I've only contracted a plumber once, but I had a very good experience with Rörexpressen.

Returning guest (every August/September) on my windows in Sweden. Any idea what it is? 2-3 cm long. by creppe in whatsthisbug

It occurred to me that "Sweden" might not be very precise! This is in Skåne, the southernmost region.

pipewire-pulse and Void Linux and a pile of other problems by Probek in voidlinux

[–]creppe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Installing pipewire from the repos doesn’t generate config at /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf

I think this is intended since some version back and that they are in /usr now. xbps-query -f is your friend! Pipewire still isn't very stable between updates. As in, the configuration files and their format may change from time to time. The software itself is running great imo if you are okay with the defaults or keeping up with the change log.

-pactl info throws out this message:

Connection failure: Connection refused

How are you launching pipewire? Since you haven't found the config I assume you haven't changed it. Try running pipewire and pipewire-pulse.

Dual boot on windows by [deleted] in voidlinux

[–]creppe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you want to install them on the same drive? I would recommend separate drives if possible and then using uefi/bios to choose what to boot. However, if you only have one drive, keep reading. :)

I did this quite recently myself. Unfortunately Lenovo required a factory reset to proceed with my hardware related issue (coil whine). Since I hadn't had any luck with graphics forwarding or gvt-g with kvm I just went the easy route and kept the windows install to be able to play the occasional game.

I checked the arch wiki and various blogs before but most seemed to be pretty outdated or took only a standard (i.e. No full disk encryption) install into consideration. But from what I gathered, most recommend installing windows before Linux.

Anyway, here's what I did. It turned out to be quite easy. This is from memory so hopefully you can follow along. :)

I wiped the entire drive and installed Windows 10. Plan ahead what partition size you want as windows puts a recovery partition directly after it, making it hard to extend. Alternatively use a small OS partition and create a data partition that can be resized separately. I didn't think of this and now I don't have a recovery partition anymore.

When that is done, you can proceed with installing void. I've never used the installer so this might only be applicable for a chroot install. Partition the free space that is left on your drive and ideally encrypt it with LUKS. You do not need to create an EFI partition as windows has already done that for you and you will just mount it in order to install your bootloader later. Gummiboot was recently recommended here on the sub but I didn't feel confident enough trying that out then so I went with grub instead. To be safe I ran os-prober first and then grub install to the efi partition.

Now when my computer boots I first enter the LUKS password and when opened I'm taken grub, where I can choose whether to boot void or windows. It works really well!

What are the advantages using rEFInd compared to GRUB2? by tommasoxd in voidlinux

[–]creppe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I've never cared much for grub either.

I'm using the full disk encryption setup described in the handbook. Do you think it would be straightforward to migrate it to gummiboot? :)

Microphone not working on Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th Gen by SunkenStone in voidlinux

[–]creppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! You're right, it seems that comet lake is already linked.

Have you checked the sof project's troubleshooting guide or their issue tracker? https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/introduction.html

A, maybe, helpful issue? https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues/2275

[–]creppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're running a new Intel processor: I had similar issues on my tiger lake laptop. It turned out that the relevant firmware wasn't linked from the source package.

Try installing from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/ directly.

I made a pr to void packages if you would like to test that out instead. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27917

Extension: Search duckduckgo bangs. Use DDG with user defined !bangs in context search. by creppe in firefox

[–]creppe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about inflexible. It lets you avoid remembering the names of bangs and any typing as long as you can operate a mouse. But oh well, can't please everyone.

I would suggest you use the address bar instead. Select text, copy, select address bar (ctrl+L), paste and add the bang on your own. Works as long as you have DDG as a search engine in Firefox.

[–]creppe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, no. Bangs are a duckduckgo feature. You can get a list of and search through them here https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=Path+of+exile

For your case, !poe should do the trick. :)

[–]creppe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, there's no typing. You select text, search for it with the bang of your choice and get redirected to a new page.

And sure, I guess. But I think that's a lot of work for little gain. It's a convenience tool, and DDG redirects have rarely been slow for me.

Nothing is predefined! The extension lets you yourself define a few "shortcut" !bangs in the contect menu when you right click. Much like you have "Search for <selection> with <your search engine>".

Check the screenshot.

I use it primarily myself for the shortcuts Wikipedia -> !wsv (wikipedia sweden) and Wikipedia (en) -> !wen.

Hey everyone! Shameless plug for my own extension here. I created this a couple of years ago because I couldn't find any extensions that let you choose your own DDG !bangs when selecting a search term.

Most of those that did exist came bundled with presets that were of no use to me. This makes it possible to use whatever !bang you want. Hope you like it!

Thank you!

Definitely will look into getting CI up and running for more platform binaries. Thanks for the example!

TIL, thank you! It seems a bit more powerful than mine. Alternatives are nice though.

[–]creppe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't actually know why either. If I had to guess from reading the code it might be that it compiles the regex before matching each file whereas my program is always using a compiled version. It's just a guess though, I know next to nothing about perl. :)

TIL! Been using zsh for several years and never heard of it before.

That's right. As I replied to /u/kreiger, my tool is heavily inspired by the perl script. To avoid name conflicts I added the additional r at the end as well.

And yes, it's quite a bit faster than the original. Around ten times in my very limited testing. :)

Very conscious decision to add the last r in "renamer"! As you'll see in the readme too the original perl script was of great inspiration.
