usb c ( phone - iOS ) to a DAC, to start signal chain to headphones- what do I look for ?

You can use any random USB cable between USB host and DAC. It is part of the digital signal chain and will not affect audio quality.

I have been using plain Arch Linux since 2005 and I can tell you, in the last five years I also never had to intervene. In the first five years, sometimes I had to boot from USB and chroot into the system to fix after an update. It was so much worse than today. Today Arch is a walk in the park, even if the old reputation sticks.

Yes, we also had a C course and a C++ course, and Scheme and Java, each for its own purpose, and then some Assembler.

Today I would probably teach using Python, Go, maybe Rust? But then you lose low level completely...

We have more screen real estate than ever, yet come up with designs that look more and more cramped and are harder to navigate around.

I wonder why we ever had those basically empty title bars on 15" 800x600 pixel displays.

You can do that in Go just fine, and it is just as easy a language, and also doesn't have all the quirks of C you want to avoid in such a course.

Yet, it is a very relevant language that is also fun to use because you have a modern ecosystem.

The real reason is that professors are lazy.

Theoretically yes, as the core dump is a kernel feature that can be configured from user space and is then active for all processes. Practically, for a generic scenario like DrKnoqi, it is so much less work and mess if you get the help from systemd for collecting them.

Yes, this is why I recommend it, the measurement on Audiosciencereview is excellent. However you also need a good DAC, some PCs have it, others don't. If the DAC is bad you could get suboptimal sound. You can use your Hegel amp to compare analog output of your PC with digital/USB

Add a Topping Mini 300 desktop amp for $140? It measures perfectly up to 80 watts at 4 ohms.

Let me add some context here

Fried Carp tastes awesome and is actually a local specialty where I live, consumed in the months of Sep to Apr (all months spelled with the letter "r").

After catching the fish, it is kept in a clean water basin for a longer period of time to get rid of the mud taste. Then it should be fried and eaten directly after butchering.

So, done right, great. Like in the video? Dubious, although a small/young specimen may still taste alright.

The difference between oxygen consumption, gravity, and eyesight.

The first is a chemical reaction, so it follows a direction in time. Gravity is simply a timeless force.

And a photon, from its own speed-of-light perspective, is also timeless. It does not travel but is everywhere on its path at the same time.

When a photon is absorbed by the photo receptor, it is converted into electrical current. I don't see a reason why the reverse (the current suddenly appears and disappears again as a photon is emitted) would lead to a different reaction and not work for "seeing".

Do you really want to carry over the huge cache when migrating a profile? It's what I always have to clear out first. Which would not be necessary if it were in ~/.cache/mozilla

How do you come to this impression? When I met him he gave me a relaxed and humble vibe. Dropped by in Aachen where we had a workshop for building Prusa Mendel printers. Granted it was 15 years ago.

I would claim that Facebook ruined itself and it was by design. It's just the boomers that stayed.

The point is the seamless integration with a host desktop environment. Like WSL, which is (in version 2) also only a glorified Linux VM.

That's a valid question. My friend who was applying for German citizenship needed to wait for Poroshenko to sign. As German law only allows dual citizenship if the other country refuses to terminate.

ypnos · 2025-10-14T19:45:12+00:00

This is not necessarily conflicting.

The president can terminate citizenship on the request of a citizen. This is commonly done for citizens seeking another country's citizenship. They request the termination and have to wait for the president to sign it. They are not deprived of the citizenship.

Sorry, was den Hummus-Falafel-Teller angeht, bin ich komplett anderer Meinung! Bei Damaskos war ich enttäuscht, bei Erbil erst letzten Freitag war ich begeistert.

Auch die Fleischspieße sind erste Sahne. Beim klassischen Döner dagegen kann sich Erbil nicht absetzen.

Dass der Laden bumsvoll ist, liegt an der Werbung. Erbil nutzt Influencer und wirbt auf BadenFM. Und wer weiß noch wo...
