What tabs are usually open on your browser? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

None. I open what I need and then close it after I've used it. I feel like I'm the weird one because so many people seem to live with countless tabs open all the time. I think people who keep tabs open have no sympathy for power, cpu, and ram usage. Nutters.

Whats the most quotable movie? in c/[email protected]

The "Mostly" thing is the most famous quote from Aliens.

The movie quote for "its a dry heat" is from Aliens but I think it is a common phrase used in places like Arizona.

I probably didn't pick the most well known ones, but watch the film (which is always worth doing) and you'll see.

"Get away from her you bi tch"

Aliens

There is literally no competition. Every scene has at least 1 classic line. Aliens is also the gold standard reference used by all action movies since.

It's a dry heat

Nuke it from orbit

There goes our salvage guys

You got the duty, open that bag

Mostly

I just described a cog as a circle with teeth and my son thought it was funny to call the sticky out bits as teeth.

I'm just hoping he doesn't ask about crenellations next.

EU push for open source, GIMP3 is out, Firefox gets webapps back_ Linux & Open Source News in c/[email protected]

For me the EU should make all hardware manufacturers provide open source drivers with the full range of configuration options available. This is one of the biggest hurdles to moving away from Windows.

I'm waiting for the day when these enhanced terminals go full GUI and mouse driven.

Watching the trailer video 10 times in a row is also slightly insane, but is free at least.

Only boring people get bored.

Utter nonsense but it was said to my boy by a junior school teacher. Was an interesting conversation when I talked to her at parent teacher day.

Challenging audio setup for my combo use case. Any thoughts? (lemmy.ml)
 

I use my PC for gaming, streaming, and music production. Currently I just use a Scarlet 2i2 Gen 3 with powered PreSonus Eris E4.5 speakers, which is fine but I have an idealised audio setup I'd like to build which I'm struggling to put together without compromising on some aspect. The audio world is such a rabbit hole of snake-oil and bullshit it is hard to find genuinely good products I can trust to be what they claim, and not just overpriced distractions. I'm no audio expert (which is probably obvious) but I think what I'm trying to achieve is interesting enough to see what people recommend, and help me decide if my goal is unrealistic.

Here are my requirements and what I'm trying to achieve.

  1. Volume controlled entirely from Windows. No external volume knobs unless they can be bypassed/overridden in software.

  2. Audio Interface for my Mic and guitar.

    So at least 2 XLR inputs and 1 TRS (Combo ports are also fine).

    Include 48v Phantom Power for my Dynamic mics (RØDE PodMic and RØDE M3)

    Might need a pre-amp to boost gain on the Dynamic mic's

  3. A Good USB DAC

  4. A Good AMP for passive speakers, with a port for my wired headphones.

  5. Passive Stereo speakers

  6. Sound quality should be natural and true to life as possible. I don't want any silly audio enhancements, like base boosts or clear voice, but a good EQ control would be OK.

  7. I'd like separate units for DAC/AMP/Mic Interface but I'd be happy with good combo devices.

Here is a diagram of what I'm hoping for. https://i.imgur.com/shzA8bn.png

I welcome your thoughts and pointers. Thx.

Can I fix an AUR package myself? (lemmy.ml)

There is an AUR package that errors when I update it, and it has been like that for a while so I wondered if I could fix it myself?

The Package is here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/filebrowser-bin

You can see my comment explaining the error under the username "mub".

On a dual monitor setup, how to set which display is the default for the Logon prompt in SDDM ? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm using EndeavourOS (Arch btw) with KDE plasma 6.x (Wayland), SDDM, and systemd as boot manager. I have 2 displays, one HDMI-A-1 (1080p) and one on DP-1 (Ultrawide).

When I boot the password entry cursor defaults to the HDMI display, but I want it to default to the DP-1 display.

I've tried a few things, mostly suggestions from ChatGPT. But nothing has worked. The weird thing is at boot the boot menu and boot messages all appear on DP-1, and it is set as primary in KDE and that works fine as well. It is just the logon prompt that defaults to the wrong display.

Things I've tried so far.

  • Adding video=DP-1:e to the options in the systemd entry - (No effect)
  • Edited /etc/sddm.conf.d/wayland.conf to run a script that did the following: kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key PrimaryScreen DP-1 (didn't fix it, actually broke the logon process so had to remove it)

I'm just not familiar enough with how SDDM works so hoping for some good pointers to provide the answer or point me in the right direction.

Looking to have a common disk for my Linux / Windows dual boot pc. with BTRFS the way to go? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm running EndeavourOS and Windows 11. Each OS is on a separate disk, but I have a data disk that is currently NTFS that mount in both OSes. NTFS causes problems for some things in Linux, and I'm worried it'll bork the drive for windows eventually, so I'm keen to find an alternative. I've read about the WinBTRFS driver so wondering if that is a better way to go?

I don't want to run a server with a share to access this data because it is way to slow for my needs.
