gollark: Among many other things it fetches information from the MPD instance running my internet radio system, but after several hours it just stops working for ??? reasons.
gollark: This is the one which is partly broken for no reason.
gollark: My miscellaneous API stuff goes into one big 500 line python file, for economies of scale.
gollark: One somewhat important API I have running breaks mysteriously a few hours after I stop watching it and I haven't been able to work out why after several weeks.
