Any #Fedora users who have experienced this?
I’ve been using regular Workstation with #Gnome, but lately have become #Sway curious.
On my gaming computer, I’ve successfully improved game performance by increasing screen refresh rate, allowing screen tearing, and I have emulated #caffeine behavior by using inhibit_idle for fullscreen windows.
My next issue is that some games - for example #DirtRally2 - have occasional bouts of distorted/crackling sound in #SwayWM but not in Gnome.
Are there any obvious things to look for? My personal hypothesis is that sound buffers may be too small in some situations where CPU usage increases, but that’s just a wild guess.

I'm also doing some little experiments for potential future #basing on off-brand 25mm bases I had lying around (I won't build an army, but various different kinds of small teams).
First an organic look with the "mix superglue in PVA" method (middle: liquid superglue, right: gel superglue).
The left one will become another try with crackling.

I just finished printing another panel for my #multiboard workbench overhaul. It's super-quiet in my office, so after it finished printing, the print bed is cooling.
It's... very quietly crackling and settling as it cools and separates from t build plate.
It's like sitting next to a cozy fire.

Plane, Clouds, Moon, Spots, Sun
* Image Credit & Copyright: Doyle and Shannon SliferExplanation:
What's that in front of the Sun? The closest object is an airplane, visible just below the Sun's center and caught purely by chance. Next out are numerous clouds in Earth's atmosphere, creating a series of darkened horizontal streaks. Farther out is Earth's Moon, seen as the large dark circular bite on the upper right. Just above the airplane and just below the Sun's surface are sunspots. The main sunspot group captured here, AR 2192, was in 2014 one of the largest ever recorded and had been crackling and bursting with flares since it came around the edge of the Sun a week before. This show of solar silhouettes was unfortunately short-lived. Within a few seconds the plane flew away. Within a few minutes the clouds drifted off. Within a few hours the partial solar eclipse of the Sun by the Moon was over. Fortunately, when it comes to the Sun, even unexpected alignments are surprisingly frequent. Perhaps one will be imaged this Saturday when a new partial solar eclipse will be visible from much of North and South America.https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap231008.html

On a more cheerful note, @ChrisMayLA6 suggested Little Sunflower by Cayenne as his final selection for his #JazzIntro listing. I could only find it on YouTube, but it sounded interesting so I splurged a tenner on a vinyl copy.
It arrived this afternoon; needed a bit of a clean to get rid of some crackling, but that's no problem.
It's a good wee LP, I think well produced/engineered; and fortunately, The Postie agrees. Now playing side two for her listening entertainment... 😉Ta ProfDJ!

Oh, I wrote such a lengthy commit message, its gone. Rewritten sox and play system, now it uses a named pipe. Still no luck on Mac with timing and de crackling of the sound. Ideas welcome. #coding #ham #amateurfunk #morse #morsen #bash # shell -
Hubby Ally and I thought it’d be fun to perform Abba’s Mamma Mia as a ballad. I really love this take on the old classic. Recorded on one of our annual holidays on a remote hilltop in the Lake District, with a crackling real fire in the background.

I am not cross at all these words (some I am even glad to learn!) but a few earned an angry face drawn next to the clue.
smew - a small duck I am unlikely to ever see myself 😢
amah - nursemaid in India
erose - eaten away (suspiciously thin entry in Wiktionary)
sloe - aka blackthorn, a wild plum (relative of roses!)
ameba - who spells amoeba this way!?
rale - crackling noise from the chest, though seldom used in singular#CrossAtWords #crosswords #definitions #WordMeanings #EnglishLanguage

just to explain a lil further why I researched PCIe passthru on Proxmox yet again last night:
after learning that another of my friends is seriously affected by environmental noise, I'm experimenting with masking noise over speakers (not headphones or earbuds). this has been an on-and-off focus of mine since I was in college long ago.
anyway, having forgotten the last 3 times I did this, I hooked a USB audio device up to my music+audio VM and ran into the crackling problems I did before. USB passthru in Proxmox just can't meet the needs of live audio. so I looked further into PCIe passthru to see if there was a way to break up the giant IOMMU groups offered by my highly-integrated mini PC, without using a kernel patch which does so by introducing a giant security hole.
there is something called PCIe Access Control Service (ACS) which can break up the IOMMU groups, but as best I can tell it's not supported by the HP EliteDesk Mini 805 G8 and/or the Ryzen 5750GE APU. this ends my quest for PCIe passthru.
so I'm now using Bluetooth to a speaker 2 feet from the server, because somehow, USB passthru of a *Bluetooth* transceiver in #Proxmox can do audio just fine, whereas passthru of a basic USB DAC cannot. 🙄 #VFIO

#Fire is still burning steadily & provided some beautiful ambient light & warmth - for our food shares gathering. We enjoyed a tasty fresh fish chowder, several different salads, baked treats, homemade crackers & dip, fruits, cold cuts & artisan breads.
The #sounds of quiet convos, crackling fire & hundreds of #frogs singing; such a #peaceful & #healing environment 💗❤️💗

