 This video is really just a spur of the moment deciding to do this video right now to point out how Luke Smith is a noob saying that completely jokingly he does great videos but I just watched this latest video his latest video he showed how you can get animated gifs or gifs whatever you want to call them from a radar website a weather website so you can see the animation of local radar and for example I've already downloaded one and then he used MPV to open up that file for example like this and you know that's cool and all but you're using a GUI interface why would you do that when you can do everything right in the terminal so let's go ahead and do that right right in our shell okay so I have a few files in here I have the animated gif that we just looked at and then we have a picture of me and an animation of me so we're going to do it in the shell like as if we don't have a GUI interface which means we're going to do stuff as ASCII art now one of the most common ASCII art programs I've seen for viewing images I'm assuming is pronounced kaka view it's in your repositories and you give it an image like this one of me a JPEG and it opens it up but it still opens it up in a separate window but I think it would normally you can get it to go internal but it looks horrible you can barely tell that's me right so I can quit out of that it does gifs but it doesn't animate them again you can see that's me but it's it's it's just hard to see it's it's not very pretty well there's another program called Chaffa I would assume how you say it it's it should be in repositories this is my repositories for my Debian distro and I can give it an example that JPEG of me and look right here in the shell without me someone who and looks pretty good but the thing is the higher more characters you have in your shell the better it looks so if I shrink my font down really low and run that again wow this is being done right in my shell I can do this now if I did this without xorg I'm not going to be able to get that high of a resolution but still it's going to look pretty good and I don't need any gooey interface I can I can log into a headless server and run this and again looking like this in my shell and you know what if you give it let me zoom in here so you can see what I'm typing the same thing I'll give it the animated gif or gif of me and again I'll make the resolution a little bit higher here it's gonna run a little slow for if I do it that high but it's looking pretty good right so let me go ahead and you can see it's starting to animate it let's pump up the resolution like it's lower the resolution a little bit there we go there we go so right in my shell no gooey interface I can get this little animation of me going and again if I shrink down the resolution here and run it again let's see if it runs any smoother once it loads give it a second to load oh you know I actually increased the resolution again I'm not very prepared for this video so I'm gonna increase my font size here run that again there you go now the animation is good and it's still a lot better than that caca viewer and let's go ahead and just for fun run our little radar here right there again if I make it a little bit higher resolution there we go and if I do it even more run it again you can actually start to read the words on the screen look at that that almost looks as good as running the gif right in MPV but it's running in my shell without gooey interface proving that Luke Smith is a noob for using a gooey interface to display something simple like that thanks for watching films at chris.com that's Chris the K have a great day
