How to play ASCII-Art Star Wars offline

Following will teach you how to play the "easter-egg" (which actually isn't, but many people describe this as an easter egg) of ASCII-Art Star Wars (or Star Wars in terminal/telnet, whatever), the one you normally starts like this:

$ telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Before you start, ensure Node.js is installed.
Navigate to www.asciimation.co.nz, the original home of that ASCII-Art Star Wars.
Press F12 to open developer tools.

Yubikey + GPG + Github + Keybase

The following guide are steps that can be used to generate GPG keys on a YubiKey, use the gpg keys to sign github commits, and publish the public gpg key to Keybase.

Why is this a good idea?

Generating and storing GPG keys on a YubiKey allows the private key to be protected and ported between physical machines.
Signing git commits adds an extra layer of verification that code changes originated from an trusted source.
Using a YubiKey + touch-to-sign requires a physical presence to use the GPG signing key.
GitHub supports restricting commits to a repo to only those that are signed.
Putting a physical stamp on your code commits invokes a feeling of pride.

Improve Fonts

Newest

Make your Arch fonts beautiful easily! This is what I do when I install Arch Linux to improve the fonts.

You may consider the following settings to improve your fonts for system-wide usage without installing a patched font library packages (eg. Infinality):

Install some fonts, for example:
sudo pacman -S ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation noto-fonts

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git
