Wanted to do a small private #coding session.

Two hours maybe. Then exercise, food, maybe a quiet evening.

Seven hours later, I have refactored parts of my project, built a new automation, and my personal dashboard looks genuinely beautiful.

#ADHD hyperfocus is a weird little bargain.

What Is the Best #Local #LLM for #Coding in 2026?

Controlling Your Music Queue More Flexibly With MPD

I’ve been working with two programs that make interacting with your music using mpd even easier, regardless of source.

First, I’ve updated some things with mpdq. It runs in the background every few minutes, and if there aren’t enough songs in the queue, it adds some. It chooses the songs to add based on some presets you create that are based around what genres are selected. I fixed some bugs and cleaned up references, as well as gave it a way to list what the presets it knows about are.

But most important is the addition of an interactive mode where you can not only quickly (and easily) change the preset it uses, but also preview what those rules are.

You can see it fill up the queue here after I choose the “Techno” preset. I have the loud output on, so it shows you what it’s choosing (and not choosing) and why as it fills the playlist. (The very pretty interface on the left is rmpc, the Rusty Music Player Client.)

You can get mpdq at GitLab or GitHub

I also made mpdcontrol (or mpdc for short), which throws together a bunch of possible sources of music – from Radiotray-ng bookmarks, mpdq’s stations, regular MPD playlists, other playlists from simple listen to DI (or similar playlists for streaming stations), and your music collection’s genre, artist, and album, makes them look a bit pretty, and lets you keyword search and select as many as you like. For example, “trance” would display and let me select from Digitally Imported stations, albums I own that contain “trance” in the name, the genre Psytrance, and so on.

You can choose multiple items as well using fzf‘s multiselect. For example, you could choose the album “The Warning” by Queensryche and the band “The Warning”. And then change your search filter and search for “Mindcrime” and add the album “Operation Mindcrime” and then it will add all of those

I also tried to make the chooser kind of “smart”, in that if you choose a new mpdq station, it puts that last, or if there’s a stream playing it will clear the queue instead of cropping it (because the stream may never end), and things like that.

You can get mpdcontrol at GitLab or GitHub.
