I was asked to write a program to resize thousands of images which were gonna be uploaded to a website. Images had to be the same height for them to look organized in gallery. I remembered how I used [imagemagick](https://imagemagick.org/) to write [desktop-clock](https://gitlab.com/murtezayesil/student/-/tree/master/sh/desktop-clock "use imagemagick, figlet and feh for tty-clock on wallpaper"), immitate tty-clock on wallpaper. That experience helped me to design the program in my mind as we continue to speak on the phone.

<h1>This is a learning opportunity</h1>
<p>Since I don't have much of an experience on shell scripting, I was <a href="https://start.duckduckgo.com/" title="DuckDuckGo">Duck</a>ing everything. I learned to do few things during this task.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=for+loop+shell+script" title="There are many tutorials">For loops in shell script</a></li>
<li>Getting <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437452/how-to-get-the-list-of-files-in-a-directory-in-a-shell-script" title="I didn't know how to use asteriks 😅️">list of files</a></li>
<li>Correct syntax for <a href="https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php" title="It ain't magick but it quiet is 😉️">resizing with ImageMagick</a></li>
</ol>
<p>After reading tutorials and looking at examples everything felt as simple as lego. I just needed to put them together. </p>
<p>Here is <code>image_shrinker.v0.1_alpha.sh</code> :</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale 1000000x800 ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :</p>
<ol>
<li>Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.</li>
<li>Script must be in same directory as images</li>
<li>PWD must point to the directory where script is</li>
</ol>
<h2>Adjustable resolution</h2>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="nv">WIDTH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$1</span> <span class="p">;</span> <span class="nv">HEIGHT</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$2</span>
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale <span class="nv">$WIDTHx$HEIGHT</span> ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">[</span> <span class="nv">$#</span> -lt <span class="m">2</span> <span class="o">]</span>
<span class="k">then</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span> <span class="s2">&quot;USAGE:&quot;</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span> -e <span class="s2">&quot;\t\$IMAGE_DIRECTORY/image_shrinker.sh WIDTH HEIGHT&quot;</span>
<span class="nb">exit</span> <span class="m">1</span>
<span class="k">fi</span>
<span class="nv">WIDTH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$1</span> <span class="p">;</span> <span class="nv">HEIGHT</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$2</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="k">for</span> image in *
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale <span class="nv">$Resolution</span> ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Here is some other attempt to make code a bit more flexible in terms of where images can be and where output can go. Actually no but that is what I was going for 😜️</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
<span class="nv">DIR</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="sb">`</span><span class="nb">pwd</span><span class="sb">`</span>
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*.*
<span class="k">do</span>
<span class="c1"># Below code will scale images to 800px height without breaking aspect ratio</span>
convert <span class="nv">$DIR</span>/<span class="nv">$image</span> -scale 10000x800 -write <span class="nv">$DIR</span>/../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>My one and only phone, Andromeda, is a Redmi Note 4. I purchased it 3 years ago. It initially suffered from problems such as consuming battery for self overheating. But I later switched custom ROMs, Lineage and Havoc OS, and battery started to last more than a day. Andromeda served me well in its 3 years of service and it continues to do so albeit with some hickups.</p>
<p>I am not the best phone user. I actually am a clumsy person who drops his phone on regular basis. So much so that Andromeda's display got replaced once and glass twice. Its glass is broken as I write these lines 😁️</p>
<p>But broken glass isn't the issue. It still detects my touches fairly accurately. Real problem is that, a recent drop resulted <strong>front speaker to stop working</strong> so that I can't hear other person during phone calls and some copper piece come out of headphone jack which rendered <strong>microphone on headsets to not connect</strong> so that other person cannot hear me during a phone call (if I am using a headphone). My temporary solution was to use loud speaker which is annoying and makes private calls difficult. Also it is rude in public. Another option was bluetooth speaker which requires some budget.</p>
<p>I could spare 20$ for a pair bluetooth earphones. Pretty generous huh 😜️<br>
Anyway, after some market search I set my mind on Redmi Airdots.</p>
<p><strong>Do I recommend them?</strong><br>
No and Yes. They aren't the best earphones, not even best in-ear earphones, but they are affordable.<br>
Just like every other in-ear earphones, they aren't comfortable even after I replaced the tips with different size that better fits 😕️ They will do for now. It isn't too much of a deal since I am planning to use them only for calls. Speakers on wired earphones still work with the phone fortunately.</p>

