Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Who need GUI to watch youtube? You can watch them directly in terminal with mpv. Try it:

    mpv --vo=tct "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

    If you're in a kernel VT (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7] without starting a graphical environment) MPV can also work in framebuffer mode (the default if you don't specify a video output). It'll show the video fullscreen at full resolution, bypassing the terminal characters.

    Who said terminal graphics had to look bad?

    I'm sure it has some uses in digital signage and whatnot, but holy cow it sounds like a dev just saying "hold my beer" one evening...

    84% of FOSS software is the result of either a dare, laziness, or spite.

    you can also use libsixel for that. Contour is a pretty good term that supports that.

    What does tct do?

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

    It uses the terminal as a display output instead of a separate window

    I wondered what this could possibly look like and found some examples here: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/view-media-no-graphical-env.

    I was expecting ASCII art. It's low resolution video though. Seems like a small use case, but pretty nifty.

    This is stupid and I love it
