I’m in a similar boat where I produce about one video a day and will definitely give this a try. But if I I want to caption them all that means $149/mo because the $15 plan has a cap of 20 videos/mo. At that price I’d much more likely pay for DaVinci Resolve Studio one time at $295 to use their subtitle generator (and that fits into my existing workflow).
If there was a better pricing plan for someone who has yet to see a dime from videos, I’d consider this long term.
whisper.cpp [1] has a karaoke example that uses ffmpeg's drawtext filter to display rudimentary karaoke-like captions. It also supports diarisation. Perhaps it could be a starting point to create a better script that does what you need.
I was equally wary because I assumed a similarity to “ChatOps” but, in fact, MLOps and LLMOps are about operating ML/LLM services, not using them to automate ops.
XMPP fills the very important "simple, and gets the job done" niche in this space. I was looking into options for a self-hosted chat service for team development about a year ago, and landed on XMPP. -- I'm happy to entertain suggestions, if I've missed anything, but I don't want any cloud service, and mattermost is bloated as hell.
Well, it doesn't fill anything but was there before XYZ came. Matrix has mostly the same properties (open source, federated). Signal is not federated and WhatApps is neither federated nor open source (but has the most users).
The things that make XMPP unique are very superficial. For a long time, it was the dominant IETF Standard for instant messaging and it has proven that it can adapt to new circumstances (mobile clients), but who cares about such stuff nowadays ;-)
Compared to running your own email server, you just have to solve different problems:
- XMPP has higher uptime requirements (from a user perspective)
- spam is not such a big problem for small installations
I might be biased, but I self-host both XMPP and email, and XMPP is easier. Roughly equivalent in resource usage for a small private server.
Snikket (a project I started) is probably the easiest way to get a modern XMPP setup these days, or (if you're more into system packages than docker) it's pretty straightforward to get up and running with Prosody, this guide being a good indication of the few things to think about beyond "apt install prosody".
> Is this “because I can” or does XMPP fill a niche in modern text chat?
Not only text chat, but also audio/video calls, file transfer. And not sure if it is exactly a "niche", but it is a standard for a federated IM, quite widely supported. Probably the only comparable alternative now is Matrix, but that comes with a bunch of downsides.
> This feels like a step beyond running your own email server.
Running both XMPP and mail servers, I find that an XMPP server setup is easier: there are fewer components, less spam, fewer restrictions on federation; I think you can run it fine even with a residential ISP unless there is a NAT. Not that email setup is particularly hard though.
Hosted secure chat is still a very important niche. Matrix.org is failing so far once you add many users. XMPP fails too, usually, but for different reasons (configuration issues hard to debug, apparrently).
Allow me to point out that Ireland isn’t in the UK. Irish people get pissed off when someone assumes their country is still part of the UK, for obvious reasons.

These comments remind me of watching 'Chopped' where someone overcooks a fish by like, a minute, and the judges get so offended and go off about the food being 'inedible' How dare someone expect me to comprehend a sentence or watch a 5 minute video...
