Same here.
I have a little cabin lost in the Mendocino woods in Northern California. Just me, an infestation of hummingbirds in the spring and summer (kidding they are lovely, even though they are very protective of their fav flowers beds), plenty of squirrels and raccoons, and even the (very occasional) black bear. I travel there very light on the motorcycle, hence can't carry stuff around. These days there's a drizzle of running water, unreliable electricity, and now even borderline wireless coverage has made it in if you contortion your hand in a certain position. There is also a SB Boom performing excellent and highly satisfying duty. It also runs forever off a portable battery. LMS duty is performed by a resident, ancient Thinkpad X60 running some LMS version of Ubuntu, 14 at the most, haven't checked. New music is uploaded either via SDcard (that I manage to put in the pocket :-D), or spotty 4G coverage. Sure I could just plug some in-ears into my smartphone and enjoy amazing music quality, but there's something super satisfying about *not* drowning out the nature sounds while I prowl about. The cabin is not perfectly insulated, and all the protection the SB Boom and the X60 have between visits is that i wrap them in tarp. They've survived this for over 10 years. ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 14 Pro) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109129 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
