Most issues require nuance, and the internet does not have the concept of nuance at all. I did my research and bought my EV, no regrets at all. Not only do I know it's better because I haven't consumed gas now in over 2 years, it's also simply the best and easiest car I've ever owned. It's a no brainer to get one. Anyone who says otherwise I think firmly needs to think about their connection with propaganda.

Of course, welcome to the Linux community!

Exactly. It was so cool. Now I just look at my old Home devices in anger.

It was annoying enough I saved it, I highly recommend starting some sort of docs setup so future you can remember how you fixed things. This fixed it for me, granted I was on pop but both Ubuntu based so same layers underneath.

Audio Crackling

You can fix this by increasing the minimum audio buffer size, which, in turn, will increase the overall audio latency.

It's not good for real-time professional audio recording, but it won't hurt the general gaming and multimedia experience unless you use a very high value to the point it leads to a noticeable desync with video. Test with a greater minimum quantum

This takes effect immediately, but it won't persist across reboots.

This worked for me

pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.min-quantum 2048

Increasing the minimum quantum permanently

The default is 1024.

cat << EOF > ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/fix-crackle.conf context.properties = { default.clock.min-quantum = 2048 } EOF
systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber

You can revert this by just deleting the file. Alternative method

This will improve the handling of low-latency audio at the expense of overall higher CPU usage and with that, power usage.

sudo kernelstub -a threadirqs reboot

Which distro? I had a similar issue

Yes that was the joke

Huh, why is nvidia saying we should all be using it all the time again?

Not quite all our dreams, seeing how we were asking for a show...

Seeing how it's a trillion dollar company, I think they can spare the few pennies to renew a cert, even 50 years later to keep the "lifetime" license going for everyone. They're not asking for new features or individual support. We're all saying it's a cert. Take the few minutes to renew it.

That's been the oil company's strategy constantly. Repress the technology as king as they can until it's inevitable, and then all of a sudden their green and eco friendly

This isn't that some architecture isn't supported or there's some new unseen dependency that failed, it's a cert expiry. Something that happens millions of times per day and can be completely automated.

I've followed this guy for a while and he does very well thought out videos on why different stories are so profound, and Star Trek comes up regularly. Thought you'd enjoy

 

Hi all, my Unifi Doorbell just died after only 4 years of service. I've been pretty disheartened with them lately, other products haven't lived up to the company's promise.

So I'm not looking to replace my networking stack yet, but I am looking for a doorbell camera. I only have the Unifi machine, but I also have an extensive docker/kubernetes stack, and mostly I want to use it with Home Assistant.

Any recommendations? Open to software, hardware, you name it. I have a few other Unifi cameras too, if they could be brought into the fold while I slowly migrate, I'd be interested. Thanks!

I have 2 UPS' that have expired batteries. The manufacturers want crazy amounts of money to replace them, and a friend recommended I look online to see if I can get them elsewhere. However, the sites all seem so sketchy. Have any of you had good luck with third party battery sites? Obviously a bit nervous about safety.

A researcher known as "Nightmare-Eclipse" recently released YellowKey, a security vulnerability that allegedly enables a full bypass of BitLocker's full-volume encryption. The researcher described YellowKey as one of the most "insane" flaws they have ever encountered and has also accused Microsoft of potentially embedding a legitimate backdoor in BitLocker's data protection system.

To no-one's surprise
