TBF, you can read just about anything in Walken’s voice and it sounds like a disinterested threat lol.

These ah, boots, are made for Walken
And that’s just what they’ll do because
Some day…these boots…
Are gonna walk all over you.

(Does a little dance because it’s Christopher Walken and he dances in every movie he’s in. Look it up.)

I got the other one once someone explained it to me, lol. I just didn’t make the Macy Gray connection at first.

Ah, yeah. That makes more sense. I’m right on the line between Gen X and Millennial so my mind went to the Nancy Sinatra song

(Hoping I get the joke as an old Millennial)

So, those boots, in fact, aren’t made for walking?

Shame me 4 times? Shame on you for picking on a vulnerable man.

😂

If you stop hearing from me, that’s exactly what happened; look for that van.

Them’s the fanciest lookin’ Funyuns I ever did saw, I tell ya whut

I can see that. Kinda like only enjoying the first 1/3 of each season of American Idol.

“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.

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.

Oh, boy, that brings back memories of being a teenager in the early 90s. Grandpa gifted me his old CB, got it setup and tuned in, and immediately turned it off.

It’s just that back then, those people weren’t glamorized with fancy titles like “podcaster” or “influencer”. They were just garden variety cranks everyone knew to just ignore.

Truth.

And given all that’s happened between the original run of KoTH and the present, I found Dale a lot less charming in the reboot.
