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 –

Christ is Risen Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Paschal Greeting in Different Languages
Hi Stan,
I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.
Best Regards

Install and configure rkhunter for improved security on a PCI DSS Linux / BSD servers with no access to Internet
–rwo, –report-warnings-only
This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
be used to force other items of information to be displayed.
–sk, –skip-keypress
When the –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
