See if there’s a way to disable power save for your audio driver module.
I had to do this for Intel for example
#/etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

Linux@lemmy.ml•Share your best DE tricks, shortcuts and apps youve found!English
1·3 years ago- For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
- In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
- for a terminal ctl-alt-t
- alt-f2 to execute a command with history

4·3 years agoUsed to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Martin Goetz, Who Received the First Software Patent, Dies at 93English
16·3 years agoPatents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.
But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.
Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Flatpak standing the test of time: modern Flatpak apps running on Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, a 7-year-old distroEnglish
5·3 years agoMint integrates flatpak seemlessly into its graphic package management and update tools.
I would back up data (ie /home, /var, /etc) with Borg. If things break, just do a fresh install and restore data.
If a server, run it as a proxmox guest and snapshot the image on a schedule.
There are also things you could maybe do with ZFS.
I recommend Linux mint cinnamon.
I prefer doing useful things with my workstation vs playing with the OS itself, so mint cinnamon is my recommendation. Servers are ansible-managed alma. Professionally I’m a Linux systems architect and devops engineer.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Calling all Linux enthusiasts! Help us create a comprehensive guide to Linux firewalls and security!English
61·3 years ago- use pfsense for a firewall. Using nftables, firewalld, etc should only really come into play if on an untrusted network. Firewalls on servers can cause more problems than they solve and are easy to misconfigure.
- run lynis on your Linux servers to help get them compliant with CIS benchmarks
- be careful with your reverse proxies
- keep things patched
- run only necessary services
- configure needed services conservatively
- no root logins
Make sure that power saving is disabled.
Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

I used to buy used CDs and rip them myself. So I have my own collection. But to discover new music and listen to things I may not wish to own, streaming is the best option.
The solution? A plex server with a music library that points to your own collection. Then get a Tidal subscription through Plex. You then add Tidal music to your own library as if you were downloading or ripping it yourself. Listen with plexamp on a phone connected via bluetooth, or just use plex client on your shield, roku, firestick, etc.
Now you can listen to things both locally and streamed seamlessly. You can do artist radio to discover new music and manage smart playlists on the plex server itself.
