Is 80 Euros the standard price for a custom poster? I see that the .tiff is available, and I'm down to take it to my local print shop, but only if the total print cost is about $20-$30

#12There are tees in the pipes and I think the trap and valve was significant. I think the bucket is catching a (memory) leak. Is the guy outside using a reaper? That's not just a spool, but a /usr/spool. There was some talk that the castle represented a domain. And of course the big c shell cauldron.

#13This is phenomenal. All the eggs I could find are: the spool, pipe, cat, thread (on the far left), shell, boot and fork. Are there any others, not including the characters on the cape and the words on the bags/jars?
- The "shell process" (visual pun! I love it) is "outputting to null"
- The hat ribbon has the initials "dmr," "kt," and "bwk" - presumably Dennis M. Ritchie, Ken Thompson, and Brian W. Kernighan
Any others?

A 3-foot tall poster can be over $500 if you get top-notch quality and put it behind nice glass and a nice custom frame.
It's hard to tell how large the photo is here, but $80 isn't surprising at all if the material mentioned (Al Dibond) really is nice. I'm not familiar with it.
If you just want the poster on normal poster paper, I'm confident you could find a print shop to do it for $25.

Edit: I checked groupon.de and found a 40x60cm (near DIN A2) aluminium dibond print for 19€ + 7€ shipping ( https://www.groupon.de/deals/lieblingsfoto-73 )

#18Same resolution, lower quality / smaller (smooshed with pngquant): https://github.com/tyingq/unix-magic-poster/raw/main/ump2.pn...
Also, what's "Oregano" in this context? Seems out of place if it's just the herb/spice.

#19I have a real one hanging in my living room lol. They're really beautiful pieces of art, and this is the best of the series by far.
(had - one is now in the possession of my adult son)