As a young adult, I remember the times the CDs were the king of music distribution. But they are long gone. Thanks to internet, digital music stores and music streaming services replaced CDs.<br>
So here I am, looking for the best music listening solution I can get. After a little search on the internet I came up with the below list of music stores or streaming services.</p>

<p>There are many options and above isn't an exhaustive list. Thankfully I have constraints to help me make more educated choice.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Availability</strong> (in my region) : Even though I can use VPN to appear on some other location on the face of Earth, my bank card will give my location up or won't be accepted 👎️</li>
<li><strong>DRM</strong> : I want to put music on my phone, computer and even my NextCloud to listen from anywhere. When I spent money on music, I don't want to stuck with whatever the vendor supports. I want no vendor lock-in or any other limitation. Those limitations are pushing many people to pirate 😥️</li>
<li><strong>Discoverability</strong> : Whenever there is a new music, I want to be able to find it.</li>
<li><strong>Options</strong> : Does it even has my jazz!</li>
</ol>

<h2>Why BandCamp</h2>
<p>DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.</p>
<h2>Why Jamendo</h2>
<p>Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.</p>
<h3>I love DRM-free stuff</h3>
<p>As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️</p>

<h2>Why not pirate <img height="25em" width="auto" src="https://fosstodon.b-cdn.net/custom_emojis/images/000/083/931/original/a43b334e1ab006d2.png" alt="funny shaped thinking emoji"></h2>
<p>I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.</p>
<hr>
<p>* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as <a href="https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons" title="read a little description here">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>. You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.</p><!-- Comments -->

&lt;span class="p"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt; resize to &lt;span class="nv"&gt;height&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="m"&gt;800&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;oo&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="se"&gt;\_&lt;/span&gt;______

&lt;span class="o"&gt;||&lt;/span&gt;----w &lt;span class="p"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;||&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;||&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;This is a learning opportunity&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I don't have much of an experience on shell scripting, I was &lt;a href="https://start.duckduckgo.com/" title="DuckDuckGo"&gt;Duck&lt;/a&gt;ing everything. I learned to do few things during this task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=for+loop+shell+script" title="There are many tutorials"&gt;For loops in shell script&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Getting &lt;a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437452/how-to-get-the-list-of-files-in-a-directory-in-a-shell-script" title="I didn't know how to use asteriks 😅️"&gt;list of files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Correct syntax for &lt;a href="https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php" title="It ain't magick but it quiet is 😉️"&gt;resizing with ImageMagick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After reading tutorials and looking at examples everything felt as simple as lego. I just needed to put them together. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is &lt;code&gt;image_shrinker.v0.1_alpha.sh&lt;/code&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale 1000000x800 ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Script must be in same directory as images&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PWD must point to the directory where script is&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Adjustable resolution&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;WIDTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$WIDTHx$HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt; ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$#&lt;/span&gt; -lt &lt;span class="m"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;&amp;quot;USAGE:&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; -e &lt;span class="s2"&gt;&amp;quot;\t\$IMAGE_DIRECTORY/image_shrinker.sh WIDTH HEIGHT&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;exit&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="m"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;WIDTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$2&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in *
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$Resolution&lt;/span&gt; ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is some other attempt to make code a bit more flexible in terms of where images can be and where output can go. Actually no but that is what I was going for 😜️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;DIR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sb"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nb"&gt;pwd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sb"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*.*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="c1"&gt;# Below code will scale images to 800px height without breaking aspect ratio&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$DIR&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale 10000x800 -write &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$DIR&lt;/span&gt;/../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is hard to ask for help (especially after torturing with my code) but if you would like to give me feedback and advice, reply to toot of this post.&lt;/p&gt;</content><category term="Tech"></category><category term="code"></category><category term="100DaysToOffload"></category></entry><entry><title>Switching to Bluetooth earphones</title><link href="https://murtezayesil.me/switching-to-bluetooth-earphones.html" rel="alternate"></link><published>2020-08-11T18:29:00+06:00</published><updated>2020-08-11T18:29:00+06:00</updated><author><name>Ali Murteza Yesil</name></author><id>tag:murtezayesil.me,2020-08-11:/switching-to-bluetooth-earphones.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;After I droped my phone and broke its headphone jack, I had to switch to bluetooth earphone.

