OP is also in the allegedly ultra rare camp of “successfully configured Jellyfin and lived to tell the tale.” Not what I’d expect of someone unable to configure Plex correctly. I’ve not set up a Plex server myself but my guess is it wasn’t clear that it was misconfigured - it did work previously, after all.

If they’re calling it remote streaming when you’re on the same (local) network, that’s not exactly intuitive. I’d say OP’s phrasing was fair.

I’d expect performance under the 5600X3D, which at https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks got a score of 2085. For reference:

• 9950X3D: 3410
• 9800X3D: 3344
• 9900X3D: 3339
• 7950X3D: 2928
• 7800X3D: 2725
• 5950X: 2211
• 5700X: 2147
• 5800X3D: 2117
• 5700X3D: 1924

Note that these results are aggregated from people with this hardware running Geekbench on their own machines and the rest of their hardware and config (including, for example, cooling, overclocking) isn’t controlled for, and as such is very likely to be different, which would impact results.

Is your goal to create things that can be published or used in a project, or to create audiobooks for yourself to listen to?

For voiceovers for text, I use Kokoro Fast API, which has a web frontend. The frontend is only compatible with Chromium browsers on desktop or Android, which sucks as my daily driver is Firefox and an iPhone (there are workarounds in the thread) but it supports voice mixing, speed changes, etc… It also has an issue where it keeps the models (about 3GB) in memory; I keep the CPU version loaded normally and swap to the GPU version if I need it to be faster. If you want something similar for Bark, check out Bark-GUI.

I’ve also dabbled a bit in some TTS features that have Comfy nodes, though at this point mostly just in terms of getting them set up. For my purposes thus far Kokoro has been fine (and I prefer the FastAPI project over the Comfy nodes for most of my uses), but I’ve found nodes for Kokoro, Dia, F5 TTS, Orpheus, and Zonos.

Autiobooks and audiblez both look promising. A few weeks ago, I used the Kokoro FastAPI web frontend to create an audiobook for an ebook I worked on that used entirely self-hosted AI generation for the outlining and prose. Audiblez, which I found about like two days after that, looks like it would have simplified that process substantially. Still, I’d personally like something more like an audiobook studio, where I can more easily swap voices back and forth, add emotions, play with speed on a more granular level, etc… I’m thinking about building something that contains that at some point myself, but it’ll be a minute - hopefully someone else will beat me there.

I posted a comment here a few weeks back on a similar topic. I’ve since used OpenReader-WebUI and like it, though that’s not for producing audiobooks, but for a read-along experience. Reproducing the comment below in case it’s helpful for you:

If you want to generate audiobooks using your own / a hosted TTS server, check out one of these options:

• OpenReader-WebUI - this has built-in read along capability and can be deployed as a PWA that can allow you to download the audiobooks to your phone so you can use them offline
• p0n1/epub to audiobook
• ebook2audiobook If you don’t have a decent GPU, Kokoro is a great option as it’s fast enough to run on CPU and still sounds very good. If you’re going to use Kokoro, Audiblez (posted by another commenter) looks like it makes that more of an all-in-one option. If you want something that you can use without an upfront building of the audiobook, of the above options, only OpenReader-WebUI supports that. RealtimeTTS is a library that handles that, but I don’t know if there are already any apps out there that integrate it. If you have the audiobook generation handled and just want to be able to follow along with text / switch between text and audio, check out https://storyteller-platform.gitlab.io/storyteller/

The witch turned the creep into a woman and the spell was complete by the time she flew away. Unfortunately, like many women, the creep was born with the body of a man (she’s AMAB). Maybe the witch could have changed her body, too, but that would have made things far too easy, given that the point of the curse was to teach her empathy.

SublimeText seems to have it. I don’t personally use it but it’s a pretty competent editor and it’s not in the feature table from the Wikipedia page someone else shared.

Sublime 3 was limited to folding by indentation; I’m not sure if that’s true for Sublime 4 as well, but the Markdown plugin docs have a note on folding and mention you can fold by section and heading levels.

Your comment wasn’t in a meta discussion; it was on a post where they were venting about people complaining about them having a women’s only space. There was certainly no indication that the regular community rules didn’t apply, nor any invitation for men to comment.

