I really liked this one:
It looks so good, and I like the layout a lot
I wonder if similar can be done for bluefin
maybe a simplified logo for it
Something like this, but with color maybe?
I totally used a generator for that by the way
If you use jp2a, it will add color with the
--color flag.Oversized for over-emphasis
The user @nickname Just used this server emoji to react to a post I made, and I think it beats everything I've seen:
:bluefin:
honestly, yeah. That's so much simpler
Check that out
I dig it. If we can refine the edges a bit, it'll look really sharp
Like that?
Hm. What's the highest rez image we have of that emoji?
I tried to recreate it but instead created a reverse mask, which admittedly looks pretty cool on its own
Translates very poorly to ascii and chafa
This is about as good as I think we're going to get
jp2a bluefin-silhouette.png --color --width=50 -i --color-depth=24 > logo
and then I add a new line to the top of that file
I'm gonna use the pen tool to manually cut it out and see if I can't get a good vector image to manipulate.

and then I add a new line to the top of that file
original file:
I wonder if I can make the color match
Oh def.
It's a HUGE improvement already
Cut out the image by hand so we have a vector
With fill and border
Check it:
The trick is this.
"keys": "\u001b[38;2;107;121;232"
Looks pretty good.
Let me try with your version
I want to love it, but I feel like we're losing so much of the detail from the feathers
border didn't work well.
I mean we're limited to text...
For sure
The border is an issue with the way the PNG is saving
I think I reached the limit of my expertise for tonight. It's definitely progress, though. Thanks Dylan!
@j0rge What do you think of https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/pull/1196 ? I think this is a major improvement 🙂

yeah we kind of already ruled out the circle logo in favor of the dinos because each image has a dino specifically for it
this is more what we're looking for aesthetically I think
The problem with the dinos is getting any reasonable level of detail in the terminal is nearly impossible
you get maybe 50 pixels of width to work with so things get crunched together
I use a Street Fighter theme for my devices and a 40k primarch theme for my VMs. Using chafa, I've found that the closer that the original image is to a square, the better it translates, since it uses most of the space.
maybe we can do a profile shot of a dino
like a square crop into the head
so it's recongnizable
YEAH
BBS STYLE
That could work because I have more dinos coming
honestly, I love the dinos but the current logo and color in fastfetch isn't doing it for me lol
so we could just pick a style and do a ton of them and then we just set one during build time so it'll be like on a rotation
That's a fun idea.
well if you look at mine, I matched the color for the output to the dino color
would look odd if they don't match
bluefin1,2,3, etc. Each a bust with a different expression
tbh, I think this looks great.
We can always merge and improve later 😉
but let's wait until m2 is around to get consensus since he did the initial work and we're not going to rip it out without investigating options. And he's in bed and so am I, gnight all!
That's fair, and like 90% of his work is still in use
Night! Thanks so much for this project, Jorge. I've been evangelizing it nonstop. It's solved so much for my household alone.
yeah the issue with that circle logo
which is the favicon
is that it looks like a distro logo
everyone has these
They probably all do logos like that because realistically it looks great
it's like the same boring pattern, show me something awesome, 40k, dinosaur, a beagle, literally anything other than a logo
anyway that's where I stand on the neofetch thing, especially since we're going to have a zoo's worth of raptors over time.
Portraits are really fun in this format.
And they show up well over ssh
oh hell yes
full ANSI BBS days, love to see it
ssh -t user@perturabo "fastfetch; fish""Make it look like Razor 1911, but with dinosaurs and linux" seems like a nice strategy to me
The first half of that sentence is a time machine.

legit my childhood
that's super cool
I still think the favicon works really well for a fetch script. We can agree to disagree there...
Trying something... using a portrait as a "logo"
now, here's the issue with that -- it becomes completely unrecognizable
just looks like a blob.
With ascii, for sure
If chafa is reasonably allowed, it looks pretty sweet
Ah, yeah, that's pretty cool.
what did you do to generate that?
can you share the command?
Is it literally just chafa dino.png?
Huh... how about that.
Matching color.
You know what? I love it...

Build software better, together
GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.
M2 deserves most of the credit, I just played with GIMP and chafa and tweaked the color slightly to reduce eye bleed 🙂
And La Forge came up with the awesome idea of using chafa in the first place
couldn't have done it without you guys
but man is that great
FYI you can also integrate full-res images into the fetch prompt at least with some fetch configs, using sixels or other terminal image protocols
Yes, but hand-tuning them looks better and I can't figure out why fastfetch doesn't handle transparency right when just passing in the image
that looks baller!
where'd the neofetch symlink go though?
Which one are you referencing?
the
neofetch command is gone, it was symlinked to fastfetch beforeI found it in
neofetch symlink to fastfetch is bad UX. users shouldn't run one fetchscript and get another entirely
no one knows what fastfetch is
it's a convenience symlink, we're doing that in lots of places
neofetch is unmaintained, no one is going to say "but I wanted real neofetch"
our ls isn't going to be ls
our cd isn't going to be cd
and eventually we're swapping out all the coreutils
swapping ls and cd will probably break lots of shell scripts and muscle memory
I suppose eza might be okay, but I worry it could cause unintended side effects
Anyways, damn this looks good now.
I think it has a small bug though -- it only shows the one dino even if I run it a bunch of times
not a big deal
you know what? Actually, using eza for ls is awesome. Maybe I'll make a PR for that
I like the colors
we're not doing that on the image we're doing it via brew and eventually a sysext
