The Bard and The Shell
A lot of introductions to using a shell — whether it’s Linux, one of the BSDs, the Mac (or even Windows using WSL!) — show examples that are a bit on the light side (looking at you, cowsay ?
) or dump cryptical command sequences on the unwary newbie that make an inscription in hieroglyphs on an Egyptian temple column look easy. Both approaches make sense. The first one tries not to scare people when they use the command line, while the second one shows how powerful it is compared to […]

Tachyonfx brings web-level animations to the command line..
Then Ratzilla puts it back in browsers where it belongs 🤷♂️

tfw you find a cool-looking tty colour scheme only to realize the creator didn't make the bright/bold variants different so it functionally only has 8 colours rather than 16 :|
Dear sound/audio folks and engineers,
I have a directory with 3.5GiB of audio files (chiefly opus & m4a) which are spoken word recordings.
Some of them are quite low, and some of them are quite dynamic such that it's a whisper at times and nearly a shout at other times.
I've processed a lot of them with #audacity's compressor filter or #ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a
), but there are some unprocessed files in the collection, which are a pain to individually find and fix.
Is there a way from the #CommandLine to detect the loudness and/or dynamic range of audio files so that I can automatically flag them for processing with ffmpeg?
Thanks!!
