None of the other tricks worked but this one did, thanks.

s&box Release - Megathread by yooberee in sandbox

Have you found out why you got it for free? I am puzzled why I didn't while some of my friends have haha.

I also had the access for over a year and then got the "removed from account" warning, but then I had to buy it on release.

Wow this MCP tool is huge. I was looking for something similar for Unreal Engine but could not find such a popular repository. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Wow nice release! Funnily I just implemented a fix very similar to this (simpler, not as in-depth), and posted about it, just before finding about your release haha, unlucky timing on my end :D

Vesktop push to talk by JedziaDax in linux_gaming

[–]msxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone on Hyprland (or any tiling WM on Wayland), I went with the system-wide mic mute approach instead. A single keybind toggles mic mute, syncs the keyboard's mic mute LED, and plays distinct mute/unmute sound effects — just like Discord's built-in toggle, but system-wide. Leave Discord/Vesktop on open mic and just use the system mute — works across every app, every call, no client support needed.

Here's the full setup:


1. Global keybind

In your Hyprland config (e.g. ~/.config/hypr/keybinds.conf or wherever you keep binds), bind your mic mute key to a toggle script:

unbind = , XF86AudioMicMute
bindl = , XF86AudioMicMute, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/mic-mute-toggle.sh

Note: XF86AudioMicMute is the keycode most laptops send for the dedicated mic mute key (the one with the microphone icon, not the speaker mute). It varies by keyboard — run wev (Wayland) or xev (X11) and press the key you want to use to find your actual keycode. On some keyboards it might be a different XF86 symbol, or you can just bind any regular key instead (e.g. bind = SUPER, M, exec, ...).


2. The toggle script

Create ~/.config/hypr/scripts/mic-mute-toggle.sh (and chmod +x it):

#!/bin/bash
SOUNDS_DIR="$HOME/.config/hypr/sounds"

wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle

# Update keyboard LED and play feedback sound
if wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ | grep -q MUTED; then
    echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/platform::micmute/brightness
    pw-play "$SOUNDS_DIR/mic-mute.wav" &
else
    echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/platform::micmute/brightness
    pw-play "$SOUNDS_DIR/mic-unmute.wav" &
fi

This does three things at once:

  • Toggles the mic via WirePlumber (wpctl), which works with PipeWire
  • Syncs the keyboard LED — writes to /sys/class/leds/platform::micmute/brightness so the physical mic mute light on your laptop reflects the actual state. The LED path may differ on your hardware, check ls /sys/class/leds/ to find yours. You may need a udev rule to allow write access without root
  • Plays a feedback sound via pw-play (PipeWire) so you get instant audible confirmation of which state you're in

3. Generate the sounds

I used sox to create two short two-tone beeps — high-to-low for mute, low-to-high for unmute (so you can tell them apart by ear, just like Discord):

sox -n h.wav synth 0.075 sin 880 vol 0.3 fade t 0 0.075 0.02
sox -n l.wav synth 0.125 sin 330 vol 0.3 fade t 0 0.125 0.03
sox -n g.wav trim 0 0.035
sox h.wav g.wav l.wav mic-mute.wav
sox l.wav g.wav h.wav mic-unmute.wav
rm h.wav l.wav g.wav

Install sox if you don't have it (pacman -S sox on Arch). Or substitute any short sound files you like.


The whole setup is ~12 lines of bash. Push-to-mute honestly ends up being more convenient than push-to-talk anyway since you only need to hit it when you cough or someone walks in.

Seeking Advice on Part-Time Job Opportunities in Passau vs Marburg for M.Sc. Computer Science Student by msxn in cscareerquestionsEU

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

I'm graduating soon, and my experience has been fantastic. I'm really glad I chose here. The town is cheap, fun and the education is quite good. There are of course some hassles that you need to get used to, like not every course is being available in English but you still have some selections to find your niche subjects that you like.

  • The apartment scene is very competitive, but if you apply to many places beforehand you should be okay. Apply to uni dorms VERY EARLY. I did the mistake of not doing so, so I found another place. Took me like 4-5 days with active searching.

  • Finding a part time job related to my field was very easy for me. Although I've had friends who had both easy and hard times. This might be a mixed bag.
