I love Linux

This kept me awake all night long:
$ date; sleep 30m && aplay /dev/urandom

y

try this: playfont() { (cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc a-zA-Z0-9 | fold -bw 80 | while read; do figlet -w "${2-80}" -f "${1-term}" "$REPLY"; done | aplay) 2>&-; }it (optionally) accepts two arguments. the first is the FIGlet font file name, the second is the line-wrap length

You're right, this does sound nicer than just piping /dev/urandom to aplay. Do you have any recommended fonts?

I think it's more fun to listen to structured binary files, like this:

aplay /bin/bash

Do you know any other programs that sound good?

dohdoh 1alligator 1alphabanner 1bearcrazy 1isometric1Actually, just go to this list and try any of the ones which have unique geometry: http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts/overview.html
I got most of my fonts from that website, btw: http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts.html
You can list all the fonts on your computer by typing locate .flf

Whoa I never thought of that.
Why not play them all?
aplay /usr/bin/*brrrrrrrrrrr EEEEEEEEEE ASDFJKLWFPOQIUBPASCJOAPJEPQOCMAPJFQPIEJFIWEGRIJFUHFJGKFP...
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr EE EOFJWEOPFJOWPEJPMVPOSDFJPWOIFIOWIJPOIFJPWOIGEPORIWEJPOWWE...

On another note, try this: tree / | aplay

save as freedom.png
aplay freedom.png
EDIT: IT WORKS NOW

save as freedom.png

Code: [Select]

aplay freedom.png

Hey, this is pretty cool, but for best results you need to specify the sample rate.

aplay -r 16000 ~/Pictures/freedom.png
Playing raw data '~/Pictures/freedom.png' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono

The default of 8000 is very weird and slowed down.

Yeah, for a long while my alarm was a little script that threw random binary files at aplay until killed. Try aplay /bin/sed

Unfortunately, a new phone isn't in my budget until at least May 2019. Full-priced phones should last me at least 2 years.
