Let me know if you need any help or if you have any issues with the repo.
First things first... It works like a charm! I've now got a fully functioning LMS running with squeezelite as the client and I've already listened to some of my music. Your packages just made it so easy!!! Thanks again and much appreciated!!! I only just found out about Alpine Linux a few days ago... I've been using Linux for many years but with the trillions of distros out there, it's hard to keep track of them all... I'm glad I discovered it as I like the lean & clean approach, and no bloat! I do know there are others out there like tinycore, etc. but it's hard to find a distro that just sticks to the basics.... a bit what Arch used to be like many years ago. Personally, I like the idea of editing a bunch of text files to start/stop services etc. and generally control the system. I did eventually get used to systemd but it still blows me away what a convoluted mess that is compared to just system V setups... I've wasted so much time just trying to come to grips why my files keep changing.... like resolv.conf etc. In any case, guess I'm showing my age. I cut my teeth on terminal-based systems (VT100, VT220, etc.), even remember the days when you could run WordPerfect of 2 floppy drives! talk about efficient and lean programming... Microsoft has so much to answer for! Again, all just my personal opinions. You mentioned HTTP v HTTPS etc. which is what kinda inspired me to write this. I know all about personal peeves... I think I could write a very small book about the bs that's supposedly progress. To answer your question, yes it's a pi4 with 2gb, coupled with an Allo Digione board. I use it with a Cambridge Dac and Sennheiser headphones. The quality of the audio this produces is amazing! and I've heard some truly expensive audio systems in the past... On top of that, when you build something yourself from parts etc. it's just so much more satisfying than taking something out of a box and just plugging it in... well to me anyway ;-) cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterb1962's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112276 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
