If you want to run the TECHNOMANCER demo from this years #assembly2025 #demoscene #demoparty but you encounter this error because you're running pipewire:
<code>
(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
</code>
you need to add a nice litte file to your homefolder (~/.asoundrc):
<code>
pcm.!default {
type pipewire
}
</code>
Voila!
#justlinuxthings #linux
P.S. no pre, no code, no
Second act:
wacek/arise
A musician and coder on the Commodore 64, and a veteran of the Polish techno scene – he debuted on both 30+ years ago. He produces and plays full-spectrum electronic music in the club space, from chilling ambient to dancefloor-shaking drum'n'bass. For several years now, he's also been performing live acts built around his own remixes of 8-bit music and demoscene tracks. Either way, whatever is playing, the foot moves on its own. See you on the dance floor 😉

Act one (of… tba):
XCOPY
I keep jamming on those Amigas, making those mods, and just putting stuff out—on vinyl, cassette, online. I’m not on Spotify, doesn’t really speak to me. I lay low when I can, but still end up spamming those Instagram stories. Who knows why! Sometimes I run a workshop or two, talk a bit about what I do in my spare time. But I gotta admit—what I love most is telling stories and writing fairy tales. Lately it’s been more poetry, but yeah, still fairy tales. I like people, and I’ve been slowing down for a while now. I wish the same for everyone—slow down. Thanks for having me again.
New video: Let's Code MS DOS 0x30: VGA 3D Textmode
The EGA and VGA card can do a lot of magic tricks in textmode. This time we will investigate how you can draw a rotating 3D cube overlayed on normal text by utilising the EGA/VGA feature of a second character set.

(a milion lines)
With over 30 years of DJ and music production experience under his belt, it’s no wonder @h0ffman knows how to rock a dance floor. With a musical taste spanning multiple genres, his sets culminate in a melting pot of audio damage and sonic assault Sporting two Amigas running PT-1210 DJ software, he’ll be taking Xenium on a journey through a raft of ProTracker bangers old and new.
