Serious question for #mpd #musicpd users:

If MPD was completely re-done, what features would you want?

@waweic Oh yes, so much.

I still haven't quite figured out how to do this on BSD tho. Linux has a function that will just notify you, BSD has something that is similar, but apparently more involved and I'm not yet sure if it can feasibly be used to monitor the whole collection.

Getting this to work portably might be a hassle, but I absolutely consider this a must-have.

@lain In the AST case I tried for about half an hour but it just kept adding new subtle errors that exploded when actually running the code.^^

@ovid

@ovid I've had ChatGPT write snippets, but they aren't really reliable.

For example it absolutely got the API of pythons ast module wrong (which to be fair, is likely a result of the documentation). It did however point me in the right direction to solve the problem I was working on.

But, crucially, I haven't seen it do any actual software *engineering*.

Me planning my new multi-monitor setup involving 2 monitors, 3 machines, 4 graphics cards, 2 displayport switches, 2 adapters and 8 cables.

Do I have enough GPU yet??

I find it funny that both cards are 10 years apart but in the same number range, with the old one even being slightly higher than the new one.

The new one (top) is an RX 6600 XT, the old one (bottom) is an HD 6850 – both cards from the Radeon series which I have chosen again for the same reason, too – AMD being more FOSS-friendly.

Tho I'll still have to wait for the Linux drivers to be ported to FreeBSD, hence I'm keeping the old card in there for now. ?

Ugh. The Sass project deprecated libsass so now the only official implementation is the Dart one – and Dart is a google language and they don't support *BSD.

Gotta say this feels a lot like vendor lock-in… :thonking:

@Gargron Simple, two bill items:

1: Hosting, $100
2: Embezzlement: $319900
