great feedback; i shall check out Beej and see what's up. it was many years ago that i learned my basic UNIX work. networking algorithmics is a classic, and there's nothing else quite like it. i stand by that one for sure. he also

thanks; this warmed my little hacker heart!

you might want to use different algorithms for automatic control than those exposed through the motherboard firmware, which are pretty much limited to either constant, manual setpoints (usually with extrapolation), and a linear temp-to-rpm

huh, i didn't know they could be connected like that! i only knew of the -12V as a source for RS-232. thank you for the tip; i'll investigate this (i assume you're correct, just want to understand it for myself) and update th

yeah, if you look at the equations at the bottom, power goes up with the third power in relation to rpm. whippin' and drivin' that much air takes some oomph. connect that fan to any normal motherboard, and you're going to b

that makes me so happy to hear. you have no idea how much of a pain in the ass that video was to make, lol--i'm really glad to hear it's been effective in carrying forth The Message. i'm working on a new one now which is goin

WITH THAT SAID, Notcurses can now acquire the default background from the terminal (this was not true when I wrote the book, sigh), and I fully support @akkartik's approach given this fact. Using NCALPHA_HIGHCONTRAST together with expl

thank you; i take pride in my documentation =]. and it's a lot of work; one ought have fun in the places you can.

The key is ending the device query string with DA1 aka "Primary Device Attributes", which literally every terminal i've managed to test with responds to. Guaranteed that one answer, you completely avoid nasty timeouts. This i

why merely write programs with NCURSES when you can hack the planet with notcurses? enjoy the free book: https://nick-black.com/htp-notcurses.pdf

1) you can run from a regular console. if it's a linux framebuffer console and you're local, it'll even use the framebuffer to draw graphics. if you're on a pure VGA console, or ssh'd from the framebuffer console, t

for the case of 6, there are "sextants", which Notcurses uses for its "sexblitter". 3x2 pixels are mapped to a cell.

no, Notcurses supports both Sixel and the Kitty protocol (indeed, i proposed https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/3809 , which drastically cut down on the bandwidth necessary for certain operations), in
