Do you love Star Wars? What about the Matrix?
Today's "Useless but Fun" is "2 in 1" (and as a happy accident, this sentence rhymes!)
Star Wars fans, rejoice!
This one is very old, and most of you have probably seen it! It's just a telnet server that has Star Wars in text mode, so you can watch it from Windows as well! I haven't seen Star Wars so I don't know how accurate this is, but it is still fun!
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
and enjoy!
The Matrix is here!
What if I told you that you live in the Matrix? Not really... You can make your computer look like it is in the Matrix though!
Install cmatrix: sudo apt-get install cmatrix
When it finishes, just run cmatrix. You will get something like this:
Note: Do not use this in production servers, as cmartix is a somewhat intensive program.
Bonus tip (not that useless though!)
Run curl wttr.in! You will get a reply with the weather in the area the remote server thinks you are in.
You can run this: curl wttr.in/athens to get the weather in Athens!
You can read more about wttr.in, here
Big thanks to , who commented with this one on my previous Useless but Fun Linux Terminal Tip
Enjoy! :)
