Play videos in your terminal!

On YouTube{: height="300px" } In a terminal{: height="300px" }

Assuming you have mpv, just run CACA_DRIVER=ncurses mpv -vo=caca *path_to_video*.

You can also pipe youtube-dl into this command, but sometimes I get a bunch of cryptic error messages. I've found that downloading the video beforehand tends to work better.

I also recommend turning down your terminal's font size.

Goodbye X, hello tty!
