The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
is there a home use docker image that provides an andoid compatible printer proxy for network printers? like say a webpage i can open on my phone, upload a pdf or link to a webpage, and it'll send it to an AppSocket or LPD printer on the network, without having to give the docker image it's own exposed IP address or have it be on host?

God damn it. Apparently the screws are attached to my mobo's heatsinks, and I bought an nvme with a built-in heatsink (Samsung 990 Pro). Plus, my M.2_1 slot is blocked by my CPU cooling, so it'll be a pain in the ass to install even after I return this and get a new one.

Edit: Oh, good. Looks like you can buy replacement screws online.

Apparently I'm retarded. I spent like 20 minutes trying to get at the M.2_1 slot between my CPU cooler and GPU. I unscrewed the mobo heatsink, picked it up with the big tweezers from my toolset, and struggled to try and reach it to get the SSD in. I was about to give up when I realized that I could just pull out my GPU.

I've been having some video and audio trouble for the past few idk weeks?
Any video i try to play from my file browser using vlc it does this playpauseplayplause stuttering thing. until i hit the space bar and it stops it and plays the video normally. i also tried to play a video in the brave browser and it does the same thing.

audio is some kind of ticking? coming though the speaker. it's not the speaker (polk audio sound bar and woofer) and it's not showing in the audio output thing form the settings menu.

Ubuntu 24 on a System32 built computer. the tower is a few years old, so i know it's not that. and i had ubuntu 20 on it last year. it literally started up a few weeks ago and i can't diagnose it.

I had that problem a couple years ago, though not on linux. IIRC, it was something to do with the caching? It's in the Input/Codecs section of the preferences (set Show Settings to All in the bottom corner). Try setting it to 10000 and see if that fixes it.

idk much about what versions ubuntu is going to be on or anything.

but what sound server are you using?

alsa (most people aren't using alsa directly unless they know what they are doing)
pulse-audio
or pipewire/pipewire-pulse/pipewire-alsa?

could maybe help track down the issues.

also. I'm curious if you notice it playing a video with mpv.

if it's not something going on with pulse or pipewire, my thoughts are it's something with a driver causing the problem. or with ffmpeg maybe.

Ahh, the jeetification continues. I've been using PrusaSlicer for a while for one of my 3d printers. Haven't used it in a while and decided I should update. Go to downloads, click button, get a timer, come back a bit later. Hmm, no file in Downloads/ and no file on the Download tab of the web browser. Notice the web browser is now on a page called "FlatHub". Go to Github for PrusaSlicer. "Linux builds are now only on FlatHub". Check for 3rd party AppImage, all out of date. Check for flatpak2appimage, still nothing. Do find a bunch of reddit tier takes on "But flatpaks update themselves and this is a good thing." Briefly consider wrapping flatpak in a podman container to run this one app. Say fuck it and download the latest OrcaSlicer AppImage and move the printer to OrcaSlicer using a different config directory so I won't accidentally stomp the other printer's settings.

Umm... Sweaty flatpaks are containerized. You don't care about security, biggot?!

Install flatpak chud, it's annoying to you that you have to have things separated into their own little runtimes, and separate directories in .var? But did you think about how the developer feels when they have to pick a distro to make a package for?

Why are you not using your distro packages?

Just like flatpak I'd have to upgrade it on the 3 different systems I use regularly and keep them in sync. This way I just do ~/nfs/apps/PrusaSlicer_xyz.appimage and they all run the same software when I'm sitting at them. Also my distro doesn't package anything newer than 2000, this is a feature not a bug.

Just share your rootfs on NFS, what could possibly go wrong?

I didnt get a chance to check what sound server I'm using. But I can tell you the video thing going on happens no matter what player, VLC, MPV, and even when I try to play a local video in brave. I think I'm just gonna do a fresh install. Maybe switch to arch or something.
