I would like to thank everyone for contributing. There are way too many approaches to try them all, but my further research led me to the following conclusion: I'm going to start with trying Windows XP on either VMWare Player or qe

That may work, but I need a way to install it first... nice idea though

by sandreas 3y ago
yeah the games are not popular enough, unfortunately.

Another interesting one... maybe I'll give it a shot if I fail with vmware player and windows xp

Yeah thank you... I already thought of buying an used old WinXP Notebook for 45 Bucks or so, but then I thought: If this thing breaks after a while I must invest another 45 bucks and so on... And I have so much stuff laying around, I would

Cool, that sounds interesting. I'll give it a try.

Yeah I know this, but this is mainly for Lucas Arts stuff and the games I would like to use don't run there. Anyway thank you.

I'm not a fan of Hyper-V... in the past I killed a whole system just by installing it as windows component. But maybe as a last resort :-) Thanks.

by sandreas 3y ago
Cool, thats something I could try.

Seems like WinXP in Qemu is the way... I would prefer a ready to use image, but I could also run this. Got an old licence here :-)

Sounds reasonable... maybe Windows XP will work on VMWare Player... that's something I could try. Thank you.

If you want an affordable, good sounding speaker that you can build yourself, you might wanna take a look at Tech Ingredients: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKIye4RZ-5k

You could try to perform a silence detection, if there is a silence after every song. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42507879/how-to-detect-t... ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -af silencedetect=n=-50dB:d=0.5 -f null

That is funny. For audio books I'm currently working on an `epub` command for `tone` which will be able to extract text from `epub` files, e.g.: tone epub --format="markdown" --extract-sentences --one-file-per-chapter out

by sandreas 3y ago
`ffmpeg` is great, but it needs improvements for some tags / formats (that is why I developed tone in the first place). Examples: - Duration detection is inaccurate - Tags `MovementName` and `MovementIndex` (for series) are not s

Author here, thanks for mentioning my project on hackernews. Let me know if I can help you with anything or answer questions :-)

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Unfortunately I'm too busy atm to put too much effort in, but there are some nice things coming up :-) I'm also sometimes working on `Tone Audio Player` ( https://github.com/sand

It's already possible, I'm working on the exact same thing. Take a look at https://www.thorsten-voice.de/en/motivation-vision-english/ . He is a german guy who is donating his voice to the community and p

There is also https://www.vorleser.net/ for german users. In case you want to take it a step further, you could convert the `mp3`s to `m4b` format (one file per audio book), which internally uses an `mp4` container aac code

I would suggest you to skip all these "cheap" solutions and get a used Dell T20 with a Xeon v3 and 16GB ECC Ram... it is about 100 bucks and way more powerful than any small solution, and 33watts idle power consumption with 2 10TB

No, I'm using this in my car just for a very short range (< 200mm)

Cool. For the others: You don't even need a transmitter to do some experiments, you can use just one IO Pin for this: https://nerdiy.de/en/raspberrypi-send-fm-signals-by-gpio-pin... Furthermore, you can use someth

I personally prefer to self host Proxmox with ZFS. It is ready for enterprise use and can be easily backed up via external drives. There is even a Raspberry Port ( https://github.com/pimox/pimox7 ), but I would never use
