How to set up PulseAudio over Network

PulseAudio actually has great networking capabilities. Especially when combined with Avahi/Zeroconf it is especially easy to set up, though technically it should also be possible without.

Setting up the server

Open /etc/pulseaudio/default.pa
At the end of the file, add load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;192.168.254.0/24 auth-anonymous=1 to activate networked audio from 192.168.254.0-255 without needing authentication.
Kill pulseaudio, it should be auto-restarted, or restart your login session to activate the changes. You should now be able to set PULSE_SERVER=192.168.254.XXX and have the remote audio working! If not check the firewall settings, PulseAudio seems to open a random port by default.

Setting up automatic configuration and discovery

On both the server and client, install pulseaudio-module-zeroconf and avahi, then after installing make sure Avahi always runs by running systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon

Behavioral Interviewing

While there are a number of definitions, for our purposes, soft skills are all of the skills that are not technical. Meaning - the you that shows up the interview, as well as your technical ability. Your interview is composed of your technical prowess, as well as your soft-skills and ability to answer non-technical questions around teamwork, leadership, failure (yes), ability to adapt, timeliness, and communication skills.

If you have heard of the airport test - when hiring managers ask themselves would I want to be stuck in an airport with this person? - your non-technical stories will help them answer that question. In short: non-technical questions will ask you to tell a number of stories that supplement your technical mastery.

Interviews are subjective, based off of who’s interviewing you. When you prepare for soft-skill questions, understand the value that you can bring to a company as well as your goals and interests. You will deliver better answers and be more con

‪“‬In what way is JS any more maintainable than CSS? How does writing CSS in JS make it any more maintainable?”

‪Happy to chat about this. There’s an obvious disclaimer that there’s a cost to css-in-js solutions, but that cost is paid specifically for the benefits it brings; as such it’s useful for some usecases, and not meant as a replacement for all workflows. ‬

‪(These conversations always get heated on twitter, so please believe that I’m here to converse, not to convince. In return, I promise to listen to you too and change my opinions; I’ve had mad respect for you for years and would consider your feedback a gift. Also, some of the stuff I’m writing might seem obvious to you; I’m not trying to tell you if all people of some of the details, but it might be useful to someone else who bumps into this who doesn’t have context)‬

So the big deal about css-in-js (cij) is selectors.
