Very pleased to release the `headroom` command which will put an animated Max Headroom directly in your terminal window so he can laugh at the ridiculous name you gave your hard disk. Instructions to install are here: https://benbrown.com/txt/read/2026-05-01 Enjoy!!!!

@benbrown@masto.hackers.town fwiw, if you need an even faster way to get max, say because your friend left their laptop unlocked: `npx @benbrown@masto.hackers.town/headroom`

@benbrown@masto.hackers.town what lib did you use for the video? I really wanna do a realtime video chat app in the terminal. I started with this years ago: https://github.com/frigginglorious/webcamToCLI
