     @Viss Main reason for SSH: Compression. The raw data rate is more than DVD video, lol.

     @f4grx Quality control of the DVD subtitle OCR, positioning, and formatting. I have scripts that mostly automate this, but it needs a manual cleanup pass. Sneakers took me an afternoon, maybe?

     It's a work in progress, but a bunch of the code and scripts are on GitHub:

     https://github.com/ryancdotorg/ansi-player-rs

     https://github.com/ryancdotorg/ansiani

     By far the most pain in the ass part is the subtitles.

     ssh rickroll@ansi.rya.nc also works, btw

     @ryanc Yeah, it does, but it's extremely slow (much slower on my 9950X3D with Nvidia graphics than pterm running inside Xvnc session on my server; I tried both the modern Terminal and classic Console Host, both are slow).

     Maybe I should ping @simontatham re PuTTY/plink.

     @tony

     Character-cell pseudo-graphics! This was done back in the 1980s to get #CGA to do 16-color #graphics. (Normally you'd need #EGA to do that.)

     But of course this is the 21st century, so we can do it in 24-bit color now.

     Fun fact: #kitty has a straight-up 24/32-bit pixel graphics protocol too https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/ although it does not support lossy compression (MPEG, AV1, etc) and therefore requires tons of bandwidth to play video.
