Comment on Viewing JPEG,GIF and PNG in ASCII with cacaview on GNU / Linux – Review on caca-utils text mode graphics utilities by hip0.
Another tool I’ve found capable of converting images to text is jp2a
http://csl.sublevel3.org/jp2a/.
It has version for major Unix like OSes Mac OS X, Debian, Gentoo, FreeBSD. Here is how to install jp2a on this OSes.
Mac OS X
port install jp2a
FreeBSD
You can use the Freshports:
pkg_add -r jp2a
Debian
You can use the Debian package:
apt-get install jp2a
Gentoo
You can use the Gentoo package:
emerge jp2a
Interesting functionality of jp2a is converting images to ascii right from the web. Here is a paste from the project site:
Reading images off the net
jp2a now handles downloading by using libcurl. Just do this:
jp2a http://foo.bar/image.jpg
One advantage of img2txt use instead is it supports JPEG and GIF out of the box, where if jp2a is used. a Convertion with imagemagick convert is first necessery, like so:
# convert somefile.png jpg:- | jp2a –width=76 –
#convert bender.bmp -modulate 170 -rotate 45 jpg:- | jp2a –

How to install and use WSL 2 Windows native Linux emulation Debian and Ubuntu Linux on Windows 10 / Windows 11
A nice tip in wsl.conf is you can enable Bridged Network connection if necessery simple:
1. install a new virtual switch using Hyper-V say wsl-switch
to %userprofile%.wslconfig add the following (if the file doesn’t exist create it)
[wsl2]
networkingMode=bridged
vmSwitch=wsl-switch
Now when you restart WSL you will have a bridge session. This has also be known to cure some of the weird network issues seen with WSL where network connectivity stops working, no DNS connectivity – without the need for messing with scripts and config files. YMMV
The Church Rejoices + Daniil Metropolitan of Vidin chosen and Enthroned as Head of Bulgarian Orthodox Church. Dostoin / Axios !
Interesting fact I forgot to mention in the article, Currently, both Bulgarian and Romanian Orthodox Church had a patriarch called DANIIL.:)
Again, for many and Blessed years to our new Patriarch DANIIL ! SAVE OH MOST MERCIFUL GOD OUR SERVENT AND BLESS HIM TO RIGHTOUSLY RULE OVER THE FLOCK OF THE BULGARIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH !
What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!
Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.
