It looks like a QR code can hold around 3Kb of text or info on a 177x177
grid. I think terminal resolution is only 80 wide.

However, I've seen apps like google-authenticator, scale up the QR code to
make a larger grid available.

Qrencode is a popular binary for this and used in the Wireguard VPN world
to pass around configs quickly. And RSA keys can be split in half and
transported this way as well.
