I have a bunch of songs that I pirated. A few of them have their volume set too low and some don't have their album cover. How can I set the volume for each song to be a certain volume (dictated by a certain song--setting it at a certain db level would probably be more useful), and how can I go about having each song have their proper album cover? MusicBee works pretty well (3/4 of the time) for updating the album cover on it's own, and there's even a way to edit each album and choose a specific image for its album cover, but I don't think you can set it to play at a certain volume by default (outside of the music player as well). Also, where would I go to get a good image of the album?

how did you manage to set up pop os without knowing this?

yes, you have to physically remove the drive. you can buy an enclosure on amazon for like 10 bucks or less.

You know that to access bios you have to enter a key (which varies by manfacturer; could be esc, f2, f12, etc) right after powering on the computer, right? I don't know anything about pop os, but as far as I know, nothing os related will ever prevent accessing bios. Your computer shouldnt even be looking at your hard drive yet when you're at the point where you can access bios

Thanks for the information. I'm misremembering this, but I thought I heard that a device's battery can be damaged by having it be charged by the wrong type of usb charger.

To my understanding, charging with too weak of a charger while the device is in use can damage the battery, i.e. using a phone charger for a laptop while the laptop is turned on

it can if you go out of your way to do stuff, like make a RAM disk and put cache or programs on it. but if you do literally nothing but add more RAM then no

Take the "usb" out of that sentence.
>Does that make sense in any capacity? My device doesn't have a battery so I'm not worried, especially now with your answer. I'm just curious.
Now you are just applying car mechanic logic and thinking lead acid starter batteries and dumb chargers used to charge them. Right?
An USB socket and a lithium ion cell have loads and loads of crap and logic and shit between them. It's not a car battery you hooked up directly to a car battery charger.
(yes, lithium ion requires loads of TECH to prevent those cells from exploding)

What do Gentoo and Slackware users do when they want software? There is no handholding with these distros, there's always installers for windows, macOS, Debian, RedHat, Arch, but never Slackware or Gentoo (for example). Do they have to compile everything? That would imply that they always need the source code in order to run any program. Plz help.

>>100199074
>>100198673
We Slackers use slackbuilds.org
For discord the link would be:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/network/discord/
You download the source pkg and the slackbuild script, reconfigure as needed, run the script and compile the package. Then you install it with pkginstall.

Then you need to hunt down and download all the dependencies because they are not included. But it's quite easy and fast once you get the hang of it. In the case of Discord there are no additional dependencies needed, since the slackbuilds readme doesn't mention any.

Scheme that makes sense for an offline Linux computer. Although it already seemed like a meme back in 1999 when I was picking my first Linux distribution. pic unrelated
>>
>>100199302
It's about having control over your system, you get to pick which dependencies to install, for instance I didn't want to install all the java crap that was needed to use LibreOffice draw since I wasn't planning on using it, just needed the Excel and Writer, so I excluded Draw and its dependencies from my LibreOffice install, it still runs great. Compiling your own stuff also means its optimized for your system as well as your needs.

I gotta say Gentoo with its USE flags and Portage is more efficient at it though. But I don't like the bleeding edge aspect.
>>
>>100199347
>Gentoo
>bleeding edge
The stable branch has ancient package versions.
>>
>>100199363
I know, but in practice you end up having a mix-and-match of bleeding edge and stable on Gentoo. Eventually one package or its dependencies will need the ~amd64 package.accept_keywords flag. Even if you manage to stick to stable only, the updates are pretty fast-paced.

Slack is more old fashioned, maybe innefficient, but it gives you more control. I like that there is choice in the Linux environment.
>>
>>100199403
>mix-and-match of bleeding edge and stable on Gentoo
That's what the compiling was for. You can have whatever software matched against whatever libraries.

>>
>>100199422
I know, maybe I'm not being clear, my problem is that Gentoo's bleeding edge is too bleeding edge, whereas the stable branch sometimes is too far behind. In practice you end up mixing and matching both, not because you want to, but because you need to.

Found it much easier to do "stable but not ancient, nor bleeding edge" on slack.

Request time out issues and massive dropped packets, ranging from 20-40% dropped packets according to packetlosstest.com. I get gigabit speeds, but can't play any online game or work from home since the connection constantly drops.

