Emulate baud rates without serials with tritty

1708569431 Name: Anonymous : 2024-02-22 02:37:11



Tritty / Trickle allows you to slow down any pseudo terminals and linux ttys without the use of RS232 serials. It offers finer "charactor print" than that of pv.


Limitation(s)

break hotkey/key doesn't work while the printing is in process this is due to the fact that Trickle uses pipe. If a user have sent ctrl+z while the content of a certain text file is being printed on the screen,says at 300 baud, it will not halt the process.




to install trickle on unix-like systems, you will need to clone from github and compile those orbs

install git

Debian-based distros



apt install git




NetBSD




pkgin install git





then clone to your soap box





git clone https://github.com/sjmulder/trickle.git




navigate to cloned dir





cd trickle






to compile type the following



make




then run the following as root



make install





-------
usage
-------

set print rate, of terminal, to 300 baud

tritty -b300

restarting terminal will revert the changes


---------------------------
run vim at 300 baud




vim | trickle -b300




keep in mind that colours must be manually turned off (in ~/.vimrc). Otherwise, the print head will not only print ~ also it prints the invisible black background



browse orbs on w3m at 12900 baud (12.9K)



w3m www.diy.com | trickle -b12900



Since Trickle doesn't alter stty settings telnet (servers) will report system (stty) speed. A workaround is to set tty spped to match trickle's settings (this is not really necessary, unless you would like to inform telnet users/sysorbs that you are on 300 baud)



stty speed 300




telnet will now reports terminal speed at 300 baud

orbs movements

1705052610 Name: Anonymous : 2024-01-12 09:43:30



I like how they disappear and then show up on different positions. It looks pretty much like they move when there are user interactions.. They didn't make a single blunder of course!

Most orb boxes these days are trying to gas lightning them. As a result they travel as fast as the speed of light. You won't see how these tiny little creatures work anymore since the advent of compact super orb machines, mostly 'i3 i5 i7' super computers, or some new kind of gimmicks the creators has put upon their orb packages... You'll likely to experience some delays when interacting with orbs instead of seeing them moving between places.
