Revisiting Voice Cloning with GPT-SoVITS and so on

Forewords My last article on voice cloning is more than a year ago, and here we are again for adopting some latest advancement. Refering to some Chinese source such as this blog and this video, I was attempting to adopt new tools for my audio book service, such as CosyVoice, F5-TTS, GPT-SoVITS, and fish-speech.

Dealing with the Enshittification of ProtonVPN's Free Plan (WireGuard+NextDNS)

This post is originally composed on 2024-11-28. I’m updating it for combining NextDNS, since I have started using a new freemium app with nasty ADs in it. ProtonVPN’s free plan doesn’t allow me to configure AD blocking DNS, especially with their official app. But with WireGuard app, this can be trivial. Thank to the original guide on reddit, the newly added part is in the end of this article. As a early adopter of Protonmail, I use their later coming VPN product as well, regularly yet lightly.

Self-hosting Local LLMs (DeepSeek-R1) Easily with Harbor (Ollama+Open-WebUI+SearXNG)

Lately, there is a need of private chatbot service as a complete alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. So, I decide to implement one at home and make it accessible to everyone in my household alongside with my network printer and NAS (OpenMediaVault).

There was no open-source model that’s strong enough in multilingual tasks comparing to proprietary ones (GPT/Claude). ...
