  • I have a setup at home. It joins my Jellyfin, Qobuz, soma.fm, and a few more sources and feeds my home and mobile music(etc) needs.

    I honestly wouldn’t want to miss it.

    Home Assistant uses it for wake-up music in the morning, to make sure the music follows me around the flat by joining speakers or transferring the queue using presence sensors, and probably a few more things.

    Ah, yes, Sonos haven’t implemented Qobuz Connect yet, so the Qobuz app doesn’t know how to deal with Sonos speakers, but with Music Assistant that doesn’t matter in the slightest. MA knows how to talk to my speakers and how to talk to Qobuz.

    Essentially, MA is to Audio what Homeassistant is to home automation.

    Definitely loving it.

















  • I cycle in Germany and can confirm: Beeswax and linseed oil (I currently use a 1:1 mix) are great for the purpose. Any cotton fabric will happily comply.

    I use smaller amounts of the wax/oil mix also to prepare most of my trousers, hats and jackets for the Wetter seasons. 🙃 - and to lubricate zippers, and wax my beard, make wax cloths, treat wooden cutting boards and tool-handles, pack food items, and whatnot …

    You can pour the molten mix into an empty deodorant stick dispenser and - voilà - you have an omni-use-wax-stick. - Even an empty lip balm (think labello / chap stick) works for an omni-use-travel-pocket-wax-stick.
