c/AskTheWorld - International community for asking interesting questions for everyone around the globe (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello. I created a community that is intended to replicate a subreddit I always enjoyed going through. This community is intended to be a more specialised version of asklemmy where you ask questions for which the answers are (hopefully) heavily dependent on where you're from. We do allow politics for now, but it cannot solely focus on a single country. ("Who is the most hated president in your country" is allowed, but "what do you think of <a politician>" is not)

What are some grammar rules in your language that not even the natives get it right? (sh.itjust.works)
 

My first language is Korean, and one rule no one gets right is the spacing. It seems pretty obvious in English and many other languages, but in Korean, there are things that look like a single word but is actually two separate words (and vice versa), particles which needs to be written without spacing, and some other rules that makes it confusing. It's bad enough that one of the former director of the National Institute of Korean Language confessed he's not confident about it either.

SO MANY MIKUS (Ilsan Comic World) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've just been to Ilsan comic world event, and holy shit there were SO MANY OF THEM! There was at least one Miku stuff at just about every single stall, and choosing which to buy was really hard. A lot of high quality cosplayers too, and I took photo with them too. I did dress a bit too as Kagamine Len, but I really got to work on makeup. A lot.

One of the stalls was selling her ID card alongside many, many other people 😭 literal identity theft

Playing sound into microphone for voice chat shenanigans (skew.ch)
 

I've been playing ARC Raiders, and seeing people playing music into their microphone got me to find a way to do that on Linux. Fortunately, it doesn't take much to set it up, but it took me couple of days to piece that commands together. I wrote a post about it, and I figured people here may find this useful.

TLDR: Bind these scripts to a key

Setup Script

src=alsa_input.usb-Samsung_Samsung_USB_C_Earphones_20160406.1-00.analog-stereo; # Sets the microphone name
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Combined sink_properties=device.description="Combines-real-mic-with-sound-effects"; # Create a virtual device
pactl load-module module-loopback source=$src sink=Combined; # Make microphone play sound into the virtual device

Toggle Microphone Script

dev=alsa_input.usb-Samsung_Samsung_USB_C_Earphones_20160406.1-00.analog-stereo
vol=$(pactl get-source-volume $dev | grep -o '[0-9]\+%' | head -n1 | tr -d '%')

if [ "$vol" -eq 0 ]; then
    pactl set-source-volume $dev 100%
else
    pactl set-source-volume $dev 0%
fi

Play Sound Script

# Optionally add "pkill paplay" so that sound can never overlap
paplay --device=Combined --volume 30000 <Path to the file you want to play>
# Optionally repeat the same command but without the --device flag so you know what's being played in the microphone

Kill All Sound Being Played

pkill paplay

List of scholarly publishing stings (en.wikipedia.org)
 

List of papers that were accepted because reviewers didn't see them properly. Yes, the "Get me off your fucking mailing list" is one of them. My favourite besides that is the one that lists the writer's dog as the author.

Author NM said "waouf" when the authors started to doubt (doubts are common in science, don’t let them win you over, believe in yourself and what you do, don’t let anyone distract you from the truth you know).

[niri] Almost one year with NixOS! (sh.itjust.works)
 

It's been a year since I started using NixOS. I feel like I've added enough stuff to my desktop, but every now and then, there's just that one thing I want to automate. My workflow is almost entirely keyboard driven!

My config source code is available, including my servers'. You can find them here.

Yes, my config is almost at 10k lines. Definitely over that if I include my Emacs config. 10k lines

I found this very cool project called wlr-which-key. It allows you to have vim-like bindings outside vim. wlr-which-key

Music player I am working on. I couldn't find a TUI music player that works with OpenSubsonic. My music player

  • Window manager: niri
  • Top bar: ags, source available here!
  • Cursor: Miku cursor
  • Editor: Nixvim (Neovim configured with Nix)
  • Music player: Feishin (The one I am working on doesn't support Mpris yet)
  • Programs in the screenshot: kitty + bash (terminal), xfreerdp + dockur (Windows in Linux), fnott + KDEConnect (notification in the corner)
