Version 0.6.0 of TerminalDrome released
A terminal-based music client for Navidrome (and other Subsonic-compatible servers), written in Rust.
Features
What's new in 0.6.0
- 🔀 Shuffle Mode — press
Shift+Swhile in any song list (album, playlist, or Jukebox queue) to instantly shuffle and restart playback. The currently playing song panel and progress bar turn magenta so you always know shuffle is active.
What was new in 0.5.x
- 🎉 Party / Jukebox Mode (
Shift+J) — streams your entire library in random order. Songs are fetched from the server in batches in the background, so even a library with tens of thousands of tracks works without loading everything into memory at once.
The new Jukebox Mode plays my entire library
TerminalDrome Features
I’m happy to announce that TerminalDrome has been officially added to the crates.io repository. This means you can now install and use TerminalDrome on your system with a simple
cargo install terminaldrome
command. I’ve also added the ability to use playlists in TerminalDrome, which wasn’t available before. You can use the TAB key to switch the left pane to the playlists. In the middle, you’ll see information about the playlist, and on the right, the songs it contains. Otherwise, there were many bug fixes: one was a buffer overflow at the end of a song, which caused the runtime to be recalculated and resulted in a crash. Another was a large number of warnings, which I’ve resolved.
I look forward to your feedback and appreciate any comments you may have.
New TerminalDrome Release 0.3.3
Hi, now that I’ve spent a lot of time working on my Linux PC build — you can read about it here. I’ve turned my attention back to my TerminalDrome software.
The biggest change is the possibility to switch via TAB Key to your playlists.
As you know, I’m a big fan of self-hosting, which is why I host my own music, among other things. And TerminalDrome is the little Navidrome terminal player.

Another Webbrowser for Mac OS X 10.5 PPC - BrassMonkey
The Browser is called BrassMonkey and is a fork of legendary Wicknix's SeaLion from Linux. The version we are talking about is from Nov 2025 but was only available for Intel Mac 10.6 and got now his way to 10.5 PPC. It is also based on the modern UXP Engine like Powerfox (Link) is, and has a new updated code for even better compatibility with logging into websites. It also doesn't have a JIT Compiler, so script heavy sites will be very slow. But it is written that people on the MacRumours Forums are currently in the process of porting a JIT to Powerfox. Maybe it will also be available for BrassMonkey.
Currently, there is only the G5 Processor (970) supported.
T2/Linux 26.3 “Desktop Edition”
Embedded Engineering Meets Cross-Architecture Desktop Ambition
T2/Linux has released version 26.3 "Desktop Edition," marking a significant milestone in delivering a modern, cross-architecture desktop experience.
The distribution distinguishes itself by providing a fully reproducible KDE Plasma Wayland session across nine different CPU architectures, including x86, ARM64, PowerPC, and RISC-V. This achievement is built on T2's long-standing foundation as a system development environment engineered for strict cross-compilation, architectural correctness, and deterministic builds.
Strange behavior of my PowerMac G5 - it doesn't boot anymore
Anyone who reads my blog from time to time is familiar with my PowerMac setup. I have two SSDs connected to the internal SATA ports: a 512 GB SATA SSD for Mac OS X 10.5 and a 128 GB SSD for Linux. I also have an NVMe SSD connected to the internal PCI Express x4 port.
New Version of TerminalDrome
After nine long months of laziness and overindulgence, I finally sat down again to work on my beautiful terminal client for Navidrome, TerminalDrome, and implemented a few bug fixes. I also made sure it continues to run everywhere and improved the code quality a bit.
I am proud to announce TerminalDrome 0.2.3 for your pleasure.
