Testing dithering and color reduction - 2021-06-18 17:36:52

Hello! I’m trying to convert images so that they are lighter. I got the idea from Low-Tech Magazine and got some help and information from a good guy. Using ImageMagick: convert input.jpg -set colorspace Gray -ordered-dither o8x8 -colors 2 output.gif From this image: We get this one: From 72KB to 16KB. Looks a lot like the gameboy camera actually. There are other dithering algorithms, but for this photo the ordered-dither gave the best picture.

Multiline support in weechat - 2019-09-03 16:00:52

By default weechat doesn’t support multiline messages, but you can have that using the multiline.pl. In order to install it just run weechat and write /script. There you’ll see a lot of nice scripts to customize weechat. Write multiline and press return to filter the plugins by that keyword. Then just select it if it’s not selected already and then write i then return. Then you’ll have multiline enabled :).

So what I did was to install the package from Debian Stretch that can be downloaded from here. You can install it as follows:

CLI Recommendations - 2018-05-11 20:51:09

Lately I have been using a lot CLI (Command Line Interface) applications for everything, mainly because they enhance the just keyboard user expirence along with a great functionallity with a low resource footprint. Yes, it may be harder to use them and harder to configure, but I think the outcome is satisfiying. I will introduce a bit the applications and where to start without much detail, because there’s a lot of documentation already available :).
