gyuopy··on Ask HN: Best way to do TTS for long texts
Does the same thing happen if you split the text by individual sentences?

I wonder if a suitable workaround, until a root cause fix is discovered, may be to cut silences longer than a certain duration from your output, while processing several inputs in parallel so this doesn't risk halting the overall flow if there are several pauses in series.

I personally find Ovarit interesting reading in general. I don't consider it to be a "hate site", but rather, one of the very few places on the internet where women can be openly critical of the ideology of gender identity, particularly with regards to the legal and social implications, from a feminist perspective.

Ovarit has some interesting threads on the Kiwifarms takedown and the possibility of it happening to their site:

Choice quote: "What I find interesting is of ALL the things on kiwi farms (and there's some vile stuff on there, threads about special needs kids, woman hating, racism etc.) and what took them down is the documenting of literal correct information about these groups of people. Not just nasty behaviour just to be mean and talk shit but documentation of this group of men's behaviour.

One can also use a Tor proxy (tor2web), there is a list here: https://gist.github.com/adulau/5caf188bb1f63263bf7ac00c4a19f...

For example, appending ".moe" to the ".onion" in that URL:

https://uquusqsaaad66cvub4473csdu4uu7ahxou3zqc35fpw5d4ificed...

Which also allows it to be archived (as the mainstream archive sites don't recognise Tor hidden services):
