sound – Can I downmix stereo audio to mono? – Ask Ubuntu | https://askubuntu.com/

  1. Find the name of your audio sink by running
    pacmd list-sinks | grep name:
    
  2. Then run this command (taking care to remove the angled brackets):
    pacmd load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=mono master=name_of_audio sink_given_by_previous_command channels=2 channel_map=mono,mono
    

    or add

    load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=mono master=name_of_audio sink_given_by_previous_command channels=2 channel_map=mono,mono
    

    to /etc/pulse/default.pa to have it run at startup.

  3. Then in Sound Preferences choose “Mono” as the output, but remember to reduce volumes by half, since two channels are getting mixed into one, or else you’ll have distortion. To test, run:
    speaker-test -c 2 -t sine
    

Same thing in a single command:

pacmd load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=mono master=$(pacmd list-sinks | grep -m 1 -oP 'name:\s<\K.*(?=>)') channels=2 channel_map=mono,mono
  1. To remove the mono channel, just use:
    pacmd unload-module module-remap-sink

Block Ads & Malvertising on pfSense Using pfBlockerNG (DNSBL)

This walkthrough uses the DNSBL portion of pfBlockerNG to remove ads/advertising and more importantly, malvertising. It essentially creates a functionality similar to the pi-Hole project except it doesn’t require a separate piece of hardware. Instead, you just use your pfSense + pfBlockerNG! If you’re interested in a write-up on installing/configuring the pi-hole on Ubuntu, I have one here. Please note this walkthrough is for the devel version of pfBlockerNG. The pfBlockerNG-devel package is in the standard list of available packages…
