I probably mentioned this before, but I'm having a brain moment.
I'll be continuing AppImages for Benben and XQATool after all. The user experience is too valuable to me, even if the AppImage dev is disagreeable. But, I'll be building them on Slackware 15.0 going forward, so the glibc version required will go up slightly. This should impact almost no one.
Not sure if I'll be able to do AppImages for Aika since it's entirely plugin based...

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Apple announced that longtime hardware chief John Ternus, who joined the company in 2001 and has overseen Apple’s engineering and helped revive Mac sales, will succeed Tim Cook as CEO, while Cook moves to the role of executive chairman. The change marks a shift from Cook’s supply‑chain‑driven leadership to a focus on product design and hardware, with industry commentator Ben Bajarin noting Ternus’s popularity and fresh energy. In the same restructuring, Apple promoted Johny Srouji, the architect of its custom chips and sensors, to chief hardware officer.

Das ist ein super-angenehmes und interessantes Gespräch mit zwei Shaolin-Meistern!
Lohnt sich, sich die Zeit nehmen und es anzuhören, finde ich.
(Der Video-Titel ist leider Clickbait.)

I was intending this to be a blog post, but I guess it'll be a long Fedi post instead since I have a large char limit on my instance :-P Time to explain what I've been doing lately!
Basic, new music player: "Aika". I've named it after the character in Agent Aika because I like that anime and I'm just a lewd girl like that. If you know me well, you should not be surprised. Ask me who my Reika program is named after sometime...
Anyway, Aika is NOT a replacement for #Benben (that ain't going away, I love it too much). I gotta emphasize that. Benben will continue. Aika is simply another option for people. This one is special in that the UI is entirely based around #ZeroMQ sockets. So imagine having a local player, running like you see here, but then you can securely connect additional "Remote UIs" to it over a network. These can just connect/disconnect whenever you need, however many you want, and Aika will just keep doing its thing. Kinda like MPD, but easier to use, and you always have a local interface like you see here, never just an invisible process in the background. I call these "Remote UIs". Extremely useful for someone like me who goes around the house to multiple computers while wearing Bluetooth headphones... but it could technically also stream the audio over the network in the future, too. Anyway, I call this ZeroMQ UI stuff the "Remote UI Protocol", and it's Aika's main special thing.
Also, unlike Benben, this one will allow you to add and remove files while it's running through a built-in file browser. So whereas Benben was designed to be like a super sexy version of mpg123 from the start, Aika will be more like a terminal version of Audacious. Sorta. It'll still have its own feel.
Oh, and Aika uses plugins so that support for audio formats, playlist formats, backends, etc. can be changed without changing Aika itself (herself?). So that's another difference. They're just .so files.
The video here just shows a temporary UI that I'm using while I build out the Remote UI Protocol and get things working. It'll look different and more complete in time. This UI here is not yet a true Remote UI, it's entirely local and built into Aika (the "Local UI"), but it is using the Remote UI Protocol over ZeroMQ internally while I design it. Once I have that protocol finished and implemented, I'll convert this Local UI to not use ZeroMQ for some things (for latency reasons), then implement a true example Remote UI that mimics Benben's interface and can run on an entirely separate machine (even across the world if you want).
Lastly, Aika is written in Object #Pascal, not #CommonLisp. So whereas Benben has a 106mb binary (uncompressed, give or take), Aika currently has a 900kb binary. Whereas Benben uses 133 mb of RAM at runtime to play the Quake 2 soundtrack in FLAC format, Aika currently uses 5mb. Also, Aika has been using about half to one quarter less CPU than Benben so far.
It'll be quite a while until Aika is ready for a v0.1.0 release, but I've got the beginnings going on here. The code will be a bit messy at first until the protocol designs solidify, the UI is very incomplete, there's no resampling yet, and it crashes/deadlocks sometimes... but it's at least able to play albums in FLAC format right now :happyremi: https://fossil.cyberia9.org/aika/
As for Benben.. I blasted through the milestones for v1.0.0 a lot quicker than I expected, so expect it out sooner than later. Maybe mid summer.
EDIT: Oh, and Aika is specifically targeting any POSIX-compatible OS. I'm actually testing things fairly regularly on #Haiku to ensure it works there in particular. -

Heads up: I've moved a number of my Fossil repos off of chiselapp. That site is just too unstable anymore, and they haven't moved* to the newer Fossil versions that block scrapers. Here's a blog post describing all of the new links: https://remilia.sdf.org/blog/2026-03-30-a.html
This includes the official site for Benben! It's now at https://fossil.cyberia9.org/benben/

Well, the #ListenBrainz integration in #Benben is a bit smarter now. If Benben goes to submit something to it, and it can't 'cause of a network error or similar, then it will store the submission and try again later. This functionality is in the
trunkcode in the repository. I've also updated the manual to describe how ListenBrainz integration works in Benben.
EDIT: And as of a few minutes ago, Benben also submits MusicBrainz IDs for the Release, Recording, and Artist if they're present in the track metadata.

Heads up 2: Reika has been updated to v0.0.4 to fix an issue with building Lisp software. You'll want to grab this update to fix building #Benben and #XQATool.
https://fossil.cyberia9.org/reika/
https://fossil.cyberia9.org/reika/file?name=NEWS&ci=trunk
Also, Benben now uses the newer Cyberia 9 Fossil repos in its Reika project file. You'll want to do anrm -rf deps/inside your Benben folder thenreika updateto grab the new ones (since Reika isn't that smart yet).
