Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Festival -- not cutting edge -- will definitely be better than your Amiga, and can handle long text. Last time I set it up, IIRC I wanted some voices generated by Tokyo University or something, which took some setting up. It'll probably be packaged in your Linux distro.
You can listen to a demo here.

It's not LLM-based.
For short snippets, offline, one can use Tortoise TTS -- which is LLM based. But it's slow and can only generate clips of a limited length. Whether it's reasonable for you will depend a lot on your application. It will let one clone -- or make a voice sounding more-or-less similar -- a voice using some sound samples from them speaking.

I haven't used Google's, but I'd assume, given that Google is paying people to work on it full time, that whatever they've done probably sounds nicer. But, then not open source, so...shrugs
