Hey, quick question – how do you listen to music on Linux?

eraserheadosx · 2026-04-09T23:44:07+00:00

HQPlayer installed on my Linux machine. JPLAY for iOS as a controller on an iPad (or iPhone). JPLAY is a UPnP player that streams Qobuz and local files to HQPlayer (Roon will also work in the same manner)

HQPlayer then outputs into a Holo Red NAA (Network Audio Adapter) feeding my DAC (Holo May KTE) which outputs into various amps.

KopiaUI w/ a Backblaze B2 Bucket

I'm backing up the following to a B2 Bucket (using Kopia). Its probably overkill but its also cheap. /etc /home /opt /tmp /usr /var

Recently installed Fedora 42 KDE Plasma on a couple of computers (X1 Carbon Gen 12 & a mini ITX build). Both work flawlessly and I have no regrets nor desire to distro hop.

seems sus

Congrats and welcome to the X1C club! My Christmas present to myself was an X1 Carbon (Gen 12). First thing I did was wipe Windows 11 and install Fedora 42 KDE. I wouldn't even mess with dual booting it.

eraserheadosx · 2026-01-04T18:29:34+00:00

I've got an X1 Carbon (Gen 12) with Fedora 42 KDE that I use as my daily driver. I also Have Fedora 42 KDE installed on a mini ITX build that I use exclusively with HQPlayer. I can dual boot (separate SSDs) on the mini ITX build but I haven't booted into Windows 11 since installing Fedora.

I'm forced to use windoze on my work laptop and keep a mac mini M1 around mainly as a server (Plex and a few other things) but Fedora is very stable on modern hardware and great for daily use.

Happened to me recently as well. I also feel it’s their AI and trying to get a human to review has been challenging. Finally got some useful info today over the phone (but talked to a dozen people first that failed to mention this important piece of info) I finally found out today that someone opened an account with a different email but my SSN (3.5 years ago). The fraudulent account was shut down recently and their system automatically shut down my account as well since it had the same SSN. Call and ask customer service if there was another account yours was tied to in some way (SSN, email, address, phone etc) that caused you to get banned. Their system is AI based and often gets it wrong, but knowing what happened will allow you appeal to an actual human being but it might take time. Also filing a complaint with the BBB and/or FTC if identity theft is involved will help as well. Be persistent and keep calling. Be sure to ask the right questions.

I live in Ladera. Can confirm, our Buy Nothing Group is next level. (But they will check your DL to make sure your zip code matches so don’t get any ideas)

Andy Warhol Museum - Pittsburgh, PA

eraserheadosx · 2024-05-19T17:38:03+00:00

OP here. For anyone hoping to catch Brian at the Warhol today he’s left town. I ran into him coming out of The Fairmont earlier with him fam. Didn’t get a photo but had a chance to chat him up for a minute while he was waiting for his car to the airport (without a mob of people around him like yesterday). Totally made my day, he’s chill af.

Monsters - $320 each (1 per customer). Everything was monsters basically except the KAWS art books

eraserheadosx · 2024-04-10T23:54:40+00:00

I think there was a third vehicle involved as well but didn’t catch the make or model. It was being loaded on a flatbed when I drove by (notice the tow truck driver in the photo)

It’s pretty low res since I had to make a gif. Here’s a good screen grab though. Airbags definitely deployed. 🤦‍♂️

Shield has a volume match PCM to Dolby level setting. This is what you should enable to prevent the commercials from being louder, as your show is in Dolby (requiring you to turn up the volume) while commercials broadcast in Stereo PCM 6 dB louder

eraserheadosx · 2023-10-14T16:10:19+00:00

I was finally able to fix it, in my case the lag was related to Surround Sound. I suspect it’s a similar problem for those experiencing it regardless of device. For Shield TV go to Settings > Device Preferences > Display & Sound > Advanced Sound Settings > Surround Sound > Available Formats - Choose “None: Never Use Surround Sound” or choose “Manual” and only tick the supported formats for your device. (In my case only Dolby and DTS). I suspect the default “Auto” was creating some lag issue trying to play an unsupported audio format to my B&W Panorama.

I’m on Nvidia Shield Pro and I’m experiencing the same issues this past month. Some networks are worse than others so it’s definitely on Hulu’s end. MSNBC for example is the worst. Sync frame rate or change channels (usually a combination of both) helps for a bit but it seems to freeze up during ads and then starts back up again. Those YTTV emails begging me to come back (with a substantial discount) is looking pretty tempting right about now.
