软件推荐: mpd 音乐播放器

平时我只是播放单个文件或者url,所以喜欢用beep media player这样简单小巧的播放器。

今天突然想把自己屯的音乐放一起听, 因此需要一个能管理一个媒体库的播放器。 以前我挺喜欢rhythmbox和amarok的,不过突然发现我都给卸载了。正好前几天听说了个mpd,好多人说不错,我也想试试。

其实只是知道它是个c/s模式的播放器,挺新鲜的,但是对“好用”却不以为然。 但是用了5分钟后就发现其有趣的地方了。

首先是没有界面,我用的是命令行控制的,设好后客户端就可以关了,而服务器在后台,所以桌面上没有任何界面或图标。 这样才真正有背景音乐的感觉,因为“不知道从哪里来的声音”。 另外心理上也觉得省了图形界面的资源消耗。

然后就是日常控制很方便,用mpc的话10个字符左右就能完成日常操作。

当然也有不方便的地方,首先是配置有点麻烦,但是配置好后以后以后一般就不用动了。 再有就是有些控制不方便,比如涉及到文件名的一些操作。

但是总而言之,这个播放器很适合我,一方面我比较喜欢命令行,喜欢没有界面。 另一方面我没有特别的功能要求,把我的音乐列表播放了就行了。

安装的话当然要装个mpd,另外还需要个client,我装的是mpc,也有图形化的sonata, gmpc等。

需要注意的是我这里ubuntu7.10源里装的mpd,默认是带参数运行的,这样它只认/etc/mpd.conf, 而不像manpage里说的还查看home里的配置文件。

A Rocky Migration: Moving from docker-compose to Podman and gVisor

I've been running a few containers for several years. They were all running under rootless Docker with a single user. Initially, I planned to  migrate the containers to VMs , but I couldn't get a stable workflow after about two months of effort. Later,  gVisor caught my attention , and I decided to migrate to Podman with gVisor instead. The new plan is to run each container with  --userns=auto  and use Quadlet for systemd integration. This approach provides better isolation and makes writing firewall rules easier. I'm now close to migrating all my containers. Here are a couple of rough edges I'd like to share. Network Layout I compared  various networking options  and spent a few hours trying the one-interface-per-group approach before giving up. I settled on a single macvlan network and decided to use static IP addresses for my containers. To prevent a randomly assigned IP address from conflicting with a predefined one, I allocated a large IP range for my ...

GameConqueror 0.09 -- Linux Game Hacking Tool

If you are a game hacker If you've been looking for a `CheatEngine for Linux` Then you can't miss this. ============================================== GameConqueror is a game hacking tool for linux, it's written in PyGTK and uses scanmem as its backend. It's supposed to be with most useful features of CheatEngine for Linux. Currently, I've implemented almost everything about scanning, involving variant data types and scan types: Data Types: int{8/16/32/64}, float{32/64}, unknown type(int or float) and unknown width(will try each of them), byte array and string Scan Types: equal, greater, less, changed, unchanged, increased(by), decreased(by) This should be enough for most cases, so I decided to release it at the current status. ============================================= Here's how you can get it PPA (for Ubuntu users) https://launchpad.net/~coolwanglu/+archive/scanmem (I've not test it in 32bit environments or Jaunty, do please inform me if it doe...

Fix Google Security Code

Google Security Code (http://g.co/sc) is one type of 2-step verification. This is particularly useful when security keys and passkeys are not available. I have been using it in my LXC containers, until today I found out that it stopped working. It just kept saying "The code is invalid". It is easy to rule out some factors: The code works on other browsers on my laptop. The code works on other devices that are directly connected to the router. So it appears that Google also checks IP addresses besides the security code. Recently I have IPv6 enabled, so most devices that are directly connected to the router have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. But  I only enabled IPv4 for my LXC containers. So I guess when a code is generated by device A and used by device B, Google should be able to check that device A and device B are closely located. But in my case, IPv6 address appears on device A but not on device B, which may look suspicious. To fix the problem, I just needed to disable IPv...
