Looks like Dreamhost is getting rid of Mailman email lists. We might be the last people still using Mailman email lists but we use them a lot. Have a ton of other stuff hosted on Dreamhost so don't want to move entirely. Does anyone happen to know of any cheap or free alternatives for just Mailman hosting that they recommend?
I found a Novation Launchpad at the local thriftshop, it's a slick little controller meant for Ableton Live. I then found an awesome Python library that lets me use it for whatever I want so I made a gizmo to play my favorite college and community radio stations from around the world:
It's connected to a Pi 3B with the HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro audio hat. I love that audio hat, I think it sounds noticeably better than the other one I tried. But it's entirely possible the difference is user error (alsamixer settings, etc).
The problem or quandary is that the Pi is on the other side of the room from my stereo, so I'm using 50 feet of 1/8" audio cable. Not even particularly good audio cable. It sounds really good, especially given the long cable run, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong. I should be sending the signal digitally, right?
If so, should I just use a long HDMI cable? Is the HDMI audio likely better than the audio from the soundcard I'm using, especially given the long cable run?
Or any other ideas?
If anyone is wise in the ways of extracting the audio from HDMI, and has DAC recommendations, I'd love to hear them. And my stereo amp doesn't have HDMI inputs, but I wonder if an AVR style receiver would sound noticeably better than my current setup.
