Out of curiosity I’ve let it rate Low<-Tech Magazine, a website run on an ARM SBC powered exclusively with off-grid solar power, and that only achieves 87% / A.

Typst

You can use their online web-editor (similar to OverLeaf for LaTeX) or download the open-source engine and run it locally (there are extensions available for many text editors).

Compared to LaTeX I find it much more comfortable to work with. It comes with sane, modern defaults and doesn’t need any plugins just to generate a (localized) bibliography or include links.

Since Typst is very young compared to LaTeX I’m sure that there are numerous docs / workflows that can’t be reproduced at the moment but if you don’t need some special feature I’d recommend giving it a shot.

The development of Piper is being driven by the Home Assistant Project. That probably makes it one of the larger OSS TTS projects. Hope may not be lost yet ;)

Seeing these little IT gems all over Lemmy always makes me smirk :)

Cool to see support for the QOI format in a popular software package.

Might not fit into your plans but if you run Proxmox you can easily backup to an offsite computer (or VM) running Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).

From their website:

By supporting incremental, fully deduplicated backups, Proxmox Backup Server significantly reduces network load and saves valuable storage space. With strong encryption and methods of ensuring data integrity, you can feel safe when backing up data, even to targets which are not fully trusted.

I agree with the other answer suggesting to keep the mixer. Maybe look into a higher grade cables if the interference is induced into the analog cables (it could also come from the sound card, cables won’t help with that). That way you could get rid of the optical to analog conversion.

Just as an other option I wanted to mention Deej though. You’d likely need two deej controllers but they could be built into the same box.
