  • You can do this in VLC, though it's not very practical. VLC's equalizer has a preamp slider, it's just not great if you want to change it all the time.

  • Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see?

  • I'm not an expert, but I guess it would depend on the speed of sound in the rod.

  • What is your experience with btrfs snapshots?

    Jump

  • No problem, thanks for replying.

  • What is your experience with btrfs snapshots?

    Jump

  • That makes sense. It looks like a really clever way of letting the boot process allow for basically any arangement. Thanks!

  • What is your experience with btrfs snapshots?

    Jump

  • Thanks for explaining it! So systemd-boot finds the kernel in the EFI partition, which it then loads, and then that kernel loads another kernel from the main partition, which is then the full OS.

    Is there a reason it's done this way, and not just the bootloader loads the main kernel?

    Also, are the two kernels the same, or does this use two different kernels?

  • What is your experience with btrfs snapshots?

    Jump

  • If you use btrfs snapshots and systemd-boot instead of grub, then be carefull restoring updates from before a kernel update.

    If I understand it correctly, with systemd-boot the kernel lives in the EFI partition, while the kernel modules live in the main (btrfs) partition. If you restore a snapshot with a different kernel version, it doesn't restore the kernel itself, but the kernel modules have different filenames, which stops the system from being able to boot.

    At least that is my understanding of the problem, from having to debug it twice (just start a live-boot system and use Timeshift to restore the system to after the update again). The next time I install Linux, I think I'll go with grub instead of systemd-boot.

    That being said, I really like btrfs snapshots as a sort of "almost backup" (still do regular backups on an external drive). They are quick and easy, and most packet managers can be setup to automatically make a snapshot before installing/updating stuff.

  • If you decide to set up an SDR for ADS-B, you might want to consider setting up a WebSDR with something like OpenWebRX. This would let people listen to all the signals in the bandwidth that you set.

    If you're interested, receiverbook.de is a list of most WebSDRs.

  • Can I take one end of a cable with me?

    What's the max power I can get from the sockets?

    Where does the eject button dump people and can it be set to dump things other than people as well?

    Does time continue inside the pocket dimension if no one is inside?

    What's the internal temperature/humidity? Is it regulated?

    Can I choose what I take with me, or is it just everything im wearing/carrying?

    Questions aside, I would fill it with all sorts of stuff that I might need at some point, but leave enough space for a bed and a desk.

  • I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn't work.
