Most of psyops are done via memes nowadays

While I don’t disagree, given there was a user making throwaway accounts solely to post controversial comics on !comicstrips@lemmy.world, this is a pretty specific joke that only Linux users would understand and appreciate. It of course is parodying the 2 instances of outlook issue they had on the rocket.

I hope that's like a personal laptop or something. I'd hate to think we shot people into space on something that's running windows for a critical system.

And also wireplumber, for good measure

outlook meeting request y/n . maybe

When I type s my terminal autosuggests systemctl --user restart wireplumber

You should alias it to what. That way, when the computer says something but you can't hear it, you just type what and now you can.

Eh, I aliased it to rpipe because it is short for "Restart Pipewire", so I won't forget it.

Eh.

I change my audio output device a lot and my wired USB headset confuses the hell out of pipewire, especially if I have the microphone unplugged/hardware muted.

I just restart pipewire until it breaks again, which is most likely after a system update/restart anyways.

I did alias rpipe='systemctl --user restart pipewire'

I have not worked on human rated launch vehicles, but I've been adjacent to them, saw what went into them, and a few close personal friends have worked it.

Anything that can jeapordize the safety of the crew must go through a rigorous independent validation and verification process that takes years, software included. No shot a Microsoft product was even in consideration for those systems.

Being in industry I find it crazy that so many people are freaked out by this. Astronauts have email, they have tasks and schedules and reports to make. Why would NASA reinvent the wheel on a task/schedule manager when the ground operators and astronauts are already used to using Outlook.

No as far as I know. Problem with crackling ocures on start of audio after silence and at the end of playback. Some sort of power issue I reckon

I have it piping audio to three different devices at the same time. And believe it or not they're all in sync... most of the time.

Wait are you saying they do or don’t have Microsoft products?

I think they're saying they're not using Windows to operate Artemis II but the astronauts are probably used to using Microsoft products. So when it comes to simple logging and data entry they probably are using Windows. But these are their own computers and not used to run Artemis II. I may be wrong but that's how I understood it.

Yeah, I don't actually believe all of that jokes are literally psyop. It wasn't entirely serious comment.
It wasn't entirely unserious either.

Surely there's a better way to determine if you've caught a fish or not? Because damn...

When I type p I get "plasmashell --replace --no-respawn" because I have to reload plasmashell twice after reboot to get all my widgets in working state lol

If it's consistently breaking then your distro is messing up something. Bad defaults, broken scripts, etc.

The problem is that the environment variables are expected to be there and they are not there.

So, if you're not doing something odd, then your distro is pushing misconfigurations or some other piece of software is interfering with your environmental variables. Whatever the vanilla setup for your distro is, it is not setup correctly.

I do agree that it's frustrating, just aim the ire in the right direction... whoever configured your system's defaults.

The alternative is to create a multiplayer bot that directly speaks the network protocol. Mine simply looks for the relevant subtitles when fishing, and use template matching avoid bringing out a full on OCR. Others use audio cues to work. There's no real simple way to solve the problem there. Unless Mojang manage to make fishing not boring.

Can I put that in some config to make it stick?

Make a file in pipewire.conf.d: ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/min-quantum.conf

With this, replace the quantum with one you've found works best:

context.properties = {
    default.clock.min-quantum = 512
}

Restart pipewire for it to take effect.

I have two loopbacks (I like having music and games each grouped separately from other audio), an echo-cancel and a noise cancel (filter-chain with a single rnnoise node), all configured via .conf files. As an aside, is there a “best order” to chain echo cancel and noise cancel?

Echo cancel seems to have a quantum/rate of 480/48000 across the board. Loopbacks, rnnoise and alsa_output (my headset) all have 0/0. I imagine it makes sense for the Loopbacks and rnnoise, but should it be something else for the main output?

I have been doing echo-cancel -> rnnoise. That way echo cancel gets a clean stream to do what ever correlations that it needs to do and then rnnoise de-noises what is remaining.

As far as the latency, I think it is because echo cancel needs a bit of a default wait in order to actually hear the sound coming out of your speakers (speed of sound is slow, smh) which is why I think that delay is there (though this is complete speculation, if someone knows better I'd love to know).

The quantum of all of the devices is propagated through the chain so if you have echo cancellation in a graph then all everything will use at least its quantum (if there are not higher quantum objects in the chain). If a device doesn't have a quantum, it'll either use the min-quantum or the highest quantum of any node in the graph.

Sounds like a compressor would be a good idea to have anyway. Is that also doable through the config? I’m not opposed to graphical tools, I just feel like working with the config directly is more educational. It’s also more prone to screwing things up, but that’s just bonus lessons on what not to do.

I agree, learning the underlying system pays dividends.

Any LADSPA filter will work as a node in pipewire. So the world is your oyster!

This explains how to set it up better than I can here: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/pipewire-filter-chains-normalize-audio-noise-suppression/31661

Curiously, the reason I looked at echo-cancel in the first place is that Discord’s own echo fucks with things, cutting me out at times while also not cancelling the echo at others.

Yeah, I've had similar experiences. I typically disable any sound processing done by the application and depend on my own plugins to handle that.

Yup, sometimes it's too easy for me to just slip into work mode when talking about this kind of stuff and I don't elaborate enough. Thanks for stepping in.

Based on industry rumors I believe the Orion capsule control computers are running VxWorks (I've heard that maybe a few boxes are using RTEMS?) All of that source code would have been reviewed, audited, and tested to hell and back.

The day-in-the-life stuff for the astronauts is entirely believable to be Windows. The risk of it failing is so low (medium probability, low impact), it's what they'd be familiar with, and it's part of daily life at NASA anyways. Linux is no better when it comes to safety critical components and the astronauts almost certainly wouldn't want to be dealing with Gnome's... uniqueness....

Outlook and now Pulse!

It’s a joke about the outlook thing. Not actually real

I adapted the normalizer Sink from that post to be a normalizer Source, replaced the local paths with the system lib names, made a mistake, fixed it, got everything hookes up as I think it should be. How it performs under load remains to be seen, and which order noise cancel and nornalizer go will be tinkered with, but at least the service restarts and everything looks fine.

May life be as kind to you as you have been to me.

I'm glad you got it figured out!

Just pay it forward, there's always people with questions that need answered :P

Try run the decibel linux pendrive you made earlier and preserved in a working audio state.

And/or there are GUIs for JACK connectivity... ?

Cool.... Sounds very familiar widgets showing Configuration button instead of working properly. after reboot like you said

Yeah it happens with the I/O widgets for my Btrfs mount point for my HDDs, which takes a few seconds after the shell loads to become available. Haven't found a way to delay loading of widgets yet.

Does the buzzer count as having sound?

My audio is JACKed
