Comments

So you can play piano over SSH obviously!

Okay, yes, there's X11 forwarding but this is a lot simpler, right?

Oh yeah, you can call some friends to login to the same server and play a concert over SSH!

Why insist on doing this inside a terminal... ?

Simple: because it's fun!

Is this your first day? XD
