    "In 2027, in a chaotic world in which women have somehow become infertile, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea." - Description from IMDb

    The topic is very old but I think my entry is useful, its not a perfect answer because I cheated a bit because of shift operator but the main idea I want to show is that we can just use lookup tables to solve this problem, I tried the best to make it appears as a truth table in the source.

    Also I just tested the input of the OP, here is the code: https://paste.debian.net/1287398/

    Im not sure about how SDL2 can handle this, but even SDL version 1 have those options to use video driver which outputs to terminal I just quick checked at their documentation after the guy told me about the existence of this. I think it can be better by auto detecting the needed font size and rows and cols needed to display the images/video properly (In my case I just get the things visible by trial and errors).

    Here is the link I just checked: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/FAQUsingSDL#how_do_i_choose_a_specific_video_driver

    Thanks for checking the post, I had a lot of fun trying to make this thing work. Some guy in IRC told me about the SDL video drivers which can work on terminal, I hope to test this in the future, maybe we can even run SNES os PS1 too without much problems or hacks.

    This is a simple blog post I wrote today explaning a few steps that I did to play GBA on terminal, I was not aware that SDL have options to display direct to console framebuffer when I was doing this, but I learned some good things by doing this, hopefully someone will enjoy this trick.

    I started to watch this one today, unfortunately I dont managed to ignore the fact the one of the killer are trying to hang with girl during the time they was supposed to just wait and receive instructions, this thing killed the movie for me, maybe I will try to watch again another day.

    Here I will quote the critical part of the post: "The most critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-36460, allows hackers to exploit a flaw in the media attachments feature, creating and overwriting files in any location the software could access on an instance."

    Another cool thing about this, is that those vulns are found in a pentest funded by Mozilla.

    I chose to share this one on ~tech because ~comp seens to be less general. But in fact I believe those kind of topic deserve a new group ~security, its just an idea. What you all think about a specific group to talk about security related things like vulns, patchs, hacks maybe even opsec.
