Cool idea, man. Never heard of the Kokoro model, how's its English performance?
thank you! it's actually unbelievably good. check out the demo audio files here: https://github.com/nazdridoy/kokoro-tts?tab=readme-ov-file#d...

Chapter (https://jordanful.github.io/chapter/) - a self-hosted ebook reader (server/client) that uses a local TTS AI model for narration. Progress is stored server side, so you can switch from reading to listening anytime.

My favorite genre of post in r/homelab and r/selfhosted this past year has been "I used AI to set all this stuff up and something broke so I asked AI to fix it and now all my data is gone."
There are so many NAS + Curated App Catalog distros out there that make self-hosting trivial without needing to Vibe SysAdmin.
I keep hearing this, and asking for examples, and there aren't really any.

What are you actually learning?
PSA: OP is a CEO of an AI company
who cares if I'm the CEO of an AI company? I didn't mention anything related to my company once in the post.

Was this article written entirely by Claude for the most part? It definitely reads like it was.
No

I find LLMs remove all the fun for me. When I build my homelab, I want the satisfaction of knowing that I did it. And the learning gains that only come from doing it manually. I don't mind using an LLM to shortcut areas that are just pure pain with no reward, but I abstain from using it as much as possible. It gives you the illusion that you've accomplished something.
yeah. I wrote a little about that here: https://fulghum.io/fun2
