  • Its a holdover from the time before liquor started being sold in metric quantities. It’s not consistent at all, a pint is 375ml, a half pint is 200ml. A 5th, for fifth of a gallon, is 750ml. The names are used because they visually resemble the old containers. They are slowly falling out of use, but replacement terms haven’t really stuck and just stating the ml doesn’t have the same charm.

    Worth noting this just applies to booze. A pint of milk here means a US pint of milk (~473ml). Same goes for beer
















  • Ooh ooh, I know this one!

    You could run Mopidy, which has support for Subsonic libraries. You could also run plain MPD.

    Whatever you decide to go with can then be connected to Snapcast, which is a server/client setup for streaming audio from a source to multiple client endpoints (in this case your workshop, phone, PC, etc).

    On devices that can run the client software, like a desktop or phone, you just run the Snapcast client software.

    To connect stereo/AVR systems to Snapcast, you can build a streaming endpoint with a Raspberry Pi ZeroW with a Pirate Audio hat, or the version without the screen, and set up the Snapcast client software on it, and then connect it to your stereo system.

    If you have a 3D printer, you could optionally print out a case for the client devices.

    This is my setup, right down to using Navidrome as the Subsonic server and I couldn’t love it more!
