[2026-02-22T06:41:07Z] it's absolutely incredible that modern PCs don't include a 4-pin speaker [2026-02-22T06:41:14Z] outstanding [2026-02-22T06:41:16Z] fucking love it [2026-02-22T06:41:27Z] please take away one of if not the only reliable way of troubleshooting shit [2026-02-22T06:43:23Z] everything just feels like such a fucking pain these days, ugh [2026-02-22T12:46:05Z] sox is cool as fuck' [2026-02-22T12:46:11Z] shell script music for my game written in bash [2026-02-22T13:26:00Z] midfavila: Why don't you get a college degree in CS or EE? It costs barely anything in Canada and with your skillset you could easily get an embedded software engineer role offer. I doubt you even seek a 6-digit yearly income. You'd write C and VHDL. [2026-02-22T13:26:40Z] Though that also means being a cog for a defense contractor. [2026-02-22T22:12:10Z] kris_: ew, bash. althugh, what is this sox you talk about? sh music player sounds intriguing [2026-02-22T22:12:33Z] it has a synth [2026-02-22T22:13:08Z] https://github.com/chirlu/sox [2026-02-22T22:13:10Z] i think it's this? [2026-02-22T22:13:15Z] ill grab you the source link in a bit [2026-02-22T22:17:26Z] seems like it. although it seems to initally be housed at sourceforge. [2026-02-22T22:17:45Z] void pulls it from the sourceforge [2026-02-22T22:18:03Z] but you can basically, [2026-02-22T22:18:14Z] play -n synth 0.5 sine C4 fade 0 0.5 0.05 [2026-02-22T22:18:26Z] which will play a C4 note for 0.5 seconds and then fade at the end to prevent popping [2026-02-22T22:18:30Z] oh, and also, I discovered something midly.. impressive the other day. retroarch seems supprisingly easy to package. according to the readme, I also dont belive it requires mesa. which is kinda nice [2026-02-22T22:18:34Z] hm, neat [2026-02-22T22:18:59Z] so, in theory, if you wanted to make some oldschool style game music, you could just "for note in C4 E4 G4 C5" etc [2026-02-22T22:20:22Z] dope [2026-02-22T22:20:33Z] retroarch is pretty cool [2026-02-22T22:20:39Z] i have it on my phone [2026-02-22T22:22:16Z] I do too. im just waiting for this bracket thing for my dualsense controller, so I can avoid playing with my phone in my lap, which is awefull for my neck after some time [2026-02-22T22:22:41Z] apparently you are another person who needs a 3d printer [2026-02-22T22:22:51Z] I even tried eden on my phone, the switch emulator. buut my phone isnt beefy enough. I got like 15-18 fps. even at 240p lol [2026-02-22T22:23:02Z] I would love that, but Im not sure where to put it [2026-02-22T22:23:12Z] i havent tried switch emu but my phone does wii/gamecube rather well [2026-02-22T22:23:17Z] but yes, honestly, a 3d printer would probably simplfiy my life [2026-02-22T22:23:51Z] yeah, mine too. I tried to get cemu on android aswell, but I keep getting an error, so the games just crash. seems to be app related somehwo [2026-02-22T22:23:57Z] cemu is wii U emulator in case you didnt know [2026-02-22T22:24:27Z] i havent really figured out a good emulation solution [2026-02-22T22:24:38Z] if im at my desktop, im gonna wanna use my desktop, meaning different saves between devices [2026-02-22T22:25:02Z] ive been playing old tony hawk games on my phone latetly, I love it. now im considering getting a proper handheld. but they can get pretty expensive if you want something more powerfull [2026-02-22T22:25:09Z] i toyed around with game streaming over waypipe yesterday [2026-02-22T22:25:10Z] you can sync retroarch saves though [2026-02-22T22:25:17Z] interesting [2026-02-22T22:25:32Z] and yeah a proper handheld kinda just means a steam deck [2026-02-22T22:25:37Z] although you have to do so manually [2026-02-22T22:25:57Z] nah, I think the steamdeck is too clunky really. im looking more into an android device instead [2026-02-22T22:26:15Z] with winlator, gamenative and gamehub lite, we can even play pc games now [2026-02-22T22:26:27Z] yeah some guy got iw4x running playably on android the other day [2026-02-22T22:26:34Z] i need to try that with my phone, actually wild [2026-02-22T22:26:37Z] technically making x86 devices somewhat redundant [2026-02-22T22:26:39Z] ikr [2026-02-22T22:27:04Z] the new ayn odin 3, among other devices can play cyberpunk 2077 too. which is kinda wild [2026-02-22T22:27:15Z] and its not even barely running. its actually running quite decently [2026-02-22T22:27:53Z] idk i'd like a game streaming solution that doesn't suck [2026-02-22T22:28:14Z] steam remote play doesnt work for me because it requires you leave a monitor turned on, with your WM running, not at the lockscreen [2026-02-22T22:28:16Z] same issue with sunshine [2026-02-22T22:28:31Z] waypipe doesnt have this issue but it does not work well over WAN whatsoever, for LAN it's seemingly better than steams thing [2026-02-22T22:28:35Z] I get that. sometimes thats just a better solution. I like having everything on-device though [2026-02-22T22:28:39Z] hm. I see [2026-02-22T22:28:50Z] waypipe is kinda nuts [2026-02-22T22:29:02Z] i can just "waypipe ssh kris@desktop -- dbus-run-session sway" [2026-02-22T22:29:08Z] and get a remote desktop just like that, over SSH [2026-02-22T22:29:15Z] sweet [2026-02-22T22:29:25Z] *for wayland* it's kinda nuts, i mean [2026-02-22T22:29:34Z] compiling it was a bit of a pain though, gotta love rust [2026-02-22T22:29:57Z] ofc its written in rust lol [2026-02-22T22:30:31Z] void has the old ass no longer maintained C implementation packaged and they have the rust build disabled [2026-02-22T22:30:41Z] which is kind of annoying because the rust build has features that are needed for steam to work like this [2026-02-22T22:34:13Z] isnt this typical void? being way far behind [2026-02-22T22:54:11Z] kind of [2026-02-22T22:54:25Z] i mean i dont blame them its a lot of packages [2026-02-22T22:54:36Z] but void loves to let PRs just sit [2026-02-22T22:54:44Z] which makes sense given someone tests it [2026-02-22T22:54:47Z] but still [2026-02-22T23:08:10Z] I get that proper testing is wanted, but really, letting PR's just sit is annoying... this kinda makes me miss using pure kiss, as opposed to using oasis+kiss.. mcf is busy, so PR's just sit there, and he doesnt really work on it. while I get that updating things all the time is also annoying. I use to do it earlier, and I felt like all I did, almost every day, was to bump packages, and build. [2026-02-22T23:08:12Z] it kinda kept me from doing what I actually wanted to do [2026-02-22T23:15:11Z] void isn't really like, problematic with how old things get *most* of the time [2026-02-22T23:15:38Z] but i have a collection of things ive packaged locally that i won't bother trying to upstream [2026-02-22T23:16:56Z] I get that. but its still annoying when you put in the work, everything look a ok, its tested, yet its not being merged [2026-02-22T23:24:09Z] void is in a bit of an odd spot because things have to work on so many different cpu architectures [2026-02-22T23:32:07Z] I get that, but seeing as alpine does it, and faster even afaik, Im kinda har pressed to belive voids situation is any different here. appart from perhaps less maintaners perhaps?
