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:
Quoteaplay /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 (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 (http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts.html)
You can list all the fonts on your computer by typing
locate .flf

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

Wow that's cute, I want one!
I finally finished it. I think I can make one for you Rachel, but it will take some time. Cross stitch has been a hobby of mine since 2021.
