Greetings fellow Lintards

I'm trying to set up LIRC with IR over the 3.5mm microphone port. It supports this with the alsa_audio driver. I have everything rigged up and when I press a button on my TV remote it goes
remote -> RF receiver -> 3.5mm into computer -> the mic input bar in Ubuntu's pulseaudio sound control panel moves to indicate a signal

However, when I use lircd with the command
lircd --driver=audio_alsa --device=hw:0@44100,r lircd.conf
I get no indication of a signal when using irrecord.

Furthermore, when I run
arecord -d 10 /tmp/test-mic-input.wav
I can clearly hear signal at the exact time I press buttons on my remote.
However, when I run
arecord -d 10 /tmp/test.wav --device hw:0
I get
audio open error: Device or resource busy

This leads me to wonder if hw:0 is simply the wrong device for some reason. What does arecord use by default? Or is there something else I can check here?

Anyone notice how freetards aren't as vocal anymore about windows now that their software has been discovered to be a botnet as well?

So, I'm trying to think what the most useful/important/wanted file that is 1.4MB or less would be.
At least something interesting even. Demoscene comes to mind, but I'm sure you could do a tonne more in 1.4mb.

When I was a kid and had just started programming, I was fascinated by the fact that some programs would never finish, programs such as

while (1 == 0) {
}

return;

I set out to write a program that could figure out whether another program would return or loop infinitely.

After a few months I finally figured out that such a program could not exist.

Some years later I learned that this was known as the halting problem, and that I had solved it in my teen years.

Nobody believes me. Alan Turing will forever be remembered as a genius and hero, while I'm just a shitposter on the internet.

I've had this Chromium extension for a while that added a lot of functionality to Youtube like auto replay video, frame resize, darken screen etc but one day its gone and I can't remember the name to find it or maybe its removed from google store.

It's similar to Enhancer for YouTube but better. Does anyone know what extension I am talking about?