Commenting that it’s hostile for them to have a women’s only space might be ironic, but couldn’t possibly be good faith, in that context. And if the same mod banned you from multiple communities, then either it was out of line and you could appeal it, or it was warranted due to the perceived likelihood of you causing problems in those other communities and the perceived low likelihood of you contributing anything of value to them.

Even now, you’re acting like the mod(s) banned you because of her / their emotions. You don’t see how that’s misogynistic?

It makes logical sense for bad actors to be preemptively banned. Emotions have nothing to do with it.

Right now I have Ollama / Open-WebUI, Kokoro FastAPI, ComfyUI, Wan2GP, and FramePack Studio set up. I recently (as in yesterday) configured an API key middleware with Traefik and placed it in front of Ollama and Comfy, but currently nothing is using them yet.

I’ll probably try out Devstral with one of the agentic coding frameworks, like Void or Anon Kode. I may also try out one of the FOSS writing studios (like Plot Bunni) and connect my own Ollama instance. I could use NovelCrafter but paying a subscription fee to use my own server for the compute intensive part feels silly to me.

I tried to use Open Notebook (basically a replacement for NotebookLM) with Ollama and Kokoro, with Kokoro FastAPI as my OpenAI endpoint, but turns out it only supported, and required, text embeddings from OpenAI, so I couldn’t do that fully on my local. At some point, if they don’t fix that, I’m planning to either add support myself or set up some routes with Traefik where the ones OpenNotebook uses point to the service I want to use.

ETA: n8n is one of the services I plan to set up next, and I’ll likely end up integrating both Ollama and Comfy workflows into it.

We’re in c/showerthoughts. “What if my grandma was a bike?” would fit right in

Have you tried just setting the resolution to 1920x1080 or are you literally trying to run AAA games at 4K on a card that was targeting 1080p when it was released, 4 and a half years ago?

It’s the new hyped up version of “no-code” or low-code solutions, but with AI so you have more flexibility to footgun.

Not any lazier. Script kiddies didn’t write the code themselves, either.

I had never heard of this show before today but what you just described makes it sound cool as fuck, I’m gonna check it out now

You should try watching the live action series next - I bet you’d love it.

The one I grabbed to test was the ROG Azoth.

I also checked my Iris and Moonlander - both cap out at 6, but I believe I can update that to be higher with QMK or add a config key via Oryx on the Moonlander to turn it on.

Per this thread from 2009, the limit was conditional upon using a particular keyboard descriptor documented elsewhere in the spec, but keyboards are not required to use that descriptor.

I tested just now on one of my mechanical keyboards, on MacOS, connected via USB C, using the Online Key Rollover Test, and was able to get 44 keys registered at the same time.

They also had much higher distribution costs and a much smaller audience back then, so even if prices have gone down since the late 70s, profits haven’t.

Pac-Man was the best selling Atari 2600 game and it sold 8 million copies. Mario Kart on the Switch, by contrast, has sold over 60 million copies. A mere 1% of PC game sales are physical and a mere 16% of console game sales are physical.

You can run a NAS with any Linux distro - your limiting factor is having enough drive storage. You might want to consider something that’s great at using virtual machines (e.g., Proxmox) if you don’t like Docker, but I have almost everything I want running in Docker and haven’t needed to spin up a single virtual machine.

I think the better question than “Does the experience system sound like it has potential,” then, is “Does the overall concept / system have potential?”

My gut is probably, but it depends a lot more on what you’re willing to put into it and what you want out of it. What’s your metric for success? If it’s something you want to run yourself and to share online to have a few groups use it, then that’s a lot more achievable than being able to get a publishing deal, for example. And in-between, publishing on drivethrurpg or something similar, at a nominal cost (like $2-$5), would take more effort than the former and less than the latter; and the higher the cost and the higher the number of players you’d want, the higher the effort you need to put in (and a lot of that isn’t just in system building, but in art, community building, marketing, etc.).

From what you’ve shared, it sounds like an interesting system. I could especially see it working in an academy setting where grinding skills to be able to pass practical exams is one of the players’ goals. I also could see it working well by a loosely GMed play by post system, with the players self-enforcing (or possibly leveraging some tools built into the site to track resource pools, experience, rolling, etc.), though I haven’t played in a forum game myself, so I might be way off-base.

Did your system have classes or was it completely free-form in terms of gaining access to those skill trees?
