more braille art (not mine)

[Eli the Bearded]

It has come to my attention that Redis, a tool for storing essentially
a scratch pad between Internet services, has an Easter-egg-ish "LOLWUT"
command that prints some art to the screen.

"Redis™ 5.0 Release Highlights"
https://www.redisgreen.com/redis5/

That shows the output for LOLWUT as:

Georg Nees - schotter, plotter on paper, 1968. Redis ver. 5.0.0

which I found helpful, because redis-cli showed me (line wraped and
elided as noted):

"\xe2\xa0\x80\xe2\xa1\xa4\xe2\xa0[ 38860 bytes deleted ]\xe2\xa0\x80\n\n
Georg Nees - schotter, plotter on paper, 1968. Redis ver. 5.0.4\n"

Nees did a number of plotter art works. This one, in the original
rather than the UTF-8 pixelized version, can be found eg here:

https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O221321/schotter-print-nees-georg/

So you can see the Redis version is cropped.

The first commit for the braille output is from 2018-09-11. I am
beginning to wonder when people started using Unicode's braille dots as
low-res pixels now. I've seen multiple tools from multiple sources now.

Georg Nees died in 2016, so never saw his art in Redis

Hi Elijah

Would this translate into your braille font ? ... just curious

It could, but I'm not going to try. I don't have a good program for
drawing in braille, just for converting black and white images to it.

I've seen software to rotate ASCII art 90 or 180 degrees, I'd have to
hunt pretty hard to find it again I think. But I can imagine a program
to transcode ASCII art to braille as well. I don't think it would work
as neatly as a hand done translation though.

pretty sure the ASCII art rotation was in a IOCCC winner

I don't know about any program, but the library libcaca can do it, there
are functions like caca_rotate_180(). It chooses replacement characters
that look (kinda) similar to a mirrored/rotated version of the original.

It works pretty well for things like boxes and flowcharts, but mixed
results for everything else :)

As expected.

That's hilarious.

Wow, that's a blast from the past, someone encouraging people to finger
them. Panix supports finger, in the old-school type that tells login
shell, tty, and mail read time in addtions to .plan and .project.

finger eli...@panix.com

I use a non-standard mailbox so mail read time is wildly wrong.

Hi ... (another rabbit hole)

just for reference/interest/curiosity ...
