I made a little extension to my Python-based LaTeX math renderer so it can be used to draw equations and Sympy expressions directly in the terminal as sixel graphics. Install with `pip install sixelmath` and give it a try! (in a sixel-supported terminal, of course).

Getting really close to having the first half of the boot screen on the PS1 working. A few minor glitches still remain on the "tm" text.

Al fin - Una solución terminal a la guerra de navegadores

Un browser desde la terminal con capacidad Sixel lleno de características para quienes prefieren evitar los asistentes de IA

Los usuarios de la web de los viejos tiempos recordarán Lynx, un navegador de solo texto que corría desde la terminal. Ahora hay un navegador web Sixel-compatbile que corre completo de la terminal, y tiene todas las características modernas y gráficas que esperarías.

In how small window #brow6el can render, try this with other #browser. #linux #terminal #sixel

#TIL about #brow6el (https://codeberg.org/janantos/brow6el) a #CLI web #browser that uses #sixel and runs in any sixel-compatible terminal.

Here are a couple of examples of brow6el in #WezTerm on #Ubuntu 24.04

Wow, I’ve just tried #brow6el - a #sixel based terminal (!) web browser - on one of classic Polish portals, packed with ads and mashup JS/HTML. And it… works!

Sixel is an old (DEC times) but very clever protocol for displaying 6-bit graphics right in terminal window, Brow6el is a Chromium-engine using Sixel graphics to render the pages. So essentially you’ve got a fully functional graphical (!) web browser in a text terminal. Because it’s still Chromium, this particular website uses ~500 MB of RAM.

Surprisingly, the build process on Ubuntu is also rather trivial and takes ~5 min (thanks to the use of prebuilt Chromium binary I suppose)

Found out that vte has removed #sixel from their master branch. 😕 I can understand their reasoning though. It looks like they ran into an implementation corner and the only way out would be to do a wezterm / jexer-style slice-and-dice due to how other features interact. Still, I’m hoping they learned what they wanted to, such that if they do adopt an image format it will be smooth sailing.
