  4. Re:Linux itself isn't relevant anymore on Lennart Poettering: BSD Isn't Relevant Anymore · · Score: 1

    True about the Ubuntu part.

    We still run 8.04 on client boxes. Everything "just works" after the initial install, and it doesn't complain about the onboard Intel gfx on 10-year-old hardware.

    I wouldn't dream of running Ubuntu on a server, though.

    As for Pulseaudio, I can play music on one machine, games on another, my wife can play music on her machines, and our daughter can play a game on her machines and all 6 client boxes stream it over the network to the headless file/print/PulseAudio server which outputs to our cheap 5.1 surround system.

    All of it plays flawlessly, through the same source, with no noticeable ticks.

    PulseAudio works very, very well IMO.

    I WOULD, however, like to see PulseAudio stream input from the line-in port.

    Anybody got an angle on that?

    Was he using a Hermes I card?

    If so, injection does not work out-of-the-box.

    It could well take 2 weeks to learn to use the tools and then gather sufficient data.

    BTW does anyone have an angle on patching a Hermes card for injection?

  11. Re:No Carrier on Ask Slashdot: Living Without Internet At-Home Access? · · Score: 2

    I spent about 2 years being disconnected from the Internet, seems like it was 2004-2006. Moved into a new apartment and never bothered to turn it on.

    You would not believe how much more free time I had at that point.

    Learned quite a bit about cooking, got better at my few musical instruments, even got a girlfriend to whom I am now married.

    Of course now that I am married, the Internet is a convenient way to escape the wife.

    On second thought, DON'T EVER GET RID OF YOUR INTERNET SERVICE!!

    Trust me on this.
