A few more notes as I'm trying to figure how to put this display into good use:
- Digging some more around the internets, I've found out that Argon40's POD Display is manufactured by Waveshare. However, the drivers available are provided by the same script included on Argon40's POD system manual.
- The Pod display comes with 4 programmable GPIO buttons that are documented in their manual. I will try them out using moode's GPIO buttons. I'm guessing that "Cmd" for each button is supposed to be an mpd command, right?
I really enjoyed reading that
I can't recall the specifics currently , but wasn't the Wayland promise about to change everything since a decade or two ago but everyone kept using X?

Beginning an Internet hostname with a digit has been legal since late 1989 (RFC1123) but it still makes this old graybeard shudder. You never know when some poorly crafted piece of code will make an assumption that a string which begins with a digit must be a number rather than an identifier.
