Amazon.. why? I just want to watch my cartoons.

I dont use prime video much, almost never, only have prime for the deliveries. Finally finished star trek ng, ready to watch the new Invincible animated series on amazon prime. Can't figure out why it's set to "best" quality but looks like it's being rendered on a tamagotchi screen.

then I remembered "oh yeah, im on linux and streaming services have some grudge against us reason."

so now im watching it on my normal go-to pirate site for animated shows cuz no one seems to really care if you pirate cartoons.

so, who is benefiting from this again? sure as hell isnt me and I can't see how this is benefiting them any.

Why is this ssh line asking me for password two times?

Why is this ssh line asking me for password two times? Is there a way to fix it?

! ssh -o LogLevel=QUIET -t ${ssh_user}@${node} sudo mkdir -p /test/test-folder >/dev/null 2>\&1; then

First time it ask me to enter the password, after pressing enter, it hangs up like it is loading, but it actually is asking me to input password for the second time and click enter before it continues.

What all should I be able to do?

Maybe I'm becoming a fanboy, but I don't care. I'm in love with this OS. I'm using Manjaro KDE but I can see how once you've learned the Linux operating system well, you'd be able to use any distro without much issue. The purity of it's foss goodness is starting flow through my veins. Never shall I return to the evil ways of the corporate overlords! (the linux community has gained a new user for life)

I've only been at it for about a year, and before that I used windows for 20 years. So I'm wondering what all I should know how to do, in order to increase my skill as a linux user. I'm no longer intimidated by the command line, but I know very few commands. Often times the command line interface seems to spit out a lot of information that I haven't a clue what it means. Or why it's relevant to what I was doing.

I'm about to set up an ubuntu file server, when before I knew very little of networking. Linux has forced me to learn some networking or else not be able to do the things I want to do.

So I was just curious what the members here think a well versed linux user should be able to do. Setting up a file server on your network using THE server OS (debian) seems like a good notch to put on the belt. What else? What would you recommend, that isn't something obscure?

When will Linux be “finished”?

The age old argument is the back and forth of: is better on Linux than on windows? Or is better on windows than on Linux? Linux is a work in progress and it always will be, that’s what makes it so special but when will Linux be “finished”? When will it be on equal grounds with Windows and macOS with nowhere to go but up? What development is important to pay attention to as it could push Linux as a whole closer to that date? And what can I/we/you do to further the push to it being “finished”?

twister retropie launch help?!

hey, so, i've been fiddling with different installs on my pi 4- retropie; rasbian with retropie; retropie with pixel; and finally twister lite with retrpoie. i made a launcher icon and it opens in terminal, but it runs slower than my pure retropie and when i go into menus and such, the desktop flashes, or filemanager (for instance) opens over the desktop in a small window. so my question is:

what do i need to add to the retropie launcher to close out of twister os before emulation station boots up?

any help would be greatly apprieciated!

Crackling noise before and after a sound plays and disappear after a few seconds

Hello, Sorry for my poor English, but as I said in the noscript, there is a crackling noise before and after a sound plays, the sound is tolerable, but it is annoying. I tried searching for solutions but it doesn't work for me


here are some of the solutions I tried but no avail:


1. Adding options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1135492/static-and-crackling-sound-coming-from-speakers-in-19-04
2. Turning off timer based scheduling by tsched=0 in /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Glitches,\_skips\_or\_crackling
3. Commenting load-module module-suspend-on-idle in /etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/default.pa

Simple Way To Improve Games On your Laptop

(To Any windows user that Might Have got this on google this guide is for Linux, but If your looking for improvements search up how to dual boot Linux(cause Linux is faster))

If you are any thing like me with a laptop of 3.7gb ram you might want to make stuff run better on your laptop and have been searching but everything just tells you one thing you haven't done

OK This Guide Is Pretty Simple

1.Install Openbox desktop environment,Openbox is a really lightweight desktop environment lowering my swap from 30ish to 3-6ish which is really good

2.Install Feral Game-mode doesn't make a big improvement but helps

3.Use a app called cpupower-gui and fiddle with it for more performance

4.And finally turn up the applications niceness/priority in your system monitor or task monitor

A few questions on adding rust on the Linux source tree.

It is no secret that rust is being added in the Linux kernel source tree.

Now i would be fine with this if it wasn't for rust's tiered support for other architectures. And sure one may say that obscure or legacy hardware doesn't matter(in my opinion it does because most server hardware is obscure or legacy hardware).

From what i have read online most problems come from rust's reliance on LLVM. There is this old(2017) theo post in the openbsd mailing list where he says that rust can't even compile itself on i386 due to it running out of addressing space. And then there are a bunch of other "tiered" architectures that do not get as good support as x86_64 or arm64.

Even if rust is only used on drivers i get the feeling that we will see a bunch of "fallback" C code basically doubling the source code base just for all other architectures, and doubling the work required until rust works well on all platforms. "This controller driver was written in rust, but you cant use it due to having an obscure piece of hardware."

Now if anyone knows more please explain this to me because that seems concerning.

Red Star OS 3.0 with HTTPS.

I've been playing around with Red Star OS 3.0. I ran the noscript here to disable the spyware and integrity checks and found a way to build a custom version of Firefox 3.5 with https enabled. The default web browser Naenara (literally means 'our country' in Korean) is designed only to be used on the Kwangmyong Intranet (presumably only with http).

You can set it to English and get root very easily, see here.