I've got a computer with a MSI MPG Z690 CARBON (downstairs) and another with a Asus TUF GAMING Z790 (upstairs). The downstairs computer is hooked into a Netgear GS110MX switch, which is hooked into my Arris G34 / Arris G36 / Xfinity Xfi XB8. The upstairs computer has request time out and packet loss issues as well, so I know it's not the computers. The modem/router is plugged into a coax running along my basement wall (15-20ft of coax cable) that goes to a coax port to my crawlspace. That coax goes from my crawlspace to the Xfinity box, maybe 10-15 feet.

I had a tech out here a few months ago who told me they detected no issue.
The tech I had out last month told me it could be signal quality, so he installed a signal downgrader or some shit on the line to "help reduce noise".
My modems do not have QOS / Smart Queue Management / Active Queue Management as far as I can tell with the Xfinity Xfi XB8.

I've tried different coax cables, ethernet cables, and a wifi card I got from BestBuy, and still have the issue.
I've disabled ipV6 with no results.
I've changed DNS settings and ipconfig release renew.

Comcast won't send another tech out because no other customers in my area are complaining of the issue, and I'm not giving them $99 to come out when I've bought 3 routers and nothing has helped.

What the fuck can I do?
Thanks

I will just define things
>the efi/bios
the main (this is enough for our purposes) processor is programmed to always run code at a specific address when it starts up, that address is the first referenceable address and it is the start of the efi system's code
the efi system has some drivers, it goes and tells the disk firmware "hey faggot write the efi system partition to this zone in ram", the disk processor does just that (it takes a while and thats why booting takes a while). The efi system then scans for bootloaders (probably looks at filenames but idk i havent written one they might have something in the body of the files but i doubt that) and displays them on the menu, you choose one and the efi system will pass control to it
>what the bootloader does
it has a hardcoded path to the kernel in a hardcoded partition
it tells the disk firmware "hey faggot give me the address of this partition"
and it probavly loads chunks of addresses at a time into memory to get to the kernel executable's address instead of loading the entire partition
it finds the kernel
reads the arguments in the kernel image's boot header, it loads the kernel where it wants to be loaded and sets up registers how the kernel wnats them, it then passes control to it and there is that

so the efi system is not the bootloader, getting to the efi system doesnt mean you have a working system

Try a different provider.
This is a good test tool: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
You are testing only on wired connection, not WiFi, right?
Also, that whole Arris/Arris/Xfinity is one device or a chain of three?
Ideally, you want your test setup to look like this: computer -> modem -> outside world. No routers or switches of any kind, because those can introduce their own problems, ESPECIALLY Arris garbage.

Thankfully I do have that option, will probably switch to Verizon anyway since I am on Comcast. Verizon in my area uses Fiber and offer gigabit download/upload whereas Comcast only offers gigabit download and 20 Mbps upload. No clue why I went with Comcast in the first place 2 years ago. Switching to Verizon here in 2 weeks but this issue has been bugging me for almost a year so wanted to figure it out before I switch.

Yeh I tried that tool last night, which is why I was looking for QOS / Smart Queue Management / Active Queue Management settings; I do think my problems stem from bufferbloat.

Testing both wired and wireless, both give the same results. Computer downstairs is wired, computer upstairs is wireless with WiFi 6 iirc

Arris/Arris/Xfinity - one device at a time. I've got each device (G34, G36, and the XFi XB8, that I have each tested individually with the same result. I do have an Asus router I use for VPN connections but that's been unplugged for the last few weeks while I investigate this issue so it's not the cause.

I have tested that as well, computer->modem->outside world with the same results. I use a switch since I've got some NAS's and other shit on my network that I need to directly see and the modemrouter combo's only have 4 eth ports.

Mint Mobile is good, IF you're not in rural hellscape. Since it runs off of T-Mo towers, it works great in the city, but go out in the boonies or a concrete building and you're fucked. My wife works in a hospital and her service is spotty at best. I live near Richmond VA and only lose service if I go 1.5ish hours away and even then it's for maybe a few minutes until I hit a tower near a town/city.

