformation you are talking about it what i am talking about! yeah. finally. ofcourse the numbers are MUCH higher. coercion or killing of others is legit for motorists and the governments that need the industry.

i am sure china is always and will always be among the worst of the worst. one of the oldest countries and still tourture,regime government and imbecile citizens.

But you understand that “je Einwohner” means shit with that density of cars? cant have a car crash when you ride a donkey. per car would make much more sense but that’s the least the regime would care about which is why say 50k ppl died. i guess from how much their culture sucks it is 500k per year. :-)

i mean from what i read there is only one country with more ppl die in traffic which is india https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Länder_nach_Verkehrstoten but good they have a few trains for 1 billion ppl. sure thats going to help. LOL.

show me. what is connect? printmagazine connect.de?

hat was constructive and friendly, not… this

ok centrist, do I understand correctly that in your world a rant is not supposed to be public? for the reason? not that I am saying dictators use your argument - but they might light your perspective. where do you think users should be allowed to rant? i mean nobody has been personally attacked and yet in this echochamber not a single reply was able to not mention this nothingburger of an argument. if one wants curated centrists views there is still meta, right. you tell me, where it is legit to rant in public.

Is Thunderbird donating huge amounts of money to the opensource they use? last time i checked they didnt. just like moz. remember heartbleed?

I expect the plugins to be free…ofcourse…just like TB expects the devs to upload them for free. Or what do you mean? Havent they been selling out enough when MOZ gave our data to google?

Please learn to control your memories. :-)
