Thank you for all the info. I will be upgrading the lights.

Is the light I have good for anything or just trash?

Thnaks, I will check those out.

I will get a better photo of the trunk. I’m sad it won’t get any taller but good to know, thank you.

Not two pictures but here is one.

I get that this has multiple in one pot. Will the short stubby trunk grow taller over time or do I need to do something to help it along? Maybe that’s as tall as it will ever be.

Do you have a recommendation for a better light? I figured this grow light would be good but I’ll trust you when you say it’s gimmicky.

Good to know, thank you for the heads up.

I’m not sure if this fits but here is mine:

I want to get away from Samsung but the “Sound Assistant” app let’s me control the volume of every app, kind of like a mixer. Sometimes an app doesn’t have a mute option, I can set the volume of that app to 0 without effecting the volume of whatever music I’m listening to.

I also like to listen to my local police scanner and music at the same time. I can set the volume of the scanner app low enough to not really bother the music but loud enough that if something happens I can still hear it and pause the music.

I can’t believe Samsung and their app is the only way, but I haven’t found an alternative.

This one because nostalgia

This came with some linux distro and I was able to find it on f-droid. Some of the games are better than others. Lots to choose from.

I think sox is what you want

I went ahead and asked a free AI how to use sox and played audio to trigger a script. Probably won’t be 100% accurate but maybe send you down the right path. Good luck.

1. Install ‘sox’ if you haven’t already. You can use the package manager of your Linux distribution to install it.

2. Open a terminal and use the ‘rec’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen to the audio input:

   sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3%
   

   This command will listen for audio and create a .wav file when it detects sound.

3. Write a script that will be triggered when a sound is detected. For example, you can create a script called “myscript.sh” with the following content:

   #!/bin/bash
   echo "Sound detected! Running my script."
   # Add your desired actions here
   

4. Make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal:

   chmod +x myscript.sh
   

5. Use the ‘rec’ command along with the ‘play’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen for sound and execute your script when sound is detected:

   sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3% | while read -r; do ./myscript.sh; done
   

   This command will continuously listen for sound and execute your script each time sound is detected.

Remember to customize the script “myscript.sh” with your desired actions.

Install BiglyBT from fdroid. That is a torrent downloader for android. It has a search function to find torrents. Or you can search torrents using any number of websites.

As for quality and size… At this point in your journey you’ll have to sort and filter manually for those.

Also, you won’t find many guides for android and everything does lean heavy on PC. So if you can afford it eventually get yourself a cheap laptop, it’ll make things much easier for you.

Last I knew this worked with vlc also, no ads

Honest question, (I don’t expect you to know) how many of those were some form of bot?
