In my tests this doesn't come close to the years old coqui/XTTS-v2. It has great voice cloning capabilities and creates rich speech with emotions with low latency. I tried out several local-TTS projects over the years but i'm somewhat confused that nothing seems to be able to match coqui despite the leaps that we see in other areas of AI. Can somebody with more knowledge in this field explain why that might be? Or am i completely missing something?

The photo is pretty interesting in that some whole panels are completely unscathed right next to ones that are literally covered in impact craters. Maybe they should selectively breed the surviving panels together to get a new generation of more resilient panels.
Only slightly tongue-in-cheek. It's very unlikely that the unscathed panels had no impacts at all right next to panels that had dozens of them. So the surviving panels must have just been meaningfully more robust than the others.
the more likely explanation seems to me that not all panels were hit by a sufficiently large hailstone to cause an initial break. once the structural integrity of a panel is broken, smaller stones can damage it further that wouldn't have otherwise..

62.5% was specifically to bring the default 16px to 10px, which meant now 1em = 10px, at least at the root. With that, you could easily size your entire layout in EMs and, yes, keep it readable:
.main {
width: 80em
}
.sidebar {
width: 20em;
}
.content {
width: 60em;
}
As far as i understand it's about `rem`, not `em` (which is relative to it's parent not the 62.5-normalized root element). And as long as you don't go all-in with absolute units (and loose all control over custom scaling on your site/app), you still need `rem`.

It's not quite the same. Firefox can change the default font size and Safari can set the minimum font size. If the rest of your layout has sizes set in pixels, then you will have 6 words in that "400px-wide container", whereas a "30em-wide container" would have fit that better.
In reality however no one cares about this anymore, at least since browsers have implemented full-page zoom and especially since responsive design became a thing, meaning that one should be able to zoom into a whole page and have it fit properly anyway.
So for me this is outdated information useful to about 3 users per website. Long gone are the days of 62.5% font size trick.
> Long gone are the days of 62.5% font size trick.
Isn't the 62.5% trick about making the code easier to write/understand/maintain? Or are you advocating for not using relative units at all? That might work for some use cases however it breaks if you need any kind of scaling feature within the site/app.

Half OT, but... I want to have a backup on another site, at an family member. Like the 3-2-1 rule, 3 copies, on 2 different medium and 1 off site.
For the off site backup, I want a cheap solution and was thinking of an rasberryPi with an connected usb-hdd and then the rPi connected to a family members wifi-router that I could connect to over the internet and do my backups to.
My question are: 1 - What solutions are there to make encrypted backups to a rasberryPi from windows? I don't want to encrypt all files with encrypted 7z files and transfer them (it is an mess), but just to have a solution so I can choose the unencrypted files and folders and then the software encrypts them on the fly and transfer them over to the rPi.
2 - The optimal solution would be to have the rPi usb-hdd mapped as an network drive or similar in explorer. But would that be possible with the first requirement that all files must be encrypted on the fly? 1 is more important than 2.
3 - I have read that a rPi not can handle a connected usb-hdd because it will take to much power than the rPi can deliver. Does there exist an dongle or something that you could connect one or two usb-hhd to the rPi and the dongle is connected to the powergrid and gives the usb-hdd the power they need and then the dongle is connected to the rPi but only transfer data? Or is there any other solutions?
Sorry for maybe stupid questions. But I have no clues here, what to search/look for or even if it is possible. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
i'm basically running that setup: rpi, external usb, encrypted backup.
- i'd recommend attaching an external 3,5 disk that comes with its own power supply, that way you don't have to worry about power, it's cheaper and you have more storage.
- For backup i am using borgbackup. it does encryption and deduplication. you can also backup several machines to the same repository if you want to. i'm using it for several use cases, it's rock solid, never had a problem.
- you can safely use borgbackup over ssh if you want to do remote backup. just forward the ssh port on your friends router and use dyndns if they don't have a static ip.
