Given previous more or less similar projects this is likely to get sued out of existence by Google.

Why would you not want containers managed by systemd?
You get the benefits of containerisation and you don’t have to learn the arcane syntax of some container engine or another.

Flohmarkt? Seems simple enough.

The ActivationPolicy I added in an attempt to replicate what wg-quick produces, as I recall.

pavucontrol probably the best option given your distro. Go with that.

Ain’t that the truth. But I love the workflow they offer. You don’t have to go looking for new windows. You can easily pin applications to virtual desktops and I prefer the multihead model they use over the one used by gnome or KDE.

Maybe. Every time I’ve looked into this so far I found it confusing enough to just go with a cable.

At least I can play games and get directional audio. Beyond that I care little how they achieve it.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. I’m still on the tether.

Exactly. You set up the virtual sink for 5.1 output and make pipewire convolute the signal with a suitable impulse response to turn it into a stereo signal that sounds like it’s coming from the correct direction. And yes, most games will output surround sound, given the option.

A few of things I’d look out for:

• Bluetooth protocol. Many Bluetooth headsets switch to a low-bandwidth but full-duplex mode when used as a headset. As a result you can hear and be heard at the same time, but at abysmal quality. Think old phone. You want a headset that supports at least AptX, which supports full-duplex communication at reasonable bandwidth and thus quality.
• Spatial audio. Don’t bother! It’s a non-issue that you can replicate in software, with the help of pipewire. I wouldn’t spend money on it.
• I’d stay away from proprietary 2.4GHz connectors and stick with plain Bluetooth, as that doesn’t require a specialised driver that possibly requires support from the vendor.

By closing your account.

Programmer moment.

Accidentally flashed a live image (PCBSD, IIRC) onto my 1TB external HDD instead of the thumb drive. Lost years of collected music and movies that night. I learned two things:

1. Don’t do this sort of thing in the middle of the night, when you’re tired and should be sleeping.
2. dd is nicknamed ‘disk destroyer’ for good reason.

You can either try to contact the seller and ask for the password or just erase the UEFI settings by shorting some jumper or something. There should be instructions how to do that for your specific model.

Why the /s? It’s true!

Whoops, the mask slipped.

But I have to fight the stupid OS to give me useful information. I have to install 3^(rd) party stuff. By default you only get this useless error reporting tool. Even if you report an error your likely to never hear from anyone and the chance of the error being fixed is virtually nonexistent.

On Linux the necessary information is usually readily available. The worst offender in my experience is Steam itself. You can get logs from games fairy easily. But if Steam misbehaves things can get more complicated.
