hi! i have a fun issue right now and that is:

I can't listen to music on my laptop in decent ways anymore! :floofExplode:​

VLC works just fine, same with MilkyTracker, Firefox and Feishin. - but mpv, xmp, Lollypop and Strawberry refuse to play any music while pretending to play music basically (for some reason??).

the setup is the following:
laptop runs Arch, kernel 6.13.2-zen, newest-available ffmpeg and mpv packages, and the audio is going to Bluetooth headphones. restarting BlueZ (via systemctl restart bluetooth) did not work, and neither did restarting PipeWire (via systemctl restart pipewire --user) and restarting the whole system.

:boost_request:​

totally innocent file named signal-info-stealer.sh

#!/bin/sh

set -e

# dependencies:
# yay -S sqlcipher signal-desktop jq

key="$(jq -r .key ~/.config/Signal/config.json)"

# it will use "You" for messages sent from this device
# and "Clover" (your username) for stuff sent from other devices

sql="
PRAGMA key = \"x'$key'\";

SELECT concat(
  '[', coalesce(sender.profileName, 'You'), ' → ', conversations.name, conversations.profileName, '] ',
  messages.body
) FROM messages
JOIN conversations ON messages.conversationId = conversations.id
LEFT JOIN conversations sender ON messages.sourceServiceId = sender.serviceId
WHERE (messages.type = 'incoming' OR messages.type = 'outgoing') AND messages.body != ''
ORDER BY messages.timestamp;

echo "$sql" | sqlcipher -readonly ~/.config/Signal/sql/db.sqlite | tail -n +2
