| greg-g | Yeah, I almost sold it. Maybe should have. | 02:39 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Nah, they're still pretty cool and still under active development | 02:47 |
| greg-g | wait, what is under active dev? | 06:46 |

| jrwren | LMS, presumably. | 14:07 |
| cmaloney | Including the firmware | 14:28 |
| cmaloney | there's a patch for allowing the hardwre to understand LMS 8.0.x | 14:28 |
| cmaloney | And yes, Michael Herger is still working on it | 14:28 |
| cmaloney | Naturally it's on a forum: https://forums.slimdevices.com/ | 14:29 |
| jrwren | ugh, forums are the worst. | 14:46 |
| jrwren | I've realized recently that having a forum, probably discorse, is like a tick box for opensource/opencore companies, and they are completely ignored by the project. It becomes a dumping ground of unanswered questions. | 14:47 |
| jrwren | hey... just like the old ubuntu forums :) at least askubuntu is nice. | 14:48 |
| cmaloney | Well, Logitech no longer supports the Squeezebox | 14:50 |
| cmaloney | so it's the one developer and anyone that circles his orbit | 14:51 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: I really want to help you get your LMS system up and running because it's absolute bliss when it works. | 18:51 |
| greg-g | yeah, I loved it when I just had LMS running on the synology with the squeezebox touch hooked up a basic shelf stereo. | 18:54 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: but now that the synology aspect seems troubling, and I don't want to spend much money redoing everything... | 18:55 |
| cmaloney | Do you have a machine you can keep running instead? | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | Even something like a NUC or a desktop should suffice | 18:59 |
| greg-g | I don't really, considered getting a nuc, but got a personal laptop instead | 19:00 |
| greg-g | we're pretty modern in that respect | 19:00 |
| greg-g | laptops + tablets | 19:00 |
| cmaloney | https://globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/mommy_why_is_there_a_server_in_the_house.jpg | 19:00 |
| greg-g | :) | 19:01 |
| cmaloney | At the very least you could get some additional disk space for it rather than keeping it all on the Synology | 19:01 |
| greg-g | I have a hosted nextcloud I use for offsite + laptop syncing, but I've found all of the subsonic compatible players suck | 19:02 |
| greg-g | (hetzner storage share, good price for what it gives you) | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I can imagine | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/1/post/141628 | 19:04 |
| cmaloney | I think that way lies madness | 19:04 |
| greg-g | yup, came across that thread last night | 19:04 |
| cmaloney | Refurb PCs can be had pretty cheaply | 19:05 |
| greg-g | yeah yeah | 19:05 |
| greg-g | now it just became a bigger time sink though :/ | 19:06 |
| greg-g | oh well | 19:06 |
| cmaloney | i promise it's worth the trouble. | 19:06 |
| cmaloney | and you're not alone. I'll help you through it | 19:06 |
| cmaloney | SONOS won't even help you with the personal white-glove approach | 19:07 |
| cmaloney | wait, that came otu weird. | 19:07 |
| greg-g | :) | 19:07 |
| jrwren | if only rpi had a decent DAC | 20:42 |
| jrwren | referb PCs draw a lot of power to leave running 24/7 too though, and you probably don't want to turn it off and on, wait for it to boot just to use it. | 20:43 |
| jrwren | why not BT speakers? :) | 20:43 |
| cmaloney | Why not just wind up the gramophone | 20:54 |
| jrwren | Records are such a worthwhile upgrade tho. Expand your vinyl collection! | 21:14 |
| greg-g | Bluetooth speakers might be the solution in some way. If I could just figure out a good phone app for my music. | 22:08 |
| jrwren | navidrome server + play:sub (on ios) is great. | 22:11 |