Throat – Blood Exaltation Review
By Dear Hollow
I’m gonna sound like an absolute madman when I say this, but Blood Exaltation is what I wanted Ad Nauseam’s Imperative Imperceptible Impulse to be. Poland’s Throat is neither dissonant nor death metal, and their aesthetic resides in tired and trve approaches of blackened occultism and evil in the shadow of religious alienation. However, there is a distinct and tantalizing array of clattering and creaking, a dusty and organic quality that settles like hard night on an old church, the tension of ancient voices crackling through haunted halls. The promo makes comparisons to Cultes des Ghoules, Necromantia, and early Samael in this unholy union of second-wave intensity with ancient occultism. Throat creaks and rattles and vomits its blackened witchery across Blood Exaltation in a surprisingly effective, if imperfect, second-wave experience.
Poland’s Throat takes cues from black metal’s unhallowed halls, perhaps unsurprisingly, and the chaos instilled in Blood Exaltation borders the Signal Rex-core blackened edginess of acts like Irae or Ancient Burial. However, the sound is described as “catacombed, ancient, unsettling,” and the existential occult dread that courses through every fiber is palpable. Blood Exaltation could technically be considered an EP, with opening songs “Chuć” and “Klątwa”1 preceding a re-release of their 2020 demo material, the two parts of “New Flesh Nectar.” While the sound quality between the two halves is stark and impacts the quality of Blood Exaltation, the songwriting is undeniably solid, lending itself to Throat’s limitless potential.
Black metal, particularly its raw inbred cousin, has a stereotype for kvlt aesthetic overcompensation and makes its corpse-painted ilk difficult to take seriously. Throat feels dangerous in ways that few can hold a candle to, such as the aforementioned Cultes des Ghoules or more recent output by Misotheist or Leviathan: fiery and intense but willing to dwell in its existential devastation. Both halves of Blood Exaltation feel fresh, frantic and intense but fluid in jaggedness and discomfort. “Chuć” embraces the unhinged vocal quality of Amnutseba in a feral combination of shrieks, shouts, moans, and howls alongside the shifting sands of raw chords and punk beats that slow down for the satisfying doom-influenced conclusion, while more atmospheric pulses and room noise saturate the negative spaces of “Klątwa” alongside a satisfying groove. While much rawer, the two parts of “New Flesh Nectar” feel like apt conclusions to the newer tracks, with more aggressive percussion and vicious death growls dominating alongside epic and victorious chord progressions with sinister melodic flourishes. Throat do what they can to ensure that the two disparate soundscapes are reconciled through a progression that encompasses the whole album.
The most glaring issue with Blood Exaltation is that, despite their best efforts, the two halves are jarringly disparate in sound. “Chuć” and “Klątwa” are darker and cleaner, with wild vocals and bass more pronounced, while raw black tropes dominate the two parts of “New Flesh Nectar” alongside a more traditional blackened screech with sparse death growls. While the songwriting attempts to smoothen this divide, Throat can do very little to remedy it without a solid rerecording of the New Flesh Nectar demo. As it stands, it nearly singlehandedly keeps Blood Exaltation from excellence despite the more dynamic songwriting of the “New Flesh Nectar” duo. On a more nitpicking level, some passages of “Chuć” are repeated too long, while the intro of “Klątwa” denotes the track as atmospheric before slapping you with a blazing riff. As is the case for this style of ugly music, and even more so for this creaking and groaning interpretation of black metal, it will not be for everyone. Blood Exaltation is caustic and unforgiving, eerie and dense, and requires myriad listens to breach the veil.
Throat ultimately makes one hell of an impression with Blood Exaltation, creating a breed of black metal that remains neatly within the lanes of the style while also twisting it into a terrifying, ancient sound. Its excellence is derailed by the soundscape differences between the new tracks and the inclusion of the New Flesh Nectar demo, but nevertheless feels raw, punishing, and amorphous in ways that recall the genre greats as well as other styles, including Ad Nauseam. Black metal ought to be terrifying again, and Throat makes a fantastic case for it.

Clutch 1: Holly, holly, holly!
One of the difficulties for this project is deciding which colour is to be on the inside and the outside.
I think this combi works but would like to see if the green was on the outside instead.I really like the crackling red glass beads and feel they complement well with this clutch ❤️
Maybe using smaller beads will make the project look better too.
Wished I found a lighter cotton yarn to complement the shiny grey yarn but ah well.

Just catching up with last week's #MasterChefUK after being on holiday.
Sorry, Tom, you simply cannot have a pork chop served *that* rare. Half of the (very minimal) serving is unrendered fat, it's virtually raw pork fat and you've left the best part off, ie: the crackling.Sorry mate.

Guess who woke up sick? Argh. At least I’m testing negative. Staying in my room anyway. HEPA filters are blasting around the house. I hope it’s just a cold, but even those leave me sick for months sometimes and land me in emergency. My voice is very hoarse and my ears are crackling a little. If it’s a cold, I hope it doesn’t go down into my chest. #RespiratoryDisease #MaskUp

@Ladee Haha I did the same when I developed that concept! I researched some fish and eel especially.
Yess, they can totally to that! #Karyta use their bioluminescence for communication too (their body markings can glow). I imagine them floating in darkness, holding on to each other with hair, hands and tails like a network of bodies, pulsing light in unison and electric currents crackling through the water. A dangerous event for any other to encounter ~

"W-wait, so you can enlarge us?"
"Only the deserving, man of Kandor."
"If I do this, will you--also at least enlarge my...family?"
Kara rose and stared him down, eyes crackling red. "Are you questioning a member of the Science caste?"
"NO! No no. Ha ha no."

I've had dreams/visions of the coming times... What the Hopi referred to as #PurifcationDay. Will you defend #MotherEarth? If I am to sacrifice myself for a single cause, it would be to defend #LifeOnEarth. It is the one thing I know for certain....
"I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carouselI want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
... Cuts through"Will you lay all of your
Deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!"Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
And he led me like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
... Cuts through"
