Linux-based Account-less Deezer CLI app

I just found this small C99 MIT-licensed app (\~20KB) that allows you to listen to Deezer from your shell even without an account, which IMO is better than any of they electron app.

To stay out of legal trouble the binary does not contain any private decryption keys. But googleing the variable name shall give you the value. Or if you prefer the hard way, you can follow they wiki page which explain how to get the keys from the official HTML5 player.

[Manjaro][Overclocking]Linux Performance INSANELY Higher than Windows according to Geekbench/Just broke Geekbench record for the 3200G

I built my first pc last week, and I've been slowly trying to get into overclocking so I can max out my performance until I can upgrade to the 2600 next month. I've gotten awesome scores on Geekbench from the beginning (most likely because I'm using linux, which tends to outperform Windows at least on Geekbench. But this is crazy, I'm beating the average Windows single-core score by 200-ish points and multi-core it's more like 300), but just now after trying to go the highest I've gone on the OC, and overclocking my 3000mhz RAM to 3200, I just blew away the Geekbench average score for the 3200G, and I actually looked through all 200+ benchmarks they had for the 3200G, and I seem to have broke the single core AND multi-core record for that processor in Geekbench 5. Given that this is my first build, and I got the 3200G and my MOBO from Newegg for 124 dollars on sale, I'm absolutely ecstatic. The single core score actually barely edged out Geekbench's listed score for the i3-9100f and the 3400G.

Search for a Stable Distro to work off a USB with Chromium (Answer: Pop!_OS LTS)

I just wanted a stable Distro that could work off a USB with Chrome builtin and maybe a few apps that I could install over it.
Recently got my old laptop resurrected didn't have the HDD cable so I can only use the PC with a USB Drive till the cable arrives.

Disclaimer: I am and have been a constant Windows User. I had tried out some Linux distros and settled with Linux Mint in the past due to it's support for codecs and that I could use it start it asap. Didn't actually try many distros back them.
I am not a hardcore Linux User. Maybe not even a little bit. I just want to flash an OS and start using it for all my task. I take the shortest path possible and don't try too much to learn any OS as long as I can run my apps over it. I care about the software and whatever work I have to do on the machine. I will understand that many of you could come out of the following troubles with a few terminal commands. I had tried googling in many cases and I did try to fix some issues on my own but I gave up on a distro which made me do a lot of things just to get started and stable because it's running off a USB and the next time I would just flash the OS and use it without worrying about how to even getting it started in the first place.


\-> Persistent vs. Non-Persistent: Couldn't use Persistent module for too long, it kept running into storage issues even though I kept deleting the stock apps and deleting Style Files or anything I could delete. So I settled for non-persistent and never turning off the laptop.


\-> UUI vs. Rufus: It first looked like UUI was doing a much better job but soon I realized that many distros don't boot when flashed with UUI but they do with Rufus. On top of that I kept hearing from everyone online that they use Rufus for making Live USB.


\-> Distros:
1) Linux Mint Mate 32: Constant Freezes and always running out of storage both in persistent and non-persistent module on a 8GB Pen-drive made it unusable.
2) Tiny Core: Couldn't connect to WiFi and couldn't play YouTube Videos over 240p.
3) Lubuntu: Couldn't start in Live Environment at all.
4) Bodhi Linux: Felt very very weird in terms of OSes. Didn't even try it out.
5) antiX Linux: Based on Debian. I just know that the commands were not same as Linux Mint or Ubuntu. It's hard enough to learn commands in one environment.
6) Puppy Linux: FatPuppy: This was the weirdest looking one and therefore didn't flash it at all.
7) Chromixium OS: Same freezes and inability to play YouTube videos as Mint.
8) Chromium OS: Had tried flashing this earlier and I kept running into no WiFi earlier. Wasn't familiar with Linux at all back then so didn't try it then. Later I tried it and it just wouldn't boot. Now that I think about it maybe it was due to UUI, should have tried Rufus back then.
9) Ubuntu: Had flashed it earlier and I remember that I couldn't even play videos because we had to install codecs and all. I know now that I can simply install vlc and it will work but given how it is going to be run off a USB I don't want to install too much data on the USB.
10) Pop!\_OS: Worked like a charm. I didn't even want to flash it earlier seeing how it was like 2GB even for the LTS version. While using tDistrohe normal version, it just crashed and I had to boot again. During the second boot BIOS didn't even recognize that there was an OS on the USB Drive.
So I flashed Pop!\_OS LTS version and have been using it for the past day. It works like a charm and I only ran into a freeze once in that whole period with Chrome but it works in all other aspects. I was so blinded by the fact that a small size distro would be more smooth that I didn't even want to flash a large size distro. Turns out, size doesn't matter in this case.

