I wonder if linux audiophiles are a thing.

"plain ALSA sounds warmer than pipewire"

"linux kernel compiled with ALSR makes for a more chaotic high end"

"ext2 sounds better than ext4"

@vidister the conversations below remind me that someone did make an ffmpegFS module. github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs read-only FS in tandem with ffmoeg to dynamically transcode media.

@vidister@chaos.social monsieur @skobkin@lor.sh (with a stress on the "i") might enjoy this tread as much as I did

@vidister @nixCraft They deleted it, lol.

Sure of it because it's still accessible to this server, you just can't load it.

fyi, since many people don't know this exists:
Almost all computer screens made in the last decade support DDC/CI. (The Display Data Channel Command Interface).
You can use it to control stuff like the backlight brightness without fiddling with the awful screen buttons and OSD.

On Linux once you load the ddcci kernel module the screens appear in /sys/class/backlights and can be controlled like a laptop screen.

screenshot of a terminal showing the following: sudo modprobe ddcci ls /sys/class/backlight it shows the internal laptop screen and ddcci11. Then I cat the value of /sys/class/backlight/ddcci11/brightness and it shows 100 then I show that brightnessctl can control the screen.

Now you can go ahead and map the screen brightness to media keys on your keyboard, write a script to adapt it to the sunrise/sunset or even connect it to your Home Assistant.

Oh, and I'm sure that there are tools for other OSes as well. I know that I used one on MacOS years ago.

you found aurelia

@vidister wasn't there like a handful of displays that can be bricked with it too or was that just a false rumor?

I really wish mine (LG 27GL850, not even that old) supported source switching, but it doesn't :/

@vidister Thank you for that information. It works great with my Dell monitors from around 2015. On Arch this module is available as ddcci-driver-linux-dkms in the AUR. I thought it wasn't enabled as first as I didn't think it was an out-of-tree one

Is data center photography a thing?

artsy photo of two rack power units on the left side of a rack with lots of red and black power cables going to servers
near photo of routers. there are some fibers and thick DAC cables going into the devices. LEDs are glowing in different colors.

The German Federal Ministry of Health and the Robert Koch-Institut operate a web form which you have to fill out when you enter Germany from a COVID-19 high-risk area.
I had to submit my data, so I took a glimpse at what it does in the background.
