For years I was dedicated to my craft of buying records of vinyl, ripping the songs to WAV and Djing alongside my digital collection of music compiled over years from various sources. More recently, I've found myself almost entirely converted to the use of Spotify! However, some of my more obscure soundcloud downloads and vinyl rips are missing from Spotify and so an Azure based Plex server, and the Plex app on my laptop and phone are the perfect solution.

I followed the steps from this video https://youtu.be/ylklaOXz8Fc with a few tweaks along the way.

Virtual Machine

1. Download Plex Media Server from https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/. In this tutorial, I will use a Linux VM and so downloaded the Linux version of Plex.
2. Create a resource group. Mine is called 'Plex'.
3. Inside 'Plex' RG, create a storage account. Mine is called 'alexplex'.
4. Once created, inside your storage account e.g. 'alexplex', click File shares (under File Service) and add a File share. Mine is called 'plex' and I se

Raspberry Pi Audio Visualiser

To play music at home, I use a Raspberry Pi and Shairport-sync to receive an Airplay stream and output via a pair of USB speakers.

I wanted to sample the audio stream, display an audio visualiser on the Display-o-Tron LCD display. Additionally I wanted to display the track info, which can be read from the metadata.

Using a bit of python magic, we can tie it all together...! Watch it all in action:

  set window-status-current-style "fg=$color_dark,bold,bg=$color_window_off_status_current_bg" \;\
  if -F '#{pane_in_mode}' 'send-keys -X cancel' \;\
  refresh-client -S \;\

How to export and rehost your Tumblr site

(Update: Version 3.2.0 of Jekyll looks like it's breaking a few things, so I've changed the guide to make you specifically install the version I was using, 3.1.3. I believe this is the issue: jekyll/jekyll#5145.)

You will be using jekyll-import to export your Tumblr site, Jekyll to (re)create it, and Surge to rehost it.

Update: You can also use Tumblr's native export feature in your blogs' individual settings. But rehosting that might be tricky. Read my comments below this post for how that works.
