Start by learning docker, you don’t have to selfhost anything yet, just learn to run a container, specially to run automated stuff. Then learn to build the images and run docker compose.

Also you could start checking any form or infrastructure as code. I usually hear about ansible and nixos.
This helps having a way to redeploy your services in any hardware easily.

Does it apply it to all feeds? Or can it detect what feeds are actually Youtube ones?

IIRC they mentioned is next to impossible without actually processing the video and guessing when then ad stops on your client (since the ads will change per user, so it can’t be done on a server for all users)

Yes, most podcasts are hosted outside of your podcast player and distributed via RSS (even if this is Spotify which already hosts music).
So when a service has the podcast it means it lists the response from the RSS feed, but usually they just copy the text data, including the URL where the actual audio is stored.
This audio is served by whatever other service the creator of the podcast uses, which means you’re a free user to that service even if you pay for Spotify, which means the wonderful benefit of ads.

And these are ads you can’t block since they’re included in the audio stream (yay! /s).
Podverse (the player I use) mentions this as an issue when creating clips of the podcasts because they can’t know how much the timestamp has been offset by those ads, so your clip probably only sounds good to you.

I could even go further into saying: always test every change you make, do not assume the change has been made because you updated a file.

I use rclone and duplicati depending on the needs of the backup.

For long term I use duplicati, it has a GUI and you can upload it to several places (mines are spread between e2 and drive).
You configure the backend, password for encryption, schedule, and version retention.

rclone, with the crypt submodule, you use it to mount your backups as am external drive, so you need to manually handle the actual copy of the data into it, plus versioning and retention.

I can’t give you the technical explanation, but it works.
My Caddyfile only something like this

@forgejo host forgejo.pe1uca
handle @forgejo {
	reverse_proxy :8000
}

and everything else has worked properly cloning via ssh with git@forgejo.pe1uca:pe1uca/my_repo.git

My guess is git only needs the host to resolve the IP and then connects to the port directly.

I’m not saying to delete, I’m saying for the file system to save space by something similar to deduping.
If I understand correctly, deduping works by using the same data blocks for similar files, so there’s no actual data loss.

Well, seems they already had the vaping sensors implemented and they’re just announcing the notifications implementation… How hard is to just build am android app that displays a list and a popup?

NFC payments with Google wallet, in theory if your bank provides the service in their app, you could still use this kind of payment, haven’t tried it tho.
Also I only found a developer for which their games don’t work, it’s the developer of guardian tales.

Aside from that, with sandboxed play services there hasn’t been any difference since I migrated to GOS.

Text to speech is what piper is doing.
What I’m looking for is called voice changer since I want to change a voice which already read something.

That’s exactly what I want: “the thing in the Darth Vader halloween masks” but for linux, preferably via CLI to ingest audio files and be able to configure it to change the voice as I want, not only Darth Vader.

I don’t want to manage piper voices, I can handle that directly in my file system as I only have a few.
The issue is none of the ones I’ve found are good for me, so what I need is something to change the voice once it has been generated by piper.

I haven’t completely looked into creating a model for piper, but just having to deal with a dataset is not something I look forward to, like gathering the data and all of what this implies.

So, I’m thinking it’s easier to take an existing model and make adjustments to fit a bit better on what I would like to hear constantly.

Check the most upvoted answer and then look into tubearchivist which can take your yt-dpl parameters and URLs to download the videos plus process them to have a better index of them.

Well, it’s a bit of a pipeline, I use a custom project to have an API to be able to send files or urls to summarize videos.
With yt-dlp I can get the video and transcribe it with fast whisper (https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper), then the transcription is sent to the LLM to actually make the summary.

I’ve been meaning to publish the code, but it’s embedded in a personal project, so I need to take the time to isolate it '^_^

I’ve used it to summarize long articles, news posts, or videos when the title/thumbnail looks interesting but I’m not sure if it’s worth the 10+ minutes to read/watch.
There are other solutions, like a dedicated summarizer, but I’ve investigated into them and they only extract exact quotes from the original text, an LLM can also paraphrase making the summary a bit more informative IMO.
(For example, one article mentioned a quote from an expert talking about a company, the summarizer only extracted the quote and the flow of the summary made me believe the company said it, but the LLM properly stated the quote came from the expert)

This project https://github.com/goniszewski/grimoire has in it’s road map a way to connect to an AI to summarize the bookmarks you make and generate at 3 tags.
I’ve seen the code, I don’t remember what the exact status of the integration.

Also I have a few models dedicated for coding, so I’ve also asked a few pieces of code and configurations to just get started on a project, nothing too complicated.

You have to configure the space bar to allow a long-press to give you a popup menu to select another language. Currently there’s no way to have multiple languages with the same layout, it’s annoying but you can work with it.

Well, it’s just a TS project with a very simple Dockerrile, you can just bun install && bun run prod.
The rest of the dependencies aren’t included in the docker image.

My unpopular opinion is I like ads, some are well thought, funny, and memorable.
Ads in videogames which allow you to have a small boost are also amazing, I don’t have to spend money, just leave my phone for 30~60 seconds and I get a bit of premium currency while supporting the devs.

The annoying/worrisome part is all the tracking the ads have, and the ones which are very invasive which take half of the screen.
If we could go back to TV ads where everyone watches the ads without individual targeting, and with current technology to protect against hacking, and getting them in sensible places to not hide the content I would place and exception in my ublock and pihole for them.

In that case I’d recommen you use immich-go to upload them and still backup only immich instead of your original folder, since if something happens to your immich library you’d have to manually recreate it because immich doesn’t update its db from the file system.
There was a discussion in github about worries of data being compressed in immich, but it was clarified the uploaded files are saved as they are and only copies are modified, so you can safely backup its library.

I’m not familiar with RAID, but yeah, I’ve also read its mostly about up time.

I’d also recommend you look at restic and duplocati.
Both are backup tools, restic is a CLI and duplocati is a service with an ui.
So if you want to create the crons go for restic.
Tho if you want to be able to read your backups manually maybe check how the data is stored, because I’m using duplicati and it saves it in files that need to be read by duplicati, I’m not sure if I could go and easily open them unlike the data copied with rsync.
