[02:39] <greg-g> Yeah, I almost sold it. Maybe should have.
[02:47] <cmaloney> Nah, they're still pretty cool and still under active development
[06:46] <greg-g> wait, what is under active dev?
[14:07] <jrwren> LMS, presumably.
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <cmaloney> Naturally it's on a forum: https://forums.slimdevices.com/
[14:46] <jrwren> ugh, forums are the worst.
[14:47] <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.
[14:48] <jrwren> hey... just like the old ubuntu forums :)  at least askubuntu is nice.
[14:50] <cmaloney> Well, Logitech no longer supports the Squeezebox
[14:51] <cmaloney> so it's the one developer and anyone that circles his orbit
[18:51] <cmaloney> greg-g: I really want to help you get your LMS system up and running because it's absolute bliss when it works.
[18:54] <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.
[18:55] <greg-g> cmaloney: but now that the synology aspect seems troubling, and I don't want to spend much money redoing everything...
[18:59] <cmaloney> Do you have a machine you can keep running instead?
[18:59] <cmaloney> Even something like a NUC or a desktop should suffice
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <greg-g> I have a hosted nextcloud I use for offsite + laptop syncing, but I've found all of the subsonic compatible players suck
[19:03] <greg-g> (hetzner storage share, good price for what it gives you)
[19:03] <cmaloney> Yeah, I can imagine
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <cmaloney> Refurb PCs can be had pretty cheaply
[19:05] <greg-g> yeah yeah
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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> :)
[20:42] <jrwren> if only rpi had a decent DAC 
[20:43] <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? :)
[20:54] <cmaloney> Why not just wind up the gramophone
[21:14] <jrwren> Records are such a worthwhile upgrade tho. Expand your vinyl collection!
[22:08] <greg-g> Bluetooth speakers might be the solution in some way. If I could just figure out a good phone app for my music. 
[22:11] <jrwren> navidrome server + play:sub (on ios) is great.
