Humble Request

Problem:
Instagram doesn't let me post text as a main post (Because it does images/video).

Description and requirements:
I want a text-to-image generator where I can paste text into an input box and it spits out that text as an image. Example output could look like this:

Requirements: something I can host myself on a linux server.
It would store the output file on the same machine and return the path of that file to me (or display it).

Nice to have features: web front end

Is something that could take a OneNote file, on macOS, and export it to text files (maybe using Markdown) in structured folders (Notebook, Section, Pages) trivial or virtually impossible?

I've found a couple of projects that can do it, but one is Window's only and the other requires messing around with Azure directory in a way that looks tricky.

https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter
https://github.com/Danmou/onenote_export

If you only need to do this once: Import your OneNote to Evernote and then import from Evernote to Joplin, which will give you the markdown files.

I have a request!!!
Can someone make a tiny app that can tell me when a thread in a forum is ready to be sniped (meaning the replies are, I think, n+1 = divisible by 40)

I will use this only in yospos

Not an app really...

I want to be able to search for something and have results show in a split window, one side DuckDuckGo and the other Google search results.

does this do it?

I'm looking for an app that already exists and I just don't know what to look for to find it.

What I want: a self-hosted web app that streams video files from the server, similar to internet radio stations that play mp3s from a playlist, but for video.

When I look, I find a lot of info about streaming live video, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to just play pre-recorded files automatically.

Like goontube?

I don't know because it's not loading for me lol

Edit: yes it's loading and I guess, except I want it to play local files that are stored server side, not youtube. So more like gbs.fm but for video except I don't want people to even interact with a queue.

Plex?

NOT Plex, because (and sorry I didn't specify this) I want it to auto stream, and have everyone that goes to see the same thing, like television or radio. I don't want visitors to pick what's playing.

Set up a live streaming server and then have vlc or mpv or something stream a playlist to it.

ok awesome. I think the VLC piece is my missing puzzle piece. Thank you!

Why not use something like OBS to queue up the videos, put them on repeat, and broadcast them over a private Youtube Live stream?

I'll look at OBS. I never heard of it but looking at the website it looks like it can do what I want (and a lot more)!

No youtube - for a variety of reasons I want to self-host, mostly because I'm a self-righteous chucklefuck

Thanks. This i what I've been reading. I need basically icecast to push the signal out, but I need a "video source" in the form of, for instane, vlc media player as a server.

I'd like an app (or a recommendation for a Chrome extension) that does a better job at autocomplete. I do a bunch of market research for beer money. Most agencies stick to a form-collection format or application that collects a bunch of demographics. https://www.tfaforms.com/5070976 is one such example.

I'd like to have the app either be something I switch on to see what I input, remember it, and then either auto-fill a future iteration of it (the URL will always be different) or allow me to use a key combo that I specify to do the auto-fill.

I'll need to edit fields like age every now and then, so the ability to edit content is good to have, or at least to have it forget the content and observe what I fill in with for future fills.

Other forms have different looks and feels, so if it can be applied across different layouts, that'd be great.

I use 1password for password management, but it can do this - almost. I have set different "identities" and can pick what identity I want to auto fill. However, I do enter it first time in 1password.

Example identities: my regular identity, my work identity (same personal info but different phone numbers and addresses), my kids, my fake id for signing up for bullshit, etc.