Hello Saars.

i am on a prowl to find my next storage solution.
currently i own two spinning rust drives both 4TiB
both of them have been going for some time ~5 years. i am scared shitless of the day one of them fails.
should i still buy spinning rust in the future or get a big ssd and be done with it. they should fail less than hard drives no'?

even if i get a gigant TiB drive i have no idea what FS or how to maintain it. I don't own a dataserver. the drives are plugged into my desktop pc and i dualboot. is ntfs a good choice snince it can be accessed on both windows and linux?
is this raid thing good for ssds too or should i only use it on hard drives? i don't think my drives support raid is lvm a goood substitute? all this drive striping and mirroring sounds bad for the ssd

When speaking of basic binary distributions, there's not that much more to learn. OK maybe Arch is the far out end of these 'basic binary distributions'.
There are special kind of systems like NixOS and Gentoo but other than that it's all so similar.
>i'm kind of at a loss. any advice welcomed
If you want to start tinkering, start by learning the boot process of your hardware. I imagine you are using a regular x86 PC with UEFI boot mode.
You can for example stick with your current system and build a custom kernel for it. Then boot it manually - outside of your distribution's "way of doing things" - and there, you got yourself some universal Linux knowledge.

The thing I need to use it for actually came out quite well in the Topaz demo (other than subtly shifting the colors in such a way that I can't composite out the watermark), so it's fine for my purposes. The problem is there aren't any trustworthy sources for the crack.

I only have one project I need to use it for, so I'd rather not expose myself, but if I'm going for long term use, I'd rather use FOSS. No one seems to care that much about upscaling though.

Basically what other anon said, but to expand: You remove the hard drive or solid state drive from the old computer, then get what is basically a case+cable that it plugs into, then you can just plug it into a usb port of your new computer.
If you have a USB3 flash drive and your computers have USB3 ports and you have a few hundred GB of data or less, the flash drive option is reasonable too, might just have to let it run overnight, and remember to right click and "eject" or "safely remove" your flash drive before actually unplugging it, because otherwise your data transfer might not actually be complete even if it says its complete

For the unlocking feature, most modern laptop batteries get locked up for the most retarded reasons and will refuse to charge, after you unlock them they will work normally.
Technically you can unlock them with a CP2112 USB and maybe a EV2400 but it takes around 20 minutes while with the software it takes 1-2 minutes tops.

Because you are probably missing ffmpeg.

I have a PC repair store, most laptop batteries are made with huge amount of planned obsolescence checks.
One cell 0.05v lower than others? battery will lock up, Happens often to HT03XL because HP uses the lowest quality cells possible, sometimes just manually balancing the sells is enough to revive the battery.
Battery voltage 0.5v lower than what it should be? Laptops will refuse to charge it, can be charged with a bench PSU though, common problem, if ignored for a while the battery will lock up permanently.
Laptop charger ID missing in a high end laptop? Battery locks up and blows fuse because "Fuck you" with love -Dell
Laptop charging the battery at a slow rate? Battery locks up.

Acer and HP have the worst batteries ever, Lenovo and MSI ones are surprisingly good, dell is hit or miss.

I'm a filthy rentoid, together with my bro, and the wifi in the apartment has gone to utter shit over the last month or two, although it's always been dodgy.
The network is shared across us in one unit, the landlord (And presumably his wife) in another unit, and a guy (and presumed gf) in another unit.
The router's in the landlord's unit, which means we can't restart it when it craps out to see if that works. He's also an incompetent cheapo.
ISP's website says coverage is fine, with no hiccups.
Issue persists across different devices.

Is it possible that the router is old, busted and/or can't support the bandwidth consumption, or that there are too many people on the network? 4-6 about, on what I assume to be a lower-end connection (speedtest gives ~25mbps or less usually)
Further regarding Speedtest, when I test the network the relevant server moves wildly across an area sometimes 1000+ miles across, which makes me question just what is going on with the ISP.

I just want to be able to use the network I pay extra for without losing connection for hours at a time.

NTA, but assuming you want good performance, negative ghost rider. Wifi extenders are pretty much always a no go. Wifi extenders are always the cheap solution to your problem.

A dashcam only films ~120 degrees in front, and maybe another 120 in the back if you buy a dual one. It doesn't pick up the sides.
Then you need a separate power adapter that prevents completely depleting the car battery (USB won't fly).
So your best bet is to have insurance and park in areas with sufficient security and surveillance.

>Do they have to compile everything?
>That would imply they always need the source code.
Nope, you can run a precompiled binary on Gentoo & Slackware, but the whole point of source-based distros is the freedom when building from source, so it's not commonly used. There's plenty of binary distros that someone can use if they don't want to compile. Of there's no build scripts you can make your own fairly easily or even just compile & install the program manually, most of the time it's not too hard.

I snagged a Razer Barracuda wireless headset that had a hefty discount like 2 years ago, and it's been great, but there are definite signs it's going the way of the dodo after nigh-religious use.

