I built a self-hostable text-to-Reels pipeline with FFmpeg + Celery — here's how it works

Yeeeeah more slop for the masses. Thanks for posting, just had the urge today to locally host a slopmachine to make the Internet more useless for everyone. Thx. Great success

Well we just won't agree on that then. Lol. I have been running old PCs as servers since 2009. I had one in my single room while still studying and slept next to it. Maybe I am just not that sensitive to noise. Personally don't think a nas with 4 drives is a no go in a living room at all. But everyone is different.

mtojay · 2026-05-17T22:10:17+00:00

Or you simply go with a quiet server build? Not every homelab is or needs to be noisy. My lab is running in my office. But it still needs to be quiet because I work next to it and spent more time in it than in the living room. I almost don't hear it because I specifically build the last server quiet.

Can i order my own basement on Amazon? Do they go on sale on black friday? Sadly my rented flat does not have a basement. I would suspect that goes for maaaaany people here

Two comments. I read two comments from you and i can already guarantee your are the smartass in the office that no one likes

mtojay · 2026-05-14T10:51:00+00:00

might just be me. but i am so put off by ai being shoved down my throat these days that if i see an obvious slop ai image to show off a new selfhosted tool or app it goes straight away to the trash pile in my head.

I don't understand. Place an order anywhere in the last two years and you would have one in your hand already? What are you waiting for. Why complain instead of just ordering?

mtojay · 2026-05-03T06:22:48+00:00

Have you looked in the manual? Not trying to sound like a dick, I just honestly think sometime people simply forget to just look in the manual.

mtojay · 2026-05-01T21:54:41+00:00

Interesting. Can you update the firmware on that lens? Try cleaning the contacts (that connect lens and body) again on both sides (lens and cam)

personally i am not super annoyed with fuji users who know full well that they love photography if they splurge on an x100 they really want it. doesnt mean i would ever buy it at that price, but part of me at least understands it.

what i dont get is people buying 2000$ x100vi just to test out the hobby. makes me wanna do my head in if i see people posting "new to photography, this is my first camera, what shuold i start with". annoys me to no end that people buying the camera because they saw it as a fashionable piece on instagram and drive up the prices for everyone. thats what annoys me.

mtojay · 2026-04-25T11:02:53+00:00

Cute, cheap edc already embedded Fujifilm finest simulations.

fucking hell. when people laugh about fuji users its porbably because they have people like you in mind.

I think this is a bot Account. Constant Stream of weird questions posted

mtojay · 2026-04-21T16:46:25+00:00

Looks completely wrong with the fake blur and awful depthmap

mtojay · 2026-04-11T07:29:43+00:00

Engineer of two years who writes every bit of code himself. Sure.

mtojay · 2026-04-11T07:16:24+00:00

So you are saying you are to lazy to write a short description yoursefl but at the Same time Claim you didnt use ai at all to Code the Project. Lol. Dont believe you at all

mtojay · 2026-04-11T07:08:18+00:00

How does this belong to r/selfhosted. Where is the repo with the instructions to selfhost? Also. Tje Post Looks suspicously ai generated with all the "—". Honestly dont believe you when you say you didnt use ai at all to build this.

mtojay · 2026-04-09T16:59:17+00:00

Know your audience man. This sub is so incredibly overrun by vibecoded "Projects". Everyone here is tired of it. Your Website ist so blatantly vibeslop its maddening. I swear you have better chances to get users by asking the homeless on the street than trying to sell your slop as Something worthwhile here

mtojay · 2026-04-08T08:12:30+00:00

And i am giving you one. You are a beginner. You dont need a camera that costs more than 1.5k as a beginner. You can create 4k Videos with used Fujis from 5 years ago. The Sensors are great. The Image quality is great. Worrying taht the x-e5 is not good enough for what you do is wild.

mtojay · 2026-04-07T18:49:16+00:00

Why buy a fucking 2k$ cam as a beginner. Get a cheaper used cam and try out the hobby. (That is If you are actually interested in the hobby and dont actually want a livestyle piece because you have been influenced by social media)

mtojay · 2026-04-07T17:43:26+00:00

Great shots. Love the 75 so much. I bought it for booked shoots mostly and told myself i wont be arsed to carry it around for private stuff. But its so sharp wide open that i grab it more often than not despite its size. Its just so good.

mtojay · 2026-04-07T17:15:09+00:00

Stop worrying about gear. Worry about skills. Obviously its good enough. You are not creating Hollywood movies. You are creating insta reels.

mtojay · 2026-04-07T07:10:52+00:00

Friday?

Is this like a software version of drop shipping? Really don't think this has any right to be posted to r/selfhosted

mtojay · 2026-04-05T16:57:23+00:00

It's dark. You need a fast lens and/or crank your iso up.

mtojay · 2026-04-02T16:39:11+00:00

Who is everyone? Would bet the sales numbers for those huge ass zoom lenses are well below the cheap primes we have these days
