Hi All, It has been while,

Dograh is an open-source, self-hostable voice AI agent platform. Think n8n but for phone calls. Visual workflow builder, inbound and outbound calling, bring your own LLM, STT, and TTS.

GitHub: https://github.com/dograh-hq/dograh

Setup

one command with Docker, about 2 minutes. No signup or API keys needed to get started:

What is new

Pre-call data fetch. Hit your CRM, ERP, or any HTTP endpoint during call setup and inject the response into your prompts. The agent greets the caller by name, references their account status, skips the "can I get your customer ID" step. Configure a POST endpoint in the Start Call node - API key, bearer, basic, or custom header auth supported. 10-second timeout; if the endpoint fails, the call continues without the extra context. Reference fetched values anywhere in prompts with {{customer_name}} syntax.

Pre-recorded voice mixing. Drop in actual human recordings for the predictable parts - greetings, confirmations, hold messages - and let TTS handle only what needs to be dynamic. The greeting sounds human because it is. Latency goes down, TTS costs go down.

Speech-to-speech via Gemini 3.1 Flash Live. One single streaming connection replaces the separate STT, LLM, and TTS hops. Turn response latency drops noticeably and the conversations feel more natural.

Post-call QA with sentiment analysis and miscommunication detection. Full per-turn call traces via Langfuse.

Tool calls, knowledge base, variable extraction are all there too.

What is coming

Real-time noise separation for live call streams - still the thing I most want to solve after last week's thread. BSD-2 licensed.

Special thanks to this community that supported me with my last post ❤️

Happy to get feedback and contributors. A star would mean a lot

I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

After two and a half years since the 13.0 branch was published, the FreeBSD 14.0 release (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/announce/) has been formed. FreeBSD 14 will be the last FreeBSD branch to support 32-bit platforms.

• A new base64 utility for encoding and decoding data in base64 format has been added.
• The default command prompt for the root user is /bin/sh.
• Added tcpsso utility to allow socket options to be set for existing TCP connections.
• The number of supported CPU cores (MAXCPU parameter) in systems based on amd64 and arm64 architecture was increased from 256 to 1024.
• The timerfd subsystem was added to the kernel to simplify porting programs from Linux.

Importing data from the Chromium Snap Package:

• Ubuntu users using Firefox Snap can now import browser data from Chromium if it is installed as a Snap package.

Privacy settings for websites:

• A new feature called Website Privacy Settings has been added to the Privacy & Security settings section, allowing users to tell websites not to sell or share their data or send a Do Not Track request.

Improved privacy and security:

• Users can now import TLS trust anchors (certificates) from the operating system's root storage in the Privacy & Security > Certificates section.
• Added a context menu item "Copy links without site tracking" to copy links without tracking information.

Improvements to the Picture in Picture (PiP) mode:

• The Picture-in-Picture feature now has an angle adjustment feature that is activated by holding down the Linux Shift key while moving the PiP window.
• This release adds a new "devtools" feature that allows users to simulate a disconnected connection to websites.

Cookie banner blocker and URL tracking protection (Germany only):

• Added a cookie banner blocker for users in Germany that automatically rejects cookies and rejects annoying banners on supported websites.
• URL tracking protection removes unspecified URL request parameters that are used to track users.

Privacy improvements:

• Firefox 120 continues to improve private windows and ETP-Strict privacy configuration to enhance Canvas APIs with fingerprint protection.

Tools for website developers:

• In this release, the new version of Firefox activates WebAssembly GC by default to support languages such as Dart or Kotlin.
• Early pre-connect prompts are enabled.
• Added a new user activation API for JavaScript to check user activity on a web page.
• Support for lh and rlh units for correct parsing and calculation of lengths.

Hello everyone, admin on the line.

It would be great if you guys post news about GNU/Linux, FOSS, BSD, Programming, etc. It would be great to see this community grow in a year!

Any post in this community helps us!

I would appreciate your interest to this community.

The release of the general-purpose programming language Rust 1.74 (http://www.rust-lang.org/), developed under the auspices of the independent non-profit organization Rust Foundation, has been published.

• In addition, we can note the results (https://ostif.org/rustvmm-audit-complete/) of the audit (https://ostif.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/X41-rustvmm-final_release.pdf) of the RustVMM project (https://github.com/rust-vmm), which provides components for creating task-specific hypervisors and virtual machine monitors. The audit confirmed the high quality of the code base and the use of techniques in the architecture and implementation aimed at achieving maximum security.

• Google also presented (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231101-rust-binder-v1-0-08ba9197f637@google.com/) a new implementation of the Binder interprocess communication mechanism rewritten in Rust. The Rust implementation of Binder has achieved parity in functionality with the original C version, passes all AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) tests and can be used to create working firmware editions.

• Fully open source, including Android and iOS apps (in beta)

• Stream all audio formats on the fly ▫️Search and add podcasts to download episodes with automatic downloading.

• Multi-user support with customizable permissions

• Saves each user's progress and syncs across devices.

• Automatically detects library updates, no need to rescan

• Download books and podcasts with bulk folder upload using drag and drop ▫️Metadata backup + automatic daily backups, etc
