  • honestly, what with all the additional anti privacy and DRM shit google have been adding to phones lately, I’ve been getting less and less enamoured with Android phones. Sure I can sideload, but I can’t install root level apps without jumpling over a number of hoops just to stop other apps from failing Safety net.

    I miss the time where all you had to do is install the su binary, then you can do what you want without fear of borking shit.

    My current phone has some weird instability issues with Magisk - I can’t install AdAway and systemless hosts or LSPosed in zygisk because for some reason, the moment I try it, it causes the phone to randomly freeze up, which to fix requires a reboot. I missed many alarms due to that happening in the middle of the night while I was asleep. (Which while those modules were installed, would happen almost every night) it’s a pixel 3a, with stock ROM. The only module I have currently installed is Universal Safetynet Fix, which for some reason, only half works (passes basic attestation, but not the CTS profile matching)

    I just put my phone across the room. Alarm goes off and I have to get up to turn it off.

    Though now I have a habit of pressing snooze once and diving back into bed.

    But as a result I only ever press snooze once, because forcing me to get up to snooze it kinda turned the one 10 min snooze into a quick power nap, so I get up the second time and I’m always instantly wide awake.


  • If you are willing to switch to Pipewire, try EasyEffects, it might work better as it’s based off of pulse effects, but for Pipewire, it’s actually developed by the original Devs of pulse effects - in fact the original pulse effects repo is now the easy effects repo, the old pulse effects hasn’t actually been updated for an entire year now, so you might notice it working less and less well.

    To me, Pipewire is the best option for audio on Linux at the moment, it combines the power and low latency of JACK with the ease of use, and multiple device capability of PulseAudio, it really is a great project and is pretty much rock solid at this point in time. It might also fix your issues with pulseeffects/EasyEffects not recognising your microphone.

    Honestly, I still don’t use flatpaks for specific things - namely OBS, as I have a Blackmagic capture card, and the flatpak version of OBS won’t support it due to how the BMD driver is required to be installed. Sure it’s good for a lot of things, but sometimes the other options are better for your purposes. I still use the AUR Tytan652 version.





  • The problem with blue products, isn’t the quality but rather it’s the price, you can get so much more for the same amount of money as a snowball or yeti.

    As for it being too sensitive, try turning it down andoving closer to it, or just using a noise gate, or even noise reduction (like rnnoise based or RTX voice). There are plenty of options for tuning a microphone for better quality. And you don’t have to go for the manufacturers software.

    Personally I have a Audio interface with an XLR AT2020, and my noise gate and compressor plugin chain running on Carla works fine for what I have on my Linux setup, but you don’t even have to go that far. All you need is something like voicemod, voicemeeter, EasyEffects or noisetorch or other standalone setups.



  • I wouldn’t have killed Regan had I gone back in time, I would’ve gone a bit further back and after Rockerfeller got forced to sell standard oil, I would’ve offed him just before he was able to use the money he gained to form Chicago University and it’s dreaded Chicago school of economics.(home to the ludicrous idea that the free market will regulate itself) Which I think had even worse consequences than Reganomics, if not directly influencing it.

    At the very least, it would’ve likely extended the 30 years worth of post Roosevelt economic prosperity that decreased wage gaps, and actively created the middle class at least a bit longer before some other rich butthole got the same or a similar idea as Rockerfeller.





  • Looks like a 5400rpm 1TB WD caviar green. But it’s a standard size for desktops. Laptop hard drives are the same size as a SATA SSD. And the m.2 drives are the size of a large gumstick.

    But, the WD greens weren’t great drives, so nothing of value was lost - I have 6 of them in my house, and about 4 of them are dead or dying.

    My dad bought them for a Intel RST RAID array when he built his hackintosh, all the way when the Intel Core i7-860 was new, and snow leopard was the current Mac OS. The array died a tragic, and very preventable death. (He never bothered to replace the first drive that died, and the second drive death completely killed it)


  • Tell me what module will allow me to pass CTS on a stock ROM, I can’t find fuck all - the most I can find is mods to pass basic Attestation, and “disable” CTS - the problem is that SafteyNet, for phones that are known to have a working CTS, will fail if CTS is disabled - to this day I have 2 apps that I can no longer use as they require CTS.

    If you can tell me any app, short of a custom ROM that I can use to bypass this behaviour, it will make me incredibly happy.

    (google wallet, which Idgaf about, but also this other app that allows me to block companies from checking my credit score)
