Occasional audio hiccups

I would like to touch a sensitive topic that has plagued my setup for many years, sometimes more frequently, other times less frequently. I think it's an issue that many users might experience here and there.

I use gentoo for many years (more than 10) with this setup lately, which seems to be the best I ever had in terms of low latency/snappy desktop feel even during load:

1. Xanmod Kernel https://github.com/xanmod/linux/releases with custom config, based on default xanmod's config.
2. https://github.com/hamadmarri/cacule-cpu-scheduler scheduler
3. https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/Ananicy to optimize nice values for programs
4. kde with pulseaudio

I experience once or twice per day a hiccup during audio playback, mostly on youtube via firefox. I have ruled out network, since the buffer is full and the hiccups might happen also on strawberry player. The hiccup can happen also during low load average, no cpu/io usage. I don't recall any hiccups, when viewing movies via vlc/mpv.

I have experimented on the past with MuQSS as well.

What is your experience? Do you experience in general, occasional hiccups too? Could it be players' issue?If your setup is flawless, share it!

Interesting thought using CDRs as USB keys

I know this is just nostalgia talking. But it would be like 90s kid cool to use a CDR to log into Linux. Also to remain logged in it would have to re-read the disc periodically, or to check sudo privileges.

My question is would it be just a drop-in replacement or do I need to do some weird things for it work.

Thanks in advance and Linux rules. : ]

Who watches the watchers?

bye linux community. recently published information about pocketchip a device that until two days ago did not interest anyone. Thanks to my post, many discovered it, but WHAT IF SOMEONE CONSIDERS THAT IT IS NOT RELEVANT, WOULD THEY DELETE IT? under what criteria? then in another post I talked about bunsenlabs heir to another distribution called crunchbang #! which for many users is mythical. apparently it was deleted as irrelevant when I see daily other posts with desktop screenshots just for posturing and totally irrelevant. It does not seem correct to me since in these times of economic madness many people are acquiring cheap computers that are useful. What better than a thinkpad considered an armored tank such as the x230 model as well as a Netbook that is technically garbage but thanks to bunsenlabs it would allow many people at least to have a working computer. All these computers allow me to compose music, draw, write, browse, edit photos, and many more functions. it doesn't seem irrelevant to me. for this reason I think it is not worth staying here. I had plans to continue publishing information on things that surely many young users do not know, even preparing a post on how to build a piratebox with pocketchip to share files anywhere anonymously, an important issue in these times of massive surveillance worldwide. but I am not going to endure censorship from strangers. I thought it was a good community but I was wrong. This is why I will delete all my posts in this community. Regards, and thank you very much.

Stuck in grub bc I accidentally deleted vmlinuz kernel and completely forgot about it!!!

Guys, I am dead.
I rebooted my machine, a remote server (so no live CD option, I can only do idrac) today, but I forgot that I ACCIDENTALLY (yes I am that dumb) deleted the vmlinuz kernel.
It now stuck in grub, I can do a fresh install from an virtual iso downloaded from Ubuntu website. But i want to keep my data!!!
Really frustrating. Anyone has an idea how I can get into the filesystem and grab my data, at least for once??

Wondering if someone can help identify my encryption options

Hello all,

Dedicated Linux user for over 5 years, played with for 15. Recently moved to IT that took my interest in r/homelab from hobby to burning passion. I've played with a couple of encryption modules in the past, but like a lot of MS documentation, what I find is often either outdated or poorly written (sorry team, I'm not the best blog-writer either, and we have the amazing capability of making far too many options to always be practical).

Right now I'm looking for something that can encrypt an operating system like Proxmox or Ubuntu Server, but can let the machine and it's VMs start up; protecting the data stored on it unless you have a lengthy, girthy, master password. I have a few different applications for this, but one of the biggest is that I'd like to offer a trade off to my best friend for NAS storage in return for off-site storage for backups of some important data with some low-power hardware I could leave at his place. I've tried LUKS once but had issues with it, and a few other options that didn't quite meet my requirements, so what would be the best option for my current needs? (If LUKs is the best option, I'd happily try it again).

