Fortunes for your terminal

#1

Do you guys use fortunes in your terminal? Everytime you open your terminal a little snippet appears to either brighten or ruin your day?

If you do what do you use?

I love the Chuck Norris one and just discovered the Monty Python one today

I love the Plan9 version of fortune, it’s in the 9base package and is called by prefixing 9 before the command:

Puffy:~$ 9 fortune
Nothing of interest ever happened on this day.
Puffy:~$

:slight_smile:

I added famous quotes from Carl Sagan. Since I was little I forgot about borders and looked into space. Sometimes I need this kind of phrases to see that we are just humans floating in space, our problems are very small.

Si alguien no está de acuerdo contigo, déjalo tranquilo. No encontrarás a nadie parecido en 100.000.000.000 de galaxias

I like the Klingon software engineer’s phrasebook ones - go well as random sig files in software Usenet groups. Example: " Klingons do not “release” software. Klingon software escapes, leaving a bloody trail of design engineers and quality assurance testers in its wake!"
