Justine SmithiesSo still on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it <code>sixel</code> in <code>xterm</code> or the kitty protocol in <code>kitty</code>, I've decided to stick with good old <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xterm</a> . Also on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used <code>alacritty</code> or <code>kitty</code> to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> chic on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HerbstluftWM</a> and <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Openbox</a> are in my sights although I'm still using the default <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=fvwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fvwm</a> right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into <code>nsxiv</code> for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of <code>imv</code> is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a>

Justine SmithiesGave up on <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> for now as it's too locked down for my liking and I was really wanting to setup <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xorg</a> on the freebie Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower and use <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xterm</a> as my terminal with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=sixel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sixel</a> support. So I've installed <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> and got Xterm running with Sixel support ( graphics in the terminal ). Who's a happy chic that's feeling all nostalgic right now ? That's right moi ! <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a>

Olivier DuclosTip of the day: when selecting text in your terminal, do a double-click and keep button 1 pressed to select words instead of characters. This allows you to select text faster without missing anything at the start or at the end, which often happens to me.This feature has been here for decades, but I only learned about it now 😬 Tested on <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xterm</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> -terminal (probably works with all vte terminals).<a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/cli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unix</a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a>

Felix Palmen 📯And now there's even <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dos2ansi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dos2ansi</a> v1.6.2: <a href="https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v1.6.2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v1.6.2</a>The good thing is: The issues I'm fixing here are getting more and more obscure 😂First I noticed <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xterm</a> doesn't accept all <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/utf8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#utf8</a> for its '-title' option, no matter what. But it *does* support the escape sequence to set a title, so, why not use this instead.Having added support for that (and also optionally for setting the window size using an escape sequence), I had a look at quoting again. Indeed, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/showansi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#showansi</a> failed for e.g. file names containing <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shell</a> special characters.Therefore added a *safe* quote function. The downside is, it requires <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/sed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sed</a> now. Well ....Screenshot shows both improvements, I picked a "maximum weird" file name and used a file that has an 'ö' in its title 🥳 -- in the showansi debugging output, you can see the quoting in action 🤯 <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MSDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MSDOS</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ANSIart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ANSIart</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/retrocomupting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomupting</a>

Felix Palmen 📯Playing around some more with some *very* old <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ANSIart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ANSIart</a> files ... blinking was obviously used more back then, and it's really nice <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xterm</a> can actually do that! 😎(need to pass an extra -k flag to <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dos2ansi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dos2ansi</a> here because there's no <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SAUCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SAUCE</a> in this old file and the default is assuming bright colors instead)

Felix Palmen 📯BTW, the color difference you see in these Windows screenshots is the classic "dark yellow vs brown" issue.Quick background, with digital <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RGBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RGBI</a> signals (like used with <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CGA</a>), you couldn't have brown, but high-quality monitors (including IBM's own, but also a Commodore 1084 I have here) had extra circuitry adjusting dark yellow to brown by reducing the green component. With <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CGA</a> on a cheap monitor or a TV set, you still had "dark yellow".<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VGA</a> finally moved to analog <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RGB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RGB</a> and used brown. Still many terminals today (including <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Console" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Console</a>) have dark yellow in their default palettes.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dos2ansi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dos2ansi</a> must rely on the default palette when the terminal supports only 8 or 16 colors, but with a 256-color terminal, it uses "original" CGA/VGA colors. And of course, there's a switch to disable the "brown adjustment" 😎Screenshot from <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xterm</a> on#FreeBSD showing both modes, actually this example looks like it might have been designed with "dark yellow" in mind.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ansiart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansiart</a>