Thanks team!

Copy root from B to A over ssh

I want to make an entire backup of my iPhone using ssh, I have access jailbroken with OpenSSH but I can’t figure out how to copy the root folder itself. So far I’ve tried:

iPhone:/ root# scp-r root@192.168.0.47:./ /directory/to/destination

iPhone:/ root# scp-r root@192.168.0.47:/ /directory/to/destination

iPhone:/ root# scp-r root@192.168.0.47:. /directory/to/destination

iPhone:/ root# scp-r root@192.168.0.47: /directory/to/destination

I just need to figure out how to copy the entire root folder of the device, how do I do that?

Core Linux with GUI display?

Hi, we are working on a hardware product. So far we were using Debian core without any GUI, with a design change the company decided to add an on-device screen on the hardware. We plan this screen to only serve a react frontend on the browser in kiosk mode (fullscreen, no borders, F11). (We also have a web interface, I would like to have one code base for web and on-device screen.)

What would be the most lightweight way to achieve this? I have found about tiling managers that are lightweight like i3 or dmw. Are these be the best way to achieve this? What is the defacto method for on-device screens?

We want to avoid using a distro with full GUI Gnome for saving hardware resources.

Is kali distro save/good as everyday desktop distro?

Hello,
I have made kali/windows dual boot and Im pretty happy with kali, since I use it as everyday desktop distro for programming, while slowly learning to use some pen testing tolls it offers. The problem Im facing now is that I have readed on quora, that kali have lot of vulnerabilities so it can work the way it does during pentestin, wifi scanning, etc. Is it true, if so how much and what other distros is now considered most secure to use for everyday purpose

Do these two books cover the objectives for the Linux+ exam?

https://nostarch.com/howlinuxworks3

https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Command-Line-2nd-Introduction-ebook/dp/B07J43H42Z/ref=nodl_

Do these two books cover everything I need for Linux+? What about Linux Essentials? Would those two books teach me everything I need to know to be good at Linux?

Are there any decent Udemy courses on Linux because I look online and most seem to be garbage, even the “five star” courses.

xrdp - Alternatives - Linux Terminalserver

Hi!

I am using Linux Terminalservers as "websurf-environments" for my Windows users. In the past, I have used xrdp and Nomachine as server to allow the clients to connect:

​

xrdp:

Does not need an additional client on Windows systems
SLOW with video and autio
very hard to get running with audio
often problems with codepages and num-lock-sync

​

Nomachine:

Fast (also with audio/video)
Needs additional client installation
FAT client, that often confused my users
Expensive

​

Do you have any other idea, what I could try? Are you using Linux terminalservers?

​

Thank you for your help!

Are you company allowing devs to work from a linux based computer?

Hi there,

IT dept in my company is only supporting mac and windows based computers for developers.
We're forbidden to use a linux distro for security reasons (virus and what not, although this is use all over the place in production systems).

I'm working on a business case to change this.

Is linux supported in your workplace for devs?

Is it for the FATMMAN developers?

Please comment company name below if you are a dev working from a linux os... I'll compile and share the list.

Get to know 'trish', a fish shell plugin to manage the Trash folder

demo of trish functions

​

I made this tool to implement the FreeDesktop.org Trash spec as a fish plugin, so you can manage the Trash folder without leaving the terminal! There are 4 functions:

'trish' is used to send items to the Trash
'trishl' will list what's in the trash. There's also a flag called "-p/--peek" that lets you see what a given trashed folder contains.
'trishr' will restore trashed files to their original location. With no arguments, it presents an interactive way to select what files to restore. With the "-a/--all" flag, everything is restored.
'trishc', finally, cleans your Trash folder, removing its contents for good. It works the same way as trishr, but there's an extra "-o/--old" flag that lets you clean only files that were trashed N days ago or more.

Get trish here.

If anyone here is rocking the fish shell, I hope you give this a try! I'm also open to ideas and suggestion, as this is my first "serious" coding project. I was inspired to do this after seeing the (much more popular) trash-cli utility.
