I code stuff. I draw stuff.

I’m a Hongkonger 🇭🇰
If you’re a westerner coming here because you’re arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.

  • Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

    I don’t have an unlimited data plan, so I use “Gelli” which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it’s buggy and haven’t been updated in a while, so I’m planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

    I found an Android music player named “Symphony”. It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.



  • Global hotkey is only used for playing the sounds and nothing else, and that is basically just running a command.

    This will play all files that has an audio stream (cls is also using this command):
    ffmpeg -i <file> -f s16le - | pacat -d <sink> --channels=<1 for mono, 2 for stereo> --rate=<sample rate> --volume=<0-65535, 65535 = 100%>

    I guess it is pretty complicated so maybe I’ll add a way to play files.

    Hongkonger moment

    I’m seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.

    For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don’t have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.

    There used to be a joke about “Lee’s Forcefield”, where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.

    Therefore yes, you’re going to work.
