Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm starting to develop arthritis in my fingers, which makes typing an interesting challenge.

I'm wondering, what is the best self-hosted solution for speech-to-text generally? Dragon dictate use to be the thing, but is there anything open source, self-hostable that's superseded it?

I would love to be able to have something that I can speak into that can interact with pretty much any app, be that notepad++, or my web browser when I'm entering stuff or even when I'm creating this Lemmy post (which I actually made using futo voice on my phone).

Windows and/or Linux ideally.

Any leads? Getting old sucks.

I feel like the guys in that Scottish sketch show in the voice activated elevator.

Just to say, that is a hilarious sketch. ELEVEN!

You need to try an American accent.

I would say that 95% of the comedy I enjoy is not on American TV but 'overseas' humor. There's just something that resonates with me. I grew up very multi-culturally, living all over the world as a young lad. I feel like I don't even belong in America. I'm not even fond of American sports. (gasp!)
