Suggestions for new programs to run in panes

Some screensavers

• pipes.sh (cpipes is probably more efficient, but less likely to be in repos)
• pipesX.sh
• weave.sh's sample-screensaver.sh
• nyancat (source)
• termsaver
  • has a clock
  • has a programming animation (types out text files from a directory)
  • has several network connected options: ascii starwars, typing animation of url source or rfc, rss feeds, quotes, jokes, and asciiaetfarts.
  • places text in random places
  • (if you use this, I recommend installing from git; requires pillow)
• gh-screensaver
• tscrnsvr
• search GitHub for terminal screensaver for more...there's many

Various system information fetchers - they're not noisy, but they would still add to the effect, and wouldn't use cpu. Would lookg good in the middle of you have a 3x3 grid.

• neofetch, though there's maybe a bit too much output
• nerdfetch is bash, doesn't have a big display, looks cool
• many alternatives listed https://github.com/beucismis/awesome-fetch

Wow... These packages look great, can we not add them ourselves somehow? Very new on Git, but this can be done yes? Fork the software then download the package to change at will?

Just wondering, as it would be a great little project to know how to do this.

Well, we do hexdumps of binary files from /usr/bin/*. We found these more interesting than /dev/random, in that files from /usr/bin do occasionally have strings and bits of readable information (like prompts and documation) mixed in, along with plenty of truly binary data.
