I don't have any newsletter, but for Mastodon:

         - Compile tut, it just requires Go, it will run on any modern OS. 
         
         - Login with tut
         
         - Set a 'tview' shell (sh) script as 
           
           #/bin/sh
           chafa  -f sixel --fit-width "$@" | less -r"
            reset 

         - Configure tut, set program=tview in the [media.image] section.

         - Then launch XTerm as 'xterm -ti 340'.  Edit ~/.Xresources so you have nice fonts:

            xterm*background: black
           xterm*foreground: white
           xterm*loginShell: true
           xterm*faceName: Monospace
           xterm*faceSize: 10
           xterm*geometry: 100x32
           xterm*metaSendsEscape: true
 
 
           xterm*decTerminalID: vt340
          xterm*numColorRegisters: 256
          xterm*sixelScrolling: 1
          xterm*sixelScrollsRight: 1

Done. Edit the facesize value to a bigger font if you have a big resolution. Run "xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" to get the changes.

Also, you can run chafa locally with images such as "chafa -f sixel --fit-with foo.img', no need to login into a VPS, of course, it just was a proof of concept that you could see images over SSH. This can be really useful for instance to read graph/plots with Gnuplot or similar tools.

If any, subscribe to T3X's news letter and get some books, as these small tools will pay a lot in near future. No AI crap, small enough to run on some sets, from Statistics to semi-advanced math (even Zenlisp being crap can do complex numbers, and you can adapt the code for instance for S9 so that interpreter Scheme understand complex numbers and a much faster speed).

Yeah, Python+SAGEMATH, CUDA with number crunching and the like. How much are the GPU's, CPU's and SSD's going nowadays in dollars?
