Virginia DeBolt<p><strong>Opus with Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich</strong></p> <p>Opus is an allegory. The dictionary defines allegory as “a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.” That’s the closest I can come to interpreting what is happening in this muddled movie.</p> <p> […]</p> <p><a href="https://oldaintdead.com/opus-with-ayo-edebiri-and-john-malkovich/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">oldaintdead.com/opus-with-ayo-</span><span class="invisible">edebiri-and-john-malkovich/</span></a></p>

Custard! 🍮:fedora:<p>Vengo a explicar mi maqueta<br>Hace rato me aventé un script de bash buenorro, ya tenía rato que no hacía algo así</p><p>TheModArchive es una página que contiene una extensa colección de módulos de música secuenciados en 'secuenciadores' de en su mayoría, computadoras antiguas, desde la Amiga hasta la PC</p><p>Entre ellos, bastantes "chiptunes", sí, esa musiquita que suele venir en generadores de números de serie y cracks para programas conocidos, los cuales disfruto mucho escuchar</p><p>Estos módulos son reproducibles en sus secuenciadores originales, o con ayuda de reproductores de música que soporten estos formatos, sobretodo en PC, ya sea Linux, Mac o PC, pero no son un formato " accesible" como el MP3, FLAC o WAV, de la compu no pasan, ya que su formato tiene su chiste<br>El archivo contiene la secuencia musical, con efectos en las notas, su duración etc, y, las muestras de sonido necesarias para que sean tocadas a como se necesita en esa secuencia, son partes separadas, pero trabajan en conjunto para formar una canción.</p><p>Bueno, qué hace este script?</p><p>La tirada es descargar toda esa colección, módulo por módulo, convertirlos a OPUS (MP3 is dead), etiquetarlos correctamente, calcular su ganancia de reproducción e integrarlos a mi biblioteca musical</p><p>El script descarga la página de cada módulo, busca en el marcado HTML la sección correspondiente al mismo, y descarga lo necesario, convierte, etiqueta, archiva</p><p>Todo usando herramientas comunes en Linux: wget, head, cut, y algunas extras: openmpt123, pup, rsgain, opusenc, aubio, exiftool</p><p>Esta funcionando de maravilla! Estoy orgulloso y feliz de esto<br>Además, ya tengo para escuchar por horas y horas, días, quizá años (cuando acabe me daré cuenta de la sumatoria del tiempo de reproducción)</p><p><a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/Chiptune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chiptune</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/Mod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mod</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/TheModArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheModArchive</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/Bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bash</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/OPUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OPUS</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://bonito.cafe/tags/Scene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scene</span></a></p>
