Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in Does anyone know how to execute a script when a certain sound plays?

You’re still only explaining the Y problem, not the X one. Want to solve Y? Here you go people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/docs/ also prepare to learn a lot about streams and different audio formats, etc. You might have something usable in a few weeks or months depending on how fast you’re able to learn those.

And just so we’re clear, you mentioned chromium, so I’m 99.9% sure that there are easier solutions if you tell is the actual problem you’re trying to solve. There’s a reason no one is providing you with a simple script that does this, i.e. no one has ever needed this, and whenever you’re in a situation where no one has ever needed something before you might be a visionary or you might be missing something that’s obvious for everyone that came before and had the same problem you did.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in SteamOS as your daily driver?

This is the answer, I was going to write almost word for word exactly that. OP if you mean using a Steam Deck as your daily driver, you’re probably fine, if you mean installing it on a random PC then nope, even if you get it working it will be an uphill battle constantly.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Moving away from Nextcloud AIO, where do I start setting up a Nextcloud instance WITHOUT Docker?

If you’re going to start from the default Nextcloud instead of AIO you might as well try it on docker. Setting it up is easy regardless, but if you don’t install it using docker keeping it up to date is a pain in the ass.

There’s also an emulator for the oculus quest, the moment you launch a game you understand why it wasn’t that successful and why VR was abandoned for a while.

Monochrome games are all good and fun when the screen is not a few cm from your eyes and that’s the only color you can see hahahah

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

Yeah, if you have a volume mounted on the folder where next cloud is installed it would be the same as what I mentioned. Look for anything mounting on /app that should be used from the image.

That being said be careful, if you haven’t upgraded in a long time it’s possible the automatic upgrade won’t work or might break stuff.

If the docker update doesn’t update things you might not be using docker at all. Docker is like having a VM that you destroy after every run, so it’s not that it updates the version, it is as if you were spinning up a new machine with the new version, a machine running the new version can’t be running the old version by definition, unless you did something like telling that machine to overwrite the installation folder with a local one, e.g. by having something like - /var/www/nextcloud:/var/www/nextcloud (or whatever the path is where you have next cloud installed locally) in your volumes for the docker, which would be akin to buying a new PC because your GPU is old, immediately swapping out the new GPU for the old one, and wondering why the new GPU is so slow.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

I have a Nextcloud running in docker for years, the update has always been just docker pull. After years of suffering with the native installation, and upgrade processes that never worked, I migrated to docker and it couldn’t be simpler.

This is one of the reasons every time someone says “you don’t need docker to run your server” I’m like “yes, but that’s like saying you don’t need a vehicle to travel 100km”.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in I'm enjoying Plasma 6

Why is everyone so hyped about this? As far as I remember the cube has been there since… I can’t even remember, I know KDE 3.5 had the cube but I’m not sure if it existed before, so it’s literally been there for at least two decades.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I’ve known about it for years, but my router is loaned from the ISP so I can’t install any custom OS on it (although I’ve considered buying my own for a while because I can’t even do proper DNS for my internal network on it). A while back I used to have a router, but the default OS was enough for my needs so I also never considered installing anything different.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

Hahahaha, I’ll take your advice into consideration

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Should I learn Docker or Podman?

Got it, no one should use software hosted on GitHub, you’re either a teenager who just discovered Linux a couple of years ago or a FOSS fundamentalist, in any case I’ve had the personal policy of not to waste time with either for over 20 years.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

Nevermind me, haven’t had my morning coffee yet, I read “I’ll use Wayland once they fix their compatibility bugs with i3” so was kind of confused since i3 dies not work on Wayland.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to linux in Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

I think you meant sway, i3 is a window manager written for X11.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Should I learn Docker or Podman?

Btw I don’t mean any of that as an insult or anything of the sort, I do the same with the services I install from the package manager even though I’m aware of those security flags, what they do and how to add them.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to selfhosted in Should I learn Docker or Podman?

It’s definitely much easier to do that on docker than with apt packages, and docker was designed for thst. Just do a save/load, docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/save/ and like I mentioned before this is much more stable than saving some .deb files which will break the moment one of the dependencies gets updated.

Most people will use whatever docker compose file a project shows as default, if the project hosts the images on dockerhub that’s their choice. Plus I don’t understand what’s the problem, GitHub is also proprietary and no one cares that a project is hosted there.
