zirias, to FreeBSD

Hello bsd.cafe 🤩!

I finally did it and moved to a more appropriate "home realm" for a enthusiast. Thanks @stefano for offering this!

Moving followers worked flawlessly, restoring all my settings was pretty quick, but of course all my old toots are left on https://techhub.social/@zirias 🙈

So I guess I'll introduce myself here by writing a little thread, adding a few of my works that someone might find interesting. But first a bit of "who am I":

I'm a "professional" software architect/developer (mostly platform in the day job), FreeBSD hobby-admin and ports committer, fan (and occassionally coder and even musician), and apart from computers also interested in music (playing a few instruments myself), traveling, cooking, sometimes sports, sometimes politics ... but probably won't toot about any non-technical stuff (or, very very rarely).

Also quite recent: . This is a very versatile converter for (and other "text") files to a format using and only standard escape sequences, so, suitable for today's terminals like . It includes an ansiart viewer which is "just" a shellscript, leveraging dos2ansi, xterm, less and some nice original fonts to do its job. So, maybe something for the fans.

Docs (manpages) are here:

As there was some interest, a port is available: https://www.freshports.org/converters/dos2ansi

Remember these specific misrenderings using the wrong ? Made actually a good testcase after adding codepage selection to my new "dos2ansi" tool 😜

Found a pretty nice font to go with : .

It seems to contain a pretty complete set of glyphs (arabic and cyrillic work fine), and approximates the original looks very well! 👍

Few features, but a lot of refactoring and internal improvements ... and users now get a program using "native" APIs ...:

here's v0.9! 😎

Screenshot shows displaying some random metadata, and the new (finally, lol) flag to display version info (also note the license matching my favorite OS, )
