As a Linux user, engineering student and all-round curious, I tend to spend some time trying to get things working or otherwise just investigating stuff. These are my articles on computer technology matters.
- ALSA sound guide
- This small guide is a practical description of the alsa system. It tries to explain why it replaced the old OSS sound system, why people use userspace sound daemons (like esd, arts, jack, etc) and it features a sample configuration for dmix and dsnoop plugins.
- PaX performance hit
- Small study of PaX's memory protection implementations and a quick benchmark of the performance hit caused by them.
- tinydns data file: quick configuration guide
- Short reminder of the tinydns data file configuration syntax.
