Choice log no. 1774452382 – Ubuntu 24.04 Bluetooth headset max volume
Every time I connect my Bluetooth headset, the volume is set to max.
AI Overview
To fix the Bluetooth headset volume resetting to high on Ubuntu 24.04, which uses PipeWire rather than PulseAudio (hence no
default.pa), disable absolute volume for Bluetooth devices. Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, set Experimental = true, and add MultiProfile=multiple under [General].
Steps to Fix High Volume Reset:
Edit Bluetooth Configuration:
Open terminal and run:
sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
Enable Experimental Features:
Locate the [General] section and add or change the following line (if it has a # at the beginning, remove it):
Experimental = true
Add Profile Support:
In the same [General] section, add:
MultiProfile=multiple
Save and Exit: Press Ctrl+O, Enter, then Ctrl+X.
Restart Bluetooth:
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
Reconnect Headset: Disconnect and reconnect your Bluetooth headset.
This allows PipeWire to handle volume correctly, preventing it from defaulting to maximum.
I followed the instructions, but still, when I connect my Bluetooth headset the sound is set at 100%. I set the volume at 50% and ran sudo systemctl restart Bluetooth. Now when I connect, the volume is preset at 50%. I do not know if editing the main.conf file was necessary, but the volume is working as I want, so I will leave as is. “Do not fix what is not broken.” 😉

Using ffmpeg to slice audio
ffmpeg -ss StartingSeconds -i inputFile.mp3 -t HowManySecondsToCapture -c copy outputFile.mp
Sample:
ffmpeg -ss 388 -i inputfile.mp3 -t 85 -c copy outfile.mp3
388 = Start at 6 minutes forty-seven seconds
85 = capture for one minute forty-two seconds
If the -ss option is not included, the slice will start from the beginning and capture the amount of time specified in the -t option. Example -t ten seconds, will capture from the start of the audio for ten seconds.
If the -t option is not included, the slice will start at the -ss point and complete to the end of the audio.

Choice log no. 1770250523 – Escape Velocity
Escape velocity is the minimum speed an object needs to break free from a celestial body’s gravity without further propulsion, calculated as Ve = √2GM/r , where G is the gravitational constant, M is the body’s mass, and r is the distance from its center. For Earth, it’s about 11.2 km/s (25,000 mph), while the Moon’s is lower (around 2.4 km/s) due to its smaller mass, and larger bodies like Jupiter have much higher escape velocities.
How it works
- Concept: It’s the speed where an object’s kinetic energy equals the gravitational potential energy, allowing it to travel infinitely far away.
- Dependence: It depends on the mass (M) and radius (r) of the celestial body, not the mass of the escaping object.
- Direction: It’s a scalar, meaning the direction doesn’t have to be straight up, but launching from the equator towards the east is easier due to Earth’s rotation.
Examples
- Earth: ~11.2 km/s (25,000 mph).
- Moon: ~2.4 km/s (1.5 miles/second).
- Mars: ~5 km/s (5,000 m/s).
- Jupiter: Much higher than Earth’s due to its immense mass.
Calculation Formula
- Ve = √2GM/r
- G: Gravitational constant (6.674×10-11 N • m2/kg2)
- M: Mass of the planet/body (in kg)
- r: Radius of the planet/body (in meters)

Choice log no. 1770145198 – Epiphany
I realized if I ask this question, that my day actually becomes more productive.
Knowing what I know from yesterday, what would I do today? The first thought that enters my mind, I stop and concentrate on that one thought. More will come after the first thought. I have to stop after the first thought! Else, I start to think of the other thoughts and not act.
For the last two days, my first thought has been to complete three chapters of my Security+ training.
When I complete what I set out to do, I feel real good. I think I am getting addicted to this…
I still have to be present throughout the day, as distraction’s (social media, watch just that one YouTube video to relax, or just one show) pull is very strong. When I start to notice that I cannot focus and I am getting distracted, I step outside and take a five-minute escape (no electronics). Smell the air and admire what is in front of me. Doing this helps me calibrate my thinking and get back to being focused of what I set to complete. Sometimes, I have to take a ten-minute walk to really clear my mind from the pull of distraction.
