ttrpg fortunes
fortune is one of those classic unix programs that are available on basically all unixoid systems. The only thing it does is “display a pseudorandom message from a database of quotations”, or as the man-page of fortune for debian says: “fortune – print a random, hopefully interesting, adage”.
To be fair, the fortune part of the name comes from fortune cookies. So whatever is printed is not meant to be taken too seriously.
You wouldn’t think this is a terribly interesting or even useful program, but people have found uses for it over the last few decades. It might just be used to provide a human element to an otherwise sterile work environment, but I also found it used at least once to provide a noticeable update to an otherwise static website (by printing adages about project management. So the updates were functionally useless, but the program did fulfill an important task).
What the program does is this: it takes a file of adages, or sayings, or other small text snippets, and when called prints one of them. You can chose which file you want to take those from, you can choose the length you want your printed text to be, and a few other smaller options. It will determine one and output it. It’s one of those programs that breathes the unix philosophy that a program should do just one thing, but do it well.
You might encounter it every time when you log on to a shell, where the admin has configured fortune to print a quote. Or some people have it in their signature for forums or emails. (sometimes connected with something like cowsay which prints a bit of crude ascii art cow (or whatever) saying whatever fortune spit out.

Anyway, I was futzing around with our IRC network lately and while playing around with a bot that could use fortune, I realized that there was no actual file available for stuff about roleplaying (or wargaming, or boardgaming, or any gaming for that matter).
So I decided to make one.
Right now it’s only a small page on campaignwiki.org: https://campaignwiki.org/wiki/TTRPGFortuneFile/HomePage but the idea is to soon enough move that to github and do it on there.
If you want to add to the file: the page above is a wiki so you can just add what you want to add. (some people already did). I am looking for pithy sayings, jokes, DM advice, and everything else that might be interesting. Have a great quote about roleplaying games? Maybe even a more or less short story? Just add it on there.

Interesting how #unix stuff comes with #libresolv to do more than just basic #DNS lookups since ~forever (4.3BSD, 1986), and it seems impossible to find documentation about the API going into more details than "there are a few functions, good luck and have fun."
@trinux `rsync` hace mucho mejor trabajo que `cp`, sé que puede considerarse "sacrilegio" a la herencia de #UNIX, por eso hablo de una versión de distro. Y no me expliqué suficientemente bien, me imagino una distro en la que, desde la interfaz gráfica, concretamente en el gestor de archivos, el backend para copiar se base en `rsync` en lugar de basarse en `cp`.

I rarely use my personal laptop at my desk, I use it on my lap in front of the TV unless I have a specific need for external displays. Last night, I went to use it at my desk.
Hardware: The same USB-C dongle, two ultrawide and single FHD monitors as ever.
Software: Fully updated @opensuse #Tumbleweed with #NVIDIA drivers.
This all "just worked" last time I used it. Now, I can only use enable one ultrawide at a time.
I shall dig into logs later.
Un Linus Torvalds visibilmente più "senior" ci confessa che "Git è più popolare di Linux", nonostante sia stato pensato come un tool secondario, per agevolare lo sviluppo del kernel.
Un altro aspetto interessante è quanto sia avvenuto velocemente il cambio di maintainer.
Prima o poi anche il kernel Linux dovrà allontanarsi dal suo creatore; il passaggio sarà altrettanto indolore?
