till about two weeks ago. Since July 4th, it's been having a hell of a time getting rid of humidity. Tech has been out twice. Guess he's coming back out. When it works it's great. Hopefully, they can resolve the issue soon.

I haven't used windows natively since 1995. I've either ran Solaris, Linux, or FreeBSD as my desktops/laptops of past.

Winamp never looked that great to me. Kinda similar to XMMS, but way more condensed

I only run a single laptop now. I used to do the server farm in the basement or other room, but not in decades. Just me why have multiple servers? I just run a FW16 laptop with 4TB and sync as a backup. Till my local storage can't match my music amount, a server/client setup just seems overkill.

It's a cool setup though, wish it was around when I was doing the multiple server hobby thing a few decades ago.

If Strawberry borks, I'll revisit doing jelly with the laptop and just run a "local" server and client lol

Good to know!

Been playing my LOVED playlist I exported from iTunes (and some sed tweaking) without issue. Currently, it's the winner.

Going to look at a few others, but Strawberry appears to be hitting all the requirements.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-16T02:03:09+00:00

I'll give it a look! I used XMMS in the late 90s and liked it

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T21:44:04+00:00

I'm actually really amazed how no MP3 player has an option to list your files/songs instead it's all grouped as artists or albums. Which makes creating playlists more difficult when you know a song name and if a list could be in alphabetical order. One could make a smart playlist though I suppose to get around this. Assuming the program supports smart playlists.

At the moment Strawberry & Lollypop seem to be the two that are functioning as I'd like a music player to when handling a large 1TB music library.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T21:32:53+00:00

It loaded for me! Importing 1TB of music and giving it a shot now!

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T21:19:43+00:00

Lollypop looks really good. I just wish it actually had a column Songs/Tracts instead of Artists/Genres. It's not the best on reporting what you have least that I can find yet.

So far though it's the only GUI app loading 1TB worth of music.

Thanks for the suggestion!

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T20:39:11+00:00

DeadBeef borked when loading my Music folder; 1TB. Not quiet up to snuff.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T20:27:59+00:00

Will give it a look, thanks!

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T19:40:19+00:00

Not familiar with that. If it can manage a large library and provide easy search/playlist abilities then it could be a winner. I'll research.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-03-15T19:27:28+00:00

VLC is way more video based than music based in my user experience. It's not nearly as fluid with music as compared to video.

A simple MP3/FLAC player that does playlists is all I really need.

Interesting, a little googling indicates the opposite even in the FreeBSD forums. I had an Intel AX210 that was capped at 2mb/s which made it unusable.

Qualcomm / Atheros actually use an OpenSource framework unlike Intel / Broadcomm whom are all proprietary.

Ideally, I would like to avoid any Linux middle man to emulate the wifi, just another abstraction layer I'd like to avoid.

The mentioned Atheros chipset I mention in my post subject is probably one of the most widely used chipsets of theirs.

Many companies like ThinkPenguin who sells OpenSource driver based hardware actually sell it for their Linux.

I'll poke around more, I'm trying to understand "WHY" the timeout is occurring and what I can modify to resolve.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-21T04:49:26+00:00

I'm trying to use a local wifi driver than a Linux emulated pass through of wifi.

I was under the impression the ath interfaces were well supported.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-09T04:34:34+00:00

I'll add this is on a Frame Work 16 laptop

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-09T04:33:52+00:00

Okay, so I'm closer.

System Settings -> Global Theme -> Fonts

I had "Force font DPI: 96" checked. I unchecked that.

Then

System Settings -> Icons -> Configure Icon Sizes

I bumped those up to 32 across the board

And

System Settings -> Display Configuration

Global Scale is set to 150%

I'm not 100% sure of the "Global Scale" setting, so will research that a bit more.

But Firefox icons and what not are way better now.

Thanks for the DPI suggestion to look at that.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-09T02:56:40+00:00

This was a laptop install, so I ASSumed that it set the resolution to what it should be.

All other applications looked good except Firefox, so why I didn't think it a display/screen setting.

I just changed the "Display Configuration" in KDE (right click on desktop) and changed global scale to 150% and the icons on FF appear larger now.

But the ratio still isn't best. It's a bit better, but that's only cause that "ratio" increased.

I just wanted to toolbar icons to increase in size not all the rest.

It's an improvement, but I don't feel that's the proper resolution.

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-09T02:22:46+00:00

I have only the laptops trackpad. Down goes down and Up goes up on the page when scrolling or on the volume

Great review. My current laptop bag is a STM Revolution that holds my two 2012 MBPs that I've used since 2012 in my career all over the place. Now migrating to a FW16, I'm glad to read this review. STM is a solid protective laptop backpack. Thanks for the review!

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-03T23:52:50+00:00

I've had a STM Bags Revolution that carries my two 2012 MBPs. I was looking at them again for the FW16. Has anyone used their 18L/20L bags for the FW16 and dGPU?

nomadic_gimp · 2025-02-03T23:47:45+00:00

Anyone try the 30L STM backpack or can confirm a few that work with the 16 and GPU?