Looking for a new wireless over/around-ear headset that hits a good mix of quality, reliability and affordability.
Trying to stay flexible on budget, but sub-$100 is where I feel comfortable.

NixOS and GuixSD. They do share the packages if it's the exact same version, but they can install several different versions of a library no problem.

ZFS RAID and mdadm RAID work just fine on SSDs. Hardware support is irrelevant, for home purposes you should use software RAID anyway.
Some SSDs may fail less often than HDDs, but you shouldn't be looking for a golden drive that will never fail. The best way to protect your data is to have multiple copies, distributed geographically, tested on a regular basis. RAID mirroring is not a back-up, it's just a solution to increase availability. You should have at least one off-line backup in case you type some stupid command that erases everything or you get hit with ransomware.
You may want to consider a set-up like a 1 TB fast SSD system drive, 10 TB data drive inside your computer, 10 TB external backup drive that you regularly update with restic or borg, and either a subscription to an online backup service or another backup drive in a different building.

>Complete adoption or hanging on life's thread?
Neither of these, unless there's a complete and radical change in computing. We'll probably just see a continuation of the trend that companies open source fundamental computing infrastructure that's incidental to their goals (compilers, interpreters, build systems, web servers, DNS resolvers, systemd improvements) but tightly guard the "special sauce" that's their main money maker (search ranking algorithms, game logic and assets, etc.) This is favored by economics - see see Carl Shapiro on "information rules" and Joel Spolsky on "commoditizing your complement".

Is there a name for a metric of how responsive a mouse is in terms of the minimum movement necessary to register an input?
I have one with adjustable settings that you can swap between DPI speeds, and I find that when I want to make minute adjustments for sniping in games, it's easier to switch to the low DPI setting and make big sweeping motions with my hand than it is to try a small movement of my hand at the high DPI. When I have it on high DPI and barely move my hand, it goes from zero cursor movement to big jerky motions. I never had a fancy mouse before or paid attention to DPI, so I'm not sure what people in the know think.

No idea. Drivers usually prefer not to be recorded, they just want footage of the road in front and behind.
There are 3-channel kits that have one camera pointing inside the car, useful for taxi drivers.

I've only recently got into getting CDs properly and I've got a really old (2002) Goodman's CD player I've probably never touched since the 2000s.
I think it's busted from age but all the parts are there and I like how it looks, is it worth it to fix/replace it for the 2000s sovl or are older CD players too shit sounding to bother with?

I appreciate the suggestion but I went a different direction.

I used cron to run an instance of xautolock and used xautolock to run a script that kills my browser and reboots the system. I'm killing the browser just to have no persistence across browsing sessions. If I don't cleanly kill brave, it doesn't clear my browsing data like I like and that allows the next user to click restore on my prior session and a reboot does not cleanly kill brave so I have to kill brave myself. Dropping configs below just to give anyone else who is interested the deets:

root's crontab -e:
* * * * * xautolock -time 30 -locker /etc/cron.d/reboot.sh


content of /etc/cron.d/reboot.sh:
!#/bin/bash
pkill brave;
reboot



If you prefer not kill your browser, you can just use this crontab entry without the script:
* * * * * xautolock -time 30 -locker /usr/sbin/reboot

Never happened to me. Are you sure it's not some setting in your OS doing that?

>>100219057
I don't think so - I just changed the higher DPI setting now to be slightly higher and the amount of hand movement I need to do to get the cursor to move has also decreased. So it probably was just a case of me needing to git gud with high DPI. There was also a setting for "report rate" which I increased, so maybe that's part of it.

That said, I think there is probably a specific term for the lower floor on the hand movement needed to register an input, since logically it seems a different thing than DPI, but I haven't seen it advertised and google is useless.

Pre-emptive I'm a dumbass, stupid, etc etc

So, I tried downloading Debian 12.5 but used the netinst rather than the full DVD, thinking it'd work. Wifi sure didn't. I don't have wpa_supplicant, iwp, the works. So, I tried downloading the full iso on a USB but I don't have another computer with admin rights (at a library). I downloaded the iso on a USB, moved it to my debian install, used dd to copy it over, and then I get "udev blocked for more than 120 seconds" and it halts during the dd command. Look that up, it's a kernel bug cuz debian's kernel is out of date or something.

So, I'm trying to update my kernel or update... anything. I learned to use my phone to USB tether, but I am unsure what more I can debug to figure out what's wrong. It seems to be working fine, but I can't ping any sites. What can I do to debug my wifi?

