This works for me in Termux on Android. It produces 20-30s of silence, then starts playing the stream. There’s no way around those 20-30s probably, as the server limits the download speed for the stream.

If I convert my claude-code to pastafatianism, will it be able to cook spaghetti for me? Will it also pick up sauce recipes if I put them into the skills directory?

That’s why one should be using OSM.

DRM, game launchers and generally 3/4 of modern software overall are a security threat anyway.

That said, the best solution for all this problems is to never buy, pirate or play any DRMed crap. Let them choke on their greedy tech.

Thank you!

Very nice job!

A question: what are those wires? Single core? Which diameter are they?

Two absolute shits have found each other.

You could go even cheaper with something like this: https://arduinoyard.com/dfplayer-mini-with-esp32/

But here you start hitting a limitation that it won’t be a regular Linux machine anymore, but a microcontroller with its own set of capabilities and interfaces that you’d need to handle.

For example, in this configuration it would be able to play MP3 files from an SD card, but probably not the web streams (even direct ones) or something of that nature — for that you’d need a different setup, I guess.

Depends on which setup you’d like to go for.

Disassembly aside (no idea how Alexa looks like on the inside), you could go for something simplest: take a RPi 1B/2/3/4, plug in the 3.5mm jack into it and solder the other side directly to the speaker. This, in theory, should work out of the box and give you some decent sound (and probably even okayish volume).

If you want to go more elaborate, you might use some smaller/cheaper computer (e.g. RPi Zero 2W) + some tiny external DAC+amplifier. In this case you will have to ensure that the DAC is compatible with your computer, that the software is there and also handle power supply to both of them, and possibly also take care of the 50/60 Hz hum induced by it (depends on the power supply, the DAC and its wiring).

If it has good speaker in it, in the worst case you can just cut/throw away all the “smart” electronics out of it and place something like a RPi + an amplifier inside to have a mini media center.

RIP -> BIH (burn in hell)

He-he!

On device? While google services are present there? In this universe?

IDK Rick, seems like hype-driven something that will either cease to exist or leak all your data in like a half a year. At this point I’d better self-host.

Digg is still alive?!

None of the privacy-seeking people in their sane mind would use Instagram at all, being fair. But yes, it still sucks.

LMAO xD

Seems like a good reason for a fine :)

What are you guys getting from there? What kind of books/materials? Not to judge or spy on you (what a spy would say), but just genuinely curious.
