mpd has broke me a couple times lol

yeah i was a little grossed out last night when i saw that. so fuck em. iron fox?

what did you go with?

where we goin

fedora coo. i coo fedor

I’ve seen this a couple times but haven’t looked into it until now! do you play with this?

i linked those together and will be testing further! i wonder what it offers over the regular smb share

tempo is slick!

that was a big choke point for me for a while also!

i keep this in my linkwarden!

KDE connect was an absolute divine discovery when i ran across it!

oh lawd i am glad to meet another out in the wild!

i was fortunate to start with residential alarm and A/V. due to a talent vacuum, leapfrogged to control system programmer/service, which allowed a few forks in the road (service manager, project manager and sales,) before bringing me back to my primary passion in this industry, AV programming and design.

but yeah I’ve installed my fair share of alarm panels, access control, thousands of camera systems.

but most of my shit has been fixing old rich people’s wifi and kids/grandkids AV

holy shit this is the kind of stuff that piques my interest! Flawless location hopping eh? is this descended from the old Logitech platform? will CERTAINLY look into this

people speak highly of this one. I’ll have to do a little research

when i first saw and played with music assistant i was absolutely amazed for a bit. the ability to sling tunes to any device that can be seen on the network with all metadata available on a home assistant (adjacent) dashboard? sign me up! i was thrilled at the audiobook/podcast support as well. able to tie in tidal and local music with announcement capabilities… just awesome!

i can’t remember the exact reason why but it didn’t quite work perfectly for me, as far as “checking all the boxes”

the companion app wasn’t quite designed to be a music source and would stop playing if screen was locked for a few seconds? on webpage it is like, constantly spamming KDE connect to continue playing, even when sending to another device.

i am following music assistant for sure though!

slsk and nicotine+ have been so cool for so long!

i feel bad when im likely destroying someone’s uploads because i found a hidden treasure of FLACs from some older or obscure artists

ooolala i didn’t think about a gauntlet to the death!

old school. tried and true. network agnostic. love it!

pixel7a gOS gang rise up!

gonic looks cool! i am investigating more!

thanky kindly for keeping me from having to duck duck go this beast!

if you can, don’t be afraid to pull some wires! i come from a low-voltage background, and am getting ready to run some cabling for distributed audio.

found some old control4 gear that can be controlled directly from Home Assistant, no control4 processor required!
