https://twitter.com/migueldeicaza/status/1382502870851936266?s=20 They’re already taking about replacing GNU user land with BSD. It’s funny that they somehow let FreeBSD languish as they pumped money into the Linux project, which they will turn into a worse BSD that’s like 20% proprietary binary blobs.

infernal machines posted:it probably still decides it has ownership of the bootloader in EFI and will just do whatever to that. i haven't had to deal with multiple os partitions on a single drive in ages, definitely since windows 8 when they changed the bootloader around. A Windows update, in addition to resetting all my audio settings like usual, also re-enabled secure boot. The problem: Windows was not the EFI boot entry, but my own unsigned Grub was. So I came back to a non-booting PC, had to figure out what the gently caress Windows did wrong this time…then wait 4 hours (ON SSD) for it to fail to apply another update, reboot, rollback, reboot…then redo all my audio settings, tell each application which is the real microphone I want to use, no don't play music via the microphone monitor output jack… I only endure this for one single game and holy gently caress is it infuriating. Dealing with pulseaudio is less infuriating than this.

Pulseaudio is a pain in the dick but at least it's scriptable and the parameters are only sort of archaic and insane.

also, for a while, updates in windows server 2012r2 and 2016 would fail to apply if you had secure boot enabled. the fix at the time was to reboot, disable secure boot, install the updates, then reboot again and re-enable secure boot. it would, as you noted, take an hour or more for the update process to fail, for reasons that were never entirely clear. also, if you had on-premises exchange, you had to disable the exchange services before applying updates in exchange 2013 and 2016 on server 2012r2 and 2016 because the service load order would cause the updates to fail during the next boot if you didn't. windows is a pos

mawarannahr posted:so is this gonna be like wayland but for sound? Kind of the opposite actually. It's how you will be able to do screen (and desktop audio) capture on Wayland, so it's more like a version of pulseaudio that can also handle video streams (hence pulseaudio for Wayland).

You can buy a little PC speaker with the dupont connectors to put on it. My tower lets everyone in the room know when I just hold down the backspace key in a terminal.

just open /dev/dsp, use ioctl to load a program on the 56001, and then use ioctl to tell the program where your compressed buffer is to DMA from in main RAM