&lt;p&gt;I am not the best phone user. I actually am a clumsy person who drops his phone on regular basis. So much so that Andromeda's display got replaced once and glass twice. Its glass is broken as I write these lines 😁️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But broken glass isn't the issue. It still detects my touches fairly accurately. Real problem is that, a recent drop resulted &lt;strong&gt;front speaker to stop working&lt;/strong&gt; so that I can't hear other person during phone calls and some copper piece come out of headphone jack which rendered &lt;strong&gt;microphone on headsets to not connect&lt;/strong&gt; so that other person cannot hear me during a phone call (if I am using a headphone). My temporary solution was to use loud speaker which is annoying and makes private calls difficult. Also it is rude in public. Another option was bluetooth speaker which requires some budget.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could spare 20$ for a pair bluetooth earphones. Pretty generous huh 😜️&lt;br&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Correct syntax for &lt;a href="https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php" title="It ain't magick but it quiet is 😉️"&gt;resizing with ImageMagick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After reading tutorials and looking at examples everything felt as simple as lego. I just needed to put them together. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is &lt;code&gt;image_shrinker.v0.1_alpha.sh&lt;/code&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale 1000000x800 ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Script must be in same directory as images&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PWD must point to the directory where script is&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Adjustable resolution&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;WIDTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$WIDTHx$HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt; ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$#&lt;/span&gt; -lt &lt;span class="m"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;&amp;quot;USAGE:&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; -e &lt;span class="s2"&gt;&amp;quot;\t\$IMAGE_DIRECTORY/image_shrinker.sh WIDTH HEIGHT&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;exit&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="m"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;WIDTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$2&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in *
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$Resolution&lt;/span&gt; ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is some other attempt to make code a bit more flexible in terms of where images can be and where output can go. Actually no but that is what I was going for 😜️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;DIR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sb"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nb"&gt;pwd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sb"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*.*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="c1"&gt;# Below code will scale images to 800px height without breaking aspect ratio&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$DIR&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale 10000x800 -write &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$DIR&lt;/span&gt;/../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is hard to ask for help (especially after torturing with my code) but if you would like to give me feedback and advice, reply to toot of this post.&lt;/p&gt;</content><category term="Tech"></category><category term="code"></category><category term="100DaysToOffload"></category></entry><entry><title>Digital Cleansing For Better Privacy</title><link href="https://murtezayesil.me/digital-cleansing-for-better-privacy.html" rel="alternate"></link><published>2020-07-12T00:07:00+06:00</published><updated>2020-07-12T00:07:00+06:00</updated><author><name>Ali Murteza Yesil</name></author><id>tag:murtezayesil.me,2020-07-12:/digital-cleansing-for-better-privacy.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;I am documenting my journey to claiming my digital freedom.

