pipes.sh VS no-more-secrets

Have to 100% agree with you. I’m very privacy centered and it’s great having just about everything on my system be open source to the 3D modeling software to the coding software I use. I personally love Linux for the customization options as they pretty much limitless. Recently changed around my KDE desktop and I am in love with how it looks. Could never get a look out of Windows. The terminal animations are so fun to mess around with. I’ve seen the Matrix one but I also love Pipes.sh for the terminal window too. It’s really cool what things you can do in it.

Pipes Script - Pipes.sh

pipes.sh is probably my favorite terminal screensaver but I am wondering if there's more terminal screensavers that I haven't heard of.

Sometimes I leave my computer and after around 10-15 minutes the monitor turns off. I would like to change the time it takes to turn off the monitor and, if possible, trigger a screensaver animation like pipes.sh.

Make sure to have pipes.sh and lolcat

Your comparison is a bit disingenuous. I thought that the reasonable point of comparison was obvious, so let me state it in case it's not:

* For this C program: Let's say a default install of a Debian system, with GCC and Make installed. Nothing else. Just clone and run make && ./bin/nms.

* For an hypothetical JavaScript implementation: Same Debian system, with Node.js installed. Nothing else. Just clone and run node ./src/nms.js.

Now tell me that the second point would ever happen, of course without the obvious trick of vendoring tens or hundreds of dependencies in the repo itself. Given the current trends and ecosystem incentives in the JS development world, I highly doubt it.

These trends only favor mindless composition, of which the latter is good, but the former is bad. IMHO most devs would probably not even consider the idea of writing a compact, self-contained piece of code and have their own termio [1] or charset [2] implementations, to begin with.

I would love to see someone use this to do the "No More Secrets" effect from Sneakers in a film or TV show. It still looks so cool.

Just in case if you're wondering what are those alien looking things appearing in my CLI, that is NMS (no more secrets), just a tool to prank your friends. I'll leave a link as well😺

To fellow lovers of that film: allow me to introduce you to No More Secrets, an implementation of the decryption effect shown in the film.

If you've seen the movie "Sneakers" you'll probably want to check this out. And if you haven't seen Sneakers, then watch it.
