AnsiView

The original aim was to write a simple image viewer to show exact pixel values, both as text and as an image without colour conversions, antialiasing, or other artefacts. Efficiency and render quality came second.

'xterm' supports ANSI with 24-bit Truecolour, Unicode, and mouse actions. AnsiTerm can run on terminals without these. See AnsiView.txt for more details. A pure text application should compile simply on most machines. It can show large images over SSH without having to transmit the whole image.

AnsiView has native support for the FL32 image format. This is a very simple floating-point image format. See fl32.txt for more details. ImageMagick supports the FL32 format. AnsiView can call
ImageMagick to read and write other formats.

Buids under MacOS with ImageMagic support. Builds under Linux but ImageMagic support may need customisation. Not built on Windows yet.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
