Clarification: I normally physically log on to and play media on host A using mpv, displaying the video on an external monitor HDMI-A-2 and playing the audio from host A's headphone jack connected to external speakers. Today, I tried not physically logging on to host A, but remotely logging in from host B (my phone) using ssh from the same network and running the mpv command from host B. mpv then displays the video on the expected display HDMI-A-2, but it doesn't play any audio.
Symptomatically, if I haven't logged on physically to host A, mpv only displays video, plays no audio and throws errors. Why do I need to be physically logged on to host A for mpv to be able to access audio? You'd think a video feed would be more guarded than an audio one. But maybe this isn't about security at all? Please enlighten me! 😊

Can we control an ssd temperature by throttling it somehow, like we can do with cpus?
(piefed.social)
I got a pc that suffers from severe heating problems because of its poorly designed passive cooling case. I tried several strategies to put temperature under control, did a lot of tests with thermald, but ended up hacking a fan into the case. However, I still have problems with ssd temperatures.
Right now, as I write this, the nvme ssd is at 67ºC and easily goes beyond 80 or 90 during data transfers. I already lost 2 ssds before realizing this was the problem, because I was controlling just the cpu temperature.
There's no physical way to force airflow where the ssd is, so I was wondering if there's some way to throttle data transfer of something to prevent the ssd temperatures from reaching a threshold. All I could find was a vibecoded github repository. I don't care if data transfer gets ridiculously slow, as long as the ssd remain safe, and I can't consider getting any new hardware right now.
I'm currently running fedora 44 on that machine
Edit: I thought there was an easier software mitigation to that, but apparently, solutions will tend to the hardware side, so here are the hardware details:
- It's an unbranded chinese cheap mini pc with a heat dissipation case that doesn't dissipate well
- The ssd is mounted on the back of the motherboard. The model is a sandisk M.2 1TB 2280
Here's a photo of the case, for the reference (don't judge me lol):

[SOLVED] Any way to make commands in bash scripts in the Linux terminal accept whitespace characters?
(piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)
Edit2: Solved! Thank you all! 🥰 I was supposed to put quotation marks around the command argument variable/substitute within the script, as in scanimage -d [device] –format=png -p -o “$1”
Edit: turns out it's not the accented character, but the whitespace character in front of július.png, since the script doesn't accept julius.png either.
#!/bin/bash
# name of the script is SCAN.bash
scanimage -d [device] --format=png -p -o $1
I have tried ' ', " " and to escape it with \
./SCAN 'anyu 1988 július.png'
./SCAN "anyu 1988 július.png"
./SCAN anyu\ 1988\ július.png
But it throws argument without option. It works fine if I type it out instead of scripting.
The target language is Hungarian and I have generated the necessary locale.
