  • video-to-ascii

    It is a simple python package to play videos in the terminal using characters as pixels

  • This was a fun little hack I wrote in NodeJS. I used the video-to-ascii project to output the Rickroll MP4 as a series of ASCII characters (it actually outputs a nice bash script). Then I wrote a small TCP server (for telnet) in NodeJS to simply pipe the output of the video bash script right to your telnet client! To add SSH support, I used the Node ssh2 library to create a simple SSH Server that is just piped to the telnet server (basically a proxy).

  • ssh2

    SSH2 client and server modules written in pure JavaScript for node.js