&lt;p&gt;I am not the first to do this. There are many privacy friendly alternatives developed by people who care about privacy. It isn't hard to find those &lt;a href="https://alternativeto.net/" title="Crowdsourced Software Recomendations"&gt;alternatives&lt;/a&gt;. Many people went through this journey, which I call "Digital Cleansing For Better Privacy". During my journey, I will document the steps I have taken and write my thoughts about the alternatives I tried.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;This is a learning opportunity&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I don't have much of an experience on shell scripting, I was &lt;a href="https://start.duckduckgo.com/" title="DuckDuckGo"&gt;Duck&lt;/a&gt;ing everything. I learned to do few things during this task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=for+loop+shell+script" title="There are many tutorials"&gt;For loops in shell script&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is &lt;code&gt;image_shrinker.v0.1_alpha.sh&lt;/code&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;PWD must point to the directory where script is&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;This is a learning opportunity&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I don't have much of an experience on shell scripting, I was &lt;a href="https://start.duckduckgo.com/" title="DuckDuckGo"&gt;Duck&lt;/a&gt;ing everything. I learned to do few things during this task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=for+loop+shell+script" title="There are many tutorials"&gt;For loops in shell script&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Getting &lt;a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437452/how-to-get-the-list-of-files-in-a-directory-in-a-shell-script" title="I didn't know how to use asteriks 😅️"&gt;list of files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Correct syntax for &lt;a href="https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php" title="It ain't magick but it quiet is 😉️"&gt;resizing with ImageMagick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After reading tutorials and looking at examples everything felt as simple as lego. I just needed to put them together. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is &lt;code&gt;image_shrinker.v0.1_alpha.sh&lt;/code&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale 1000000x800 ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Script must be in same directory as images&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PWD must point to the directory where script is&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Adjustable resolution&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;WIDTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$WIDTHx$HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt; ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$#&lt;/span&gt; -lt &lt;span class="m"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;&amp;quot;USAGE:&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; -e &lt;span class="s2"&gt;&amp;quot;\t\$IMAGE_DIRECTORY/image_shrinker.sh WIDTH HEIGHT&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nb"&gt;exit&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="m"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;WIDTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nv"&gt;HEIGHT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$2&lt;/span&gt;
mkdir ../output
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in *
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$Resolution&lt;/span&gt; ../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is some other attempt to make code a bit more flexible in terms of where images can be and where output can go. Actually no but that is what I was going for 😜️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="ch"&gt;#!/bin/sh&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nv"&gt;DIR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sb"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nb"&gt;pwd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sb"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; image in ./*.*
&lt;span class="k"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="c1"&gt;# Below code will scale images to 800px height without breaking aspect ratio&lt;/span&gt;
convert &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$DIR&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt; -scale 10000x800 -write &lt;span class="nv"&gt;$DIR&lt;/span&gt;/../output/&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$image&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;done&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>My one and only phone, Andromeda, is a Redmi Note 4. I purchased it 3 years ago. It initially suffered from problems such as consuming battery for self overheating. But I later switched custom ROMs, Lineage and Havoc OS, and battery started to last more than a day. Andromeda served me well in its 3 years of service and it continues to do so albeit with some hickups.</p>
<p>I am not the best phone user. I actually am a clumsy person who drops his phone on regular basis. So much so that Andromeda's display got replaced once and glass twice. Its glass is broken as I write these lines 😁️</p>
<p>But broken glass isn't the issue. It still detects my touches fairly accurately. Real problem is that, a recent drop resulted <strong>front speaker to stop working</strong> so that I can't hear other person during phone calls and some copper piece come out of headphone jack which rendered <strong>microphone on headsets to not connect</strong> so that other person cannot hear me during a phone call (if I am using a headphone). My temporary solution was to use loud speaker which is annoying and makes private calls difficult. Also it is rude in public. Another option was bluetooth speaker which requires some budget.</p>
<p>I could spare 20$ for a pair bluetooth earphones. Pretty generous huh 😜️<br>
Anyway, after some market search I set my mind on Redmi Airdots.</p>
<p><strong>Do I recommend them?</strong><br>
No and Yes. They aren't the best earphones, not even best in-ear earphones, but they are affordable.<br>
Just like every other in-ear earphones, they aren't comfortable even after I replaced the tips with different size that better fits 😕️ They will do for now. It isn't too much of a deal since I am planning to use them only for calls. Speakers on wired earphones still work with the phone fortunately.</p>

<h1>This is a learning opportunity</h1>
<p>Since I don't have much of an experience on shell scripting, I was <a href="https://start.duckduckgo.com/" title="DuckDuckGo">Duck</a>ing everything. I learned to do few things during this task.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=for+loop+shell+script" title="There are many tutorials">For loops in shell script</a></li>
<li>Getting <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437452/how-to-get-the-list-of-files-in-a-directory-in-a-shell-script" title="I didn't know how to use asteriks 😅️">list of files</a></li>
<li>Correct syntax for <a href="https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php" title="It ain't magick but it quiet is 😉️">resizing with ImageMagick</a></li>
</ol>
<p>After reading tutorials and looking at examples everything felt as simple as lego. I just needed to put them together. </p>
<p>Here is <code>image_shrinker.v0.1_alpha.sh</code> :</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale 1000000x800 ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :</p>
<ol>
<li>Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.</li>
<li>Script must be in same directory as images</li>
<li>PWD must point to the directory where script is</li>
</ol>
<h2>Adjustable resolution</h2>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="nv">WIDTH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$1</span> <span class="p">;</span> <span class="nv">HEIGHT</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$2</span>
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale <span class="nv">$WIDTHx$HEIGHT</span> ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">[</span> <span class="nv">$#</span> -lt <span class="m">2</span> <span class="o">]</span>
<span class="k">then</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span> <span class="s2">&quot;USAGE:&quot;</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span> -e <span class="s2">&quot;\t\$IMAGE_DIRECTORY/image_shrinker.sh WIDTH HEIGHT&quot;</span>
<span class="nb">exit</span> <span class="m">1</span>
<span class="k">fi</span>
<span class="nv">WIDTH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$1</span> <span class="p">;</span> <span class="nv">HEIGHT</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$2</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="k">for</span> image in *
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale <span class="nv">$Resolution</span> ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Here is some other attempt to make code a bit more flexible in terms of where images can be and where output can go. Actually no but that is what I was going for 😜️</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
<span class="nv">DIR</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="sb">`</span><span class="nb">pwd</span><span class="sb">`</span>
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*.*
<span class="k">do</span>
<span class="c1"># Below code will scale images to 800px height without breaking aspect ratio</span>
convert <span class="nv">$DIR</span>/<span class="nv">$image</span> -scale 10000x800 -write <span class="nv">$DIR</span>/../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>It is hard to ask for help (especially after torturing with my code) but if you would like to give me feedback and advice, reply to toot of this post.</p><!-- Comments -->

