[kwlug-disc] Curling This Website Was a Mistake, but you *should* do it anyway (+ Ghost TTY)

[Ron]

Dave from YSAP has another great video, this time covering ANSI codes 
for terminals running bash.

First, this site you *should* curl:

curl ysap.sh


Pretty output - the web page displayed using ANSI codes.




This site though, this is something else, run in a new terminal:

curl -NL hotdogstand.lol


Then... run `reset` to fix the interesting colours.


Then, fix what reset can't.


What a fascinating deep-dive into ANSI control codes, as Dave always does.

He leans on the GhostTTY documentation - which is better than I think 
I've ever seen anywhere else on ANSI codes.



Anyone use GhostTTY?  How do you like it?  Looks like it has GPU 
accelerated graphics. In a terminal. Cool!
