Just sharing how “magical” the CLI can be. You are welcome.

-EDIT Did a little “oopsie” there. My bad. It’s fixed now.

-EDIT2 Nvm that, lemmy disliked my code for some reason. It’s in the pastebin link. And the code in there is working as intended.

    I’m pretty sure it just plays sounds/music.
    But still, I’m not running obfuscated code from the internet on my machine.

    EDIT:

    Nvm that, lemmy disliked my code for some reason.

    “Here, run this unreadable code” just goes against all rules of computer safety.

    EDIT2:

    And that’s one of the reasons.

    Aplay can wreck your speakers and/or soundcard depending on what’s fed to it.

    I wouldn’t even run this on someone else’s machine.

    Why tf would anyone run a random shell script on their machine? You don’t even need an RCE anymore you just need a dumb ass on social media.

    If you want to run some less low-level code to explore the kinds of sounds that code like this can create, I wrote a python applet that lets you explore random and custom functions interactively. It comes with several presets for interesting functions I’ve discovered on various websites.

    💯

    this is way more beautiful than i expected. amazing work!

    to everyone reporting this post as “malware”: 🤣 it really isn’t.

    (i read it carefully before running it… if you don’t comprehend something like this, refraining from running it is a good choice.)

    edit: lmao at the downvotes! For fun I ported it to Python… this version produces identical output to the original, but stops after a couple thousand seconds instead of running forever. and it is sadly 36 bytes longer.

    (maybe the python version helps convince a few people it isn’t malware?)

      A screencap on peertube would convince me it does not blow my ears off.
