Looks great, very cool colours.

I'm using "~/.asoundrc" to personalise my sound config for the user.

imho, I thought it, systemd stepped outside the FOSS agreement(?)/standards because the source code was not readily readable by a human.

I also use Palemoon and have playback problems with TED talks, the audio sounds pitch-shifted down a couple of octaves... Following your post seeking tips.

I use open-rc and I am able to control services with "service $service start|stop|restart|status".

Not all services are the same, ymmv.

rc-update and rc-service come in handy too.

I managed to use that as a hack, to copy the binary(s) to /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/

And I see it load, but now I have a problem with the hand-shake and the P7 headphones pairing, but the bluetooth app on the plasma taskbar says it is paired and it is trusted.

I'll keep working on this later... thank you for your assistance, I got a long way from where I was by myself, much appreciated.

Thank you Ralph, I'll have a go at it and get back with some good news I hope.

Yes, but I can't help but think that it , the surveillance state starts under the rule of law, and the private sector takes it to the limit and then the gubbamnt taps into their systems under the guise of Public Safety.

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to acknowledge what the governments keep secret, using software and devices to surveil the populace for threats the private sector is using as human management tools to track efficency. Big Brother is already here, slowly, sometimes quickly removing our freedom of choice.

Happy Holidays everyone. Thank you for being here for me.

thank you, a change is as good as a holiday. :-)