I doubt jewgle would willingly allow you to revert updates. If you factory reset the phone, maybe that would revert updates? Not sure. Obviously you lose all data then. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling gboard.
And if you factory reset, if it does rever to the version your phone shipped with, then I believe it will update in chronological order, so you can just keep applying updates til you reach the one right before the one you don't like then stop. But I think that eventually jewgle force applies updates even if you have auto updates turned off, I think that happened to me before, don't remember for sure

If your only reason for upgrading was extra speed then yeah. If you wanted to upgrade to a larger SSD anyway, then may as well get a PCIe 4 one. There's no harm in running a PCIe 4 device at PCIe 3 speeds, and it will be more future proof when you upgrade your mobo.

Oh and by the way, there are situations in which the PCIe version supported by the CPU is higher than the one supported by the chipset. That's because some PCIe lanes can be connected directly to the CPU and others can be connected through the chipset. But I've also looked at your motherboard's specs, and it says PCIe 3 x4 too.

>1 x M.2 Socket 3 with M Key, type
its written really weirldy but thay's a PCIe gen 3 slot, that's what they mean by Socket 3, because there is literally nothing else I could imagine that meaning

some PCIe lanes go directly to the CPU and some go to the chipset. usually if the chipset doesn't support a feature it's likely the board doesn't have anything with that feature, but not always. the motherboard's specsheet will tell you everything it supports, anything else is a generalization. it also helps to check the motherboard's block diagram to see what is connected to what.

Most surefire way is to configure your browser to trash login data and history at the end of your session. Brave for sure supports this, I'd be unsurprised to learn that literally every other browser supports this. I personally just configured mine to trash all data at close. It makes it to where I need to login to any site that I need to be logged in to to use, but I use a password manager so big whoop.

I'm afraid I've not (yet) tried the PTR myself so can't offer any advice on it

I'm afraid I'm too much of a brainlet to understand how this would benefit me in this scenario. However, I would probably just get it anyway for the extra space, speed has never been an issue thankfully.

Thanks once again everybody! Hope you all have a pleasant start to the week.

In your case it makes no difference since you'll get PCIe 3 either way. But I have a slightly newer mobo and one NVMe slot on it goes directly to the CPU and is PCIe 4, the other goes through the chipset and is PCIe 3.

I'm fairly certain I've heard that airdrop from a PC to an iphone is stupid easy.

Still buying HDDs, huh?

>>100226626
Oh that makes sense.
I thought it was it's similar to how (on my mobo) using the first M.2 slot in SATA mode disables SATA port #1 while the second M.2 slot disables SATA ports #5 and #6.

I use an old Paperwhite from a decade ago.
No opinion about e-reader brands because I'm not up to date on which one is best. But an e-ink reader in general is absolutely worth it for me, I consider it one of the best purchases I made.

what it means is if you had another motherboard using the same chipset, even though the chipset doesn't support PCIe Gen 4 it's possible that the motherboard still has a Gen 4 slot but connected directly to the CPU, which would only work if the CPU supports PCIe Gen 4

the point is while the other anon is right generally speaking in that the chipset can give you an idea of what the motherboard can do, it doesn't account for everything. The be-all end-all for a board's capabilities is it's own spec sheet, usually found more accurately in the manual and block diagram rather than the marketing material.

I can't find the block diagram for your specific board, not surprising given how shitty asus is about providing anything useful for their users, but heres the one for my board so you'd know what to look for in future. as you can see, there is one M.2 gen3 slot connected to the CPU and another one connected to the chipset, the latter sharing it's bandwidth with a PCIe x1 slot (the bottommost one on the board).
interestingly as well it shows an intel thunderbolt controller, which is a feature neither AM4 CPUs or B550 chipsets support, unlike some intel CPUs and chipsets, hence it's useful to check the diagram to see what the board can actually do
>>
>>100226692
a block diagram can also reveal this, since you'd see that the bandwidth for M.2 slot 1 is shared with those sata ports

how come if i wear my earbuds correctly (as in, they're all the way in and aren't loose) i can't hear shit in the higher frequencies (using one of those tone generators online), but if i pull them out and just "hover them" close to the ear i can hear the those high tones just fine without really raising the volume? are my ears deformed or do earbuds work in mysterious ways i didn't know about? using my phone speaker also works.

Define "privately". P2P is literal P2P so the other end sees your IP unless you have a VPN or other type of proxy at your disposal.
