Imagine being so biased that you are completely blind to the facts.

What DDNS providers you guys recommend?

I'm new to self-hosting. All I did so far was install Ubuntu Server, enable SSH and tried setting up DuckDNS, which I could not set up automatic update of my IP following the documentation, neither updating manually through the website, which even though seems to be changed, when I ssh the domain, I get the initial IP ...

Any DNS provider is good if they offer an API that lets you use PUT to modify DNS records. You can make a small bash script and crontab it. I also used DuckDNS for a while, and it worked fine.

It will still happen, but it's not going to happen overnight, you know.

It has the Firefox extension "Wallabagger", open-source and all. You just have to create a token in Wallabag, link it, and then it works like a charm. Doesn't work exactly like OP wants though.

OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide - Ars Technica ( arstechnica.com )

Facing five lawsuits alleging wrongful deaths, OpenAI lobbed its first defense Tuesday, denying in a court filing that ChatGPT caused a teen’s suicide and instead arguing the teen violated terms that prohibit discussing suicide or self-harm with the chatbot. ...

That would imply that he wasn't suicidal before. If chatgpt didn't exist he would just use Google.

Pretty much everyone I know uses AI daily, so there definitely is demand for it. You're living in an information bubble and don't know how commonplace it truly is.

Any good idea to get HuggingFace TTS models to work in Firefox on Linux?

Does anyone have any experience with HuggingFace TTS models in Firefox? I know that there is a mobile application that allows you to change your default TTS engine to one of the models. I also know of an old method to get different, better-sounding TTS to work in Firefox. I think I was also able to get the Microsoft voices ...

Typo. Fixed now :)

They should also add support for Unified push. More apps need to embrace it! Currently there are no notifications at all.

It's just 2 programmers from what I'm aware. When you go to donate they say that the goal is 5000€/month, but they usually fall drastically short of that.

I bet that if they use the correct technologies (LIDAR and laser guidance systems), they would be a lot safer than regular drivers. Of course, computers make mistakes, but humans also don't have the best track record in terms of driving safety. You're technically not wrong though.

Looking for a one-time paid (non-subscription) TTS program for android

Acapella lets me just outright buy a voice and download it for offline use but the voices are somewhat dated now. I don't mind large on device library and I don't mind paying once, but I want it to sound good and I want it to work 100% offline (and privately). Also would like a male voice if possible, I know most people seem to ...

For me with the high models it takes like 20-30 second pauses and if the text is long enough then it just stops completely.

vurr OP ,

Found it! It's under the subscriptions tab.

Keeping a diary / journaling in Obsidian

Anyone keep diaries in Obsidian? How do you format the filenames/directories and the notes themselves? My current formatting for the filenames is "/Daily Notes/DD-MMMM-YYYY". Don't have many plugins right now, but I'm open to suggestions. It's kind of frustrating that the notes in the diary are not ordered in a good way, but ...

vurr OP ,

Thanks for the recommendation!

HBO is in good shape in terms of shows, but I absolutely think some merges will need to be made for the convenience of the end user. There are so many different streaming services that it makes it utterly impossible to watch anything without resorting to piracy. I'm hoping that the industry slowly rocks into place.

Been doing lots of reading and shopping for even more interesting books. Hung out with friends yesterday. Life is good and pretty chill right now.

What a shitty take. Imagine betting on something with a poor human rights record and countless privacy violation. America may have it's faults, but it will get ironed out like it always does. I'm hoping for everybody's sake that China doesn't become the new global superpower. America has the soft power thing down to the t at least.

As for the other claims you made, source?

In my humble opinion Bush kind of fucked America up, but that is fixable.

You're an actual moron if you truly believe that.

I know that it is completely typical for neurodivergent people to enjoy the dark, but it's quite the opposite for me for some reason. I need my room to be as bright as the sun (metaphorically speaking).

What OS is everyone running on their Fairphones?

In all of the posts I've seen here on Lemmy, it seems like Fairphones are the most frequently recommended phones; however, whenever people are asking for OS recommendations, GrapheneOS always seems to get the loudest endorsement. Since GrapheneOS doesn't run on Fairphones, I wanted to see what OS's people are actually running on ...

I tried CalyxOS, but couldn't get some apps I needed to work so I'm back on the default software. I'd recommend CalyxOS anyway though, but now that I read that they are on pause, you can maybe go with LineageOS.