Update 1: Puppy: Holy $#!t it's damn confusing.
I am almost two hours into it and I can't figure out how to fix the backlight. I have successfully changed touchpad sensitivity from the terminal earlier, I have done a few things from the termina
l just by googling but this OS has a very very small community online. I just can't do it anymore.
I can't find driver settings for Intel Drivers because Puppy keeps using the ATI drivers. I even removed the ATI drivers completely, no luck. On top of that there is no location settings, so I can't use redshift directly. It's really time consuming when all I want to use is Chrome.
I am sure someone with enough knowledge of Puppy Linux would find a way to make it all work and even make it run much better but not your average "Trying to get into Linux Users".
Maybe because I got used to apt a lot.

Fans are louder on linux than windows?

I feel like this isn't going get much attention, but here goes nothing.

I recently moved to Linux Mint from Windows 10. And upon using linux for a while I have noticed that my fans started producing louder noise on idle than Windows 10's idle. It would usually get this noisy when I am playing games. So I tried finding solution by googling, but all I could get was:

"[There is fancontrol.."](https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2209877)

"[Your motherboard already has (it should) sensors to detect temperatures and then and only then, tell the fan to operate at specific speed (you can set it by motherboard settings).](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/361804/how-can-i-fix-a-loud-fan-on-linux) That is said and true, if the fan already has a controlling pin installed at the motherboard, otherwise the fan would just run at 100%."

I don't remember, but somewhere I read that it is bad to use linux mint with AMD build??

So what I even do now? Am I stuck with loud fans?

​

PS: lm-sensor detects only 1 fan, so is psensor. Even after running `sensors-detect.` Not to sound stupid, but I thought my fans are always on high due to my fans not being detected.

bek@bekware:~$ sensors

amdgpu-pci-1f00

SSH tricks -- SOCKs proxy, jump box/bastion, ssh agent

Hi all,

I have published few SSH related articles with (I would say) less know tricks:

* Dynamic port forwarding with SSH (SOCKS): [http://bruxy.regnet.cz/web/linux/EN/socks-via-ssh/](http://bruxy.regnet.cz/web/linux/EN/socks-via-ssh/)
* SSH reverse tunnel and SSH via bastion: [http://bruxy.regnet.cz/web/linux/EN/ssh-bastion/](http://bruxy.regnet.cz/web/linux/EN/ssh-bastion/)
* Using and abusing of SSH agent: [http://bruxy.regnet.cz/web/linux/EN/ssh-bastion/](http://bruxy.regnet.cz/web/linux/EN/ssh-bastion/)

Especially for SOCKs proxies, I have written a noscript helping me change my public IP any time :)

Regards,

BruXy

How is accessibility on Linux?

I'm visually impaired, I can still see.
I would like to try Linux but how is screen reader? Does it work like the NVDA on windows?
I usually use NVDA screen reader as support reading if the text is long and bigger font + dark mode on my windows.
Is there any visually impaired people using linux?

Official MS Teams Linux client preview will be available by the end of this year

The feedback forum page was updated last week: [https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16911565-linux-client](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16911565-linux-client)

It's a good news for anyone who is forced to use MS Teams at work.
