É isso. Eu, tapado, pensei que era hoje.

Death Angel's best album without a doubt. That is, unless you prefer more modern-sounding thrash.

Sonos is rumored to be building a streaming box running The Trade Desk’s OS.

This guys more punk than me. (FF to 5:30 for that part)

NOFX has been the band I’ve listened to the longest, without a question. I’ve been listening to Fat Mike screech since the mid nineties. They’re my overall fave I think. Idgaf if there’s more p-rock bands out there, I’ve always liked these guys. Fat Mike is a great lyricist. He write catchy, simple lyrics with some depth to them. They just recently did their last tour, they say.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”

In short:

The Israeli government has expressed outrage at Australia's decision to deny a visa to Israel's former justice minister Ayelet Shaked.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke's office confirmed her visa application had been rejected, without specifying why.

What's next?

In a video message posted by AIJAC, Ms Shaked promised Australia's Jewish community that she would visit "in a better days".

Summary

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz announced he will not return to Congress after withdrawing as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations.

Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, cited personal goals and his desire to support Trump from outside elected office.

He denied the allegations, which include claims of paying a minor for sex, calling them false.

A special election will be held on April 1, 2025, to fill his seat, leaving House Republicans with a slimmer majority.

Gaetz hinted at continuing involvement in Trump’s political movement.

Summary

The sentencing in Donald Trump’s Manhattan hush-money case has been postponed indefinitely following his 2024 presidential election victory.

Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump’s legal team to file their dismissal argument by December 2, with prosecutors responding a week later.

Trump’s attorneys argue that as president-elect, he is immune from prosecution and claim the case is politically motivated.

Prosecutors oppose outright dismissal, suggesting proceedings could be deferred until Trump’s presidency ends.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records linked to hush-money payments during the 2016 election.

I just tooled around on sites for the top-ranked Futurama episodes, and no two media outlets even had similar lists. I was wondering what it would look like with a small group of diehard fans here.

Once the votes stop coming in, (assuming they start) I'll tabulate the results.

Just give up to 5 episodes in a comment and we'll see if any of the different outlets got it right.

4 strokes under my personal best!

Does anyone have a rag?

I have a "Dell Inc. Latitude 5290 2-in-1", and it comes with a stereo microphone array that, by default, has a gain that is way too extreme.

A value of 100% is screeching / over-blasted to any listener, while a value of 25% is most reasonable.

Thus, I wanted to limit the gain of the microphones through PipeWire.

I created the following WirePlumber configuration file.

# For "Dell Inc. Latitude 5290 2-in-1"
# The analog input array is way too loud

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      # This matches the value of the 'node.name' property of the node.
      {
       	node.name = "alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.description        = "Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 Stereo Microphone"
        channelmix.min-volume   = 0.0
        channelmix.max-volume   = 0.25
        channelmix.normalize    = true
      }
    }
  }
]

I know this is applying to the correct node, because executing wpctl status shows that the node description has been properly changed.

The problem is that the "channelmix.max-volume" is not applied as I expect it to be. I expect it to make it so that 25% max volume is the new 100%, Instead it seems to do nothing.

What am I doing wrong, and how can I achieve what I want?

Edit 1: Channel Mix is working, but it seems the "Volume" as of wpctl get-volume is referring to gain. Essentially Channel Mix is making it quieter, but the gain because of "Volume" is nonsensical.
