"Sadly" lol

(I dunno, I've never seen it but it just does not sound like compelling television to me)

Sounds about right. I dropped cable in 2010 or thereabouts so probably right around the time that shifted.

Not to be confused with MILF Island which was a fake show on "30 Rock" that was intended to be so over-the-top trashy no could assume it was real.

The worst part is when you do see something that seems like a legit history show, towards the end it's like "but what if it was aliens??"

Bamboozle me once, shame on you. Bamboozle me four or more times, shame on me.

I don't remember that one.

Is it this one? If so, that was before my time which might explain it.

Most definitely not lol. It was just the worst semi-recent example I could think of. Is that show even still on?

Yeah. Swamp Loggers was okay (at least interesting and sort-of fit the theme of the channel) but the rest definitely were a jarring shift to lazy reality shows.

Deadliest Catch was pretty fantastic, but I don't remember exactly when it came into the picture.

Not exactly the same thing, but back when TLC was still known as "The Learning Channel" they used to show surgeries and such and I'd be sitting there completely unfazed eating a big bowl of spaghetti or something.

This theory is making more and more sense. Which also implies there's no Who Tony Stark to make him the uber-stretchy pants.

Or maybe he's like the Hulk and turns back into a regular Who when he's in a better mood?

https://github.com/marytts/marytts

I've used MaryTTS semi-recently. It's older but works well enough for my cases. I have it running on a server (locally) and my endpoints make a call to it and playback the returned audio file.

On Android, I use SherpaTTS which has good voices, but I'm not aware of a desktop/Linux option. It mentions using voices from Coqui which you linked, so I would guess that would be the way to go for desktop.

Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.

The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS's media share to /media mostly for convenience since that's the main purpose of this box in my workshop.