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>My one and only phone, Andromeda, is a Redmi Note 4. I purchased it 3 years ago. It initially suffered from problems such as consuming battery for self overheating. But I later switched custom ROMs, Lineage and Havoc OS, and battery started to last more than a day. Andromeda served me well in its 3 years of service and it continues to do so albeit with some hickups.</p>
<p>I am not the best phone user. I actually am a clumsy person who drops his phone on regular basis. So much so that Andromeda's display got replaced once and glass twice. Its glass is broken as I write these lines 😁️</p>
<p>But broken glass isn't the issue. It still detects my touches fairly accurately. Real problem is that, a recent drop resulted <strong>front speaker to stop working</strong> so that I can't hear other person during phone calls and some copper piece come out of headphone jack which rendered <strong>microphone on headsets to not connect</strong> so that other person cannot hear me during a phone call (if I am using a headphone). My temporary solution was to use loud speaker which is annoying and makes private calls difficult. Also it is rude in public. Another option was bluetooth speaker which requires some budget.</p>
<p>I could spare 20$ for a pair bluetooth earphones. Pretty generous huh 😜️<br>
Anyway, after some market search I set my mind on Redmi Airdots.</p>
<p><strong>Do I recommend them?</strong><br>
No and Yes. They aren't the best earphones, not even best in-ear earphones, but they are affordable.<br>
Just like every other in-ear earphones, they aren't comfortable even after I replaced the tips with different size that better fits 😕️ They will do for now. It isn't too much of a deal since I am planning to use them only for calls. Speakers on wired earphones still work with the phone fortunately.</p>

<p>This version has problems which I can't call "feature" 😁️ :</p>
<ol>
<li>Resolution is hard coded. Btw, only way to define resolution is in WIDTHxHEIGHT format AFAIK.</li>
<li>Script must be in same directory as images</li>
<li>PWD must point to the directory where script is</li>
</ol>
<h2>Adjustable resolution</h2>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="nv">WIDTH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$1</span> <span class="p">;</span> <span class="nv">HEIGHT</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$2</span>
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale <span class="nv">$WIDTHx$HEIGHT</span> ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This fixes the hard coded resolution problem but new problem is that the user has to know that WIDTH and HEIGHT must be given. I fix that by showing correct syntax to the user and then exiting :</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">[</span> <span class="nv">$#</span> -lt <span class="m">2</span> <span class="o">]</span>
<span class="k">then</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span> <span class="s2">&quot;USAGE:&quot;</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span> -e <span class="s2">&quot;\t\$IMAGE_DIRECTORY/image_shrinker.sh WIDTH HEIGHT&quot;</span>
<span class="nb">exit</span> <span class="m">1</span>
<span class="k">fi</span>
<span class="nv">WIDTH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$1</span> <span class="p">;</span> <span class="nv">HEIGHT</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$2</span>
mkdir ../output
<span class="k">for</span> image in *
<span class="k">do</span>
convert <span class="nv">$image</span> -scale <span class="nv">$Resolution</span> ../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Here is some other attempt to make code a bit more flexible in terms of where images can be and where output can go. Actually no but that is what I was going for 😜️</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/sh</span>
<span class="nv">DIR</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="sb">`</span><span class="nb">pwd</span><span class="sb">`</span>
<span class="k">for</span> image in ./*.*
<span class="k">do</span>
<span class="c1"># Below code will scale images to 800px height without breaking aspect ratio</span>
convert <span class="nv">$DIR</span>/<span class="nv">$image</span> -scale 10000x800 -write <span class="nv">$DIR</span>/../output/<span class="nv">$image</span>
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>It is hard to ask for help (especially after torturing with my code) but if you would like to give me feedback and advice, reply to toot of this post.</p><!-- Comments -->
