I messed around with Online Tone Generator and played a 1 Hz. MB42X shown here.
Can we get some more 1 Hz clips here? (Also, would it cause damage? assuming clean sine wave)

You're not getting 1 hz out of that thing. What you're hearing is the cabinet rattling and the driver throwing out all kinds of distortion because you kept turning it up until you heard something and all the shit you shouldn't be hearing is now at an audible volume.
Yes, that can cause damage. Then again you're better off throwing those in the trash and buying good speakers anyway, so I am in favor of this.

I know we can't hear actual 1 Hz. And I didn't hear anything at all when I did this.

Let's have a thread about great Lignux applications that are all too often overlooked. I'll start.
KKEdit: A great alternative to gEdit with less cruft, that keeps the classic gtk2 gui.
- http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/kkedit-text-editor-inspired-by-bbedit.html
- http://gnomefiles.org/content/show.php?content=158161
Clam Chordata: Displays the chords of any song you feed it in real time. Super useful for learning songs that you can't find proper tabs or sheet music for anywhere.
- http://clam-project.org/wiki/Chordata_tutorial
I-Nex: Essentially CPU-Z for Lignux.
- http://i-nex.linux.pl/
Xiphos: Great Sword-based biblical text tool.
- http://xiphos.org/
Pithos: A lightweight Pandora radio client. Best on any platform I've seen.
- http://pithos.github.io/
ULMAC: An audio converter and auto-tagger for people with large collections of live music recordings.
- https://sites.google.com/site/ulmacsoftware/home
Skippy-XD: Like Expose, but for lightweight Lignux DEs like Xfce and LXDE / LXQt.

Easytag is a really good music taggin application.
Vitetris is a fun terminal game.
urxvtd is not really a single program, but not many people use it, it is a deamon for urxvt, so new urxvt windows spawn faster and use less memory.
mpd+ncmpcpp, nor really obscure but whatever, best music setup ever.
mpv, same, but just the best video player
>>

>mpd+ncmpcpp, nor really obscure but whatever, best music setup ever.
That's an half true. It's shit for people who just want to listen to music. You need to configure it (a fucking music player!!) in order to do basic tasks.
Almost nobody use the most advanced features such as listening to music remotely.
>>
>>42906205
eh, it is also good fot "just listening" to music, it uses almost no resources, you can controll mpd with a dozen of clients, or just use keystrokes. and it doesn't lag when searching through big (10000+ songs) music libraries.

Simple question - what do you use in programming and why?
Is that tabs or spaces?

Spaces are the only thing that looks consistent across editorn. Else adapt to whatever the project you're working on is using

>>42899793
tabs is faster, don't give a fuck what my hobby code looks like on some other scmuck's editor

Tabs could save a few precious kbytes, it's important if you live in the early 90s.

Have been meaning to learn to properly touch type for a long time. Do you think you can equip me with a decent guide and/or tool through which I can learn?

If you need to relearn to type anyway, learn a sane layout like Dvorak or Colemak.
Colemak is easier to learn, it keeps more keys the same as qwerty.
I personally use Dvorak, it's comfortable as fuck.
>>
>>42893310
I taught myself this way:
I forced myself to ALWAYS keep both my index fingers on the nubbed keys. Then I'd look at the keyboard if I had to from time to time, and things came naturally pretty quickly.
The key is to FORCE yourself to always keep your indexes on the nubbed keys.

well im more looking for single p[layer experiences never been really into multiplayer (i suck at it)

>>42892376
Then don't post a multiplayer game in the OP, nerd.
In that case you're sort of fucked. Look through Steam and the Humble Store I guess. There's lots of stuff there singleplayer and multiplayer.
Use PlayOnLinux to get games running in WINE without hassle.
And Brogue isn't multiplayer, faggot.

Why are people still so hung up on being able to have massive amounts of local storage? These days, it's feasible to have a relatively inexpensive home server box on your LAN. Home servers are more than just an alternative, they're an improvement. It's simply a better idea, for many reasons, including:
1. Stability. Instead of relying on a Windows install to hold up and allow you to access files, you can install whatever Linux distro you want on your home server, to manage your files. You can still play all the Windows games you want, and still have all your files stored on an ext4 filesystem.
2. Compatibility. Windows only likes to play nice with other Windows machines. A Linux (or even a FreeNAS, really) install plays nice with just about everything.
3. You can turn off your desktop PC. You don't have to depend on your desktop PC to be on in order to access your files anymore, nor do you have to leave your desktop PC on to seed torrents. Instead, you can have a low-wattage Linux-based server handling those things (and much more, at your discretion) for you.
4. It opens up a whole slew of new computing options for you. It doesn't matter whether you're using an all-in-one, a nettop, or a tablet. You still have access to the same amount of storage capacity when you're at home.
5. Noise. You'll naturally experience drastically less hard drive and fan noise when all of your hard drives are in a closet down the hall.
6. Scalability. When you fill the six SATA ports in your desktop, you either shell out for an expensive and/or dodgy SATA card, or buy unsightly external drives, or you're done expanding. When you fill the six SATA ports in your home server, you simply set up a second server box and stack it on top of the first one.
Home servers are the elegant file storage solution of the 21st century. Rest in peace, local storage.
Pic related: It's the Fractal Node 304, a Mini-ITX case that can hold six 3.5" drives. ~24 TB, the size of a large toaster.

Also, if I wanted to make a beefy computer to stream steam games from, would it be worth it to have a separate server for storage and another one for gaming, or should I put them all in one box?

Is there any difference in sound quality between FLAC and say a 320kbps mp3? If not, why should I be using FLAC?

Yes, even at 320kbps, MP3 employs destructive psychoacoustics. FLAC decodes identical to its source.

Go. Rust is still way too unstable.

>>42884962
Rust is the better language on a fundamental level.
Go has an awful type system compared to Rust, and it has less than ideal functional programming support.
