@[email protected] 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 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.

das tut mir leid. Das Rad hat mal 1000€ gekostet -> fahrrad-xxl.de/raleigh-rushhour-1-0-m000052115 aber selbst die Händler werden sowas für das Geld nicht los. Also lass uns mal real bleiben: das war gebraucht und hätte im EK maximal 499€ kosten dürfen so hässlich wie das ist. wenn OP jetzt seine Versicherung anschreibt, kriegt er sicher genug sich was weniger hässliches anzuschaffen.

schwarzes fahrrad und north face jacke sind durch nur eine metapher für eine geisteskrankheit.

das ist wahr, aber beantwortet die frage nicht. ich glaube der radfahrer ist jetzt besser dran.

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