makes me wonder how hard it would be to build a mp3 player in a small white box with buttons halfassedly drawn on it. stuff an arduino into it. maybe there's some way to make the buttons work via capacitance?
like imagine, you see someone on the train wearing a pair of KSC75s plugged into what looks like a deck of cards wrapped in inkjet paper, drawn on with a sharpie to say "M3Ps" on the back, just "back, forward, play, pause, stop" written on the front. maybe a box drawn for a fake screen with a smiley face drawn inside it

actually come to think of it I could just hide regular clicky buttons behind the paper...

@aeva i think most Arduinos are too weak for audio playback

@aeva you can get cheap Chinese MP3 players for less than 10 quid btw if you know where to look

@ratsnakegames they've got some fancy ones these days, but an rpi would probably be fine too

@ratsnakegames there's a great abundance of suspiciously cheap mp3 players on amazon, I just don't know that I want an ipod clone that isn't open hardware

it would be neat if I could get it down as smol as a match box, but I don't think I have the m4d skillz needed to figure that out

@aeva we're interested in whatever you learn about capacitative controls, we've also wondered that sort of thing

this looks promising on the "smol" front https://store.arduino.cc/products/dfplayer-a-mini-mp3-player

@ireneista I'll post about it for sure if I pursue it

had enough of google's bullhockey. trying out random osm map apps on fdroid
@aeva you wouldn’t download chicago

@aeva you wouldn’t download chicago
@halcy I absolutely would >:D

oh so a cool happy surprise about this phone is it has four attach points that are nominally for attaching heavy duty industrial accessories, but for my reality they're functionally four anchor points for attaching phone charms :3
@aeva 🙀
I'm jealous -

@aeva you just unlocked an old memory: I wanted to make a soundcard for a Ti-84 connected through the 2.5mm jack because I wanted to have the ability to play sfxes and musics for a certain project I had on it while keeping the little CPU I had to for other stuff.

@aeva they kind of suck 😅 get an esp32 with i2s, which is way more flexible (check tangara, though probably hard to find). My current every day mp3 is a "aigo eros q" with Rockbox on it, very nice, also runs doom 👍

@tecteun tangara looks neat, but it's not available for purchase and it's unclear if it ever will be again

@tecteun what specifically is sucky about the dfplayer?

@aeva an arduino uno r4 looks like its powerful enough to decode mp3s without an external board https://learn.adafruit.com/native-mp3-decoding-on-arduino/overview
I'm considering this since the main way I listened to music has been enshittified and I have to drive to work these days.

@aeva if you are more interested into the crafting an mp3 player than the electronics, sparkfun have a lilypad mp3. Come read mp3, ogg and maybe flac from micro sd, as a jack for headphone, an tiny amp for stereo speaker, a jst connector and charge circuit for lipo battery. It's designed to be programmed with and ftdi programmer and be hooked up with conductive thread.

@genehack @ludicity the good news is there's very little shit in Go, IMHO. It's a simple-ish language missing some fancy features, but it's not missing anything I really feel the loss of, especially for the simple problems I'm making web apps for.
Of course, as much as I like it, I'm not using it for anything other than web stuff. Even my current large-ish Go project has as much Python for the data import tools, just because it was easier to write and deploy/performance don't matter.
-
@genehack @ludicity I'm willing to believe it, but I've struggled quite a bit with Rust. To be fair to Rust, I've been dealing with it in a desktop app context, and I may have made poor choices (I switched from Qt to Slint for a C++ app because I thought maybe it'd be nicer to build and package, but Slint is also a nightmare). I've never built a web app in Rust, but maybe I'll give it a go at some point. The build times are pretty gnarly though. Go builds much faster than most Node.js apps.
-
@swelljoe @ludicity all that said, yes, if deployment process was a primary concern (and ...when is it not?), I would put up with a moderate to large amount of shite to get Go's deployment story.
-
@swelljoe @ludicity to be fair, Rust kinda has this same deployment story. I agree it's a huge selling point, but also, if you're deploying true lambdas to AWS, you also kinda get this for any supported runtime? (N.b., not "run a container as a lambda", like ...actual old school Lambdas.)
-
@ludicity it's just a bonus that it's an order of magnitude faster, has a standard library that's so good you barely need anything else (and what you do bring in from third party libs is mostly made by grownups who write clear, concise, no bullshit, code), and has a memory footprint that's dramatically smaller.
It's such a low bullshit language, I can't imagine using anything else for web services and web app backends.

@liberotoncello premetto che pur auspicando un boicottaggio USA, io voglio mollare WA per il suo disprezzo per la privacy. Signal è americano, ma ciò non toglie che al momento sia il miglior compromesso, perchè serve a poco avere un'App super etica se poi non la usa nessuno.
Consiglio alcune letture

@ludicity deploying large mostly Python (but also Node.js, and others) apps in a ridiculous variety of places has been a huge part of my job for the past...well, forever, and I'm really good at it. I'm the person everyone asks for help when they can't make it work and when ChatGPT can't make it work.
All of my web projects for the past two years or so are in Go, and I'm slowly migrating old stuff to Go, too. The deployment story alone is enough to make it worth the effort.
