Use Codrops' Type Shuffle Animation (demo https://tympanus.net/Development/TypeShuffleAnimation/, article https://tympanus.net/codrops/?p=70337, code https://github.com/codrops/TypeShuffleAnimation, MIT) for a hacker-terminal reveal: monospace lines whose characters cycle through random glyphs and colours before resolving, with six effects (fx1–fx6 in src/js/typeShuffle.js). It splits lines and characters with SplitType and shuffles them on timers with Math.random, so it is not seek-safe as shipped: replace the random source with a seeded generator and compute each character's state from frame / fps (how many shuffle cycles have passed for that cell), or rebuild the effect as a paused GSAP timeline. Put it in a dark full frame or a terminal window, with my own copy in the lines.
