Found a new ascii coverter (better than jp2a)

https://github.com/TheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter

Now trying to convert lambda's captcha to ASCII so I can solve it via serial terminals



Well, doesn't work very well , might need to find a captcha solver...

The image was downloaded off tor-browser, I have tried many cli-only tools out here (w3m, curl). None of them can save lambda captcha to .jpeg

The big bonfire has been readjusted...

Frankly it looks almost as good as the old cathode ray, died a month ago. This orb panel has got bright, lively colour. The black background is almost as solid as that of the old cathode ray. the 'bonfire' effect / artifacts, emitted by the green orbs, is barely seen...




Photo reshot'd..
Well, still, the colour(s) ain't as bright as seen with naked eyes. What an
inferiour chopping board.. I could get the black background right...


EDIT: it gives me eyes strain almost as quick as the cathode ray. The great thing about orbpanels is if your eyes couldn't tolerate it, you can tone the intensity of the bonfire down...

converting text to image files, circumving lambda censorship

There has been a word-filter request going on in /meta/ at the moment: "block incoming post with regex s+a+u+c+e+p+a+n". If that happens, we won't be able to post in near future. It is going to be like Nanochanray where posting a thread contains certain words (that are prohibited) e.g. "hikari", "lambda" returns "no data error".

But there is a workaround.

using ImageMagick

generate an image with the word "globby" by typing the following command:

convert -gravity center -background black -fill white -size 300x300 -font fixed caption:"globby" test.png


then convert to ascii (if you are on a serial terminal) to see the results




jp2a test.jpg





I'm using ascii-image-converter so the command would be...




ascii-image-converter test.jpg







Here's the results

A North Wales paper thus begins one of its paragraphs:-"The inhabitants of Llanbedrgoch and the contiguous parish of Llanfairmathafarneithaf." A very pleasant sound those last 23 letters must have!
