pihole recently started blocking ecs.office.com. Any idea what's triggering it?
  • "Windows 10 GAC (General Availability Channel) (i.e. Home, Pro) will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. So, if your hardware doesn't support Windows 11 then you might wanna use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 since its supported until Jan 13, 2032" from https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

  • That's how far i got too, maybe it's the ms-defender?? thingy since i recently uninstalled mwb-antivirus. What bothers me is the svchost. Updates are paused and every checkbox is off, this machine goes online very rarely.

    As the title says. I'm just curious what's triggering it. There is no MS Office installed. Happens as soon i start a windows10 pc and it's "packed" into svchost. Any idea?

    chatGPT login cycle

    are you guys able to login these days? I'm struck with the endless login cycle on firefox and librewolf. I verify that I'm human two or three times in a row, solve the puzzle then enter the credentials but i always end up at the login page again. I tried disable ublock and umatrix in FF but with no luck.

    Using deepfakes for better lip-sync in animations?

    I'm looking for better lipsync in my animations and before i dive deep into deepfakes i wanted to ask if anybody has experience in this? (I've seen Methuman doing nice facial animations but i don't have an iphone).

    do you know of a VPN provider that accepts ETH ?

    Since proton vpn doesn't accept ETH and my BTC is "locked" on coinbase i'm looking for an alternative to accept my ETH. (maybe the fee is lower with metamask).

    Coinbase wants a fee of 15$ for a payment of 45$...

    LLM for GTX1080 (8GB) for local use.

    Could someone recommend a LLM for the Nvidia GTX1080? I've used the gptq_model-4bit-128g of Luna AI from the Bloke and i get a response every 30s-60s and only 4-5 prompts before it starts to repeat or hallucinate.

    Alternative to Windows 10 Firewall Control (active firewall)

    I'm using the above software by Sphinx Software, it's an active firewall noticing me on every event. It's ok but it's lagging my OS. Do you have any alternative you could suggest? Maybe an open-source one? (the WFC10 is a paid one btw)

    elevenlabs - no more free speech synthesis with vpn

    After two months into my lip-sync animation i decided yesterday to do a voice over with elevenlabs... they won't let me anymore. I didn't use their service recently but i used to login with my google-account. Last week google deactivated my account too, saying i'm a bot and they wanted my phone. Maybe it's related. Anyone experienced this too?

    This is the message from 11labs:

    "Unusual activity detected. Free Tier usage disabled. If you are using proxy/VPN you might need to purchase a Paid Plan to not trigger our abuse detectors. Free Tier only works if users do not abuse it, for example by creating multiple free accounts. If we notice that many people try to abuse it, we will need to reconsider Free Tier altogether. Please play fair. Please purchase any Paid Subscription to continue. Update subscription?"

    status of local TTS / VC

    I'm trying to do voice cloning for animations/lip-syncs. By now fast-tts is doing the job but the results aren't always usable. Sometimes it switches gender, it's kinda metallic and it's very slow and i'm tired of python requirements... I've tried non-locals like Murf.ai, natural-reader and 11labs but the least disabled voice-cloning for free users and i just don't want to submit my credit-card details cause of their privacy policy. Now i'm left wondering if i just wait for the opensource community to enhance or to swallow the bitter pill and register with 11labs. Has anyone experience with TTS?
