Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #chafa, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Behold the revolutionary #Chafa, where 21st-century #tech meets the artistic flair of a 1980s dot matrix printer. 🎨✨ Get ready to squint in awe at "reasonable approximations" of images, because who needs high-res when you have ANSI X3.64? 🙄🤦‍♂️

  2. Got tired of #imv misbehaving on Wayland, and switched to chafa-in-a-footclient.

    #Chafa is limited to 256 colors; are there any other *fast* #sixel capable terminal image viewers capable of at least ~1000 colors?

  3. #TIL about #lsix (github.com/hackerb9/lsix) and calling #xterm with the option "-ti vt340" to be able to display inline images inside an xterm—thanks to lsix having just arrived in #DebianUnstable: packages.debian.org/sid/lsix

    These inline images (or the backend used to display them) seem to be called #sixel graphics. And they're said to work transparently through SSH. Maybe better than #chafa or #catimg.

    This program written in C will render the matrix effect in the terminal, while rendering an image, allowing animation of this image in one or two dimensions.

    Image rendering is accomplished with the help of chafa:

    #c #terminal #ascii-art #screensaver #chafa #linux

  6. @frigginglorious Glad to hear it! There are bindings for Python and Javascript (via wasm) too. If you have questions, come find us on Matrix or IRC (#chafa).

  7. How to display an image in a console...

    Learning about new old stuff... or old new stuff. I'm not sure which.

    #chafa

  8. TIL about #chafa

    Perhaps I've been living under a rock for a few years? But it seems like a very useful tool:

    github.com/hpjansson/chafa

    I definitely think #telescope (#gemini browser) will benefit from this in some way... just need to think how.

  9. Somehow the new #ytfzf release v. 2.0 is a pain to (re)configure, quite some stuff has changed...at least for me. Nevertheless I have a smoother experience and for whatever reason, also #chafa is finally working for rendering thumbnails 🥳
    #cli #fzf #youtube

  10. #neofetch with the #chafa backend.

    Chafa uses its #sixel backend.

    Background opacity is 75%.

  11. chafa-1.8 enables sixels on foot by default.

    If you prefer non-sixel output, try "chafa --symbols border+block+stipple+sextant+wedge" with foot >= 1.9!

    github.com/hpjansson/chafa/dis

    #chafa #foot #terminal #sixel

  12. Unicode 13 "wedges", used in e.g. #chafa (not yet released) is on it's way to #foot

    #terminal

  13. is a image displayer.

    Chafa supports many common image formats, including still formats like PNG as well as animated GIFs. Chafa can use a larger character set than other image printers, allowing for a much higher fidelity output. Chafa supports several different color modes, including true color. Chafa has a interface.
