audacious media player


Its close and I use it but I have trouble getting the MPRIS/playback controls working right



great design!


It's an addiction, I have 17 and a Pi4 on order

1 - (pi) pi - temperature sensor

2 - (pi) woody - garage door opener - custom web interface

3 - (pi2) white - Unicorn hat blinking lights

4 - (pi2) pi2b - OpenVPN server, pihole DNS

5 - RetroPi - Games (Pi 3)

6 - bigwood - Freeswitch phone system, Nagios4 (Pi 2 Model B v1.1)

7 - (pi) unicorn #2 - unicorn hat blinking lights

8 - pi2 motion - motion sensor, camera, blink(1) light- blink shows red or orange when motion is sensed and takes photos

9 - Slack Bot - (at work)

10 - zero (on desk at home)

11 - green3 - camera - garage wide angle (old cam)

12 - infra - camera front door

13 - infra2 - camera garage wide angle

14 - infra3 - camera front door far view

15 - zerow-cam with infrared usb adapter displaying cameras on tv - change cameras with remote control

16 - zerow-cam1 - camera back yard

17 - zerow-cam2 - camera back yard

18 - Pi4 4GB is backordered but I found a Pi4 2GB which I hope will serve well as a file/backup server. Hoping to utilize the USB3 to get better I/O to a couple external disks.

Running Bitwarden on a VM right now but will probably move this to a Pi4 in the near future

I have all of these connected to a custom command-and-control web interface (socket.io) where I can send commands, perform updates, monitor load average, version, uptime - and can reboot if needed


I ran the October update and lost my Desktop folder.

After install, a dialog box appears:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable ..."


Out of curiosity... why was your desktop folder there? That is a really weird place for it.


"C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\" is the profile folder (%USERPROFILE%) for the LocalSystem account; it doesn't normally have a desktop folder.

If Windows is trying to find your desktop folder there when you log on interactively, something's gone horribly wrong (but, frankly, that doesn't surprise me with the 1809 update).


Systemprofile just hosts configuration files including one which links to the Desktop folder. The OS is either not finding the data or is unable to read it. The actual Desktop folder is probably still present in its usual location.


I _think_ that may be a magic symlink/bind mount equivalent that gets remapped to the running user's location.


A good video from Paul Irish on the subject http://www.paulirish.com/2011/primitives-html5-video/

On the flip side Netflix only hires "fully formed adults". No interns and no fresh college grads.


Netflix doesn't care all that much about the costs of their IT, because it's overwhelmed by the costs of licensing, and now I assume, creating content.

Or so we're told in reference to their moving to AWS, they could be an exception that proves the rule.


I love this talk by Erik Meijer on the topic http://vimeo.com/110554082
