It's an older PC, a P4 I use as a radio streamer mostly, so the install is x86. The problem is, audio seems to play back faster. I have it set up to boot up the streaming application after boot (Tuner, about 20 seconds after boot since it uses a spinning IDE HDD, so the rig is slow on boot) and sometimes (rarely) everything will be fine, the playback speed will be fine. But, most of the time, the audio plays back faster. In some rare cases, I've also noticed it can play slower as well. Also, if the audio is fine after Tuner starts and you change radio streams, back to square one, it starts playing the audio faster. I tried running other applications, like VLC and Audacious to see if the same thing is happening in them. Yep, the same thing. I still haven't tried Winamp with wine. I still use PulseAudio on that rig. I didn't see a reason to switch since it did it's job, I don't really need anything fancy on it, just a workable audio out was all I needed. Also, I have no idea when this actually started happening (everything worked fine when I set it up a few years ago, 1.5 or 2 years ago I think) since I haven't used it in a while as a streamer, but I needed to use it now. I thought it might be a kernel/driver bug, so I rolled back a snapshot a few months ago (I think a snapshot that still had some 5.x version of the kernel), and it did kinda work (the fast playback speeds were less sporadic) but it didn't eliminate the problem completely. Please, tell me what commands to run on this thing, I'll do it and post the output. It uses an onboard audio card, some old Intel card part of the chipset I think. Here is the output from lspci regarding the audio. `Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)` I'm thinking PulseAudio is so outdated now that it causes problems like these on certain chipsets/audio controllers, but I'm not sure. I know I'll have to eventually switch to PipeWire, but I was hoping I could ride the PulseAudio train a little longer.

This platform could be a viable alternative for forums (cuz we know in which state they currently are), but the lack of general attachments (any mime/file type) is what I believe stands in the way. I have an electronics forum I run (a local one, nothing too serious) and I believe Lemmy can make it more intereactive (not die out) because people from all over the world will get the feed and not just people that are online on the forum at that time. Still, we frequently exchange PDFs, schematics (not always in image form), archives, etc., which makes Lemmy useless if there are no plans to implement something like this, even if disabled by default. So, are there plans for anything like this being implemented?

At first, I thought it was just a temporary glitch or something, but a few days pass and I still can't comment from any if my accounts (I have 5, 2 are on this instance). And I think it's only exclusive to the Main community, not any other community... the weird thing is, I tried from 4 accounts, the 2 on this instance and another 2, none of them can comment. In particular, I wanted to reply after this comment. https://readit.buzz/m/main@sh.itjust.works/t/15368/-/comment/113606 Every time it just returns a "language_not_allowed" error. This in Jerboa, I haven't tried commenting from the web UI. EDIT: Now this is interesting. I'm in the web UI now and if I follow the link I shared in this post, it says it's a KBin instance and asks for my login credentials. I noticed there is something funky with the URL and I really have no idea how I'm following this community through KBin 🤨. EDIT2: OK, I pinpointed the problem. The link to the reply leads to KBin because the reply is from a KBin user account. I can't seem to be able to reply to that particular comment (seems I can reply to anything that is from a Lemmy instance, but not KBin). Here's the post. https://sh.itjust.works/post/308065 Now scroll down and find a comment from a user named ScrumblesPAbernathy and try to reply to that comment, see if you get the same error as me (language_not_allowed in Jerboa, or just hangs in the web UI). EDIT3: OK, the solution to the problem was to select English as the language in which you wanna write the reply. There is no such option in Jerboa (yet), but the web UI has it and if you just select English, the reply goes through.

Not really networking related (kinda... sorta...), but just had to share it. I think his granma did it 😂. Thinking about calling her on my next networking gig, lol 😂.

Exactly what the title says. I'm not a native English speaker, so almost everything regarding auto-correct and word suggestions is turned off, except for grammar and speeling checks, that is set to underline. Underlining works in every other app, except Jerboa. Why is that?

I wouldn't like to actually block a community all together here, but yeah, I would like to see less posts of that community. Is there a way to do this, either in Jerboa or the web UI?

I have an account on that instance and naturally, I can view all of the communities on that instance, but when I search communities from this account, it doesn't return any results from that instance. Likewise, in a browser, I log in with this account and try to open a link to a post on that instance and it just says that I need to log in in order to post. 🤷

1) Lemmy doesn't support videos, does it? 2) How does PostreSQL handle the emojis, like utf8mb4 or html? This one is out of curiosity 😂.
