Added some ascii-art into my website source code, because why not?

@sarajw currently down a rabbit hole of online image-to-ASCII art generators

@andypiper I drew mine myself They can be generated but they're never as nice
If you ask me nicely I could help you ...

@sarajw ... I also have a lovely @andycarolan original I'd love to ASCIIfy, and most of the generators I've found are displeasing to me. Would you mind? =D

@sarajw That's very nicely done.
My site :fietkau_me: https://fietkau.me also has an easter egg like that, albeit a much tinier one:
At the end of the source code, I have a single-line comment that rotates between silly jokes, trivia about me, and quotes from media I like. It changes once per minute, wanna try to catch them all?

@andypiper @sarajw Ah, yeah, I will have to come up with a better ASCII art, this doesn't look good at all on mobile!

@andypiper @sarajw Also, I wrote a bit about this when I added it humans.txt to my site --- 11 years (!) ago!

OOOOOOK So
Accessibility - there are some devs who are blind, of course, and the above was a bit gnarly when the screen reader went over it.
I have separated out the text and ASCII-art, and then added a little "ascii-art begins" clause with some ALT text. Then readers can choose move away when it starts reading out all the punctuation.

@sarajw Now I have to do this with my ASCII art! Another one for the backlog.
