...the first Framework Laptop 12 motherboard is going to use Intel's 13th-generation Core i3 and i5 processors

I _really_ hope they launch an AMD version (perhaps with an iGPU) soon after that. That and preferably with Libreboot support. This would make it the ideal portable laptop for me and thus I'd be able to (finally!) replace my X220T.

As long as private trackers have absurd seeding rules and require you to sign up (initially) without your VPN active, I won't be touching them with a ten foot socket.

I think you have to have WSL for this to work, but this is how I do it on Linux with Xorg:

  sleep 3 ; xdotool type --delay 5 "$(xclip -selection c -o)"  ## Force-paste the secondary paste buffer (Ctrl+Shift+c)

Thanks for the pw-profiler recommendation, wasn't aware of that one.

I believe the Pro Audio profile [0] (which I'm using) doesn't resample by default.

Using pw-top, I noticed that something was causing xruns [1] (see ERR column) though I was unsure what that was. Since the Pro Audio profile uses the IRQ mechanism, I looked at interrupts [2] but couldn't spot anything unusual. There is however irq/16-mmc0 process which is at times causing significant (>50%) CPU usage, so I think I need to unload the sdcard module and see if that fixes anything.

First however I think I'll try a newer kernel (linux-lowlatency-hwe-22.04, which according to apt search is on 6.2.0.1017.17~22.04.14 as opposed to the current 5.15.0-89-lowlatency that ships with Ubuntu 22.04)

I hope the pro audio side gets a bit more love. I've installed PW for the first time on my Ubuntu 22.04 (through https://pipewire-debian.github.io/pipewire-debian/) and so far have been experiencing high CPU usage on Bitwig Studio v5.0.11 when trying to send audio from and to my Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6, and I have no idea what the culprit might be.

I'm going to try a bunch of stuff and hopefully be able to take advantage of this wonderful technology (that has already come _so_ far!)

I should probably document my troubleshooting ventures. Does anyone know a nice hosted blog that supports Markdown / CommonMark and RSS syndication? Is Substack a good option?

Wait, isn't one of the benefits of such federation that (the equivalent of) subreddits _don't_ live on one specific instance? So if an instance goes down for whatever reason, that subreddit still maintains its existence since it's shared across other instances.

I look at it this way: I'm a noob. I learn the things I do because I've genuinely developed an interest and understanding of how technology can improve my life and that of others.

A Raspberry Pi home automation server running Alpine, a load-balanced OpenBSD router... I make some projects which are considered a hobby for now.

But how would you convey this to a recruiter with limited to no understanding of technology? How would it even look like to a recruiter if someone like me was trying to get a foot in the door?

This is where certs might come in handy. I may not become an expert overnight, but at least it shows that I'm willing to focus and learn the material required to pass a cert.
