Or leave feedback on the Feedback page if you want to ask a general question.
I use Disqus for comments, you might need to clear your cookies at this site if Disqus fails to load properly.
UPD: Also, I'm saving a lot of data for each HTTP request to get a list of the most common URLs and POST\GET arguments.
It's interesting to see some "smartass" XSS scripts targeting WordPress admin or plugins.
Soon I'll create a view at this site with the TOP list of such kinds of requests.
Interestingly I've updated this module to save just visits counters to be able to see visitors without logging into Google Analytics. I can't use that regularly, because my Pi-Hole cuts it. So, as soon as I manage to add a better sorting in this module, I'll show you this …
Read...Raspberry 5 test-to-speech using Piper
How to make your Raspberry 5 talking with python lib Piper?
I wanted to make my Raspberry tell me about power outages and air alerts near my location.
The setup is pretty simple and described ar the repo:
I didn't want to waste my time making yet another Python venv and that's why I've chosen a simple binary mode.
Setup
Now about the setup:
- Raspberry 5.
- USB sound card with 3.5 jack.
- USB-powered speaker with a 3.5 jack.
Sound
CMD to change the volume programmatically:
amixer set Master 80% >> /dev/nullSound devices and controls
You may have a problem with playing generated WAV files and making voice directly. So you need to choose devices for a different output.
To list devices run:
# List devices
aplay -L
# I only have USB card:
hw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
Hardware device with all software conversions
sysdefault:CARD=Audio

Installing NUT - Network Ups Tool
Install and use Network Ups Tool - an open source Uninterruptible Power Supply software
- UPS with connected devices:
- LG TV
- Soundbar
- NUC as a media centre (with NUT monitor for Windows)
- RPi5 as brain unit with NUT, Pi-Hole and DHCP.
- TP-Link Router.
In case of a power-loss event, PRi will notify me via email, NUC will power off on its own, TV can be powered off manually.
Powered-off TV and soundbar are neglectable in total power usage on battery, so I have about 1,5 to 2 hours of running Raspberry 5 and TP-Link to keep my internet on.
