I'm usung an adapted version of this method to allow my computer to take breaks while creating volumes, as Truecrypt bogs down my CPU and eats RAM.  Now I can just make a tiny volume and use dd several times to grow it while I'm not in need of the RAM it gobbles up.

OSS is basicly depricated in the linux kernel. AND its getting removed from the kernel in the upcomming versions… in 2.6.22 it has been announced that OSS is getting removed.

Alsa has OSS emulation, but this is what shall we call it a workaround for old applications to function. nice enough. But then we have teamspeak.

TeamSpeak has only OSS support, and does not support some of the writing schemes that alsa supports, like DMIX, dmix allows people with cheap soundcards have the ability to play multiplial streams at the same time, exactly how i do with my Audigy 2.

Don’t get me wrong, i am greatfull that we have teamspeak for linux, and i wish that ventrilo did the same for their client.
but we do have a large amount of annoyances that can be a pain in the butt.

]]> Comment on Rest In Peace Cole by DjMadness http://www.solidonline.dk/blog/rest-in-peace-cole/#comment-7 DjMadness Thu, 05 Apr 2007 00:20:29 +0000 http://new3.solidonline.dk/?p=90#comment-7 Me and Cole go way back, i think it was 2001/2002 on LiquidIRC he was a services admin and server admin on LiquidIRC. I spent quite alot of time in #Darkchat, witch was the channel where Cole hanged out. It was also a support channel for a Shell hosting company he was securing the server for. After founding ZoomIRC along with EnigmA, i wanted to have a more stable server, so i asked Cole (i only knew him as Acer back then) and he told me Linux was the best OS to run for running IRCd's. At this point, i basicly knew nothing about how to compile or anything under linux. I had only used the GUI and startx under redhat (though Corel Linux had autostart on X) He helped me set it up with the IRCd, and propper formating of the unrealircd.conf file, due to under linux we needed to load the commands.so file aswell. (linux ran ulreal with modules support) Not long after, Captspank and Cole offered me and dXm a shell account on their server for free. This gave an addition to the *NIX servers we was running on ZoomIRC. Also again he assisted in setting it up, due to we had never setup an IRCd on a multi-homed (multi IP) system. ZoomIRC split, in half, on to FreeIRC, FreeIRC split in 1/3, i was on the 1/3 part, we had 4 users. Me, SnapShooter, dXm and Loke. I had lost contact to Cole, due to LiquidIRC had shutdown due to massive DDoS attacks on their network. At that time servers were going down all the time. And their shell providers simply denied them access to IRC. as a note LiquidIRC was a 10.000 Users IRC network. Mainly for Edonkey support (later it became Emule aswell). One day Cole showed up on our network and applied for a link. Hes server name was Wizard.TotalIRC.Net. Cole spent alot of time making TotalIRC better. He also spent time learning danish, so he could also speak danish to us. Me and Cole spent alot of time in query's (Private Message), talking about life, UNIX, goverment, family. basicly everything. I remember that Cole could get very carried away when he was writing. It was like hey stop a minnute i am still reading your second "line". while hes on hes 20th line :) We also spent alot of time on the phone. even hours in long-distant calls. talking about everything. and having a laugh. All in all, Cole has tought me alot of what i know. i hope you enjoyed your time on TotalIRC, I miss you deeply, and think of you often. Rest in peace.
