Jarkko SakkinenI wonder why vfat in kconfig does not select these options:<ul><li>CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437</li><li>CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1</li></ul>Noticed this while putting together <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/systemd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemd</a> image. You really cannot use FAT meaningfully without 437, so there should be IMHO either depends or select relation between these and FAT kconfig options.In my opinion selecting VFAT in 2024 from kconfig should lead to selecting all the options that are required for filenames at minimum because it has exactly two use cases:<ol><li>USB sticks</li><li>ESP</li></ol>In both cases proper interpretation of filenames is required.PS. I also wonder why systemd does not list them as its required CONFIG_*. They are not obvious kconfig options in the context of kernel QA ;-) I always begin with tinyconfig and add up from there when doing this. Using ESP is required by practical means with systemd-boot so all three options should exist in this file: <a href="https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/README" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/README</a>. I used it as a reference and failed.<a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/kernel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kernel</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/vfat" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vfat</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/codepage" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#codepage</a> #437

Oriel Jutty :hhHHHAAAH:I made a pair of web applications:<ol><li><a href="https://gate.uber.space/dkq/cgi-bin/xencode" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gate.uber.space/dkq/cgi-bin/xencode</a> takes a piece of text and shows how it would be represented in various encodings that it knows about.</li><li><a href="https://gate.uber.space/dkq/cgi-bin/xdecode" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gate.uber.space/dkq/cgi-bin/xdecode</a> does the opposite. It takes a sequence of bytes (in hex) and shows what text it represents in various encodings.</li></ol>By the way, if you find a way to exploit these (particularly HTML injection/XSS), please tell me!(Idea inspired by <a href="https://digipres.club/@foone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@foone</a>, who once asked for something like this.)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#encoding</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unicode</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/codepage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#codepage</a>

Felix Palmen 📯Just released dos2ansi v0.4, with lots of <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DOS</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/codepage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#codepage</a> s supported and a testmode to display them.The next nice feature would be to use the actual terminal capabilities if output goes there. Very simple on *nix-like systems (<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Linux</a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a>, ...), just link <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/curses" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#curses</a> and use the termcap functions.Thinking about <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Windows</a> again, either I keep relying on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/UTF8" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UTF8</a> support (since <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/win7" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#win7</a> IIRC? and still a bit buggy) and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ANSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ANSI</a> sequences support (since <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/win10" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#win10</a>) .... OR I attempt to use the native <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Console" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Console</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/API" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#API</a> there (using special functions to write in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/UTF16" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UTF16</a> and other special functions to set colors, which would require a major refactoring first 🙄)<a href="https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v0.4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v0.4</a>

Felix Palmen 📯New pre-release of dos2ansi: v0.2* Works on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Windows</a>, win32 binary (cross-compiled on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a>) attached * Selectable input <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/codepage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#codepage</a> (so far only <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cp437" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cp437</a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cp850" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cp850</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cp858" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cp858</a>) * Selectable output format, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/utf8" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#utf8</a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/utf16" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#utf16</a> or <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/utf16le" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#utf16le</a>, with or without <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/BOM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BOM</a> Still a few things to add, e.g. use <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/termcap" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#termcap</a>/#terminfo or Windows Console API for "color output" when applicable ... we will see 😎<a href="https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v0.2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v0.2</a>

Felix Palmen 📯Remember these specific <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ASCIIart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASCIIart</a> misrenderings using the wrong <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/codepage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#codepage</a>? Made actually a good testcase after adding codepage selection to my new "dos2ansi" tool 😜 <a href="https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi</a>Screenshot from <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/konsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#konsole</a> (<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KDE</a>) running on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> and using Microsoft's <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Consolas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Consolas</a> font.
