There MUST be some kind of "pandemic" at global scale among politicians.😒 #mpd (madpoliticiandesease)
In germany the trainsystem got worse + worse the last decades. Up to something like, a local trainline had a very bad rate of running late very often. So it was decided to - not improve but to give up providing that tranconnection alltogether.
Btw. it's nowadays not uncommon train(connection)s are slowed down because of "traffic jams" (1 track for passengertrains + freighttrains). Wtf!

I've been trying out a lot of different music players for PostmarketOS (and even made a custom build of Finamp for it) but I think the one I'm sticking with is one I just happened to stumble upon.

Euphonica actually works really well, and I've been listening using it throughout the evening. Didn't think I'd switch to an MPD client for my music playing, but it actually seems to make a whole lot of sense to keep the library management/playing and the UI as two separate components, given the complexity of that on its own. Also, the UI is really pretty and I love the icon! Just make sure to disable the spectrum visualiser if you're gonna be using it on a phone, because I got a little worried when I saw the CPU usage

My media server:

* projectmsdl for visuals (I have a projector!)
* #mpd (music server/library, can output to HTTP or home speakers)
* transmission-daemon webui (download legal music torrents)

I can access it all via my laptop or phone at home, or away from home with #WireGuard

WILD story. A #DHS #officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, & into the empty passenger seat. An #MPD #cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the #police report.
