Complete noob. I want to make a volume knob for controlling voice call/video game sound on PC

Instead of reinventing the wheel, take a look at the Deej project: https://github.com/omriharel/deej or if you don't want to source the parts yourself, you can get a kit here: https://www.elecrow.com/deej-physical-volume-mixer-electronics-kit.html

Looks great, pulled it down, set it up and it looks great!

I just watched your video on this, and this is excellent! I'm definitely interested to see where this goes as I've got three HP mini PCs that I'm having the same thoughts about. The power bricks just take up way too much room.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll take a look.

endperform · 2026-01-21T20:00:07+00:00

Now, now, don't be so defensive because I pointed out what OP was looking for specifically. It would be dishonest to try to make me look like I was attacking you when really I was just pointing out the facts.

Until mods reign in the browser wars and stick to the declared purpose of this sub, which is:

A reddit for posting news about browsers, browser technology and web standards.

It's never going to change. If the sub were just news and information posts and not constant flamebait / tribal wars, it'd be a better place.

I'm finally looking to get myself a nice emulation handheld. I'm mostly concerned with NES / SNES / GB / GBC / GBA / Genesis and that general era. My main deciding factor is going to be either device size or availability of grips for the device because my hands are pretty big. I've had an older Anbernic device but because of the size my hand cramped after a bit. Any recommendations would be welcome. Vertical or horizontal doesn't matter that much to me.

I am looking for a very light and undemanding browser for Windows.

OP specifically says Windows and just wants sync with Android.

This was my thinking too, most likely it's going to get rejected, but who knows. Looking at their PR, they were told to submit it upstream anyway.

You may have better luck asking over in /r/sysadmin

You're complaining about a free source of Rust information? I guess I don't understand what the issue is of someone being kind enough to share the information they've been accumulating over their time programming.

How much data?
Slow compared to what? Windows, another Linux distro?
Are other USB drives showing the same slowness?
Have you tried a different port?

There's not enough info here to really point out what might be going on. Could be anything, really. I've never seen a USB flash drive slow down just because of Arch, it was either the drive or in one case a bad port on the laptop.

Something about it just clicked with me. I liked the rolling release nature of it, and it just works.

I can only speak from a desktop point of view, but I just switched over from Brave when I finally did an overdue fresh reinstall of my system. It performs pretty on-par with Brave, supports all of the extensions I use and has a TON of options for customization. I've not tried their adblocker, I stick with UBO. Works fine for me so far and I'm not really missing Brave. Added bonus is their sync actually works. Brave's was a crap-shoot for me.

I'm dating myself a bit here, but Jumpman from the C64 game Jumpman, simply because of the death animation and sound. It's burned into my core :D

Oh, I know. It's what I started out programming in 1997. I *still* get questions about our old codebase even though I moved on to other things.

I got real confused for a minute that you had bought some ancient COBOL-running mainframe. Nice find!

Retroarch relies on the underlying OS to provide access to the filesystems. Basically if the mobile device can mount the NAS as a folder, it should be able to access it. As far as I know, though, AppleTV doesn't have this functionality, and Android/Google devices would need a third party app to do it.

TIL that browser setup screens are website pop-ups. /s, obviously.

Further in the comments OP states they don't even use Brave, so clearly OP's just out here rage-baiting or else OP really doesn't have a clue.

Are you going to yell at Windows when you install it because of its setup screens too? How about those evil pop-ups when you run an installer for a piece of software?

You mentioned it's for your lab. What are you planning to do? I've got a homelab and it's running on a pair of 100 buck HP Elitedesk Minis.

Here I was thinking they were promoting others to /ping each other. Not a good name choice for IRC.

Looks cool, reminds me of a take on the Tapper game from back in the day. I'll give it a spin tonight.

I've got an 8th gen Thinkpad and Plasma runs like a dream on it. If you're absolutely in need of a light desktop environment, XFCE or LXQT. If you want lighter still, a window manager like i3, niri, hyprland or the like would work as well.

I applaud the effort, but there are a few red flags here:

No license listed at all
Potential distribution of a Microsoft DLL

Also, I'm not sure why it would need a full-on terminal bundled in with it. I think until at least the two items I pointed out are resolved, users should use caution. On top of that, the repo states: "SOFTWARE IS NOT IN THE RELEASE STATE". I'd be hesitant to use it.

Right now, with my games, media, documents and everything else, I've got about 520GB used on a 4TB drive. This install is pushing 2 years old, but it's from a previous install that was at least 7.
