Faster-Whisper is a fast version of OpenAI's Whisper that transcribes audio up to 4x quicker with the same accuracy, using less memory on CPU or GPU—benchmarks show it beats original Whisper (e.g., 1m03s vs 2m23s for 13-min audio on GPU). Install via `pip install faster-whisper`, no FFmpeg needed, and use simple Python code like `WhisperModel("large-v3").transcribe("audio.mp3")` for segments with timestamps. You benefit by getting quick, efficient speech-to-text for real-time apps, saving time and resources on long files or batches.

LinkWarden
Self-hosted, open-source #bookmark + archive manager to collect, and save websites for offline use.
The objective is to have a self-hosted place to keep useful links in one place, and since useful links can go away (see the inevitability of Link Rot), LinkWarden also saves a copy of the link as screenshot and PDF.
