Euphonica is a Rust-Powered MPD Client Heavy on Bling
MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.

I play a #solitaire #cardGame called Yukon. The rules and a typical start point are attached.
The fewest moves I’ve taken to complete 1 game is 76. I’m guessing the fewest possible moves would be 52. A perfect deal. My question is, how do I calculate how many different deals would turn out perfect…
@… I’m sure it will; feed aggregators typically notice when a feed is dormant and scan it less frequently.

Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
"With flowery perfumes
precious, queenly
you anointed yourself
and on beds of soft luxury
you would satisfy all your longing
for that tender girl"

I am once again getting a wave of right-wing spam SMSes from Hillsdale College (purportedly). Are they actually letting their institution’s name be attached to political spam? I realize there are all kinds of super gross things about Hillsdale as an institution, but even so, I’d think the institution would want to preserve some shred of self-respect, or at least try to keep up appearances.
The spam links are all the domain rght.io followed by 6-character alphanumeric codes, such as:
http://rght.io/jjne75
http://rght.io/ip0l3b
http://rght.io/646anh
http://rght.io/aem0ai
http://rght.io/8gplnp
http://rght.io/mncl8i
http://rght.io/eo556l
http://rght.io/15bk46
http://rght.io/igd8ga
http://rght.io/pp2ggf
(Those are random examples, I don’t want them validating my number; I just want to send the typical Fedi server traffic their way.)
I haven’t investigated the domain, server, etc. at all, but if anyone is inspired…have at it!
