This is absolutely crazy. 🤯🤯🤯
Alright, the Compact Flash adapter in my retro box works fine now. It allows me to switch disks way more easily, which, in turn, allows for more experiments. 👌

At the moment, I mostly use one 128 MB CF card with OS/2 2.1 on it. That OS didn’t really have lots of network capabilities out of the box, so once again I’m using zmodem over a serial line to transfer data to/from other machines, just like I do with MS-DOS 5.0.

Tomorrow, I plan on doing some more work on my OS/2 GUI program. (Let’s see if I actually get to do it. 😂)

By the way, OS/2 2.0 turned 32 years today. 🥳

@mckinley I almost feel like I shouldn’t reply because my setup isn’t very elaborate. 🥴

I have ~/music and then a folder for each artist. Each album gets its own subfolder. That’s pretty much it.

I usually use mpd for playing, sometimes mpv. I could use something simpler, I guess, but I’ve been an mpd use since at least 2009 and it just works. (I used Audacious, XMMS2, and, well, WinAmp before that. And sometimes MP3Blaster at the end of the 1990ies, but at that time I didn’t have a lot of music on my PC anyway.)

A long time ago, I had .m3u playlists for each genre, but I found that I don’t use that a lot. I usually just play what I’d like to hear right now.

As for tagging, I just do the basic things like artist, title, album name, so I get a somewhat meaningful display in ncmpcpp:

Virtually all the music on my hard disk is ripped from CDs that I physically own. The script that I use for ripping is *ancient*, like 17 years old. But it still works, so why bother. It apparently uses icedax for querying the CDDB and the actual ripping, then oggenc for encoding.

Probably the most elaborate/convoluted part of my sound setup is the use of LADSPA filters directly in PipeWire. I have crappy speakers and the filters do some EQ and maybe compression. That’s also super handy in today’s abundant video calls and also for watching movies. (I disable the filter chain if I switch to my headphones.)

This is how I play music. Find what I want on YT, download it to my dektop as an mp3 then I transfer it to a small mp3 player then I can plug that into a small speaker or a big one using a short audio lead

@sorenpeter Yes, that’s better, thanks! 👍

My client does not make use of the hash, so it’s fine for me. Other clients might, though, and I wonder how they’ll react to a “fictional” hash. 🤔 Maybe @lyse or @prologic have an opinion here. 😃

Oh, I forgot to mention: The URL should be relative to the fields location, so it should be prev = archive twtxt-archive.txt. (This is to allow for multi-protocol feeds.)

I have put in a psudo twthash since I did not archive from a specific date/post, but just what I did not find relevant to keep in my main feed.

Hey @sorenpeter, I’m sorry to tell you, but the prev field in your feed’s headers is invalid. 😅

First, it doesn’t include the hash of the last twt in the archive. Second, and that’s probably more important, it forms an infinite loop: The prev field of your main feed specifies http://darch.dk/twtxt-archive.txt and that file then again specifies http://darch.dk/twtxt-archive.txt. Some clients might choke on this, mine for example. 😂 I’ll push a fix soon, though.

For reference, the prev field is described here: https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/archivefeedsextension.html

@mckinley It's very simple. Quot Libet is my player at the moment, it's okay, but not great. I really did like Amarok back in the days (unfortunately, not available in Debian anymore), then tried Clementine and switched to xmms2 for a bunch of years. I had a few scripts around it. I don't remember why I moved away from it, though. A few years back I gave mpd a try, but could never get it to work properly.

Quod Libet usually just plays the whole collection from top to bottom and I manually skip every now and then. Sometimes even entire bands.

I've got all sorts of file types in ~/music. Usually each artist gets their own directory, depending on how many stuff I've got, there's usually a directory for the album and then come the tracks. Filenames are all over the place, for new stuff I use lowercase only and no spaces but dashes. I make use of common meta data such as artist, title, genre, often also year, album and track number. These days I get a lot of new music from YouTube and cut the start and end off with Audacity. The last three fields are only filled when I can be bothered to look them up.

Since none of my boxes are affected by the current xz desaster, I spent the day fighting with a CF-to-IDE adapter in my retro PC.

OS/2 2.1 and 3.0 just won’t boot from a CF disk, they’re stuck at (or before?) the boot loader, completely silent, nothing happens, nothing on screen. MS-DOS 5.0 on the same CF disk boots just fine, though, as does the exact same OS/2 2.1 installation from a hard drive.

I wonder how many text mode 16 bit OS/2 programs still existed when Windows 2000 came out. 🤔 Was it really worth keeping this subsystem around for so long?
I keep coming across the claim that Windows NT and 2000 can run OS/2 programs (due to the shared history between IBM and Microsoft). And indeed, it works – to some degree:

This compatibility layer only applies to 16 bit OS/2 1.x programs:

@lyse The thicker the better … 🤣

Another weird thing: I realized that I kept pressing the strings *waaaaay* too hard to that guitar. This screws up the intonation completely (notes getting higher). I almost thought the instrument was broken. 😅

Guitars are super delicate things …

The Sahara pays us a visit again. It's all yellowy here. Looks quite surreal. But I can't show you a photo, just doesn't capture on film.
