I've been trying to google/amazon this and having basically no results, so I'm asking here in case anyone knows:

I need graph paper. Specifically I need LARGE graph paper. Like, not an A4 sheet, I need A1-A0 (24/33" or 33x46").
4x4 per inch, or 5x5 per inch grid spaces. I basically need a graph paper with a TON of squares, and I'm not finding it.

I'm hoping I can get it somewhere pre-made but my fallback option is to get a "poster" made that's a custom image I've made that's just a grid. The only issue there would be finding the right texture paper, I don't want something glossy that I can't color in

a1 (22"x17") at 1/4" grid is SLIGHTLY too small for what I need.
so I'd need a0 (which I can't find) or a1 1/5" (which I also can't find)

I specifically need graph paper with 96x48 squares.
17x11" at 1/5" is 85x55, so it's close.
22x17" at 1/4" is 88x68, so it's closer.

I wonder how illegal it would be if you opened up a VHS rental store today, and had unofficial VHS copies of modern films, dubbed from either Netflix or uhd 4k blurays

foone,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

I'd be paying for a bluray per VHS tap, so I didn't make any extra "copies".
And you can't DMCA me: it's not digital.

I think this is what my next keyboard is gonna look like.

New possibility. I really should have a shift key on this but I think I can make login/fill context sensitive.

@foone@digipres.club avatar

HOPEFULLY FINAL EDITION: I've got login/fill split, and I added an ENHANCE button. originally it was going to say "INV. COLOR" but my algorithm is slightly more complicated, thus... "enhance"

I could go down the long rabbithole of figuring out how to call g*mp's image manipulation tools from a commandline or API, or getting imagemagick installed on this PC and figuring out how to port it over there...

or I could be silly and take advantage of the fact that I'm applying gamma ramps to an 8-bit greyscale image. What's the difference between the "before" and "after" images? a different palette.

foone,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

why do calculations when instead you could just do...
im.putpalette(gamma_ramps_applied_greyscale_palette)?

two of the best feelings when programming are:

  1. figuring out a really clever way to solve a problem
  2. figuring out a really stupid way to solve a problem

Based on this idea:
https://aus.social/@Unixbigot/112572811010797144

How about an email client that uses Glide, the 3DFX 3d rendering library?
Specifically targeting the voodoo 2. (I know it's PCI, but there are PCI->PCIe adapters).

The OS can't screenshot it because the OS has no idea what pixels are there!

@foone@digipres.club avatar

minor downsides:

  1. can't use standard GUI elements. gotta redesign it from the ground up based on 3D primitives.
    2.gotta be fullscreen and 16bit color
  2. output quality is only VGA, and I think it maxes out at 800x600
foone,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

on the plus side, it's physically impossible for any AI bullshit to screenshot it, unless you accidentally attach a VGA capture device or point a camera at the monitor

or if windows 11 knows how to call grLfbLock(). but I don't think it does
