Native #zstd compression support in #asciinema CLI landed in `develop` branch!
All commands (rec, play, convert, cat, upload) support it.
Average `.cast.zst` file for a typical session takes about 8% of the uncompressed (plain `.cast` file) version 🎉
Note: The server doesn't support zstd compressed uploads yet, but will soon!

As of today asciinema.org blocks all traffic coming from all Azure CIDRs due to the abuse coming from there.
This is how it feels to install a bare non-configured @alpinelinux on a HDD: <https://asciinema.org/a/1249303>. The cast may be downloaded as a text file with steps you may repeat.
Recorded 12.06.2026 with @asciinema.
The main command is: `# (export ROOTFS=xfs DISKOPTS="-Lev -m sys"; setup-alpine)`.
If you want to fine-tune their great CLI setup wizard more precisely, explore the sources here: <https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/alpine-conf>.
Let me know if you want more asciicasts from me.

Dillo proposes #asciinema recordings as human proof for patches
Registra il tuo Terminale dal Cellulare: Guida Completa ad Asciinema su Termux
Vuoi condividere quello che fai nel terminale senza registrare video? Asciinema è la soluzione perfetta, e puoi usarlo direttamente dal tuo cellulare Android con Termux. Cos'è Asciinema? Asciinema è uno strumento open-source che registra tutto quello che accade nel tuo terminale in formato testuale, non video. Quando riproduci una registrazione, vedi il testo che appare in tempo reale, proprio come se stessi guardando qualcuno usare il terminale. Rispetto ai video tradizionali, […]I'm considering moving #asciinema off GitHub because it's become unreliable to the point of frustration (amongst other reasons).
Today's issue: can't push, getting either "Timeout, server github.com not responding" or "[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)"
