Hello fellows
Could someone please confirm an issue I’m having? When I connect to a remote
ssh host in mc, it always shows the seconds of files’ mtime to be 0. That
way, I can’t use mc to properly compare directories, because even if a file
has the same timestamp on both sides, one side appears yo

Hello esteemed readers
After four years in the making, I finally built a new machine. \o/ It's an
H97-based board with an ALC892 audio chip. The necessities work, but I'm
having problems with the out-of-the-box audio setup. After fixing the card

Hey peeps
I was wondering whether any of you has made any experience with the Opus
media format yet. It’s the new wonder audio codec with superb quality
even at very low bitrates.
I converted a 200 MB podcast MP3 from 128 kbps stereo to 24 kbps mono

can be found at the bottom, they show increases from 15 to mo
Hey list
sporadically, I have problems with alsa on my netbook. After booting,
alsamixer does not show a PCM channel. So I fire up cmus, start playing
and then the channel appears.
The other problem is that sometimes I can't change volume of the PCM
channel, neither in cmus nor with alsamixer. I
