One of the extremely useful snippets I discovered in Evan Hahn's Scripts I wrote that I use all the time is radio.
I cannot work in silence. I need to have something going in the background, preferably classics and not encumbered with too much chit-chat.
Instead of having a browser tab or app sitting there in the background, I adapted Evan's script. It uses mpv, so now I've got a Ghostty tab running in the background instead.
