I think sox is what you want

I went ahead and asked a free AI how to use sox and played audio to trigger a script. Probably won’t be 100% accurate but maybe send you down the right path. Good luck.

1. Install ‘sox’ if you haven’t already. You can use the package manager of your Linux distribution to install it.

2. Open a terminal and use the ‘rec’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen to the audio input:

   sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3%
   

   This command will listen for audio and create a .wav file when it detects sound.

3. Write a script that will be triggered when a sound is detected. For example, you can create a script called “myscript.sh” with the following content:

   #!/bin/bash
   echo "Sound detected! Running my script."
   # Add your desired actions here
   

4. Make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal:

   chmod +x myscript.sh
   

5. Use the ‘rec’ command along with the ‘play’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen for sound and execute your script when sound is detected:

   sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3% | while read -r; do ./myscript.sh; done
   

   This command will continuously listen for sound and execute your script each time sound is detected.

Remember to customize the script “myscript.sh” with your desired actions.

Any of these

Install BiglyBT from fdroid. That is a torrent downloader for android. It has a search function to find torrents. Or you can search torrents using any number of websites.

As for quality and size… At this point in your journey you’ll have to sort and filter manually for those.

Also, you won’t find many guides for android and everything does lean heavy on PC. So if you can afford it eventually get yourself a cheap laptop, it’ll make things much easier for you.

I dunno if that’s actually an Alan Parsons quote but up vote for any mention of his name. Does sound like something he’d say.

Hopefully you have better luck with the batteries than I did

RIP in peace Pebble

Not enough people have seen Strange Days… Werid af movie. I need to re-watch it

As much as I hate to say it, Instagram is pretty decent for artisan/niche stuff. There you can actually see them making. Assuming they don’t use tricky camera angles or other bs.

But it’s sad that the answer for one cancer is another cancer

My first thought exactly

Like most things it’s all about perspective

Macrofactor is what I have been using for a few years, love it.

It is paid but they offer a free trial. No ads, no pop-ups, no notifications. Just a clean and fast user experience

It kinda defeats the purpose of open ear but try wearing earplugs.

That’s what I do when I use loud tools with my shockz

I’ll eat oats by themselves and dry

Last I knew this worked with vlc also, no ads

… making it inconvenient and expensive enough that most people won’t bother.

Sounds like life in general

Yeah buddy, search up some tutorials and get after it.

I like to sit around and tie knots. It keeps my hands busy and I feel like it’s something that could actually be of use too. First Class Amateur on YouTube is a great way to start.

Ropes, strings, cords, whatever you want to call it, can all be found just about anywhere and are pretty inexpensive

There is also the wide world of weaving/braiding bracelets and things. Google Macrame and boondoggle knots

if i understand correctly it’s a known bug thats going to be fixed
