Thought this was a joke but turns out it is a serious joke of a library for rendering ASCII art.

    There are little easter eggs everywhere.

    I found one when using -v for verbose debug and manpages said use -vv or -vvv for more detailed output. So I figured what happens if i do -vvvv. The CLI response was “my, you are a curious fellow”.

    Lol.

    It could have been the samba tools, I forget which thing I was needing to view detailed info about.

    A page on subtitles asks the real questions. What is ASS? And what makes ASS different? Inquiring minds need to know!

    I once tried to stream a video through ssh and ended up with it being rendered through libcaca 💩

    In the beginning we had aalib for rendering ASCII-art, which allowed saving GIMP images as ASCII art and playing movies in a text console with MPlayer. Then libcaca added colour support. And caca means poo in Latin languages like Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian or French, so…

      I speak Spanish, which made me open it expecting some kind of joke.
