#tmux now has #sixel support!

Great news! Thanks to a lot of hard work from topcat001 (Anindya Mukherjee), the -portable version of tmux now has SIXEL support.

Why this is this cool? Well, it means images rendered directly into the terminal can now happen, via conversion to SIXEL where appropriate.

One such use-case is with #gnuplot.

As an example of both, see the screenshots I've attached here.

To enable this, you will need to pass a flag to configure:

./configure --enable-sixel

Please do give this a go. This isn't released yet, so if you want to try this, you must do so via git.

Note that you will need a compatible terminal to make use of this -- in my case, that's #xterm and as such, all I needed to do was add the following to my ~/.Xdefaults file:

XTerm.*.decTerminalID: vt340
XTerm.*.numColorRegisters: 256

... and then run `xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults`

Enjoy!

If you enjoy #baldursgate3 you may like to hear that the previous game by #Larian is currently 65% off in the 15-year-anniversary sale at #GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/divinity_original_sin_2

That’s the #game in which they perfected the storywriting and all the mechanics except for the D&D rules and convinced WotC/Hasbro that they are a good match for the next Baldurs Gate.

Maybe running my own masto instance was not a good idea... The upgrade to 4.2.0 was painful, and it knocked my account off for like half a day until I said "fuck it" and basically reinstalled it from scratch.

I've been looking at the stage selection screens of the NES Megaman games. It looks like Megaman 3 uses a combo of bg tiles and static sprites to increase the number of colors available. They draw their helmets and the whites of their eyes with bg tiles and then use sprites for the faces or sometimes just additional shading

My mom had been joking about getting the gate, and didn't expect me to do anything. But apparently I was too... literal and naive or something...

Anyway, I think we both learned a valuable lesson that day. My mom not to joke about such things, and me to not act so swiftly or trustingly when people make requests (even those people you trust the most). 😆

And for some reason I just did it? Opened the door and dropped straight out the side of the vehicle and tumbled in the gravely ditch on the side of the road next to the truck (the ditch probably helped keep me clear of the truck).

I scared my mom to death, and it shook me up too. But I wasn't hurt accept for some scrapes on my back.

When I was 12 my mother was driving us back home in the truck we had at the time. There was a gate across the driveway to the property (we had a 1 acre property on the wrong side of the tracks). Our normal routine was to stop the vehicle and somebody not driving would get the gate. This time my mom asked me to get out and get the gate... while we were still driving up the road to our lot...

Feels good to update an article from early 2021 to say that the problem described back then is nowadays solved by a single CSS pseudo selector.

Selector in case: `:user-invalid`. It represents any validated form element whose value isn’t valid based on their validation constraints, **after the user has interacted with it.**

Supported by Firefox 88 and Safari 16.5 before, and now also by Chrome 119 (current Chrome Dev, to hit stable in October)

DESCENT (1989)

Acrylic on Canvas - 28" x48"

When I was asked to do a new cover for Ray Bradbury's classic THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, I reread it and found I was deeply moved by the sense of inevitable tragedy that permeates the first half of the book.

• A comet streaks across the Martian sky over a distant city and descending past a massive rectangular horned arch. Mountains run along the horizon like irregular plates jutting from its spine. The familiar red-orange of Martian regolith is broken by deep blue canals that wind through the landscape. In the immediate foreground, a trio of domed towers, each unique, dwarf tall slender pyramids clustered just beyond. Set above all that to the foreground right, a raised pool reflects the sky in a gray-blue gradient. A pair of bronze skinned humans sit next to it on an ivory overhang dotted with amber beads. The surface is elegantly patterned ending in a lace-like edging. One man holds an ornate mask over his face, casting a distinctly alien gaze at the viewer. In contrast, his companion cups his mask in his hand, exposing slightly elongated features in profile, as he gazes up at the contrail that crosses the sky. (remote)
