JJROKCZ, to historyporn in Experimental WW2 Japanese fighter plane, the Kyushu J7W Shinden

A little know fact is that the one that was “scrapped” was actually lost fighting giant sea creatures!

It’s just crazy that the plane in the movie was not just a drawing board design taken from history, but the real thing had actually flown and actually impressed the Japanese military with its capability. Usually weird WW2 designs in movies either never existed outside of blueprints, or didn’t work in real life.

Shouldn’t the flag be revealed in the last pane for it to work?

Khrux,

I think the punchline is showing how obviously connected the two things are, not what the final one is.

…and thus became fodder for Imperial Japan what-if wankery everywhere.

The nose and cockpit section of the fuselage is on display in the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia. “Other parts” are preserved in storage, although it is unclear if they mean the remaining fuselage, engine, and wings, or if those were destroyed following examination.

Sure, no other nation had a fighter plane folded over 1000 times.

Have you looked at Textual? It probably has more functionality than blessed.

+1 for Textual. It’s great stuff!

I did, but i was going for something really small and simple, more like an ebook reader than a webui.

krash,

Textual is great, and the community at discord is very helpful and welcoming.

Wish someone would come with something like tut for mastodon.

While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I’m really happy that I’m not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client

Thank you, that’s so kind! I’ll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I’ll probably give the images a go.

To be honest, I’m hoping this project doesn’t get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.

You might look into displaying images in the terminal as well; many modern terminals support showing actual images natively

Something like rtv would be great!

I love this. Anything that keeps me in the terminal and out of the browser is a blessing from Tux himself.

How did you upload a video?

Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)

There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy. It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.

Fine I thought u were somewhere.🥲

I’m too working on a TUI to browse the-eye.eu, I’m still struggling with asynchronous render & Rust.

crunchpaste,
@crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Async programming is really quite hard to wrap your head around. Currently I’m mostly struggling with excessive memory consumption.

noctisatrae, (edited )

Send help I’m struggling with lifetimes, unbounded channel & implementing EventHandler… <3

MonkderZweite, to linux in I've started building a TUI for Lemmy

One reason more to stop with the silly text-in-image posts. There’s a text-only post option, you know guys? Lemmy is not Instagram.

MonkderZweite, (edited ) to linux in I've started building a TUI for Lemmy

There’s TIV/FIM/imgfb if you’re looking for ways to render images in terminal. Or convert them to sixel.

djtech, to linux in I've started building a TUI for Lemmy

For rendering high quality images in the terminal, check out the Kitty graphical protocol. I don’t know if they are any python libraries to use, but I think that they are. P.S. This seems to work well stackoverflow.com/…/how-to-display-graphical-imag…

callyral,
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

does this protocol work for other terminals? such as alacritty, foot, urxvt, or even st (with appropriate patch ofc)?

djtech,

A quick research tells me that there aren’t patches for other emulators, but the protocol seems well described, so making those patches is possible. I could also take a look at Alacritty source code and deicide if I could make this project work.

crunchpaste,
@crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I went with chafa as it’s terminal agnostic and supports various modes.

Then again, I’m not really sure a tui frontend needs high quality image rendering. Earlier I even considered going completely 1bit braille or just ASCII just so that the image doesn’t take all of the focus at the expense of the post body.

As mentioned by another commenter, I believe opening the full image in an external viewer is a much better solution, not to mention easier to implement.

You could also look into using sixel. It’s kinda like the kitty protocol but older and terminal agnostic.

Thanks, I’ve only heard of sixel, but never really read into it. Sounds promising.

kariboka,

A suggestion is do it like neofetch and let the user choose. Amazing work.
