Re: I know two people who died from Sars-CoV-2, do you know anyone?

My point however was that the number of people dying during the flue pandamic? of 2018 are about the same as the number of people now dying from corona. Oh I see, you are comparing the number of COVD-19 deaths now with the number of deaths of the 2018 flu epidemics. So, we know that the death toll ...

Re: I know two people who died from Sars-CoV-2, do you know anyone?

Maybe I reading this too fast , because I am also eating but. 1200 a day times 7 makes 8400. That even below the numbers of 2018 influenza numbers in the top graph. 13000. You're possibly not getting the first graph. The sine wave is the baseline number of deaths per week. The red line is the death...

Re: I know two people who died from Sars-CoV-2, do you know anyone?

I think I found the report from which merlyn data comes from: link and more information . At page 51 we have a table where the total number of deaths in England is reported by year. Including uncertainty, we reach a max possible peak of a total of ~30000 deaths in 2014-2015. The current number of de...

Re: I know two people who died from Sars-CoV-2, do you know anyone?

I do see a death-toll from corona, that does not exceed the number of people dying from flue in 2019. I am really struggling to understand this too. I cannot quite see how you are obtaining these figures. See here the conclusive report fort the 2018-2019 epidemics in my region of Italy, published o...

Re: I know two people who died from Sars-CoV-2, do you know anyone?

Very sensitive question I see, not sure why it is being asked. But I can give my answer, and I will keep it to the original question. Do you know anyone who died from Sars-CoV-2 or even Corona? Corona. Two close family friends perished. Three relatives of close friends perished. One close family fri...

Re: Windows Audio vs. Linux Audio

The old Puppy Studio (by I0wt3ch) also runs everything as root and sits in squashfs files. I do remember Puppy Studio doing pretty good 10+ years ago in terms of performance. That reminds me of Remix OS as well, another discontinued distribution (some info survives here ). Unfortunately I don't hav...

Re: Does Bobby Owsinski use GNU/Linux?

I don't know Owsinski at all, there is some context I am perhaps missing. It seems to me that the bit showing Linux refer to the description of a podcast setup. Interesting for sure, would be cool to know more.

Re: Windows Audio vs. Linux Audio

I want, I need and I have to run my OS as ROOT! I'm the chief on my computer and I'm the only one who's using it. Running as user sucks! So, I thought GNU/Linux stands for Freedom? Running as user bends me and has nothing to do with freedom. To me running as user is obligation, pressure and restrai...

Re: Windows Audio vs. Linux Audio

I see that article you linked was about KLANG, a new audio system for Linux announced in 2012 that was going to fix all the problems. Not quite. Yes the thread is about KLANG, but as we all know KLANG was an idea doomed to fail since its inception that had no development whatsoever done on it as fa...

Re: Windows Audio vs. Linux Audio

Will this ever change? About this: I have no idea. I have no major issue with how Linux audio works at the moment, but I would welcome a more efficient and streamlined audio stack for sure. At the moment, PipeWire is in the making. To be honest, I am not holding my breath. Even if it turns out to b...

Re: Windows Audio vs. Linux Audio

Why isn't GNU/Linux able to handle that audio stuff as excellent and smart as Windows is doing it? I am not sure I can offer a technically satisfactory answer by pointing out at the various design choices that, throughout the years, have made Linux what it is. Best I can do is link to an article I ...

Just dropping by to add one to the Audacity-Replacements-Free-for-All side of the thread.

Re: Audio hardware profiles - any implementations

Hi, my two cents. You (we?) could use LSP profiler to measure the impulse response (and hence frequency response) of the soundcard: https://lsp-plug.in/?page=manuals&section=profiler_mono As for nonlinear characterisation, that is actually far more complex than I anticipated when sitting down th...
