#122I integrated this[1] with my MOTD on ssh login.. :) With random effect each time. 1: https://keeb.dev/static/login.mp4
This is super cool

#123Reminds me of my old geocities site when I was a kid. Copy and pasted HTML from many websites to get that "hax0r" feel.
Now I can get that nostalgia in my terminal

#124This is amazing! Please never ever use it in production.
It would be great for the startup screens of terminal games.

Idk I wouldn’t mind one or two of these as loading screens or something.
What CLI tools have a slow enough boot to require a loading screen? I'm sure there are some but... The only one that comes to mine for me is FileBot[0] - and if the loading screen made it take ANY additional time, I'd be annoyed. [0] https://www.filebot.net/
Not for booting but for processing (downloading files, processing a directory, waiting for an api, etc)

I propose that developers are allowed to use it in production... so long as they do all the development work on a 9600 baud dialup with a VT102.
A few years ago, a submarine cable was knocked out, between our startup's MVP servers in Singapore AWS, and our networked factory stations in Asia. In lieu of the submarine cable, something closer to a wet string was being routed over. It had such high latency and packet loss, that a watchdog timer I'd implemented on the stations was timing out. Fortunately, the remote access we'd built into our stations (SSH and Ope…
How exactly did you get the stations working? Be specific.

No. I still sometimes need to use a TTY over MOSH over a satellite connection. No.
In the old days, some software would actually check the terminal's baud rate (which you can see with 'stty') and behave differently on slow links. For example, vi would restrict itself to fewer lines of the screen so that drawing a new page didn't take as long.
Although I don't know if much software does it, that should still be possible to do it, so these animations could theoretically be auto-disabled on slow links. (And you could manually override the baud rate in your mosh terminal if necessary since it doesn't really have any other effect in a virtual terminal, not like when using an actual serial port, I mean.)
