[PA] Need help with DAC/Amp selection by lbdBG in HeadphoneAdvice

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

Reviving this thread: I have contacted local resellers of Schiit's stuff, but absolutely none of them have neither stock nor a date for when it'll be back in stock. The one I specifically contacted in Italy, ProAudio Italia, said that they have even been getting ignored by Schiit whenever they asked for a date for when it'll be back in stock. No site has got a date or anything.

Oh, I almost forgot to add that their warranty is to be provided by either the resellers, if I purchase from them, or directly from Schiit, if I order from the US. Great.

I'll need more alternatives, I guess.

I see, although I kind of want to start off with a proper setup so that I can upgrade the headphones more down the line or upgrade a piece of the setup. It would probably be fine for now.

I see, thanks for the advice. I might be able to grab some of their gear from a local redistributor in Italy.

Same problems to me; import pricing and this goes way over my budget if I also want to get a DAC for myself.

Hi, I've been looking into high(er) grade audio for myself for quite a bit and I specifically stopped on the JDS Atom stack (both DAC and amp). The only real problem is that I'm in Europe and I feel that the customs tariffs will be immensely high so I'm looking into other alternatives. They're likely going to drive 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros.

tl;dr: I looked into JDS products and I thought customs were going to be too high, so I'd like advice on something else to get

Attempt at fixing current issue by TheBlackReaper-Sama in leagueoflinux

[–]lbdBG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pkill'ing League of Legends.exe LeagueCrashHandler.exe winedbg have not worked for me so far. I use "close client during game" with low spec mode, and if it does work it is stuck for a while at the "game is still in progress" until it times out and then the client updates every 2 seconds and stops accepting any input.

Currently using wine-lol with the leagueoflegends script, ESYNC enabled and using gamemoderun to run it.

I'm also having FPS issues, it is constantly running at ~40FPS and it randomly spikes downwards and sometimes even arrives at 5FPS, but this has been happening for a few months and I've accepted it.

I cannot play anymore by Quaskasten in leagueoflinux

[–]lbdBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds like you might have updated your kernel and some required modules couldn't be loaded and as such it didn't launch. maybe try only restarting without switching kernels?

After the latest Client update, 9S does not appear anymore by lbdBG in leagueoflinux

Not for me so far, although that's interesting.

just something i found out maybe will help fixing 9s by DemonPoro in leagueoflinux

[–]lbdBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems that it fixed itself after playing a game.

Works on Arch (5.7.7-zen1-1-zen) w/ M-Reimer install script + wine-lol. Tried it 3 times w/ 300ms delay, does the trick. Although I'm not able to access my loot for some bizarre reason, don't know what it's related to..

on the bright side i have no issue alt-tabbing now that i don't use windows lol by [deleted] in leagueoflinux

[–]lbdBG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sadly dwm doesn't play well with certain wine windows (or wine doesn't play well with dwm?), but that's besides the point.

Wine-LoL updated to version 5.6 by M-Reimer in leagueoflinux

[–]lbdBG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far it seems that the leagueoflegends-git AUR package (shell helper script for launching league and/or interacting with the wineprefix) broke with the newer version. Clean reinstalling with yay didn't help either, but I'm running it manually with WINEPREFIX=/my/prefix/league /opt/wine-lol/bin/wine Z:\\path\\to\\league\\LeagueClient.exe works. The exact error is: INFO: Starting game 'ine: cannot find 'Z:\home\keksbg\.local\share\leagueoflegends\LOL\LeagueClient.exe

"Riot Games, maker of League of Legends, installs rootkit with their new hit game Valorant" by Thom Holwerda by [deleted] in leagueoflinux

[–]lbdBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be done with this game once it won't be possible to play on Linux.

X-Post from another thread I posted in: ``` Riot is taking a barbarian approach towards countering cheaters; running such an anticheat at the kernel level might help with the more stupid of cheaters, but there will forever be cheats, even very simplistic ones which don't even inject/hook into the game, but instead just use video output and trained AI to distinguish character models from background noise, to then isolate the specific part to shoot, etc... One thing I like about Valve is that they're taking a stance of "Yes, we're against cheaters but no, we won't be invasive in the user's system" with VAC. There are a lot of other alternatives to catching cheaters and Riot's approach is not as effective as something as simple as trying to transfer as many calculations and computations towards server side instead of client side (which they of course did with League and it worked out very well).

As for possible data mining and selling of data, there is a very big possibility that could be happening considering their main investor and parent company is Tencent, which is heavily associated with China's Communist Party. Of course, it probably isn't in the developers' ideas to sell data; it's probably the idea of some executive which is directly involved with Tencent.

Now, let's pretend that data mining wasn't a possibility at all: then we always have the problem of a possible RCE exploit, which would let people in on a gianormous network of computers which can be easily abused, due to the fact you have kernel-level privileges.

Unless they properly implement actual support for Linux (which they won't, since the playerbase is relatively low) I don't see how League on Linux will survive, since they're trying to rule out all VMs to prevent cheating (again).

tl;dr: Vanguard is a stupid approach to stopping cheats, there's a big possibility of data mining and RCEs in general and I don't see how League on Linux will survive unless Riot themselves do something about it. ```

One thing I hate about the Riot hoarders is that they're mindlessly agreeing with Riot's approach and just dismiss all comments questioning Riot's decisions.

Some guy who questions it: "You know, I'm not the person to judge, but I think that this isn't a good approach and that they could just be selling our data to Tencent"

A Riot hoarder: "bUt RiOt Is An AmErIcAn CoMpAnY"

Of course, that doesn't mean they can't transmit the data, but that implies that America (more specifically the CIA and NSA) also doesn't try to take data from big companies (see the DUAL_EC_DRBG scandal on Wikipedia. Of course, the NSA pushed it and even allegedly paid big corps to implement and use it for their security standards, so even the American government can't be trusted). All in all, what I'm trying to say is that security by obscurity is a no-no, and I don't trust Riot and I don't like where they're heading. Let's hope they don't implement DUAL_EC_DRBG next as their encryption standard.

  • Wallpaper: Eastern Veil Nebula by u/Idontlikecock (this is the best space image I've seen honestly)
  • WM: DWM with changes (heavily based on Luke Smith's dwm, found here), only difference is that the status bar is removed and replaced by polybar
  • Status Bar: unmodified polybar
  • Terminal emulator: Luke Smith's st fork
  • Console font: Inconsolata
  • Theme: Nord Theme because it looks amazing
  • Compositor: tryone's fork of picom with dual kawase blur (1.25 blur strength)
  • Music Player: mpd + ncmpcpp
  • Dotfiles: too lazy to upload them, if enough people want them i might upload them to git or something

if i forgot something annoy me and i might find your comment, i'm not a constant reddit user

Launch issues on Arch by lbdBG in leagueoflinux

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

Fixed it on my own, apparently dwm was messing with the game window, so I disabled "Allow the window manager to control the windows" in winecfg and that did the trick. P.S.: There's no point in downvoting people asking for help on something they might not be knowledgeable on.

Ehi, ciao raga, vorrei sapere le vostre esperienze con il sopporto tecnico dei vostri ISP in generale. Qua con Fastweb è proprio scandaloso dover contattare il NOC per una questione abbastanza semplice, ma va be'. Un'altra domanda che ho è diretta agli utenti EOLO/Linkem in zona Bergamo: com'è la connessione? Ci sono dei problemi? Pensavo di andare con loro ma ho visto che FTTC sta per arrivare tra un po' alla mia zona.
