rofi-mpd VS runit-services

I'm not planning to integrate library search. This is not meant to be a ncmpcpp alternative (it can be if you don't need the extra utilities like I do), but more like rofi-mpd. I did just find out the async-mpd crate, which would probably work if I were to reimplement this. Other mpd clients I found were either unmaintained or depends on tokio which I am not using. My implementation was only 300 lines anyways.

I did some digging and found this repository with some examples for runit scripts, but they needed a little bit of adjusting; specifically they make use of the deprecated pipewire-media-session. After adjusting them, I symlinked them in to my runsvdir and … still nothing! At this point, I almost decided to just go back to the shell script and let it go, but the next day I was picking at the problem again and found that the approach for per-user services as described in the void docs puts your user services into an environment that is isolated from your user session. You can take a look at the env of a process in htop, and if you look at any of your usual user-processes you'll probably see a long list of environment variables, but the user-level runsv process started by the system-level runit only knows about the variables you export in /etc/sv/runsvdir-your-username/run like HOME and USER. This effectively hamstrings services that need to run like other "normal" user processes.

git clone https://github.com/madand/runit-services cd runit-services sudo mv psd /etc/sv/ sudo ln -s /etc/sv/psd /var/service/ sudo chmod +x etc/sv/psd/*

I searched Internet,found this https://github.com/madand/runit-services/tree/master/thinkfan

use this repo backlight https://github.com/madand/runit-services

You can check it in here . I am currently using runit due to its ram usage. Psd syncs browser profile with the help of rysnc that's why its needed. And it's psd v5 because in v6 they made in systemd onlu.
