Linux was my saving grace from Windows, but OpenBSD is looking to become my saving grace from Linux (and GNU). 😅
Recreated my account in a new, deliberate effort to communicate in such a way that is not emotionally charged. We have enough of such polarizing content online and it must stop.
Haven’t posted on twtxt in a little bit; hope you’ve been good, people! Got a cool little music player project that I’ve been working on since March for my car. Hoping to reveal it publicly soon.
Boston, I’m breaking up with you. #covid19 https://peguero.xyz/blog/boston_im_breaking_up_with_you.html
I’m using fzf to build myself a personal music player. This tool is too cool. #fzf
find * -type d | sort | fzf --tac -e -i -s -m --preview 'mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv.socket {}' --bind "left:execute(printf '{ \"command\": [ \"seek\", -5 ] }\n' | socat - /tmp/mpv.socket)" --bind "right:execute(printf '{ \"command\": [ \"seek\", 5 ] }\n' | socat - /tmp/mpv.socket)" --bind 'enter:execute(echo "cycle pause" | socat - /tmp/mpv.socket)' --preview-window=up,1,:follow,:wrap
Since switching to Linux almost a decade ago, I’ve found offline music management (tagging) to be my biggest struggle, coming from Foobar2000 on Windows. No solution on Linux comes close to Foobar2000 and my music library has stagnated as a result.
And so, I am instead storing all music information (artist, title, year, etc.) in file names and retiring the practice of tagging altogether. I refuse to host a separate Windows machine to do this.
Anyone have a Stream Deck to automate their *nix desktop? I want one just for running scripts.
Just discovered fzf and it’s quickly becoming my favorite program alongside rofi. I already created an online radio selector and bookmark browser/launcher out of it.
I might toy around with it to create a (albeit hacky) music tag editor without having to resort to ncurses, as the only viable solution to offline music management is closed-source foobar2000, a Windows program; WINE doesn’t cut the cake.
There’s a lot of potential here.
