Show HN: a Rust Based CLI tool 'imgcatr' for displaying images
timg is a really nice similar tool that does pixel graphics in the terminal window if supported, falling back to character graphics if not.
The big plus is that it supports SVG images.

And it is available via brew/apt/etc.

[i3] [OC] Pokemon in your Shell
This image then gets displayed to your terminal using timg (https://github.com/hzeller/timg). If you have a terminal which supports sixel (displays pixels 1 to 1 on your terminal then you can display the images as it. I'm using both alacritty (no-sixel) and kitty (sixel support) in the images shown.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
