Creating a virtual character and animating it for your video production has traditionally been difficult, and has required expensive facial and motion capture devices. Unreal Engine's Metahumans is changing the game with automated lip synchronization requiring nothing but an audio file. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use an audio file to animate your Metahuman's face in Unreal Engine. Perfect for video content creators looking to add lifelike facial movement to their virtual actors without expensive equipment.

me: I'm running out of disk space.
my hyperactive brain: what I'm hearing is we need to investigate using zfs snapshots, set up a custom rsync script to offload old files to a NAS, and then write a cron job to periodically clean up orphaned packages and old log files.
me: that sounds reasonable

@frog watch the forest concert and you'll be done.
@RPiSpy I'd add a ENS160+AHT21 sensor (in addition to its MQ135 gas sensor) to detect TVOC. Actually... how many sensors could we fit in here? A BMP280 for air pressure would also be cool, and perhaps even a DHT for thermal and humidity. And since we're at it ... can we make it look like a TNG Tricorder? 🤤
